Strictly Ballroom - Confronting Fear and Courage in Life Choices
Fran:
What happened to a life lived in fear and all that stuff?
Scott:
Fran...
Fran:
You really are a gutless wonder!
Scott:
There's a reason for this.
Fran:
I don't want to hear!
Scott:
Listen to me!
Fran:
No!
Scott:
It's hard for me too, Fran.
Fran:
Hard? Hard? How hard do you think it's been for me? To get you to dance with me in the first place? Frangipannidellasqueegymop. Wash the coffee cups, Fran, how's your skin, Fran? Hard?
Scott:
You don't understand.
Fran:
I understand. You've got your Pan Pacifics to win, and I'm back in Beginners, where I belong.

Strictly Ballroom - Confronting Fear and Insecurity in Dance
Scott:
Look, a beginner has no right to approach an Open Amateur.
Fran:
Yeah, well an Open Amateur has no right to dance non-Federation steps, but you did, didn't you?
Scott:
But that's different.
Fran: [shouting]
How is it different? You're just like the rest of them! You think you're different, but you're not, because you're just, you're just really scared! You're really scared to give someone new a go, because you think, you know, they might just be better than you are! Well, you're just pathetic, and you're gutless. You're a gutless wonder! Vivir con miedo, es como vivir a medias!

Strictly Ballroom - Fear and Ambition in Dance
Fran:
A life lived in fear is a life half lived.
Barry Fife: [referring to Ken Railings]
Let's not forget, Les, that a Pan Pacific Champion becomes a hero, a guiding light to all dancers, someone who'll set the right example.
Barry Fife:
If you can't dance a step, you can't teach it, and if you can't teach it - we might as well all pack up and go home. With young Liz available again, you've got a chance to get your status quo vadis back... so to speak.
