Animal House (1978) Movie Script
Take off that beanie.
Hey, we're supposed to
wear it until homecoming.
Don't be a fruit, okay?
Okay.
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Hi, there.
Doug Neidermeyer, Omega
membership chairman.
Larry Kroger. This
This is my roommate, Kent Dorfman.
Hi, there. Doug Neidermeyer.
And these are our name tag hostesses
Mandy Pepperidge and Babs Jansen.
Hi, there, Kent. Hi, Larry. Hi.
Welcome to Omega House.
Thank you. Nice to
Why don't we just go inside
and meet some of the guys, huh?
[LAUGHING]
A wimp and a blimp.
[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
There are a lot of
great guys here tonight,
so don't feel you have to meet everybody.
We just want you to enjoy
yourselves while you're here.
MAN: Well, Chip, I think you'll find
that Omega House has more activities
than most of the other
fraternities on campus
and they're far superior, I think
Mandy. Hi. Oh, right there.
Hi, there, fellas. Like you
to meet Ken and Lonnie.
Larry.
Ken, Lonnie, I'd like you to meet Larry.
Mohamet, Jugdish, Sidney, and Clayton.
Now just grab a seat, and
make yourselves at home
and don't be shy about helping
yourselves to punch and cookies.
Now, I'm not going to say that
Omega's the best house on campus
but a lot of outstanding guys
figure they'll pledge Omega,
or they won't pledge at all.
We do have more than
our share of campus leaders.
Something that never looks bad
on your permanent record, Chip.
Well, sure.
Everybody I talk to says Omega's
the best, but I hate to seem
you know, pushy.
Let the unacceptable
candidates worry about that
because after tonight they're You are
Kent.
I'm Greg Marmalard,
President of Omega House.
And I'd like you to meet my
friends, Mandy Pepperidge
-Hello.
-Hi.
-We already met.
-and Chip Diller.
How are you? Hi. How are you?
And over there is Terry
Auerback, captain of the swim team
and that's Carl Phillips,
editor of The Daily Faberian
and Clayton
Sidney, Jugless, Mohamet, Lonnie
Yeah, we already met.
Oh, super!
Then you'll have lots
to talk about, huh? Yeah.
I don't know, Lar. I don't
think you're trying very hard.
I hate this.
Look, no sweat.
My brother Fred was a
Delta. That makes me a legacy.
They gotta take me. It's like their law.
Don't worry. I'll put
in a good word for you.
Great. I heard Delta's
the worst house on campus.
["LOUIE, LOUIE" PLAYING]
[URINE SPLATTERING]
Excuse me, sir. Is this the Delta house?
Sure.
Come on in.
[PEOPLE WHOOPING]
Grab a brew. Don't cost nothing.
["MONEY" PLAYING]
I've never seen anything like
this before. I'll see you later.
Down to her underwear.
I had a boner. I know I did.
[GLASS BREAKING]
And bump you $20.
Hi, guys.
I'll see another ten.
You guys playing cards?
You want another beer?
Hi. You want a beer,
-Larry?
-Sure.
Nice fish, huh?
Hi, Larry. I'm Robert
Hoover, chapter president.
Hi, Robert.
Katy, have you seen Boon?
He disappeared the minute we got here.
He's probably upstairs talking to Otter.
No doubt. They're well-known homosexuals.
Have another beer, Larry.
She's just kidding.
Right, Bluto?
[WHISTLING]
You going out tonight, Otter?
Uh-huh.
Norma?
No. Let me give you a hint.
She's got a couple of major-league yabos.
Beverly.
No, but you're getting warmer.
Let me give you another hint.
Does this ring a bell?
[IN FALSETTO] "Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God!"
Marlene.
Don't tell me you're gonna
pork Marlene Desmond.
Pork?
Gonna hump her brains out, aren't you?
Boon, I anticipate a
deeply religious experience.
Why are you so interested in
my social life? Where's Katy?
Downstairs, pissed off about something.
She thinks you're an immature jerk, huh?
Yeah.
I don't take anything seriously.
-She'll take this seriously.
-Try it.
Hey, are you guys coming down?
This thing talk?
There happen to be 50 people downstairs
waiting to try and
get into this fraternity.
Otter, you are the rush chairman.
I think you should be
present at the rush party.
Hi. My name is Kent Dorfman.
Hey, Eric Stratton, Rush
Chairman. Damn glad to meet you.
D-Day.
Hi. Eric Stratton, Rush
Chairman. Damn glad to meet you.
Hi. That was Eric Stratton, Rush
Chairman. He was damn glad to meet you.
Oh, Larry. Good. I see you've met D-Day.
Good. You're having a
nice time. That's good. Good.
[CROAKING "WILLIAM TELL OVERTURE"]
Hey, Eric Stratton, Rush
Chairman. Damn glad to meet you.
Nice to meet you. Nice tie.
Is that a clip-on, by any chance?
Boon, come on over and check this out.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Pardon me. Excuse me.
Pardon me. Excuse me.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Oh, 90% rayon. Very nice.
Hi, boys, having a good time,
I hope? Excuse me, one second.
-Did your mother buy that for you?
-Yeah.
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. My brother.
Kent, come on over here.
I like the tie.
Great tie, don't you think?
Katy!
["LOUIE, LOUIE" PLAYING]
Hi. Eric Stratton, Rush
Chairman. Damn glad to meet you.
Katy.
Katy, Katy, Katy. Where you going?
Home, Donald.
We just got here.
No, Boon, you just got here.
I've been downstairs for an
hour entertaining some kid
from Pig's Knuckle, Arkansas.
Maybe we could drive up to
your folks' place this weekend.
Oh, fabulous.
My car, filled with your beer buddies
going up to empty my
parents' liquor cabinet.
It's too depressing to think about.
No.
Just gonna be you and me,
and Otter and another girl.
Is this really what you're
gonna do for the rest of your life?
What do you mean? I mean, hanging around
with a bunch of animals,
getting drunk every weekend.
No.
After I graduate, I'm
gonna get drunk every night.
[HUMMING TANGO]
Boon, I think I'm in love with a retard.
Is he bigger than me?
Greg,
what is the worst fraternity
on this campus?
That would be hard to say, sir.
They're each outstanding in their own way
Cut the horse shit, son. I got
their disciplinary files right here.
Who dumped a whole truckload
of Fizzies into the swim meet?
Who delivered the medical school
cadavers to the alumni dinner?
Every Halloween, the trees
are filled with underwear.
Every spring, the toilets explode.
You're talking about Delta, sir.
Of course I'm talking
about Delta, you twerp!
This year, it's gonna be different.
This year, we're going to
grab the bull by the balls
and kick those punks off campus.
What do you intend to do, sir?
Delta's already on probation.
They are?
Yes, sir.
Oh.
Then as of this moment, they're
on double secret probation.
Double secret probation, sir?
There is a little-known codicil
in the Faber College constitution
which gives the dean
unlimited power to preserve order
in time of campus emergency.
Find me a way to revoke Delta's charter.
You live next door.
Put Neidermeyer on it.
He's a sneaky little shit,
just like you, right?
The time has come for
someone to put his foot down
and that foot is me.
Larry Kroger. All in favor.
-Who cares?
-We need the dues.
Good. Larry Kroger is now
pledged to Delta Tau Chi.
Next slide, please, D-Day.
[SCREAMING]
[ALL JEERING]
Just a minute. Just a
minute. Just settle down.
This is Kent Dorfman. He's
a legacy from Harrisburg.
[ALL CLAMORING]
-Oh, come on, now.
-Okay.
-Now wait.
-Okay.
Okay, this guy is a
real zero. That's true.
Let's just think back to when
you guys were freshmen.
Boon, you had a face like
a pepperoni pizza, right?
And Stork here.
Everybody thought
the Stork was brain damaged.
I, myself, was so obnoxious
the seniors used to
beat me up once a week.
So this guy is a total loser?
Well, let me tell you
the story of another loser.
Get up!
Let's go! On your feet!
I State your name.
ALL: I state your name.
Do hereby pledge allegiance to the frat.
With liberty and fraternity for all.
Amen.
Sergeant at Arms.
Do your duty.
From now on, your Delta
Tau Chi name is Weasel.
From now on, your name is Mothball.
Kroger, your Delta Tau Chi name is Pinto.
-Why Pinto?
-[BURPING] Why not?
What's my Delta Tau Chi name?
Dorfman, I've given this a lot of thought.
From now on, your name is Flounder.
Flounder?
["LOUIE, LOUIE" PLAYING]
[SINGING "LOUIE, LOUIE" DRUNKENLY]
MAN: We now consecrate
the bond of obedience.
Assume the position.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Thank you, sir. May I have another?
Now what can we say
of John Milton's Paradise Lost?
Well, it's a very long poem.
It was written a long
time ago and I'm sure
a lot of you have difficulty understanding
exactly what Milton was trying to say.
Certainly we know that he was trying
to describe the struggle
between good and evil, right?
Okay.
The most intriguing character, as
we all know from our reading, was
Satan.
Now was Milton trying to tell us
that being bad was
more fun than being good?
Okay.
Don't write this down, but I find Milton
probably as boring as you find Milton.
Mrs. Milton found him boring, too.
He He's a little bit long-winded.
He doesn't translate very
well into our generation
and his jokes are terrible.
[BELL RINGING]
But that does not relieve you from
your responsibility for this material.
Now, I'm waiting for
reports from some of you.
Listen, I'm not joking. This is my job.
Come on, Mandy, honey.
You know I'd tell you.
Are you and Greg doing
the dirty deed or not?
Greg doesn't believe
in premarital intercourse.
Too bad.
I think he's just dreamy.
MAN: Jumping jacks!
And one, two, three, four!
And one, two
Company, halt!
Dress that line.
Dress that line, mister.
Dress that line, soldier.
Mister, hold my mount.
You fat, disgusting slob.
You're a goddamn disgrace!
A vicious mother, isn't he?
Yeah. He can't do that to our pledges.
Only we can do that to our pledges.
Redo those buttons.
Dress that belt buckle.
Straighten that cap. And
goddamn it, tuck up those pajamas!
Attention! Eyes front!
What's that on your chest, mister?
It's a pledge pin, sir.
A pledge pin?
On your uniform?
Hooked it. Shit.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
Just tell me, mister, what
fraternity would pledge
a man like you?
It's a Delta pin, sir.
Slice.
You'll report to the stable tonight
and every night at 1900 hours
and without that pledge pin!
Do you understand?
Your left arm is straight, but
you're not keeping your head down.
You're all worthless and weak!
Now, drop and give me 20!
Ho! Whoa!
Ho. Get back in rank! Attention!
Always try to hit through the ball.
Whoa, big fella. Whoa, whoa.
Trooper, whoa
[SCREAMING]
I gotta work on my game.
No, no, no. Don't think of it as work.
The whole point is just to enjoy yourself.
BOON: Now, I want you to fix Pinto
up, but it's gotta be a very special girl.
Listen. You don't have Now,
she should be decent-looking
but we're willing to trade
looks for a certain kind of
morally casual attitude.
Oh, you mean you want somebody
he can screw on the first date.
Well put. You see,
Pinto's never been laid.
Hey. What'd I say?
Cut it out. Look, you guys.
Don't embarrass me in front of Dave, okay?
He's the only professor I like. I know.
Mr. Jennings is a wonderful teacher.
No, teaching's a way of paying the rent,
until I finish my novel.
How long you been working on it?
Four and a half years.
Must be very good.
It's a piece of shit.
Would anybody like to smoke some pot?
Yeah.
You ever smoked before?
Sure.
When did you ever smoke pot?
I've done a lot of things
you don't know about.
Yeah?
[SPUTTERING]
I won't go schizo, will I?
There's a distinct possibility.
Is this right?
Just try not to drool quite
so much on the end of it.
[COUGHS]
Hey, hey, Paula
-I wanna marry you
-I wanna marry you
-Hey, hey, Paula
-Hey, hey, Paula
-Nobody else could ever do
-Nobody else could ever do
-You've waited
-You've waited so long
-For school to be through
-For school to get through
Be through, get through, Paula
-I can't wait no more for you
-I can't wait no more for you
Okay.
So that means that our whole solar system
could be like one tiny atom
in the fingernail of
some other giant being.
[LAUGHING] This is too much.
That means that
one tiny atom in my fingernail could be
Could be one little tiny universe.
Could I buy some pot from you?
[SNORTING]
Whoa!
Give me that.
Yeah.
Yeah, baby.
Good baby, yes.
It's all right. You stupid son of a
Dorfman, for God's sake, what kind
of man hits a defenseless animal?
I've got a good mind
to smash your fat face.
Yeah, but Now listen up,
you nauseating pile of blubber,
your days are numbered here at Faber.
You and all your sick Delta buddies.
Meantime, your ass belongs to me.
Now, drop and give me 20!
Yes, but Hit it!
Oh, Trooper, baby. Baby, Trooper.
Come here, baby. Come here.
Yeah, baby, yeah. Come here.
Yeah, cutie-pie, come on.
Yeah.
I want these quarters
standing tall by 0900 tomorrow.
You got that?
Yes, sir.
Brother D-Day. Brother Bluto.
Do you hate that ying-yang?
Who?
Neidermeyer. You hate his guts, right?
-I guess so.
-You guess so?
Yes, I hate him. I hate his guts.
Good. Now, we have an old saying in Delta:
"Don't get mad. Get even."
[WHISPERING] Now, what we're gonna do is
Nice horsey. Good.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
He's in there.
Oh, boy, is this great?
Now finish it, Flounder.
Are you kidding?
I never shot anything before in my life.
I thought you hated Neidermeyer's guts.
I do.
And what about that horse?
Is there anything in the world
you hate as much as that horse?
Get it over with, Kent.
Just blanks, right? Right.
[BELLOWING]
[DEBRIS FALLING]
What's going on?
Holy shit!
There were blanks in that gun.
I didn't even point the gun at him.
Holy shit!
There were blanks in that gun!
Maybe he had a heart attack.
Holy shit!
[ALL SCREAMING]
If you want the homecoming
parade in my town, you have to pay.
Carmine, I don't think it's right that
you should extort money from the college.
Look.
As the mayor of Faber,
I've got big responsibilities.
And these parades are very expensive.
You're using my police,
my sanitation people,
my three Oldsmobiles.
So, if you mention extortion again
I'll have your legs broken.
Well, I'm sure I can arrange a nice
little honorarium from the student fund.
And another thing,
you better sit on that
zoo fraternity of yours.
I don't want no drunken riots in my town.
Don't worry, Carmine. I've got
those boys just where I want them.
We'll have the best homecoming
parade Faber's ever had.
["WONDERFUL WORLD" PLAYING]
Mandy.
Mandy Pepperidge. Well, I
haven't seen you since we
Go away.
I'm sorry. I can only stay a minute.
Let me buy you some lunch.
Oh, you've got your lunch.
Well, how about some milk then?
You got your milk, too.
Can I just massage
your thighs while you eat?
Do I have to leave?
Is this any way to
treat an intimate friend?
I asked you never to speak to
me again. Now will you go away?
[SNORTING]
[GROANING]
I do hope we're not interrupting
anything, Mandy, honey.
Well, if you must know
Eric was just leaving.
No, I wasn't.
I could make you leave if you ask me
Bluto! Hey, I think you
know everybody here.
-Greg, really, can't you
-No, don't worry.
Just keep your hands and
feet away from his mouth.
Don't you have any respect for yourself?
This is absolutely gross.
That boy is a P-I-G. Pig.
See if you can guess what I am now.
[SCREAMS]
I'm a zit. Get it?
All right, you bastard,
let's go. Right here.
["LET'S DANCE" PLAYING]
Come on, Blutarsky!
Hey, why don't we go out tonight?
Otter, don't flatter
yourself. It wasn't that great.
[MOUTHS]
Food fight!
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
MANDY: Oh, Greg. Look.
It's a star. Look.
Let's make a wish. Come on.
Starlight, star bright
Hey, wait a minute. That's not a star.
-Oh.
-It's moving too fast.
Probably a 707.
Those babies really
can move across the sky.
Greg, is anything happening yet?
My arm's kind of tired.
I'm sorry, Mandy.
It's just that thing with the
Deltas. Has me a little distracted.
I know.
God knows how they've molested women.
Anything?
Maybe a little faster.
Yeah. How's that?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
I'll bet that Eric Stratton's
lucky he's not in jail.
I'll say.
What?
You'll say what?
I'll say what?
You said, "I'll say," when I said
that Eric Stratton should be put in jail.
-I'm trying to figure out
-Darn it, Greg.
If you're not even gonna
try, I'm just gonna stop.
Mandy, I
Good night, Greg.
Good night, Mandy.
[GIRLS CHATTERING]
[SHRIEKING]
Stop, stop, stop.
-Trying to steal your boyfriend?
-Her boyfriend.
And not your boyfriend? Not my boyfriend.
Speaking of boyfriends, Mandy,
how was your date with Greg?
Good night. ALL: Good night.
[THUDDING]
That's it.
She broke our date.
Washing her hair.
Dead mother.
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 were wrong.
Every one?
Those assholes must have
stolen the wrong fucking exam.
Oh, God, look what just creeped in.
Well, well, well.
Looks like somebody forgot there's
a rule against alcoholic beverages
in fraternities on probation.
What a tool.
I didn't get that, son. What was that?
I said what a shame
that a few bad apples have to
spoil a good time for everyone
by breaking the rules.
Put a sock in it, boy
or else you'll be out of here
like shit through a goose.
Yes, sir.
Now, have you boys seen
your grade point average, yet?
Well, have you?
I have, sir.
I know it's a little below par
It's more than a little
below par, Mr. Hoover.
It stinks!
It's the lowest on campus.
It's the lowest in Faber history!
Well, sir,
we're hoping that our midterm
grades will really help our average.
[LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]
Laugh now,
because you clowns have
been on double secret probation
since the beginning of this semester.
Double secret probation?
And that means, one more
slip-up, one more mistake,
and this fraternity of yours has had it
at Faber.
Well, that was pleasant. Nice
of him to stop by, don't you think?
We've gotta do something.
He's serious this time.
I think he knows about the exams.
He's right. You're right.
We gotta do something.
-Absolutely.
-You know what we gotta do?
-Toga party.
-Toga party.
We're on double secret
probation, whatever that is.
We can't afford to have a toga party.
You guys up for a toga party?
Toga! Toga!
I think they like the idea, Hoov.
Oh, Otter, please don't do this.
I got news for you, pal. They're
gonna nail us no matter what we do.
So we might as well have a good time.
Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!
It's not gonna be an orgy.
It's a toga party.
Honestly, Boon, you're 21 years old.
In six months, you're gonna graduate,
and tomorrow night you're gonna
wrap yourself up in a bed sheet
and pour grain alcohol all over your head.
It's cute, but I think
I'll pass this time.
Want me to go alone?
Baby, I don't want you to go at all.
It's a fraternity party. I'm in
the fraternity. How can I miss it?
I'll write you a note. I'll
say you're too well to attend.
That's funny. Very funny.
Where'd he get the wheels?
From his brother. Yeah?
He's letting him use it for a week or so.
Flounder's bringing his
girlfriend up for the weekend.
Flounder, I am appointing you
pledge representative
to the social committee.
Gee, Otter. Thanks. What do I have to do?
It means you have to
drive us to the Food King!
Let's go. Let's go!
Food King, Food King, Food King.
Let's go. Food King, Food King, Food King!
[WHISTLING]
Otter, please.
What are you doing?
I'm fixing your sweater.
There you go.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Now, look. Stick by me, and
keep your sweater closed.
Hey, I could get in trouble.
That's right. So, be cool.
Mine's bigger than that.
I beg your pardon?
Oh, my cucumber. It's bigger.
Vegetables can be really
sensuous, don't you think?
No.
Vegetables are sensual.
People are sensuous.
Right. Sensual. That's what I meant.
By the way, my name is Eric Stratton.
They call me Otter.
My name's Marion.
They call me Mrs. Wormer.
We have a Dean Wormer at Faber.
What a coincidence.
I have a husband named
Dean Wormer at Faber.
You still want to show me your cucumber?
Nothing for me today, thanks.
It looks like you gained
some weight since you came in.
It's just a prank.
I'm pledging a fraternity.
Don't sweat it, sweetie. I won't tell.
Well, we're having a little party
at the Delta Tau Chi house tonight
and you are cordially invited.
I'm old enough to be your mother. Almost.
Besides, I have to go to the
goddamn senior honors dinner tonight.
Well, maybe some other time.
Doubtful.
Maybe?
So if you're not busy, you
wanna go to a fraternity party?
Will I be home by 12:00?
Sure. Any time you
want. I'll pick you up at
My dad would kill me if he
knew I was going to a frat house.
Is it okay if I meet you there?
Is it okay?
It's terrific!
["TWISTING THE NIGHT AWAY" PLAYING]
Well, girls, welcome to the
Delta toga party. Come in.
Here, let me take your coat.
Great pair of togas.
Hey, why don't you help yourself
to some delicious Delta punch
and I'll join you in a minute.
Otter, this is Sissy,
my steady girl, Sissy.
Sis, this is the guy I
was telling you about.
Hi.
Wow. You're even prettier
than Kent said you were.
What a great dress. Yeah.
Listen, you two talk while
I get some punch for us, okay?
-Good idea.
-All right.
Kent's really a lucky guy. Why
don't we go sit down somewhere?
I gave my love a
cherry, that had no stone
I gave my love a
chicken, that had no bones
I gave my love a story,
that had no end I gave
Sorry.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-You look great.
-So do you.
I had to wait until my folks went out.
Get me some more punch.
Thanks. Got a lot of catching up to do.
You wanna dance?
-Huh?
-Do you wanna dance?
Yeah!
[SINGING "SHOUT"]
Hey, Otis!
[WHISTLING]
Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeah!
[MOUTHING WORDS]
Gator!
[PEOPLE CHEERING]
[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]
Mrs. Wormer, I'm so glad you could come.
Cut the crap.
Give me a drink.
This is Hoover's room.
Oh, yeah? It's neat.
[ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]
I think it's locked or something.
Just a minute.
Fuck her. Fuck her brains out.
Suck her tits. Squeeze her
buns. You know she wants it.
For shame! Lawrence, I'm surprised at you!
Don't listen to that jack-off.
Look at those gazongas.
You'll never get a better chance.
If you lay one finger on that
poor, sweet, helpless girl,
you'll despise yourself forever!
I'm proud of you, Lawrence.
You homo.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
My fault?
For Christ's sake, Carmine,
how the hell could it be my fault?
One of those goddamn
fraternities, I guess.
I don't know, but I got a pretty
good goddamn idea which one!
I'm gonna string them up by the
balls! That's what I'm gonna do!
[LAUGHING]
I just bet it was that Eric Stratton.
You know that for sure?
Well, no, but, you'd be surprised
at some of the girls he's had.
Very surprised.
[CHATTERING]
Must've been some party.
Unbelievable!
A new low. I'm so ashamed.
Gee, I'm almost sorry I missed it.
What'd you do? Human sacrifice?
No, just some harmless
fun. Buy me a dinner tonight?
Can't tonight. Busy.
Busy tonight?
[CLEARING THROAT]
[GAVEL POUNDING]
Please take your seats.
This meeting of the disciplinary
council will now come to order.
We'll waive minutes and proceed directly
with charges against Delta Tau Chi.
Sergeant at Arms?
[GAVEL POUNDING]
[HISSING]
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.
I'd like to address these
charges one at a time, if I may.
You'll get your chance, smart guy.
Now, get on with it.
Second, that for the fifth
consecutive semester,
Delta has achieved a deficient
aggregate grade point average.
Half the houses on campus
didn't make grades last year.
You will speak when you're told
to speak and not before! Read.
Third, that the Delta

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.

Well done.
Robert Hoover will speak
on behalf of Delta House.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I don't think you can
fully judge a fraternity
without looking at the positive
qualities of the people in it.
The Delta House has a long
tradition of existence to its members
and to the community at large.
I think we've heard enough, Mr. Chairman.
I was told I'd have a chance to

Will you tell those assholes to shut up?
Hey, shut up, you assholes!
Mr. President, do we have
to listen to any more of this?
Point of parliamentary procedure.
Don't screw around.
They're serious this time.
Take it easy. I'm in Pre-Law, man.
I thought you're Pre-Med?
What's the difference?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief.
What the hell do you think he's up to?
The issue here is not
whether we broke a few rules or
took a few liberties
with our female party guests.
We did.
But you can't hold a
whole fraternity responsible
for the behavior of a few
sick, perverted 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?
[ALL AGREEING]
I put it to you, Greg!
Isn't this an indictment of
our entire American society?
Well, you can do what you want to us,
but we are not going to
sit here and listen to you
badmouth the United States of America!
Gentlemen!
MAN: Order!
[HUMMING "THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER"]
You're not walking out on
this one, mister. You're finished.
No more Delta!
You bought it this time, buster!
I am calling your national office!
I am going to revoke your charter!
And if you wise guys try
one more thing, one more,
I'm going to kick you out of this college!
No more fun of any kind!

When my father was in
Korea, see, he wasn't a flyer.
He was in the infantry, and
he was an officer, of course.
How does it feel to be
an independent, Schoenstein?
How does it feel to be
an asshole, Neidermeyer?
What did he say?
Hoover says they won't even let us
enter a float in the homecoming parade.
Some stupid zombies get to ride

Hey, look!

I'll kill you, you scumbag,

They took the bar! The whole fucking bar!

Fred wrote the mileage down!
He wants it back by Sunday.
Please don't take the car!
It's very important!
He'll get very mad at me!
Get in. You can't No!

how should I handle it?
Just mention modern art, civil rights

Fawn's dead.
She's dead?
Did she put you up to this? Oh, that

I'm terribly, terribly sorry, Frank.
I just talked to her last week.
She was gonna make a pot for me.

I really shouldn't impose on you.
No, really. Anything.

Where do you go to school?
I wonder where Otter is.
Maybe I should go

Looks like I missed something.
Yeah, you did.
We're all officially kicked out of school.
Wormer just got our grades.
They kicked us out of
school? That makes sense.
Hey! What's this lying around shit?
What the hell are we
supposed to do, you moron?
War's over, man. Wormer
dropped the big one.
What? Over? Did you say, "over"?
Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the

Of course I'm talking
about Delta, you twerp!
This year, it's gonna be different.
This year, we're going to
grab the bull by the balls
and kick those punks off campus.
What do you intend to do, sir?
Delta's already on probation.
They are?
Yes, sir.
Oh.
Then as of this moment, they're
on double secret probation.
Double secret probation, sir?
There is a little-known codicil
in the Faber College constitution

I State your name.
ALL: I state your name.
Do hereby pledge allegiance to the frat.
With liberty and fraternity for all.
Amen.
Sergeant at Arms.
Do your duty.
From now on, your Delta
Tau Chi name is Weasel.
From now on, your name is Mothball.
Kroger, your Delta Tau Chi name is Pinto.
-Why Pinto?
-[BURPING] Why not?
What's my Delta Tau Chi name?
Dorfman, I've given this a lot of thought.
From now on, your name is Flounder.
Flounder?

the bond of obedience.
Assume the position.
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Thank you, sir! May I have another?
Thank you, sir. May I have another?
Now what can we say
of John Milton's Paradise Lost?
Well, it's a very long poem.
It was written a long
time ago and I'm sure
a lot of you have difficulty understanding
exactly what Milton was trying to say.
Certainly we know that he was trying
to describe the struggle
between good and evil, right?
Okay.
The most intriguing character, as
we all know from our reading, was
Satan.
Now was Milton trying to tell us
that being bad was
more fun than being good?
Okay.
Don't write this down, but I find Milton
probably as boring as you find Milton.
Mrs. Milton found him boring, too.
He He's a little bit long-winded.
He doesn't translate very
well into our generation
and his jokes are terrible.
[BELL RINGING]
But that does not relieve you from
your responsibility for this material.
Now, I'm waiting for
reports from some of you.
Listen, I'm not joking. This is my job.
Come on, Mandy, honey.
You know I'd tell you.
Are you and Greg doing
the dirty deed or not?
Greg doesn't believe
in premarital intercourse.
Too bad.
I think he's just dreamy.
MAN: Jumping jacks!
And one, two, three, four!
And one, two
Company, halt!
Dress that line.
Dress that line, mister.
Dress that line, soldier.
Mister, hold my mount.
You fat, disgusting slob.
You're a goddamn disgrace!
A vicious mother, isn't he?
Yeah. He can't do that to our pledges.
Only we can do that to our pledges.
Redo those buttons.
Dress that belt buckle.
Straighten that cap. And
goddamn it, tuck up those pajamas!
Attention! Eyes front!
What's that on your chest, mister?
It's a pledge pin, sir.
A pledge pin?
On your uniform?
Hooked it. Shit.
[GLASS SHATTERING]
Just tell me, mister, what
fraternity would pledge
a man like you?
It's a Delta pin, sir.
Slice.
You'll report to the stable tonight
and every night at 1900 hours
and without that pledge pin!
Do you understand?
Your left arm is straight, but
you're not keeping your head down.
You're all worthless and weak!
Now, drop and give me 20!
Ho! Whoa!
Ho. Get back in rank! Attention!
Always try to hit through the ball.
Whoa, big fella. Whoa, whoa.
Trooper, whoa
[SCREAMING]
I gotta work on my game.
No, no, no. Don't think of it as work.
The whole point is just to enjoy yourself.
BOON: Now, I want you to fix Pinto
up, but it's gotta be a very special girl.
Listen. You don't have Now,
she should be decent-looking
but we're willing to trade
looks for a certain kind of
morally casual attitude.
Oh, you mean you want somebody
he can screw on the first date.
Well put. You see,
Pinto's never been laid.
Hey. What'd I say?
Cut it out. Look, you guys.
Don't embarrass me in front of Dave, okay?
He's the only professor I like. I know.
Mr. Jennings is a wonderful teacher.
No, teaching's a way of paying the rent,
until I finish my novel.
How long you been working on it?
Four and a half years.
Must be very good.
It's a piece of shit.
Would anybody like to smoke some pot?
Yeah.
You ever smoked before?
Sure.
When did you ever smoke pot?
I've done a lot of things
you don't know about.
Yeah?
[SPUTTERING]
I won't go schizo, will I?
There's a distinct possibility.
Is this right?
Just try not to drool quite
so much on the end of it.
[COUGHS]
Hey, hey, Paula
-I wanna marry you
-I wanna marry you
-Hey, hey, Paula
-Hey, hey, Paula
-Nobody else could ever do

-You've waited so long
-For school to be through
-For school to get through
Be through, get through, Paula
-I can't wait no more for you
-I can't wait no more for you
Okay.
So that means that our whole solar system
could be like one tiny atom
in the fingernail of
some other giant being.
[LAUGHING] This is too much.
That means that
one tiny atom in my fingernail could be
Could be one little tiny universe.
Could I buy some pot from you?
[SNORTING]
Whoa!
Give me that.
Yeah.
Yeah, baby.
Good baby, yes.
It's all right. You stupid son of a
Dorfman, for God's sake, what kind
of man hits a defenseless animal?
I've got a good mind
to smash your fat face.
Yeah, but Now listen up,
you nauseating pile of blubber,
your days are numbered here at Faber.
You and all your sick Delta buddies.
Meantime, your ass belongs to me.
Now, drop and give me 20!
Yes, but Hit it!
Oh, Trooper, baby. Baby, Trooper.
Come here, baby. Come here.
Yeah, baby, yeah. Come here.
Yeah, cutie-pie, come on.
Yeah.
I want these quarters
standing tall by 0900 tomorrow.
You got that?
Yes, sir.
Brother D-Day. Brother Bluto.
Do you hate that ying-yang?
Who?
Neidermeyer. You hate his guts, right?
-I guess so.
-You guess so?
Yes, I hate him. I hate his guts.
Good. Now, we have an old saying in Delta:
"Don't get mad. Get even."
[WHISPERING] Now, what we're gonna do is
Nice horsey. Good.
Come on. Let's go. Let's go.
He's in there.
Oh, boy, is this great?
Now finish it, Flounder.
Are you kidding?
I never shot anything before in my life.
I thought you hated Neidermeyer's guts.
I do.
And what about that horse?
Is there anything in the world
you hate as much as that horse?
Get it over with, Kent.
Just blanks, right? Right.
[BELLOWING]
[DEBRIS FALLING]
What's going on?
Holy shit!
There were blanks in that gun.
I didn't even point the gun at him.
Holy shit!
There were blanks in that gun!
Maybe he had a heart attack.
Holy shit!
[ALL SCREAMING]
If you want the homecoming
parade in my town, you have to pay.
Carmine, I don't think it's right that
you should extort money from the college.
Look.
As the mayor of Faber,
I've got big responsibilities.
And these parades are very expensive.
You're using my police,
my sanitation people,
my three Oldsmobiles.
So, if you mention extortion again
I'll have your legs broken.
Well, I'm sure I can arrange a nice
little honorarium from the student fund.
And another thing,
you better sit on that
zoo fraternity of yours.
I don't want no drunken riots in my town.
Don't worry, Carmine. I've got
those boys just where I want them.
We'll have the best homecoming
parade Faber's ever had.
["WONDERFUL WORLD" PLAYING]
Mandy.
Mandy Pepperidge. Well, I
haven't seen you since we
Go away.
I'm sorry. I can only stay a minute.
Let me buy you some lunch.
Oh, you've got your lunch.
Well, how about some milk then?
You got your milk, too.
Can I just massage
your thighs while you eat?
Do I have to leave?
Is this any way to
treat an intimate friend?
I asked you never to speak to
me again. Now will you go away?
[SNORTING]
[GROANING]
I do hope we're not interrupting
anything, Mandy, honey.
Well, if you must know
Eric was just leaving.
No, I wasn't.
I could make you leave if you ask me
Bluto! Hey, I think you
know everybody here.
-Greg, really, can't you
-No, don't worry.
Just keep your hands and
feet away from his mouth.
Don't you have any respect for yourself?
This is absolutely gross.
That boy is a P-I-G. Pig.
See if you can guess what I am now.
[SCREAMS]
I'm a zit. Get it?
All right, you bastard,
let's go. Right here.
["LET'S DANCE" PLAYING]
Come on, Blutarsky!
Hey, why don't we go out tonight?
Otter, don't flatter
yourself. It wasn't that great.
[MOUTHS]
Food fight!
[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]
MANDY: Oh, Greg. Look.
It's a star. Look.
Let's make a wish. Come on.
Starlight, star bright
Hey, wait a minute. That's not a star.
-Oh.
-It's moving too fast.
Probably a 707.
Those babies really
can move across the sky.
Greg, is anything happening yet?
My arm's kind of tired.
I'm sorry, Mandy.
It's just that thing with the
Deltas. Has me a little distracted.
I know.
God knows how they've molested women.
Anything?
Maybe a little faster.
Yeah. How's that?
-Yeah.
-Yeah?
I'll bet that Eric Stratton's
lucky he's not in jail.
I'll say.
What?
You'll say what?
I'll say what?
You said, "I'll say," when I said
that Eric Stratton should be put in jail.
-I'm trying to figure out
-Darn it, Greg.
If you're not even gonna
try, I'm just gonna stop.
Mandy, I
Good night, Greg.
Good night, Mandy.
[GIRLS CHATTERING]
[SHRIEKING]
Stop, stop, stop.
-Trying to steal your boyfriend?
-Her boyfriend.
And not your boyfriend? Not my boyfriend.
Speaking of boyfriends, Mandy,
how was your date with Greg?
Good night. ALL: Good night.
[THUDDING]
That's it.
She broke our date.
Washing her hair.
Dead mother.
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 were wrong.
Every one?
Those assholes must have
stolen the wrong fucking exam.
Oh, God, look what just creeped in.
Well, well, well.
Looks like somebody forgot there's
a rule against alcoholic beverages
in fraternities on probation.
What a tool.
I didn't get that, son. What was that?
I said what a shame
that a few bad apples have to
spoil a good time for everyone
by breaking the rules.
Put a sock in it, boy
or else you'll be out of here
like shit through a goose.
Yes, sir.
Now, have you boys seen
your grade point average, yet?
Well, have you?
I have, sir.
I know it's a little below par
It's more than a little
below par, Mr. Hoover.
It stinks!
It's the lowest on campus.
It's the lowest in Faber history!
Well, sir,
we're hoping that our midterm
grades will really help our average.
[LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]
Laugh now,
because you clowns have
been on double secret probation
since the beginning of this semester.
Double secret probation?
And that means, one more
slip-up, one more mistake,
and this fraternity of yours has had it
at Faber.
Well, that was pleasant. Nice
of him to stop by, don't you think?
We've gotta do something.
He's serious this time.
I think he knows about the exams.
He's right. You're right.
We gotta do something.
-Absolutely.
-You know what we gotta do?
-Toga party.
-Toga party.
We're on double secret
probation, whatever that is.
We can't afford to have a toga party.
You guys up for a toga party?
Toga! Toga!
I think they like the idea, Hoov.
Oh, Otter, please don't do this.
I got news for you, pal. They're
gonna nail us no matter what we do.
So we might as well have a good time.
Toga! Toga! Toga! Toga!
It's not gonna be an orgy.
It's a toga party.
Honestly, Boon, you're 21 years old.
In six months, you're gonna graduate,
and tomorrow night you're gonna
wrap yourself up in a bed sheet
and pour grain alcohol all over your head.
It's cute, but I think
I'll pass this time.
Want me to go alone?
Baby, I don't want you to go at all.
It's a fraternity party. I'm in
the fraternity. How can I miss it?
I'll write you a note. I'll
say you're too well to attend.
That's funny. Very funny.
Where'd he get the wheels?
From his brother. Yeah?
He's letting him use it for a week or so.
Flounder's bringing his
girlfriend up for the weekend.
Flounder, I am appointing you
pledge representative
to the social committee.
Gee, Otter. Thanks. What do I have to do?
It means you have to
drive us to the Food King!
Let's go. Let's go!
Food King, Food King, Food King.
Let's go. Food King, Food King, Food King!
[WHISTLING]
Otter, please.
What are you doing?
I'm fixing your sweater.
There you go.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Now, look. Stick by me, and
keep your sweater closed.
Hey, I could get in trouble.
That's right. So, be cool.
Mine's bigger than that.
I beg your pardon?
Oh, my cucumber. It's bigger.
Vegetables can be really
sensuous, don't you think?
No.
Vegetables are sensual.
People are sensuous.
Right. Sensual. That's what I meant.
By the way, my name is Eric Stratton.
They call me Otter.
My name's Marion.
They call me Mrs. Wormer.
We have a Dean Wormer at Faber.
What a coincidence.
I have a husband named
Dean Wormer at Faber.
You still want to show me your cucumber?
Nothing for me today, thanks.
It looks like you gained
some weight since you came in.
It's just a prank.
I'm pledging a fraternity.
Don't sweat it, sweetie. I won't tell.
Well, we're having a little party
at the Delta Tau Chi house tonight
and you are cordially invited.
I'm old enough to be your mother. Almost.
Besides, I have to go to the
goddamn senior honors dinner tonight.
Well, maybe some other time.
Doubtful.
Maybe?
So if you're not busy, you
wanna go to a fraternity party?
Will I be home by 12:00?
Sure. Any time you
want. I'll pick you up at

knew I was going to a frat house.

Delta toga party. Come in.
Here, let me take your coat.

to some delicious Delta punch
and I'll join you in a minute.
Otter, this is Sissy,
my steady girl, Sissy.

was telling you about.

Wow. You're even prettier
than Kent said you were.
What a great dress. Yeah.

I get some punch for us, okay?
-Good idea.
-All right.
Kent's really a lucky guy. Why
don't we go sit down somewhere?

cherry, that had no stone
I gave my love a
chicken, that had no bones
I gave my love a story,
that had no end I gave

-Hi.
-Hi.
-You look great.
-So do you.
I had to wait until my folks went out.
Get me some more punch.
Thanks. Got a lot of catching up to do.

-Do you wanna dance?
Yeah!

Give me a drink.
This is Hoover's room.

I think it's locked or something.
Just a minute.
Fuck her. Fuck her brains out.
Suck her tits. Squeeze her
buns. You know she wants it.
For shame! Lawrence, I'm surprised at you!
Don't listen to that jack-off.
Look at those gazongas.
You'll never get a better chance.
If you lay one finger on that
poor, sweet, helpless girl,
you'll despise yourself forever!
I'm proud of you, Lawrence.
You homo.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
My fault?
For Christ's sake, Carmine,
how the hell could it be my fault?
One of those goddamn
fraternities, I guess.
I don't know, but I got a pretty
good goddamn idea which one!
I'm gonna string them up by the
balls! That's what I'm gonna do!
[LAUGHING]
I just bet it was that Eric Stratton.
You know that for sure?
Well, no, but, you'd be surprised
at some of the girls he's had.
Very surprised.
[CHATTERING]
Must've been some party.
Unbelievable!
A new low. I'm so ashamed.
Gee, I'm almost sorry I missed it.
What'd you do? Human sacrifice?
No, just some harmless
fun. Buy me a dinner tonight?
Can't tonight. Busy.
Busy tonight?

[GAVEL POUNDING]
Please take your seats.
This meeting of the disciplinary
council will now come to order.
We'll waive minutes and proceed directly
with charges against Delta Tau Chi.
Sergeant at Arms?
[GAVEL POUNDING]
[HISSING]
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.
I'd like to address these
charges one at a time, if I may.
You'll get your chance, smart guy.
Now, get on with it.
Second, that for the fifth
consecutive semester,
Delta has achieved a deficient
aggregate grade point average.
Half the houses on campus
didn't make grades last year.
You will speak when you're told
to speak and not before! Read.
Third, that the Delta
fraternity routinely provided
dangerous narcotic diet
pills to its members during
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.
[GAVEL POUNDING]
These are the charges as recorded
this day 15 November, 1962.
Faithfully submitted,
Douglas C. Neidermeyer,
Sergeant at Arms.
[HISSING]
Well done.
Robert Hoover will speak
on behalf of Delta House.
[CLEARS THROAT]
I don't think you can
fully judge a fraternity
without looking at the positive
qualities of the people in it.
The Delta House has a long
tradition of existence to its members
and to the community at large.
I think we've heard enough, Mr. Chairman.
I was told I'd have a chance to

Will you tell those assholes to shut up?
Hey, shut up, you assholes!
Mr. President, do we have
to listen to any more of this?
Point of parliamentary procedure.
Don't screw around.
They're serious this time.
Take it easy. I'm in Pre-Law, man.
I thought you're Pre-Med?
What's the difference?
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief.
What the hell do you think he's up to?
The issue here is not
whether we broke a few rules or
took a few liberties
with our female party guests.
We did.
But you can't hold a
whole fraternity responsible
for the behavior of a few
sick, perverted 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?
[ALL AGREEING]
I put it to you, Greg!
Isn't this an indictment of
our entire American society?

but we are not going to

Greg, I hate to see her
make such a chump out of you.
What are you saying?
I'm saying that Mandy and
Eric Stratton are having an affair.
But, I love you, Greg.
That's why I had to tell you.
Babs, I want you to do something for me.
["TOSSIN' AND TURNIN' " PLAYING]
Good.
I'm out of here. Katy?
-Yeah?
-Good luck.
[MAKING KISSING NOISE]
Stop blubbering.
When I get through with this
thing, you won't even recognize it.
Come on. Flounder.
You can't spend your whole
life worrying about your mistakes.
You fucked up. You trusted us.
Hey, make the best of it.
Maybe we can help you.
That's easy for you to say!
What am I gonna tell Fred?
I'll tell you what.
I'll swear you were doing a
great job taking care of his car,
but you parked it out back last
night and this morning, it was gone.
D-Day takes care of the
wreck! We report it to the police.
Your brother's insurance
company buys him a new car.
Will that work?
It's got to work better than the truth.
My advice to you is
to start drinking heavily.
You'd better listen to him,
Flounder. He's in Pre-Med.
[WHISTLING]
There you go now,
just leave everything to me.
Hi, Katy.
I missed you.
-Boon, I was gonna try and call you
-MAN: Where are they, Katy?
Boon, I don't know what to say.
-[DOOR SLAMMING]
-Boon, wait!
-Shit.
-Must be in the kitchen.
What's the matter?
Yeah, there they are.
Are you sure, Babs? Why
would Mandy want to see me?
Well, I'm sure I don't know,
Otter. You'll just have to ask her,
as soon as you can get there.
Well, do you know the
Rainbow Motel on Old Mill Road?
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Bye.
Teddy!
Did you get the grade
reports on the Deltas yet?
Yes, I have it right here.
Why didn't you tell me?
[CHUCKLING]
Good.
Good, good, good.
[WHISTLING]
It's Mr. Thoughtful with
a dozen roses for you.
One, two, three, four, five.
Well, looks like we're gonna
be a couple of flowers short,
so some of you boys are gonna have to
Where are the other two?
Stratton and Schoenstein?
We looked everywhere, sir, but
Never mind, it doesn't matter.
You gentlemen seen
your midterm grades yet?
Well, they're not posted yet, sir.
I've seen them.
Mr. Kroger, two Cs, two Ds, and an F.
That's a 1.2 grade average.
Congratulations, Kroger, you're
at the top of the Delta pledge class.
Mr. Dorfman.
Hello.
0.2.
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no
way to go through life, son.
Mr. Hoover, president of Delta House, 1.6.
Four Cs and an F, a fine example you set.
Daniel Simpson Day has
no grade point average.
All courses incomplete.
Mister
Mr. Blutarsky.
0.0.
Now, I want you to tell
Mr. Stratton and Mr. Schoenstein
exactly what I'm about to tell you now.
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.
Well?
Well?
Out with it.
[RETCHING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Relax, Greg, honey.
You know, I know, everybody knows
that Otter certainly had it coming.
I don't think the Deltas will
be giving us any more trouble.
No.
Greg, honey, is it
supposed to be this soft?
Christ!
Seven years of college down the drain.
Might as well join
the fucking Peace Corps.
My mother's gonna kill me.
I knew it. I knew it,
I knew it, I knew it.
I can't believe I threw up
in front of Dean Wormer.
Face it, Kent. You threw
up on Dean Wormer.
[DOOR CLOSING]
Jesus Christ. What
happened? You look grotesque.
Some of the Omegas did
a little dance on my face.
Who was it?
It was Greggie and Dougie and
some of the other Hitler youth.
Why, what'd you do?
I don't know. They're
just animals, I guess.
Looks like I missed something.
Yeah, you did.
We're all officially kicked out of school.
Wormer just got our grades.
They kicked us out of
school? That makes sense.
Hey! What's this lying around shit?
What the hell are we
supposed to do, you moron?
War's over, man. Wormer
dropped the big one.
What? Over? Did you say, "over"?
Nothing is over until we decide it is!
Was it over when the
Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
-Hell, no!
-Germans?
Forget it, he's rolling.
And it ain't over now
because when the going gets tough
the tough get going!
Who's with me? Let's go! Come on!
[YELLING]
What the fuck happened to
the Delta I used to know?
Where's the spirit?
Where's the guts, huh?
This could be the
greatest night of our lives,
but you're gonna let it be the worst.
"We're afraid to go with you,
Bluto. We might get in trouble."
Well, just kiss my ass from now on!
Not me! I'm not gonna take this!
Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead!
Neidermeyer? Dead.
Bluto's right.
Psychotic, but absolutely right.
We got to take these bastards.
Now, we could fight them
with conventional weapons,
but that could take years
and cost millions of lives.
No, no, no.
No. In this case, I think
we have to go all out.
I think this situation absolutely requires
a really futile and stupid gesture
be done on somebody's part.
We're just the guys to do it.
Let's do it. Let's do it!
Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!
Tommy? Tommy?
-Hi.
-Hi.
I'm Larry. Remember me,
I took you to the party?
Wait a minute.
[DOOR OPENING]
So, how come you show up
now? I didn't expect to see you.
Well, I never got a chance to say
good night to you after the party.
No kidding. They almost pumped my stomach.
Look, is it okay if we go
for a walk or something?
What do you mean, "or something?"
Well, I could get some beer.
No, not tonight, okay? Besides,
you might get lucky without it.
Before we go any further,
there's something I have to tell you.
I lied to you,
I've never done this before.
You've never made out with a girl before?
No. No, I mean,
I've never done what I think
we're gonna do in a minute.
I sort of did once, but I was
That's okay, Larry, neither have I.
And besides, I lied to you, too.
Oh, yeah? What about?
I'm only 13.
[CROWD CHEERING]
Hi, there.
Yes, well, marvelous day. Yes.
Excuse me. Excuse me, please.
Pardon me. Excuse me, please.
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Okay, kid, off that mailbox.
That's government property.
Come on, let's go. Move, move it.
Excuse me, please. Would you hold this?
Thank you very much.
Excuse me.
My kid can't see. Is it all right
if he stands in front of you?
No.
Hoover.
Hoover! Hoover!
Ow!
Hoover, where's Boon?
Katy, I don't think
you should stay around here.
What're you talking about?
We all got expelled last night.
What? Why?
Where's Boon? Katy, listen to me.
I think you'd be glad later
if you weren't here now.
May I have 10,000 marbles, please?
[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]
Testing.
It gives me great pleasure
to present this ceremonial
gold-plated whistle
to this year's Honorary Grand Marshal
Dean Vernon Wormer.
Mr. Marshal, the streets
of Faber are yours.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
[MICROPHONE FEEDBACK]
[PLAYING "THE WASHINGTON POST MARCH"]
Let's go.
Sequence! Hut!
CADETS: Faber!
Faber! Faber!
[ALL SCREAMING]
Thank you, God!
Say, those guys are coming pretty fast.
-What the fuck's going on down there?
-I don't know.
Let's stop this now. Charge!
Get up, you faggots! Get up and charge!
Stand up and fight for Christ's sake!
[SCREAMING]
Faggots! Faggots!
Remain calm. All is well.
[YELLING]
Cut the cake.
Look!
Oh, my God.
[REVVING]
Let's take the cheese.
I hate those guys.
Ramming speed!
Oh, boy, is this great!
[ALL SCREAMING]
All is well!
You can take your thumb out of
my ass any time now, Carmine.
Remain
This may seem an inopportune
moment to ask, Dean Wormer,
but do you think you could see your way
clear to giving us just one more chance?
[SIREN WAILING]
Daddy! Mom, Dad,
this is Larry Kroger, the boy
who molested me last month.
We have to get married.
We should discuss
this some other time, sir.
I know that you're very busy
Come out of there!
Come out of there, you bastards!
OTTER: [IN FALSETTO] Who is it?
You know damn well who it is!
I'm sorry, you'll have to come
back later, I'm doing the dishes.
Greg, look at my thumb.
Gee, you're dumb.
Bye.
Excuse me! Pardon me! Pardon me!
Hey, Neidermeyer!
[SIREN WAILING]
Don't you guys think you've had enough?
Okay, okay! Now, I'm really mad!
-Now, you've had it!
-Officers, Officers, please!
For God's sake, please!
They're looting the Food King!
Come back and fight!
No prisoners!
