weekend comes, but I go home, ready to

for you.

These days are ours.

Happy days.

These days are ours.

Share them with me.

Goodbye, great sky, hello, blue.

There's nothing can hold me when I hold
you. It feels so right.

It can't be wrong. Rockin' and rollin'
all week long.

Monday, Monday, happy day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, happy day.

Thursday, Friday, happy day.

Saturday, what a day.

Rubin' all week with you.

There you go, Rich. That's pretty good.

Hi,

Linda Sue.

What's the story with Linda Sue
Crutchfield?

She's not Linda Sue anymore.

She's into beat poetry and changed her
name to Dawn.

She does look like she got up too early
this morning.

Cauldrons of capitalistic caffeine.

My mind is a kite caught in a tree.

Dog collars graze my eyes.

Can Venetian blinds really see?

That's the essence, man.

And here, my little bird of the night,
is a copy of my poem, Ode to Nothing.

What do you say we have an espresso and
discuss the inner meanings of

nothingness?

A simple no would have been all right.

And she can forget the espresso.

Gee, she memorized that fast.

Not a lot of laughs.

All right, Al, what do you think?

Well, Ralph, I understood the dog
collars.

But you lost me with the Venetian
blinds.

Come on, Al. It's the 1960s. Got to stay
up with the times.

Wait.

Some guy must have given a girl a ring.

It's going to be a hot time at old
Inspiration Point tonight.

It used to be when you gave a girl a
ring to give you a kiss. A ring today

straight to the Alamo. That's right.

That's right. You mean to go to Texas?

No, no, Al.

The Alamo is a special part of
Inspiration Point. They have no street

there. But why do they call it the
Alamo?

Oh, because it's so much fun to...
Remember the Alamo.

I should have paid more attention to
Rosa Coletti.

One night she said, Alamo.

I put ice cream on her pie.

Hi, guys.

You like it? Hi, Joanie.

Hey, Rick.

Joanie's wearing a guy's ring.

Joanie, what is this? I mean, you...
Who, what, why, where, when...

I wouldn't want you to bust anything.

Who's Jason? He gave it to me this
morning.

Will you give it right back?

You are too young to wear a guy's ring.
Wait a minute, Rich.

Remember, you just said it was the 60s.
You gotta go with the times. Right.

We go with the times. The sisters do not
go with the times.

Listen, Rich. I'm a senior in high
school, and so is Jason. I don't care.

give that ring right back.

Tony, look.

There are implications.

I know. And tonight I get to find out if
they're true.

Remember.

You guys can't... I don't understand how
you can just say it out like that.

Oh, really, Rich? I'm not a child.

And what's that supposed to mean? That's
for me to know and you to find out.

What are you supposed to mean by that?

Hi, Jason. Hi, Julie.

Will you look at that?

Kissing in public.

I think that is disgraceful.

Rich, forget public.

Worry about private.

Hey, get a hold of yourself, Rich. Come
on. Look, I gotta do something.

All right, write that down. That is the
fastest way to pick up a new chick.

Tomorrow we will discuss the use of
station wagons other than carpooling.

Class dismissed.

Hey, what's going on, Fonz?

The youth.

Education. I've got a responsibility to
teach.

All right, the Fonz teaching how to make
time with chicks?

Oh, can I join? Yeah, I'll check the
availability on my underachievers class.

What are you in, some kind of trance or
something?

No, no.

Some guy gave Joni his ring.

Some guy gave Joanie his ring. The
Alamo.

Remember?

Hey, Mal.

When did you first go to the Alamo?

Oh, well, I was in the surgery with my
thumb.

When? I'm also in the surgery with my
thumb.

Mal, do you got to speak up?

All right, I'm going tonight.

I'm telling you, of course, of course, I
know exactly why we can't solve this

problem. Why, fine. It's not our
problem. Good point. It's your mother's

problem. Mom?

That's right. Girls talk.

Oh, if I couldn't tell Mom, though, I
mean, that would be embarrassing. You've

got two choices. You talk to Mrs. C or
you talk to Joanie now.

I hope Mom's home. Yes.

Oh, wait, Joanie. If it was me, I would
just die.

Aren't you excited about going to the
Alamo tonight?

Well, yeah.

You know, there's no written law. about
parking back there in the Alamo. I mean,

who is there?

Well, maybe you ought to tell Jason you
don't want to. You wouldn't dare.

Well, you're right. He'd probably never
go out with me again.

Kissing's simple in Oklahoma.

You just had to find a place that wasn't
too dusty.

A girl does have to be careful when it
comes to her reputation.

I have a nice reputation.

You do now.

But what about after?

Of course, the girl's got to be careful
what she does.

Oh, if you're too chicken. I'm not
chicken.

Well, I'm just glad it's a decision I
don't have to make.

Yeah.

Don't you look delicious?

Now, you just sit there.

Keep yourself warm.

I finished making the sauce. Now, let's
see the chicken stock and the butter and

the seasoning.

And one cup of wine.

Okay.

Two. Nice, sweetheart.

I am making

coq au vin.

Oh, really? Well, you just be careful.
Do you remember what happened the last

time you cooked in wine sauce?

No, I don't remember. Exactly.

Because we're going to eat as soon as
the children get home. Oh, honey, I

haven't got time to eat. I've got to go
to the Leopard Lodge.

I'm up for the Father of the Year Award.

Oh, I am so proud of you. Yeah, why
don't you come on with me? It'll create

good impression.

No, I can't. I'm right in the middle of
dinner.

We'd only be a little while. I just have
to be interviewed by the wife of the

Grand Poobah and the Vice Poobah.

Where was I?

Oh, yes. A cup of wine.

There.

That'll do it.

Now, let's see.

Mom! Oh, Mom.

Listen. You have got to talk to her
right away. It is very, very important.

Right away? All right, dear. I promise.
Good.

Who?

Joanie, Mom. You've got to talk to
Joanie. All right.

Well, why?

Look, Mom, I don't know quite how to say
this, but you know that guy that

Joanie's been dating?

Oh, Jason, he's a lovely boy. Yeah,
sure, lovely boy, up until now.

From here on out, it's deep water time,
Mom, and I think Joanie's in over her

head. Oh, Richard, your sister's always
been a good swimmer.

Sit down, Mom.

See, today, Joanie started wearing
Jason's ring.

I'm going to start again, Mom.

All right, look, do you know Inspiration
Point?

Know it.

I was there at the dedication.

Well,

then you know how it's divided up into
different sections. You know, let me

any section its own little name. Oh,
Richard, that's so cute.

Yeah.

So anyway, you know, the younger kids,
that includes Joanie.

Why, they go to a place we call boot
camp.

Why do you call it boot camp?

It's where you go to learn the ropes.

Oh.

And where do you go?

Well, Mom.

Richard. Richard.

Mason Dixon.

It's where the girls draw the line.

And Arthur?

Little Bighorn.

No survivors?

No.

Okay, I get it. No, no, Mom, that's not
even the point. You see, the point is

that now that Joanie is wearing Jason's
ring, why, she thinks it's all right to

go to the Alamo.

That's another section of the... Yeah,
it's so much fun to remember, you see.

But we didn't go to the Alamo until we
were in college. And Joanie's in high

school. And I know it's the 60s, but
it's very dark there, Mom.

I think it's very important that you
talk to her right away.

Richard. No, I promised your father I
would go to the Leopard Lodge.

Daddy is up for Father of the Year.

Okay, sweetheart, I'm all set. Let's go.

Oh, hi, Richard.

Okay, Dad, let's go.

Aren't you going with me, Mary?

I'm going to have a mother -daughter
talk with Joanie.

Good. It's about time. Two things. Her
skirts are too short and she's thinking

about having her ears pierced.

Come on, Gary. You must be late.

Mom, the Alamo.

So much fun to remember.

Hi, Mom. Oh, Joanie.

Did you have a good day, dear?

It was okay.

Good.

Is something bothering you, dear?

Why? Just because I'm eating ice cream?

No, because you're eating it with a
bottle opener.

Oh, yeah, there is something.

Mmm, what's that smell?

Oh, this is my chicken wine sauce.
Johnny, would you taste this and see

think about it?

Mmm, that's good.

Oh,

it's getting there?

Now, what did you want to talk about?

Well, something happened today.

Jason gave me his ring.

There's a commitment that goes with that
ring.

Well, it's about going up to the Alamo.

You see, Polly says don't go, and Bunny
says maybe go, and Vanessa says go, go.

Now, what do you think, Joanie?

Oh, Mom, I don't know what to think.

Well, I push for Polly and the don't go.

Mom, I may want to go, go.

Uh -oh.

Joanie, Joanie. Honey, this is just so
nice.

I like having our real mother sauce
talk.

Mom, that's mother -daughter.

That, too.

Well, how about you and Dad? I mean, how
did you know he was the one?

Well, I liked him for a couple of
things.

I liked his laugh.

I said to myself, do you want to live
the rest of your life with... I sure

And what else, Mom?

I liked his walk.

Yeah, Jason has a real nice smile.

Mom, I like him so much.

I just, I want to do something for him.

Bake him some cookies.

Come on, Mom, I'm serious.

So am I.

Poor Joanie.

Times have changed.

But people, people haven't.

You just do what's right.

Oh, the table moved.

I think we ought to eat something.

Well, we are. We're having chicken sauce
and wine here.

I don't remember having any chicken,
Mama.

Neither did I, and the sauce is almost
gone.

Oh, Mama, I don't know what to do. Jason
will be here soon, and I...

feels like an adult.

And the other half wants you to tell me
I can't go out tonight.

Oh, my little baby's growing up.

Oh, I know that you're going to do the
right thing tonight.

I have confidence in you.

My

two

favorite damsels in distress.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, Mr.
Cunningham, you are the Leopard Lodge

of the year. I couldn't agree more.

Oh!

Father of the year!

I am one proud son.

However... What's that?

There is one small formality.

Yes, we need to meet the rest of your
family.

Oh, well, why not right now?

I know they're home because they're
having a mother -daughter talk. Uh, Dad,

don't you suppose you ought to call Mom
just to let her know we'll be dropping

in? Don't be silly. Mom loves surprises.

I'll help you carry this.

Oh, Arthur, I think this wine's gone
sour.

It's coffee, Mom. Yeah, right. Bottoms
up there, Mrs. Sears.

Oh, I gotta get ready for my date with
Jason. Yeah, right. About that date.

a minute, Peters.

I haven't thought about him in years.

Let's toast him.

Oh, my ring.

All right, we'll talk while we're
looking for it. Come on, Arthur.

All right, I'll make you trade. I'll
make you trade.

Two dips for two sips, all right? Here
we go.

All right.

All right.

All right, Mr. C, here you go.

Sip.

Good girl.

And one more.

Sip.

Ladies, you're just gonna love my wife.

And she's such a wonderful mother.

Come on, big guy. Let's come on, big
guy. All right.

Yeah, nice.

Dip over here. Look under the table,
Johnny.

Marion!

Fonzie! Johnny!

Bob!

This is Richard Connors and a couple of
names.

She's tipsy. It's the chicken.

She's entertaining a whore -plum.

Disgraceful. Now, wait a minute. Will
you grab your mother? My ring!

Oh, she's slipping. Oh, it's an orange.

Now, Mr. C., if you don't mind, I will
take these two ladies out to the car.

Here you go. You're doing great. Oh,
yeah.

All right, Marion, I want some answers.

Oh, Howard, I never knew that food could
be so intoxicating.

You never could hold your chicken,
Marion.

I did my best. We sat here at this table
and we just let our... hair down.

Yeah, but what about your talk, huh?
Well, we had a wonderful talk. We talked

about everything, me and you and your
laugh and your walk and her future and

Twinkle Toes Peters. Will you forget
about Twinkle Toes Peters? What about

Joanie? Oh, Howard, I put my money on
her.

Yeah, well, I'm putting my foot down. I
don't think she should go out tonight.

Oh, Howard. Now, we've done our best to
teach Joanie what's right. Now, I think

we ought to let her make her own
decisions.

Well, she's so young, Marion.

Maybe if I had a talk with her, huh? Oh,
Howard.

What can you say in one evening that you
haven't said all these years?

Well, you're right.

I sure miss the days when I could send
her up to her room.

Oh, what round is this?

Have another cup of coffee.

Oh, I'll get it.

That must be Jason.

Oh, hi, Jason. Come on in. Hi, how you
doing? Hello.

Hello, Jason. Hi.

Mom, Dad, can I talk to Jason a minute?

Oh, sure.

Come on, sweetheart.

My money's on you.

We'd better get going, don't you think?
The gang will wonder where we are.

Jason, I don't care about the gang.

I don't understand.

Vanessa and Bunny are saying I'm chicken
if I don't go to the Alamo. And Polly's

telling them I'm crazy if I do.

Let me finish.

Someday maybe we'll go to the Alamo. And
then maybe not.

But that's for me to decide.

Not for Bunny.

or Polly or Vanessa or anybody else. You
don't want to go?

No.

Oh, Joanie, I was so relieved.

You know, Bill and Chuck put me through
the same thing.

Oh, why didn't you tell me?

I thought they'd call me a chicken if we
didn't go to the Alamo.

Aren't we stupid?

Yeah. Next time we'll do what we want.

Right. Well, here, Jason, here's your
ring back.

Yeah. We'll get a fresh start.

Right. Want to go to the movie Saturday?

I'd love to.

Joanie, I had a great evening.

Joanie?

Okay, bucko, stay away from my sister.

You want to see the Alamo? You go to
Texas.

What's eating you?

I'll tell you what's eating me. I happen
to be the older brother to this sister.

I gave Jason his ring back.

You're my kind of guy.

Yeah.

Now, where were you two?

Bye, Jason. See you Saturday night. See
you. See you, Jason. See you.

I'll tell you, that's a nice young
fella.

Yeah.

Joanie, listen, about tonight, I mean, I
think I was trying to... Well, I

probably went a little... Rich.

Yeah? You stuck your nose in where it
didn't belong.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

I learned my lesson. I mean, you're
older now, so from now on, I'll just

out of the way. That's all.

Hey, big brother.

Yeah? Well, about next time.

You better be there.

All right, I will.

I don't know where it happened, but
somewhere along the line, you grew up.

Thank you.

I gave his ring back, Fawn. You gave his
ring back. Hey, Cunningham. I think we

raised her right.

How come you never mentioned Winkle
Close Peters before?

I only went out with him three times.
What a dipper.

How come you stopped going with him?

He was trampled to death by a conga
line.

find that hard to believe, Marion.

I'm kidding.

Yeah, you still got your sense of humor
while I lost being father of the year to

Fred Brill.

Okay. Attention, everybody.

Joanie's got an announcement to make.
Joanie? We would like to present Howard

Cunningham our father of the year award.
Oh.

Now, isn't that beautiful?

Well, I...

I just don't know what to say except
that I'm glad you married me,

instead of Twinkle Toes Peter.
