From "#1113/1114: Robservations 09/19/03: Barnabas to the Rescue!"
And another Robservations in which the quote is word for word...

On the terrace, by the fountain, Lamar complains, Roxanne, you don't think too highly of my profession, do you? Did I offend you? she asks, I'm so sorry--(sarcastically) just that the thought of making one's living from the death doesn't fascinate me. Death is a fact of life, my dear, he says, and it must be dealt with tastefully, and with reverence--the Trask Chapel is an institution in Collinsport. Would you mind if we don't discuss the Trask Chapel this evening? she requests. But it is my livelihood, he reminds her, and it must not be treated frivolously--but, he smiles, we are not here to discuss my profession--the fact is, there is very little time left before your father returns--I think I'm entitled to an answer from you. You mean you think you're entitled to the answer you and father have already decided upon, she says bitchily--well, you're not, Lamar, my answer is still no--you're not the man for me! Insulted, he asks, might I assume there is someone else? You may assume NOTHING! she says--but someday, I will meet a man--a stranger, his goodness and gentleness will overwhelm me--and I'll be amazed by an air of mystery that surrounds him--and he will be courtly and charming--and he will love me as I want to be loved--I've always dreamed of such a man, and I know that we're destined to meet. At the gate, Barnabas watches and listens as Roxanne goes on about her perfect man. He smiles..[/spoiler]
