A scene from The Breakfast Club 1985
Brian

So, so on Monday...what happens?

Claire

Are we still friends, you mean? If we're friends now, that is?

Brian

Yeah.

Claire

Do you want the truth?

Brian

Yeah, I want the truth.

Claire

I don't think so.

Allison

With all of us, or just John?

Claire

All of us...

Andrew

That's a real nice attitude, Claire!

Claire

Oh, be honest, Andy. If Brian came walking up to you in the hall on Monday, what would you do? I mean picture this, you're there with all the sportos. I know exactly what you'd do; you'd say hi to him and when he left you'd cut him all up so your friends wouldn't think you really liked him!

Andrew

No way...

Allison

'Kay, what if I came up to you?

Claire

Same exact thing.

Bender

You are a bitch!

Claire

Why? 'Cause I'm telling the truth, that makes me a bitch?

Bender

No! 'Cause you know how shitty that is to do to someone! And you don't got the balls to stand up to your friends and tell 'em that you're gonna like who you wanna like!

Claire

Okay, what about you, you hypocrite! Why don't you take Allison to one of your heavy metal vomit parties? Or take Brian out to the parking lot at lunch to get high? What about Andy for that matter, what about me? What would your friends say if we were walking down the hall together. They'd laugh their asses off and you'd probably tell them you were doing it with me so they'd forgive you for being seen with me.

Bender

Don't you ever talk about my friends! You don't know any of my friends, you don't look at any of my friends and you certainly wouldn't condescend to speak to any of my friends, so you just stick to the things you know: shopping, nail polish, your father's BMW and your poor-rich-drunk mother in the Caribbean!

Claire

SHUT UP!!!

Bender

And as far as being concerned about what's gonna happen when you and I walk down the hallways at school, you can forget it! 'Cause it's never gonna happen! Just bury your head in the sand, and wait for your ****in' prom!

Claire

I hate you!

Bender

Yeah? Good!
