Revenge of the Nerds Page #6

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?

Earl, show the

petitioners in, please.

Oh, my God.

Kneel, gentlemen.

You are the gentlemen who

wish to form a fraternity?

Yes, sir.

Well, gentlemen, as president

of the Greek Council,

I'm sorry to inform you that

your membership has been denied.

Excuse me, but, uh, why?

Well, according to our charter, you must

have a national fraternity as your sponsor.

- Do you have one?

- No.

Well, I'm afraid he's right.

But all we have to do is get a

national sponsor, and we're in, right?

Right, right. So I guess we'll see

you in about, say, uh, 20 years.

"Dear sirs, thank you for applying

to Delta Kappa Gamma."

"We've gone over your application,

and it wasn't even close."

"In the future, we recommend that

you not include a group photo."

That's 29 rejections so far.

Did we send pictures to everybody?

Yeah, everybody except for,

uh, Lambda Lambda Lambda.

Here's one that will see us!

Lambda Lambda Lambda?

Yeah. They're gonna love us.

As you know, we have no

chapter at Adams College,

which is why we agreed to see you.

But I must tell you, gentlemen,

you have very little chance

of becoming Tri-Lambs.

I'm in a difficult situation here.

I mean, after all,

you're nerds.

According to your by-laws,

you have to take us on

a 60-day trial basis.

- I beg your pardon?

- According to your by-law...

He's right, U.N.

Any group that petitions can become

a probationary Tri-Lamb chapter.

May I see that, please?

Thank you.

Well, gentlemen, you are now

probationary Tri-Lambs.

Hey, great, U.N.

Why don't we have a party? You can

come down and celebrate with us

and observe us to make sure

we're Tri-Lamb material, okay?

Great.

We won't let you down either.

I bet we'll have the highest grade point

average of any chapter you've got.

And we certainly

won't discriminate.

I mean, our chapter will be open

to people of all races and creeds.

And sexual orientation.

Wonderful.

- Hi. Remember me?

- No.

Well, we're having a party Saturday

night. Would you like to come?

- No.

- Oh. Well...

Come on! Get it up! Get it up!

Come on! You're sh*t!

You're nothin'!

You're scum! You suck!

- You're nice!

- No, I'm not!

- That a way, Og.

- Stan. Hi.

- What's up, Betty? Somethin' wrong?

- Yeah.

- What?

- One of those nerds just asked me out.

Which one?

- I don't know. They all look alike to me.

- Yeah.

They're trying to throw a party,

and they can't get any dates.

- Yeah?

- I'll eat their ancestors!

- I'll kill their parents! I'll kill...

- No, Ogre! Ogre!

Don't worry about it. Wait a

second. Just wait a second.

- Maybe we could help them out.

- Yeah?

Yeah. And I know just what to do.

Come here.
