i’m 101% sure that this entire line was improv and tom couldn’t help it
“Yeah, that was basically, we did about six different versions of that story, and that was just us standing around while the cameras were rolling and I would just feed them lines and feed Chris ideas for stories. I’d say, “Do another one, in this one say: ‘I was walking through a field, and I saw a lovey Turkish rug in the middle of the grass, and I love Turkish rugs, so I went to stand on it, and it was Loki, and he turned back into Loki and there was a hole and I fell through the hole was was impaled on a whole lot of spikes.’” So we did versions of that, and the one with the snake just ended up being the one we used.”
The Breakfast Club came out in 1985 and to this day is, in my opinion, one of the greatest damn movies ever to barely even have a script.
During the famous “dance” scene, Molly Ringwald, who played the “princess” Claire, was supposed to a small little dance by herself, but she was shy so all of them did some dancing together, creating one of the most famous film scene’s to date. It was improvised.
During the scene in the film where the characters sat down and told why they were there, there was NO SCRIPT. John Hughes told the cast to sit there and improvise why they thought their characters were there, creating that heart wrenching scene everyone could relate to.
EVERYONE can relate to this movie and thats the best damn thing.
On March 24, 1984, five students entered a detention room thinking it was just another Saturday. Before the day was over, they broke the rules, bared their souls, and touched each other in a way they never dreamed possible.
EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THE BREAKFAST CLUB.
I love how Hardison takes this information in stride. Fortune cookie breakfast? Okay cool, how does that work exactly? He wants to know everything about her. What she does and why she does it.
Meanwhile Eliot’s face is the face of a man who is slowly realizing that the people he cares about are going to die of poor life choices without him to mom them into submission.
aka angrily cook for them. ALL THE TIME.
Eliot: HOW DO THE TWO OF YOU NOT HAVE SCURVY. EAT THIS FANCY MEAL WITH CITRUS
Hardison: Actually, man, my orange drinks–
Eliot: *HISSES LIKE AN ANGRY CAT*
Hardison: Nevermind.
Eliot: *TURNS TO PARKER* CHOCOLATE AND DRY GOODS ARE NOT A MEAL PLAN, PARKER. I MADE THIS SUPPLEMENT SHAKE–DRINK IT WHILE I WATCH.
Parker: …can I dunk my fortune cookies in there?
Eliot: *TWITCHES IN FURIOUS RESIGNATION* I ALREADY CRUMBLED SOME UP IN THERE. DRINK.
