Movie Quote Quiz

Pierre Dulaine: To do something, anything, is hard. It's much easier to blame your father, your mother, the environment, the government, the lack of money, but even if you find a place to assign the blame, it doesn't make the problems go away.

Pierre Dulaine: I understand six languages and I speak five - all with a Spanish accent.

Eddie: Check Mr Dulaine! He's just gettin' his flirt on.

Ramos: Dance to this.

Ramos: I'm so fly I can make anyone look good.

Ramos: What? ¿Tu no sabes? I can shake it.
Pierre Dulaine: Then I suggest you shake it with the partner that I assigned you.

Pierre Dulaine: I want to teach your kids to dance.
Principal Augustine James: If theres' one thing they can do, it's dance.
Pierre Dulaine: Ballroom dance? Waltz, the foxtrot?
Principal Augustine James: Ok, where's the camera? Because if you're saying that you want to teach my kids the foxtrot I have to be on TV.

Pierre Dulaine: What if I said these dances would make you look cool?
Rock: I'd say you're full of shit.

LaRhette: You think you one of us now?
Caitlin: No.

Kurd: Why you gotta be such a ballroom weirdo?

Rock: Doctor's note. I can't dance, I have a heart condition.
Pierre Dulaine: Interesting man, your doctor. Not many doctors write notes on three-hole paper.

Morgan: I've never seen anyone move like that before.
Sasha: I'm sure.

Kurd: We don't need any more white bread tourists seeing how the other half lives. We don't.
Caitlin: White bread? Excuse me, do you own a mirror?

Caitlin: I'd kill to dance like that. It's like sex on hardwood.

Principal: For these kids life is a fight to stay alive, and a hustle to make ends meet.

Caitlin: Mr.Dulaine? Morgan says the kids you teach up town are a bunch of no-talent losers.
Pierre Dulaine: You cannot always believe what Morgan says.
Caitlin: I would really like to join them.

Kurd: Check this out.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Dulaine forces Rock and LaRhette to dance the waltz together, he takes off his necktie and blindfolds LaRhette with it. Throughout the scene the blindfold is different nearly every time the camera angle changes - the "tail" created by the wide end of the tie gets longer and shorter, the knot alternately loosens and tightens and moves from side to side across the back of her head, and the whole thing slides up and down her nose. It's so distracting I spent the whole scene watching to see how it was going to move next.
