    	Could someone tell me what happened at the end?
    
    	I was watching it the other day and the cable crapped out at
    	T-10 minutes.
    
    	Thanks!!
    
1164.2HERE IS THE ENDINGPCBUOA::CHENARDMon Sep 09 1996 13:0122
    She ends up going to the prom alone.  As she is walking in
    Duckie meets her at the top of the stairs and she is so happy
    to see him.
    
    When they walk in she sees Andrew McCarthy (Blane) has also gone
    there alone.  He walks over to her and apologizes and says basically
    that he was a fool.  They make up - Duckie gives her the go 
    ahead and they leave the prom together.  Duckie in the meantime
    sees that this very pretty girl is giving him the eye and he
    walks over to her and they start to dance.
    
    It ends with Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy kissing in the
    parking lot.
    
    I love this movie and always try to see it when it is on.  I almost
    like Duckie and the Annie Potts character more than the main
    characters.  Especially when Duckie comes into the record store
    and starts lip-synching/singing.

    	Thanks!!
    
    	I'd never seen it before, and I did like it.
    
    	Looks like Duckie's girl was played by Kristy Swanson, and
    	I'd forget Molly Ringwald pretty quickly if Kristy were giv-
    	ing ME the eye too.  8^)
    
      	Jon Cryer [Duckie] is 1 of my favorites.  All [or at least
    	most] of his movies are definitely worth watching.

I loved this film too, but its been a looooong time since I saw it. The above is
definitely one of the best scenes !
