She won't respect him, 'cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work."

  • (Matthew Broderick) "How can I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably going to have to barf up a lung, so I better make this one count."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Four thousand restaurants in the downtown area, I pick the one my father goes to."
  • (Alan Ruck) "We're pinched, for sure."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Hi, how you doing? I'm Ferris Bueller."
  • (Maitre D') "All right, I've had enough of this."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "You touch me, I yell RAT."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Hey, Cameron. You realize if we played by the rules right now we'd be in gym?"

  • (Richard Edson) "Uh, what country do you think this is?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Who is it?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Oh, I'm sorry. I can't come to the door right now. I'm afraid that in my weakened condition, I could take a nasty spill down the stairs and subject myself to further school absences. You can reach my parents at their places of business. Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate your concern for my well-being. Have a nice day."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "I do have a test today, that wasn't bulls***. It's on European socialism. I mean, really, what's the point? I'm not European. I don't plan on being European. So who gives a crap if they're socialists? They could be fascist anarchists, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "I recall Central Park in Fall, how you tore your dress, what a mess, I confess --"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Here's where Cameron goes berserk."
  • (Alan Ruck) "Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "The key to faking out the parents is the clammy hands. It's a good non-specific symptom; I'm a big believer in it. A lot of people will tell you that a good phony fever is a dead lock, but, uh -- you get a nervous mother, you could wind up in a doctor's office. That's worse than school. You fake a stomach cramp, and when you're bent over, moaning and wailing, you lick your palms. It's a little childish and stupid, but then, so is high school."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "If you're not over here in fifteen minutes, you can find a new best friend."
  • (Alan Ruck) "You've been saying that since the fifth grade."

  • (Mia Sara) "He's licking the glass and making obscene gestures with his hands."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Cameron, babe, what's happenin'?"
  • (Alan Ruck) "Very little."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Never had one lesson."
  • (Maitre D') "You're Abe Froman?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "That's right, I'm Abe Froman."
  • (Maitre D') "The Sausage King of Chicago?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "-- Uh yeah, that's me."
  • (Maitre D') "Look, I'm very busy. Why don't you take the kids and go back to the clubhouse?"
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Are you suggesting that I'm not who I say I am?"
  • (Maitre D') "I'm suggesting that you leave before I have to get snooty."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Snooty?"
  • (Maitre D') "Snotty."
  • (Matthew Broderick) "Snotty?"
