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.
