So You Think You Can Dance

Lauren Froderman:
[at the after-party of "Step Up 3d"] Did you steal any of the costumes?

Himself - Judge:
Yes.

Himself (Chu, John):
[about "Step Up 3D] In "Step Up 2" we had 60 dancers. In this one, we have over 250 dancers. It's like an army of dancers. We assault you, in your face, with dancers.

Ad?chik? Torbert:
[from contestant's montage] I'm crying like a pregnant woman.

Himself - Judge:
[to auditioning dancer] I was frightened to death of what else you were going to take off.

Himself - Judge:
[to auditioning dancer Faith Looney] You make dead people seem like party animals.

Himself - Judge:
[commenting on the panel of judges] TNT: Toni, Nigel and Tyce. What an explosive panel.

Himself (Bell, Billy):
[commenting on Toni Redpath's teaching style] Toni's kind of a Nazi Barbie.

Himself - Judge:
[to Adechike Torbert] How dare you deny us the beauty of that movement by being as silly as you've been.

Himself - Judge (Diorio, Tyce):
[to Nicole Knudson] It's the kind of talent that comes along every hundred years.

Himself (Koumaev, Ivan):
This is the meanest show ever.

Himself - Choreographer:
Dance, to me, is a way to get every emotion in your body out.

Herself - Choreographer:
Dance is everything to me. It's how I express who I am.

Herself - Choreographer:
Ballroom dance is about two people dancing together. It's very romantic.

Himself - Choreographer:
Did you know we were going to be reviewing the tapes from the show?

Himself - Contestant:
[cut to archive footage] Dan thinks I was cocky in class. You know, on one hand, he probably is just a little bit jealous. To me, he's not that good.

Himself - Choreographer:
[cut back] I'm a judge on the show. How smart is that?

Himself - Judge:
Chris; My granny is more gangsta than you.

Himself - Judge:
That's a hell of a large turkey for thanksgiving!

Herself - Judge:
Yabba Dabba Doo!

Herself - Judge:
Little Miss Pebbles.

Herself - Host:
I always knew we were the stronger sex.

Himself - Judge:
6 foot 3 musicality!

Herself - Host:
We have Adam Shankman in the house.

Himself - Judge:
[getting the empty chair named 'Paula Abdul'] Forever my girl.

Himself - Judge:
[about Nigel] Cause you are a cold-hearted snake!

Herself - Judge:
My hat off for you; My hat, my hair...

Himself - Judge:
Sonya, you rock my world!

Himself - Judge:
For those who know me, knows that's not my style...

Herself - Judge:
And his bags are packed!

Himself - Judge:
[after Adam comments about the train] Now i have two!

Himself - Judge:
She is, without a question, a vision!

Himself - Judge:
And Joshua, you *do* have the biggest bum in the competition!

Himself - Judge:
I've been in that situation Twitch; I had a woman banging on my door, but I wouldn't let her out, no matter how hard she bang, she wasn't leaving the room.

Herself - Judge:
I don't believe you just said that!

Himself - Judge:
I didn't mention your name.

Herself - Judge:
OK. Nigel, play along with me.

Himself - Judge:
That's what you said last time...

Herself - Judge:
[commenting on Alex Wong and Allison Holker's performance of Sonya Tayeh's choreography] The best, hands down, piece of work danced on the "So You Think You Can Dance" stage in the world, to date.

Himself - Judge:
[to Alex Wong] Sometimes we concentrate on the architecture of dance. We worry about lines. You certainly have got beautiful lines. And we concentrate on those and the structure of dance. And we forget the poetry of dance. And sometimes we forget *to* dance, because steps are in the way.

Herself - Dancer:
I know there will are going to be bumps, bruises, blood, maybe hospital visits.

Himself - Contestant:
I'm sorry Courtney. i won't drop you anymore. I promise.

Himself - Contestant:
[scenes of Robert continuing to drop Courtney] I killed an All-Star. Oh God.

Herself - Judge:
[commenting on Alex Wong's performance and Sonya Tayeh's choreography] Alex, you are perfection. You are sheer genius. Sonya, you are sheer genius.

Himself - Judge:
[commenting on Kent Boyd dancing with Anya Garnis] How many cougars do you have on the farm?

Himself - Contestant:
Not many.

Himself - Judge:
What was that like? You've got one now.

Himself (Jamile):
[about him and Destini dancing the Viennese Waltz] Two black folk folk coming together doing ballroom is a positive thing.

Herself - Judge (Mia Michaels):
[critiquing Allan and Melody's performance] It was beautifully awful and odd all at the same time.

Herself - Judge:
[talking about Melissa] Is she the oldest contestant?

Himself - Judge:
There's no need to be rude, Mary.

Herself - Judge:
You know what i'm saying!

Himself - Judge:
Does that mean that i get a break from you next week?

Herself - Judge:
NO! Pack down, you english muffin!

Randi Evans:
Does this mean that i'm pregnant now?

Herself - Host:
[to Tice] Come on, my little Brooklyn-brownie...

Himself - Judge:
[to the audience when they boo] Ah, shut up!

Herself - Host:
[making wrongfully assumptions about the music] Tom Cruise, Top Gun,All that jazz!

Herself - Host:
Me Tarzan, You Jane; Let's samba!

Himself - Judge:
[to Mary Murphy] If that train ain't coming, there's gonna be bloody trouble...

Himself (Lythgoe, Nigel):
We know that Dmitry is a magician. He's made two of his partners disappear since the beginning of the season.

Himself (Koumaev, Ivan):
I got a Mary scream. I'm honored.

Herself (Murphy, Mary (X)):
Allison, you are a hot tamale!

Himself (Schwimmer, Benji):
I'm a geek. So I have to tone down the geek and put up the chic.

Himself - Judge:
I love the way your knees were bent through the entire dance.

Himself - Guest Judge:
You are modifying your manipulations of movement...

Jessica Bernard:
Booty work? What's booty work?

Herself - Judge:
[critiquing Dmitry and Joy] Someone call the fire department. Call the fire department. These two were smokin'.

Himself - Judge:
[critiquing Martha and Travis] I think that you have just served notice that you could be the couple to beat in this competition.

Himself - Judge:
[about Benji's '2 Much Booty' hip-hop performance] Does your church know you dance like that?

Benji Schwimmer:
I hope they're not watching right now.

Herself - Host:
May the force be with you!

Brian Friedman:
[to Travis Wall and Benji Schwimmer after their hip-hop routine together] That was dork-tastic!

Brian Friedman:
[about the partnership of Benji Schwimmer and Heidi Groskreutz] I'm on the love boat.

Herself - Judge:
[to Benji Schwimmer] You've got it all. You have what it takes for success. You got backbone. You have wishbone. And you also have the funny-bone. And that's what everyone loves about you.

Herself - Guest Judge:
[to Donyelle Jones] I think you and I need to form a... big-butt dance coalition. [Donyelle shows off her butt] I'll be president and you be vice-president.

Herself - Guest Judge:
[to Benji Schwimmer after his hip-hop routine] I thought that was great. But Benji, I can't help but giggle when you come out in the hood. [cut to clip of Benji's gangsta face] It makes me laugh.

Herself - Guest Judge:
[commenting on Wade Robson's afro-pop choreography] The beauty of dance is there are no rules.

Herself - Guest Judge:
Are you two carpenters? Because, you nailed it!

Himself - Judge:
[about Alex Wong's injury] He was asked if it hurt and he said, only in his heart.

Herself- Judge:
[on Lauren Froderman's performance] Pure murder-ation.

Herself- Judge:
[to Billy Bell] You are fab-u-licious.

Herself- Judge:
[critiquing Ashley Galvan and Robert Roldan's quick-step performance] It wasn't the kiss of death. It was just a bad kiss. A really bad kiss.

Himself - Judge:
Small things can be big.

Herself- Judge:
What are you saying?

Himself - Judge:
[commenting on Lauren Froderman and Pasha Kovalev's Argentine tango performance] My eyes steamed up in the middle of it.

Himself - Judge:
Equality and decency was just restored to the state of California with the overturning of Proposition 8. So I'd like to take this opportunity to ask my colleague and friend, Nigel Lythgoe, to marry me. [laughter]

Herself - Host:
If you can't dance with Pasha [Kovalev] , maybe you could marry Adam?

Himself - Judge:
I would normally say no, but I've been a bit lonely.

Himself - Judge:
I really only noticed two lifts in there. And Doriana normally has got seven lifts in there.

Kent Boyd:
[stutters] But I'm just not big.

[everyone laughs]

Kent Boyd:
Yeah, I got her up there.

Herself - Judge:
[to Robert Roldan after his Viennese waltz routine with Anya Garnis] You're like the prince of the show.

Himself - Judge:
[commenting on Lauren Froderman's performance with Pasha Kovalev] To quote Sting, "Everything you do is magic."

Herself (D'Umo, Tabitha):
[hoping Alex Wong can pull off a hip-hop routine] I want it to be so "Wong" that it's right.

Himself - Judge:
[to Alex Wong after a hip-hop routine with tWitch] This is your world and I'm just visiting.

Herself - Host:
[Lil' C makes one of his famous comments and Cat answers] I'm not quite sure what you said, but i'm starting to feel hungry!

Himself - Judge:
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's an arabesque!

Himself - Judge:
[to Kent Boyd] You're like the feel good dancer of the show.

Himself - Judge:
[about Tabitha and Napoleon D'Umo's presidential debate concept] Inspiring people to dance. I just hope Sarah Palin doesn't do that routine.

Herself - Judge:
[about Lauren Froderman's performance as a presidential candidate] She's filthy.

Herself - Host:
As all good politicians.

Herself - Judge:
[about Robert Roldan's costume] They look like they should be on tour with Adam Ant.

Himself - Judge:
[critiquing Robert Roldan's performance] It made me throw up with happiness.

Herself - Choreographer (LaPatin, Melanie):
You're a little embarrassed to do some of these moves.

Lauren Froderman:
I'm a little girl. I'm scared.

Herself - Judge:
[to Lauren Froderman] If I was still dancing, I would want to dance just like you.

Himself - Judge:
[to Lauren Froderman] If music turned into a person, it would be you.

Himself - Judge:
[to Kent Boyd and Robert Roldan] You entered as kids and came out as seasoned artists and professionals. And I, for one, can't wait to work with you.

Himself - Judge:
[explaining Malevos fighting] It's what the men do to practice their tango before they go with their women. There must be very tough women in South America.
