Sixteen Candles Scene 18 Summary

  • Inside the church, Sam explains to Zelda Rubinstein that she was just getting the veil.
  • She makes it outside without being torn to shreds by poltergeists.
  • And who is waiting outside but Jake Ryan and his shiny red car. Ooh la la.
  • Sam can't believe he's waiting for her.
  • Is this like Cinderella except him attempting to see if her panties fit instead of a glass slipper?
  • She tells him she's not going to the reception, and she gets into the car with him.
  • He takes her back to his house, where he presents her with a cake and her underwear.
  • Jake tells her to blow out the candles and make a wish.
  • "It already came true," she says.
  • Not quite. They still have to kiss. They do, and the credits roll. Happy birthday!
