Revenge of the Nerds Page #3

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?

with allergies?

Me too. Uh, for those who

do have allergies, um...

You can request a

foam-rubber pillow.

Also, there's a television, uh,

for your viewing pleasure.

It is a black-and-white

television. More good news,

because of the...

Of the housing situation,

we are allowing the freshman class

to join and live in fraternities.

All right!

The fraternities will select

their new members tomorrow.

All right! Enough of this

social bullshit. Grab a cot.

Move it or lose it!

Go, son.

Move!

Move! Move! Move! Move! Move!

The Delta Kappa Gamma fraternity

has selected as its new members,

Oliver Scott and Bill Daniels.

For those of you, who weren't

selected by any fraternities,

you won't be left out in the cold.

You can stay here in the gym

for as long as you like.

Or at least until

basketball season.

Please answer when

I call out your names.

Poindexter, Arnold?

- Latrelle, Lamar.

- Lamar Latrelle.

- Wormser, Harold.

- Present.

- Takashi, Toshiro.

- Here, sir.

- Dawson, Dudley.

- Call me Booger.

All right, Booger.

Rakhim, Taj.

Excuse, please. But why

do they call you Booger?

I don't know.

Posquito, Lawrence.

Daniels, Paul.

I knew nobody'd pick us, Lewis.

Gilbert, it's probably not over yet.

There's a fraternity for us.

Dooley, Edward.

Wait a second, Lewis.

Are you sure about this?

Gilbert, yes. Come on.

- Hi, girls.

- Are you guys looking to join a sorority?

A sorority? No! Guy!

We really need some help.

We figured pretty girls like you might

be able to suggest a fraternity.

Well, you know, boys, choosing

the right fraternal organization

can be one of the most important

decisions in a man's life.

For sure.

Guys like you have to weigh

your choices very carefully.

Definitely.

What frat do you think is us?

- You guys are Alpha Betas all the way.

- Totally. For sure.

Wait. Aren't Alpha Betas, like,

all jocks and face men?

Yes. But you guys have got that certain

something I know they'd be interested in.

I'm gonna call them and

tell them you're coming.

Should we ask for a

particular Alpha Beta?

- Stan Gable.

- And you're?

Betty Childs.

Thank you, Betty. Uh, Miss Childs.

Maybe if you're not busy sometime, we

could have a cup of coffee or something.

- Oh.

- Come on, pal.

I can't believe you asked her out.

You know, Gilbert, if we get in,

maybe we can have our old room back.

- These guys are never gonna accept us.

- Why wouldn't they?

These are the Alpha Betas!

They're the football players.

Gilbert, I really don't think Miss

Childs would have sent us over here

if she didn't think we had

a chance of getting in.

- Yes?

- Hi.

Tell Stan Gable that we're the

guys that Betty Childs sent over.
