電影與音樂劇的劇情有著些許的差別,電影中加入了一段 Joanne 與 Maureen 結婚的片段,而音樂劇則是排練表演時,Joanne 與 Maureen 的口角,產生了另外一段對唱。

Take me or leave me.

MAUREEN
Every single day, I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty, everybody stares at me,
Boys - girls, I can't help it baby
So be kind, and don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage,
Baby - let's have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too, now baby
So be mine but don't waste my time
Cryin' - "O' Honeybear - are you still my my my baby?"

JOANNE
Don't. You. Dare.

MAUREEN
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
No way - can I be what I'm not
But hey - don't you want your girl hot!
Don't fight - don't lose your head
'Cause every night - who's in your bed?
Who, who's in your bed, baby?
Kiss, Pookie.

JOANNE
It won't work.
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep
Baby what's my sin?
Never quit - I follow through
I hate mess - but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby
So be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize, but don't compromise
You're one lucky baby
Take me for what I am

MAUREEN
A control freak

JOANNE
Who I was meant to be

MAUREEN
A snob - yet over-attentive

JOANNE
And if you give a damn

MAUREEN
A lovable, droll geek

JOANNE
Take me baby or leave me

MAUREEN
And anal retentive

BOTH
That's it!

JOANNE
The straw that breaks my back

BOTH
I quit

JOANNE
Unless you take it back

BOTH
Women

MAUREEN
What is it about them?

BOTH
Can't live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby or leave me
Take me baby
Or leave me
Guess I'm leavin'
I'm GONE!

這段爭吵的導火線是, Maureen 說她一直很乖的聽 Joanne 的話,沒有去穿乳環,因為 Joanne 認為很噁心,也為了 Joanne 也沒有去夜店。Joanne 抱怨 Maureen 老是與人調情,Maureen 覺得 Joanne 簡直是小題大作,到處都是想與她約會的男性、女性,可是這是這不是她可以決定的,因為她就是萬人迷。Maureen 要求 Joanne 就接受她吧,因為她就是這樣的人,她就是這麼「辣」,就接受這樣的她吧。Joanne 說這樣是行不通的,因為我凡事規劃、有條不紊、講求紀律,睡覺前要先列下代辦事項,我討厭混亂,但是我愛妳。所以接受這樣的我,否則就離開我吧!

這一段情節最後結果是兩人告吹。但是在電影的後半段,因為兩人見到朋友的真愛表現,讓她們雙方又複合在一起。一個相知相惜的對象難得緣份,但就算只是一個有著類似價值觀的對象也難以尋覓。那裡有這樣的女孩呢? Will you take me ? Baby ?

At least I’ll have tangoed at all.
