Can you place this quote?
- Oh, he’s very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, waistoids, dweebies, dickheads–they all adore him. They think he’s a righteous dude.
Of course you can. Brigita found a great story about the enduring popularity of the film. The best part is that Edie McClurg, who played Grace, is quoted as saying that she wished they wouldn’t edit out her “dickhead” and replace it with “airhead” for TV. “I wish they’d just go back and play the real movie on cable,” she said. Ha!

It was the school secretary in Ferris Bueller’s day off, speaking to Mr Rooney (pardon me, but you’re an asshole!)
Oops! Should have paying attention, eh? Never mind, I can take shame, it’s the stupidity that kills me…
Eh, it’s okay. You knew the quote, which was the important part (as far as my respect for you goes). Did you read the quotes in the article from Ben Stein though? He was talking about his “Bueller… Bueller…” character and how he was this boring guy with an insane inner personality. I couldn’t figure out whether he was joking or whether he seriously believed his performance created a well-rounded character.
An absolute journeyman. How can we forget the drool on the table bit from that particular scene. Always a winner…VOOdoo economics…
