But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...

Brian Johnson: Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club."

According to director Walter Hill, the film's origins came out of a desire to make what he thought was a perfect film when he was a teenager and put in all of the things that he thought were "great then and which I still have great affection for: custom cars, kissing in the rain, neon, trains in the night, high-speed pursuit, rumbles, rock stars, motorcycles, jokes in tough situations, leather jackets and questions of honour".

I love you just the way you are"

When you come around you bring brighter days
You're the perfect one

And I will love you so for always
Ooh, ooh
I will love you so, for always"

Considered the #1 love duet every written by Country Music Television (CMT), "Islands in the Stream" was first recorded by country music superstars Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. It was written by the Bee Gees.
I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah ha
Making love with each other, ah ha

Listen to your heart
Screamin' at the sky
Can't you feel it tremble?
Don't you wonder why?
I wish, I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
If you're lost, you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall, I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
Two hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
