- Kätie Bueller.
- Edward Rooney, Dean ofStudents.
:08:04
I'm so sorry.
I completely forgot to call.
:08:10
- You knowyourson isn't in school?
- Yes. Ferris is home sick.
:08:16
I had a meeting this morning.
I forgot to call. I'm verysorry.
:08:22
Are you also aware -
:08:25
- thatFerris does nothave
an exemplary attendance record.
:08:30
What?
:08:31
He has missed an unacceptable
number ofschool days.
:08:35
Ferris is not taking
his academic growth seriously.
:08:39
I've spent my morning
examining his records.
:08:44
If Ferris thinks he can coast through
to graduation, he is sorely mistaken.
:08:50
I have no reservation whatsoever-
:08:53
- about holding him back
another year.
:08:58
- This is all news to me.
- It usually is.
:09:02
- He has been absent nine times.
- Nine times?
:09:09
- Nine times.
- He hasn't been sick nine times.
:09:13
That's probably because he
wasn't sick, he was skipping school.
:09:18
Wake up and smell the coffee.
:09:21
It's a fool's paradise. He's leading
you down the primrose path.
:09:25
- I can'tbelieve lt.
- It's right here in front of me.
:09:29
He has missed nine days ...
:09:39
I asked for a car. I got a computer.
How's that for being born unlucky?.
:09:45
Grace!
:09:51
Mr Rooney, Ferris is home
and he is very ill.
:09:55
- I debated even leaving him.
- Grace!
