FERRIS (CONT'D)<br />
"I don't believe in Beatles, I just<br />
believe in me." A good point there.<br />
Afterall, he was the Walrus.<br />
He opens a linen closet and tosses the towel in it.<br />
FERRIS (CONT'D)<br />
I could be the Walrus and I'd still<br />
have to bum rides off people.<br />
He passes CAMERA and goes into his room.<br />
INT. BEDROOM<br />
FERRIS (O.S.) (CONT'D)<br />
I'm not very political? Let me put<br />
that into perspective...<br />
<strong>Ferris</strong> tosses the towel he's dried hair with on the bed.<br />
He opens his door.<br />
INT. CLOSET<br />
FERRIS<br />
My uncle went to Canada to protest<br />
the war, right? On the Fourth of<br />
July he was down with my aunt and he<br />
got drunk and told my Dad he felt<br />
guilty he didn't fight in Viet Nam.<br />
So I said, "What's the deal, Uncle<br />
Jeff? In wartime you want to be a<br />
pacifist and in peacetime you want<br />
to be a soldier. It took you twenty<br />
years to find out you don't believe<br />
in anything?"<br />
(snaps his fingers)<br />
Grounded. Just like that. Two weeks.<br />
(pause)<br />
Be careful when you deal with old<br />
hippies. They can be real touchy.<br />
The door opens and <strong>Ferris</strong> rifles through his shirts.<br />
FERRIS<br />
My mother was a hippie. But she lost<br />
it. She got old. If she listens to<br />
the White Album now? She doesn't<br />
hear music, she hears memories.<br />
Nostalgia is her favorite drug. It'll<br />
probably be mine, too. I hope not.<br />
He finds a shirt he likes. He steps back from the closet and<br />
puts it on. He drops the towel.
