Andie: Look, the streets is about where you're from. It's not some school talent show. There's no spring floors. There's no spotlights to use what you got and... what makes you think you got it, huh?
Andie: I remember the first time I saw someone move like they were from another planet, I couldn't keep my eyes away. I was little mom took me to a jam session in the neighborhood, it started off small but word spread and soon some of the best dancers around were showing up to compete in something they eventually called the streets. It became home, I got a front row seat to history. I wanted to glide and spin and fly like they did, but it didn't come easy. My mom would tell me don't give up, just be you, because life's too short to be anybody else. She was right. When I was 16 my mom got sick and in a couple months she was gone. Everything changed, including the streets.
Chase Collins: They just hatin' on you cause you dope.
Tuck: Yo, why my crib smell like Funyuns, broccoli and ball sweat?
Andie: What's your deal? Boy bands making a comeback?
Chase Collins: Yeah, they actually offer a course on it here
[pause]
Chase Collins: I'm getting straight A's.
Andie: [sarcasm] That wouldn't surprise me.
Chase Collins: There's a lot you don't know about me, Andie.
Andie: Which is surprising, considering how much you talk about yourself.
DJ Sand: That's not how we do it. This ain't High School Musical!
Andie: The streets are supposed to be about different people coming together... We call this a battle but what are we fighting for? We're all here because we have this thing we do, we dance... Being part of the street used to mean much more than just turf or power... It's about bringing something new to the floor... and it shouldn't matter what we wear, what school or what neighborhood were from because the best part of the streets is not about what you got, it's what you make of what you've got! So if the 410's too scared to defend their title against us, hell, well be doing our thing outside where the streets started!
Moose: [after tasting tofu dog, sings:] Tastes like candy canes - at Christmas.
Moose: Yeah, we're her crew! We're getting ready to battle at the streets.
Felicia: What street? Sesame Street?

Step Up
Mac: You feel like because you're a white boy you gotta overcompensate or something?
Tyler: Wow, like wow, you got me figured out, Montel.
Mac: Yeah, I might be Montel but you're the one going Jerry Springer all the time.
Skinny: Hey, if you're Montel and you're Jerry, then I'm like...
Mac: Jenny Jones.
Tyler: No, like Ellen.
Mac: Except Ellen gets more chicks than he does!
Tyler: You guys are all talking about dancing like it's rocket science or something.
Tyler: Do I look like I own tights?
Tyler: Is.. is this where you kill me?
Brett: When someone hands you your dreams, you take it, you don't ask questions.
Nora: I would.
Brett: You think you would. You don't know until it's right in front of you. Seriously, Nora, would you have walked away?
Miles: Look, I can play it alright. I just prefer playin' wit myself.
Tyler: Woa, what?
Lucy: He makes it too easy.
Miles: No, not playin' wit myself. Just listen.
Dr. Gordon: Only kids who make it are the ones that are prepared to fight for it.
Dr. Gordon: Saying the words doesn't make it so.
Dr. Gordon: You have to show me. Show me that you want it, really want it.
Nora: In her words, she majors in dance because she already knows how to sing.
Tyler: Didn't know you could dance without your tights.
Tyler: For me, it's just better not to want anything. That way if it goes away or if it doesn't happen, you know, it just doesn't matter.
Tyler: There are a lot of things I want now that I didn't used to. I even catch myself every once in a while actually thinking I can have 'em.
Tyler: I could deal with the chubbiness. But if you were missing those two front teeth, I don't know if I could work with that.
Nora: It's about going after what you want, right?
Miles: If you want to be with someone who doesn't appreciate a good thing that he's got, that's 100% your business. I just thought you'd be smart enough to know you deserve better.
Mac: So you're messing around with our friendship for a girl?
Mac: I don't know. Man who turns his back on his boy...
Tyler: Deserves a second chance.
Tyler: I'm fighting for something that's real for the first time in my life.
Tyler: Wow, like wow, you got me figured out, Montel.
Mac: Yeah, I might be Montel but you're the one going Jerry Springer all the time.
Skinny: Hey, if you're Montel and you're Jerry, then I'm like...

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
Katey: [voiceover] November 1958, my senior year of high school. While other girls were listening to Elvis and dreaming about prom dates, I was read Jane Austen and dreaming about college. And then my parents announced we were moving to Cuba, in a week. Slamming doors and giving the silent treatment couldn't change that, but it was easier than admitting I was really scared. At least everyone else was happy. Dad got his big promotion from Ford. Mom got to travel in style, and Susie... I swear that girl could adjust in a hurricane. Here's what I know about Cuba: My high school French wasn't going to help me. I didn't know a single person and though no one would talk about it, Fidel Castro was leading a people in a revolution against President Batista, not that you would know it from this place.
Eve: This is Cuba. Nobody cares what you do here.
Polly: My God. June Cleaver is in Havana.
Katey: "Now the suitors turned to dance and song to the lovely beaten sway waiting for dusk to come upon them there and the dark night came upon them, lost in pleasure."
James: You know, a lot of girls don't like to let on that they're smart.
Johnny: My job is to make you look beautiful. Your job is to make our bodies look like one. Watch.
Carlos: That's right. You make 'em. We steal 'em.
Javier: When I dance, I have no routine.
Javier: It's like dancing with my mother's ironing board.
Mrs. Miller: It's awkward to talk about. Even if you're having feelings about James, certain feelings you're not used to having... The decisions you make now, the choices you make could affect your whole life.Do you understand what I'm saying? You do?
Johnny: If you can't move through your fear and connect with yourself, then there's absolutely no way you're gonna connect with your partner. Listen to me. I know that it's scary as hell to let another person touch that part of you. But if you do... it's worth it. Now forget everything I said and just dance.
Javier: Afro-Cuban dance, it was the dance of the slaves. When they danced, it was their only time to feel free. So they could be a bird, you know...or do a flamenco step and make fun of their owners. Or just be in the sea instead of being stuck on an island away from home. It's a dance about being exactly who you want to be in that moment. It has to feel and look as natural as the waves. Coming and going. Coming...
Mrs. Miller: You have a choice. You can do nothing. You can hide under the bed...
Katey: Or you can work through the knots.
Katey: I am taking you with me.
Javier: I am keeping you here.
Katey: [voiceover] Javier once said that dancing is about being exactly who you want to be in that moment. Dancing with him, I realized I was becoming exactly the woman I wanted to be. We didn't win the contest, but we did win something more important to us. On my last night in Havana we were King and Queen of La Rosa Negra. We didn't know when we would see each other again, but we knew that this wasn't our last dance.
Eve: This is Cuba. Nobody cares what you do here.
Polly: My God. June Cleaver is in Havana.
Katey: "Now the suitors turned to dance and song to the lovely beaten sway waiting for dusk to come upon them there and the dark night came upon them, lost in pleasure."

Dirty Dancing
Baby: [voiceover] That was the summer of 1963 when everybody called me 'Baby' and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.
Penny: Oh, come on, ladies. God wouldn't have given you maracas if He didn't want you to shake 'em.
Johnny: Just put your pickle on everybody's plate college boy and leave the hard stuff to me.
Neil: Sometimes in this world you see things you don't want to see.
Penny: Go back to your playpen, Baby.
Robbie Gould: I didn't blow a summer hauling toasted bagels just to bail out some little chick who probably balled every guy in the place. Some people count and some people don't.
Johnny: It takes a real saint to ask Daddy.
Johnny: It's not on the one, it's not the mambo. It's a feeling; a heartbeat.
Penny: Oh, come on, ladies. God wouldn't have given you maracas if He didn't want you to shake 'em.
Johnny: Just put your pickle on everybody's plate college boy and leave the hard stuff to me.
