of the song.

CUT TO:

33. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Andrew, Allison, Claire and Brian are sitting, in that
order on the railing.

CLAIRE
Brian?

BRIAN
Yeah?

CLAIRE
Are you gonna write your paper?

BRIAN
Yeah, why?

CLAIRE
Well, it's kinda a waste for all of
us to write our paper, don't you
think?

BRIAN
Oh, but that's what Vernon wants us
to do...

CLAIRE
True, but I think we'd all kinda
say the same thing.

BRIAN
You just don't want to write your
paper...Right?

CLAIRE
True, but, you're the smartest,
right?

BRIAN
(with pride)
Oh, well...

CLAIRE
We trust you...

Brian glances over at Allison and Andrew who nod in
approval.

ANDREW
Yeah...

BRIAN
All right, I'll do it...

CLAIRE
Great...

Claire looks at Allison who looks back.

CLAIRE
(to Allison)
Come on...

ALLISON
Where're we going?

CLAIRE
Come on!

We see Claire putting eye make-up on Allison.

CLAIRE
Don't be afraid.

ALLISON
Don't stick that in my eye!

CLAIRE
I'm not sticking it, just close...
just go like that...

Claire closes her eyes. Allison mimics her.

CLAIRE
Good...

Claire puts the make-up on her and Allison squeals.

CLAIRE
You know you really do look a lot
better without all that black shit
on your eyes...


ALLISON
Hey...I like that black shit...

CLAIRE
This looks a lot better...look up.

We see Brian thinking about what he's going to write.

We see Andrew just thinking.

We see Allison and Claire again. Claire is still
putting make-up on Allison.

ALLISON
Please, why are you being so nice to
me?


CLAIRE
'Cause you're letting me.

We see Brian begin to write.

We see Andrew, still deep in thought.
CUT TO:

We see Bender, in the closet once again. Claire opens
the door and enters.

BENDER
You lost?

Claire stares at him.

Bender smiles.

Claire smiles.
CUT TO:

35. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

Brian is busily preparing the essay.

Andrew looks up and sees the newly made over Allison and
is in awe.

Allison walks towards him and stops when she notices
Brian staring at her with his mouth open.

She glares at him.

BRIAN
Cool!

ALLISON
(smiling)
Thank you!
CUT TO:

36. INT. CLOSET - DAY

Claire kisses Bender, then she breaks the kiss.

BENDER
Why'd you do that?

CLAIRE
'Cause I knew you wouldn't.

BENDER
You know how you said before, how
your parents used you to get back
at each other...wouldn't I be
outstanding in that capacity?


CLAIRE
Were you really disgusted about
what I did with my lipstick?

BENDER
Truth?

CLAIRE
Truth...

Bender nods and speaks at the same time.

BENDER
No...
CUT TO:

37. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

We see Brian lift up his paper and kiss it.

We see Andrew and Allison.

ANDREW
What happened to you?

ALLISON
Why? Claire did it! What's wrong?

ANDREW
Nothing's wrong, it's just so
different. I can see your face.

ALLISON
Is that good or bad?

ANDREW
(laughing)
It's good!

Allison smiles.

We see Brian laugh and give himself a congratulatory
punch in the arm.
CUT TO:

38. INT. HALLWAY - DAY

The five are walking down the hall where they are met
by Carl, sweeping up. Brian nods at him.

CARL
See ya Brian...

BRIAN
Hey Carl...

BENDER
(to Carl)
See you next Saturday...

CARL
You bet!


CUT TO:

39. EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

Brian gets into his dad's car and leaves.
Andrew and Allison kiss, Allison rips a patch off
Andrew's jacket and gets into the car.

Andrew's dad arrives and looks at him, then at Allison.

Andrew gets into the car and they drive off.

We see Claire take out one of her diamond earrings
and put it into Benders hand. They kiss and she gets
into her car. She leaves.

We see Bender put the earring in his ear.
CUT TO:

40. INT. LIBRARY - DAY

We see Vernon pick up Brian's essay and begin to read.

BRIAN (VO)
Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact
that we had to sacrifice a whole
Saturday in detention for whatever
it was we did wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make an essay
telling you who we think we are.
You see us as you want to see us...
In the simplest terms, in the most
convenient definitions.

CUT TO:

41. EXT. FOOTBALL FIELD - DAY

We see Bender walking towards us as Brian's monologue
continues.

BRIAN (VO)
(CONT'D)
But what we found out is that each
one of us is a brain...


ANDREW (VO)
...and an athlete...

ALLISON (VO)
...and a basket case...

CLAIRE (VO)
...a princess...

BENDER (VO)
...and a criminal...

BRIAN (VO)
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.


We see Bender walking across the football field
as he thrusts his fist into the air in a silent cheer
and freezes there.
