Pretty In Pink Page #3

---

The Warsaw Pact was a treaty

signed by the Soviet Union

and seven East European satellites.

What it did was it...

it established a mutual

defence organisation as...

Duckie!

What? What, what? Well, what'd I put?

You wrote "The Warsaw Pact is the

pact that was named after Warsaw."

The teacher'll know you're bullshitting.

OK, OK. What about the rest of it?

The Russian Revolution

did not take place in Germany.

- What was Karl Marx, then?

- He was a German.

- Well, there you go.

- Yes, but his being German

has nothing to do with where

the Russian Revolution occurred!

OK, OK.

OK, can I propose something to you

without you getting upset or angry?

- That depends.

- On what?

I dunno. I just said that. Go ahead.

You're deliberately flunking your

courses so you can stay in high school.

Get out of here! Why would I do that?

- I dunno. You tell me.

- Well, I'm not, so there's nothing to tell.

- You're not always one to face things.

- What am I not facing?

The future.

Whether or not you face the future,

it happens, right?

- You run yourself down. Why?

- I am not running myself down!

You think I am? I don't think I am.

Why? Because of the way I dress?

Cos I can laugh at myself?

That's called a sense of humour.

You should get one, they're nice.

- What are we gonna do next year?

- You think I'll still be in school.

I'm serious! Not a day

has passed in eight years

when I didn't talk to you

at least 20 times!

Well, that's devotion.

I know. Even if I sometimes get angry,

you know that I secretly love it.

You see, I knew that.

I hope I'm not the only one

that knows how incredible you are.

Well, at this point in time,

I'm afraid you are, honey.

I'm gonna get something to drink,

and then we work, OK?

- You bet.

- OK. What do you want?

- Beer, Scotch, juice box. Whatever.

- OK.

Oh, God.

I love this woman.

I love this woman and I have to tell her,

and if she laughs, she laughs.

And if she doesn't love me,

she doesn't love me,

but if I don't find out...

I love her too much!

Love is real.

Thank you, thank you.

Real is love.

You're a wonderful crowd here,

you know that.

Love is living

You're fabulous. I do love you.

You're gorgeous, I love your hair.

Love is feeling

Feeling love

Love is wanting

She's gonna laugh. Would I blame her?

- There you go.

- Thanks, but I'm gonna split.

- Why? What about your paper?

- That's what I'm gonna do.

If you help me, thanks a lot, but

it won't be my work, it'll be bogus.

And I guess I'll see you in the a.m.

Drinking and driving don't mix.

That's why I ride a bike.

So, are you going out this weekend?

I dunno. I'm not sure yet.

- What are you gonna do?

- Stay at home.

- Yeah? Are you gonna study again?

- Probably. Would you put that out?

Why do you study so much? It makes

me ill. I just don't see the point.

No? I don't wanna work

in a record store my whole life.

What do you wanna be? A doctor?

Oh, God.

OK, let's go, everybody.

Get in your lines, please! Thank you.

- Vormeister!

- Here!

Bassett!

- Bassano

- Yeah!

- Look. Watch out.

- Do we smell bad or something?

Benny.

I hope they shrivel up and fall off, OK?

What was that, Miss Homan?

I said "I hope they shrivel up

and fall off".

You hope what shrivels up

and falls off?

Her breasts, Miss Dietz.

- Shut up!

- I'm sorry.

You are outta here, Homan.

Right.

Bye-bye.

Bye, girls.

So, do you share

your partner's attitude?

No, I don't.

Eat sh*t.

Excuse me, Miss Dietz.

You've only got a couple of months left.

You're doing extremely well

in your courses,

and I think your chances of

getting a scholarship are excellent.

- I know this, Mr Donnelly.

- Why are you in here now?

I don't know. I guess

I just got a little fed up.

- With what?

- The way that we get treated.

Look, you're getting

a topnotch education here

and I just don't want

to see you throw it away.

I'm getting a better education

than I deserve.

I'm lucky, the good people of this

community allow me to attend here.

- Again, you are misunderstanding me.

- No, I understand everything.

I don't need to have it

explained to me. I live it.

It's just, sometimes, I get

a little upset and I lose my temper.

I don't like to see my friends getting

punished for defending themselves.

Well, we'll just forget

about this whole thing, OK?

OK.

What about Jena?

- She's off too.

- Thank you.

Andie,

if you put out signals

that you don't wanna belong,

people are gonna

make sure that you don't.

That's a beautiful theory.

Andie! Andie!

I heard what happened and I came

as best I could. I cut out of Home Ec.

- Was it really bad?

- No, it was nothing.

- Are you upset?

- No.

Yes, yes, you are, I can tell.

Your eyes get all squinty.

- I know how to make you feel better.

- I feel fine!

I wanna take you away

this weekend. Do you fish?

- OK, we can go right now.

- I have class!

- Tonight. I won't take no for an answer.

- Try, please.

This woman is suffering inside.

That's all there is to it.

Yo, man. Next time, I'll kick your ass.

That'll be that.

I'm just kidding. It's a joke.

How about that stock market?

My broker is EF Hutton,

and EF Hutton says...

You see, it never works.

I've never seen it work.

Sh*t!

So this is what it looks like!

This is great!

Wait a minute. Wait, wait, wait.

You got doors on the stalls.

They're not stuck.

Wait a minute! We don't have

none of this stuff in the boys' room!

We don't have doors on the stalls...

What is this?

We don't have a candy machine.

- None of that.

- Who is that screaming?

I'm sorry. I want the Principal

here this instant. Now.

This instant. I'll wait. Thank you.

Sh*t! Why can't I do this?

What have you done?

This... You have to subtotal first.

I tell you this every time.

You never listen.

One more tune, then it's off

to enjoy a terrible relationship.

The guy next door loves this.

Evening, young ladies.

This is a very good tune.

My mother used to sing this. I love Otis.

We're closed.

- Know what older women do for me?

- Change your diapers?

Touch. You're a very

smoky alternative,

but this is the Duck Man's love in life.

- Shall we?

- Ever had one of these?

I don't think so.

Come on! Let's plough!

Do I offend?

Andie, hon!

Listen. It's after seven.

Don't waste good lip gloss.

- I know, lona.

- I don't mean to be a b*tch or anything,

but I don't think

Mr Wonderful's gonna happen tonight.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Wishful make-upping.

Wait. You babes are talking

a sign language

that the old Ducker here

just does not understand.

Would you mind filling me in?

I'm a little confused.

She got stood up, twerp!

Stood up? How so? Wait, I'm here!

Is this one of those feminine

mystique deals or something?

He showed.

Andie.

I'll get that.

- Duckie, I'm really sorry.

- Is this...

You're gonna go out with this guy?

Is this, like, a date?

Yeah. I mean, you'd like him.

He's not like the other guys.

Seriously.
