Vivian: Oh, Philip, I had the greatest day, thanks to you. That party really helped me put things in perspective. Last night I realized that my career has gotten in the way of the thing that's the most important to me.
Philip: Oh, that's wonderful, honey. Well, I hope you know I'm behind you, whether you want to be a professor or a loving wife who devotes her day to supporting her hardworking husband and keeping an immaculate home.
Vivian: Oh, I'm glad. Because I've made a decision.
Philip: You're gonna vacuum in that?
Vivian: No! I'm gonna dance.

Dancer #1: The Israeli folk-dancing class is down the hall.
Vivian: Is this Advanced Jazz?
Dancer #1: Yes.
Vivian: Then I'm in the right place.
Dancer #1: So, anyway, last summer I was in A Chorus Line and Oklahoma.
Dancer #2: Really? I was in West Side Story, Gypsy, and My Fair Lady.
Dancer #1: Really?
Vivian: Actually, the last thing I was in was the supermarket. [laughs]

Will: I guess you could say, you know, I'm into all type of artistic endeavors, you know? I like dance, the theater, opera. I'm a pretty cultured brother. [The dancer turns around to face Will with her leg in the air] Wow, just like that, huh?

Ashley: So, Mom, how was dance class?
Will: It was like heaven. Except the angels was doing splits.
Vivian: It was hell on earth.

Philip: So, how was dance class?
Vivian: Great!
Philip: Mmm-hmm. You know, Vivian, maybe you jumped into this too fast. You might just need to relax. And I have just the thing. Two first-class tickets to Hawaii!
Vivian: Philip, how could you?
Philip: Huh? I just thought you might want to take it easy.
Vivian: Easy? Easy? Philip, I took it easy 20 years ago when I got that teaching degree. I don't want to take the comfortable road anymore.
Will: And you shouldn't have to. Hand over the keys to your Benz.
Vivian: No one is going to stop me from being a dancer. Now, there's an audition in three weeks, and I am going to take every class I can. I'm gonna show the world that Vivian Banks can dance. [limps away]

Will: You know, Uncle Phil most husbands wouldn't want their wives running off half naked to a bunch of bulging, masculine dancers that's gonna be grabbing them and lifting them in places their husbands forgot existed. I guess that's what trust in a marriage is all about.
Philip: Thank you, Will. Vivian!

Dancer #1: Excuse me. There's an audition here today.
Vivian: I know.
Dancer #2: Auditions usually require dance training. You haven't been to any classes.
Dancer #1: Unless you count Lamaze.
Vivian: Well, actually, I've been taking private instruction with Natalia Broshkova.
Dancer #2: The dancer?
Vivian: No, the obstetrician.
