Andrea
[during her valedictorian speech] Thank you. Oh, Mr. Meyers, Miss Teasley, uh, fellow graduates, ladies and gentlemen. Uh, today we stand here united as a class. Tomorrow, we go our separate ways as individuals…on our own and individually. We do this to follow paths, unfathomable path, which weave before us. We do so with the certainty... with the certaint that we don't have the faintest idea what we're doing at all…Which could be a very frightening prospect in a world where the… in a world where the boundaries of nations and the balance of nature can change overnight. Except that the years that we have spent at West Beverly have given us the foundation to face the future. But, we haven't just learned facts and figures, logic and reasoning skills, but we have learned the value of friendship— friendship, loyalty, and love— which will not be diminished just because we may not end up together. The memories that we have shared will not go away simply because we do. So even if the future does not always meet our expectations, or the fates are cruel to us at times, no one can ever take this moment from me… From me, from you, from any of us. No one can ever take away this moment in time.
And I'm sorry I called you pretentious.
Andrea
And I'm sorry I called you gossipy.
[Group hug between Brenda, Kelly, Andrea]
[When left out of group hug] Well...well I'm sorry for not having more problems! But I plan to.
Andrea
Are you, uh, going to the school dance?
Andrea
Uh, no.
Personally, I hate to dance.
Andrea
You do?
Yeah. I always step on people's toes, I have no sense of rhythm, it's awful.
Andrea
So, you probably wouldn't want to go even if someone asked you?
Andrea
Well, I have fundamental ideological problems with teenage social rituals that basically do nothing but exacerbate fears of total insecurity and inferiority over one's appearance while frenetically exploiting, and I must hasten to add, distorting, the feminine ideal. I mean, in an act which reaches it's apogee with the election of the spring queen.
Andrea
What was the question?
[Acting out a scene in their acting class.]
Andrea
I'm better for her than you are.
[Brenda slaps Andrea. Andrea turns her head and looks like she is about to cry. They both walk out into the hallway.]
Andrea
Brenda...Brenda! That is not how we rehearsed the slap!
Andrea
You know damn well it wasn't.
Well I guess I just got too involved in my character.
Andrea
That is so lame. There was something else behind that slap and you know it!
Andrea
Oh. And what is that memory based on?
Oh, quick learner. I think you know, Teacher's Pet!
Andrea
This is perfect. I confide in you, share my feelings. Something I never do, and you completely turn on me!
Yeah, well who confided in who first?
Andrea
I said I was sorry, Brenda. I had no idea that he was interested in me as anything more than a pupil with stage fright!
Yeah well now we know differently, don't we?
Andrea
Look, Brenda. You can't steal something from someone that they don't have in the first place!
You know, all school year I listened to you rattling on and on about your feelings for my brother.
Andrea
This has nothing to do with Brandon.
You're right. it has to do with you and me.
Andrea
Not anymore.
Andrea
Brandon, why is everybody staring at me, I mean, what's--what's wrong?
Didn't you forget something?
Andrea
No, I-- [whispers] Oh my God! I forgot my clothes!
Hi. I'd like to exchange an egg.
CCashier
You want to exchange an egg. Do you have a receipt?
No. Do I need a receipt? I mean, is that part of the thing?
CCashier
It's customary to have a receipt when you want to exchange something.
Andrea
I think we're in the wrong place.
[To Andrea] No, no, this is all part of the deal, watch. [To cashier] I want to exchange an egg.
Andrea
Look, Steve, let's go.
CCashier
What's wrong with the egg?
CCashier
But you want another.
No, I don't want another egg, I want information!
CCashier
Look, I don't know what you kids are on, but I'm calling the police.
You know, I think we're in the wrong place.
[The guys are waiting for a stripper to show up; the doorbell rings.]
I hear "hello" is really popular.
[Brandon answers the door and sees Andrea.]
Andrea
Brandon, hi! [laughs]
Andrea, what are you doing here?
[to Dylan] Zuckerman, moonlighting?
