(2) Dr. Prokosch (Oscar Homolka) to his student Cathy ( Kim Novak ) who proposes to be the live-in girlfriend of three married men for her sociology thesis in Boys' Night Out (1962): -- Prokosh: ' Can you look like yes and act like no?

It's not a noun, it's not a verb, it's not an adjective. I don't know what it is, but if you said it to me tonight all the blackness would go away and you and I would be connected by a tunnel of light.' -- Roxanne: ' What's the word, Chris? ' -- Charlie: ' Yes. '
