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.

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...

Sophie : Oh, my God...
C.D. Bales : I love doing that to them.
