Dirty Dancing Love Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Dirty Dancing.

Quote #1

RADIO: Hi, everybody. This is your cousin Brucie. Whoa! Our summer romances are in full bloom, and everybody, but everybody's in love!

Everybody's in love is great foreshadowing for the love story this movie becomes. But we also want to mention for your cultural edification that "Cousin Brucie" is a real-life radio legend who once introduced the Beatles. His inclusion in this film brings back memories to many viewers of a summer of love.

Quote #2

PENNY: Okay, ladies, when I stay "stop" you're gonna find the man of your dreams.

Here's another bit of foreshadowing. Penny's of course exaggerating here; we doubt Baby falls in love with old Mrs. Schumacher as the "man" of her dreams. But she'll fall for another dance partner soon enough.

Quote #3

JAKE: You always said you could tell me anything.

BABY: I can't tell you this.

Dirty Dancing isn't just about the love between Baby and Johnny. It's also about the love between Baby and her father, and this summer tests the love between them.
