Matthew BroderickQuotes

Ferris Bueller: [last line; in post-credits scene; to home audience; after emerging from his bedroom; walks back to his bedroom; shoos audience away] You're still here? It's over. Go home. Go.

Ferris Bueller: [after he barely gets back in bed, and his parents leave the room] Yep. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Ferris Bueller: Cameron has never been in love - at least, nobody's ever been in love with him. If things don't change for him, he's gonna marry the first girl he lays, and she's gonna treat him like shit, because she will have given him what he has built up in his mind as the end-all, be-all of human existence. She won't respect him, cause you can't respect somebody who kisses your ass. It just doesn't work.

Ferris Bueller: If anybody needs a day off it's Cameron. He's got a lotta things to sort out before he graduates. He can't be wound up this tight and go to college. His roommate'll kill him. Pardon my French, but Cameron is so uptight, if you stuck a lump of coal up his ass, in 2 weeks, you'd have a diamond.

Ferris Bueller: [[John Lennon; [w:I Am the Walrus|the walrus] It's not that I condone fascism or any ism for that matter. Ism's, in my opinion, are not good. A person should not believe in an ism, he should believe in himself. I quote ]: I don't believe in Beatles. I just believe in me. A good point there. After all, he was ]. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off of people.

Ferris Bueller: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it. I do have a test today, that wasn't bullshit. 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 and it still doesn't change the fact that I don't own a car.

Ferris Bueller: [after his parents have left, thinking he is ill] They bought it. Incredible! One of the worst performances of my career and they never doubted it for a second. How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this? This is my ninth sick day this semester. It's getting pretty tough coming up with new illnesses. If I go for ten, I'm probably gonna have to barf up a lung, so I'd better make this one count. 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.

Jimmy Garrett: Let's get the hell out of here.

Jimmy Garrett: So I'm the new "Lord of the Apes".

Jimmy Garrett: A human pilot would react differently, because a human pilot would know that he's going to die.

Jim McAllister: [trying to convince Paul to run against Tracy] Paul, what is your favorite fruit?

Paul Metzler: Pears.

Jim McAllister: Okay, now...

Paul Metzler: No wait! Apples.

Jim McAllister: Great, now say that everyday you had an apple. An apple, an apple and more apples. You probably thought that apples were pretty good, even if you got a rotten one every once in awhile. Then one day there was an orange. Now you can choose, do you want an apple or do you want an orange? That's democracy.

Paul Metzler: I also like bananas.

Jim McAllister: Exactly!

Leo Bloom: MY BLUE BLANKET! GIVE ME BACK MY BLUE BLANKET!! AAAAARGH!

Leo Bloom: You were right about one thing. You are a CPA - a certified public asshole!

Leo Bloom: I'm not going into the toilet! I'm going into show business!

Leo Bloom: Stop the world! I wanna get on!

Leo Bloom: Mr. Bialystock, I'm afraid you've made a terrible error in judgement. You've mistaken me for someone with a spine.

Leo Bloom: [Going hysterical, and pointing at Bialystock] FAT! FAT! FAT-FAT-FATTY-FAT!!!

Leo Bloom: I want everything I've ever seen in the movies!

Leo Bloom: When's it gonna be Bloomsday?

Leo Bloom: And what a day! In the same day I have taken the Siegfried oath, I've danced with a cop, a sailor and an extremely friendly Cherokee Indian.

Ferris: Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
