That was marijuana! Do you approve of this?” “Excuse me for being a virgin, I’m sorry.” Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club." But what we found out, is that each one of us is a brain (Brian), an athlete (Andrew), a basket case (Allison), a princess (Claire), and a criminal (John). You see us as you want to see us, in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is we did wrong, but we think you’re crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. When he is high, he wears dark sunglasses. He often sits with his knees pulled to his chest or in other strange positions. He is 5'10, thin, and appears trustworthy. He later removes this jacket to reveal a green sweater.
His father picks him up wordlessly in their red car while still being upset with him.īrian is first seen wearing a Chicago Bears knit hat, khaki pants, and a brown jacket. He says that he doesn't like his father and that their idea of parental compassion is 'wacko'.īrian says that his being the perfect son is a problem. His mother doesn't care and tells him to find a way to study anyway. She tells him to use the time to his advantage, but he replies that they are not supposed to study, they're just supposed to sit there and do nothing. When he is being dropped off by his younger sister and his mother, she is obviously frustrated and annoyed with him for receiving detention. This symbolic gesture shows the trust the group has in him, and elevates Brian from his old role of pushover to the voice of the whole group, showing that he is finally being treated as an equal. He pauses to hide his face in his sleeve before revealing that he received detention because a flare gun went off in his locker because he was going to attempt suicide with it after failing his shop project.Ĭlaire later suggests that Brian write the paper for all of them. Claire says that he doesn't understand the kind of pressure that she's under and he responds with a "f*ck you," which shocks Claire and John. He asks what is going to happen to them on Monday. He took the course because it was supposed to be an easy way to maintain his GPA. He got an F on a project where he was suppossed to be able to pull the trunk of a lamp shaped like an elephant and turn the light on, but his light didn't come on. He's incredibly disappointed in himself for doing poorly in shop class. He also hides his face in his hand when Andrew is talking about what he did to Larry Lester. He doesn't like conflict and comes between Andrew and John when they are talking about their parents to break up their argument, he says that he doesn't like his parents either. He has been keeping track of the number of detentions that John has racked up -eight- even though he thinks it's seven and knows where the library's fire exits are. He pays close attention to what goes on around him. Brian acts very fh while smoking - using a silly voice, wearing dark sunglasses, laughing openly, while Andrew is dancing around the library to Karla DeVito's "We are not alone". Andrew says no, but Brian gets up to do so anyway, marking his first disrespect of authority in the film. He is incredulous when Bender reveals the marijuana, but later smokes it, though not before silently asking Andrew for permission to do so. He allows Bender to go through his lunch. He finds John intimidating and puts his jacket back on when they both begin to remove theirs at the same time. While repeating the essay prompt "Who I think I am" to himself, he puts a pen in his mouth and says that he is a walrus.
Brian is a young who respects authority and calls Richard Vernon "Sir." He is friends with the janitor of the school and while he is at first embarrassed for the other kids to know this, he says goodbye to Carl as they all leave the school.
