Ringwald Quotes in The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)

Muldaur: [teenagers are filling the beach waiting for Billie Jean] Should have cordoned off the beach.

Ringwald: [to Muldaur] I'm a policeman, you're a politician, and you're not running for office here!

Binx: [cuts in] Hello, ma!

Billie Jean: [shoves Binx aside] Sorry, that is him. Mom, I don't know when we'll be comin' home, but we love you. I know people are making up stories about us. Don't you believe them. As for you, Mr. Pyatt. You are so sleazy.

Putter: [cheers on camera] YEA!

Billie Jean: You think you can do anything you want and then lie about it and we just have to take it, because what are we? Just a bunch of kids. Well not this time. From now on we're doin' this our way. No lyin', no cheatin', fair is fair.

Kid #1 in Crowd: [at electronics store watching TV] Alright!

Billie Jean: $608 dollars for the scooter your son trashed. That's what you owe, and we're NOT turnin' ourselves in til we get it. Fair is fair! We didn't start this, we didn't mean it to happen, but we're not givin' up til you pay. FAIR IS FAIR!

Putter: Hubie won't bring it back.

Ringwald: How do you know?

Putter: 'Cause he's a fucker, that's how I know.

Ringwald: If that scooter's not back on your front lawn in two days...

Billie Jean: We live in Breeze Haven...

Ringwald: All right, in front of your trailer... you give us a call, we'll... drag in the fucker.

[Putter cuts off her hair]

Police Sergeant: [brings 4 girls out of a cell] They all say they're Billie Jean.

Ringwald: Call their parents, send them home.

Muldaur: What about this gun they pulled on you, all fun and games?

Ringwald: I've been thinking about that, I'm not sure that gun's even real. The toy store reported a few things missing, they left IOUs.

Muldaur: These kids got the drop on you with a toy gun?

Ringwald: [smiling] Yes sir I believe they did.

Muldaur: I would've loved to have seen that.
