The note on the garage door says he's here.

Don't worry about it, boss. I'll find him.

Um...

Hey, uh... hey, kid, are you the mechanic?

Me? A mechanic?

Do you see any grease under those nails?

Me a mechanic.

Look, now, fellas, we really don't have time for games.

We're looking for the mechanic.

He's probably looking for Fonzie.

Uh, if it's about your daughter, we never heard of him.

Hey, can the wisecracks, will you, chicky?

Do you know who you're talking to?

Uh, Hinstead, forget it.

This happens to be one

of the biggest talent scouts in Hollywood.

Hinstead!

Hollywood talent scout here in Milwaukee?

Right, and I'm Pinocchio.

Here, Pinocchio.

Look, we have some auditions in Chicago,

and-and our car broke down.

I mean, what's the difference?

Just show us where we can find this Fonzie guy, okay?

Hey, Pots, get a load of this.

"Jack Duvall, talent scout, Paramount Pictures, Hollywood."

This guy's on the level!

- Hollywood?! - All right, I do comedy.

- Wait till you see this. - You see?

Here we go.

Good evening, ladies and germs.

How do you like me so far?

- You're doing great, Malph. - I know, I still got it.

Yeah, well, and I sing. I sing real good.

- ♪ Venus, make her fair ♪ - Why? Why do you always...

♪ A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair ♪

- ♪ And take the brightest stars up in the skies ♪ -Gentlemen.

- ♪ And place them in her eyes for... ♪ -Please!

I'll clear this table in a minute.

Here. Here. What can I get for you?

Can you get rid of these two clowns, please?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm the clown. He only sings.

- Yeah, yeah. - Come on, come on.

♪ Venus, goddess of love that you are... ♪

We'll rehearse in here.

♪ Surely the things I ask... ♪

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Didn't you forget something?

That's enough.

I don't want to chap my lips.

Hey, Alfredo, life is great.

That's Fonzie.

Oh, no, no, don't worry about it, chief.

I'll-I'll take care of it.

Hey, uh, hey, kid, where you been?

Kid?

Well, well, whatever your name is.

L-Look, you got to fix our limousine.

This kid is on a break.

Get a load of that kid.

That hood's got some nerve.

Yeah.

Don't worry, boss. I'll take care of him.

- Sit down, Hinstead. - Right, boss.

Let me handle this.

Excuse me, sir?

Sir. That's very nice.

What can I do for you?

Well, look, I'm terribly sorry to bother you,

but, uh, do girls always run to you like this?

I got to tell you, this crowd is, uh, slow.

Usually, they jump.

Well, I want to tell you that, uh,

I'm a Hollywood talent scout.

Oh, no. Thanks very much,

but I discovered all the talent I need right here.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no.

I, uh... I-I don't think you understand.

You see, I've been combing the country

for America's new James Dean.

James Dean. Now, that's important.

I'll have your limo ready in an hour, Jack.

Now, wait, wait.

Now, I... I've been watching you,

and I think you've got a lot of potential.

I mean, you could be the next James Dean,

the hottest star in this country.

Couldn't we have this convo when I finish my dance?

I'm serious.

No, look, I'm serious. I...

Aren't you excited?

Hey, look at this.

Anybody's excited with a few minutes with Daphne.

This guy is really cool.

I mean, did you see the way the girls run up to him

when he snaps his fingers?

I mean, this guy has magic!

Hey, good. He'll be able to fix our limo like that.

Forget the car.

Hinstead, I think we've stumbled onto a major new talent.

I don't see

why you don't want to go to the convention.

Dad, I'm sorry, but this is my last summer before college,

and I've got to do something big.

I've got to do something exciting,

and that's why I can't go to the Leopard Convention.

What's wrong with the Leopard Convention?

Well, I'll tell you what's wrong with it.

Leopards, Leopards, we are true.

We won't change our spots for you.

Dad, that is not my idea of exciting.

Well, of course it's not exciting!

You forgot to growl.

What are you trying to do to me, anyway?

It'll be a fun family vacation.

What-what vacation, Dad?

It's here in Milwaukee.

Oh. Marion. Mar... tell him.

Tell him!

Richie's right!

Howard Cunningham, I have something to say.

Oh.

We have scrimped and saved all year!

Now, we didn't do this to go to downtown Milwaukee.

- That's right, Dad. - Yeah.

How can I tell my mother we went on vacation,

and we spent 80 cents for gas?

And that's if we take the long way!

I don't care, Marion.

Every summer, we go to the conven... Low.

Now, you all know my cousin Chachi.

There's your little boyfriend.

Hold your breath.

How you doing, blue eyes?

What are you selling today, shrimp?

Oh, no. I sold all the shrimp to Alfred.

But for you, I got no-smear lipstick.

We can test it out later.

Wah, wah, wah.

Yeah. I-I beg your indulgence, Mr. C.

Uh, we're not here to make you out.

We're not here to sell.

The reason I brought Chachi along

is 'cause he's got some very hot info.

Take it away.

Oh, yeah, really hot.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Shy little fellow.

My cousin, the one and only Fonz...

That's me.

Got discovered by a talent scout at Arnold's,

and he's going to Hollywood!

- Oh, that's amazing! - Oh! Oh, goodness.

- Wonderful! - That's great!

Kids, imagine, I have cooked veggies

for a Hollywood star.

Well, this is all very exciting,

but why is Chachi telling us this?

Modesty wouldn't allow me.

Of course I'll be keeping an eye on the garage

while Fonzie's gone.

Chach, this is my moment, not yours.

Hey, is it really true?

Oh, yeah. He's not a star yet,

but he will be after they make a screen test in Hollywood.

Ah, just a formality.

Have fun in Hollywood, Fonz.

Catch you later, blue eyes.

That'll be the day.

Oh. Oh, Arthur.

You don't need a screen test.

You will be a star the minute they see you.

Come in.

Oh, hi, Ralph. Hi, Potsie.

They recognized us.

Rich, you're not gonna believe it.

Pots and I here are going

to Hollywood tomorrow with the Fonz.

D-Da-Dad, they're going to Hollywood!

You bet.

Our last big fling, Rich.

Da-Dad, our last big fling!

Ralph, why are you carrying an ironing board?

I took off the legs.

Now it's a surf board.

Oh! Da-Dad, did you hear that?

He's gonna be surfing.

Hey, I just got a flash.

Why don't the Cunningham brood hop a ride

on my trip to stardom?

On behalf of the family, I accept.

Now, wait a minute.

Wait a minute!

Now, the convention starts tomorrow,

and I've already donated the dust pans!

Oh, Howard, come on now!

Think about this!

Now, we're a democratic family.

We want to go!

Marion, I'm going to be the Exalted Keeper

of the Leopard Lodge!

Joanie, Joanie, this is for Hollywood.

Show your dimples.

Don't you understand?

That's the first step to becoming the Grand Poobah.

And a man has got to do what he's got to do.

And I'm gonna do what I got to do.

And we're gonna go to California.

♪ California, here we come ♪

♪ Right back where we started... ♪

Fonzarelli?

Yeah.

Now, here's the script for your screen test.

Now, study it and learn the lines by tomorrow.

The test is at 8:00.

Oh, he'll-he'll be ready.

Uh, the limousine will be here at 6:00.

Hey, who am I making a movie with, roosters?

Come on, you'll need some makeup.

Makeup? Hey, let me tell you something.

I'm supposed to be the new James Dean, not the new...

Natalie Wood.

Well, she has to get up at 5:00.

Now, the limo will be here at 6:00.

- Now, you got to be ready. - Hey, boss?

Hey, I'll tell you, it ain't easy being a star.

Well, what do you think of it, huh?

Oh, Mr. C, that is a beauty of a shirt.

- Yeah? - What did you do, plug it in?

I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I was just kidding.

It's nice. It's nice, Dad.

Yeah. Thanks.

One out of two isn't bad.

Nice shirt.

Oh, thank you.

Uh, look, I-I-I want to see if I can find that, uh...

that drugstore.

You know, the one where Lana Turner was discovered in?

I, uh... I got to buy some suntan lotion.

Yeah, I see where it is. Yeah.

Say, uh, listen, I read in Life magazine

that most of the Hollywood stars stay in those cottages

at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

Oh, that's not true, Mr. Cunningham.

No? Well, they wouldn't stay at a place like this, would they?

- Sure, they would. - Why?

Because this is better.

Besides, it's near the beach.

Oh, yeah. Maybe you're right.

Excuse me.

Could you, uh, tell me where I check in?

Oh, yeah, the lobby is right through that arch

and to your right.

Right through the arch and to the right?

Uh-huh.

That's a beauty of a shirt.

Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Hey, isn't that Lorne Greene?

Lorne Greene? At the Hollywood Palms?

Hi, Dad. Bye, Dad. I'm going to the beach.

Just a minute, young lady.

I'd like to see your bathing suit.

- Can't I just tell you about it? - Let's see it.

Straps are nice.

Now, you get back in there and put on the rest of that suit.

Uh, Mother said it was all right.

Marion!

Mar...

Now...

Now, that's what I call a decent bathing suit.

Marion, did you see Joanie?

She's got a figure.

Fonz, what's the matter? You got a cold?

No, I'll tell you something... The smog here is drastic.

Oh, yeah, smog, yeah. This is Hollywood.

♪♪

Wrong, Cunningham. This is Hollywood.

Heyyy.

I tell you something, Cunningham,

this is fun in the sun.

- Fonz? - Yeah?

Ha-Have you noticed that you're the only person on the beach

wearing a leather jacket?

Course I noticed. It brings me luck.

Hi. I'm Wendy.

I just love your leather jacket.

Need I say more?

I'm getting rid of my rabbit's foot.

Marion, I don't know why you're wearing that outfit.

Well, you know I burn so.

Yeah, but it covers up your bathing suit.

And that suit cost me $20.

The least you could do is to carry it.

Well, that's silly. I'd get arrested.

Well, this looks like a good spot.

Oh, it certainly does.

Watch it, Howard.

I am. I am.

Oh, Howard!

Oh... oh, I'm terribly sorry.

Watch it, chowderhead.

Ch-Chowderhead?

Yeah. Chowderhead.

You guys really lift weights?

Well, why don't we just show you?

Come on, guys.

- Yeah. - Show me? Um... One, two, three.

You okay up there?

Uh, when you pick a girl up, you really pick her up.

Oh, I like a girl I can look up to.

Let's go. Hey.

Aah!

Look at this, Pots. Look where we are.

I can't wait to hit the surf.

On an ironing board?

I think your tide's gone out, Malph.

It'll work. I can see the headlines in Milwaukee now:

"Malph hangs ten in Pacific."

Hope you can get it to stay this time, dear.

I don't want to burn.

What's to burn?

The only thing you've got in the sun

are your tongue and your toenails.

Ah.

Oh! Howard, my hat.

It's lovely, dear.

No, it blew off.

Oh, Jiminy Crickets, Marion.

Hurry.

Oh, Howard, sand.

Oh!

- Watch it. - Look out.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Chowderhead!

I know your father.

Oh, my soft angel, we got to get you some suntan lotion.

You're getting all red.

Your drugstore or mine?

Heyyy.

Uh, Fonz?

We really do need to memorize these lines.

Hey, Rich?

This is one part I know by heart.

Later.

Later.

Look, Howard.

They're tossing that girl in the air.

Isn't that fun?

That's not just some girl, Marion.

That's our daughter.

Hey, Ralph, Potsie, what's going on?

Rich, some girl down the beach lost her top!

Come on, Rich, before some weirdo gives her a towel.

Beach life.

Oh.

Just thought I'd... drop in.

No, actually, I didn't see you.

Uh, are you all right? Are you hurt?

Uh, no, no, but you're lying on my legs.

Oh. Oh, right. I-I'm sorry.

Excuse me.

It's all right.

Hi. I'm Nancy Croft.

Oh, hi.

I'm, uh... I'm Richie Cunningham.

Uh, you're carrying a script. Are you an actor?

No. No, I'm a... I'm a writer.

Oh, did you write that script?

Well-well, yeah, I...

Sort of, you know. I worked, uh...

Well, actually, no.

No, it belongs to a friend of mine.

Oh, but you do write for movies or for TV, right?

I-I'm more of a journalist.

Let's talk about you.

Well, uh... what do you want to know?

Well, uh...

could I rub some suntan lotion on you?

I don't have any.

Oh.

Your drugstore or mine?

What are you talking about?

Hey, wait a minute.

Another girl's top fall off?

Better. They caught a shark.

A live shark. They got it penned up out there

until Marineland can come and pick it up.

Did you hear that, Malph? Isn't that great?

They caught a live shark.

- Great. - A live shark!

Shark! Pots! A shark.

Pots, come on! Help.

Where is he? Where?

Shark! Aah!

Everybody switch.

Checking galleys?

Oh, yeah. Well, that's very critical work.

Oh, that's nice.

Hey, Cunningham, you ready to go over that script now?

Oh, not now, Fonz.

- Haven't got time. - What?

Oh, well, I-I met a nice girl here.

This is Nancy Croft.

Hey, you met a beach bunny, huh?

I... I'm not a beach bunny.

I'm an oceanography major at UCLA.

Yeah. Oceanography?

Oh, that's study of the sea.

I knew that. I knew that.

Have you seen the shark yet?

You telling me there's a real shark out there?

Yeah, I sure do. A man-eater.

They caught him. They got him in a cage underwater.

You want to swim out and take a look at him?

Yeah, let's go swim out and take a look at the shark.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hold it, hold it. Time out, here.

You seen one man-eater, you seen 'em all.

Hey, Nancy!

Who is that guy? Great skier.

He's my cousin.

They call him the California Kid.

His real name's Harold.

Hey, hey, girls.

All right. Yeah.

Hi, Nance.

Hey, girls.

What'd you think of my perfect landing?

Great.

Do you know that Fonzie...

All right, girls, you can drop the B-squad.

The first team is here.

Well, it looks like we got a shutout here, you know?

Home team, zip.

Fonz, uh, one, two, three, four, uh, five.

Where'd you come from, paleface?

Oh, uh... we're from Milwaukee.

Oh. Couple farm boys, huh?

Excuse me, ladies.

You're very lucky I ain't a farm boy.

I'd have to rotate your crops.

Uh, i-in actuality, see, uh...

I'm a journalist and Fonzie here is an ex-garage mechanic

who is now going to be the new James Dean.

James Dean?

A grease monkey?

How'd you like me to remove your clutch?

Fonz, take it easy, because he's Nancy's cousin, he...

Well, actually, we're only second cousins.

Nancy.

I'm kidding, guys. You don't want to fight.

Yeah, Nancy's right. Fighting's kid stuff.

Let's settle this in a manly way.

Hey, you get a man, I'll settle it.

How about a little contest?

You get some water skis, and we'll run the slalom course.

Fonz?

Those patches on his shirt...

Those come from winning water-ski contests.

Rest easy, Cunningham.

Okay, then. The slalom.

Tomorrow afternoon.

Be here at 1:00 sharp.

My cousin's good. Can your friend ski?

The Fonz?

Can he water-ski?

Ha!

Can you water-ski?

You'll see, Cunningham, but first thing's first.

Hey, everybody, here's the sticks for the hot dogs.

Where'd you get those?

They're what's left of my surfboard.

I finally caught a wave.

Here, pass them around.

Hey, can I have one?

- Little warm over here. - Grab one.

Oh, Howard, isn't the beach wonderful?

Mm-hmm.

Especially since I don't have to chase after your hat anymore.

- Oh, Howard, you're so romantic. - Mmm.

I'll tell you something:

I really love this California life.

You want a marshmallow?

You mean you're staying?

What, are you kidding?

After tomorrow, when I take care of this simple screen test,

I'm gonna be here forever.

Really? That's terrific.

You think that's terrific?

I'll show you something terrific... around my lip area.

Hey.

Let's walk.

I don't like crowds. Do you?

Oh. Oh, no.

No, I always do my Christmas shopping early.
