Ferris Bueller's Day Off by John Hughes This ... - Screenplay.com

11.
FERRIS (CONT'D)
conditioned to grief that if he
doesn't feel it, he can't sleep. How
could you possibly dump on guy who
has to deal with that kinda shit? My
parents acknowledge the trudge of
the situation and I'm sure that deep
down, they do feel for him but still
the guy's banned from our house.
He looks at himself in the mirror on the back of his closet
door. He doesn't like what he's wearing. He continues his
speech as he disrobes.

Unfortunately, now my parents have a
legit argument. Garth doesn't need
his brother to give him a rep anymore.
He's getting one on his own. He's
lost. It's over for him. He's
eighteen. Gone from school. Gone
from life. His legacy is a gas
station.
INT. HOUSE. STAIRCASE
Ferris comes down the stairs. He's wearing a completely
different outfit.
INT. KITCHEN
FERRIS
One very serious danger is playing
sick is that it's possible to believe
your own act.
Ferris comes into the kitchen and crosses to the refrigerator.

That and boredom. Alot of people
ditch and feel great for about an
hour. Then they realize there's
nothing to do. TV and food. I myself
have ditched and gotten so bored I
did homework. Figure that shit out.
He takes a sip out of a bottle of orange juice.
FERRIS (CONT'D)
You have to plan things out before
you take the day off. Otherwise you
get all nervous worrying about what
to do and all you get is grief and
the whole point is to take it easy,
cut loose and enjoy.
He crosses to the pantry.
