| “ | Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are and you see us as you want to see us: In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain... {…} Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, The Breakfast Club. | „ |
| ~ Brian's famous narration at the end of the film. |
Brian Johnson is the brain of the group and the tritagonist in the 1985 film, The Breakfast Club.
He is played by Anthony Michael Hall. His real-life mother and sister, Mercedes Hall and Mary Christian, played the character's mother and sister, respectively.
He was given Saturday detention because, after getting an F in a science project, he attempted to shoot himself in the locker room. His parents are greatly controlling of Brian having perfect grades, causing him to feel pressure, and lead to his attempt to commit suicide. His attempt failed due to the flare gun going off in his locker, something he and group later laugh about in detention.
He has trouble adapting to the others at first and tries to maintain peace, with little to no success. He writes the essay to give to Mr. Vernon at the end of the film by calling the group "The Breakfast Club".
