JOYCE:
Do you know my son?
FATHER:
Don't pay any attention to him.
He thinks it's cute to bait adults.
BOYD:
I don't think it's cute. I think
it's fun.
Joyce give him a puzzled smile and starts the car.
174 INT. FERRIS' ROOM 174
Jeanie's on the phone. She's in a panic.
JEANIE:
This is not a phoeny phone call. There's
an intruder, male caucasian, possibly armed,
certainly weird, in our kitchen.
(pause)
My name is Bueller.
There's another pause. Jeanie's face drops.
JEANIE:
It's real nice that you hope my
brother's feeling better but I'm
in danger, okay? I'm very cute,
I'm very alone and I'm very
protective of my body. I'd rather
not have it violated or killed.
I need help!
175 INT. KITCHEN 175
Rooney's plugging his bloody nose with paper towel. The
intercom goes on.
JEANIE'S VOICE
Excuse me. If whoever's in the house
is still in the house, I'd like you
to know that I have just called the police.
If you have any brains whatsoever, you'll
get your ass out of my house real quick.
Rooney stiffens with fear.
JEANIE'S VOICE
I'd also like to add that I have
my father's gun. And a scorching
case of herpes.
176 EXT. STREET 176
Rooney's car is hooked to a tow truck. It's parked in front
of a fire hydrant and the windshield is decorated with
parking citations. In the distance SIRENS WAIL.
The three are waiting for the Ferrari. We HEAR TIRES
SQUEALING, AN ENGINE REVING-OUT. Then the Ferrari pulls down
the ramp and jams to a frightening stop. A BLACK GUY jumps
out. Ferris hands him the parking stub.
FERRIS:
Just out of curiosity, what was
your top speed coming down the
ramp?
BLACK GUY:
(matter-of-fact)
About 60.
FERRIS:
Stunning!
He hands him a buck and opens the door and pulls the
passenger seat forward for Cameron.
FERRIS:
This is probably the last time you'll
have to ride back here. Keep that in
mind.
Cameron gives him a look and squeezes in.
The Ferrari cruises through traffic.
INT. FERRARI
Sloane's in the passenger seat. Ferris is driving and
Cameron is crammed in the back.
SLOANE:
What's next.
CAMERON:
Nothing. We return the car.
SLOANE:
We could go to my house. My parents
aren't coming home until late.
FERRIS:
We have enough cash left for a quick
flight to Peoria and back.
CAMERON:
Very funny.
Ferris looks in the mirror and changes lanes. He glances
down at the speedometer, then to the road. And back to the
speedometer.
FERRIS:
Cameron? How many miles did you
say this thing had when we left?
CAMERON:
One hundred and twenty six and
halfway between three and four
tenths. Why? How many miles are
on it now?
He glances down at the speedometer.
CU. SPEEDOMETER
FERRIS:
(to CAMERA)
Here's where Cameron goes berserk.
EXT. TRAFFIC
The Ferrari pulls up at a stop light. We HEAR A THUNDERING,
MUFFLED SCREAM.
EXT. EXPRESSWAY
The Ferrari is buzzing through traffic.
INT. FERRARI
Sloane turns in her seat and looks at Cameron. Her gesture
is one of genuine support.
SLOANE:
You okay?
CU. CAMERON
His eyes are frozen in a mindless, vacant stare.
CU. FERRIS
He looks at Sloane. He's concerned.
FERRIS:
Hey, Cameron. It's okay. We'll fix
it.
CU. CAMERON
He's still holding the stare. He starts to breathe heavily.
He's trembling.
CU. SLOANE
She whips around in the seat and grabs his arms.
SLOANE:
Cameron! Cut it out! What's
wrong?! Ferris!
CU. FERRIS
FERRIS:
Cameron, are you okay? It's
no problem, really. Your old
man won't know a thing. It's
completely fixable.
INT. FERRARI
Sloane fires an angry look at Ferris.
SLOANE:
Shut-up! It is a problem! For
him it's a problem. Nothing's
a problem for you. But it's
a problem for him! So, just
shut-up.
She turns back to Cameron.
SLOANE:
What can I do, Cameron?
CU. FERRIS
Eyes front. He knows what he's doing.
179 INT. FERRIS' HOUSE. FOYER179
The doorbell rings. The Ferris' tape is activated.
FERRIS VOICE:
Who is it?
We hear a MALE VOICE over the intercom.
VOICE:
Anybody home?
FERRIS' VOICE
I'm sorry that I can't come to
the door right now...
The tape continues as Jeanie hurtles down the stairs.
JEANIE:
I'm saved! Thank you, God!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
She jumps the last few stairs and slides to the front door.
She whips it open.
180 EXT. HOUSE. FRONT DOOR 180
The door swings open.
JEANIE:
Thank...you...
Her jaw goes slack. She blinks her eyes.
HER POV:
The Delivery Man and a young ASSISTANT are standing at the
door with floral arrangements. Spread all around them are
more flowers. A sexy singing NURSE and a BALLOON MAN steps
up on the porch.
NURSE:
(sings)
WE...
The door slams shut.
181 EXT. NEIGHBORHOOD STREET 181
Rooney's walking down the street. A school bus is crawling
alongside him as kids hang out the windows. From inside we
hear SHOUTING and seventeen different SONGS PLAYING ON
BLASTERS. A top forty montage.
KID:
Hey, Mr. Rooney! What're you doing?
Rooney doesn't respond.
ANOTHER KID:
Did you get in a fight?
Rooney keep walking. The bus doors open. The DRIVER calls
out to him.
DRIVER:
You want a lift?
Rooney takes a few more steps. He stops. The bus stops.
Rooney takes a deep breath. He climbs aboard the bus.
182 INT. BUS 182
The bus is jammed with WONKS and WEINERETTES. The passengers
are silent as they watch Rooney shuffle down the aisle and
take an empty seat next to a skinny, myopic GIRL.
CU. GIRL
She looks at Rooney and smiles. She pushes her Coke bottle
glasses up on her nose.
CU. ROONEY
CU. GIRL
She holds her smile.
GIRL:
real school bus before.
CU. ROONEY
He stares at her.
CU. GIRL
GIRL:
Gummi Bear?
CU. ROONEY
He stares at her.
CU. GIRL
She puts one in her mouth.
GIRL:
They've been in pocket. They're
real soft and warm.
CU. BOY
A rotund FRESHMAN BOY sitting across from Rooney is staring
at him.
CU. ROONEY
CU. BOY
He leans forward.
FRESHMAN BOY:
It's kind of like being in the
belly of the beast isn't it?
CU. ROONEY
He turns him eyes to the front. The bus jerks forward and
pulls away.
183 EXT. BUS 183
It grinds through the gears as it heads down the quiet
street. The BLASTERS go back on, the SHOUTING RESUMES.
184 EXT. PARK 184
Cameron's laying on a picnic table. Sloane's sitting beside
him on the table. She's stroking his hair. Ferris WALKS INTO
THE FOREGROUND. He addresses CAMERA.
FERRIS:
This may very well be for real. I
think Cameron might have blown a
micro-chip or two. He's always been
a little keyed-up. All I wanted to do
was give him a good day. We're
gonna graduate in a couple of months.
Then we have the summer. He'll work
and I'll work. And we'll see each
other at night and on the weekends
but then he'll go to one school and I'll
go to another. And basically that'll
be it. As much as we like each other,
the process of growing up will
separate us.
