The 25 Naughtiest Schoolgirls In Movies

Girl-on-girl sexual tension at an all-girls boarding school is reason to watch the new movie Cracks. It's also more than enough reason for this examination of student bodies.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall inside the all-girls boarding school at the center of Cracks, a new British drama opening in limited release this weekend. Taking place during the 1930s, the sensual flick hones in on a circle of attractive teenage girls (including Juno Temple, Imogen Poots, and Maria Valverde) who are all easy on the eyes and romantically smitten by their hot swimming instructor (Casino Royale’s Eva Green). As Green takes a liking to new student Valverde, the rest of the ladies become jealous and start bullying their more desired peer. Tons of girl-on-girl sexual tension. A student body made up of hot bodies. We’ll just be frank here: Cracks makes us wish we could travel back to the ’30s, don a long wig, and relive high school all over again.



Sure, the plot heads into some dark and seedy places, particularly when Green inappropriately fondles Valverde, but let’s keep things positive here, shall we? Think back to your secondary school days for a second. Despite what your mother told you, chances are the bad girls in classrooms ticked your fancy more than the studious ones. Don’t be ashamed—we’re of the same mentality. Which is why movie characters like the pretty little hellraisers in Cracks will forever take precedence over bookworms and rule-abiding ladies of student government.



Even if British dramas aren’t your thing, use the release of Cracks as an excuse to reacquaint yourselves with the 25 Naughtiest Schoolgirls in Movies. Just imagine what sort of disciplinary action you’d take on them.

25. PHOEBE CATES AS LINDA IN FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH (1982)

In the timeless ’80s standard Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Phoebe Cates is like a younger and hotter Dr. Ruth. As Linda, the experienced best friend of insecure Stacy (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Cates dishes out sexual wisdom with a sailor’s mouth and a phone sex operator’s lack of inhibition. Her visual lesson on how to give a blowjob (guest starring the most defiled carrot this side of Babs Bunny’s dirtiest thoughts) alone is a Master’s class in naughty expertise.



Adding to Linda’s troublemaking ways, she’s also not a fan of knocking before entering rooms. Stacy’s older brother Brad (Judge Reinhold) learns this the hard way while he’s fantasizing about a dripping wet Linda taking off her red bikini. She whips opens the bathroom door, just as Brad’s trying to rub one out. He should’ve just used a carrot.

Joyce Hyser

24. JOYCE HYSER AS TERRY GRIFFITH IN JUST ONE OF THE GUYS (1985)

Joyce Hyser’s naughtiness in the cross-dressing ’80s comedy Just One Of The Guys is twofold. On one end, she poses as a short-haired tool of a boy in order to write an investigative story for her school’s newspaper, fooling an entire rival high school in the process. Amongst other sexually confused hijinks, she pisses off a group of stereotypical bullies (led by perennial ’80s teen villain William Zabka) and fumbles her way through a blind date with the sexy Sherilyn Fenn. The latter scene ends without any hot girl-on-girl action, which is naughty for all the wrong reasons.



The other ill-advised side of Hyser’s testosterone makeover is much simpler to explain: The men’s clothing and K.D. Lang hairdo she sports as a dude stifle our chances to drool over her looking like she does in the above photo. When a girl is as hot as Hyser, it’s downright criminal to initiate a sex change. To quote the wise Jonah Hill in Superbad, “That’s like slapping God in the face for giving you a beautiful gift.”

Meagan Good

23. MEAGAN GOOD AS KARA IN BRICK (2005)

Writer-director Rian Johnson’s Brick is a clever and deftly executed modern-day noir set inside a high school full of kids who speak like James Cagney. It’s also complete with treacherous dames, key ingredients to any good noir.



Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a heartbroken loner out to avenge his girlfriend’s murder. One of his information providers is drama queen Kara, played with Eartha Kitt-like smokiness by Meagan Good. She’s a play actress who always gets her way and is quick to tease men with her body while dropping dime on her fellow untrustworthy peers. Good’s screen time is limited in Brick, but she makes every second count. We’d like to see the staunchest of “No Snitching” preachers shun her alternately ratty and seductive methods.

22. JORDANA BREWSTER AS DELILAH PROFIT IN THE FACULTY (1998)

By the time the alien parasites take over the high school in Robert Rodriguez’s The Faculty, Delilah Profit’s (Jordana Brewster) attitude is already out-of-this-world bitchy. In addition to running the student newspaper, Delilah dates the varsity quarterback under stipulations, chief of her prima donna rules being he can’t quit the football team. If he does (and he really wants to), she’ll drop him like a fumble. Romantic penalty!



Even worse, Delilah gets her jollies from taunting the socially awkward girl, Stokely (Clea DuVall), who secretly has a thing for her pigskin thrower of a boyfriend. The persecution is more mental than physical; Delilah, who thinks Stokely is a lesbian, fires all kinds of homophobic insults at her target.



All that being said, it’s not a surprise that Delilah is actually at her best when she’s under the parasite’s evil spell. Besides still looking immensely fine, possessed Delilah is also more apt to use her sexuality to get what she wants. Those parasitic aliens deserve some sort of medal for the improvements.

Olivia Thirlby

21. OLIVIA THIRLBY AS LEAH IN JUNO (2007)

In director Jason Reitman’s critical darling, Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) commits such grievances as getting pregnant while in high school, talking on a hamburger telephone, and saying ridiculously corny and unrealistic shit like “Will you be the cheese to my macaroni?” But here’s the crazy part: In our eyes, she’s not even the movie’s most wayward lady.



That honor goes to Juno’s righthand gal Leah, played by the insanely cute Olivia Thirlby. Though Leah uses slang that’s just as lame (“Honest to blog”—who says that?), her scandalous nature manifests the strongest in her choice of men. Instead of meathead jocks, Juno’s cheerleader friend crushes on older men, namely a fifty-something English teacher who resembles a darker-bearded Colonel Sanders. Not only is her sexual preference illegal, Leah’s flirtations with elder professors also deprives her horny male peers the chance to be the hot dog to her buns. Ms. MacGuff couldn’t have said it better herself.

P.J. Soles

20. P.J. SOLES AS RIFF RANDALL IN ROCK ‘N’ ROLL HIGH SCHOOL (1979)

Riff Randall doesn’t have time for homework or afterschool groups—she’s too busy sweating Joey Ramone and jamming to her beloved rock music. Figuratively jamming her air guitar up her teachers’ asses, Riff and her fellow juvenile troublemakers eventually bumrush the principal’s office and siege control of their school.



P.J. Soles, one of the ’70s quintessential genre queens, let loose as the obsessive music head; it’s difficult to watch Rock ‘n’ Roll High School and not want to buy some leather pants, grow our hair out, and prowl around Hot Topic to attract her type.

Stockard Channing

19. STOCKARD CHANNING AS BETTY RIZZO IN GREASE (1978)

When one thinks of Grease, pleasant memories and happy times are most likely at the mind’s forefront. On the surface, John Travolta’s seminal film is all smiles and pink roses. The peppy musical holds down fort in the annals of classic cinema, mainly because it’s that rare song-and-dance flick that’s admired by men and women alike. Well, guys like us enjoy it—want to fight about it?



Yet, give the movie another look and you’ll notice that Grease has a dark side, at least whenever Betty Rizzo (Stockard Channing) is on screen. First, the callous leader of the Pink Ladies ridicules the angelic Sandy (Olivia Newton-John) for making out with the Pinks’ male confidante, Danny (Travolta). Then, Rizzo gets it in with one of Danny’s pals in the backseat of his car. Unprotected sex leads to her pregnancy, which puts a damper on the film’s mood a bit. Keeping with Grease’s overall perkiness, though, Rizzo channels her angst into a rousing tune, “There are Worse Things I Could Do.” So what if we sing along every time we revisit this flick? We dare you not to.

Ali Larter

18. ALI LARTER AS DARCY SEARS IN VARSITY BLUES (1999)

Chicks like Darcy Sears are why nerds repeatedly try out for high school football and repeatedly get sent to the hospital after some behemoth sacks their puny ass. The perky blonde cheerleader of every man’s dreams, Ali Larter’s promiscuous character in the still enjoyable Varsity Blues has it all: beautiful looks, endless popularity, and the all-star quarterback on her arm. Once her beau gets sidelined, however, she’s quick to pounce upon the replacement QB (James Van Der Beek). How’s that for an audible?



Her seduction tactics go beyond dirty talk and alcoholic mistakes, though. In the movie’s classic scene, Darcy emerges from her kitchen wearing nothing but whipped cream on her privates, with cherries for nipples. The square that he is, Van Der Beek chooses not to lick—we’d expect nothing less from the star of Dawson’s Creek. Obviously we’d have opted for Plan C, as in “Cool Whip that ass.” And the best part: It’s low in calories!

Ami Dolenz

17. AMI DOLENZ AS KATIE SIMPSON IN SHE’S OUT OF CONTROL (1989)

Alongside her counterparts on this list, Ami Dolenz’s coming-of-age character in She’s Out Of Control isn’t all that naughty. But don’t tell her pops (Tony Danza, back when he was actually cast in movies) that. In his eyes, daddy’s once-innocent and sweet little girl goes from Honor Roll to bikini wax faster than Danza’s real-life talk show got cancelled.



To celebrate her 15th birthday, Katie Simpson tosses her nerd glasses into the trash bin and starts wearing more revealing outfits, naturally attracting every breathing man within a 10-mile radius of her California zip code. Enjoying her newfound popularity amongst the fellas, she juggles three boy-toys at the same time while Poppa Danza veers closer and closer to an anxiety-fueled heart attack.



It’s worth noting that Danza’s other fictional daughter was the similarly hot Alyssa Milano, which brings us to an unexpected realization: The man who once starred in a movie called The Garbage Picking Field Goal Kicking Philadelphia Phenomenon (seriously) is an ideal father-in-law.

Kim Walker, Shannen Doherty, and Lisanne Falk

16. KIM WALKER, SHANNEN DOHERTY, AND LISANNE FALK AS HEATHER CHANDLER, HEATHER DUKE, AND HEATHER MCNAMARA IN HEATHERS (1989)

An outgoing guidance counselor would go apeshit inside Ohio’s Westerberg High School, the institution at the center of the superb dark comedy Heathers. He or she would be wise to focus on the school’s most popular clique, known as the Heathers. They’re three chicks who share the same first name, bad attitudes, and promiscuous nature, as well as damaging insecurities that boil over into suicide and a third-act explosion.



The worst one of all is Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), an evil wench quick to throw her friends under the proverbial bus. At one point, Heather McNamara (Lisanne Falk) phones a radio show and confesses to being depressed, not knowing that Queen B Duke is listening. The next day, Duke blabbers all of McNamara’s reveals around campus; beyond hurt, Heather M crams one too many pills into her mouth in a failed suicide attempt. And that’s just a sampling of the naughty deeds seen in Heathers. No wonder we never see any counselors in the movie—they probably all quit.

Jodi Lyn O'Keefe

15. JODI LYN O’KEEFE AS ASHLEY GRANT IN WHATEVER IT TAKES (2000)

With 1999’s She’s All That and Whatever It Takes (co-starring a pre-ubiquity James Franco) a year later, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe emerged as the turn-of-the-century’s top sexpot. So what the hell happened to her, then? O’Keefe’s most interesting role after this teen comedy was in the same year’s Devil In The Flesh 2, a trashy straight-to-video airball in which she played a psycho chick with a lust for older men. Ask your Skinemax-loving dad about it.



No twentysomething actress played high school seductresses better than her, though, a talent that’s at center stage in Whatever It Takes. O’Keefe sucks on dudes’ fingers and disrobes in hotel rooms as the popular Ashley Grant, an airhead with a nice rack who gives a shy guy a chance to hook up out of his league. Ashley’s teachers surely considered her extracurricular activities “naughty”; we, however, think she’s a model student.

Amanda Bynes

14. AMANDA BYNES AS MARIANNE BRYANT IN EASY A (2010)

True, Easy A seems like something you’d see on Nickelodeon and rapidly click off, but give the movie a chance. You’ll find, as we did when it was released last September, that Emma Stone’s breakthrough flick is actually quite smart and very funny. Like any good teen comedy, Easy A has a formidable villain: Amanda Bynes’ overly religious Christian wingbat Marianne.



Bynes plays the kind of God-fearer that Bill Maher would’ve viciously lambasted if given the opportunity while filming Religulous. She’s the head of the high school’s right-leaning church group, though her interpretation of the Bible is way off point. Marianne’s personal commandment: Thou shall spread rumors and gossip about Olive Penderghast (Stone). Oh, and also: Thou shall look rather hot while doing so. Let us pray.

Elisha Cuthbert

13. ELISHA CUTHBERT AS DARCIE IN OLD SCHOOL (2003)

For a high school girl, Elisha Cuthbert’s Old School character, Darcie, is better at playing older man than most senior cutters twice her age. First, she pulls a fast, and illegal, one on Luke Wilson, posing as a university coed and hopping into bed with him after he’s knocked back one too many drinks. And then, just to drench his moral wounds in salt, Darcie turns out to be Wilson’s boss’s teenage daughter.



So that’s two older gents that Cuthbert manipulates during her all too brief screen time in Old School; her father (played by Lost’s Terry O’Quinn) doesn’t know that his baby girl hits up college bashes and sleeps with the creepy old men in attendance. If lying and breaking sexual laws were sports, Darcie would be MVP (Most Valuable Panty-dropper).

Erika Christensen

12. ERIKA CHRISTENSEN AS MADISON BELL IN SWIMFAN (2002)

The majority of naughtiness called out on this list falls into the “so bad it’s good” category; Madison Bell’s bad tendencies, however, are too unhinged to get such a pass. Played by the undeniably attractive Erika Christensen, Madison is at least nice to look at, even when her crazy ass is systematically destroying the life of her unhealthy obsession, a high school swimming star (Jesse Bradford).



Her loony courtship tactics start off agreeable enough, with a wet and wild in-pool seduction; problem is, though, dude has a girlfriend. Not that Madison gives a damn; shortly after smashing inside the chlorine tank, she befriends his girl and tells her about the soaked intercourse. That’s just the beginning of Madison’s madness, which culminates in her escaping police custody to abduct swimmer boy’s hospitalized wifey. So much for the notion that having sex with still-flowered girls turns them into the worst kind of stage-five clingers; Madison has them all beat.

Megan Fox

11. MEGAN FOX AS JENNIFER CHECK IN JENNIFER’S BODY (2009)

Jennifer Check’s (Megan Fox) first mistake is being a groupie for a trashy rock band led by Adam Brody—he makes Jon Bon Jovi seem like Iggy Pop. Against her best friend’s (Amanda Seyfried) wishes, though, Jennifer boards the band’s minivan after a freak technical malfunction turns the venue into an inferno. You might be asking yourself, “Wouldn’t nearly burning to death leave her a bit too flustered to ditch her girl for some potential groupie love?” Of course. Obviously, screenwriter Diablo Cody is no Aaron Sorkin.



But complete disregard of common sense isn’t Jennifer’s worst deed. The rockers are actually devil worshippers; instead of giving Jen an all-access pass, they cast a demonic spell on her that turns the once-insecure cheerleader into a confident, man-eating succubus. It doesn’t get much naughtier than swallowing a guy’s intestines behind closed doors. Needless to say, she doesn’t spit, either.

Cerina Vincent

10. CERINA VINCENT AS AREOLA IN NOT ANOTHER TEEN MOVIE (2001)

In foreign exchange student Areola’s eyes, she’s having a grand old time experiencing American high school culture. To the higher-ups at her school of choice, however, she’s the worst kind of distraction: a ridiculously hot newbie who has all the boys salivating and all the girls deprecating. Why? Because Areola, whose international origins are unknown, refuses to wear any clothing—hers is not just a clever name.



In a stroke of casting genius, the folks behind the spoof Not Another Teen Movie selected buxom brunette Cerina Vincent to play the in-the-buff knockout. Her accents may change with every scene, but one characteristic remains, and that’s Vincent’s aerobics instructor-like body on full display. She gets our vote for class valedictorian.

Mena Suvari

9. MENA SUVARI AS ANGELA HAYES IN AMERICAN BEAUTY (1999)

Deep down, fathers hope that their daughters become friends with hogs, not honeys. No good can come out of daddy’s little girl bringing home flirtatious jailbait. The worst case scenario: pedophilia followed by incarceration. The second worst possibility: Dude’s wife gives him the business for staring at another woman who can’t even legally drink yet.



In American Beauty, Mena Suvari vamps it up as Angela Hayes, the textbook example of such an underaged minx. With suggestive facial expressions and, eventually, full-on physical seduction, she plays right into her best friend’s father’s (Kevin Spacey) teenage lust. Turns out, though, that she’s all talk and no actual play; Angela admits that she’s a virgin, which causes Spacey to pump his brakes. Are we filthy for wondering if we’d be less cautious? Yes, we most certainly are.

Gemma Arterton

8. GEMMA ARTERTON AS KELLY JONES IN ST. TRINIAN’S (2007)

American moviegoers may recognize British stunner Gemma Arterton from big-budget Hollywood pics Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time and Clash Of The Titans, but her sexiest role premiered years prior outside of this country.



The busty Brit donned a titillating schoolgirl outfit in St. Trinian’s, based on English cartoonist Ronald Searle’s fictional all-girls boarding school stories and illustrations. Arterton played Kelly Jones, the institution’s most influential student, who takes drugs and uses her T&A powers to get a lowlife criminal (Russell Brand) to help her steal an expensive painting. Kelly Jones is so badass that she probably gets off on detention; male teachers would have a field day conjuring up ways to employ those disciplinary rulers.

Lindy Booth

Not Available Interstitial

7. LINDY BOOTH AS DODGER ALLEN IN CRY WOLF (2005)

The idea behind the marginally tense thriller Cry Wolf is kind of cool: A group of private school kids spread rumors about a serial killer as a real slayer offs their classmates one by one. At the top of the suspect list is Dodger Allen, played by gorgeous redhead Lindy Booth. The whole “cry wolf” ruse is Dodger’s idea, and when the movie’s protagonist begins to point his finger in her direction, she relies upon her exterior gifts to prove her innocence.



If potential homicide was Dodger’s only fault, she’d still qualify for this countdown, but she’s not your average provocateur. When she’s not dodging (zing!) accusations, Dodger swaps spit—and undoubtedly other bodily fluids—with their journalism teacher, played by Jon Bon Jovi (your guess is as good as ours).



So is Dodger the killer? We’re not telling, though not in fear of divulging spoilers; rather, you owe it to yourself to watch Lindy Booth in action as much as possible, considering that her cinematic output is frustratingly scarce. It’s time for a redhead renaissance.

Reese Witherspoon

6. REESE WITHERSPOON AS TRACY FLICK IN ELECTION (1999)

At this point in her career, Reese Witherspoon is known for tame romantic comedies and awards season projects. But that wasn’t always the deal. Back in 1999, the future Academy Award winner broke into Hollywood producers’ eyesight in Alexander Payne’s edgy high school comedy Election. It remains the darkest role of her career.



To Witherspoon’s credit, she played a rather despicable character for laughs and inarguably succeeded. As the mental and vindictive Tracy Flick, she’s a class presidential nominee with a scandalous backstory: Tracy screwed one of her professors, which led to teach losing both his job and wife. So, yeah—she’s well qualified to enter the world of MSNBC coverage. You’re nobody in politics until you’re outed as a one-time sexual deviant.

Katherine Isabelle

5. KATHERINE ISABELLE AS GINGER FITZGERALD IN GINGER SNAPS (2000)

Admit it: Goth chicks turn you on. It’s OK, because we’re also partial to girls in ripped black stockings, dark eyeliner, and Cannibal Holocaust T-shirts. Which explains why the late Jason Lee’s The Crow get-up is one of our default Halloween costumes—it’s like catnip for Goth women. But that’s a whole other story.



The highly slept-on Canadian horror pic Ginger Snaps features one of the most beautiful Goth chicks ever: Katherine Isabelle’s Ginger Fitzgerald. Dressed in the customary garb, she and her scary-looking friend do sick things like pose as different types of corpses for a school project. Implied necrophilia is bad enough, but then Ginger survives a werewolf attack only to become a full moon animal herself. Fortunately, her lycanthrope manifestation is all hairy creature, with no visual signs of Isabelle’s human looks. Saves us from the icky urges to dream about beastiality.

Rose McGowan, Rebecca Gayheart, and Julie Benz

4. ROSE MCGOWAN, REBECCA GAYHEART, AND JULIE BENZ AS COURTNEY SHANE, JULIE FREEMAN, AND MARCIE FOX IN JAWBREAKER (1999)

When a clique’s frontwoman is known as “Satan in heels,” the crew as a whole is most likely a problem. Thankfully, “problem” in this case is applicable to both Merriam Webster’s definition and hip-hop slang.



Rose McGowan is the Lucifer in stilettos, overseeing three gorgeous minions who run to her every beck and call. Her two most loyal associates, Rebecca Gayheart and Julie Benz, help McGowan play a prank on the fourth (Charlotte Roldan). They “kidnap” Roldan while she’s in her bra and panties (nice touch, screenwriter), gag her with a large piece of jawbreaker candy, and stuff her in the trunk of a car.



Being that McGowan and her girls aren’t exactly Richard “The Iceman” Kuklinski’s protégés, however, their half-assed plan backfires and Roldan dies. The resulting shitstorm of lies, backstabbing, and sex with Marilyn Manson comes largely from McGowan’s end, but they’re all still guilty by association. They could’ve avoided the whole “dead friend” issue by just sticking a lollipop in and out of her mouth, preferably in slow motion. Damn, we need to get out more often.

Anne Hathway and Bijou Phillips

3. ANNE HATHAWAY AND BIJOU PHILLIPS AS ALLISON AND EMILY IN HAVOC (2005)

Upper-class parents love to blame their delinquent kids’ unruliness on anything other than their own ill-equipped guidance. High up on the list of scapegoats is always rap music, a culture that’s more Lil B than Chuck D nowadays.



Well, a parents’ night of watching Havoc wouldn’t help matters much. Set in Los Angeles, the flick centers on two well-off chicks (Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips) who listen to hip-hop, think they’re hardcore, and unwisely immerse themselves into L.A.’s gangland. Though their actions are parents’ worst nightmares exhibited, Hathaway and Phillips naughtiness is just fine by us, especially when Hathaway fakes an orgasm while dry-humping a couch and showing a bit of areola. We’d be mortified if she was our daughter, but she’s not, so it’s all good in the hood, as well as the ’burbs.

Nancy Allen

2. NANCY ALLEN AS CHRIS HARGENSEN IN CARRIE (1976)

Nancy Allen gets a pass in Brian De Palma’s beloved Stephen King adaptation Carrie simply for her good looks. If not for her hotness and decision to show the twins in the film’s opening shower sequence, the golden-haired actress would’ve qualified as one of cinema’s biggest scumbag characters. When scary Carrie (Sissy Spacek) finally firebombs the car in which Chris and her boyfriend (John Travolta) are in, it’s totally understandable for viewers to scream, “Burn in hell, tramp!”



With her natural sexiness intact, Allen’s character finds multiple ways to make telekinetic outcast Carrie’s life a miserable nightmare. She leads a locker room full of evil girls in mean taunts against a naked and bleeding Carrie, but that’s not her most heinous act. In the movie’s iconic and brilliantly handled setpiece, Chris arranges for a bucket of pig’s blood to shower upon Carrie as the victim is accepting her prom queen honors.



By dousing Carrie’s moment of glory in oinker fluids, Chris inadvertently brings out the weirdo’s own naughty side. The result: Carrie traps the prom’s attendees inside the gymnasium and proceeds to massacre the bulk of them using her evil brainpower. And just like that, Allen’s Chris goes from plain old rotten to being indirectly responsible for mass homicides. Way to overachieve!

1. RACHEL MCADAMS AS REGINA GEORGE IN MEAN GIRLS (2004)

Remember those girls in high school who’d never give you the time of day unless you drove a Lexus or bought them an entire rack inside Forever 21? You know, the ones who were even loathed by your much homelier female pals. That’s Regina George to the tee.



The least friendly of all the Mean Girls, Rachel McAdams deserves more than a spanking in then-inconspicuous screenwriter Tina Fey’s witty gem of a teen comedy. Regina’s naughtiest tactic comes in the form of the “Burn Book,” a private diary of sorts in which she jots down every unbecoming rumor and scandalous fact about her female classmates and professors.



On the other hand, though, Regina has a stupendous eye for underlings. The self-appointed leader of the stuck-up clique the Plastics, she recruits a serious trifecta of fineness: Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried. Imagine if all leaders could see things so clearly.
