bleeding out my eyes, you'd
make me go to school It's so unfair
Jeanie, don't be upset with me
You have your health, be thankful
That's it! I want out of this family
I'm okay I'll just sleep
I'll have an aspirin around noon
I'm showing some houses
to that family from Vermont today
My office will know just where I am
if you need me
- I'll check on you too, pal
- I have such loving, caring parents
You're both very special people
- You get better, pumpkin
- Okay, pumpkin
I'll be home at six sharp
If you need anything, call
Ringy-dingy
- We love you, sweetie
- I love you, too
Call if you need us

ROCK MUSIC SOUNDTRACK
Incredible! A terrible performance,
and they never doubted it for a second
How could I be expected
to handle school on a day like this?
This is my ninth sick day It's tough
coming up with new illnesses
If I go for ten, I'll have to barf up a lung
So I'd better make this one count
The key to faking out the parents
is the clammy hands
It's a good non-specific symptom
I'm a big believer in it
A lot of people will tell you
to go for a phoney fever
But if you get a nervous mother,
you could wind up in a doctor's office
You fake a stomach cramp
When you're bent over wailing,
you lick your palms
It's childish and stupid,
but then, so is high school
Life moves pretty fast
If you don't stop and look around
once in a while, you could miss it
I do have a test today,
that wasn't bullshit
It's on European socialism
What's the point?
I'm not European, so who
gives a crap if they're socialists?
They could be fascist anarchists,
it still wouldn't buy me a car
I recall Central Park in fall
how you tore your dress
what a mess, I confess...
It's not that I condone fascism,
or any "ism"
A person should not believe in an
"ism", he should believe in himself
I quote John Lennon: "I don't believe
in Beatles I just believe in me"
A good point there
After all, he was the walrus
I could be the walrus,
I'd still have to bum rides off people

He's sick My best friend's sister's
boyfriend's brother's girlfriend -

last night I guess it's pretty serious
- Thank you, Simone
- No problem whatsoever

- Hello?
- (FERRIS) Cameron, what's happening?
- Very little
- How do you feel?
- Shredded
- Is your mother in the room?
She's in Decatur
Unfortunately she's not staying
- Where are you?
- I'm taking the day off, come on over
- I can't, stupid, I'm sick.
- That's all in your head
- Come on over.
- I feel like shit I can't go anywhere
I'm sorry to hear that
Now come on over and pick me up
I'm dying
You're not dying. Youjust
can't think of anything good to do.
Cameron really needs a day off
He has a lot of things to sort out
before he goes to college
SINGS:
When Cameron was in Egypt's land
let my Cameron go.
Cameron is so tight
that a lump of coal stuck up his ass
would turn into a diamond
- Katie Bueller
- Edward Rooney, Dean of Students.
I'm so sorry
I completely forgot to call
- You know your son isn't in school?
- Yes. Ferris is home sick.
I had a meeting this morning.
I forgot to call. I'm very sorry.
Are you also aware -
- that Ferris does not have
an exemplary attendance record.
What?
He has missed an unacceptable
number of school days.
Ferris is not taking
his academic growth seriously.
I've spent my morning
examining his records
If Ferris thinks he can coast through
to graduation, he is sorely mistaken
I have no reservation whatsoever
about holding him back
another year
- This is all news to me
- It usually is
- He has been absent nine times
- Nine times?
