Revenge of the Nerds Page #4

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?

Follow me, boys.

Gilbert.

Welcome.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hey.

You guys seem pretty cool.

Take these for later.

Rubbers? What do we

need rubbers for?

Let the initiation begin.

Have you ever made love to a woman?

- Yes. No.

- No. Yes.

Liars!

All right, girls.

Let's go for the burn.

Let's get skinny! And one! And two!

And three! And four!

And one! And two! And three!

- Okay, Takashi, what do you got?

- Oh, I think I have a "frush."

- What the f*** is a frush?

- A "frush."

Oh, see, I got two sevens,

and two sevens beats a frush.

Oh, thank you.

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four! Come on, girls!

Fat is your enemy!

Hold those arms out straight!

- Oh.

- Jesus.

Smile, girls!

You're gonna be beautiful!

One! And two! And three! And four!

So, getting into a fraternity can be the

most important thing in a man's life, huh?

You know, that cheerleader

set us up, Lewis.

I really don't think Betty Childs

is that kind of person, Gilbert.

- Hey, Lewis.

- What is it, Gilbert?

I'm really sorry that

I snapped at you.

This gym's really gettin' to me.

It's okay. I understand. Tomorrow morning,

we'll find a better place to live, okay?

- Good night, Gilbert.

- Good night, Lewis.

- Good night, Lamar.

- Good night, Wormser.

- Night, Takashi.

- Good night, Poindexter.

Night, Booger.

Hey, take it easy.

The computer's your friend.

I wasn't meant to

interface with a machine.

Well, you're just beginning. Relax.

It's no use.

- It's inhuman.

- Oh, it's not inhuman.

Only humans can be inhuman.

Here. Lemme show you.

Working with a computer's great.

I mean, it's, uh, godlike in a way.

'Cause you can have

complete control.

- That's good.

- Thanks.

You know, some people, they

can create with their hands.

But when you're working with a computer,

you gotta build something with your mind.

If you're good, you can do somethin'

no one's ever seen before.

It's a definite high.

- Uh, what's your name?

- Judy.

Hi, Judy. Gilbert.

- Very nice to meet you.

- Nice meeting you.

- Joe, what are you doing here?

- Hiya, boys.

- Hello, Lewis.

- Hi, Gilbert.

Did you find a house?

No. I met a girl.

Gilbert.

- Her name's Judy.

- Judy's a nice name, Gilbert.

- Yeah. She's a nice girl.

- Big deal. Did you get in her pants?

- She's not that kind of a girl, Booger.

- Why? Does she have a penis?

You gonna eat this?

- Smell this one, nerd.

- Hey, Coach, Coach,

I got to find a place to live.

Is okay I leave early?

No.

Oh, okay.

- You know karate?

- Oh, no.

Good.

Okay, I programmed him with all

the rental units in the area.

To achieve optimum efficiency,

I've assigned each of you a

different part of the list.
