• Jackie Burdette : I said I'm okay when I'm okay and, ah... I'm okay when I'm not okay. Okay? Okay?

• K.C. Carr : ['spontaneous' argument for the climactic match race showdown]  Listen, this is a washed-up old bitch who can't even skate anymore, she trips over her own feet!

  Jackie Burdette : All because I'm being sick and tired of you being a glory hustler even on your own team. If KC Carr thinks she's so darn cute, I wonder how cute she'd be in a match race.

  K.C. Carr : Yeah, oh listen to her, a match race, you must be joking! Man, a match race means nothing. I could beat you hands down, but if that's what you want...

  Trainer Vivien : Come on, KC

  K.C. Carr : - you can have it.

  Jackie Burdette : Yeah, that's right...

  Trainer Vivien : Cut it out!

  K.C. Carr : We'll just have a match race right here, man, and we're gonna find out who's gonna leave Portland forever!

  Jackie Burdette : Anytime, anyplace, sugarpuss, I can tell you right now KC Carr had better start packing all her bras...

  Trainer Vivien : Oh come on...

  K.C. Carr : Honey, at least I got bras and not egg-cups. Your boyfriend complaining?

  [often mis-heard and incorrectly noted in subtitles as "A cups"] 

  Trainer Vivien : Oh come on, you're both...

  Jackie Burdette : No holds barred -

  [both girls talking over each other, unintelligible] 

  K.C. Carr : Oh boy, you're a bigmouth. How about right now?

  Jackie Burdette : Sure, come on!

  [KC socks JB on the jaw, surprising her] 

  Trainer Vivien : KC, cut it out!

  Jackie Burdette : One more time, let's see you do it again!

  K.C. Carr : Sure, baby!

  [kicks at Jackie] 

  Trainer Vivien : Cut it out! Alright, do you wanna fight?

  K.C. Carr : Yeah!

  Trainer Vivien : All right!

  [walks away, done with it] 

  K.C. Carr : I've been telling you that!

• Jackie Burdette : The hell with the fixed bus. The hell with the broken bus. The hell with everybody on it and screw you!

• Jackie Burdette : I'm not gonna pussyfoot around. I'm talking about you pussyfooting, if you follow me. That's very talented, K.C. Especially when you unlace your skates off and go pussyfooting where it really pays off. That's some talent!

• Jackie Burdette : Stop followin' me, would you? Just leave me alone. You make me very nervous. I don't know whether I'm gonna turn around and not find myself there.
