Clothes everywhere, make-up, books, records. <strong>Ferris</strong> is sitting<br />
on her bed going through a purse.<br />
FERRIS<br />
<strong>This</strong> is really degrading.<br />
He <strong>com</strong>es up with a crumpled dollar bill.<br />
FERRIS (CONT'D)<br />
Financing my activities this way.<br />
Very damaging to the self-image.<br />
But, hey, I'm broke. In times of<br />
crisis one must to what one must to.<br />
I'll pay it back. With interest.<br />
He <strong>com</strong>es up with a five.<br />
FERRIS (CONT'D)<br />
Regardless of how much shit sisters<br />
make you eat, how often they rat on<br />
you, how gross they act or how wicked<br />
and insensitive they can be, you<br />
should not alientate them. Because<br />
most likely they have cash and it's<br />
usually very easy to get your hands<br />
on.<br />
He holds up a twenty and snaps it. PINK FLOYD'S "MONEY"<br />
COMES UP.<br />
INT. LIVING ROOM<br />
The song plays as <strong>Ferris</strong> digs through the sofa cushions.<br />
CU. SOFA<br />
<strong>Ferris</strong> extracts a sticky quarter from a crevice.<br />
INT. PARENTS' BEDROOM<br />
<strong>Ferris</strong> is going through his father's pants pockets. Another<br />
crumpled bill surfaces.<br />
CU. WASHING MACHINE TOP<br />
A couple of stiff, hard, bleached singles that have gone<br />
through the wash lay on top of the washer. A hand scoops<br />
them up.<br />
CU. LUCITE ENCASED PROOF SET<br />
An obvious gift from a grandparent. A U.S. Mint proof set. A<br />
ten, a five and a single enclosed in a lucite frame. A<br />
screwdriver tip wedges between the two pieces of Lucite and<br />
pops them apart. A hand peels the bills off the backing.
