Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is vastly different from her own. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner. She then fills in as Johnny's dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life.

And he said to her,

""What does he have that I don't have?""

And she said, ""Two hotels.""

Robbie.

I don't hear an apology.

Go back to Mommy and Daddy and listen.

Maybe you'll hear one in your dreams.

I'm sorry you had

to see that, Baby.

Sometimes in this world...

you see things

you don't wanna see.

You hungry?

Come on.

So, Baby, what do you want?

You can have anything you want.

A brownie, some milk...

Ieftover rice pudding,

beets...

cabbage roll...

fruit salad, sweet gherkins?

Neil, look, I'm sorry.

I better go check on Lisa.

Yeah.

- Why's she here?

- In case Neil comes back.

Penny just doesn't think.

She wouldn't do anything

stupid, would she?

So, what's wrong?

What's the matter with her?

- She's knocked up, Baby.

- Billy!

- What's he gonna do about it?

- ""What's he gonna do about it?""

It's mine, right?

- Right away you think it's mine.

- But I thought...

It's okay. Johnny's here.

I'm never gonna let anything

happen to you.

We got to go.

Just hold on. Just hold on.

Good girl. Good girl.

What do you think you're doing?

You're in trouble, you talk to me.

I'll take care of it.

You should've come to me

in the first place.

Forget it, Johnny. I'm not taking

what's left of your salary.

- Penny, that's my business.

- Besides, it wouldn't be enough.

Oh, God, it's hopeless!

Don't say that.

There's gotta be a way

to work it out.

Baby? Is that your name?

You know what, Baby?

You don't know sh*t

about my problems.

I told her.

Jesus! She's gonna tell her management

boyfriend and then we'll all get fired.

Why not skywrite it? ""Penny got

knocked up by Robbie, the creep.""

- Look--

- No, Baby.

One of the counselors

knows a doctor, a real M.D....

just traveling through New Paltz

one day next week.

We can get an appointment,

but it costs $250.

But if it's Robbie, there's no problem.

I know he has the money.

- I'm sure if you tell him--

- He knows.

Go back to your playpen, Baby.

- Why should you tell me what's right?

- You can't just leave her.

- Why should you tell me what's right?

- You can't just leave her.

I didn't blow a summer hauling bagels

just to bail out some chick...

who probably slept

with every guy here.

A little precision, please.

Some people count

and some people don't.

Read it.

I think you'll enjoy it. But return it.

I have notes in there.

You make me sick.

Stay away from me.

Stay away from my sister

or I'll have you fired.

What am I doing wrong?

You're lining it up

a little wrong, Marge.

If your mother ever leaves me,

it'll be for Arnold Palmer.

- Daddy, someone's in trouble.

- Besides your mother?

You're overcorrecting, Marge.

You always told me if someone
