The US flag lapel pin. The sign of someone who truly loves America. If you're not wearing one right now, you probably are rooting for the terrorists. Way to go, Guy / Gal!We'll start with a true American classic, Animal House:
Otis, my man!! Otis LOVES the U.S.!
Our quote comes from a scene where the upstanding citizens of Delta house find themselves in a disciplinary meeting and are in danger of being disbanded. Delta house president Hoover (James Widdoes), Boon (Peter Riegert) and Eric "Otter" Stratton (Tim Matheson) represent the fraternity members in the hearing:
Otter: "Point of parliamentary procedure!"
Hoover (whispering to Otter): "Don't screw around, they're serious this time!"
Otter: "Take it easy, I'm pre-law."
Boon: "I thought you were pre-med."
Otter: "What's the difference?
(stands to address the committee)
Ladies and gentlemen, I'll be brief. The issue here is not whether we broke a few rules, or took a few liberties with our female party guests - we did. [winks at Dean Wormer] But you can't hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn't this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg - isn't this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but I for one am not going to stand here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!"
[Otter leads the Deltas out of the hearing, all humming the Star-Spangled Banner]
Wormer? He's a dead man. Marmalard? Dead. Scott Niedermayer? Dead!
