Happy Days is filmed before a studio audience.

Okay, I got the camera working now.

I want everyone to smile as you come through the door.

Here we go.

Lights, camera, action.

Come on.

Oh, that's good! Good!

Very good.

Good... good...

- Very good! Good! - Howard?

- Huh? - Uh, your film is dribbling.

Huh?

Oh, for goodness sakes.

Well, so much for "even a child can operate it," Dad.

Well, I don't understand it.

I never even touched it.

Now will you look at the instruction manual, Howard?

What good is the manual, Marion?

It's written in Japanese.

Where is it?

Right where you put it... Upstairs in the wastebasket.

Oh...

Let me tell you, these films are gonna be fabamundo.

As long as, uh, certain gloomy Gus here shapes up.

What's up, Gus?

It's-it's... it's just... just college.

How could that be wrong?

You just started.

Well, I'll tell you.

It's not the way they show it in those brochures.

You know, with the pictures of a... of a guy and a girl

sitting under a tree, talking together.

Yeah.

I sat under a tree.

All I picked up was a squirrel.

Now, I'm in college now.

Is it too much to ask to want to date college girls?

Well, that's your first mistake.

You don't ask me. Ask them.

Well, you think I didn't try that?

Look, freshman girls... they only want to date upperclassmen.

And seniors... they're only interested in marrying doctors.

The homecoming dance is tomorrow night.

I don't have a date,

and I absolutely refuse to take a high school girl!

Now, will you cool your heels, Red?

The Fonz will set you up socially.

I've only got one day.

Hey, the places I take you, you don't strike out.

Well, Fonz, you see, I-I do want kind of a-a nice girl

to take to the homecoming.

I mean, not a girl who pops up out of a cake.

All right, all right, forget class.

I'm gonna take you... I'm gonna take you

to a place called, uh, the Finster Memorial Library.

Library? For girls?

That's right.

See, girls got two things in common.

One is that they all love to read.

Uh, well, wh-what's the other thing?

Now, didn't I tell you this place was hopping with chicks?

Yeah.

You're gonna get a notch in your "liberry" card.

Shh!

Are you sure Richie's here?

Would Howie lie to me?

Pots, I don't believe my eyes... look!

There's Fonzie.

Yeah. What's the Fonz doing in the library?

They probably put in a sexy book section.

Yeah.

- Come on, let's see. - Okay.

- Hey, Fonz. - Hey, Fonz.

Well, if it ain't the two stooges.

Boy, Fonz...

this is the last place we thought we'd find you.

- Yeah. - Are you saying I can't read?

- No, Fonz, no, you read great. - No.

- Your lips never even move. - Yeah.

Just-just, Fonz, you're not the kind of guy

I picture with his nose in a book.

I have many sides.

Now, what do you want? I'm busy.

We got to find Rich, Fonz.

- There's big doings tonight. - You bet.

We're all planning a panty raid at the Kenwood Hall,

the girls dorm.

Yup. Fonz, Carter's, Frederick's of Hollywood,

Fruit of the Loom.

What do you say?

What do I say? Panty raid?

Child's tomfoolery.

Child's tomfoolery... Exactly what I said, Fonz,

but they're forcing us to go.

Richie, too... They're forcing him.

Where is he?

Richie is on a raid all his own.

I suggest you leave him alone.

Oh, right, Fonz, but could you do us a favor

and tell him to meet us at Mitchell Hall, 9:30 tonight.

Any later, and he'll miss out.

I'll tell him. Good-bye.

- Thanks, Fonz. - See you, Fonz.

No, wait! No, don't do that! Hey!

Fonzie, a girl just threw War and Peace at me!

Hit me in the head.

Will you keep it down? We're in a "liberry."

Shh!

All right, okay, let's just quit.

I've tried three times, and I've struck out every time.

Let's just forget it.

You're not quitting.

Now, look, when you're strolling down life's highway,

you don't remember the strikeout...

Only the home run.

Now, either you're gonna give it your best shot,

or don't shoot at all.

Okay... Look out, 'cause I'm gonna do it.

Now, you're sizzling.

Oh, excuse me.

Uh, is this seat taken?

Oh, good. Good.

Oh!

Oh...

Slow beginning, but overall, a very, very good read.

You read the entire book so fast?

Oh, oh, you noticed that?

Well, yeah, yeah, I'm a speed reader.

Self-taught.

Oh. How long you been reading that way?

Oh, years.

I'm a member of the Book of the Day Club.

Hmm. Then, uh...

why were you always getting chewed out

for not doing your reading in driver's ed class?

How did you know that?

We were in the same class in high school.

Remember, Richie?

Oh! Oh! Oh, sure!

- I... I remember you. - Yeah.

Yeah, certainly, you were the...

- Mm! - Right. Vaguely. I...

Not at all. I... I'm Lori Beth Allen.

Uh, you wouldn't remember me.

We had different friends, I had different hair.

I had this tooth over here fixed.

- It was... - Lori Beth.

You always ignored me.

Well, um, I'm grown up now.

I'm in college.

You-You WM, too?

Oh, yes. Yeah.

Do you live at home?

No, I'm in the dorms. What about you?

Oh. Oh, I, uh... I-I live in a house.

Oh. Whose? Phi Delta?

- No. - Alpha Tau Omega?

No, uh... Mama Papa Sister.

Who...?

Well, uh, my... my parents.

I figure that, either way,

you eat a lot of meatloaf, right?

Yeah, well, I'm about through here.

I finished my book, too.

Oh, uh, Mary Beth?

Lori Beth.

Oh, oh, right, I-I remember...

I-I just wanted to... to ask you something...

Oh...

I just thought that... Hey, listen, why...

why don't we go to Arnold's where we can really talk, okay?

We could go back to my dorm room.

We could do that?

Oh, c-certainly.

Sure, we-we could do that.

Talk, huh?

Good. My roommate's in the infirmary.

Oh.

Talking in the dorms.

And the WOW request line is open.

And this one's dedicated to Lori Beth from Richie.

♪ There in the gleam of the dream days of ours ♪

♪ The sweet mysteries in the star-speckled skies... ♪

They're playing my song.

That's my favorite, too.

I love your new hairdo.

I liked it better the old way.

Me, too. Much better.

Would you like to go

to the homecoming dance with me tomorrow night?

I'd love to.

Me, too.

Mmm, that was nice.

There's plenty more where that came from.

You know, we have to watch the time, Richie.

If it's...

If you're not out by 10:00, we could be in a lot of trouble.

Oh, we got plenty of time.

- Just trust me. - I will.

Me, too.

It's 10:00, Milwaukee.

Do you know where your children are?

You know, Richie, I've liked you

ever since I saw you shift gears in high school.

But I never dreamt you were such a tiger.

Mmm... Lori Beth... Lori... L.B...

I have to ask you something.

Anything, tiger.

What happens if I'm here after 10:00?

- Why? - Oh, nothing.

I just noticed that the announcer said that it's 10:00.

That's nice.

It's 10:00.

Mm! 10:00!

10:00! It's 10:00!

How could you do this to me?

What? I haven't done anything yet.

It's past 10:00!

Oh, well, look, I think

you're getting worried over nothing.

So I'm a few minutes late. What can they do to us?

Expel us!

Expel? No, no, they wouldn't do that.

- Yes, they would! - They would?!

Oh, man!

It's happening again.

Why me? Why Richie Cunningham?

I'm a good student, I work hard.

I-I'm kind to animals.

- Are you through? - Yes!

- Oh, 10:00! 10:00! - I'm sorry.

I'll have to call you tomorrow.

You better leave.

No! You can't leave.

My cologne, right?

No!

No, you can't leave because of housemother Dunbar.

She locks the door at 10:00 sharp.

The doors are locked.

You're stuck in here till 5:00 tomorrow.

Oh, nuts.

No, you don't understand.

We can't take any chances with Mrs. Dunbar.

She's new and she's really tough.

She was in World War ll.

As a nurse?

No, a tank.

After she locks up, she runs a bed check.

The beds are still here.

How long do we have?

Oh, not that long.

If she starts on the first floor, maybe a half an hour.

Half an hour!

But if she starts up here, it could be two seconds.

She's early!

We're gonna be expelled.

Mmm! What are you doing?

I'm not getting kicked out for just talking.

Mm! Do something!

Under the bed! Uh, in the closet!

All right, all right. Stay calm.

Keep a cool head.

I'm jumping out the window!

Can't jump, it's stuck.

- Oh, in-in here. - Right.

- And try not to wrinkle anything. - All right.

Lori Beth, open up!

It's me, Christy!

- Thank heavens you're alone... - Leona's still sick.

So this is where you want me to hide.

I tell you, very good choice.

The more, the merrier.

Hey, don't I know you?

I don't know, I... fixed my hair and my tooth...

No, no, no, no, no, the "liberry."

So where's, uh... Uh-huh.

Peek-a-boo.

Get out here.

Oh, hi.

You have one, too, and they know each other?

Fonz, this is, this is Lori Beth, here.

I'm sorry we didn't meet before 10:00.

Hey, that's all right.

The Fonz don't turn into no pumpkin.

Hey, I gotta tell you something, Rich.

I want to introduce you to Christy Riggenheimer.

This is a very cool chick.

The things that she did to me

made me feel good all over!

Oh, Fonz, Fonz...

Fonz, I don't think Lori Beth

really wants to hear about that.

Oh, yeah, before I knew what was happening...

- Fonz! - Before I knew what was happening,

I was applying for my own "liberry" card

and checking out my very first book.

Oh... I thought you were gonna say, uh...

something else. I...

Oh, I'll tell you something, Rich.

You should've heard what she said to me.

She is the first chick...

I'm talking the first chick...

That ever said

that I stimulated her intellectually.

And now I got my own "liberry" card.

- Whoa. - Wait...

y-you went to the library all those years,

and-and you never got a card?

No, I never thought

they'd give it to a guy like me.

But do you know there's a card for everybody?

That's right.

Everybody is allowed to read.

Who would've thought such a thing?

Richie, I hate to alarm you,

but I think I'm gonna be hysterical.

All right, all right, don't worry.

If anybody can get us out of this, it's Fonzie.

Correctamundo.

All right, school's out, time for action.

The window.

Oh, you're not gonna be able to open that.

It's painted shut.

Ye of little faith.

Wait... that's a long way down there.

What do you think?

Well, I think we could make it,

if you want to spend the next six years in plaster pants.

- Oh, no, no... - No.

Hey, hey, Fonz.

- Yeah? - Fonz, I got an idea.

We could take the mattresses, right, throw 'em out the window

and use those to break our fall.

Or-or, better yet, we could take the sheets, see?

We could, we could rip 'em up.

We could tie 'em together,

- make a rope and climb down. - Yeah. -Yeah!

Boy, I'm really starting to think now, Fonz.

- Uh, Rich? - Hmm?

Have you no respect for state property?

Well, Fonzie, you have to do something.

Right! Let's party.

Party?! Fonz, if you get caught,

you're just gonna get yelled at.

The three of us could be expelled.

- My father'll kill me. - Expelled.

- You know what that would be, Fonz? - Hey, hey, hey.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Freshmen, ugh...

They're not gonna expel you.

They might suspend you for about a year.

Oh... oh, what a relief.

Fonz, we gotta do something.

All right, think a bit.

All right.

- All right, here's a plan. - What?

Uh... if we can get down to the first floor,

we could probably crawl out

a-a supply room window or something.

- Couldn't we? - Yeah, great!

Christy and I'll run down and check it out!

Okay, hurry.

We don't have too much time till bed check.

You're an absolute genius.

Takes me a while, but, uh... I come through.

Einstein, huh?

Well, listen, tell me, Albert,

how do you figure we're gonna get out that door,

down the stairs and through the window

without getting nailed?

All right, all right, just a second.

Albert's really cooking now.

Hey, uh, try again.

Oh, Fonz, Fonz, these are nice.

Quality merchandise.

Here, you take first pick.

I want to tell you something...

The judge's decision is final,

'cause the Fonz don't wear dresses.

Fonz, look, lo-lot-lots of men wear dresses.

Well, they do.

Uh... Tony Curtis.

And Jack Lemmon.

Uncle Milty!

Davy Crockett never wore a dress.

What's he got to do with it?

Everything.

When Davy Crockett was trapped inside the Alamo,

he could've worn a dress to escape,

but he didn't, oh, no.

Not the King of the Wild Frontier.

He stuck it out and so will the Fonz.

But Davy Crockett died at the Alamo.

Good point.

Give that nightie.

Just level with me, Rich.

Am I little lopsided?

No.

I... I can't wait...

I can't wait to tell Ralph and Potsie

- that the Fonz... - Hey!

I want to tell you something.

If you tell those two turnips,

if you tell anybody...

How can I be tough wearing a nightie?

Yeah... You don't have to worry, Fonz.

Your secret's safe with me.

Mrs. Dunbar! Bed check time!

Bed check, Fonz!

Will you calm down?

All right, look.

If we get past her,

we are home safe, all right?

- Right. - Cool it.

Just one second, Mrs. Dunbar.

We're-we're not decent.

Oh! Oh...

- Very good idea, Fonz. - Yeah, now what do we do?

Uh, hey. Get under the covers.

Yeah. That's my bed.

All right, it's yours.

I want to tell you something, this is very exciting.

The lights, the lights!

Get the ligh... what is this?

What's going on in there?

You can come in now, Mrs. Dunbar.

Took so long I was beginning to think

you might have a man in here.

That ain't funny.

All righty, now, I understand one of you girls is sick.

Aaayh...

What's the big idea, Leona?

Trying to infect the whole dorm?

- Let's have a look-see. - No, no!

Come on, girls, there's a panty raid!

Panty raid!

Don't panic, girls.

Sergeant Dunbar, reporting for duty!

All right, just calm down.

- Jump? - Jump!

Panty raid!

Yeah.

You just don't let 'em know it is us.

Hi, girls.

Been waiting for us, huh, girls?

Give us your underwear!

This is a panty raid!

Oh, don't hurt us, you guys!

Don't worry.

Don't worry, sweetheart.

We won't hurt you.

Okay, girls, where do you keep your valuables?

Oh!

Potsie, look at those girls.

Is this a dorm or a kennel?

You know, Ralph,

the one with the freckles is cute.

But... but the other one looks like Fonzie.

Potsie, look!

Boy, she could be Fonzie's sister.

Look... don't you mention this to anybody,

or you'll never eat solid food again, dig?

- Right. - Uh-huh.

I'm just glad you guys

showed up, that's all.

Hey, it's Rich, too!

- Boy, did we pick the wrong room. - Yeah.

All we're gonna come back with is two pairs of jockey shorts.

All right, let's go.

- Out the window. - Aw, come on, Fonz.

- Let us stay, please, come on. - Wait, aw, come on, Fonz.

This is my first panty raid!

I been waiting for this moment my whole life, Fonz.

Anything'll do.

A half-slip, a training bra, even.

All right, you're breaking my heart.

Make it fast.

- Thanks, man. - Aw, thanks, Fonz!

Aha!

I caught you red-handed, you panty raiders!

- Duck, Malph! - Oh, oh, ow!

- Ow! - You animal!

All right, out the window, Malph! Go!

- Out! Out! And don't try to... - Yes, yes, we're going! I'm g...

- Ow! Ow! Ow! - Okay, Red.

You... charge!

Run!

- Tomorrow night. - Yeah!

Out! Out!

See you then!

All right.

Out... you leather-jacketed hoodlum.

Now, is that any way to talk, gorgeous?

Don't give me any of your sweet talk, Slick.

I bid you all a fond adieu.

- Mother Dunbar? - Mother Dunbar?

Come back, Slick.

Hey, Cunningham.

Oh, hi, Fonz.

So... how was, uh, Homecoming?

Oh, great.

Lori Beth thinks I'm very mature for a freshman.

That's 'cause she never saw you in a nightie.

Oh, right.

I'm starting to get the hang of this-this college stuff.

I knew you would.

Well, here's the camera, Rich.

They're ready now.

More movies?

I'm getting out of here real quick.

Hey, you know what I think I'm gonna do?

I think I'm gonna put my "liberry" card to use.

Whoa...

We're all set whenever you are, Rich.

All right, uh... lights, Joan, lights.

Okay.

Ready... and... action!

Okay, good.

Oh, I got it, I got it. Pick it up.
