The Purple Rose of Cairo

I just met a wonderful new man! He's fictional, but you can't have everything.

Cecilia

Tom Baxter's come down off the screen and he's running around New Jersey! ...Nobody knows how it happened, but he's done it.

Gil's Agent

What are you people doing here? We can't continue the story 'til Tom gets back.

Jason

I want what happened in the movie last week to happen this week; otherwise, what’s life all about anyway?

Moviegoer

Cecilia, it's clear how miserable you are with your husband. And if he hits you again, you tell me. I'd be forced to knock his teeth out.

Tom Baxter

Dad was a card. I never met him. He died before the movie began.

Tom Baxter

I don’t get hurt or bleed, hair doesn’t muss; it’s one of the advantages of being imaginary.

Tom Baxter

I love you. I'm honest, dependable, courageous, romantic, and a great kisser.

Tom Baxter
