"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is about just that: a very popular high school student, Ferris Bueller, decides that he is above such petty inconveniences as going to school and fakes illness to get out of it for one day. Ferris says this to his best friend, Cameron, while they're at a baseball game, meaning that if they hadn't gone to such extreme measures to get out of school that day, they would be in gym class.

"Stand by Me" is based on Stephen King's novel, "The Body". It's about four kids who run away for a couple days on a quest to find the body of a local kid who went missing. Gordie says this one night while they're sitting around, discussing the things that 'used to seem important, until they discovered girls'.

Answer: The Breakfast Club

"The Breakfast Club" is a movie that was made in the mid-80s. It is about five high school students who are spending one Saturday together in detention. They couldn't be more different, but they learn more about each other than they ever thought possible.

This quote is said by "the Criminal" - John - to "the Jock" - Andy. By this, he means "Why would I speak for you? We're so different, we practically come from different planets!" They had never spoken prior to this day, and wouldn't have, without the circumstances they were in.

Answer: The Benchwarmers

"The Benchwarmers" is about three older guys, as they call them in the movie, who form a baseball team to represent the kids who sit out every game and never get to play. Only one of them is good; the other two just kinda stand there. The character Richie (not the good one) says this quote while stepping up to the plate.

The catcher is heavy-set and Richie isn't shy about pointing it out. I'm sure he says it just to distract the catcher and to make him lose his focus.

Benjamin plans to exploit the show, but the guys are too dim-witted to notice that. Garth says this to Benjamin after he is asked "What do think about a little change?" Garth is sure that whatever Benjamin has to change about the show cannot be good.

Answer: Anchorman

"Anchorman" is about famous local news anchor, Ron Burgandy. Things are going great for him until he meets his new coworker, Veronica Corningstone. They fall in love, but things turn for the worse when Veronica takes Ron's place on the news, one day in his absence.

She's a huge success and they hate each other from then on. Ron says this quote to Veronica during a fight in which they say stupid, meaningless insults to each other, back and forth.

Answer: Miss Congeniality

"Miss Congeniality" is about a female agent who goes undercover as a Miss America contestant, to solve a case. She is not too keen to go through with this assignment, because it is definitely an understatement to say that she is nothing like the contestants in the pageant. Victor, her stylist, says this to Gracie, the agent, as she eats a steak with her mouth open. Anybody who has seen someone talk and eat with their mouth open (at the same time) knows that it is nothing short of disgusting, as Victor notices at this point.

He is trying to make her into a lady, and he knows he's got his work cut out for him when he sees her eat.
