Hoover Have you seen Boon?
He disappeared when we got here. He's probably upstairs talking to Otter.
Hoover No doubt.
Hoover Have another beer, Larry. She's just kidding.

Scenes with Hoover
7 scenes Hoover Hoover Hoover Hoover Kent is a legacy, Otter. His brother was a '59, Fred Dorfman.
He said legacies usually get asked to pledge automatically.
Oh, well, usually. Unless the pledge in question turns out to be a real closet-case.
Like Fred.
Hoover We're in trouble. I just checked with the guys at the Jewish house and they said that every one of our answers on the Psych test was wrong.
Every one? [looks at Bluto and D-Day] Those assholes must have stolen the wrong **** exam!
The following charges are brought: First, that the Delta house did knowingly violate the rules governing pledge recruitment by serving alcohol to freshmen during pledge week and after established drinking hours.
Hoover I'd like to address these charges one at a time, if l may.
You'll get your chance, smart guy. [to Neidermeyer] Get on with it.
Second, that for the fifth consecutive semester, Delta has achieved a deficient aggregate grade point average.
Hoover Half the houses didn't make grades.
You will speak when you're told to, and not before! [to Neidermeyer] Read.
Third, that the Delta fraternity routinely provided dangerous narcotic diet pills to its members during--
Hoover That's not true!
Not another word!
During midterm examination week. And most recently...that a Roman toga party was held from which we have received two dozen reports of individual acts of perversion so profound and disgusting that decorum prohibits listing them here.
Point of parliamentary procedure!
Hoover Don't screw around, they're serious this time!
Take it easy, I'm pre-law.
I thought you were pre-med.
What's the difference?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did. [winks at Dean Wormer] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but I for one am not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
You've done it this time buster! No more Delta! I'm calling the national office! I'm going to revoke your charter! And if you wiseguys do one more thing, one more, I'm going to kick you out of college! No more fun of any kind!
Jesus. What's going on?
Hoover They confiscated everything, even the stuff we didn't steal.
They took the bar! The whole **** bar!
[Otter grabs a bottle of whiskey and throws it to Bluto, who chugs it all]
Thanks. I needed that.
Hoover Christ. This is ridiculous. What are we going to do?
Road trip.
Where are the other two - Stratton and Schoenstein?
Hoover We can't find them, sir. We looked everywhere, but-
Never mind. Did you boys see your grade point averages yet?
Hoover They're not posted yet, sir.
I've seen them. Mr. Kroger, two C's, two D's and an F - that's a 1.2 grade average. Congratulations, Kroger, you're at the top of the Delta pledge class.
Hellooooo.
0.2. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta House - 1.6. Four C's and an F. A fine example you set. Daniel Simpson Day has no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu- [looks up to see that Bluto has stuck pencils up his nose] Mr. Blutarsky. Zero POINT zero. Now I want you to tell Mr. Stratton and Mr. Schoenstein exactly what I'm about to tell you right now.
Hoover And what's that, sir?
You're out! Finished at Faber! Expelled! I want you off this campus at 9:00 Monday morning! And I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I have notified your local draft boards and told them that you are now all, ALL eligible for military service.
[Flounder's mouth flutters]
Well? [Flounder opens his mouth a bit] WELL? [Flounder opens his mouth some more] OUT WITH IT! [Flounder vomits on Dean Wormer]
