St. Elmo's Fire (1985) Edit

A friend of yours?

A little pick me up?

A systems analyst.

A very hot ******* guy.

A year? Refresh my memory. Haven't you heard of the sexual revolution?

Absolutely. I am now a student of life.

Actually, I should thank you.

After she left for work this morning...

Al, you're so perfect. Such a young god.

Alec had the luck of geography, right?

Alec is becoming a Republican, and he wants to get married.

Alec Newberry.

Alec Newberry. Congressman Langston's office.

Alec was the first love of my life.

Alec was the first.

Alec, come here. This is obscene!

Alec, I've got a lot of cash.

Alec, what are you doing here?

Alec, you gotta come get me.

Alec!

Alec.

Alec's got him working for this Korean gangster...

All I can remember is the seven of us always together.

All right, I'll see you in a bit.

All right.

All the years we lived here, no one ever did this.

All this time I was afraid you'd find out I was irresponsible.

Am I part of your props?

An illusion created by lawyers to perpetuate the illusion of marriage...

And a hammer.

And all this time I was afraid you'd find out I wasn't fabulous.

And do they?

And for our entrée, Campbell mushroom barley. How chic.

And here's the worst of all.

And I needed to break away from Alec.

And I think that the reason I'm not interested in other women...

And I want to get my own apartment.

And I want you to know I'm flattered by all this.

And I would really like it...

And I'm a lawyer.

And I've made a decision.

And look.

And make sure you smell the cork. So who is she?

And no more women.

And she sang "We've Only Just Begun" as sweet as Karen Carpenter.

And then what happened?

And this is our first store, built in 1953.

And very pink.

And waste all this good coke?

And who carries the bullet around for nine months?

And you know, it was my kitchen, and it was my refrigerator...

Anyway, I didn't just fuck Kevin!

Are they dead?

Are you in the card game too?

Are you interested in the janitorial field?

Are you okay?

Are you the maniac that's been trying to cut in on my line?

Are you the new Mideast ambassador?

Aren't you even a little concerned about Wendy?

As long as I'm not putting you or Kirbo to any trouble.

As soon as I make it really big, I'm going fluff and fold.

At the frat house, I'd crawl out of Alec's window on the roof with my horn.

Because all that time...

Because I never see you with a girl. And you always look real strange.

Because I thought you were gay.

Because I'm not responsible for what I'll do to you if you don't.

Because if they knock up some slut, they're the ones who are fucked!

Been playing your sax?

Besides, there's an extra $100 for you to keep your mouth shut.

Besides, there's an extra $100 for you to keep your mouth shut.

Betrayed.

Big Al has an announcement to make!

Billy from the roof?

Billy is great.

Billy, enough.

Billy, four months after graduation...

Billy, how come you're not at work?

Billy, I want you to know I'm not gonna be getting you any more jobs.

Blinding white light.

Boys.

Boys.

Buddy...

But he was a Democrat then. Now he's a Republican, so who knows.

But he's very, very straight. And very taken.

But I can't keep it.

But now, well...

But then again, it is small and ugly. Here.

But then she went crazy. And now she's locked herself in the apartment.

But very wealthy.

But you don't even know me.

Bye.

Can I borrow a key to your apartment tomorrow?

Can you keep a secret?

Cancer.

Candace, do like grandmother did. In the center of the plate, neatly.

Clear, please.

College is a four year delusion so you don't have to deal with reality.

Come and get them.

Come back here.

Come on down here!

Come on, it's not even half of what I owe you.

Come on, let's go play some ball.

Come on!

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Don't save it for your boss.

Come on. He's wonderful.

Come on. I mean, all those guys you went out with...

Come to Mama.

Complete discretion and loyalty.

Could I see you in the men's room, please?

Daddy, I think I should get my own apartment.

Daddy'll have a heart attack in front of your boyfriend.

Dale Biberman.

Dale Biberman. Didn't you see her at the hospital?

Dale Biberman. I can't believe it.

Dale?

Dangerous question.

Deep down, I'm sure for a long time...

Delaware's about as far as I've ever been.

Did she get remarried already?

Did you forget one of your albums?

Did you get your car fixed?

Did you hear about Betty Rothberg?

Did you hear me? Open the door, or I'll bust it down!

Did you know there are as many students in law school...

Did you see her face? She'll be there.

Did you tell her I was giving a goddamn party for her?

Did you tell Leslie about my screwing around?

Dinosaurs are obsolete. Marriage is still around.

Do you believe in premarital sax?

Do you have a reservation?

Do you know what I've been doing every day since I got fired?

Do you want to go in and get a drink?

Doesn't leave much.

Don't bring up moving out.

Don't give up on me.

Don't go changing to please me.

Don't let her go.

Don't look!

Don't look.

Don't you enjoy anything anymore? Like girls?

Don't you find me attractive?

Don't you guys ever use a bed?

Don't you worry. Everything's gonna be all right.

Dreamer.

Drunk, definitely. I don't know if you can call it driving.

Enough!

Ever think about it?

Everybody, this is my friend and decorator, Ron Dellasandro.

Except The Stranger.

Excuse me, sir, do you have an invitation?

Excuse me, sir. We do not open until 11.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Felicia hasn't kicked me out yet.

Fine. All right then.

Food for thought.

Foolish pipe dream. I had to grab my financial opportunities while I could.

For some insane reason, I thought you'd take it badly.

Forget it, counselor.

Forgive me for not getting intimate.

Forrester is married.

Forrester said he wanted to know what I'm looking for in this relationship.

Forrester?

Forrester's waiting. Did the hospital call? Did my step monster die?

Get back in the Jeep and assume the missionary position.

Get him out of here!

Get off me! Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

Get off the phone and open this door!

Get off! He'll burn my vegetables!

Get out and open the door.

Get the car, fuck him, and if you don't like it, break the engagement.

Get your clothes, give me the keys and get out!

Get yourself some hot clothes, and get yourself a man...

Give me a break, will you?

Give me a hand!

Give me my keys.

Give me my keys.

Go find Billy. See if you can sober him up.

Go get out of hand.

God, I just wish I could get it back!

God! How do women do this every night...

Goddamn it!

Good evening.

Good luck.

Good night.

Good.

Good. I have to check in with the death squad now.

Got 50 bucks? I'll show you the meaning of life.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Great.

Great.

Great.

Guess what? You guys will never believe it.

Guess you wouldn't understand about loving someone from afar, huh?

Happy Halloween.

Have I abused our relationship too much...

Have you forgiven me for being such a horse's ass?

He almost kills you, and you're paying?

He fired her three weeks ago.

He needed the money.

He said he'd take care of me and Melody.

He still wants to marry me.

He told me nothing.

He took my new car.

He's come up with so many alternatives for my step monster's funeral.

He's in South Africa somewhere with his new wife.

He's just not ready to face reality yet. I'll get back to you.

He's not my boyfriend.

He's not my lover.

He's so fabulous, and he lives right across the hall.

He's unbelievable.

He's working at the Amoco station. I'll see what he's got.

Help!

Here!

Here. Long ride.

Here's my roommate, Judith. She hates me.

Hey, I've been an amateur gynecologist for years.

Hey, Jules, I'm sorry!

Hey, you want a date?

Hi, Alec. It's Jules. I'm over at the Van Buren Hotel.

Hi, babe.

Hi, beautiful. Like Porsches?

Hi, Billy.

Hi, Daddy.

Hi, Felicia. How you doing?

Hi, guys.

Hi, Jules. Open the door.

Hi, Myra.

Hi, Myra. Meet my friends Leslie and Jules. This is Myra.

Hi, secret love.

Hi, Wal.

Hi, you want a date?

Honey, I'll get the camera, and we'll take a photo of you guys.

Honey, open the door. It's so cold.

How about brunch Sunday?

How are you?

How come you never ask me if I want a date?

How come you never made a pass at me?

How great!

How would I know?

How'd you do?

How's Howie?

Howie, let's make this a double wedding.

Humongous future in greeting cards.

I always knew he was a Republican.

I always knew you would.

I always thought we'd be friends forever.

I am not gay. And I am not staying.

I beat out David Autry.

I believe you.

I better break this to Alec gently.

I bop him, get his job when he gets his hand caught in the vault...

I broke your shower!

I can't believe this is happening to us.

I can't believe what I did.

I can't drive that car and work with people who can't afford to eat.

I can't even organize my thoughts into anything for the paper.

I can't leave and go to Le Petit Château.

I can't.

I confronted her, and she denied everything.

I couldn't reach her, so I went over to her office.

I did win something.

I did. They fixed everything for nothing.

I didn't run out on anything. You ran out.

I don't feel very fine looking.

I don't get it.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't love him.

I don't love Howie.

I don't love Howie.

I don't pay for sex.

I don't really know you that well, but you seem like a fine person.

I don't think I have enough food to feed them.

I don't think...

I don't wanna beat around the bush.

I don't want to be friends.

I enjoy being afraid of Russia. It makes America feel better.

I ever tell you what he likes me to do with my finger?

I feel much better now.

I found out that it only costs $250 to bury a cat.

I found this place in California called the Neptune Society.

I gave him a key.

I go as long as I can, and then I just gotta have a hit.

I got a personal letter from Lee Iacocca.

I graduated.

I happen to be in love with someone, only they don't know it, okay?

I hate her.

I hate you, you little bitch!

I have a better excuse.

I have a job with the Department of Human Services.

I have a madman in my life already.

I have been needing to talk to you.

I have her hospital schedule.

I have kept many secrets.

I have my own job.

I have the perfect solution. Stay away from love.

I have to have something for myself first before I can share it with you.

I have to know. Is it the fat chick from the party?

I haven't been here for a while.

I hope we can do this again sometime.

I hope we can still be friends.

I innocently go to buy the nightgown...

I just can't deal with the little missis. Can I crash?

I just don't even know who to be anymore.

I just have to ship her there.

I knew it the minute he came in. Drugs!

I know it's fast, but I also know I love you.

I know, but I can't.

I know. It's like stopping smoking.

I love Billy.

I love her, man.

I love it!

I love it.

I love you both.

I love you.

I mean, Howie's a fine boy...

I mean, it was an accident.

I mean, there were other guys for me in high school.

I mean, there's marriage and there's family...

I moved in with Jules.

I must be able to trust you with my house, my car, my private affairs.

I need the phone.

I needed a friend tonight.

I never thought I'd be so tired at 22.

I only remember 800 pairs of shoes.

I rarely take out the garbage.

I said get your hands off my wife.

I say.

I see one of our infamous conversations is coming.

I see.

I should have known.

I should know. I've been starring in a few of my own.

I sometimes think if we hadn't ended up in the same dorm...

I steal People magazine from my dentist's office.

I still think your mother's hiding something from you.

I take it medical school is now out.

I tell you, I should've had a vasectomy at birth.

I think I'll probably be back doing obits tomorrow.

I think I'm in touch with that emotion.

I think the bars are closed.

I think...

I thought girls would think it was sexy.

I thought I was getting fired. Instead, my boss took me to dinner.

I thought I was the miracle of your life.

I thought I was the miracle.

I thought you were coming back on Thursday.

I thought you were cutting out things that don't work in your life.

I told you.

I took off work because I thought you wouldn't be here.

I used to do it all the time.

I wanna meet the woman who's turning Kirbo Keager into a doctor.

I want you out of the apartment tonight.

I want you to be honest.

I want you to know that I believe you, and I'm sorry I hit you.

I want you to make another emergency breakthrough. Do you hear me?

I was confused and angry, and I care about him deeply.

I was handpicked as special attaché to Mr. Kim Sung Ho.

I was kidding.

I was out of hand! It was a metaphysical precision collision.

I was thinking of hanging around and being...

I wish everything could be like it was, all of us friends.

I won't come between two old roommates.

I wondered how long it'd take till you asked me.

I work out of my house. You must be available 24 hours a day.

I wouldn't hold your breath.

I, of course, have the wrong hair.

I, of course, have the wrong hair.

I'd be very happy to find a lovely table for you...

I'd like to see you there.

I'd like to write about the meaning of life.

I'll be fine here.

I'll call you back.

I'll find Billy.

I'll get you the rest once I get settled in New York.

I'll never be a cop in D.C.

I'll stay in the car!

I'll talk to you guys later, okay? Sorry. I have to go.

I'm a slob. I can't even make a bed straight.

I'm afraid you'll have to speak with Forrester Davidson.

I'm beginning to think there aren't any accidents.

I'm coming through this door!

I'm fat, I'm thin. I'm blond, I'm brunette.

I'm fine.

I'm getting a boner now!

I'm going in.

I'm going upstairs.

I'm gonna get the right job.

I'm gonna get you a red, lacy babydoll nightgown.

I'm gonna kill myself.

I'm gonna show Jules your piece.

I'm gonna try life without any miracles for a while.

I'm happy in your pajamas, thank you very much.

I'm happy when you're out of my pajamas...

I'm in the greeting cards business. I work for Wendy's brother in law.

I'm just so tired.

I'm just trying to facilitate the marriage process.

I'm not part of this after college life.

I'm not proud of my behavior.

I'm obsessed, thank you very much.

I'm only gonna ask you this once.

I'm serious. I said no!

I'm sick.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm sorry to bother you here.

I'm sorry, Wendy.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. You're allowed to have fun when you're screwing.

I'm taking Thriller...

I'm throwing a little party at Kim's house on Saturday night.

I'm very average. Full of flaws.

I'm your man, Mr. Kim.

I've been sitting in the hospital with my step monster.

I've done a lot for you too. Pull me up.

I've gotta go. I just remembered I'm supposed to meet Forrester.

I've gotta go. Nice seeing you.

I've had a shit year.

I've lost 20 of them since graduation.

I've never lied to you since the day I met you, you cocky shithead!

I've seen enough pink for today, thank you very much.

If I can be of any assistance...

If I can find someone who's fool enough to let me play my sax.

If I don't come up with a cheaper solution, I'll end up a bag lady.

If I don't find him, I'll be stuck paying for her funeral.

If Leslie would just marry me.

If we could find the money, it would be better to get a longer sofa.

If you and Alec don't get married, I don't know who should.

If you ever have boys, do them a favor and get them neutered right away.

If you'd get married and run a franchise...

Impact.

In a new development, a handful of hair in the shower this morning.

In about three or four weeks.

In eighth grade...

In everyday life, there's just no way...

International banking has gotten sexier.

Is $200 enough?

Is he kidding?

Is that a coffin?

Is there some insane irony to this or what?

Is this person a he or a she?

Isn't Hodges a Republican?

It happened.

It helped me grow up a lot, made me see how stupid I was being.

It is that.

It is tomorrow.

It means I'm officially thinking about it.

It really is. He's helped me so much.

It started!

It turns out cremation is just as expensive as the non torch method.

It was just a hunch...

It's a secret. I guess you wouldn't understand that either.

It's a step up.

It's because of you.

It's busy. Where'd you go?

It's cool.

It's cool. It ain't a party till something gets broken.

It's for Keager. Party of two, 1:00. And I want this table.

It's gonna be a long night.

It's good, isn't it? I like it.

It's interesting. I forgot to spin at the end.

It's Jules. Did I wake you?

It's not the fat chick.

It's nutritious.

It's okay. We all love Alec. He's our hero.

It's only peppers, Al.

It's our time on the edge.

It's scary to think of spending my whole life with him.

It's St. Elmo's fire.

It's still sticky.

It's still the same. Small and ugly.

It's your scuba suit.

Join the club.

Judy, I have to pay for my stepmom's funeral, then I'll catch up.

Jules, honey, it's me!

Jules, please. Is that your date?

Jules, sometimes I think you make these dramas up to test me.

Jules, there's the brink of insanity, and then there is the abyss...

Jules, why do I feel like I'm not here by accident?

Jules, you're advanced on your salary by two months.

Jules.

Jules.

Jules' boss and lover.

Junior high, I played bongos in a band, and I fell in love with the singer.

Just give me my check.

Just like you're making up all of this.

Just sickness.

Keep the car. You and Howie will need it.

Kev, I knew you'd like it.

Kev, you've got a problem.

Kevin has his first byline.

Kevin is so fond of Mahler.

Kevin, I'm curious.

Kevin, stir the vegetables.

Kevin, there are several quintessential moments in a man's life:

Kevin, you need to stop thinking so much and fall in love again.

Kevin, you've been in love.

Kevin!

Kevin's here. He says he wants to say hello.

Kim...

Kirbo, come here. Where have you been?

Kirbo, you need any help?

Kirby Keager.

Kirby, please.

Kirby, stop! Come inside!

Kirby!

Kirby! What are you doing here?

Ladies, please, have a little perspective.

Last night, I woke up...

Later, dude.

Leslie has to marry me soon.

Leslie, did I tell you?

Leslie, this is the '80s.

Let me drive you home.

Let me just introduce you to Ron. He's gay too, and he's so fabulous.

Let's get a drink.

Let's get a drink.

Let's kill her.

Let's rock!

Life in the fat lane.

Like just...

Like when you decided I was adopted.

Listen, you stupid pig!

Look at me. Are you hard? No.

Look at this creep.

Look no further, Mr. Kim. I'm your man.

Look, there's gonna be no more drinking.

Look, this face seats five.

Losing his virginity, getting married...

Love sucks.

Love, marriage, children, relationships. It's all insane.

Make room. The kid can't fly on one wing.

Marriage is obsolete.

Marriage will make you faithful?

May I assume the accident left you injury free?

Maybe we should let Wendy handle it.

Me neither.

Me?

Me? Oh, you know, it ain't easy being me.

Men: Can't live with them, can't shoot them.

Miss Beamish won't press charges, so why not let it slide?

Miss Biberman?

Moi?

Mom, you look beautiful.

Moving up, Kirbo.

Mr. Kim finds out you're having a party, and you'll be out in the street.

Munitions.

My God! Wendy's up there too!

My mother finds certain words too horrible to utter...

My parents gave me the car. I bet I was conceived in the back seat.

My perfect sister and her perfect husband are getting a perfect divorce.

My step monster?

My thighs are fat.

Nameless, faceless many!

Naomi?

Never mind.

Never trust a woman who says she isn't angry.

Next day she ran off with a bassist named Ringo.

Nice meeting you, Myra.

Nice meeting you.

Nice to meet you. You wanna sit with us?

No diet works.

No one was buying this together woman of the eighties stuff anyway.

No Springsteen leaves this house!

No way that this is happening.

No way.

No way. He won't be home until Sunday.

No, I said I'm sorry I woke the baby.

No, I'm not afraid to commit.

No, it's fine.

No, Jules, actually that was a scam that Leslie and I worked out...

No, no. It was Annie Hall.

No, you did not.

No, you will not.

No.

No.

No.

No. I think mine is.

Noble how you ran up to save your lover.

Not everyone got recruited out of school into international banking.

Not now, but I'll have him wave up.

Not so many kids.

Not so noisy.

Not to me.

Not while I'm still a virgin.

Nothing.

Now!

Obituaries isn't writing. All my characters die.

Of course, I'll have alligator bags.

Of course, she's in a coma, which really pisses me off.

Of course, you do know what it means to have drunk driving on your record?

Oh, by the way, I want you to meet my decorator, Ron.

Oh, come on.

Oh, God, look at this.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, great. That'd be great.

Oh, how nice.

Oh, I love you! I've always loved you!

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, let's not be dramatic.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God. You're right.

Oh, never. They're more effect to impress young ladies.

Oh, no?

Oh, please.

Oh, they'll let you play. You're really...

Oh, watch the crease. Watch the crease.

Oh, we'll have plenty. We'll be fine. There'll be enough.

Oh, well, now we're excited.

Okay, Billy.

Okay, Billy.

Okay, call Mary Dusit at that number.

Okay, you're under arrest.

Okay?

Okay.

Okay. Thanks.

Old times.

On June 1...

On which you'll type your way to becoming one of the best...

Once I'm back in school, I'll work part time for a law firm.

One night, I got high on cheap malt liquor, and I pledged my love to her.

Only six ******* families.

Only way to lose weight in your thighs is amputation.

Only you're the first woman, and I blew all my props already.

Open the door!

Open this goddamn door!

Open up!

Or if she's worth it, get an import to impress her.

Our purpose is to get you off welfare and train you in a skilled profession.

People have died out here.

Please come inside.

Please, I need your help.

Please? I'm in the Potomac Suite.

Please.

Plus a wife and kid.

Prison.

Quiet, please!

Quiet, please!

Quiet, please. Everyone!

Quite a thrill.

Really?

Really? That's great. Let me see.

Remember Ray Slater?

Remember that big fountain? The one on main campus that says...

Remember that?

Right.

Right.

Right. Kirby. How are you?

Ron, Kevin's here! Kevin, wait, please.

Ron!

Ron?

Roomies again.

Rough day on the right wing?

Russia feels national worth from our paranoia.

Sailors would guide entire journeys by it. But there was no fire.

Say, Bill, the day I married Rachael...

Says who?

School was pretty out of hand.

See the officer about that.

Seems like old times, huh, Billy boy?

Seen Billy?

Senator Hodges?

Set up my drafting table so we can have coffee on it.

Sex isn't love.

Sex used to be a free thing. No more. Alimony. Palimony.

She lost all my Dad's money, is on her deathbed and puts me as her next of kin.

She might have exceeded the limit on her father's VISA.

She went skiing.

She won't release it? Did you tell her who's calling?

She won't release it? Did you tell her who's calling?

She's about yea tall. Long dark hair, beautiful face.

She's about yea tall. Long dark hair, beautiful face.

She's been pretending to go to work...

She's got it deadbolted.

She's the only evidence of God I can find.

She's worse.

Should we call the police or fire department?

Sit down. Let's relax.

Six franchises.

Skid.

Smile.

So are the rest of you. Everybody out!

So are you still...

So are you.

So do I.

So does this mean that you're officially engaged?

So does your attitude.

So drive carefully.

So I figured, why don't I just put my step monster into a large cat suit?

So I told him love, companionship and the vice presidency.

So I've wandered into a real woman trap here, haven't I?

So just leave me alone! Get away from me and leave me alone!

So the two of you are moving in together.

So there were six of you.

So we do it in the dressing room in front of a three way mirror.

So what do you think?

So what's up?

So when did you get so sane?

So would he.

So you gonna get the old job back?

Somebody get me a screwdriver.

Somebody give me a hand! Come on!

Sorry. Thank you.

Sounds like you have your boss wrapped around your finger.

Speaking of which, not to get ahead of myself, but I was thinking...

Still like Woody Allen?

Stir those vegetables.

Stop it, please.

Stop it! Do you think this is helping Jules?

Stop it! You'll kill him!

Stuey Newman?

Sure. Wait, it'll just be a second.

Take your hands off my wife.

Talented, Billy.

Tell me something.

Thank God it's payday!

Thank you for being honest.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm very committed.

Thanks, Alec.

Thanks, guys.

Thanks, Kirby. I'll try.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That is.

That isn't a job. It's killing time until you get married.

That means that you were sitting there with all these feelings...

That sounds good. So we meet here around 12:30?

That was it.

That's another thing.

That's better.

That's cool. I'll wait.

That's from Annie Hall. The movie we saw together. Remember?
