Footloose
1984
Chuck: I thought only pansies wore neckties. Ren: See that? I thought only assholes used the word "pansy".
Ren: (to Willard) Hey, I like that hat, man. They sell men's clothes where you got that?
Reverend Shaw Moore: If our lord wasn't testing us, how would you account for the proliferation, these days, of this obscene rock and roll music, with its gospel of easy sexuality and relaxed morality?
Reverend Shaw Moore: Even if this was not a law, which it is, I'm afraid I would have a lot of difficulty endorsing an enterprise which is as fraught with genuine peril as I believe this one to be. Besides the liquor and the drugs which always seem to accompany such an event the thing that distresses me even more, Ren, is the spiritual corruption that can be involved. These dances and this kind of music can be destructive, and, uh, Ren, I'm afraid you're going to find most of the people in our community are gonna agree with me on this.
Ren: You like Men At Work? Willard: what men? Ren: Men at work. Willard: well where do they work? Ren: No, they're a music group. Willard: well what do they call themselves? Ren: Oh no! What about the Police? Willard: What about 'em? Ren: You ever heard them? Willard: No, but I seen them. Ren: Where, in concert? Willard: No, behind you.
Ariel: Hey MacCormick! When this hat flies in the air, you better have your butt in gear.
Wes: Ethel are you sure you're not tired? Ethel: No, Ren did most of the driving. Amy: If you ask me, Ren is a total fox. Lulu: Amy! Wes: Where did you hear that? Ethel do you see how television and those kinds of books influence children? You see?
Wes: Seems that a bunch of kids was raising some hell over at Burlington Cranton's property a few days back. Tore up the fields, turned over a tractor and everything. Today someone suggested to me there's been some trouble up at the high school. I think it was drugs. You don't happen to know anything about it do you. Ren: (Quietly) No. Wes: What was that, I can't hear you. Amy: He said no. Lulu: Amy. Ren: I said no sir.
Wes: It seems that a lot of people are pointing the finger in your direction lately. Ren: And what have they said? Wes: What I have been telling you about the trouble and the drugs and it just seems like you've had a lot of problems since you moved. And I figured... Ren: You figured "Where there's smoke there's fire" right? Wes: Usually works like that. Now Ren, you know that I would never try to take the place of your father... Ren: Yeah well there's no chance of that! (Gets up and leaves the house) Lulu: Ren! Sarah: (Running over to the window) Uh oh he's taking the car.
Ren: What are you doing here? Ariel: Watchin'. Ren: I thought I was alone. Ariel: Not in this town. There's eyes everywhere.
Willard: You know what it is, you've got an attitude problem. Ren: Oh I've got an attitude problem? Willard: Yes and I'm not the first one that's noticed it. I mean we're not stuck in the goddamn middle ages here. I mean we've got TV. We've got Family Feud. We're not stuck in Leave It To Beaver land here. Ren: Well I haven't noticed a wet T-shirt contest in town yet. Willard: Yeah but I'm waiting. Patiently.
Ren: Hey Hey! What's this I see? I thought this was a party. LET'S DANCE!
