This is 'the Breakfast Club Script with all the dialogue and the stage directions we will need to include ;
The Blank Screen and Title Card SHATTER to reveal...
1. EXT. SHERMER HIGH SCHOOL - DAY
During Brian's monologue, we see various views of things
inside the school including Bender's locker.
BRIAN (VO)
Saturday...March 24, 1984. Shermer
High School, Shermer, Illinois.
60062. Dear Mr. Vernon...we accept
the fact that we had to sacrifice a
whole Saturday in detention for
whatever it was that we did wrong,
what we did was wrong. But we think
you're crazy to make us write this
essay telling you who we think we
are, what do you care? You see us
as you want to see us...in the
simplest terms and the most
convenient definitions. You see us
as a brain, an athelete, a basket
case, a princess and a criminal.
Correct? That's the way we saw each
other at seven o'clock this morning.
We were brainwashed...
CUT TO:
2. INT. CLAIRE'S CAR - DAY
We see CLAIRE and her FATHER sitting in their car in the
parking lot.
Claire is the prom queen and is clearly a snob.
CLAIRE
I can't believe you can't get me
out of this...I mean it's so absurd
I have to be here on a Saturday!
It's not like I'm a defective or
anything...
CLAIRE'S FATHER
I'll make it up to you...Honey,
ditching class to go shopping
doesn't make you a defective. Have
a good day.
Claire rolls her eyes and gets out of the car and walks
up the school front steps
CUT TO:
3. INT. BRIAN'S CAR - DAY
We are in BRIAN's car. His MOTHER is there and so is
his little SISTER. He is sort of a nerd.
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Is this the first time or the last
time we do this?
BRIAN
(upset)
Last...
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well get in there and use the time
to your advantage...
BRIAN
Mom, we're not supposed to study; we
just have to sit there and do
nothing.
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well mister you figure out a way to
study.
BRIAN'S LITTLE SISTER
(annoyingly)
Yeah!
BRIAN'S MOTHER
Well go!
Brian gets out of the car and walks towards the school.
CUT TO:
4. INT. ANDREW'S CAR - DAY
We see ANDREW and his FATHER. Andrew is clearly a jock;
he’s wearing a letterman’s jacket with lots of patches on it.
ANDREW'S FATHER
Hey, I screwed around...guys screw
around, there's nothing wrong with
that. Except you got caught, Sport.
ANDREW
Yeah, Mom already reemed me, alright?
ANDREW'S FATHER
(angry)
You wanna miss a match? You wanna
blow your ride? Now no school's
gonna give a scholarship to a
discipline case.
Andrew gets out of the car and walks into the school.
CUT TO:
5. EXT. SHERMER PARKING LOT - DAY
We see JOHN BENDER walking towards us. He is wearing
sunglasses. A car is coming towards him but he doesn't
stop walking.
The car slams on its breaks directly in front of him.
Bender gets out of the frame. Out of the car steps
ALLISON. She is dressed all in black. She steps
forward to look in the car's front window and the car
drives away.
CUT TO:
6. INT. LIBRARY - DAY
There are six tables in two rows of three.
Claire is sitting at the front table. Brian comes in
and sits at the table behind her.
Andrew comes in and points at the chair next to Claire
at the front table. She shrugs and he sits there.
In walks Bender, he touches everything on the checkout
desk and takes a few things in the process.
He walks over to where Brian is sitting and points to
the table on the opposite side of the Library. Brian
reluctantly gets up and moves.
Bender sits at the table where Brian was and puts his
feet up.
Allison walks in. She walks all the way around the
library and sits in the back corner table, just behind
Brian.
Andrew and Claire look at each other and snicker.
Brian looks at her in confusion and then turns away.
Enter RICHARD VERNON, a teacher. He holds a stack
of papers in his left hand. He addresses the group with
such disrespect it makes you wonder how he ever got the
job.
