How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Quote #7
FERRIS: Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we'd be in gym?
Few things in life are more satisfying than skipping gym. Er… did we say that out loud?
Quote #8
CAMERON: I don't know what I'm gonna do.
SLOANE: College.
CAMERON: Yeah, but to do what?
SLOANE: What are you interested in?
CAMERON: Nothing.
SLOANE: Me neither!
CAMERON: (to Ferris, singing on the parade float) YOU'RE CRAZY!
SLOANE: What do you think Ferris is gonna do?
CAMERON: He's gonna be a fry cook on Venus!
Two things to point out here, Shmooper: First, it's telling that Cameron, who never met a rule he couldn't fearfully follow, and Sloane, who seems like a pretty straight arrow unless Ferris is involved, are both all set to take the expected path and go to college, even though they have no interest in it. Meanwhile, they both agree that Ferris could do anything. Why couldn't they?
Quote #9
BOY IN POLICE STATION: What do you care if your brother ditches school?
JEANIE: Why should he get to ditch when everybody else has to go?
BOY IN POLICE STATION: You could ditch.
JEANIE: Yeah. I'd get caught.
BOY IN POLICE STATION: So you're pissed off because he ditches and doesn't get caught. Is that it?
JEANIE: Basically.
BOY IN POLICE STATION: Then your problem is you.
JEANIE: Excuse me?
BOY IN POLICE STATION: Excuse you. You ought to spend a little more time dealing with yourself, and a little less time worrying about what your brother does.
Ah, the wisdom of juvenile drug addicts. If Jeanie would quit worrying about, or perhaps being jealous of, her brother breaking the rules, she'd be a lot better off.
