I’m watching Breakfast Club for the 100th time and something struck me for the first time: Their library is insane.
I went to High School at a nice school in an ever nicer county. I would go to all the schools in my league for sports and always ended up by the library at some point or another. And at none of these upper middle class schools was there a two story library. Us plebs were stuck with a single level where half the floor plan was occupied by square tables rarely used and a bathroom that had more visitors in a day than my library did in the year.
See, that was the nicest bathroom in the school. When you became an upper class-man that’s where you went no matter where you were in the school. Opposite end of the school? Library bathroom. Teachers would never question you when you came back because as much as you don’t want to say, “I was pooping” they want to hear it even less.
Anyways, how did a school in Illinois have that nice of a library? Not only was it two stories, there were thousands of books in there! They were living in the year 2060 while everyone else was stuck in 1985.
Also, how much pot was Estevez smoking where he hot-boxed an entire study room? He comes out of that room with smoke so thick you can only see the glass window panes! I guess he really was like a race horse- lungs of steel.
I think Bender had a mixed bag, too, because him and the other two were goofing around making jokes while they were stoned and Estevez was going full hardo doing cartwheels down the hall and screaming at the top of his lungs. Just chill out man.
