Ferris Bueller Takes Another Day Off. Opening Scenes.
BLACK SCREEN
MAIN TITLES
Factory floor noises. Grinding, zips, zaps, metal tings, and pings ringing.
FADE IN:
INT. - FACTORY - DAY
CLOSE ON a worker's hand turning up a boom box so the music can be heard over the
factory clanging noise, SOUNDGARDEN'S Black Hole Sun track blares.
CROSSFADE:
WIDE ANGLE on whole TESLA GIGAFACTORY floor.
CUT TO:
FERRIS BUELLER walks along the car assembly line where we see workers putting in, and
attaching components on car frames. He walks to the boom box playing Soundgarden, and
turns down the volume a little, and then continues to walk, he looks at us.
FERRIS
I don't have a problem with music on the floor, but it's against
company policy so you might wonder why I let them. It's been
a minute so I'll catch you up. Remember my best friend, CAMERON?
That day we skipped high school all those years ago saved his
life, he probably saved himself, just with a little nudge in the right
direction. Anyway, long story short Mr. Frye is a silent partner with
ELON MUSK, and as part owner, and myself as floor manager (Stops
walking, and smiles. Starts walking again.) Our son BRAYDEN is
struggling, and I'm recruiting my wife SLOANE, and Cameron to
take Brayden out on a much-needed day off. (Ferris stops walking.)
Cameron walks in frame and stands next to Ferris - Cameron grins. Ferris looks at Cameron.
FERRIS
Is Sloane here?
CAMERON
Yup, with the car too.
FERRIS
Oh really, nice. (Looks at us, and smiles.)
CUT TO:
EXT. - GIGAFACTORY PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS
Sloane is wearing sheik sunglasses while parked in the Red 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California car
parallel with the front door of the Gigafactory. Ferris, and Cameron come out to meet her, Ferris
cell phone rings, he looks down at his phone, Elon Musk is calling, Ferris answers on speaker.
ELON
Ferris, where are you? The meeting has started.
FERRIS
Elon. I'm so sorry sir, family emergency.
ELON
Sorry to hear that, ok we'll reschedule take care.
CUT TO:
INT. - BOARDROOM - CONTINOUS
Elon stands in front of a security tv screen within the board room, executives sit around the table.
ELON
Is that a classic Ferrari? nice.
CUT TO:
CONTINUOUS.
We see Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron sitting in the Ferrari, Sloane revs the engine, and then
accelerates away.
FADE OUT:

FADE IN:
CONTINUED.
INT. - MARTIAL ARTS STUDIO - DAY
JEANIE is a 6th degree blackbelt teaching students in her Dojo, she notices Ferris, Sloane, and
Cameron walking in the entrance, and Jeanie stops her class for a moment, and walks up to them
to find out what brings them in.
JEANIE
Ferris, and wife? (Pause.) And Cameron? What a pleasant surprise.
What's up? Sorry I'm right in the middle of class, I don't have long to talk.
FERRIS
It's Brayden. We are going to take him on an adventure today, but I
need you to call him to ask him to meet you somewhere so he doesn't
suspect a thing.
JEANIE
You want me to help you, help Brayden skip school from his teaching
job?
FERRIS
Yup.
SLOANE
Brayden really needs this. SAMANTHA left him, and he's hurting.
CAMERON
Jeanie. Look at me. I'm part owner of Tesla.
Jeanie turns to her waiting class.
JEANIE
Ok kids call your parents, cutting class short today, I'll pro rate as a
free day.

Brayden sits with Jeanie at a table.
BRAYDEN
What is it? What's the emergency?
SWISH PAN to window.
Ferris, Sloane, and Cameron pull up curbside in the Ferrari.
SWISH PAN back to Brayden, and Jeanie's table. Jeanie sips her Frappuccino, and looks
coyly away.
BRAYDEN
Oh no you didn't Aunt Jeanie. You of all people.
Brayden is startled from a voice behind him.
FERRIS
Hi son. We heard.
