Hairspray (2007)

Partager la citation sur facebook Being invited places by colored people - it feels so hip!

Partager la citation sur facebook Ma, it's changing out there! You'll like it. People who are different, their time is coming!

Partager la citation sur facebook The rats on the street
All dance ’round my feet,
They seem to say
“Tracy, it’s up to you!”
So, oh, oh,
Don’t hold me back,
’Cause today, all my dreams will come true!

Partager la citation sur facebook Good morning Baltimore!
There’s the flasher who lives next door,
There’s the bum on his barroom stool,
They wish me luck on my way to school.

Partager la citation sur facebook Good morning Baltimore,
And some day when I take to the floor,
The world’s gonna wake up and see
Baltimore and me.

Partager la citation sur facebook You can’t stop an avalanche
As it races down the hill;
You can try to stop the seasons, girl
But ya know you never will.
And you can try to stop my dancin' feet,
But I just cannot stand still.

Partager la citation sur facebook My mom says I’m not allowed to perspire!

Partager la citation sur facebook In my ivory tower
Life was just a Hostess snack
But now I’ve tasted chocolate
And I'm never going back

Partager la citation sur facebook Sorry, little darlin’. Hope I didn’t dent your ’do.

Partager la citation sur facebook Hey little girl lookin' for a sale,
Test drive this American male
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank,
So let's crack open your piggy bank!

Partager la citation sur facebook (answering teacher's question) Kiss my ass?

Partager la citation sur facebook (crying after Link has gone with Tracy and the Detention Kids) He just danced on that bus with that Great White Whale and those Negroes!

Partager la citation sur facebook Hey look out for that moving van
Driving down our street!
You better lock up your man
Before he meets

Partager la citation sur facebook The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
I could say it ain’t so, but darling, what’s the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste,
And that’s where it’s at
Now run tell that!

Partager la citation sur facebook Girl, if I can’t touch you
Then I’m gonna lose control

Partager la citation sur facebook I’m tired of coverin’ up all my pride!
(So give me five on the black-hand side)
I’ve got a new way of movin’
And I've got my own voice!
(So how can I help,
But to shout and rejoice?)
The people ’round here
Can barely pay their rent
They're try'n to make dollar
Outta fifteen cent!
But we got a spirit
Money just can’t buy!
It’s deep as a river
And soars to the sky!!!

Partager la citation sur facebook Those poor runner-ups
Might still hold their grudges
They padded their cups
But I screwed the judges

Partager la citation sur facebook But you can bow and exalt
'Cause I am "Miss Baltimore Crabs"

Partager la citation sur facebook I risked clinical diseases, she’ll certainly risk jail.

Partager la citation sur facebook Let me guess, brand-new dress? Well, you’ll stop traffic!

Partager la citation sur facebook I could do a fan dance with a lettuce leaf and you would remain completely obtuse!

Partager la citation sur facebook You know what your demographic is? Cleaning ladies and lawn jockeys.

Partager la citation sur facebook You cannot have lost, because I switched the damn tallies!

Partager la citation sur facebook My husband, he accidentally suffocated.

Partager la citation sur facebook I bet you’re tired of heavy lifting
Get your hands on something small

Partager la citation sur facebook Don’tcha let nobody try to steal your fun,
’Cause a little touch of lipstick never hurt no one
The future’s got a million roads for you to choose,
But you’ll walk a little taller in some high heel shoes
And once you find a style that makes you feel like you,
Something fresh, something new

Partager la citation sur facebook Edna: Will you turn that racket down? I'm trying to iron here.
Tracy: Ma, its not racket, its the Corny Collins Show!
Edna: Well, it's turning your brains into mud!

Partager la citation sur facebook Penny: Without that show I have nothing!
Mrs. Pingleton: Having nothing builds character!

Partager la citation sur facebook Corny: And now it’s time to say goodbye to our very own fun-lovin’, free-wheelin’ little Brenda. Come on up here, Brenda! [Brenda does so] Brenda will be taking a little leave of absence from the show. How long are you gonna be gone, Brenda?
Brenda: [smiling nervously] Just nine months.

Partager la citation sur facebook Velma: Detroit sound? What’s that, the cries of people being mugged?

Partager la citation sur facebook Velma: They’re kids, Corny, that’s why we have to steer them in the white direction.
Corny: The right direction?
Velma: Didn’t I say that?

Partager la citation sur facebook Corny: Gee, Velma, how do you fire Corny Collins from The Corny Collins Show? [walks off]
Velma: [starts to speak and then pauses, frustrated] They do it all the time on “Lassie”!

Partager la citation sur facebook Edna: No one is auditioning for anything in this household!
Tracy: But why not? Why not?
Edna: Because dancing is not your future. One day, you’re going to own "Edna’s Occidental Laundry".
Tracy: I don’t want to be a laundress, I want to be famous!
Edna: If you want to be famous, learn how to take blood out of car upholstery; That’s a skill you can take right to the bank!

Partager la citation sur facebook Wilbur: [to Tracy] This is America, babe, you gotta think big to be big.
Edna: Big ain’t the problem in this family, Wilbur...

Partager la citation sur facebook Tracy: I can’t believe I’m really here auditioning [for The Corny Collins Show]!
Penny: I can’t believe I’m really here watching you audition.

Partager la citation sur facebook Tracy: Negro Day’s the best! I wish every day were “Negro Day”!
Seaweed: At our house, it is.
[Everyone laughs]

Partager la citation sur facebook Amber: You have to vote for a person, Corny, not one of the Himalayas.
Corny: [tightly] Always the charmer, Amber!

Partager la citation sur facebook Velma: [after The Dynamites perform “The New Girl in Town”] How dare you pick the same song!
Maybelle: They wrote it.

Partager la citation sur facebook Mr. Flak: Oh, and Mr. Larkin, perhaps you’d like to share with the rest of the class Patrick Henry’s immortal last words?
Link: [pause] Kiss my ass?
[Amber gasps in shock]

Partager la citation sur facebook Penny: I’m very pleased and scared to be here.
Maybelle: Now, honey, we got more reason to be scared on your street.

Partager la citation sur facebook Amber: I’m calling because I have some information about your daughter’s whereabouts.
Edna: What?
Amber: Right now, as we speak, your daughter has entered a hotbed of moral... !urpentine.

Partager la citation sur facebook Maybelle: [watching Edna walk in] Boy, if we get any more white people in here, this is gonna be a suburb.

Partager la citation sur facebook Maybelle: Miz Edna, is it? Hi, I mean, you don’t have to rush off, you know.
Edna: Well, I do. I left my iron on.
Maybelle: Oh, your iron? Well, before you go, are you sure you wouldn't like to have a little something to eat? [shows Edna the soul food spread on the table]
Edna: [after a long moment] Is that braised?

Partager la citation sur facebook Velma Von Tussle: Incredible! I could do a fan dance with a lettuce leaf and you would remain completely obtuse!
Wilbur: Obtuse?
Velma: Yes, obtuse!
Wilbur: I flunked geometry-
Velma: Yeah, well, and biology too, no doubt!

Partager la citation sur facebook Wilbur: [to a sobbing Edna, who thinks that he has been cheating on her with Velma] Honey, it took me five years to figure out you were flirting! How could I ever?

Partager la citation sur facebook Link: I was just at home, practising my new twist on “The Twist”, when I overheard it on the news. I can’t believe Tracy savagely bludgeoned an Eagle Scout! That’s just not like her!
Edna: But it’s not true! I was there! He didn't even bleed!

Partager la citation sur facebook [Seaweed attempts to untie the rope binding Penny]
Penny: Oh, Seaweed, you do care! I was afraid the colors of our skin would keep us apart!
Seaweed: No, but these knots might. [still trying to untie her] Was your mom in the Navy?

Partager la citation sur facebook Inez: [singing] Seaweed’s got a girlfriend!
Seaweed: Shut up!
Inez: You.
Maybelle: [to Seaweed and Penny] Oh, so this is love? [pauses, then smiles] Well, love is a gift; a lot of people don’t remember that. So you two better brace yourselves for a whole lotta ugly comin’ at you from a never-ending parade of stupid.
Penny: [deadpan] Oh, you've met my mother?

Partager la citation sur facebook Police Chief: [while on the lookout for Tracy] Velma, I seriously doubt she’ll risk incarceration to win a pageant.
Velma: [to herself] I risked communicable diseases. She’ll certainly risk jail.

Partager la citation sur facebook Penny: I am now a checkerboard chick! [kisses Seaweed]
Mrs. Pingleton: [sees this on TV, and screams in horror] Penny, no! [tumbles over the coffee table]

Partager la citation sur facebook Amber: I lost, Mom, Let’s just deal with it!
Velma: No, you did not lose! [as she pulls the tallies out of her brassiere] You cannot have lost because I switched the damn tallies!
Edna: Smile, Ms. Crab Meat! [camera pans to reveal her and Wilbur standing behind a live television camera] You’re on Candid Camera!
Wilbur: That was a good shot, don’t you think?
Cameraman: Not bad!

Partager la citation sur facebook Velma: Corny, do something! This show is turning to gumbo!
Corny: Not a chance, Velma - this is the future.

Partager la citation sur facebook Who’s who behind the do?

Partager la citation sur facebook You Can’t Stop The Beat…July 2007

Partager la citation sur facebook Nikki Blonsky's film début. She was chosen out of a nationwide talent search and was actually surprised by director/choreographer Adam Shankman via a live video feed at Cold Stone Creamery where she worked.

Partager la citation sur facebook It took four hours of makeup daily to put John Travolta into the thirty-pound body suit to play Edna Turnblad.

Partager la citation sur facebook The hairstyles and bunches for the cast members took an average of three hours to do.

Partager la citation sur facebook Amanda Bynes (Penny Pingleton) constantly sucked on lollipops. Her father, a dentist, expressed concern about it. She assured him that she was not really eating them when in reality she ate them all.

Partager la citation sur facebook Several deleted scenes included: Edna being arrested at the protest, Tracy singing "I Can Wait" in the bomb shelter of Penny's basement, and Velma being arrested near the end of "You Can't Stop the Beat". They can all be seen on the DVD.

Partager la citation sur facebook The song "The New Girl in Town" was originally written for the Broadway show and it was cut during its pre-Broadway run but it was included in the film version. This was done to give Brittany Snow (Amber Von Tussle) a chance to sing and to show Negro Day, something that the other adaptations never did.

Partager la citation sur facebook The song "You Can't Stop the Beat" was nicknamed "You Can't Stop to Breathe" by the cast due to the song's length, the near-nonstop dancing, and the large amount of words sung.

Partager la citation sur facebook The songs "It Takes Two" and "Ladies' Choice", both sung by Link, were written for the stage and film respectively, even though the coda for the first song was only heard on film. It can be heard on the CD soundtrack.

Partager la citation sur facebook During a break in the filming, John Travolta led the cast in "Summer Loving" and "Greased Lightning" from Grease. Amanda and Zac were so excited that they texted all of their friends. Zac sent pages and pictures to his High School Musical cast mates who were on tour at that time.

Partager la citation sur facebook The added reprise of "Big, Blonde, and Beautiful" was done at Michelle Pfeiffer's suggestion to replace a scripted scene so that she could have another chance to sing.

Partager la citation sur facebook Unlike the Broadway show, neither Amber nor Velma take active parts in "You Can't Stop the Beat.”

Partager la citation sur facebook For "Run Tell That”, a 1959 GMC school bus was cut into nine pieces to facilitate the dance number. Ironically, the white kids sat at the back of the bus.

Partager la citation sur facebook The dress that Penny wears in "You Can't Stop the Beat" was made from the curtains in her room. It was homage to Disney films where dresses were made from curtains and blankets.

Partager la citation sur facebook When Edna says, "If you want to be famous, learn how to take blood out of car upholstery", it is a reference to the Harvey Keitel character. (Although - as this line was used in the Broadway musical - it is most unlikely to be an actual reference - merely coincidental as the Broadway musical was written way before any John Travolta involvement in the 2007 film musical)

Partager la citation sur facebook John Waters, director and writer of the original Hairspray and executive producer of the 2007 remake, was "the flasher who lives next door".

Partager la citation sur facebook Mink Stole, Tammy in the 1988 film, was one of the women flashed by John Waters.

Partager la citation sur facebook Choreographers Anne Fletcher, Zach Woodlee, and Joey Pizzi were the nurse, the teacher in the smoking lounge (whose doughnut Tracy takes), and the Driver's Ed teacher respectively in "I Can Hear the Bells".

Partager la citation sur facebook Choreographer Jamal Sims was one of the protesters in "I Know Where I've Been". He was the one on Edna's left.

Partager la citation sur facebook Set director Joey O'Brien was The Corny Collins Show director.

Partager la citation sur facebook Director/Choreographer Adam Shankman, Ricki Lake (the original Tracy in the 1988 film), and composer Mark Shaiman were the William Morris talent agents. Note Shaiman's out-of-time beard and hair.

Partager la citation sur facebook Shawn Thompson, Corny Collins in the original 1988 film, was the reporter outside of the studio.

Partager la citation sur facebook Jerry Stiller, Wilbur Turnblad in the original 1988 film, was Mr. Pinky, from Mr. Pinky’s Hefty Hideaway.
