Search: faustus hood
Why: In Reality Bites, Troy strums his guitar and says:
Should I get married? Should I be good?If Doctor Faustus wore a hood, I don't know about it.
Should I astound the girl next door with my velvet suit and my faustus hood?
And not take her to movies buy to cemeteries
and tell her of werewolf tongues and forked clarinets?
Answer: Faust (or Faustus, in Marlowe's play) made a deal with the Devil in exchange for knowledge (and servitude from Mephistophilis). I didn't find a single reference to a hood, but I remembered that in my favorite movie Tombstone, the Devil disguises him(her!)self with a hood. IDKmybffjill.

The More You Know: Those lines Troy says are from the poem "Marriage" by the Beat poet Gregory Corso.
