• Kelly : What kind of names are Ozone and Turbo?

  Turbo : The kind of names that only a few people are allowed to call us by.

• Kelly : Hi. Hope you didn't come here to eat.

  Adam : Oh no way. I respect my body.

• Kelly : This isn't worth it. Blonde, brunette. If they're looking for hair why don't they look at gorillas?

• Ozone : She was good.

  Kelly : I'm better.

• Ozone : Yeah? How?

  Kelly : You can teach me.

  Turbo : We're asking for trouble.

  [Kelly steps out in her dance outfit] 

  Turbo : Man, now I know we're in trouble!

• Kelly : I'm just ready for a change. I feel my life getting stale.

  Joe the Cook : Stale? Like that hamburger if the customer doesn't get it.

• Kelly : What do they want?

  James : I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want kids in t-shirts that are torn, and bandanas and spiked bracelets.

• Ozone : Hey, that dance is fresh!

  Kelly : It's what?

  Turbo : It's bad! Whoa! Whoa!

• Franco : You're looking better. You still gotta learn how to relax, though.

  Kelly : I'll work at it.

  Franco : Loosen up. Let the music caress you.

• Franco : You know, those street kids don't know what it takes.

  Kelly : They're very talented. You really should see them dance.

  Franco : It takes more than talent. You gotta be tough. Now, you, you've got the talent.

  [takes Kelly out on the dance floor] 

  Franco : Head up. Caress me. With passion... Dance. Dance! Across the the floor! That's it. That's it. Now, now jump. Come on, fly! Fly! Feel it! Cut. That's it. Now, you've got it. Alright. Over here. Over here! More emotion. To the mirror! Feel it! Alright, now, turn around!

• Kelly : You know why everybody's afraid? It's because they don't understand it. It's not just kids dancing on a street corner for a nickel! They put more heart and soul into their work than any dancer I know! James, it's real! It's fresh!

• Waiter : Alright, now. Let me get this straight. Humor me. You want me - to put you and your - street dancing friends on the same stage as trained, professional dancers?

  Kelly : Well, come see for yourself then. We're goin' agains Electro Rock tonight.

  Waiter : Electro? What?

  Kelly : Electro Rock. We got a score to settle. This time we're gonna cut 'em bad.

  Waiter : Well, you've, eh, you really talkin' like a street person. You, eh, packin' a blade?

  Kelly : Yeah.

• Kelly : You had no right to talk to him that way.

  Franco : I'm just telling it like it is. Face it, Kelly, they're a different class of people. They don't fit.

• Kelly : You know what your problem is? You're problem is you!
