Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


Not directly, but Cameron waited for his dad to come home. [[BerserkButton He saw the wrecked Ferrari]] [[AbusiveParents and was about to go to town on him]] [[UpToEleven worse than he ever did in Cameron's life.]] Taking a few cues from Ferris, Cameron delivers an epic, TheReasonYouSuckSpeech [[DrivenToSuicide which drives his dad to jump out of the broken window of his garage.]]

** This actually makes a lot of sense. Ferris' girlfriend Sloane was Harley Quinn in Series/BirdsOfPrey.

In the end, Grace (Rooney's secretary) comes clean; in a rare show of Edie [=McClurg=] shedding her usual cheerful demeanor, she admits that Rooney has behaved this way several times toward attractive female students, and that he has threatened Grace with more than just the loss of her job if she approaches the authorities. In an era more than 30 years before #MeToo, having Ferris busted for truancy suddenly becomes the least of Rooney's concerns ... and finally, Tom and Katie Bueller shed their usual preoccupied, clueless personas to let Rooney know they plan to have him prosecuted to the greatest extent allowed by law.

So the day Rooney breaks into the house to try to incriminate Ferris (by seeking evidence he is a truant) but is knocked unconscious by Jeannie is her actually knowing who the intruder is and revenge. And later, when she helps Ferris our in the climatic scene (Rooney stops Ferris from getting into the house), it’s not so much Jeannie deciding to look out for her brother but — with her also revealing she found his billfold on the kitchen floor from earlier — her refusal to help out someone who tried doing something despicable to her. Her comments are such that, “You’re damned lucky you’re getting away with what you did. You should be in prison!”

: That said, much of Jeannie's refusal to help Rooney out may have to do with her own loss of patience with Rooney, his dictator style of governing the high school, not giving a damn about the students and allowing boring teachers who have no sense of teaching (other than dry lectures that bore the students), and that it has long since been time to find a new principal who will motivate students and help them actually achieve.

[[WMG: Jeannie lets Principal Rooney get away with something]]
Jeannie and Principal Rooney share a very DarkSecret: One day at school (some time before the events of the movie), Rooney got Jeannie alone — under the pretense of lying a trap to catch Ferris — and, massively turned on, began propositioning her. Jeannie got scared and tried getting away, but he managed to get in a kiss and touched her inappropriately before she got away, clothes torn. Jeannie tries calling the police and telling her parents, but ignore her for different reasons (but not because they think she’s lying that someone in a position of trust doing something to her, but because they’re preoccupied with fawning and cooing over Ferris).

So the day Rooney breaks into the house to try to incriminate Ferris (by seeking evidence he is a truant) but is knocked unconscious by Jeannie is her actually knowing who the intruder is and revenge. And later, when she helps Ferris our in the climatic scene (Rooney stops Ferris from getting into the house), it’s not so much Jeannie deciding to look out for her brother but — with her also revealing she found his billfold on the kitchen floor from earlier — her refusal to help out someone who tried doing something despicable to her.

* The problem with this theory is that Ferris has already skipped school 9 times when we meet him. If anything, ''going'' to school would be a break from routine for him.
