- Quotes
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: [after she is brought home by a policeman and Doug is ready to punish her] Go ahead, say it. You told me I wasn't old enough to take care of myself and I wouldn't listen. So, look what happened.
Kate Lawrence: I didn't hear him say a word.
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Well, he doesn't have to, because none of it was my fault. I didn't do a thing.
Doug Lawrence: According to the police, that's not altogether true.
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Daddy, Julie was doing all the driving. Now, how was I supposed to know that a twenty-one year old would be so irresponsible?
Doug Lawrence: No good. First, you meant to be treated as a grown-up, then you blame an older girl for being irresponsible. In any case, you will be held accountable for your actions!
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: [heads to go upstairs] I'm tired.
Kate Lawrence: Buddy...
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: Just ground me for the rest of my life! I don't care!
Doug Lawrence: Does that mean you don't want to be trusted?
Letitia 'Buddy' Lawrence: I just want to go to bed.
[heads upstairs]
Doug Lawrence: The girl's asking to be spanked.
Kate Lawrence: I think she's asking to be left alone. I don't think you could punish her anymore than she's punishing herself.
[Willie comes into the house]
Willie Lawrence: I saw the police car. Is she all right?
Doug Lawrence: Well, she's in one piece, if that's what you mean. I think she's a long way from all right.

Buddy is suddenly all about dancing, and we are meant to believe she is good enough to be in a movie. Her new friend takes her to a club where they perform the jaw dropping Dish Towel Dance, which enflames the passions of the creepy dude who can supposedly get her a part. It all goes downhill from there, but you'll have to watch it yourself for the thrilling conclusion.
