Directed by: Emile Ardolino
Starring: Patrick Swayze, Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, Jennifer Grey
Continuity mistake: In the last dance scene, Patrick Swayze jumps down from the stage and starts dancing. He goes down on his knees and when he lifts one knee, it is extremely dusty, however when he stands up his knees are completely clean. (01:33:00)
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 famous scene where Johnny and Baby crawl towards each other on the floor, Swayze and Grey were messing around while warming up to do the real scene, but the director liked it so much he kept it in the film.

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.
