Ballet for Kathy
what is the quote Kathy says about dancers being a butterly?
shareI *just* watched this episode so I went back (and trust me it took a lil while cause netflix isn't exactly something you can instantly reverse and replay, lol!) and here's the passage (it's around mins 34 & 35 of the ep)
Bruno and Kathy are talking about outcome of her knee injury and the medical report (don't want to create another spoiler so I'll leave it here for those who just want to glance down at the butterfly part). I, personally, feel the dialog is necessary to make the butterfly part so powerful, however it is the spoiler part so I've laid down the spoiler cover.

Bruno: Kathy, they know; and so do I. (that she has Multiple Sclerosis)
Kathy: What do you mean? You know what?
Bruno brushes back Kathy's hair gently then the scene changes to the dressing room.
Kathy: ...and I told my mom & dad that I wanted to go as far as I could, as long as I could, until this thing I've got makes me stop.
Bruno: (shaking head softly) Maybe you better start thinking of a longterm view, like lowering your sights a little bit.
Kathy: Hey, I'm a butterfly, OK? You don't want butterflies worrying about what's gonna happen when winter comes! It's not what a butterfly is all about. They're about spring and summer and being pretty - not about taking longterm views.
Bruno: Schorofsky's going to kick you out of school Kathy.
Kathy: No, he's gonna to try, but he won't be able to.
Bruno: And how are you going to stop him?
Kathy: Because! I won't let anybody judge me on what's going to happen! They gotta judge me on now...and right now I belong in that dance troupe.
Being happy is like peeing yourself, everyone sees it - but only you feel the warmth!
