Rox Populi asks visitors to confess their guilty cinematic pleasures. Much to our surprise and delight, several individuals confessed to a love of the Patrick Swayze classic Road House.

Given the passion for etiquette and good manners that drives us at the Pepper, we'd like to share some of Patrick Swayze's maxims from this classic:

"All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice."

"People who really want to have a good time won't come to a slaughterhouse. And we've got entirely too many troublemakers here. Too many 40-year-old adolescents, felons, power drinkers and trustees of modern chemistry." (Sounds like the Court of King George II!)

And the ultimate line to remember when faced with an opponent:
"I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice."
