Mr. Bennett
- [first lines]
- Mr. Bennett: Well, Kelly, now that you've left your life in the theater, maybe you'd like to reconsider my offer of four years at Princeton.
- Kelly: I haven't quit, Dad. I'm just takin' a break. I told you a million times: dance is my life.
- Mr. Bennett: What about that young friend of yours? That lawyer? What was his name? Derek? You wanted to marry him. Why'd you break up with him?
- Kelly: Derek's a nerd. And you're the one that liked him, not me.
- Mrs. Bennett: Well, at least she's not spending time with those street people anymore, darling.
- Strobe: Electros rule the dance floor now, sucka! Why don't you get back to your social club - and go play with your babies.
- Mr. Bennett: Come on, you guys, let's turn these fools out!
- Strobe: What'd you do? Did you bring your Mama along to wipe your nose?
- Turbo: [lurches forward] Who's...
- Ozone: Stand back and be cool! Listen, we're not gonna waste any of our moves - and we sure not gonna dance with punks!
- Mr. Bennett: What's this Stanley tells me about our daughter dancing in Paris?
- Mrs. Bennett: Darling, she doesn't even have the job yet.
- Mr. Bennett: And I also understand that she's been back in the streets with that - Bozo - or Turbine - or whatever the hell their names are!
- Mr. Bennett: Oh, I see. You're here for money! Well, I know what you people do with money. You mismanage it! You spend it on drugs, fancy clothes, and cars.
- Kelly: Dad!
- Mr. Bennett: I don't see any point in throwing good money after bad.
- Ozone: Come on, Turbo. We don't need you're help. We can take care of our own.
- Mr. Bennett: Wise up. You're pride can't afford to turn down an offer like this.
- Ozone: And what do you know about pride? Pride's more important to our kids than your money will evah be. Nobody - is gonna tell me to lay down my pride!
