How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Quote #1
FERRIS: How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?
Ah, the age old "But it's so nice outside" defense. Ferris drops it early in the movie to justify his initial choice to play hooky.
Quote #2
FERRIS: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ferris unleashes this ol' chestnut about the importance of making choices not once but twice in the movie: here, and at the very end. Some might call it an important central theme.
Quote #3
FERRIS: If you're not over here in fifteen minutes, you can find a new best friend.
CAMERON: You've been saying that since the fifth grade.
Here, Ferris gives Cameron an ultimatum in an attempt to force him to choose going to Ferris's house over staying home. Based on Cameron's response, it's not a very effective challenge, and probably never has been. Also, Cameron and Ferris have been besties since they were ten. Aw.
