A scene from Dirty Dancing 1987
Frances "Baby" Houseman

Have you had many women?

Johnny Castle

What? [laughs]

Frances "Baby" Houseman

Have you had many women?

Johnny Castle

Come on, Baby.

Frances "Baby" Houseman

Come on. I want to know.

Johnny Castle

No, no. [jumps out of bed and Baby smiles at him] Look, you've gotta understand what it's like baby, you come from the streets and suddenly you're up here, and these women are throwing themselves at ya, and they smell so good, and they really take care of themselves, [getting dressed] I mean I never knew women could be like that, you know? And they're so rich, they're so goddamn rich, you think they must know about everything. And they're slipping their room keys in my hands, two and three times day, different women. So here I think I'm scoring big and for a while you think, hey, they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't care about me, right?

Frances "Baby" Houseman

That's alright, I understand. You were just using them, that's all. [looks depressed]

Johnny Castle

No, no, that's not it. That's the thing, see, Baby, it wasn't like that, they were using me.

Johnny Castle

[Baby kisses Johnny and they fall back on to their bed]

What's your real name, Baby?

Frances "Baby" Houseman

Frances. For the first woman in the cabinet. [laughs]

Johnny Castle

Frances. That's a real grown up name.
