Who can forget Vivian Ward, played by Julia Roberts in the 1990 romantic flick, Pretty Woman. Most of you might remember the very famous dialog;

Edward: "Vivian, what is it you want? What do you see happening between us?"

Vivian: "I don't know. When I was a little girl, my mama used to lock me in the attic when I was bad, which was pretty often. And I would... I would pretend I was a princess, trapped in the tower by a wicked queen. And then suddenly, this knight, on a white horse, with these colors flying, would come charging up and draw his sword... and I would wave, and he would climb up the tower, and rescue me. But never in all the time... that I had this dream... did the knight say to me, Come on, baby, I'll put you up in a great condo."
