it's ferris!
what's wrong? for christ's sake! look at him!
he doesn't have a fever. but he says his stomach hurts and he's seeing spots.
feel his hands. they're cold and clammy.
he doesn't want me to.
you're not going to school like this. maybe i should call the office and tell them i won't be in.
he doesn't feel well.
thank you, jeanie. get to school.
get your stuff. daddy'll be right down.
get downstairs! now!
get downstairs! now!
i'm showing houses to the family from california today but i'll be in the area. my office'll know where i am, if you need me.
i hope you feel better, pumpkin.
we love you, sweetie.
no one's going to consider a house with a black living room. not even those jerks from vermont. let's be realistic.
joyce bueller.
oh, my god. i'm so sorry. i completely forgot to call.
i can give you every assurance that ferris is home and that he is, in fact, very ill. i debated whether or not i should even leave him. i can appreciate that at this time of year children are prone to taking the day off, but in ferris' case, he's truly a very sick boy.
mrs. froeling, how are you?
my son's home sick today. if you wouldn't mind, on our way back to the office, i'd like to just run in and check up on him.
if you're willing to commit a little time and a little money to this place, you can really have something to be proud of. don't let the black living room throw you off.
well, boyd, how are you bearing up?
did i tell you i have a son your age?
his name is ferris. i think you'd like him.
not that i know of.
do you know my son?
she's never been in trouble before. this is a shock to me. first, i don't know why she wasn't at school. second, i don't know why she'd call you with this story about a rapist.
i hope so. i appreciate your calling me. i can assure you that her father and i will have a long talk with her.
thank you.
don't "hi" me, young lady. get your stuff.
hi, guys.
ferris!
honey?
how did you get so sweet?
