Dialogue

 * Laura: Oh, don't take it personally.
 * Tony Manero: I've got to, there's no one else in the room!


 * Tony Manero: Did you hear the way she talked? All intelligent like.
 * Jackie: Tony, an accent doesn't make you intelligent, if it did, you'd be Einstein.


 * Doorman: Are you expected?
 * Tony Manero: To do what?


 * Joy: Hello, I'm Joy...
 * Tony Manero: ...And I'm happiness.


 * Tony Manero: Last time I came over, I almost got brain damaged. You guys party too hard, you ought to be a tag team.


 * Jackie: You know a woman's career as a dancer is as half as long as a man's? So that means I have as half as many chances of making it, right?


 * Laura: Who do you think you're dealing with? Some little groupie who jumps when you call, is this who you think I am? We met, we made it, what do you think it was, true love? And you say I used you but what about you using me? Everybody uses everybody, don't they?


 * Tony Manero: Don't worry. She's in good hands.
 * Carl: And what are you, Allstate, pal?
 * Tony Manero: Yeah, you want disability?


 * Jessie: You wanna dance? You follow my rules! This is not a democracy! You know, you're not the greatest dancer ever to hit Broadway.


 * Tony Manero: Everybody uses everbody, don't they?
 * Jessie: Go to hell, Manero!


 * Mrs. Manero: I don't believe it and don't get fresh with me. This, this attitude you're talking about, that's what got you out of this damn neighborhood.


 * [last lines]
 * Tony Manero: You know what I wanna do?
 * Jackie: What?
 * Tony Manero: Strut.
