Quotes 

• Dixie : So, why don't you ask her out?

  C.D. Bales : Sometimes I take a walk at night and I see couples walking, holding hands and I look at them and I think: "Why not me?" Then I catch my shadow on the wall...

• Dixie : What can you sit on, sleep on, and brush your teeth with?

  C.D. Bales : Huh?

  Dixie : It's a riddle. What can you sit on, sleep on, and brush your teeth with?

  C.D. Bales : I don't know.

  Dixie : A chair, a bed, and a toothbrush.

  C.D. Bales : What's the point?

  Dixie : The point is that sometimes the answer is so obvious, you don't even realize it. It's as plain as the nose on your face. You should tell her!

  C.D. Bales : Tell who, what?

  Dixie : Tell Roxanne that you love her.

• 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.

• Dixie : Want anything? A drink?

  C.D. Bales : Yeah, but if I ask for another one, give it to me.

• C.D. Bales : Here's your racket.

  Dixie : Thanks. What's this stuff on it, Vitalis?

  C.D. Bales : Oh no, it's blood.

  [banging the counter] 

  C.D. Bales : Where's my tea?

  Dixie : Bernie! You want to tell me about it?

  C.D. Bales : You're too young.

• C.D. Bales : I've got a two o'clock, and a five o'clock, and the women are just lined up around the block, mostly because of the old saying.

  Dixie : What old saying?

  C.D. Bales : You know, about the size of a man's nose relating to the size of his...

  Dixie : Of his what?

  C.D. Bales : Oh, you know.

  Dixie : Come on.

  C.D. Bales : Hey, Sophie?

  Sophie : [turns around at the next table]  Yeah?

  C.D. Bales : You know that old saying about a man's nose?

  Sophie : Oh, you mean how a man's nose relates to the size of his...

  [she stops as all the old ladies at the table gasp; they burst into excited chatter] 

  Sophie : Oh, my God...

  C.D. Bales : I love doing that to them.
