Maybe “Moment” is better than “Scene” but yeah. It makes me laugh just thinking about it (I’m laughing right now!).
INT. FERRIS LEANS ON A WALL. THE WALL COLLAPSES TO SHOW THAT FERRIS HAS UNWITTINGLY STUMBLED UPON THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE CUBANS/RUSSIANS. ALL GUNS ARE DRAWN ON HIM.
Ferris: This. Could be a problem.
CUT TO: INT. FERRIS AND THE SOLDIERS ARE NOW LAUGHING, DRINKING, DANCING TO SOME MAMBO. THE SOLDIERS DRUNKINGLY EXIT, SLAPPING FERRIS ON THE BACK. SLOANE AND CAMERON ENTER.
Cameron: Ferris? What happened??
Ferris: Aww…they’re not such bad guys. They just needed a little oil and some growing room. So I gave them Alaska…and…your dad’s car.
Cameron: You gave away my dad’s car??!!
She really should have let Ferris hang. Then it would have been a good movie.
This was the only interpretation I ever had of her motivations.
Way back when, my interpretation was: you wouldn’t even sentence your worst enemy to another year of high school.
