Ed Rooney : Ed Rooney.
Cameron : [disguising voice as George Peterson] Ed. This is George Peterson.
Ed Rooney : How are you today, sir?
Cameron : [voice disguised] Well, we've had a bit of bad luck this morning as you may have heard.
Ed Rooney : Yeah I heard, and man, I'm all broken up, boy, what a blow.
Cameron : [disguised] Yeah. Yeah. Well, uh, it's been a tough morning and we got a lot of family business to take care of, so if you wouldn't mind excusing Sloane, I'd appreciate it.
Ed Rooney : Uh, yeah, sure, no I'd be happy to, yeah you, uh, you you just produce a corpse, and uh, I'll release Sloane. I wanna see this dead grandmother first hand.
Grace : Ed?
Ed Rooney : It's alright, Grace, it's Ferris Bueller the little twerp. I'm gonna set a trap and let him fall right in it.
Grace : Ooh!
Cameron : [disguised] I'm sorry, Ed, did you say you wanted to see a body?
Ed Rooney : Yeah, that's right, just, uh, roll her old bones on over here, and I'll dig up your daughter. You know that's school policy.
Cameron : [disguised] Oh.
Ed Rooney : Was this your mother?
Cameron : [disguised] Uh, no my wife's mother.
Grace : [picks up ringing phone] Ed Rooney's office.
Ferris : Hi this is Ferris Bueller, can I speak to Mr. Rooney please? Thank you.
Grace : [caught off-guard] Uh... hold.
Ed Rooney : Tell ya what, dipshit. If you don't like my policies you can come on down here and smooch my big ole' white butt.
Grace : ED!
Ed Rooney : Pucker up butter-cup.
[to Grace]
Ed Rooney : What?
Grace : Ferris Bueller's on line 2.

Grace : Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.

[hearing a fake phone message]
Sloane : [crying on machine] We can't come to the phone right now. We've had a... death in the family.
Ed Rooney : Grace, Ferris Bueller is behind this. There is no doubt in my mind, and now, he's got Sloane Peterson involved in this thing.
Grace : Her grandmother, too.
Ed Rooney : You pinhead.
Sloane : [sobbing] If you need to reach us, we'll be at the following number...
[sobbing becomes hysterical and over the top]

[Jeannie enters Mr. Rooney's office]
Grace : Hello, Jeannie. Who's bothering you now?
Jeannie : Is Mr. Rooney in?
Grace : No, I'm sorry. He's not. May I help you?
Jeannie : I seriously doubt it. When's he back?
Grace : Well, I don't know. He's left the school grounds on personal business.
Jeannie : What's that supposed to mean?
Grace : Well, I believe that it's personal and it's none of your business, young lady.
Jeannie : [scoffs] Nice attitude.
Grace : Isn't Mrs. Hagel expecting you in Consumer Ed. class?
Jeannie : Probably.
[Departs]
Grace : Mmm-mmm-mmm. What a little asshole.

Ed Rooney : I don't trust this kid any further than I can throw him.
Grace : Well, with your bad knee Ed, you shouldn't throw anybody... It's true.
Ed Rooney : What is so dangerous about a character like Ferris Bueller is he gives good kids bad ideas.
Grace : Mmm-hmm.
Ed Rooney : Last thing I need at this point in my career is fifteen hundred Ferris Bueller disciples running around these halls. He jeopardizes my ability to effectivley govern this student body.
Grace : Well, makes you look like an ass is what he does, Ed.
Ed Rooney : Thank you, Grace. I think you're wrong.
Grace : Oh, he's very popular Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads - they all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude.
Ed Rooney : That is why I have got to catch him this time- To show these kids the example he sets is a first class ticket to nowhere!
[he hands Grace some papers]
Grace : Oh, Ed, you sounded like Dirty Harry just then.
Ed Rooney : Really?
Grace : Uh-huh
Ed Rooney : [scoffs lightly] Thanks, Grace.

Grace : [a while after the first time Rooney yelled at "Sloane's Dad"] Peterson home on line one. And watch your mouth this time.
