A scene from Sixteen Candles 1984
Jake

[about Samantha's panties]

These are really hers?

The Geek

Yeah.

Jake

How did you get 'em?

The Geek

She gave 'em to me.

Jake

Did you...

The Geek

No! No, Jake. She's cranked for you. I told her you asked about her, right? The girl freaked. She had a fit. She thinks you're the cat's meow!

Jake

Really? She came up to me in the gym tonight. She looked at me like I was a leper.

The Geek

Girls will do that, Jake. You know? They know that guys are like in perpetual heat, right? They know we do it, and they enjoy pumping us up. It's pure power politics, I'm telling you.

Jake

I thought she hated my guts.

The Geek

Games, Jake. Silly torturous games. You know how many times I've gone without lunch because some bitch borrows my lunch money? Any halfway decent girl can rob me - blind! Because I'm too torqued up to say no. It's heinous, I'm telling you.

Jake

You better not be dickin' me around. It'd be a major downer to try and get together with this girl and find out that she really does think I'm a slime.

The Geek

Jake, would I dick you? Let me put it to you this way: what happens to me if I dick you?

Jake

Heh, I'd kick your ass.

The Geek

Right! So why would I lie? But I feel compelled to mention to you, Jake, that if all you want of the girl is a piece of ass, I mean, I'll either do it myself, or get someone bigger than me to kick your ass. I mean, not many girls in contemporary American society today would give their underwear to help a geek like me.

Jake

I can get a piece of ass anytime I want. Shit, I've got Caroline in the bedroom right now, passed out cold. I could violate her ten different ways if I wanted to.

The Geek

[almost chokes on a pretzel]

What are you waiting for?

Jake

I don't know. She's beautiful, and she's built and all that. [Sighs] I'm just not interested anymore.

The Geek

Does that really matter, guy?

Jake

Yeah, it matters. She's totally insensitive. Look what she did to my house. She doesn't know shit about love. Only thing she cares about is partying. I want a serious girlfriend. Somebody I can love, that's gonna love me back. Is that psycho?

The Geek

That's beautiful, Jake.
