So many to chose from - "I carried a watermelon", "Nobody puts baby in the corner", and "She gets it from me"
Dirty Dancing is definitely in my list of top 5 movies of all time. I don't know if it's the good girl goes for the bad boy love story, the fact that my mother let me watch it on a daily basis beginning at the age of 8, or the sheer beauty of watching Patrick Swayze's back muscles shimmy and glisten with sweat during that dance practice scene with baby. I simply love the film and the 3 quotes above are all fantastic.
1. "I carried a watermelon" - love that baby just got so caught up in Johnny's gorgeousness that she froze and said that to the man of her dreams. Saying idiotic things is something I do often, so I relate.
2. "Nobody puts baby in the corner" - first, if you watch the film closely it's not even a corner she's sitting it. It's just a beam in the wall behind her. Plus, who says that to their lady's parents.
3. "She gets it from me" - also from that final dance scene, but it's during Johnny and Baby's final dance and they pan to the mom and her reaction is she gets it from me....classic. My mother adores this quote because I think she also likes to take credit for both my sister and my impressive skills.
Overall, "Dirty Dancing" is a classic and if you are a girl and haven't seen it over 10 times and can't quote nearly the entire movie....you pretty much suck.
