1. EXT. SHERMER HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

During Brian's monologue, we see various views of
things
inside the school including Bender's locker.

BRIAN (VO)
Saturday...March 24, 1984. Shermer
High School, Shermer, Illinois.
60062. Dear Mr. Vernon...we accept
the fact that we had to sacrifice a
whole Saturday in detention for
whatever it was that wedid wrong,
what we did was wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make us write this
essay telling you who we think we
are, what do you care? You see us
as you want to see us...in the
simplest terms and the most
convenient definitions. You see us
as a brain, an athelete, a basket
case, a princess and a criminal.
Correct? That's the way we saw eachother at seven o'clock this morning.
We were brainwashed...

2. INT. CLAIRE'S CAR - DAY

We see CLAIRE and her FATHER sitting in their car in
the
parking lot.

Claire is the prom queen and is clearly a snob.

CLAIRE
I can't believe you can't get me
out of this...I mean it's so absurd
I have to be here on a Saturday!
It's not like I'm a defectiveor
anything...

CLAIRE'S FATHER
I'll make it up to you...Honey,
ditching class to go shopping
doesn't make you a defective. Have
a good day.

Claire rolls her eyes and gets out of the car and walks
up the school front steps

3. INT. BRIAN'S CAR - DAY

We are in BRIAN's car. His MOTHER is there and so is
his little SISTER. He is sort of anerd.

BRIAN'S MOTHER
Is this the first time or the last
time we do this?

BRIAN
(upset)
Last...

BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well get in there and use the time
to your advantage...

BRIAN
Mom, we're not supposed to study; we
just have to sit there and do
nothing.

BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well mister you figure out a way to
study.BRIAN'S LITTLE SISTER
(annoyingly)
Yeah!

BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well go!

Brian gets out of the car and walks towards the school.

4. INT. ANDREW'S CAR - DAY

We see ANDREW and his FATHER. Andrew is clearly a
jock;
heís wearing a lettermanís jacket with lots of patches
on it.

ANDREW'S FATHER
Hey, I screwed around...guys screw
around, there'snothing wrong with
that. Except you got caught, Sport.

ANDREW
Yeah, Mom already reemed me, alright?

ANDREW'S FATHER
(angry)
You wanna miss a match? You wanna
blow your ride? Now no school's

discipline case.

Andrew gets out of the car and walks into the school.

5. EXT. SHERMER PARKING LOT - DAYWe see JOHN BENDER walking towards us. He is wearing
sunglasses. A car is coming towards him but he doesn't
stop walking.

The car slams on its breaks directly in front of him.

Bender gets out of the frame. Out of the car steps
ALLISON. She is dressed all in black. She steps
forward to look in the car's front window and the car
drives away.

6. INT.LIBRARY - DAY

There are six tables in two rows of three.
Claire is sitting at the front table. Brian comes in
and sits at the table behind her.

Andrew comes in and points at the chair next to Claire
at the front table. She shrugs and he sits there.

In walks Bender, he touches everything on the checkout
desk and takes a few things in the process.

He walks over to where Brian...
