How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Quote #4
GRACE: Oh, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads—they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
ROONEY: That is why I have got to catch him this time: to show these kids the example he sets is a first class ticket to nowhere!
Rooney is obsessed with Ferris not upsetting his world. Why? Because he's barely—just barely—maintaining order at his high school full of bored sportos and dweebies.
Quote #5
CAMERON: The 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made. My father spent three years restoring this car. It is his love. It is his passion.
FERRIS: It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.
Whether it's his high school administration or his friend's dad's unbelievably posh garage, Ferris is all about exploiting weaknesses in the system.
Quote #6
CAMERON: No, no. Apparently, you don't understand. Ferris, he never drives it; he just rubs it with a diaper. Hey, remember how insane he went when I broke my retainer? Huh? C'mon, that was a little piece of plastic. This is a Ferrari.
Cameron's grown up under a ton of rules, as this nod to the torment he received for breaking his retainer attests, and that's made him skittish.
