A Chorus Line quotes

Page 1 of 2
Greg

Finally I got a girl who was actually willing to do it. So, there I am, making out in the backseat with Sally Ketchum. A little of this, a little of that - very little of that. Well, after about an hour she said, "Don't you want to do anything else?" I suddenly thought to myself, "No, I don't."

Did this come as a big surprise to you?

Greg

I guess. Yeah. It was the moment I realized I was gay.

I have a daughter. She's nine. She loves me a lot, hates me a lot. And, uh, God help her, she wants to be a dancer.

Diana

What's so wrong about that? How can anybody in their right mind want to be anything else? I remember I used to stand outside this stage door, and watch the girls come out, and think: "God, can anything like that ever happen to me?" But now I meet somebody, and they say: "Wow, you dance on Broadway? You got somewhere. You're something."

Sounds like God got out the wrong side of the bed.

Bobby

I hate these auditions. I don't mind being treated like puppets, but worms?

Or merchandise? Personally, I wouldn't mind him being such a shit if he wasn't so goddamned talented.

What made you start dancing?

Mike Cass

Because of my sister. She was a girl. So, my Mom decided she's the one to get all the dancing lessons. So, very Saturday my mother would take her. Once in a while she'd take me along.

How old were you?

Mike Cass

Four. Five. I'd sit there all eager and... [singing] I'm watchin' sis, go pitter-pat, Said, "I can do that", "I can do that"...

Connie Wong. Always Wong, never Wight.

[Zach looks up]

Bad joke. I was born in Chinatown, lower east side.

How old are you?

I was born December 5th, four thousand six hundred and forty two, the Year of the Chicken.

Tell You about the Bronx.

Diana

What's to tell about the Bronx? It's uptown and to the right.

What made you start dancing?

Diana

Who knows? I'm Puerto Rican. We jump around a lot.

[singing]

Who am I anyway? Am I my resume? That is a picture of a person I don't know, What does he want from me? What should I try to be? So many faces all around and here we go, I need this job, Oh God, I need this show.

Do you want to know all the wonderful and exciting things that've happened to me? Or do you want the truth?
