A scene from Roxanne 1987
Ralston

Man, whatever you do, don't stare.

Chris McConnell:

Look, I'm not gonna stare, come on.

Jerry

None of us would. But you get there, and you feel yourself not staring.

Ralston

Then you think, "it's obvious I'm not staring." So you look, and you think, "I'm staring." So you say, "this is ridiculous," and you take a GOOD LOOK. And you think, "I'm looking at a man who, when he washes his face, loses the bar of soap." [laughs]

Chris McConnell

Thanks guys, all right.

Ralston

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Dixie

Hey, what about your boyfriend? What was his name?

Roxanne Kowalski

Richard.

Dixie

When's he coming?

Roxanne Kowalski

He's not. He's not coming.

Dixie

What happened?

Roxanne Kowalski

We just ran out of gas. I guess I mistook sex for love.

Sandy

Oh, I did that once. It was great.

C.D. Bales

Let's take a look at that letter...

Chris McConnell

I think it's really good!

C.D. Bales

"Dear Roxanne, how's it going? Want to have a drink sometime? If you do, check this box."

C.D. Bales

You must know about M31.

Roxanne Kowalski

Yeah.

C.D. Bales

Now, see, I like it when they give astronomical objects names, you know, like "Andromeda" and "Saturn" and "Sea of Tranquility." This whole numbering thing is just too boring for us civilians.

Roxanne Kowalski

Do you know how many objects are up there?

C.D. Bales

Well, I know it's over fifty.

C.D. Bales

[to two drunks that have just made fun of his nose]

I really admire your shoes.

Drunk #1

What?

C.D. Bales

I love your shoes.

Drunk #2

What do ya mean?

C.D. Bales

And I was just thinking: as much as I really admire your shoes, and as much as I'd love to have a pair just like them, I really wouldn't want to be IN your shoes at this particular time and place.
