RoxanneWe studied the Battle of Bull Run and the first six weeks of the Civil War. [Meg looks at her] Good lies are all in the details.
RoxanneWhat? You ain't never seen a bra before? Turn around.
RoxanneI'll just stay here and read the New Testament. I'll work on Matthew, Mark, and John. You can work on...Luke.
Roxanne[while Luke and Meg are kissing] Sorry, I know I'm interrupting, but The Ed Sullivan Show starts in three minutes. Priorities.
Roxanne[after Warren finishes his song] Warren, you're going to make a terrible priest. [awkward silence] What you should be is a singer.
Roxanne[referring to Meg] She doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, except when it comes to Patty. But if you met Patty, you’d understand why.
[on the phone] Is your friend Meg Pryor there with you? Her mother said that she might be.
Roxanne[to Meg] He wants you.
I'm not here.
Roxanne[back to the phone] She's not here. Can I take a message?
Yes you can. You can tell Meg that there is no excuse for what she did today. Because for every kid that dances on our show, there are a thousand - no, ten thousand - kids who wish they could.
RoxanneWhat did she do?
What did she do? She walked off the set right in the middle of the show. So you can tell Meg that if she plans on coming back to our show, she better take it a little bit more seriously next time, ok? Even if her best friend didn't get a chance to come back this week.
RoxanneI'll tell her. And you can count on her to take it very seriously from now on. In fact, I can guarantee that she'll be here next show. Oh, and so will I. Bye, Mike. [hangs up]
Roxanne[about Jimmy Riley] He doesn't hate you.
I gave him a black eye!
You know what happened to that kid?
RoxanneWhat?
He grew up to be associate producer of the show.
RoxanneBut that's you... oh.
Except now, that job's already taken. So I better not catch you doing this again.
RoxanneYou won't.
I won't because...
RoxanneBecause I won't do it again.
What are you doing out here? I thought you had a date with Luke.
RoxanneNope, you do. Look, the sooner you admit you like him the easier this gets for all of us. So go on in there! He's closing up!
RoxanneWe were just talking about Christmas.
Yeah. Peace. Warmth. Joy. STANLEY!
RoxanneEvery year my grandmother goes to visit her sister in Harrisburg, and my mom and I, we get to go to a fancy hotel for dinner and then to midnight mass at St. Peter's.
Aw, that's nice. Hey, Gus! Gus! Did somebody find Stanley without telling me?
RoxanneWhere do you go? To church, I mean.
I'm Jewish.
RoxanneI'm sorry.
Don't be.
RoxanneNo, I mean I'm sorry I asked. About the church.
RoxanneCan I get anything?
I'll have a soda. [Roxanne walks to kitchen] Oh, and get one for my girlfriend too. [Everyone stares at them]
And the top 3 songs this week, [Meg and Roxanne mouthing along] All My Loving, She Loves You, and...
I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND!
Alyssa got kicked off the show because her skirt was too short, Jeff got caught sneaking into Lesley Gore’s dressing room…
RoxanneBut the grammar’s good, right?
It’s all lies Roxanne. I don’t know how you could even write this stuff.
RoxanneI was just trying to spice it up a little bit.
Actually, there’s a song I kind of wrote...for you.
RoxanneIs the word "easy" in the title?
