Revenge of the Nerds Page #2

Synopsis: When lovable nerds Gilbert and Lewis embark on their freshman year at Adams College, little do they realize the dangers that await them. They are beset by taunting from the jocks of Alpha Beta fraternity, which only worsens when the jocks accidentally burn down their house and toss the freshmen out of the freshmen dorm. To make matters more problematic, Lewis develops a crush on pretty Betty Childs, popular sorority sister and quarterback's girlfriend. Joined by the aptly named Booger and the violin-playing Poindexter, the nerds soon realize they must form their own fraternity in self-defense. Soon the tables are turned as the nerds employ high-tech warfare against the jocks.... but can they really succeed and make a difference?

- 188 proof.

It's called a fireball, man. Watch.

Haystack, flame on,

buddy. Flame on!

Oh, now what?

Whoo!

Yeah!

Can you do it again? Do it again!

Fireball, fireball,

fireball, fireball.

Fireball, fireball,

fireball, fireball.

One more! One more!

Fireball! Fireball!

Fireball! Fireball!

Oh, sh*t!

Our house

Our house is burning down

Our house, our house

Our house is burning down

Must've been the electrical wiring.

That isn't what the fire

department thinks, Stan.

Dean Ulich, if my boys say it was

the wiring, I gotta believe them.

You know, Dean, this school

ought to be more careful.

Dean, we got a big game coming up

and I don't want my boys' minds worried

about where they're gonna live.

Well, they should've thought of that

before they burned their house down.

Well, what's done is done. Now,

where am I gonna put my athletes?

- How about the freshman dorm?

- What about the students living there now?

All right.

Thanks to faulty wiring,

we have no place to live, right?

- Right!

- And these freshmen...

Freshmen are sitting

pretty in there.

- So as of now, that dorm is ours! Right?

- Yeah!

Any room you want! Ready? Break!

Don't come back!

There's your roommate, pal!

If everyone follows directions,

we can manage this move with as

little inconvenience as possible.

All right, men. I want

everybody to listen up.

We're movin' out, and I mean now!

Move it! Move it! Move! Move! Move!

Hey, buddy! Here!

- Get outta here!

- Yeah! Move your ass!

All right, men. Listen up!

I'm gonna see to it that each and

every one of you is taken care of.

You will be provided with the best

possible food, shelter and accommodations.

- We will try to provide you...

- Now, let's move it out! Move it! Move!

Move! Move! Move it!

Move it!

Get outta here!

Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

Nerds! Nerds! Nerds! Nerds!

I know this move has probably

been very sudden for all of you

and you're probably all

still very disoriented.

I do want to assure you that this move is

in no way permanent. It's only temporary.

As you can see, we've provided

accommodations for you

that are... That are

quite acceptable

and I think it'll be a very nice

place for you to enjoy your studies.

But I don't even want

to go to college!

Harold, you have a special gift.

You need college to develop it.

I want to be with

people my own age.

You will be with people your

own age when you're older.

But you just can't drop

me off in a gymnasium.

It's like we're

refugees from a war!

We've got to go now, honey.

Your dad has an appointment.

Bye, son.

It is, really very

comfortable here.

Is there anyone here
