CAMERON'S VOICE<br />
Oh, that's just great. Are you busted?<br />
FERRIS<br />
It's <strong>com</strong>pletely cool. He's just<br />
checking up on me. Now, listen to<br />
me. I'm working on getting some heavy<br />
bucks out of him. So, the least you<br />
can do is hurry up and get over here.<br />
Bye.<br />
He disconnects and gets his father back. He switches back to<br />
his sick voice.<br />
FERRIS (CONT'D)<br />
Sorry, Dad. The moment before you<br />
called, I had a chest spasm and I<br />
blew lung fluid all over the place.<br />
It was making me ill looking at it.<br />
But gee, it's sure great of you to<br />
call. I'm sure there're alot of<br />
fathers who wouldn't take time out<br />
from their busy schedules to call a<br />
dumb, sick teenager.<br />
TOM'S VOICE<br />
Hey, pal, what was I supposed to do?<br />
<strong>Ferris</strong> reaches out and hits a key on his <strong>com</strong>puter. The screen<br />
dumps the drawing.<br />
CU. COMPUTER SCREEN<br />
FERRIS<br />
Give yourself some credit, Dad. It<br />
was a mammoth gesture. It's like<br />
those savings bonds you used to give<br />
me every Christmas.<br />
(looks at CAMERA and<br />
smiles)<br />
It was that kind of concern.<br />
A message is flashing: "TRANSMITTING DATA".<br />
INT. FERRIS' ROOM<br />
He turns away from the <strong>com</strong>puter and puts his feet up on the<br />
desk. He lights a cigarette.<br />
FERRIS<br />
You had to work hard for the money<br />
to buy those things, right?<br />
TOM'S VOICE<br />
Not any harder than anybody else.<br />
<strong>Ferris</strong> mouths Tom's words as he says them.
