Quotes
Ed Rooney:
I don't trust this kid any further than I can throw him.
Grace:

Goofs
When Cameron kicks in the front of the Ferrari he breaks the glass on the front turn signal, yet in the following scenes the floor under the car is clean with no broken glass visible.
Crazy Credits
Mr. Rooney, having been chewed up by the dog, is walking down the street. A school bus driver lets him onto the bus, where the students are staring at him. Rooney notices one student has "SAVE FERRIS" written on his binder.
Alternate Versions
A line in the theatrical version is "The man could squash my nuts into oblivion." The TV version replaces "nuts" with a *very* badly-overdubbed "brains."
