Screenplay data
Recently graduated high school, cynical best friends Enid and Rebecca spend their summer aimlessly mocking people and situations, eventually fixating on Seymour, a lonely, middle-aged record collector they initially prank. Enid, feeling increasingly alienated from Rebecca who is ready to move on with her life, develops an unlikely friendship with Seymour, bonding over their shared disdain for modern culture and Enid's artistic aspirations. As Enid's art teacher encourages her to embrace her unique vision, Enid's relationship with Seymour deepens, leading to a complicated, almost romantic tension that is ultimately unfulfilled. After a series of disappointments, including failing summer art class and a falling out with Rebecca, Enid decides to leave town, boarding a bus with the eccentric local Norman, finally finding her own path away from the ghost world she inhabited.

Enid, Rebecca, JoshI think that Phillip and Enid can help us to see that there are-many different ways we can express ourselves. We can do things like these cartoons that are amusing as a sort of light entertainment or we can do work that is more serious in scope and feeling and that deals with issues; emotional, spiritual, political; of great importance. I hope that you will each have the tools to do that type of work by the end of this class.
Jesus! Listen to this one: "Do you remember me? Airport shuttle, June 7th. You: striking redhead with yellow dress, pearl necklace, brown shoes. I was the bookish fellow in the green cardigan who helped you find your contact lens. Am I crazy, or did we have a moment?"
You think it's healthy to obsessively collect things? You can't connect with other people so you fill your life with stuff... I'm just like all the rest of these pathetic collector losers.
Maybe she was just using you to try and get back at some guy. Who knows? It could be a million things. It's wasted time trying to logically figure out the female brain, that's for sure.
Well, Maxine thinks she can get you a sales job at Computer Station. Normally you have to have references and at least two years of experience, but she thinks she can convince them.
I... I didn't think you would have any interest in this get together... I mean if you had told me you were coming I would have warned you -- it's not like a real party or anything.
If you really want to "fuck up the system" - you should go to business school -- that's what I'm gonna do: get a job at some big corporation and fuck things up from the inside!
It's a mongoose... they eat snakes... you never heard of a mongoose? That's a classic piece of vintage taxidermy. Nobody alive today knows how to do work like that.
