Movie Quote Quiz

Fran: A life lived in fear is a life half lived.

Ya Ya: Listen to the rhythm. Don't be scared.

Liz: Where the man goes, the lady must follow.

Barry Fife: If you can't dance a step, you can't teach it, and if you can't teach it - we might as well all pack up and go home. With young Liz available again, you've got a chance to get your status quo vadis back... so to speak.

Barry Fife: Where do you think we'd be if everyone went around making up their own steps?
Scott: Out of a job.

Doug Hastings: Hard to get the films these days... it's all video, video.

Wayne: What's wrong with you?
Scott: That's what I've been trying to find out for the last three weeks, Wayne! What is wrong with me? What is so wrong with the way I dance?

Doug Hastings: We had the chance but we were scared. We walked away. WE lived OUR lives in fear.

Liz: I knew you'd come to your senses.

Scott: I'm just asking you what you think of the steps.
Liz: I don't think! I don't give a shit about them, we lost.
