Continuity: Jack's hair changes drastically between shots when Andie is talking to him about missing his job interview. Continuity: Andie puts her lipstick away twice. Continuity: When Blane puts Andie in his car, the painted brick wall with the newspaper boxes is in the background, without Duckie. In the next shot, he is sitting on the newspaper box. Continuity: When Blaine asks Andie out, directly behind him can be seen a girl in white tights with a blue and yellow dress on. In the next shot, the same girl can be seen behind Andie. Throughout the scene the girl is shown standing behind both Blaine and Andie, even though they are sitting on opposite sides of one another and the view of the playground behind them each is different. Continuity: Andie's sunglasses are alternately in her lap and her hair when Blaine is going to ask her out for first time. Continuity: When Andie is at Trax waiting for her first date with Blaine, she is holding a light-colored clutch purse. When she and Blaine are walking to his car she has a large multi-colored purse hanging from her shoulder. Continuity: In the scene where Duckie is riding his bike in front of Andie's house while he's mad at her, you notice a red car drive by to the right of the screen, then drive by again in the opposite direction. Continuity: During the prom scene a teacher can be seen breaking up a couple's dance twice. Once during the overview and then the exact same way again when the cameras do the close up. |

Steff: Money really means nothing to me. Do you think I'd treat my parents' house this way if it did? Principal: If you give off signals that you don't want to belong, people will make sure that you don't. Iona: Does he have... strong lips? Andie: How can you tell? Iona: Did you feel it in your knees? Andie: I felt it everywhere. Iona: Strong lips. [laughs] I know I'm old enough to be his mother, but when the Duck laid that kiss on me last night, I swear my thighs just went up in flames! He must practice on melons or something. Steff: C'mon, I'm talking about more than just sex here. Andie: No you're not. Steff: You know, I've been out with a lot of girls at this school. I don't see what makes you so different. Andie: Well, I have taste. Steff: [puts cigarette in mouth] You're a bitch. Duckie: May I admire you again today? Duckie: This is a really volcanic ensemble you're wearing, it's really marvelous! Duckie: What now? Andie: Bed. Duckie: Yours or mine? Ours? Blane: You said you couldn't be with someone who didn't believe in you. Well I believed in you. I just didn't believe in me. I love you... always. Andie: I just want them to know that they didn't break me. Blane: How are you doing? Andie: Why haven't you called me? Blane: Oh, I got nailed for the stable thing. I guess the groom saw us. It's against the rules. Andie: I called you three times and i left messages. Blane: Yeah? Well I didn't get them. My family... they're irresponsible about that stuff, you know? Andie: I waited for you this morning. Blane: Yeah? Where? Andie: Parking lot. I saw you and I thought you saw me. Blane: No. Andie: What about prom, Blane? Blane: Andie, I'm having a bad day. Can we talk later? Andie: No. What about prom? Blane: Why don't we meet after school? Andie: No! What abot prom? Blane: Andie, come on. Andie: Just say it. Blane: What? Andie: Just say it. I wanna hear you say it. Blane: Andie, please, all right? Andie: I wanna hear you say it. Blane: A month ago, I asked somebody else and I forgot. [Andie pushes him against a locker] Andie: You're a liar! You're a filthy, fucking, no-good liar. You don't have the guts to tell me the truth. Just say it! Blane: I'm not lying. Andie: Tell me! Blane: What do you want to hear? Andie: Tell me! Blane: What? Andie: You're ashamed to be seen with me. Blane: No, I am not! Andie: You're ashamed to go out with me. You're terrified that you're goddamn rich friends won't approve. [Andie hits Blane] Andie: Just say it! [Andie hits him again] Andie: Just tell me the truth! Blane: You don't understand that it has nothing at all do with you. [Andie runs away] Blane: [wipes a tear] Andie! Duckie: Good Morning! Welcome to another day of higher education! Duckie: I'm off like a dirty shirt. Andie: You know you're talking like that just because I'm going out with Blane Duckie: His name is Blane? Oh! That's a major appliance, that's not a name! Duckie: You know what an older women does for me? Iona: Changes your diapers? Duckie: Touché. Andie: What are you doing? Duckie: I had to use the powder room, so I figured I'd come in the back. Andie: I'm sure there are bathrooms all over the place! Duckie: I'm not nine, Andie, I know that. Andie: Were you here long? Duckie: No, no! Three, four... hours. Duckie: We don't have none of this stuff in the boy's room! Wait a minute! We don't got none of this... we don't got doors on the stalls in the boy's room, we don't have, what is this? What's this? We don't have a candy machine in the boy's room! Andie: I don't know what I'm doing! Iona: Wishful make-upping! Andie: May I admire you? Duckie: If you wish! Andie: If somebody doesn't believe in me, I can't believe in them. Blane: You couldn't buy her, though, that's what's killing you, isn't it? Stef? That's it, Stef. She thinks you're shit. And deep down, you know she's right. Duckie: This is an incredibly romantic moment, and you're ruining it for me! Duckie: It's the end of the month, they're out of toilet seat covers! Andie: Well, not nothing. I mean, I kissed him... Iona: Anywhere interesting? Steff: That girl was, is, and always will be nada! Duckie: It's called a sense of humor - you should get one - they're nice. Steff: Andie, you're a bitch. Duckie: Well, that's very nice. I'm glad. Well here's... here's the point, Andie. I'm not particularly concerned with whether or not you like me, because I live to like you and... and I can't like you anymore. So... so when you're feeling real low and... and dirty, and your heart is splattered all over hell, don't look to me to pump you back up 'cause... 'cause... 'cause maybe for the first time in your life I WON'T BE THERE! Andie: I can't believe you're saying this. Iona: Andie, hon. Listen, it's after 7:00. Don't waste good lip gloss. Duckie: [as he is leaving Andie's room with a juice box in hand] Drinking and driving don't mix. Duckie: That's why I ride a bike. Iona: [finishes stapling records to the window display] Applause, applause, APPLAUSE. Duckie: God, Andie, Id've died for you! Blane: How you doin'? Steff: Why don't you go to take a shower, you look like shit. Andie: You know, it's so insane that someone you've never met, never talked to can be your enemy. Bouncer at CATS: Love's a bitch, Duck. Love's a bitch. Andie: So what do you want to drink? Duckie: Oh you know, beer, scotch, juice box... whatever. Duckie: Yo man! Next time, I kick your ass! That'll be that! Steff: [arguing With Blane] What's her name... Eddie? |
