“Tension breaker… Had to be done.'”

From: Summer School

Genre: Movies

Who said it?: Francis “Chainsaw” Gremp

The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the 1987 high school comedy Summer School. The film stars Mark Harmon as Freddy Shoop, a gym teacher forced to teach a group of slackers remedial English throughout summer school.

The quote happens near the end of the film, with all of the students from the summer school about to take their final exam. When Mr. Shoop asks them if they’re ready, one of the students, Francis “Chainsaw” Gremp (played by Dean Cameron) lets out a scream. He then explains why he did that with the quote.

Geek wisdom: Sometimes, the pressure within us can just build up and up and we have to find some kind of way to release it. It may not be a primal scream but you do have to do something to relieve it just so you can get back to normal.
