The Breakfast Club Scene 5 Summary

  • Carl the janitor enters and Bender asks him how one becomes a janitor. Carl says that he's not just some peon—he listens to all their conversations and is the "eyes and ears of this institution."
  • After he leaves, Vernon comes in and tells them it's lunchtime. After they say they're thirsty, he leads Andrew and Allison to a soft drink machine in the teacher's lounge to get Cokes for everyone.
  • On the way, Andrew and Allison talk about what they like to drink—Allison claims vodka—and Andrew says he's doing detention as a way of avoiding losing his scholarship. Allison's not buying it.
  • Back in the library, Claire, Bender, and Brian are waiting.
  • Bender's bothering Claire some more, threatening to show her medical pictures of a guy with "elephantiasus of the nuts" and asking if she'd date a guy like that.
  • Bender accuses Brian of being a virgin and he claims he's not. Bender thinks Brian's gesturing to Claire, claiming he had sex with her. But Brian says he just didn't want Claire to know.
  • Claire says it's fine.
