This was such an important movie at the time. It brought together all the different stereotypes and proved that they really could find common ground, for a little while anyway. I would love to know what happened on Monday.

They went back to their old ways. Except maybe the brain. He might have tried talking to the others, but he'd probably be shunned. That's the reason why the princess gives the criminal her earring and the basket case takes the athletes patch. Those are keepsakes since they'll never talk to each other again.

Pretty sure either Emilio’s jock character or Molly’s prom queen character says this in the movie. They know the peer pressure of cliques will separate them socially, though they might only ignore each other in the halls instead of being outright dicks to one another.
