Quote #7
JOHNNY: Fight harder, huh? I don't see you fighting so hard, Baby. I don't see you running up to daddy and telling him I'm your guy.
BABY: With my father, it's complicated.
JOHNNY: I don't think that you ever had any intention of telling him. Ever.
Baby may be in over her head at times, but she is a good-hearted person with her head in the right place. When Johnny calls out Baby on her hypocrisy, she goes and changes it. No other baby can do that. Heck, most full-grown people can't even do that.
Quote #8
JOHNNY: I know you want Baby to be like you. The kind of person that does things to make other people look up to you. Dr. Houseman, Baby is like that, if you could just see…
JAKE: Don't you tell me what to see. I see someone in front of me who got his partner in trouble and sent her off to some butcher while he moved to an innocent young girl like my daughter.
JOHNNY: Yeah, I guess that's what you would see.
Baby's dad doesn't dislike Johnny because he's a crotchety old jerk. He has principles too. He believes that a man needs to take care of a woman he gets pregnant, which is an excellent principle to have. Unfortunately, Jake's directing his anger at the wrong person. His prejudices are getting in the way of his principles.
Quote #9
JOHNNY: Sorry for the disruption, folks, but I always do the last dance of the season. This year somebody told me not to. So I'm gonna do my kind of dancing with a great partner, who's not only a terrific dancer, but somebody who's taught me that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them. Somebody who's taught me about the kind of person I want to be. Miss Frances Houseman.
There's a possibility this speech is directed to Baby's father. Johnny wants him to know that Baby's exactly the type of girl that he would have wanted to her to be.
