Directed by: Emile Ardolino
Starring: Patrick Swayze, Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, Jennifer Grey
Continuity mistake: In the last dance scene of the movie, Patrick Swayze jumps down from the stage and the hair on his forehead which was completely dry is suddenly very wet and plastered to his head. (01:32:30)
Baby: Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you.
Trivia: In the scene where Johnny and Baby practice dancing, and she keeps laughing when he runs his arm down hers, it was not part of the scene, she was actually laughing and his frustration was genuine. They left it in the movie because it was effective. Baby falling over in this scene was unplanned too.

Answer: The circumstances, the morality of that era. Having premarital sex, having casual sex, getting pregnant, having an abortion, and the guy refusing to acknowledge or even admit it was his. Baby didn't understand all that until it was explained to her.
