Ferris Bueller's Day Off (2/3) Movie CLIP - He's a Righteous Dude (1986) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) and Grace (Edie McClurg) discuss Ferris and his popularity.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Teenaged Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick) is a legend in his own time thanks to his uncanny skill at cutting classes and getting away with it. Intending to make one last grand duck-out before graduation, Ferris calls in sick, "borrows" a Ferrari, and embarks on a one-day bacchanal through the streets of Chicago. Dogging Ferris' trail at every turn is high-school principal Rooney (Jeffrey Jones), determined to catch Bueller in the act of class-cutting. Writer/director John Hughes once again tries to wed satire, slapstick, and social commentary, as Ferris Bueller's Day Off starts like a house afire and goes on to make "serious" points about status-seeking and casual parental cruelties. It brightens up considerably in the last few moments, when Ferris' tattletale sister (Jennifer Grey) decides to align herself with her merry prankster sibling. A huge moneymaker, Ferris Bueller's Day Off eventually spawned a TV sitcom.

I love that secretary with her Midwestern whine. Cracks me up when she says "righteous dood".

[HuskyGamersUNITE]

00:47 When Grace says "He's a righteous dude", it was not in the original script. Edie McClurg ad-libbed it in her best Chicago accent.

[triscat]

Edie McClurg is a gem! Steals every scene she's in.

[dedricthere]

That actress had that role on lock. Memorable.

[Transitfan]

I laughed every time she says "with you bad knee, you shouldn't be throwing anyone" best timing

[stellarwind]

These two had amazing comedic chemistry

[BaronOfAnarchy]

I love when after she says dickheads she has that sweet, innocent smile. Funny.

This film is a masterpiece. And John Hughes should be considered as a master director.

She was fantastic in this and she was outstanding as the rental car agent in planes trains and automobiles

[MaggiePayne]

"Well, he's very popular, Ed. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, dickheads. They all adore him. They think he's a righteous dude."

[hasw]

"Well with your bad knee Ed you shouldn't throw anybody"

[despiteallmyrage]

*"Thank you, Grace. I think you're wrong."*

[MCO]

Grace: They think he's a righteous dude.

Rooney: (eyeroll)

[TodayFreedom]

Oh Jesus it still makes me laugh 40 years later.😂 When he looks at her and asks, “Really?” God I miss the 80s. So glad to have lived through them. What a perfect time to have been an adolescent.

[danserdutz]

Edie McClurg ... in every film, a wondrous delight! This one line is beyond classic. :) One of my fav films.

[benmorgan]

The secretary is the most adorable woman in any movie

These two were the highlight of the movie.
