Extract from Jennifer's Body (2009)

A generally disappointing and derivative teen horror film, especially considering it's from the keyboard of Diablo Cody who always struck me as far less generic in her ability to gather pop culture references, Jennifer's Body does nevertheless have one good Hamlet related joke, delivered with excellent timing by Megan Fox (surprisingly) as the titular, not exactly bright, main character. She is addressing a possible date:
JENNIFER:
Hi, Colin.
(beat)
Can I borrow
your English homework again?
I forgot to read Hamlet.
(beat)
Is he gonna fuck his mom?

COLIN:
(clearly unimpressed)
No I don't ... I don't think so.
