Carpenter should of never let Debra Hill write any of the dialogue

No female in the history of High School ever said “so I always forget my books, who needs books anyways, I mean you don’t ever really need your books”.

That’s just bad dialogue and you know it, come on now.

If you are talking about the girls' dialogue on the walk home from school, that's pretty dang realistic and accurate. When I was in high school and overhead (and slightly eavesdropped) on girls talking in the halls between classes, before and after school, at lunch, out in the school parking lot, and also in classes, they sounded EXACTLY like how Laurie, Annie, and Lynda talked in the remake when they were walking home from school. I've even overheard and eavesdropped on my older sister and her friends talking to each other. They sounded VERY much like the three girls in the remake. I still hear that kind of talk among teen girls when I'm out and about and overhear their conversations when they walk by or if I walk by them. Sometimes college girls sound like that too.

So females can’t write bad dialogue for other females? Explain your brilliant logic to us please.

I always thought this is how teenagers talked back in the 70's...It never bothered me, totally.

I've never minded the dialogue at all, personally. It seems cute and probably semi-accurate for the time period.
