“Head up. Caress me. With passion... dance. Dance! Across the the floor! That's it. That's it. Now, now jump. Come on, fly! Fly! Feel it! Cut. That's it. Now, you've got it. Alright. Over here. Over here! More emotion. To the mirror! Feel it! Alright, now, turn around!”

“You know why everybody's afraid? It's because they don't understand it. It's not just kids dancing on a street corner for a nickel! They put more heart and soul into their work than any dancer I know! James, it's real! It's fresh!”

“I've dragged myself through the blood and sand of a thousand arenas. In the end there's only one thing I regret - I never learned to read or write. I was obliged to renounce education... but I make the whole world responsible for my ignorance.”

John Carradine - El Nacional

“We both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.”

Humphrey Bogart - Rick Blaine
