Off. Off. Off. Get off this fucking dance floor with your shitty dancing. Doing the steps? Any prick can do steps. That prick can do the steps. Where the fucking heart? What is that ? You don't know? Well in that case, why don't you piss off back to the bar, grab yourself a pint of bitter and watch like all the fucking losers? Leave this dance floor. Basic pace? Anyone knows the basic pace. That kid will also basic pace. Where is your heart? What? You do not know? Then why don't you roll aside, give yourself a bitter beer, and watch like those losers?

I was a dancer when I was a kid and I loved it and then this shit thing happened to me and everything hanged... until I met you and you inspired me, so I learnt to dance again. I relearnt all the old steps. I tracked down my old teacher, Ron Parfitt who is just a.. He is a horrible horrible human being. I shaved my chest. I went to some amazing clubs. I met some amazing people and now, finally I feel like me again, which is what I always wanted. You know? To...feel like myself. I was a dancer when I was little. I love to dance. Then something bad happened, and then everything changed. Until I met you. You inspired me. So I started to learn to dance again. I relearned the previous dance steps. I found my former dance teacher Ron Paffett. He is a very bad person (non-derogatory). I shaved my chest, went to some great clubs, and met some great people. Now, I finally feel that I am myself. This is what I always wanted. do you know? I feel...like myself.

Cuban Fury quotes

  • Bruce: What are you hiding?

    Bejan: Nothing.

    Bruce: [curious] What are you hiding?

    Bejan: Behold...

    [removes his hands from the salsa competition flyer on the bulletin board]

    Bejan: Santo Vito!

    Bruce: Yeah, what... it's just another salsa night. So what?

    Bejan: "So what"? Look at it, squashy chumps! It's a competition!

    [tones down his voice]

    Bejan: Sorry... Don't you see, this is your time, Bruce. This is the Goonie time. Do you know about the Goonie time?

    Bruce: Yeah, of course I know about the Goonie time. My watch runs on Goonie time.

    Bejan: So then you know, that it's *their* time up there, but it is *our* time down here. You can do this, Bruce. You can win this mother-funkie, and you can show the world what you're really made of. Think about it, what do you've got to lose?

  • [after Bruce has given an intensive performance during the half-final round of the dance competition]

    Bejan: You can win this, Bruce.

    Bruce: [panting] I haven't got much more left in me.

    Bejan: Have a...?

    Bruce: Huh?

    Bejan: [holds up a soft drink bottle with a straw in front of Bruce's face] Drinkie?

    Bruce: Nah, I don't wanna...

    Bejan: [insisting] Drinkie!

    [Bruce obediently takes some sips from the bottle]

    Bejan: Eye of the tiger, Bruce. Eye of the tiger!
