Save the Last Dance
2001
Sara: You know Snook, you talk a lot of shit for someone who never says anything.
Sara: You know what? Derek and I like each other and if you have a problem with that, then screw you.
(after Sara and Nikki's fight) Nikki: It ain't over, bitch. Sara: I don't even know why it started, bitch.
(about Malakai) Sara: So you're not down with the things he does, but you're still down with him? That makes perfect sense. I understand. Derek: He's my friend, Sara. You don't have to understand.
Derek: You can do it. Sara, you were born to do it.
Chenille: And this is Diggy. She thinks she's down. Diggy: Excuse me? I am down, okay?
Derek: "Stepps" ain't no square dance. Sara: That's ok, I'll dance in circles, probably around you.
Sara: There's only one world, Chenille. Chenille: That's what they teach you. We know different.
Chenille: They call him Snooky because Fool was taken.
Chenille: Too many little boys thinkin' they thugs.
Snookie: They call me Snook, the coochie crook.
Sara: Screw you, I'm brilliant and cool. Derek: You're not quite there yet.
Sara: A lot of people read them. Derek: People like who? Like you? (pause) Didn't think so.
Sara: I am such a dork!
Chenille: You can't help who you love, Derek, you're not supposed to.
Chenille: You need to take off that 5th grade dance lookin' top. Sara: Its from The Gap! Chenille: Its country and you look country in it!
Malakai: I'm not you, Derek. I can't do nothin' but what I'm doin'. I can't go to Georgetown with a 10.0 GPA, operatin' on people, doin' brain surgery or whatever the Hell you're goin' to be doin'.
Sara: We spend more time defending our relationship than actually having one.
Derek: Ain't nobody watchin' you but me.
Chenille: Quit it Nikki. Nikki: Excuse me, I ain't walkin on egg shells just cause you brought the Brady Bunch to the negro club.
Derek: Come on, act like you a nasty bitch.
Sara: Asshole. Chenille: Who? Because in this crowd you're going to have to be a bit more specific.
Derek: Let's put some S-E-X in those H-I-Ps!
Sara: Then you must be in the wrong spot because I'm pretty sure there aren't any Negroes here. Chenille: Ooh!
Snookie: I'm free Saturday night. Chenille: Why, is your hand busy?
(Chenille picks up Sara's backpack off the ground and Sara turns around, confused) Chenille: That's how easy it is to give to charity around here. Don't put your shit on the floor.
Derek: Do you get along with your dad? You tight and shit? Sara: Yeah, we're "tight and shit"; our DNA matches.
Chenille: I saw you workin' it out there tonight, girl! Sara: Oh, yeah... slammin'! Chenille: Ah-huh! Later!
Derek: Yeah but six months here gotta be better than six up the juvie. Malakai: Yeah, they got girls in here.
Kenny: How you doin'? Chenille: Why don't you ask how your son is doing? That's a line you haven't tried in a while. Kenny: Why you always gotta jump off on me like that? Chenille: Why you gotta be like you are? Kenny: Ah, come on, you know you wanna dance with me. That's what you came here for, to yell at me, and to dance with me.
Kenny: Don't blame me, I didn't want any of this! Chenille: What? 'Cause I did? I climbed on top of myself and got myself pregnant?
Sara: (when talking to dad) It's not that I hate you, it's just that I miss her.
Sara: (sobbing) I just want someone there who loves me. Roy Johnson: (looks up) I love you.
