Runaway (1982)

Tammy Lauren: Kristy

Quotes 

• Kristy : [trying to sound casual about all this]  Mike, uh, I think this kid's a dead end. I mean, she still watches Saturday morning cartoons.

  [Mike is unconvinced] 

  Kristy : But... but she's a sweet kid...! She's not like that.

  Mike : If I didn't know better, I'd think you were giving me a hard time, Kristi.

  Kristy : No. It's just that I don't think it will work.

  Mike : [hisses]  Make it work.

• 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]
