Lori Singer: Ariel

Footloose

Ariel

Ariel: Do you wanna kiss me?
Ren: Someday.
Ariel: [Gets in Ren's car] What's this "someday" shit?
Ren: Well, it's just I get the feeling you've been kissed a lot, and I'm afraid I'd suffer by comparison.

Reverend Shaw Moore: Were you drinking?
Ariel: No.
Reverend Shaw Moore: Smoking something?
Ariel: No! I wasn't stealing, I wasn't gambling, I wasn't dancing, I wasn't reading books I'm not supposed to! I am late!
Reverend Shaw Moore: Who were you with?
Ariel: Ren McCormick.
Reverend Shaw Moore: I don't want you to see him anymore.
Ariel: Why not?
Reverend Shaw Moore: Because I've heard he's a troublemaker.
Ariel: Just because he hasn't lived in this town for 20 years doesn't make him a troublemaker!
Reverend Shaw Moore: Ariel, I don't know what I'm going to do with you.
Ariel: There ain't nothing to *do* with me, Daddy. You like it or not, this is it. It doesn't get much better.

Ariel: I'm no saint you know. I'm not even a virgin.
Reverend Shaw Moore: Don't you talk like that here!
Ariel: Why not? Isn't this where I'm supposed to come to confess my sins to my preacher? In CHURCH! I ask to be forgiven! Am I?

Ariel: How come you don't like me?
Ren: What makes you think that I don't like you?
Ariel: You never talk to me at school. You never *look* at me!
Ren: Yeah, well maybe that's because if I did, your boyfriend would remove my lungs with a spoon.

Ariel: [to her father, the town preacher] I just don't know that I believe in everything you believe in. But I believe in you.

Ariel: [Shaw is busily typing in his den, Ariel is in the next room over, studying... Shaw is playing classical music in the background] Daddy? I don't know what came over me.
Reverend Shaw Moore: You know I can't always be with you, Ariel. I can't always look out for you.
Ariel: [getting up and walking to the den] What's the music?
Reverend Shaw Moore: [preoccupied] Oh, it's uh, I think it's Haydn. A chamber piece.
Ariel: And that kind of music is OK?
Reverend Shaw Moore: [somewhat defensive] Well, it's uplifting... it doesn't confuse people's minds and bodies.
Ariel: I don't...
Reverend Shaw Moore: [annoyed] What?
Ariel: I see.
Reverend Shaw Moore: [he calls out to her after she leaves the room] Listen, could you tell your mother to go on to bed? I still have a lot of work to do down here.
Ariel: I will.
[she re-enters the den]
Ariel: Daddy?
Reverend Shaw Moore: [not looking up] What is it?
Ariel: [disheartened] Good night.
Reverend Shaw Moore: Good night, honey.

Ariel: Hey, Ren! When this hat flies in the air, you better have your butt in gear.

Ariel: [Chuck mimics a fire engine's siren and grabs Ariel around the waist; she laughs] You'd never guess your daddy's a fire chief!
Chuck: You'd never guess your daddy's a minister, with them red boots.
Ariel: My daddy *hates* me wearing these boots.
Chuck: And you love that, don't ya?

Rusty: [reporting back on Ren] Okay, he hasn't dated since he's been in town, and late Friday nights...
Ariel: Yeah?
Rusty: ...by the light of the full moon... he, uh... breaks into churchyards and bites the heads off live chickens.
