A scene from Dirty Dancing 1987
Neil Kellerman

Johnny, my grandfather put me in charge of the final show. I want talk to you about the last dance. I'd like to shape things up a bit. You know move with the times.

Johnny Castle

Yeah, I've got a lot of ideas. I've been working with the staff kids on this between the Cuban rhythm and soul dancing.

Neil Kellerman

Whoa, boy. You're just way over your head here. Now, I thought you always do the mambo, huh? Why not dance this year's final dance... to the pachenga?

Johnny Castle

Right.

Neil Kellerman

Well, you're free to do the same, tired number as last year if you want, but next year, we'll find another dance person who'll only be too happy--

Johnny Castle

Sure, Neil, no problem. We'll end the season with the pachenga. Great idea.

Neil Kellerman

[to Baby]

Sometimes he's hard to talk to, but the ladies seem to like him. See that he gives you the full half-hour you're paying him for, kid.
