Ruth-Anne Miller quotes from Northern Exposure

Ruth-Anne

That's the most beautiful non-ceremony I ever saw.

Ruth-Anne

I feel really bad about Elaine breaking up with him. I can't help but think had she known about the plane wreck, she might have gone ahead and waited until he was dead. I think that would have been the tactful way to handle it.

Joel

Hold it, hold it, hold it! This is ridiculous! Hey, we play to a very sophisticated television audience. They know Maurice is not going to kill Nikolai, and they definitely know that Nikolai is not going to kill Maurice.

Maggie

Wait a minute, Fleischman. You can't just take it upon yourself to step out of character. Nobody yelled 'cut'.

Shelly

Joel's right. The duel is stupid.

Joel

Can we just stick to the matter at hand?

Ruth-Anne

How about the fifth revision? Where Nikolai's abscessed tooth starts acting up, and, well, he just cancels.

Shelly

Glib and textually unwarranted.

What if Maurice trips and kills someone else by mistake?

Maurice

Oh, great, so I'm a klutz now, huh?

Maggie

Look, if there's not a duel, then what is the point of this whole story?

Chris

What's the point? The point is - man's tendency to war, but Joel here is asking us to step outside of certain events and say enough. Am I right?

Shelly

Listen, whatever, it's getting cold out here.

Marilyn

Why don't we go on to the next scene? It's a pretty good one.
