The Breakfast Club1985

Andrew [referring to his act of taping a classmate's buttocks together]:
The bizarre thing is, is that I did it for my old man...I tortured this poor kid, because I wanted him to think that I was cool. He's always going off about, you know, when he was in school...all the wild things he used to do. And I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right...So, I'm...I'm sitting in the locker room, and I'm taping up my knee. And Larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. Yeah...he's kinda...he's kinda skinny, weak. And I started thinking about my father, and his attitude about weakness. And the next thing I knew, I uh, I jumped on top of him and started wailing on him...And my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I was sittin' in Vernon's office, all I could think about was Larry's father. And Larry havin' to go home and...and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation...f***ing humiliation he must've felt. It must've been unreal...I mean, I mean, how do you apologize for something like that? There's no way...it's all because of me and my old man. Oh God, I f***ing hate him! He's like this...he's like this mindless machine that I can't even relate to anymore..."Andrew, you've got to be number one! I won't tolerate any losers in this family...Your intensity is for sh*t! Win. Win! WIN!!!" You son of a b*tch! You know, sometimes, I wish my knee would give...and I wouldn't be able to wrestle anymore. And he could forget all about me.

Bender:
I think your old man and my old man should get together and go bowling.

Brian:
It's like me, you know, with my grades. Like, when I, when I step outside myself kinda, and when I, when I look in at myself you know? And I see me and I don't like what I see, I really don't.

Claire:
What's wrong with you? Why don't you like yourself?

Brian:
'Cause I'm stupid...'cause I'm failing shop. See we had this assignment, to make this ceramic elephant, and um--and we had eight weeks to do it and we're s'posed ta, and it was like a lamp, and when you pull the trunk the light was s'posed to go on. My light didn't go on, I got a F on it. Never got a F in my life. When I signed up, you know, for the course I mean. I thought I was playing it real smart, you know. 'Cause I thought, I'll take shop, it'll be such an easy way to maintain my grade point average.

Bender:
Why'd you think it'd be easy?

Brian:
Have you seen some of the dopes that take shop?

Bender:
I take shop. You must be a f***in' idiot!

Brian:
I'm a f***in' idiot because I can't make a lamp?

Bender:
No, you're a genius because you can't make a lamp.

Brian:
What do you know about Trigonometry?

Bender:
I could care less about Trigonometry.

Brian:
Bender, did you know without Trigonometry there'd be no engineering?

Bender:
Without lamps, there'd be no light.
