Revenge of the Nerds Page #5

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?

This'll prevent doubling up, and we'll be

able to blanket the area in no time.

Booger.

Wormser.

Toshiro.

Nerd.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Mr. Wilson?

- Yeah.

Just checking.

Hi, there, big boy.

Hi. I came about the room for rent.

It's right next to mine.

It'll be perfect for us.

Who's there?

- I...

- What do you want?

- Is this the Stewart residence?

- Why are you here?

- I've come about the room.

- What do you want? Go... Go away!

- I... I... Do you have a room to rent?

- Not for rent.

- I thought it was for rent.

- F*** off.

- Hi, Judy.

- Hi, Gilbert!

- How are you?

- I'm fine.

- Good.

- Where you goin'?

I gotta go find a place to live.

Oh, that's horrible, you guys

having to live in the gym.

Oh, yeah, well...

- What is that? Is that yours?

- Oh, it's my accordion.

- The... You play the accordion?

- Yeah!

- You know, I love the accordion.

- Really?

Yeah. Are you very good, or...

- No, not really.

- Oh.

I'm on my way to accordion class

now. Wanna walk with me?

Yeah, sure. Oh, no.

Here. Let me get it.

I think I found a house.

About f***ing time!

Isn't it fantastic?

Welcome.

- You feeling anything yet, Takashi?

- Booger, I feel nothing.

Well, you better have another hit.

Look at this counter.

Could be good.

- Feeling anything now?

- Oh, no.

I feeling nothing at all.

How about now?

I can't believe what they've

done to that house.

That's amazing.

- Looks terrific, doesn't it, Stan?

- Yeah.

Well, it won't look

terrific for long.

What are you looking at, nerd? Huh?

I thought I was looking at my mother's

old douche bag, but that's in Ohio.

Seven, and eight,

and stretch those arms.

Come on, looks great.

Come on, Wormser.

Count one. Keep it up. Two...

Good morning, Poindexter.

- Good morning.

- Okay.

Excuse me.

Oh, thank you very much.

- Okay, Takashi, show me your cards.

- Okay. Two and four kings.

- That's good, yes? Oh.

- No. No, you got too many kings.

- You gotta get rid of these.

- Oh.

I'll take three of these kings out, and

we'll replace them with three fresh cards.

Oh. Okay. Thank you.

Okay, when do I deal?

You gotta win a hand first.

I told you we'd find

a better place.

Yeah. This is way

better than the dorm.

It says, "Nerds, get out."

What is a nerd?

We are.

I don't know what this world is

comin' to. See that man over there?

We arrested him for mopery.

What's mopery?

Mopery is exposing yourself

to a blind person.

I'm sorry about your

windows, fellas.

It's out of my jurisdiction.

Sounds like a fraternity prank.

There's only one organization

that can handle this.

What organization is that?

The Greek Council.

Our next order of

business, new membership.
