Ben Stein Quotes

Inquiry About Ferris Bueller's Absence

Economics Teacher: [takes attendance] Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Teacher: Thank you, Simone.

Simone: No problem whatsoever.

Inheritance and Unexpected Legacy

Mr. Rugg: [reading Mr. Crittenden's will] To the Save the Dolphins Foundation: $11 million. To the Save The Pumas Foundation: $1.2 million. To the Padigonian Wasps Salvation Fund: $1.4 million. To The Dyslexic Dalmatians Foundation...

Carrigan Crittenden: To hell with the livestock. What did the old stiff leave me?

Dibs: [clears throat] Um, I believe that what the bereaved is trying to express is that the, um, sudden death of her only father has left a great gaping void in her bank-- in her life, and err, Carrigan wonders what he has left her to fill it up with.

Mr. Rugg: Hmm. Let's see. Bobcats, owls, snakes... daughter, Carrigan: Whipstaff Manor in Maine.

Carrigan Crittenden: ... And?

Mr. Rugg: And I'm late for lunch, so if you'll excuse me...

Carrigan Crittenden: Are you telling me that I spent the last two days holding his clammy hand, waiting for him to kick, and all I get in return is one lousy piece of property?!

Mr. Rugg: [gives her the will] No, it was lousy fifty years ago. Now it's condemned. Enjoy.

Carrigan Crittenden: Wait a minute. This is not fair! I'll protest! I'm gonna drag you and every one of those damn dolphins into court!

Mr. Rugg: Knock yourself out.

Carrigan Crittenden: Dibs! This is all your fault, as usual. If you would have just forged the damn will.

Dibs: Hey you know Carrigan, this is condemned seafront property.

Carrigan Crittenden: Oh, Dibs! Don't you get it? Flipper got more money than me.

Dibs: Carrigan, the deed's in there! Oh! Ouch! Ow. Ouch! Buccaneers and buried gold. Whipstaff doth a treasure hold.

Carrigan Crittenden: Treasure? Dibs, you idiot. Get it out!" I knew that place was worth something. There's treasure in that house. And finally, I'm gonna get what I deserve.

Dibs: Carrigan, I think I need a doctor.

Carrigan Crittenden: Oh, there's plenty in Maine.
