Quotes

Dana : I knew this one girl and I swear, she did it on a rollercoaster. Hey Ferris, where's the weirdest place you ever did it?
Ferris : None of your business.
Cinder : Why not?
[to the girls]
Cinder : She probably doesn't know anything.
Ferris : I know enough.
Cinder : Ever been to fourth base?
Ferris : I'm fifteen. No one goes to fourth base...
Cinder : I hit a home run at fourteen. Well I guess some of us are women, and some of us are little girls.
[to Angel]
Cinder : Which are you?
Angel : I think guys are a pain in the ass.
Cinder : Two little virgins. How quaint. No wonder they're always fighting. It's all that unreleased energy. Probably lezzies.
Ferris : Maybe she is, but I'm straight.
-
Ferris : You sort of want me, don't you?
Gary : Ferris, maybe I do, but that's not the point. You see, to you, sex is poetry and phrases and everything you learned in books. You know, but when you're really in love...
Ferris : I am!
Gary : Ferris, I'm not a prince. I'm a teacher. You know, in a year you're gonna look at me and you're gonna wonder how you could have even thought of loving me.
Ferris : That's not true.
Gary : Unfortunately, it is.
Ferris : What if next year I came back and I still felt the same way? I'll be old then. Do you realize that I am almost the only virgin in camp? Every girl knows this secret life except me. Look at it this way. It'd be a learning experience.
Gary : Come on.
Ferris : Where are you going?
Gary : I'm taking you back.
Ferris : Couldn't I spend the night here just for appearances? If I were twenty-one?
Gary : I think I'd fall madly in love with you.

Dana : So what happened? Come on, tell us, come on, come on, come on!
Ferris : He compared us to Romeo and Juliet. We had some chilled champagne.
Dana : An aphrodisiac! I told you about those.
Sunshine : Did, did it hurt?
Ferris : No!
Cinder : Such a child.
Penelope : Did you see him naked?
Ferris : No. It was dark.
Sunshine : Don't be disgusting.
Chubby : Then how'd he...?
Ferris : He didn't want to embarrass me so he turned off the light.
Carrots : Oh, I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
Dana : How cavalier! Come on, come on, come on!
Ferris : It was perfect! The darkness enveloped us.
Dana : This is better than books! I gotta tell you! This is great!
Cinder : The truth always is.
-
Ferris : Can we talk?
Gary : Yeah, why not? We're lovers now, right? I thought you were a nice person. Sensitive. Just a little goddamn fraud. You owe me an explanation. Talk to me, Ferris.
Ferris : I wanted the girls to like me. I wanted to be in just once. I didn't want to be the rich kid.
Gary : So you made up some ridiculous story that we've been getting it on together?
Ferris : No, no, not exactly. I tried to tell them the truth.
Gary : You didn't try hard enough.
Ferris : Please, Mr. Callahan...
Gary : No "Mr. Callahan." We have been intimate, right?
Ferris : Sort of. I mean, I wish we could have been. I told them things that I wanted to be. It didn't feel like a lie. Sometimes I thought it might really happen. I suppose you don't think much of me now.
-
Angel : Do you feel different?
Ferris : No.
Angel : Was it what you thought it would be?
Ferris : No big deal.
Angel : But now you're a woman.
Ferris : My whole affair was a lie.
Angel : Come on.
Ferris : He didn't even touch me.
Angel : You know something?
[hesitates]
Angel : Don't tell anyone.
[Ferris shakes her head]
Angel : Me and Randy...
Ferris : Gosh! Gosh!
Angel : Is that all you can say is "gosh"? I mean for somebody with a large vocabulary, supposedly.
Ferris : We've really been idiots, you know.
