FM: Do you think that the categorizations made in "The Breakfast Club" hold true at Harvard? Do people define you as they want to define you?
[Silence]
Emy: We're just trying to think...
Neil: I think it's pretty natural to label somebody according to first impressions. I think it definitely holds true here.
Gautam: Everybody stereotypes. It is an easy way to think. It is a sign of intellectual laziness but everybody does it.
FM: Emy, have you ever gone out with a "criminal" type to rebel against your parents?
Emy: Oh, absolutely.
Tom: No diggity!
Emy: Like, junior year, I went out with this one really bad, bad guy. And I don't want to identify him publicly. It worked for a little while and then I got tired of being bad.
FM: Gautam, in the movie the "brain" takes wood shop because he thinks it will be an easy "A" and he wants to maintain his high grade point average. Have you ever taken shop?
Gautam: The high school that I attended had a class called "research and experimentation" which was kind of like shop. We got to use a lot of machines. The class was more based on experimental design. It was actually fascinating.
Emy: I took autoshop. My dad made me take it because he was afraid of me breaking down on the highway. The only time I ever used what I learned was at the Kappa Alpha Theta retreat when my friend, Beth, couldn't get her car started.
Neil: I took Linguistics 80. That's your Harvard shop.
Gautam: There's shop at Harvard?
Neil: No, baby. It's not shop in the shop sense. It's just shopeasy.
