To: Choose Ye This Day
"If he gets up, we'll all get up - it'll be ANARCHY!"

Too many great quotes from this movie!

Loved Allison's lunch - Pixie Sticks and Cap'n Crunch? She HAD to be on something! LOL

Another thing that would be different today vs. the movie is that Brian would have been expelled for bringing a flare gun to school - zero tolerance and all. Another thing you may not hear kids say nowadays was the reason Brian gave for his fake ID - so he can vote.

Another thing you may not hear kids say nowadays was the reason Brian gave for his fake ID - so he can vote. I don't think many kids were trying to vote in 1985, either, unless your poiunt is that in certain places they'll let anyone vote without checking ID.

To me, the essence of the film is summed up in the note at the end:

Dear Mr. Vernon

We accept the fact that we had to spend a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong, but we think it's stupid for you to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us. In the simplest terms with the most convienient definitions. But what we found out is that each of us is a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess, and a criminal. Does that answer your question?

Sincerely Yours, The Breakfast Club

Brian Johnson: I'm a f#&king idiot because I can't make a lamp?
John Bender: No. You're a genius because you can't make a lamp.

Richard Vernon: What if your home... what if your family... what if your *dope* was on fire?
John Bender: Impossible, sir. It's in Johnson's underwear.
