Quotes 

• Jeannie Miller : [Katey has found out that her family is leaving. She's struggling to comb through her wet hair]  Give me that comb. When you were little, you used to hide under the bed when I tried to comb out these knots. Katey, your father's been the only man in my life, so I don't know what it's like to say good-bye to someone. Saying good-bye to dancing, the other love of my life, broke my heart. Then you were born and then Susie, and I loved you both so much that I...

  Katey Miller : You're saying I'll get over it.

  Jeannie Miller : No, I'm not. No, I'm saying I know you're hurting.

  Katey Miller : Everything's such a mess.

  Jeannie Miller : You have a choice. You can do nothing; you can hide under the bed...

  Katey Miller : Or you can work through the knots.

• Katey Miller : I didn't do anything wrong.

  Bert Miller : You lied to us.

  Katey Miller : I know, and I'm sorry. But I knew you wouldn't let me try and...

  Jeannie Miller : Kiss a Cuban pool boy in front of everyone? You're damn straight we wouldn't!

  Katey Miller : That's not...

  Jeannie Miller : And why in the world would you wanna hurt James? I thought you liked him.

  Katey Miller : No, you liked him. Because he fits into your perfect country club world.

  Jeannie Miller : There's nothing wrong with that world.

  Katey Miller : No, but he couldn't keep his hands off *me*.

  Bert Miller : What? What happened?

  Katey Miller : No, nothing. Nothing happened. I'm fine.

  Bert Miller : Why didn't you tell us?

  Katey Miller : Because I didn't wanna mess up your job!

  Bert Miller : Katey, how could you think that my job would be more important than you?

  Katey Miller : I didn't wanna hurt you. I just wanted to help Javier, which is his name, by the way. Oh, God, I love dancing with him!

  Jeannie Miller : Oh, Katey. Did it ever occur to you that that boy might be using you?

  Katey Miller : What? No.

  Jeannie Miller : A nice American girl that might be his ticket out of here?

  Katey Miller : Please, no. That's not true.

  Jeannie Miller : You might love dancing with him, but there are more important factors here, like your family and your future!

  Katey Miller : Why does it have to be 'either/or'? Just because you gave up your passion, why should I?

  Jeannie Miller : [Smacks Katey across the face] 

• Jeannie Miller : For Heaven's sakes! Katey, why didn't you call me? For all I know, you could've been kidnapped by rebels.

  Katey Miller : It's not the rebels you should be worried about.

• Jeannie Miller : [Intercut with scenes of Javier and Katey dancing]  How's it going with James?

  Jeannie Miller : I got homework to do.

  Jeannie Miller : You know what, sweetie? I've been wanting to ask you if you have any questions or concerns, you know, about, about you and James. It's awkward to talk about, but it's important that you not let a boy pressure you. And even if you have certain feelings when you're with James, feelings that you aren't used to having, the decisions you make now, the choices you make could affect your whole life. Do you understand what I'm saying?

  Katey Miller : [Clearly thinking about Javier, and not James]  Mm-hmm.

  Jeannie Miller : You do? Oh, good.

  [Katey leaves] 

• Jeannie Miller : [the dance contest is starting]  Where's Katey?

  Susie Miller : Just wait.

• Jeannie Miller : Your father and I discussed it. And we think that you should do a double turn at the finals.

  Katey Miller : You liked the way I danced?

  Jeannie Miller : Katey, if you're asking me to approve of you and this boy, I can't. But the dancing... The dancing was incredible. I think I should take a little credit for that.

  Katey Miller : I think you should, too.

• Jeannie Miller : I really should be scolding you for keeping her out all hours.

  James Phelps : Don't worry, Ma'am. We've done nothing you'd disapprove of, I can promise you that.

• Jeannie Miller : They sure spiced up our old routine, huh?

  Bert Miller : I'll say. That wouldn't have gone over too well at Roseland, would it?

  Jeannie Miller : No.

• Katey Miller : You two aren't planning an arranged marriage, are you?

  Jeannie Miller : No, I should've thought of that.
