• Sheila : I have a daughter. She's nine. She loves me a lot, hates me a lot. And, uh, God help her, she wants to be a dancer.

  Diana : What's so wrong about that? How can anybody in their right mind want to be anything else? I remember I used to stand outside this stage door, and watch the girls come out, and think: "God, can anything like that ever happen to me?" But now I meet somebody, and they say: "Wow, you dance on Broadway? You got somewhere. You're something."

• Sheila : Sounds like God got out the wrong side of the bed.

  Bobby : I hate these auditions. I don't mind being treated like puppets, but worms?

  Sheila : Or merchandise? Personally, I wouldn't mind him being such a shit if he wasn't so goddamned talented.
