day in Chicago.
Temperatures in the upper 70's.
Right now, 75 at the lakefront,
74 at Midway, 73 at O'Hare.
Tom!
- What's the matter?
- It's Ferris Look at him
Ferris?
He doesn't have a fever, but his
stomach hurts and he's seeing spots
- What's the matter, Ferris?
- Papa?
Feel his hands,
they're cold and clammy
- I'm fine I'll get up
- No!
- I have a test today
- No
I must take it I want to go to a good
college, so I can have a fruitful life
Honey, you're not
going to school like this
- What's his problem?
- He doesn't feel well
Dry that one out,
you can fertilise the lawn
Jeanie, is that you?
I can't see that far Jeanie?
Jeanie, I
- Bite the big one, junior
- Jeanie, you get to school
If I was 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
They bought it
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 -
- saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavours
last night I guess it's pretty serious
- Thank you, Simone
- No problem whatsoever

- Hello?
- 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
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.
