Pretty In Pink Page #5

Come on, I gotta go. I'll see you later.

- Blane, what's goin' on?

- Nothing.

Well, not nothing. I saw you talking

to that chick, what's her name, Eddie?

- So what do you care?

- My best friend is talking to a mutant.

I'm curious.

That's no reason to get defensive.

I'm not defensive.

I just happen to like her, all right?

Listen, all right. It's your life.

It's none of my business.

You really don't think

she's got something?

No. I really don't. I'm sorry.

You're gonna be late, buddy.

The Warsaw Pact was a treaty

signed by the Soviet Union

and seven East European satellites.

What it did was it...

it established a mutual

defence organisation as...

Duckie!

What? What, what? Well, what'd I put?

You wrote "The Warsaw Pact is the

pact that was named after Warsaw."

The teacher'll know you're bullshitting.

OK, OK. What about the rest of it?

The Russian Revolution

did not take place in Germany.

- What was Karl Marx, then?

- He was a German.

- Well, there you go.

- Yes, but his being German

has nothing to do with where

the Russian Revolution occurred!

OK, OK.

OK, can I propose something to you

without you getting upset or angry?

- That depends.

- On what?

I dunno. I just said that. Go ahead.

You're deliberately flunking your

courses so you can stay in high school.

Get out of here! Why would I do that?

- I dunno. You tell me.

- Well, I'm not, so there's nothing to tell.

- You're not always one to face things.

- What am I not facing?

The future.

Whether or not you face the future,

it happens, right?

- You run yourself down. Why?

- I am not running myself down!

You think I am? I don't think I am.

Why? Because of the way I dress?

Cos I can laugh at myself?

That's called a sense of humour.

You should get one, they're nice.

- What are we gonna do next year?

- You think I'll still be in school.

I'm serious! Not a day

has passed in eight years

when I didn't talk to you

at least 20 times!

Well, that's devotion.

I know. Even if I sometimes get angry,

you know that I secretly love it.

You see, I knew that.

I hope I'm not the only one

that knows how incredible you are.

Well, at this point in time,

I'm afraid you are, honey.

I'm gonna get something to drink,

and then we work, OK?

- You bet.

- OK. What do you want?

- Beer, Scotch, juice box. Whatever.

- OK.

Oh, God.

I love this woman.

I love this woman and I have to tell her,

and if she laughs, she laughs.

And if she doesn't love me,

she doesn't love me,

but if I don't find out...

I love her too much!

Love is real.

Thank you, thank you.

Real is love.

You're a wonderful crowd here,

you know that.

Love is living

You're fabulous. I do love you.
