  • [last lines]
  • Tony Manero: Do you know what I wanna do? You know what I wanna do?
  • Jackie: What?
  • Tony Manero: Strut.
  • Tony Manero: You hear the way she talks? It's so intelligent, like I love it.
  • Jackie: An accent doesn't make someone intelligent, Tony. If it did, you'd be Einstein.
  • Tony Manero: I don't believe it! Did you see the way you said goodnight to him?
  • Jackie: [laughing] Oh god, how did I say it?
  • Tony Manero: It was sweet, it was like syrup. I-I-I had a cavity just listening to it.
  • Tony Manero: I didn't think you was the musician type, I-I-I never thought that.
  • Jackie: Oh come on Tony, you know he plays rhythm guitar at the club...
  • Tony Manero: [cutting her off] That guy plays rhythm guitar? Oh, that's the worst! That's the absolute worst. Everybody in the world you knows you can't trust a guy who plays rhythm guitar.
  • Jackie: [laughing] Oh god...
  • Tony Manero: Look, underneath them curls is a pervert, I can feel it.
  • Jackie: Look, if it happens, good. If it doesn't, it's not gonna bother me.
  • Tony Manero: How could you think that way?
  • Jackie: You know a woman's career as a dancer is half as long as a man's. So that means I have half as many chances as you do of making it. Right? I've gotta be real with myself.
  • Tony Manero: [motioning to Jackie, who leans back onto stage] I just wanted to tell you, if I don't see you again you got beautiful legs.
  • Jesse: [to the dancers] You gotta improvise...
  • Jackie: [giggling, to Tony] So do you.
  • Jesse: [to Jackie] Listen up! If you're finished dancing, move off stage!
  • Tony Manero: [whispering to Jackie] You're always causin' trouble, now get outta here.
  • Jackie: Come on, Tony. Don't play this competition thing with me.
  • Tony Manero: Oh, competition. Just because you're in a show and I'm not. That's a competition thing.
  • Jackie: Yeah.
  • Tony Manero: That ain't competition.
  • Jackie: Well, what is it?
  • Tony Manero: Envy.
  • Jackie: Look, if you're hot over somebody, I don't want to always hear about it.
  • Tony Manero: I just respect her dancin', that's all!
  • Jackie: [sarcastically] Yeah.
  • Jackie: [singing] You pulled it out, From under me, You bring me love, Now can't you see, You pulled it out, From under me...
  • Tony Manero: What can I say?
  • Jackie: No. No, you don't have to say anything.
  • Tony Manero: But now, don't say that. Because when you say that, I know that you want me to say somethin'.
  • Jackie: [singing] Watchin' all our dreams, Start to fade, Fadin' away, A moment gone, Is gone forever...
  • Jackie: I'll see you later.
  • Tony Manero: Don't go talkin' to strangers, now.
  • Jackie: Tony, nobody's stranger than you are.
