Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsAccording to the guys, Cherry Forever and John Conklin were married. There is no way one could believe an interracial couple would even be living together, much less married, in Florida in the 1950s, even though South Florida is less "Southern" than the rest of the state. Furthermore, cohabitation between an interracial couple (married or not) was illegal in Florida until 1964.
They weren't really married, it was part of the prank and the boys would be in no place to question the living arrangements of a prostitute, especially when they are being chased by a large angry black man.
- Quotes
Balbricker: [1:07:15] Now, Mr. Carter. I know this is completely unorthodox. But I think this is the only way to find that boy. Now that penis had a mole on it - I'd recognize that penis anywhere. In spite of the juvenile snickers of some, this is a serious matter. That seducer and despoiler must be stopped; he's extremely dangerous. And, Mr. Carter, I'm certain that everyone in this room knows who that is. He's a contemptible little pervert who...
Mr. Carter: [abrupt] Miss Balbricker!
Balbricker: Well, I'm sorry, but I've got him now, and I'm not going to let him slip through my fingers again
[a murmur of mirth rises from several occupants]
Balbricker: . Now, all I'm asking is that you give me five boys for a few minutes. The coaches can be present - Tommy Turner and any four boys you see fit to choose and we... and we... can put a stop to this menace. And it is a menace.
[pause]
Balbricker: [irritably] Well, what are you gonna do about it?
[Carter hums and hars]
Mr. Carter: Err
[finally speaks]
Mr. Carter: Five young boys in the nude, a police line-up so that you can identify his tallywhacker.
[sighs]
Mr. Carter: Please, please can we call it a "tallywhacker"? Penis is so ppp... penis is so personal.
Balbricker: We can put hoods over their heads to avoid embarrassment
[Carter repeats "Hoods" in disbelief]
Balbricker: . Now listen: we have got to do it, as distasteful as it is. I know it's him. That
[pause]
Balbricker: tallywhacker had a mole on it. And that mole is the key to it.
Mr. Carter: Miss Balbricker, do you realize the difficulty of your request? Now, I would be very happy to, uh, to apprehend the young man myself. But can you imagine what the board of education would say if you were granted a line-up in order to examine their private pa... aaa... their... yaha...
[composes himself]
Mr. Carter: their private parts
[now firmly]
Mr. Carter: for an incriminating mole?
Balbricker: But Mr. Carter.
Coach Brakett: [stops stifling his giggling and speaks up] Mr. Carter, I think I have a way out of this. We, uh, call the police, and we have 'em send over one of their sketch artists.
[Carter rolls his eyes]
Coach Brakett: And Miss Balbricker can give a description. We can put up "Wanted" posters all over school... "Have you seen this prick?
[Carter struggles not to grin]
Coach Brakett: Report immediately to Beulah Balbricker. Do not attempt to apprehend this prick, as it is armed and dangerous.
[falls off his chair]
Coach Brakett: It was last seen hanging out in the girls' locker room at Angel Beach High School."
[everyone including Carter falls about laughing in hysterics as an enraged Balbricker storms out in a fury]
- Crazy creditsAs the end credits roll, an additional scene is shown featuring Pee-wee and Wendy on a school bus. Also, Balbricker returns one final time in her never-ending quest to punish the boys.
- Alternate versionsIn a tv version, the boys are wearing underwear as they run from Cherry Forever's house. In the theatrical version they cover themselves with their hands.
Any fan of American Pie owes it to themselves to see what started it all, and in many ways delivers far more. Tons of nudity, profanity and laughs make this an R-rated treat.
