The Breakfast Club Scene 3 Summary

  • Bender gets up and removes a screw that's keeping the library door from closing. It closes and Vernon comes to check out what's going on.
  • He asks them what happened, and they all claim it just closed—no one rats on Bender.
  • Vernon yells at Bender to give him the screw, but he denies having it.
  • Vernon tries to prop the door with a folding chair, which doesn't work. Then he tries to prop it with a magazine rack with Andrew's help.
  • Bender claims it's a fire escape hazard, and Vernon reconsiders and they move the magazine rack out of the door.
  • When Vernon's leaving, he reprimands Bender and Bender tells him to "Eat my shorts."
  • This fires off a verbal exchange, in which Vernon keeps piling on detentions as Bender refuses to stop back-talking him.
  • They get up to two months' of Saturday detentions, and finally stop. Vernon gloats and tells Bender to try less to impress people.
  • Vernon leaves and Bender shouts a loud obscenity after him.
