Potsie, five times is enough.

Guys, remember Pinky Tuscadero?

Oh, boy, do we.

Sure, it's hard to forget a girl dressed in pink with a...

Listen, listen, listen, listen.

I just met her sister Leather outside.

She just got into town.

Leather...

What's she like?

Well, she seems really cool.

She's about 18, she has brown hair, and she's...

Over here, Leather.

Oh, there she is now.

Oh, hey, she is cool.

Hubba, hubba, hubba.

Hi, Joanie. What's shaking?

Pow.

Well, Joanie, aren't you going to introduce us?

Oh, sure. Leather, this is Ralph Malph.

Pow.

Charmed.

And, uh, this is Potsie Weber.

Pow.

Likewise, I'm sure.

And this is my brother Richie.

Pow.

Howdy, pard.

- What you doing in these parts? - Cute.

Oh, thank you.

No, seriously, um...

what are you doing in town?

Well, we're looking for a job.

I mean, when I was at school, I got together

with a couple of friends of mine,

and we formed a band, Leather and the Suedes.

Leather and the Suedes.

Very catchy.

So you're looking for work, huh?

No sweat, no sweat.

Old Ralphie here will get you a job right at Arnold's.

They can play at Friday night's Freshmen Come to Arnold's Fest.

Uh, excuse me, Leather.

See, Old... Old Ralphie here is joshing.

- I am? - Yeah, he's joshing, 'cause he knows

that, uh, Arnold has a perfectly good in-house band

that really needs the money.

- Oh, yeah. - Oh...

Well, maybe we could work something out.

Work something out?

Look, Leather, uh, our band could back you up.

You know, I can doo-wop.

♪ Doo-wop, doo-wop... ♪

Thanks, Joanie, but I can barely afford the ones I have.

Oh, all right, I'll see you later.

What if I just do the "doos" for half price?

♪ Doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, do... ♪

Not bad, but, um...

Hey, I'm better in front of a live audience.

♪ Doo, wop-wop, wah, doo wop... ♪

Bertie, Gertie, I'll be with you in a minute.

Bertie and Gertie!

Oh, uh, those are your doo-wop girls?

Yeah.

Oh, would you like to sit down?

- I'll buy you a malt. - All right.

Pots, what do you think?

- Bertie and Gertie? - Yeah.

- I love rhyming girls. - Yeah.

I'm ready for action, Pots.

I've got my ventriloquist dummy in the car.

Hey, Malph, was that really a dummy in your car?

Yeah. Why?

I thought it was a kid.

With a hinged jaw and a top hat?

But it looked so real.

I'm telling you, Mrs. C., this is fabamundo.

My favorite, you know?

Veggie cacciatore.

- Hi, gang. - Hey, Rich.

Oh, Richard... you're late.

I'm sorry I'm late.

Oh, Howard, put that back, dear.

- Richard's here now. - Oh.

Oh, thanks.

Fonz, guess who I met down at Arnold's today?

The Fonz does not play guessing games while chewing.

You remember Pinky Tuscadero?

You know, dressed in the pink with the...

Well, I just met her kid sister, Leather.

A bum.

Leather Tuscadero is worse than a bum.

A thief.

A thief?!

Correctamundo.

Three years ago, she glommed my wallet.

Glommed?!

Not only did she take my wallet...

Worse... she lifted my comb.

And she's still around to talk about it?

The Fonz is merciful.

Look, all I know is,

the girl I met at Arnold's was very, very nice.

Oh, yeah, nice, nice.

Did Miss Nice tell you she was just sprung from reform school?

But she seems so sincere now.

You know, she-she's getting a-a rock group together.

Are those instruments stolen or rented, huh?

Oh.

Look, I heard a demo record, and she's very good.

She is.

As a matter of fact, Fonz, she's, uh...

she's so terrific, that...

Well, I was sort of thinking that...

maybe you could talk to Al, and-and...

get her a job at Arnold's?

Forget it.

Fonz, listen to me.

She got into trouble, she paid her debt,

now all she wants is a fresh start.

Fonzie, a very brilliant man, Alexander Pope,

once said that "to err is human, to forgive is divine."

It's easy for him to say.

He probably never had his wallet glommed. Well, I did.

Mrs. C., I am filled with thanks for this dinner.

Well, I'm saying what Punchy Pilate said:

"I wash my hands of the whole thing."

Whoa!

All right, that's it.

I'm going to get them an audition myself.

I'm going to Arnold's tomorrow morning.

I'm just going to talk to Al.

Picture this, Al.

The place is packed.

An announcer's voice comes on and says,

"Al Delvecchio presents,

Leather and the Suedes!"

There's a drum roll.

A spotlight!

And there, on stage,

three girls dressed in tight leather outfits.

The crowd goes wild!

Tight leather outfits?

Oh, not too tight.

Oh, good.

It's not me. It's my brother, the priest.

Yeah, I understand, yeah.

But, Rich, where did these girls come from?

Where have they ever played before?

Where have they played?

That's a fair question.

Uh... they, uh...

kind... they kind of played for the state.

State?

- Yeah. - The Governor's Ball, the State Fair!

Well... well, no, not exactly.

They, uh...

Th-They played at reform school.

- Aw, that's nice. - Yeah.

Reform schools.

You know, we can't do enough to help these kids go straight.

That's true. That's...

Al, I-I got to level with you.

The girls, they...

they made a mistake, they... they got caught,

and they were living at the reform school at the time.

Oh, no... No ex-reform schools girl play at my place!

Al!

- No. Uh-uh. - Al...

Look, if-if you don't hire these girls...

you're not going to be able to sleep nights.

I always sleep nights. I'm a bachelor.

There's nothing else to do.

Oh, Al, come on.

- No. - You know something? Just moments ago,

a great American said, "Oh, poor kids.

Can't do enough to help 'em."

You want to know something?

Right now, I'm ashamed of that American!

Rich... Richie...

It's me, the American.

The least you can do is-is hear 'em play.

All right, I'll hear 'em play.

It's my first audition.

Oh, thanks, Al. All right, all right,

I'm going to have 'em here tomorrow morning.

You're gonna love 'em, Al.

Hey, listen, you're a great guy... no, wait...

You are a great American!

A great American.

Alfredo Delvecchio.

Hey, Fonz.

Glad you could make it for Leather's audition.

She better be good.

He's so glad to see me.

You better get ready.

How's Pinky?

She's cool.

So you got sprung, huh?

I did my time.

What's this music con you're into?

It ain't no con.

Ah, why bother?

You won't listen.

Hey, I got ears. Try me.

Listen, Fonz, things are different now.

I used to steal 'cause that was all I knew how to do.

While I was in reform school, I learned how to sing,

so I don't have to steal anymore.

This is what I do now.

Well, let's listen to this great talent

that's put you on the road to righteousness.

You got it.

Well, three girls, tight outfits, great start.

Yeah, they might even be able to sing.

A joke, a joke.

I still got it.

Great! Great!

- Great! - Huh?

Great.

All right, Al?

Al, what do you say, huh?

Bravissimo! They're great!

They get the job starting tonight.

All right, girls. That's enough. Now get going.

- Go get your costumes. - Okay.

Wait a minute, girls,

we'll give you a ride in the car.

- All right. - Yeah, great.

Can I sit next to the kid with the top hat?

Sure.

She's yours, Potsie.

Huh? Well, now, what did I tell you?

Fonz, i-isn't she good? What do you say?

Don't you get yourself excited.

Just 'cause she's doing music don't mean she went straight.

I heard Al Capone was an accomplished harmonica player.

Hey, Al, Al, did you hire the girls yet?

Yeah, they're great.

Oh, boy, are you in trouble.

Trouble? Now wait a minute, I got nothing in writing.

No, no, don't panic, Al.

Wh-What's the trouble?

Well, I heard through the grapevine that Officer Kirk

is gonna close down Al's place if he hires any, uh, ex-cons.

All right, that's it.

Forget it.

I knew it.

Let's just forget the whole thing.

Yeah, that-that's a good idea.

We should just forget it.

Hold it. Time out here. Hold it.

I don't want to hear any talking about throwing in the towel.

Fonz, Officer Kirk!

I'll take care of Officer Kirk, all right?

Leather and the Suedes are playing here Friday night

and that's final.

All right, out of my way, Delvecchio.

I gotta talk to these people.

Oh, come on, Officer Kirk.

Can't we discuss this over an Arnoldburger?

Making death threats, eh?

I'll get you for that, Delvecchio.

All right, now, hear this.

There's a decadent rock-and-roll group working here tonight.

We don't like undesirable people, do we?

They're very undesirable.

We don't like undesirables.

I'm a very unhappy man right now.

And when I'm unhappy, I like to write tickets.

Lots and lots of tickets.

How does that hit you?

Now, sound off after me.

Go home, jailbirds.

- Go home, jailbirds. - Come on. Let's hit it!

Go home, jailbirds.

- Go home, jailbirds! - What's going on here?

It's Kirk. He's making the kids do this.

Fonz, it's Leather. She won't go on.

- I can't hear you out there! - Go home, jailbirds!

Go home, jailbirds! Go home, jailbirds!

- Go home, jailbirds! Go home, jailbirds! - Let's hear it!

Why aren't you out there singing?

Why aren't you making with the golden tones?

Can't you hear those creeps out there yelling at us,

"Go home, jailbirds"?

I thought you said you could handle the cop!

I can, but I won't.

That'll solve your problem tonight.

What about tomorrow night? What about next week?

It's time for you to stand up for your rights, right now.

I have had enough hassles in my life... forget it.

Oh, well, I'm sorry. My mistake.

And I thought that there was some hope for you.

- You did? - I wouldn't be standing here

in the middle of the ladies' room talking to you if I didn't.

Are you gonna forget about the wallet?

Hey, like I always say,

to err is human, to forgive is divine.

Now, why don't you just go right out there

and sing me a song?

- Come on! Let's hit it! - Go home, jailbirds!

- Go home, jailbirds! - Can't you hear

what that cop is doing out there?

I'm not ready for that yet.

Whoa.

Then you're a loser.

Listen, Mr. Magic, I'm not you.

I can't control things with a finger snap.

Hey, that didn't come to me right away.

It took time, at least... two nights.

Well, things are different for me.

Good luck has always been kind of scarce.

Oh, yeah.

Well, look, don't give me that bit about, uh,

growing up in a slum.

'Cause that's an excuse.

I've been on my own since I was six.

Look at me. I didn't quit. I ain't a loser.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You ain't never been in the jug, either.

That's 'cause I was never stupid enough to steal.

Now, you got a choice.

You can go out there, make a fresh start.

Or you can stay in here and be a bathroom attendant.

It's not me, it's them.

They won't even give me the chance.

Well, then you got to win 'em over, don't you?

Like you won me over. And, believe me,

I am your toughest critic, Jack.

But, Fonz... I'm scared.

Leather, we all get scared.

You can handle it.

Yeah, they're gonna yell, but you can lick 'em.

You got talent.

You got... pizzazz.

Leather, Gertie quit!

She's not going out there!

Well, I can take her place.

Bertie can teach me the moves.

Oh, I can do it.

- Over here! - Thanks, Joanie.

Wait outside. I'll let you know.

Right. -KIRK: I can't hear you!

What about you, Bertie?

I'm sticking with you.

Whatever you want to do, I'm going with you.

- I'll wait outside. - Okay.

Go home, jailbirds!

So what's it gonna be?

You really think I got... pizzazz?

The Fonz knows what he's talking about.

You gonna be a singer, you gonna be a loser?

Singer.

I knew that!

I... I knew that.

I just want you to go out there now

and I want you to kill 'em, you understand?

- Fonz... - Yeah.

- Go home, jailbirds! - Thanks.

You bet.

Whoa!

Go home, jailbirds! Go home, jailbirds!

Pizzazz...

Go home, jailbirds!

- Go home, jailbirds...! - Let me hear you!

- Go home, jailbirds! - Uh, ladies and gentlemen!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for...

- uh, Leather and the Suedes! - Go home, jailbirds!

Go home, jailbirds!

Go home, jailbirds! Go home, jailbirds!

Go home, jailbirds!

- What are you doing up here? - Hey, you got a Suede sister.

Isn't it great?

Go home, jailbirds!

Okay, now listen up, listen up.

Since it is the Fonz's task to bring joy and laughter

into everyone's heart,

especially the female gender,

I'm gonna make Leather and the Suedes very, very happy.

Fonz, you're talking about my sister.

Not that way, Rich.

Tell 'em, Chach.

Oh, well, do you see those two guys Fonzie was talking to?

Well, they're big booking agents

that he brought out from Chicago.

Oh, yeah? Y... Did they like us?

No. The liked the chicks a lot better.

Well, what does it mean?

- Tell 'em, Chach. - Oh, you chicks lucked out.

They're sending you on a cross-country tour

starting in San Francisco.

With Fabian.

- Fabian? -Fabian? - Hey. -Hey.

Hey, what about me?

I told you the news.

All right. One hug.

All right, girls... Come on, showtime.

Sing something to make 'em thirsty.

Oh... this is so exciting.

I'm off to San Francisco.

Joanie, you're not going anywhere.

Why not?

Well, because you're a kid.

- Kid? - Yeah.

Kid?

They've been telling me that all my life.

I'm big enough to get the offer, so I'm big enough to go.

Oh. Are you big enough to ask Mom and Dad?

Ask 'em? I'm not gonna ask 'em.

I'm gonna tell 'em.

This is my big chance.

I'm going to San Francisco whether they like it or not.

Even if I have to run away.

What? Run a... Hey, come back!
