Ah.







Who is this, 
who is coming?



You know, as long 
as I've known Him,
Everything Works for Him.

There's nothing He can't handle.
I can't handle ANYTHING --
School, Parents, The Future...

Ferris can Do ANYTHING...
I don't know What I'm Gonna Do.


Ferris Bueller's Parade


ah (interj.)
mid-15c., an expression of surprise, delight, disgust, or pain in nearly all Indo-European languages, but not found in Old English (where the equivalent expression was la!), so perhaps from Old French a "ah!, oh! woe!"

ach (interj.)
aspirated form of ah; in English often used in representations of German or Celtic speech.

 
ow (interj.)
14c. as an exclamation of surprise; by 1895 as an expression of sudden pain. Compare oh, ah, ouch.

It's getting late, buddy, we better go 
get the car back Home.

Ferrous Lad :
What? What Do You...
We have a few hours.
We have until 6:00.

I'm sorry, I mean, I know You Don't Care
but it does Mean 
My Ass.

You think I Don't Care?

I know You Don't Care.

Oh, that hurts, Cameron.
Cameron, what have you seen today?
-Nothing Good.

Nothing...

Nothing Good? This...
What do you mean, "Nothing Good"?
We've seen everything Good!
We've seen the whole city!

We went to a museum,
We saw priceless works of art.
We ate pancreas.
Saw... What?
What's wrong?

Look over there.

What's he doing?

He's licking the glass and making
obscene gestures with his hands.

What?

Don't! Don't.

He didn't leave.
He's probably Doing Something.

No, it really busts my hump, you know?

Oh, Cameron, he didn't ditch us
or anything. He's Here.

For all we know, he went back to school.

He would not go back to school.

Yeah, he'd do it. He'd just do it 
just to make me sweat.

No, he would not
Cameron, come on.

Makes me mad.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
You're such a wonderful crowd.
We'd like to play a little tune for you.
It's one of my personal favorites
and I'd like to dedicate it
to a Young Man who doesn't think
he's seen anything Good, today.
Cameron Frye, This One's for You.

-Ferris! Get off of the float!
-What are you doing?

Get off the float! l can't believe you.

How'd you get up there?
You're out of your mind!

You know, as long as I've known Him,
Everything Works for Him.

There's nothing He can't handle.
I can't handle ANYTHING --
School, Parents, The Future...

Ferris can Do ANYTHING...
I don't know What I'm Gonna Do.

-College.
-Yeah. But to do what?

What are you interested in?

Nothing.

Me neither.

You're crazy!

What do you think 
Ferris is gonna do?



 
ha-ha 
also haha, used of laughter since ancient times; Old English ha ha. Also in Greek (ha ha, in Euripides, Aristophanes), Latin (hahae). A different attempt at representation in English is py-hy (1580s).

Sometimes interchanged with ah and expressing surprise, distress, etc. A ha-ha (1712), from French, was "an obstacle interrupting one's way sharply and disagreeably;" so called because it "surprizes ... and makes one cry Ah! Ah!" [Alexander Le Blond, "The Theory and Practice of Gardening," 1712].
