Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Howard Deutch
Starring: Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson, Craig Sheffer, Mary Stuart Masterson
Keith and Amanda go out on their date in a limo driven by Watts (the tomboy). They hit it off and Keith gives Amanda diamond earrings. They go to Hardy's party and are confronted by him and his friends. Keith tries to fight Hardy and is pulled back by his friends. Just as they are going to beat Keith up, the tough guys of the school (who Keith made friends with in detention) show up and save him. Amanda slaps Hardy and she and Keith leave together. Amanda then tells Keith she would rather be on her own for a while. Amanda gives Keith back the earrings and leaves. Keith realises he is in love with Watts and runs after her and gives her the earrings and they wind up together.

Watts: Because I'm driving you crazy and you're driving me crazy and I'd rather not see you and have you think good things about me than have you see me and hate me. 'Cause I can't afford to have you hate me, Keith. The only things I care about in this goddamn life are me and my drums and you.
Trivia: John Hughes wrote the role of Amanda Jones for specifically Molly Ringwald to play. When she refused, Lea Thompson picked up the role but Hughes has now refused to work with Ringwald because she turned the film down.
