The Breakfast Club Page #14

CARL:

Aw bull sh*t, man. Come on Vern,

the kids haven't changed, you have!

You took a teaching position, 'cause

you thought it'd be fun, right?

Thought you could have summer

vacations off...and then you found

out it was actually work...and that

really bummed you out.

VERNON:

These kids turned on me...they think

I'm a big f***in' joke...

CARL:

Come on...listen Vern, if you were

sixteen, what would you think of

you, huh?

VERNON:

Hey...Carl, you think I give one

rat's ass what these kids think of

me?

CARL:

Yes I do...

VERNON:

You think about this...when you get

old, these kids; when I get old,

they're gonna be runnin' the country.

CARL:

Yeah?

VERNON:

Now this is the thought that wakes

me up in the middle of the night...

That when I get older, these kids

are gonna take care of me...

CARL:

I wouldn't count on it!

Vernon ponders that statement for a moment.

CUT TO:

30. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

They are sitting on the floor in a circle.

ANDREW:

What would I do for a million bucks?

Well, I guess I'd do as little as I

had to...

CLAIRE:

That's boring...

ANDREW:

Well, how'm I s'posed to answer?

CLAIRE:

The idea is to like search your mind

for the absolute limit. Like, uh,

would you drive to school naked?

Andrew laughs.

ANDREW:

Um, uh...would I have to get out of

the car?

CLAIRE:

Of course...

ANDREW:

In the spring, or winter?

CLAIRE:

It doesn't matter...spring...

ANDREW:

In front of the school or in back

of the school?

CLAIRE:

Either one...

ANDREW:

Yes...

ALLISON:

I'd do that!

They all look at her.

ALLISON:

I'll do anything sexual, I don't

need a million dollars to do it

either...

CLAIRE:

You're lying...

ALLISON:

I already have...I've done just

about everything there is except a

few things that are illegal...I'm a

nymphomaniac!

Claire rolls her eyes.

CLAIRE:

Lie...

BRIAN:

Are your parents aware of this?

ALLISON:

The only person I told was my

shrink...

ANDREW:

And what'd he do when you told him?

ALLISON:

He nailed me...

CLAIRE:

Very nice...

ALLISON:

I don't think that from a legal

standpoint what he did can be

construed as rape since I paid him.

CLAIRE:

He's an adult!

Allison is relishing this attention.

ALLISON:

Yeah...he's married too!

Claire notes her disgust.

CLAIRE:

Do you have any idea how completely

gross that is?

ALLISON:

Well, the first few times...

CLAIRE:

First few times? You mean he did it

more than once?

ALLISON:

Sure...

CLAIRE:

Are you crazy?

BRIAN:

Obviously she's crazy if she's

screwing her shrink...

ALLISON:

(to Claire)

Have you ever done it?

CLAIRE:

I don't even have a psychiatrist...

ALLISON:

Have you ever done it with a normal

person?

CLAIRE:

Now, didn't we already cover this?

BENDER:

You never answered the question...

CLAIRE:

Look, I'm not gonna discuss my

private life with total strangers.

ALLISON:

It's kind of a double-edged sword,

isn't it?

CLAIRE:

A what?

ALLISON:

Well, if you say you haven't...

you're a prude. If you say you

have...you're a slut! It's a trap.

You want to but you can't but when

you do you wish you didn't, right?

CLAIRE:

Wrong...

ALLISON:

Or, are you a tease?

ANDREW:

She's a tease...

CLAIRE:

Oh why don't you just forget it...

ANDREW:

You're a tease and you know it, all

girls are teases!

BENDER:

(to Andrew)

She's only a tease if what she does

gets you hot...

CLAIRE:

I don't do anything!

ALLISON:

That's why you're a tease...

CLAIRE:

Okay, lemme ask you a few questions.

Allison is suddenly defensive.

ALLISON:

I've already told you everything!

CLAIRE:

No! Doesn't it bother you to sleep

around without being in love. I

mean don't you want any respect?

ALLISON:

I don't screw to get respect...That's

the difference between you and me...
