Leather Tuscadero!

Folks, folks, now, as you're driving home tonight,

I want you to keep one thing in mind:

Stay out of the trees.

Thank you. Good night.

Thank you very much.

San Francisco.

I can't believe it.

I am so excited.

Joanie, you better forget about going to San Francisco.

Mom and Dad just aren't going to let you go, because...

look, no matter how old you are,

you're still their little baby, you understand?

Yeah, I know, I know.

Hey, what's the frown on the face of a rising star?

It's Mom and Dad.

They probably won't let me go to San Francisco.

Okay, the best way to go on this tour is

to get your family's blessing, right?

Right.

Well, she's never going to get my parents' blessing.

Have you gone wacko, Fonz?

Oh... No, you-you don't go wacko.

Good idea.

What's your plan?

My plan is that you invite your parents

right here to Arnold's,

so they can witness how fabamundo you are.

Right.

And once they see how good I am,

then I tell 'em about San Francisco.

What can they say?

What can they say? "Go to your room!"

Then they're gonna nail the door shut.

Here to introduce Leather Tuscadero

on her last night at Arnold's

is Arthur Fonzarelli!

All right, listen, can I have your attention, please, huh?

Hey, give me... give me a drum roll.

Give me a drum roll.

I love that.

All right, listen, uh, last night,

something very thrilling happened here,

and everybody is talking about it.

I didn't tell anybody, Fonz!

I am not talking about you and me, Daphne.

Sit down.

I am talking about Leather and the Suedes.

Yeah, last night, they opened here,

and they are the talk of the town.

And it is my distinct pleasure to introduce once again

that group that I launched on their merry career to stardom,

Leather and the Suedes.

Well, this is our last night here at Arnold's.

We're moving on to bigger things.

Okay, now, we're gonna start this show

with a really great rocker, "Devil Gate Drive."

Y'all want to go down to Devil Gate Drive?

- Yeah! - Well, come on!

Welcome to Arnold's.

One, two... a-one, two, three!

Leather will be out in a minute.

Oh!

Oh, how did you like it? ♪ Wah-ooh, wop, wop... ♪

- Ah... - Wasn't that terrific, Dad?

- Yeah. - Oh, dear, I-I liked every number.

- Oh. - You were so good!

Aw, you were better than good.

You were fan... tastic!

- Oh. - Oh, we're so proud of you!

Yeah, and Arnold's can be just the start.

Sure, they could play dances, wedding receptions.

Oh, Howard, they could play at the annual

Leopard Lodge Poo Pah Doo Dah.

- Oh! - Leather, Leather, over here.

I'll be right back.

- Oh...! - Leather, Leather, meet my mom and dad.

Mom and Dad, this is Leather.

Hi, folks. -HOWARD: Hello.

- How you doing? - Hello, Leather.

Oh, leather! I get it.

You wear leather outfits.

Well, why else do you think

they would call her Leather, sweetheart?

I was afraid to ask.

You were just wonderful.

We were just discussing how great you all sang.

Oh, thanks a lot.

We wouldn't have a group without Joanie.

- Oh... - You'll be so successful.

Do you have a wedding next weekend?

- I love weddings. - Oh.

No, no weddings.

This is big stuff. It's all happening so fast.

We have a tour with Fabian.

First, San Francisco, L.A., Dallas...

Oh, it's too bad Joanie will miss it.

Oh, she's not gonna miss it.

- She's one of us now. - Yeah.

She is also one of us.

And the only place Joanie is going is home to bed.

Now you get your coat,

and we'll wait for you out in the car.

Come on, Marion.

Dear, try to hurry.

Your father gets mad if he has to wait.

♪ Ah-bop! ♪

Marion!

You see? See?

You know, he-he's just overreacting.

I'm going home and pack.

Well, it's up to you, but...

your mother and your father... Are you really sure?

Oh, sure, I'm sure. I'm positive.

I guess.

Young lady, you're going to finish school,

and then you can plan your life.

Look, sweetheart, Joanie,

why can't you be like Richie, huh?

I mean, he could have had a movie career,

and he stayed in school.

Dad, please don't use me as an example. I'm neutral.

Aw, this is ridiculous!

I don't even know why we're discussing it.

Well, because open debate

is one of civilization's greatest assets.

Now-now, the Greeks, for example...

They started it with the open forum,

and-and they'd discuss...

You know, sometimes I'm sorry I ever sent you to college!

Oh, I had such a nice wedding planned.

We were going to rent the Orchid Room, but...

What are you talking about weddings for?

She hasn't even gone to college yet.

Stop it! Everyone, just stop it

with the Orchid Room and the wedding and school!

Everybody is living my life but me.

Are you ever gonna let me plan my own life?

I'm not trying to plan her life.

Just her adolescence.

Well, that's dumb.

What do you want to do that for?

No, no, wait, wait, listen, don't-don't hang up!

What'd you hang up for?

I told you not to hang up!

Well, who was that, dear?

It was Joanie, and-and she's...

Well, she must have gotten up with the birds.

Well, uh, she did...

Listen, do you think I was too hard on her last night?

Dad, I...

No, she probably had something important to do.

She did. She's running away from home.

Don't worry.

She's gonna turn up.

I looked everywhere for her.

Bus station, I-I checked the train station, even the airport.

Went to the Pizza Bowl.

Joanie doesn't go to the Pizza Bowl.

Yeah, I know, but I was starving.

Yeah.

Al, Al, if you were 15, where would you run away to?

Rome.

Oh. Rome?

Yeah. I've always wanted to see St. Peter's Square.

Oh.

I'd be standing there.

The Pope would come out on the balcony.

- I'd give him a little wave. - Yeah.

He'd wave back.

- But I... - Al, Al, somehow I don't think

Joanie is waving at the Pope.

All right, I'm going out and look for her some more.

- Okay. - Now, look, don't be sad.

You want to know sad?

Did I ever tell you about Rosa Colletti?

- Oh, yeah, Al, you did. - Oh.

Uh, say, maybe you could find Joanie in the all-night movie.

- That's a good idea. - Yeah.

I hope it's one of those 3-D movies.

She'll never recognize me in those glasses.

Oh, right, right. Thanks, Al.

Okay.

- Oh, hi. -RALPH: Hi, Al. - Hey, Al.

Ralph, Potsie, what took guys so long?

All right, all right, forget it. Just give me the scoop.

Was she at the Piccalo's?

They haven't seen her all day, Rich.

Boy, those Piccalo sisters are one lusty bunch.

The minute I walked in the door,

there were lips all over my face.

The big sister, Olive, got me.

It was terrible!

What are you talking about, Pots?

I had to pull you away from her.

I couldn't break the suction.

How can you guys talk about the Piccalos

when my sister is out on the streets, who knows where?

Did you find Joanie?

Were you able to locate her?

No, I didn't find her.

But you just calm yourself, all right?

We're not dealing with a nutso kid, it's your sister.

It's my sister who ran away.

I think that's kind of nutso.

Hey, guys, anything new?

No, no, not a word.

I don't know where she is. I...

I hate to even try and guess.

Hey, you're really busted up about this, huh?

Yeah, I'm busted up!

It's my kid sister!

And it's not just me, it's my parents.

Dad is going crazy.

Mom's been crying all day.

Leather, did she say anything at all to you?

Well, why would she say anything to me?

Yeah, right.

I don't know where she is, she's probably...

probably cold, probably starving to death.

Leather, how is she eating?

Well, she's not starving, she just had...

Where is she?

Okay.

She's in my hotel room.

Your ho... She's in her... Are you crazy?

Now, Rich... I'll handle this.

Are you crazy?

She's in your hotel room.

You know, if you were a guy,

I'd rattle your teeth until they were frazzled.

All right Fonz, let's just go find her, all right?

Hold it, hold it.

Look, if you drag her back home she's only gonna run away again.

I know runaways, I've been with them for three years.

Yeah, she's got a good point there, Rich.

Good point? Good point? I don't need good points.

I gotta talk to Joanie.

- I'll talk to her. - What are you gonna tell her?

- I don't know yet. - Well, that's not good enough.

Okay.

I'll bring her back here.

That's good enough.

Finally, we got something that's good enough...

All right, all right, calm yourself.

Unplug yourself, will you, Rich?

Come on. Come on.

Well, here she is.

I can't guarantee she'll stay.

Well, you... you got her here, and that's the important thing.

She's a good kid, I like her.

Well, I'll see you, Joanie.

Yeah, see you.

Hey, don't worry.

You're gonna make it someday.

See you, Leather, thanks.

Hey, Leather, hold it.

I know you're gonna be terrifioso on the road.

Thanks, Fonz.

Thanks, Milwaukee.

Joanie... I want to have a talk with you.

I'm not gonna listen to you, I am big enough to be on my own.

Oh, yeah, you're big enough to be on your own,

I'm gonna tell you something, while you were out on your own,

- I was in here just sweating... - All right, Rich,

Richard, hold it, hold it.

Now...

I never snowed you before, I ain't going to snow you now.

Do you want to listen? 'Cause I don't want to waste my time.

Oh, it'll waste my time, but I'll listen.

Heyyy.

I hear a lot of jabbering about, uh,

how you're all grown up and everything, you know?

Well you're not.

Not yet.

You're 15 going on 20.

Well, a person has to grow up sometime.

Oh, you hear that Fonz?

A person's got to grow up sometime.

A person's got to grow up sometime.

Hey, Richie, Richie, Richie, Richie, Richie...

Richie...

That's right, a person's gotta grow up sometime,

but not all in one day, don't rush it.

Joanie, don't make the same mistake I made.

You made a mistake?

The mistake I made was not my fault.

Joanie, I was never 15 years old.

I grew up like that.

I went from six years old to 18 years old.

Well, you did all right.

That's right, I did all right,

but I missed out on a on lot of good stuff along the way.

I went from hugging my teddy bear

to hugging the Hooper triplets.

What I'm talking about here is memories.

Now, this might sound a little corny.

- I don't want any wisecracks. - All right.

One day you're gonna look back on your life

and you're gonna remember great things.

See, the one thing that nobody can take away from you

is your memory.

Teenage memories... yeah,

you got homecoming dances,

you got uh, uh, uh, hay rides.

You got dates...

uh, skipping around maypoles.

Skipping around maypoles?

We wouldn't do that,

but it's something that Joanie would like.

But I don't like being 15.

It's weird, you know...

I feel grown-up, but nobody treats me like one.

It hurts.

Yeah.

That's what they call growing pains.

Every age got growing pains.

That's the way of the world.

But there's a lot of terrific stuff mixed in there, too.

Now, all I'm telling you is don't rush it.

You got to live life one moment at a time.

Because once... once time goes by,

it never comes back again.

Joanie, just think about it.

You're giving up your one shot at being 15 years old.

And I want to tell you something I never told nobody before.

I would have loved to have your home

and your family.

And, Shortcake,

I would have loved to have been 15.

My talk's over.

It's up to you.

Carry on, Red.

Good night.

Good luck.

Are you crazy, you little twerp?

Don't "little twerp" me.

You know what Leather did?

She fired me.

She said she didn't want to break up any families.

Oh... well, that... that's tough, but believe me,

it's for your own good.

Aw, who says?

Well, didn't you hear what Fonzie said?

Didn't that make any sense to you?

Yeah, but that's not why I'm running.

Wha... Are you telling me you're gonna run again?

Yeah, I'll get another job,

and you want to know why I'm leaving?

- Yes, I do. - You really want to know?

- I said I did. - You're the reason.

Me?

Yeah.

When I was in the hotel room, I had a lot of time to think.

And I figured out you're the real reason I'm running, Rich.

Me?

Yeah, you.

Rich...

do you know hard it is being your kid sister?

Oh, oh, look,

I yelled at you, I-I'm sorry, that was really dumb,

but that's no reason for you to run away now...

No, it's not the yelling.

It's growing up after you.

I'm not Joanie.

I'm always Richie's sister.

Like in school... you always got good marks,

and they wonder why Richie's sister doesn't.

And they say how well-behaved you are.

And wonder why Richie's sister isn't.

It's always "Richie's sister" this

and "Richie's sister" that... I want to be Joanie.

Well, what do you want me to do, rob a bank or something?

No... then I'll be the bank robber's sister.

Joanie... I'm your brother.

And you're not gonna be able to change that.

Yeah, I know.

I've been told.

50 times a day.

Well, don't listen to 'em! They're dumb.

But I still want to be Joanie Cunningham.

Well, you are Joanie.

You're a fun person.

Your grades aren't that bad, and, and, and...

y-you do, uh, excellent cartwheels.

And I'm cute.

And you're a little conceited,

but that's normal.

Joanie... you're you.

And in time, people are gonna know that.

You think I should go home?

Well, see, I-I don't think you ever...

wanted to leave in the first place.

Yes, I...

Well, no.

Oh, I don't know.

Look, look, Joanie, you had some problems.

Now, I wasn't even aware of them.

But I am now, and I'm gonna try and help you.

You gonna fail some courses?

Well, uh, no, I'll have to find another way,

but I'm still gonna help you.

And-and other people will help you, too.

Then you think I should go home?

Yes. Not for me.

Not even for Mom and Dad.

But because you want to.

You can't solve your problems by running away from life.

And I want you to think about what Fonzie said, because, uh,

you don't see too many 40-year-old people

skipping around the maypole.

Yeah, you're right.

You know... this year is the sock hop.

And, uh, and John Collins, he asked me to the junior prom.

- Oh? - And I'm a cheerleader

with the pom-poms out on the field.

And John Collins, he is so cute.

He has blond hair and blue eyes,

and he's such a hunk. I mean...

Yeah... it-it is fun being 15.

Yeah, it is.

I really liked it.

Of course, you're gonna be much better at being 15 than I was.

Yeah.

Good-bye, fame.

Hello, boring little room.

- That's the way to talk. - Yeah.

Okay, I'm gonna go get my coat, - all right?

Yeah.

Where are they?

It's been over a half hour since Richie called.

I know why she ran away.

It's me.

I'm always correcting her.

I want a perfect daughter.

I must be a lunatic.

Aw, sweetheart, it's not your fault, it's mine.

I'm the one that's always yelling at her.

- "Go to your room, go to your room." - Oh...

Where have you been?

How could you do such a stupid thing!

You had your poor father worried sick!

Me?! What about you?

Look at your poor mother!

She hasn't slept, she hasn't eaten.

Well, they're glad you're home, Sis.

Yeah, I can see that.

Have you eaten?

Yes, Mom.

Are you all right?

I'm fine, Dad.

Oh, don't you ever go away like that, darling.

Joanie... We're so glad you're home.

And, dear...

now, if you ever have a problem, don't run away.

No.

Boy, that was a short talk.
