• [hearing a fake phone message]

  Grace : Her grandmother, too.

  Ed Rooney : You pinhead.

  Sloane : [sobbing]  If you need to reach us, we'll be at the following number...

• [Ferris has snuck aboard a parade float] 

  Ferris : Ladies and gentlemen, you are such a wonderful crowd, we'd like to play a little tune for you. It's one of my personal favorites and I'd like to dedicate it to a young man who doesn't think he's seen anything good today - Cameron Frye, this one's for you.

  Cameron : [screams] 

  Sloane : Ferris! Get off of the float!

• Sloane : What could happen to it? It's in a garage.

  Cameron : It could get wrecked, stolen, scratched, breathed on wrong... a pigeon could shit on it! Who knows?

• Sloane : He's gonna marry me.

• Sloane : Mr. Rooney... Ed... you're a beautiful man. I want to thank you for your warmth and compassion.

• Cameron : I don't know what I'm gonna do.

  Sloane : College.

  Cameron : Yeah, but to do what?

  Sloane : What are you interested in?

  Cameron : Nothing.

  Sloane : Me neither!

  Cameron : [to Ferris, who's singing on the parade float]  YOU'RE CRAZY!

  Sloane : What do you think Ferris is gonna do?

  Cameron : He's gonna be a fry cook at Venus!

• Sloane : What are we going to do?

  Ferris : The question isn't "what are we going to do," the question is "what aren't we going to do?"

  Cameron : Please don't say were not going to take the car home. Please don't say were not going to take the car home. Please don't say were not going to take the car home.

  Ferris : [to the camera]  If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away?

  [beat] 

  Ferris : Neither would I.

• Sloane : I can flip out real easy, too. It's okay. Sooner or later, everybody goes to the zoo.

• Ferris : [Hiding on the floor of the taxi while his father is in the car next to him]  What's he doing?

  Sloane : He's licking the glass and making obscene gestures with his hands.

• Ed Rooney : Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live and is full of misery. He cometh up and is cut down like a flower. He fleeth as if it were a shadow and never continueth in one stay. Oh, dear. Between grief and nothing, I'll take grief.

  Sloane : Great.

• Sloane : [on the phone]  May I speak to Abe Froman? The Sausage King of Chicago.

  Maitre D' : Abe Froman? Let me check the restaurant. Could you describe him for me, please?

  Sloane : Leather jacket, white t-shirt, sweater vest. *Devastatingly* handsome.

• Ferris : You want to get married?

  Sloane : Sure.

  Ferris : Today? I'm serious.

  Sloane : I'm not getting married.

  Ferris : Why not?

  Sloane : What do you mean "why not"? Think about it.

  Ferris : Well, no. Besides being too young, having no place to live, you feeling a little awkward about being the only cheerleader with a husband, give me one good reason why not?

  Cameron : I'll give you two good reason why not: my mother and my father. They're married and they hate each other. You've seen 'em. Am I right?

• Sloane : Did you see me change out of my clothes by the jacuzzi? Did you? You saw me? I thought you were catatonic. That's okay. I'm not embarrassed.

• Sloane : You knew what you were doing when you woke up this morning, didn't you?

  Ferris : Me?
