A scene from American Beauty 1999
Angela

Jane and I had a fight. It was about you. She's mad at me because I said I think you're sexy.

Lester

So, you gonna tell me? What do you want?

Angela

I don't know...What do you want?

Lester

Are you kidding? I want you. I've wanted you ever since the first moment I saw you. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Angela

You don't think I'm ordinary?

Lester

You couldn't be ordinary if you tried.

Angela

Thank you. I don't think there's anything worse than being ordinary. [Opens her blouse, exposing her breasts, and lies back beneath Lester] This is my first time.

Lester

[Laughs]

You're kidding.S

Angela

I'm sorry. I still want to do it. I just...thought I should tell you, in case you wondered why I wasn't...better. [Lester stops] What's wrong? I thought you said I was beautiful.

Lester

You are beautiful. You are so beautiful - and I would be a very lucky man.

Angela

I feel so stupid!

Lester

Don't...You have nothing to be sorry about...It's okay, everything's okay.
