Stripes (1981)

Roberta Leighton: Anita

Quotes 

• John Winger : How much can you straighten out in one week?

  Anita : It hasn't been a week, John. It's been six months! Nothing's changed! You sleep until noon and then you watch "Rocky and Bullwinkle" and then you drive your... , what, a couple of hours? You come home and you order out food and then you play those stupid Tito Puente albums until two in the morning!

  John Winger : Tito Puente is going to be dead and you're going to say, "Oh, I've been listening to him for years and I think he's fabulous."

  Anita : That's right. And then you watch movies until dawn and then - then you come to bed with me.

  John Winger : You don't think that takes energy? You're a sexual dynamo! Most guys couldn't even handle you. I've been readin' books on the outside just so I can keep up with you!

  Anita : It's not funny. You're going nowhere, John. It's just not that cute anymore.

  John Winger : It's a little cute. Come on, I'm part of a lost and restless generation. What do you want me to do? Run for the Senate?

• Anita : John, no. It's not going to work! Look, I like you; but, I need something more. I need somebody whose going to develop with me and somebody whose going to grow with me. Goodbye.

  John Winger : Grow?

  Anita : Bye.

  John Winger : Who can grow more than me? Talk about massive potential for growth! I am the little acorn that becomes the oak!
