Girls Just Want to Have Fun
1985
Maggie: Sorry, I needed the phone. Jeff: Why, the cabbage patch mothers are having a PTA meeting?
Sister Immaculata: Stay away from him, he's a boy!
(about a motorcycle) Janey: Is it safe? Drew: It's the safest thing you'll ever have between your legs. Janey: What? Drew, Jeff: Nothing!
Janey: Do you have a date or something? Lynne: No I wish, I just know I must be horny.
Janey: If I win I'm going to be on TV alright? Col Glenn: Negative!
(Janey is asking her father for permission to audition for DTV) Col Glenn: You're too young to go out at night, except for the occasional supervised school activity. When you're eighteen, then you're entitled to some nightlife. Now we had a deal, remember? Janey: We made a deal when I was seven and a half and night life was The Muppet Show! Col Glenn: Don't sass me! Janey: I'm sorry, sir.
Natalie: My shrink is right - I'm unloved, unappreciated, I only have one car...
Lynne: (to Janey) Do you do everything you're told?... oh, God. You do.
(Jeff is pushing Drew's old, corroded, smoking, brown Mercedes until the engine will start up) Drew: You don't understand that this car makes a statement. Jeff: Yeah, it says, 'Hi, I'm garbage.'
Lynne: He's a boy and he's alive, what's there to hate?
Lynne: Velcro. Next to the Walkman and tab it is the coolest invention of the 20th century!
Lynne: Whenever I'm in a room with a guy, no matter who it is - a date my dentist, anybody - I think, If we were the last two people on Earth, would I puke if he kissed me?
Tailor: You move, you bleed...
Lynne: Eat flame, Bozo!
(Being told to tell about herself and her interests) Janey: Army bases are pretty dead, unless you're in the Army. So I always had a lot of time to daydream, and my daydream was always the same - that some day, I was going to get to Chicago, because that's where they make Dance TV. Janey: I love to dance!
Lynne: ... So I said, 'Sister, please, anyone could have confused 'Hail Mary' with 'Proud Mary' and besides, I do a very good Tina Turner!'
(Lynne steps up to get her contestant number for the DTV audition) Lynne: Hi, I'm Lynne Stone. My lucky number is twenty-one. Lady handing out numbers: Uhuh. Next. (Lady hands her # 87) Lynne: (to Janey) I have a real way with authority figures.
Ira: Oh, I like this. Sort of Rebel Without a Cause meets Sound of Music... you're taking a fashion risk. I like that. Just don't do it on camera!
Lynne: You know what's better than getting mad? Getting even.
Lynne: Daaaaay-o! Day you say day you say da-a-ay-o! Choir Sister: Miss. Stone, there is a time and a place for calypso music!
Rikki: I lifted the music news to the level of art and you are treating me like cattle! Ira: Moo! Okay? Moo! Rikki: I quit! Ira: Great... not great...
DTV Host: Live, from Chicago: America's number one dance show, Dance TV, is on the air!
