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?
Ferris: Here's where Cameron goes berserk.
Salone: Cameron, are you okay? Could you say something if you're okay?
Ferris: This may very well be for real. I think Cameron might have blown a microchip or two. He's always been a little keyed up. All I wanted to do was give him a good day.
Salone: Don't worry, Cameron
Ferris: We're gonna graduate in a couple of months, and then we'll have the summer. He'll work, and I'll work. We'll see each other at night and on the weekends. Then he'll go to one school, and I'll go to another. Basically, that will be it.
I don’t like the theory that ferris beuller is just cameron’s imagination because it’s so much more fun to believe that there’s a highschool student endowed with trickster god level capabilities & knowledge of the fourth wall who drags his mentally ill best friend around bc he wuvs him
I have this headcanon where Ferris gets sick for real one day and Sloane and Cameron ditch school to go take care of him.
He's pissed he can't party like he usually does but still finds ways to cause trouble while bedridden.
Possible sick day shenanigans include but are not limited to
☆Prank calling Rooney, convincing him that the FBI has tapped his line and are planning to put him away for fraud.
☆Replacing all of Jeannie's workout VHS tapes with scary movies rewound to the perfect jump scares. Ferris knows he'll pay through the nose for it later but he doesn't care.
☆Being the first caller on all kinds of as-seen-on-TV product commercials and winning a variety of free novelty gadgets.
☆Ferris feverishly and genuinely proposing to Sloane with a half-eaten ring pop and then passing out (they agree to never speak of it again).
☆Cameron and Sloane scrambling to hide when Ferris's mom comes to check on him halfway through the day.
☆Ferris convincing a local pizza parlor to make him the world's largest pizza and having it delivered (by truck) to his front door.
☆Everybody just falling asleep on Ferris's bed and taking the coziest nap.
