Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Boy, when I woke up this morning, I had no idea I'd be spending the night in New York. I can't believe Kristy has her own apartment.
Bernice, the Waitress : Hey, listen. You don't wanna go anywhere with that one.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : Why not? She's terrific, and so is her friend, Mike.
Bernice, the Waitress : Don't you know what they are? Don't you see what's going on? Come on kid, open your eyes.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : They've been very nice to me.
Bernice, the Waitress : Hey listen. Those two *nice* people are gonna take you to a *nice* apartment, give you a *nice* warm drink, and you're gonna wake up three days later.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : I don't understand. They were so nice...
Bernice, the Waitress : [interrupted by Mike answering a pay phone] Do you wanna be for sale? Like Kristy?
Bernice, the Waitress : [they watch as a girl comes in and hands Mike cash, then turns to Tootie with genuine concern] Go home.

Kristy : You know, I just had a great idea.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : What?
Kristy : Well, as long as you're already in trouble,
[smiles]
Kristy : why not make the most of it?
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : What do you mean?
Kristy : [nods] Stay here with me for the weekend. I've got my own place,
[waitress Bernice looks at them skeptically]
Kristy : we could have a blast!
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [chuckles] No, no, I couldn't...
Kristy : Tootie, just think of it. A couple of days of freedom... If you wanna be an actress, you'll need new experiences. You've gotta get out there and live it!
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : We live it in Pigskills.
Kristy : But not like here. Face it, Tootie, this is where everything's happening.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : I know! But I've gotta...
Kristy : Practically *everyone* I know is an actor... or a producer... or an agent. I could take you round. Introduce you.
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [chuckles] You could?
Kristy : You bet!
Dorothy 'Tootie' Ramsey : [stars in her eyes] I've never spent an actual entire night in New York before...! Oh, it will be great! Now, I gotta call Mrs. Garrett, and tell her I'm okay. She'll panic if she doesn't hear from me.
[gets up]
Kristy : You could use the phone at my place.
[which is, of course, a very big lie]
