Do I have to tell you what that’s from? Just that line elicits so many emotions and memories, well, for me it does.
I almost didn’t say anything in the post, let the quote speak for itself, but on the other hand, so much to say!
I still remember my mom taking me to see it in the theater, I was sixteen, which means drooling over Patrick Swayze!
Isn’t it amazing how one line can bring so much to mind from any one movie. “I carried a watermelon”…”I carried a watermelon?”
“This is my dance space…This is your dance space”
“Johnny: What’s your real name, Baby?
Baby: Frances. For the first woman in the Cabinet.
[laughs]
Johnny: Frances. That’s a real grown up name.”
What else can I say? We all want the bad boy to take an interest, see us and leave his hot model girlfriend, I know Penny wasn’t his girlfriend, just the thoughts that go through our minds. We want Johnny to stick up for us, teach us stuff, get into fights for and over us, stand up to our dad’s for us, make us feel special and safe and laugh and experience life and become a woman and so much more.
Oh wow, how much like a teenager do I sound right now? Ah, who cares, it was Dirty Dancing and I wanted Johnny to pull me out of a corner and dance with me in front of everyone and do the lift and dance in the water and have secret moments with and see him give Mr Shumaker back his money because he was in la la land over me.
Sigh…now I’m just dreaming. Enjoy your daydreams, may they be filled with music, laughter and Patrick Swayze.
