The IRS cuts off Jim's credit, and his credit cards are declined when he tries to buy Diane a luggage set, as the investigation drags on.Īt dawn, Lloyd plays " In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel, the song that was playing when they became intimate, on a boombox while standing under her open bedroom window. Devastated, Lloyd seeks advice from Corey, who tells him to "be a man". Diane, worried about her father, tells Lloyd she wants to stop seeing him and concentrate on her studies, and tells him to take her pen. Jim urges Diane to break up with Lloyd, feeling he is not an appropriate match, and suggests she give Lloyd a pen as a parting gift. Lloyd's musician friend Corey, who has never gotten over her cheating ex-boyfriend, Joe, warns him to take care of Diane. Their relationship grows intimate and they have sex, to her father's concern. Diane takes Lloyd to meet the residents of the retirement home and he teaches her to drive the manual-transmission Ford Tempo that her father gave her as a graduation present. Their next "date" is a dinner at the Court household, where Lloyd fails to impress Diane's family, and Jim is informed that he is under investigation by the Internal Revenue Service. She agrees, to the surprise of her classmates.
Lloyd asks Diane to accompany him to their after-graduation all-night party. She is due to take up a prestigious fellowship in Britain at the end of the summer. Diane comes from a sheltered academic upbringing and lives with her doting divorced father Jim ( John Mahoney), who owns the retirement home where she works. Lloyd's parents are in England on Air Force duty, so he lives with his sister Constance ( Joan Cusack, uncredited), a single mother, and has no plans for his future. Near the end of their senior year of high school, noble underachiever Lloyd Dobler ( John Cusack) falls for valedictorian Diane Court ( Ione Skye) and plans to ask her out, though they belong to different social groups.
