Go To

1* Pretty much all of ''Roxanne'' is one for Steve Martin, especially the 20 (actually 25) insults scene. "Has he fallen yet?"
2-->'''CD:''' Uh... ah. Dirty: Your name wouldn't happen to be '''''Dick''''', would it?
3* C.D.'s EstablishingCharacterMoment is when he crosses paths with two drunk ski-bums. He calmly gets out of their way when they rudely demand him to, but [[BerserkButton when they insult his nose]] he delivers an epic CurbStompBattle with a ''[[ImprovisedWeapon tennis raquet]]''.
4* The climactic scene. After being told by people throughout the movie that his nose [[ChekhovsGun must be that huge for a reason]], CD uses it to smell a burning building...from at least ten miles away. And then the entire fire department shows how they've [[TookALevelInBadass improved their competence]] since the earlier training scenes.
5* CD effortlessly scaling Roxanne's house to let her back in:
6--->'''CD:''' "God, I hate heights..."
