Quotes8

  • Dana: I knew this one girl and I swear, she did it on a rollercoaster. Hey Ferris, where's the weirdest place you ever did it?
  • Ferris: None of your business.
  • Cinder: Why not?
  • [to the girls]
  • Cinder: She probably doesn't know anything.
  • Ferris: I know enough.
  • Cinder: Ever been to fourth base?
  • Ferris: I'm fifteen. No one goes to fourth base...
  • Cinder: I hit a home run at fourteen. Well I guess some of us are women, and some of us are little girls.
  • [to Angel]
  • Cinder: Which are you?
  • Angel: I think guys are a pain in the ass.
  • Cinder: Two little virgins. How quaint. No wonder they're always fighting. It's all that unreleased energy. Probably lezzies.
  • Ferris: Maybe she is, but I'm straight.
  • Ferris: You sort of want me, don't you?
  • Gary: Ferris, maybe I do, but that's not the point. You see, to you, sex is poetry and phrases and everything you learned in books. You know, but when you're really in love...
  • Ferris: I am!
  • Gary: Ferris, I'm not a prince. I'm a teacher. You know, in a year you're gonna look at me and you're gonna wonder how you could have even thought of loving me.
  • Ferris: That's not true.
  • Gary: Unfortunately, it is.
  • Ferris: What if next year I came back and I still felt the same way? I'll be old then. Do you realize that I am almost the only virgin in camp? Every girl knows this secret life except me. Look at it this way. It'd be a learning experience.
  • Gary: Come on.
  • Ferris: Where are you going?
  • Gary: I'm taking you back.
  • Ferris: Couldn't I spend the night here just for appearances? If I were twenty-one?
  • Gary: I think I'd fall madly in love with you.
  • Angel: [to new girl on bus] Uh, this seat's taken.
  • Ferris: By who?
  • Angel: My guardian angel.
  • Ferris: [frowns, then sits down] Well, she'll have to sit on my lap.
  • Angel: She's a he.
  • Ferris: Then I'll have to sit on his lap.
  • Angel: Beat it!
  • Ferris: Make me!
  • Angel: Beat it!
  • [shoves Ferris]
  • Dana: So what happened? Come on, tell us, come on, come on, come on!
  • Ferris: He compared us to Romeo and Juliet. We had some chilled champagne.
  • Dana: An aphrodisiac! I told you about those.
  • Sunshine: Did, did it hurt?
  • Ferris: No!
  • Cinder: Such a child.
  • Penelope: Did you see him naked?
  • Ferris: No. It was dark.
  • Sunshine: Don't be disgusting.
  • Chubby: Then how'd he...?
  • Ferris: He didn't want to embarrass me so he turned off the light.
  • Carrots: Oh, I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
  • Dana: How cavalier! Come on, come on, come on!
  • Ferris: It was perfect! The darkness enveloped us.
  • Dana: This is better than books! I gotta tell you! This is great!
  • Cinder: The truth always is.
  • Ferris: Can we talk?
  • Gary: Yeah, why not? We're lovers now, right? I thought you were a nice person. Sensitive. Just a little goddamn fraud. You owe me an explanation. Talk to me, Ferris.
  • Ferris: I wanted the girls to like me. I wanted to be in just once. I didn't want to be the rich kid.
  • Gary: So you made up some ridiculous story that we've been getting it on together?
  • Ferris: No, no, not exactly. I tried to tell them the truth.
  • Gary: You didn't try hard enough.
  • Ferris: Please, Mr. Callahan...
  • Gary: No "Mr. Callahan." We have been intimate, right?
  • Ferris: Sort of. I mean, I wish we could have been. I told them things that I wanted to be. It didn't feel like a lie. Sometimes I thought it might really happen. I suppose you don't think much of me now.
  • Angel: Do you feel different?
  • Ferris: No.
  • Angel: Was it what you thought it would be?
  • Ferris: No big deal.
  • Angel: But now you're a woman.
  • Ferris: My whole affair was a lie.
  • Angel: Come on.
  • Ferris: He didn't even touch me.
  • Angel: You know something?
  • [hesitates]
  • Angel: Don't tell anyone.
  • [Ferris shakes her head]
  • Angel: Me and Randy...
  • Ferris: Gosh! Gosh!
  • Angel: Is that all you can say is "gosh"? I mean for somebody with a large vocabulary, supposedly.
  • Ferris: We've really been idiots, you know.
  • Cinder: Ferris probably isn't gay, just sexually immature.
  • Dana: Whoa!
  • Cinder: I bet she'd go all the way if she had the chance! Right?
  • Ferris: [reluctantly] Sure! I'm ready.
  • Angel: [introducing herself] Angel Bright.
  • Ferris: Sounds like something on top of a Christmas tree.
  • [gets attacked]
