Question about something that Michael said


Michael is talking to Cameron about Bogey's party. He holds the flyer for the party and it morphs into "Free beer" and they throw them off the top floor.

Before doing that, Michael says, "And now for a little payback...."

Why did Michael want to get back at Bogey? I seemed to have missed why he'd want to ruin Bogey's party. Because Bogey didn't let him join their future MBA club?

reply

I'm pretty sure it's because Bogey became the new "idol" to the clique. At the beginning when he's showing Cameron around he says yesterday I was like a god to these guys.

reply

Because Bogey kicked him out of the Future MBAs club. Michael says to Cameron in the beginning of the movie that it was because Bogey started a rumor that Michael "buys [his] Izods at an outlet mall."

Thanks! I seemed to have missed that.

Love this movie!

He's explaining all the cliques so it's a lot of fast dialogue, so it's easy to miss as you just met these characters terms you don't know what's important yet.

It's funny I'm just watching this for the 100th time... And this is the first viewing where I took on board that whole bit and the reason he wanted to ruin his party

Same here. I watched this movie for the thousandth time on Freeform the other day, and it was the first time I caught the part about the rumor Bogey spread. Pretty funny. Anyway, I would say other than for nostalgia's sake, this is the beauty of watching a movie over and over again. If you really like it, it's so worth turning on the subtitles and watching it at least one more time.
