For some reason, I've got the movie "Heathers" stuck in my brain at the moment. I used to watch it so often as a teenager I've got whole chunks of dialogue stuck in there. Today it's this chunk:



Veronica: "We're sick of being experimented on like guinea pigs or patronized like bunny rabbits--we just want to be treated like human beings!!"

Veronica's dad: "I don't patronize bunny rabbits!!"

Veronica's mom: "Treated like a human being? Is that what you said, little miss Voice of a Generation? How do you think human beings treat other human beings? Do you think it's all a game of doubles tennis? When teenagers complain they're not being treated like human beings, it's usually because they *are* being treated like human beings!"

Veronica: "Guess I picked the wrong time to be a human being..."

Veronica's mom: "You'll live... ...Want some pate'?"





I know it's probably not as accurate as I'd like but it's such a funny, apropos scene today...

I've got a jones to see it again for some reason. Nostalgia for my not-so-hot teen years perhaps? Or maybe it's just that good:)

it definitely had some interesting bits in there...I've always liked it for it's social satire.
