The Goldbergs · Season 1, Episode 15

Adult Adam, Johnny Castle and others in “Unfinished Business”

[voiceover] The '80s was the decade of great dance movies, but nothing had the moves or magic of the epic love story "Dirty Dancing." And no one loved it more than Beverly Goldberg.

JCJohnny Castle

[on the big screen at the cinema] Somebody who's taught me...

...That there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them. [mimicking] Sit down, Jake.

[voiceover] Unfortunately, my mom dragged me to see it with her... 17 times.

You said we could see "Spaceballs." There's no space or balls in this whole movie.

Hold my hand. Live this with me.

[voiceover] My mom was so obsessed, she even bought a copy for the low price of $89.99.

JCJohnny Castle

[on the TV] Nobody puts Baby in the corner.

Nobody!

My God, his arms are like glistening tree trunks.

And -- woof -- mama like that muffet. [snorts]

[voiceover] "Dirty Dancing" was the only thing that got my mom and sister to get along. For the first time ever, they were, like, friends.

You know, this is actually based on a true story.

I'm pretty sure that's not true.

It's real, and you can't take that away from me.

Wait...maybe it can be! The sucky losers on the school dance committee are still fighting over a theme. We can do a "dirty dancing" dance!

Are you telling me you get to live "dirty dancing," and I could live every moment through you?

That's not what I'm saying at all.

It's decided. We do this dance.

Aw, screw it! Help me plan it.

Lame! Sorry, ladies! Truth bomb coming in! This one gonna hurt! "Dirty Dancing" sucks!

No! Don't you ruin this for us!

There's only one dance movie in this world that matters -- "footloose"!

Go away!

Stop this at once!

It has it all -- gymnastics, bros bonding secretly with dance, and a ruggedly handsome outsider who dances into the hearts of a small town.

Please! "Dirty dancing" is at least realistic. A beautiful girl dances into the hearts of a small resort.

No. Patrick Swayze can only be a badass roadhouse bouncer, not some tight-pants-wearing mountain dancer.

You are grounded for six weeks! No TV or phone!

But I need the phone to talk and the TV to watch television!

That's the point.

Fine! You took away my "footloose," I take away your "dirty dancing." [He is about to take away her "Dirty Dancing."]

What?

No!

Hey!

No!

Hands off my swayze!

He's a bouncer! No!

Dancer!

He is a bouncer! He's a bouncer!

Dancer!

Dancer!

He's a bouncer!

Dancer! Dancer!
