Quote from Murray in Pretty in Pink
Beverly: Murray, your child is in crisis. Murray: What are you talking about? He's going with the most popular girl in school. Therefore, he's popular. Adam: It does? Murray: Yeah. Kids are morons. They see you with that girl, then they think you're special, and before you know it, you're elected captain of the dance. Beverly: It's not that easy, Murray. Adam: But Dad's saying it is, which fits with my agenda. By tomorrow, I'll be sitting on that prom court! Beverly: Well, for your sake, I hope so. But if not, you've got your pick of your mom's bras. Murray: Yeah, you're a lucky boy.
