Animal House

Debate Over Academic Aspirations and Procedures

Otter Point of parliamentary procedure!

Hoover Don't screw around, they're serious this time.

Otter Take it easy, I'm pre-law.

Boon I thought you were pre-med.

Otter What's the difference? Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests—we did. But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick perverted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg: isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do what you want to us, but we're not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!

[winks at Dean Wormer]

Greg Order!

Dean Wormer You're not walking out of this one, mister! You're finished! No more Delta! You've bought it this time, buster! I'm calling your national office! I'm going to revoke your charter! And if you wise guys try one more thing, one more, I'm going to kick you out of college! NO MORE FUN OF ANY KIND!!

College Frustrations and Regrets Unveiled

Bluto Christ! Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the fucking ]!

[[w:Peace Corps|Peace Corps]

Pinto My mother's gonna kill me.

Hoover I knew it. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.

Flounder Can't believe I threw up in front of Dean Wormer.

Boon Face it, Kent. You threw up on Dean Wormer.

[puts his arm around Flounder]

D-Day Move. Move it.

Boon Damn.

Boon I got ya. I got ya.

Boon Jesus Christ! What happened? You look grotesque.

Otter Well, some of the Omegas did a little dance on my face.

Bluto Who was it?

Otter Uh, it was Greggy and Dougie and some of the other Hitler youth.

Boon Why? What ya do?

Otter I don't know. They're just animals, I guess. Looks like I missed something.

[Otter looks around.]

Boon Yeah, you did. We're all officially kicked out of school. Wormer just got our grades.

Otter They kicked us out of school? Huh?! That makes sense.

Bluto HEY!! What's this lying around shit?!

[standing up]

Stork Well, what the hell we s'posed to do, you moron?!

D-Day War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

Bluto What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Otter Germans?

Boon Forget it. He's rolling.

Bluto And it ain't over now. Cause when the goin gets tough . . . the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! C'mon! What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh?! This could be the greatest night of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst! "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well, JUST KISS MY ASS FROM NOW ON!!! Not me! I'm not gonna take this! Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, DEAD! Niedermeyer—

[He runs out of the room screaming but then returns.]

Otter Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now, we could fight em with conventional weapons. That could take years and cost millions of lives. Oh no. No, in this case, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

[Otter stands up.]

Bluto And we're just the guys to do it.

Boon Let's do it.

Bluto Let's do it!

Bluto Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Fraternity Rules and Consequences

Dean Wormer Well, well, well. Looks like somebody forgot there's a rule against alcoholic beverages in fraternities on probation!

Otter What a tool.

Dean Wormer I didn't get that, son, what was that?

Otter Uh, I said, "What a shame that a few bad apples have to spoil a good time for everyone by breaking the rules.

Weekend Plans Lead to Misunderstandings

Boon Where are you going? We just got here.

Katy No, Boon, you just got here. I've been downstairs for an hour entertaining a boy from Pig's Knuckle, Arkansas.

Boon Umm - maybe we could drive up to your folks place this weekend.

Katy Oh, fabulous. My car filled with your beer buddies going up to empty my parents liquor cabinet. It's too depressing to think about.

Boon No! Just gonna be you and me. And Otter and another girl.

Katy Is this really what you're gonna do for the rest of your life?

Boon What do you mean?

Katy I mean hanging around with a bunch of animals getting drunk every weekend.

Boon No! After I graduate, I'm gonna get drunk every night.

Katy Boon, I think I'm in love with a retard.

Boon Is he bigger than me?

Midterm Grades Inquiry in Animal House

Dean Wormer Where are the other two—Stratton and Schoenstein?

Hoover We looked everywhere, sir, but—

Dean Wormer Never mind. It doesn't matter. You gentlemen seen your midterm grades yet?

Hoover Oh, they're not posted yet, sir.

Dean Wormer I've seen them. Mr. Kroger, two C's, two D's and an F—that's a 1.2 grade average. Congratulations, Kroger, you're at the top of the Delta pledge class.

Dean Wormer Mr. Dorfman.

Flounder Hellooooo.

Dean Wormer 0.2. Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. Mr. Hoover, president of Delta House—1.6. Four C's and an F. A fine example you set. Daniel Simpson Day has no grade point average. All courses incomplete. Mr. Blu— Mr. Blutarsky. Zero. Point. Zero. Now I want you to tell Mr. Stratton and Mr. Schoenstein exactly what I'm about to tell you now.

[looks up to see that Bluto has stuck pencils up his nose; with heavy emphasis; Bluto shrugs.]

Hoover What's that, sir?

Dean Wormer You're out! Finished at Faber! Expelled! I want you off this campus at 9:00 Monday morning! And I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I have notified your local draft boards and told them that you are now all, all eligible for military service.

Dean Wormer Well? Well? OUT with it!

Facing Mistakes and Finding Solutions Together

D-Day Hey, quit your blubberin'. When I get through with this baby, you won't even recognize it.

Otter Flounder, you can't spend your whole life worrying about your mistakes! You fucked up. You trusted us! Hey, make the best of it! Maybe we can help.

Flounder That's easy for you to say! What am I going to tell Fred?!

Otter I'll tell you what. I'll swear you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and this morning, it was gone. D-Day takes care of the wreck. We report it to the police. Your brother's insurance company buys him a new car.

Flounder Will that work?

Otter Hey, it's gotta work better than the truth.

Bluto My advice to you is to start drinking heavily.

Otter You better listen to him, Flounder. He's in pre-med.

D-Day There you go now, just leave everything to me.

The Proposal for a Toga Party

Otter We need to do something.

Boon We do.

Otter You know what we need to do?

Otter and Boon Toga party.

Hoover We're on "double-secret probation," whatever the hell that is. We can't afford to have a toga party.

Otter You guys up for a toga party?

Bluto TOGA! TOGA!

Otter Ah, I think they like the idea, Hoov.

Hoover Otter, please don't do this.

Otter I've got news for you, pal. They're gonna nail us no matter what we do, so we might as well have a good time.

Pledges and Authority in Animal House

Neidermeyer Dress that line. Dress that line, mister! Dress that line, soldier. Mister, hold my mount. You fat, disgusting slob! You're a goddamn disgrace!!!

[to Flounder]

Boon A vicious mother, isn't he?

[watching from afar]

Otter He can't do that to our pledges.

Boon Only we can do that to our pledges.

Neidermeyer Redo those buttons! Dress that belt buckle! Straighten that cap! And goddamn it, tuck up those pajamas! Attention! Eyes front! What's that on your chest, mister?

[to Flounder]

Flounder It's a pledge pin, sir.

Neidermeyer A PLEDGE PIN?!?! On your UNIFORM?!! Just tell me, mister, what fraternity would pledge a man like you?

Flounder It's a Delta pin, sir.

Neidermeyer You'll report to the stable tonight and every night at 1900 hours, AND WITHOUT THAT PLEDGE PIN! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!! You're all worthless and weak! Now drop and give me twenty!

First Time Confessions Between Pinto and Clorette

Pinto Before we go any further, there's something I have to tell you. I lied to you. I've never done this before.

Clorette De Pasto You've never made out with a girl before?

Pinto No. No, I mean, I've never done what I think we're gonna do in a minute. I sort of did once, but I was drunk...

Clorette De Pasto That's okay, Larry. Neither have I. It's my first time too. And besides, I lied to you, too.

Pinto Oh, yeah? What about?

Clorette De Pasto I'm only 13.

Fraternity Misdeeds Discussed by Dean Wormer

Dean Wormer Greg, what is the worst fraternity on this ]?

[[w:Campus|campus]

Greg That would be hard to say, sir. They're each outstanding in their own way.

Dean Wormer Cut the horseshit, son. I've got their disciplinary files right here. Who dropped a whole truckload of ] into the swim meet? Who delivered the ] ]s to the alumni dinner? Every ], the trees are filled with underwear. Every spring, the ]s explode.

Greg You're talking about Delta, sir.

Dean Wormer Of course I'm talking about Delta, you TWERP!!! This year is going to be different. This year we are going to grab the bull by the balls and kick those punks off campus.

Greg What do you intend to do sir? Delta's already on probation.

Dean Wormer They are?

Greg Yes, sir.

Dean Wormer Oh. Then as of this moment, they're on double secret probation!

Greg Double secret probation, sir?

Dean Wormer There is a little-known codicil in the Faber College constitution which gives the dean unlimited power to preserve order in time of campus emergency. Find me a way to revoke Delta's charter. You live next door. Put Neidermeyer on it. He's a sneaky little shit, just like you, right? The time has come for someone to put their foot down. And that foot is me.

[Greg nods]
