Boy, I'm really rolling now. Go ahead.

- U.S.A. - Uh... Huh?

- Oh, uh, give it to me. Give it to me. - Dos Passos.

I thought he did Don Quixote.

- No, that was Cervantes. - Oh.

For Whom the Bell Tolls.

It tolls for me, Lori Beth.

Okay, Rich, this is it.

Your dream come true, buddy.

Hey, Al.

- Hi. Hi. Hi. - Al. -Hi, Al.

Okay, what are you going to have, huh? Richie?

Nothing for me, Al.

Me, either.

Oh, me, either.

Me, either.

Three "me, eithers" and one "nothing for me, Al."

Okay, nobody eats, huh?

And I'm trying to run a business.

So, you guys are going to have a party, huh?

A party? It's not just a party.

It's a party party!

The biggest!

It's a Potsie and Ralph extravaganza!

It's a "welcome Hawaii to the statehood" party.

We sent invitations all over campus, Rich.

- Yeah. - Yeah, but I already gave a Hawaii party.

Who cares? It'll bring chicks to the apartment.

Our own apartment, wall-to-wall couches.

Lots of making out.

Oh.

Well, that sounds, uh, kind of Hawaiian.

Yeah.

What do you think, Lori Beth?

Uh, well, I guess it's better than us shooting baskets.

Yeah.

Well, I-I like to shoot baskets.

You know, she-she rebounds for me.

I'm getting pretty good.

Yeah.

Listen, I got to go to the sorority house.

- All right. - Um, I've got kitchen duty.

- All right. - Okay. -See you later.

- Bye-bye. - See you, Lori Beth. -Mmm.

See you, Sizzle Lips.

I really like college life.

I'm thinking about dropping journalism,

and just majoring in lips.

By the way, Sizzle Lips, can we borrow a couple of bucks?

What for?

For refreshments.

Dip doesn't grow on trees, you know.

- I still got it. - You do.

Hi. What's so funny? Did I miss something?

You sure did. I told another side splitter.

Oh, good. I didn't miss anything.

Rich, Mom wants you to bring home a loaf of rye bread.

Oh, all right. Uh, with or without seeds?

Seeds? We're going to eat it, not plant it.

I've still got it.

Hey, Fonzie!

Good seeing you, Fonz.

All right, gentlemen.

All right, introduce yourselves to Blossom here.

Hi.

She's a bunny at Happy Harry's Hutch.

Well, I can certainly see why Harry's happy.

A bunny?

I thought she was a shapely Q-tip.

That's it, that's it.

Put your eyes back in your sockets, all right?

I got a message from your mother.

She wants you to come home with a... a loaf of rye bread.

Fonz, this is your lucky day.

Because this Saturday, we are having a blast at our apartment.

It's our "welcome Hawaii to statehood" party.

And you and your friend are invited.

- Saturday, huh? - Yeah.

Well, I'll tell you something, gentlemen.

I'm very sorry I can't make it.

Saturday, I'm taking Blossom to dinner.

I want to see just about how much bunny she really is.

Order her a salad.

Come on, Fonz. Our party's going to be better.

It's a college party.

- A college party? Are you kidding? - College?

Oh, I just love intellectual men.

Oh, please, Fonz, let's go.

Well, I'll tell you something. I...

We're going.

All right, all right.

You know, it's a come-as-you-are...

or less, party.

You're all set.

- Hey, uh, Ralph, Ralph. - She's all set.

Yeah, right. Uh, stop panting, will you?

Because you're going to wilt her ears from there.

Listen, why don't we hop over to my place? You get it?

Hop over to my place? Hop over... Whoa!

Come on, Pots, let's get over to the fraternity house.

- All right. Bye, Rich. - See you.

We got to borrow some things for the party.

Richie, Richie, guess what.

- What? - Guess who asked me out.

- Who? - David O'Dooley.

Oh.

He's a senior,

and, uh, he's an editor for the high school paper.

He's such a hunk.

Oh.

Yeah, well, that's-that's terrific.

He's got a car and everything.

- A car? - Yeah.

This is going to be a car date?

Well, I don't know.

Dad's not going to be thrilled about that.

- You know how protective he is. - Oh.

He's no problem. I-I'll think of something.

You what?!

Definitely not!

You are too young to car-date.

But Richie was younger than me when you let him go.

Tell him, Mom. Get up and tell him.

Oh... yes, he was younger.

Well, they've got you there, Dad.

Well, that's different.

I mean, Richard is a-a-a... a boy.

Oh, what's that got to do with it?

Yes, dear, she's right.

What has that got to do with it?

- Marion. - Well... Get over here.

Didn't you have a talk with her about that?

Oh, that.

Well, I told her everything.

Everything?

Well, everything I could remember.

That settles it.

You are absolutely not going.

I will not have a daughter of mine

- out car-dating with some... gigolo! - Oh.

Well, Dad, David's not a gigolo.

Uh, he's a senior.

Yes. And Joanie says he is a hunk.

Mm-hmm.

A hunk?

Oh, Howard, he sounds like a very nice boy.

A hunk?

And I wasn't any older than Joanie

when you and I used to, you know, spoon.

You were a hunk.

Well, you two talk this out.

I got to cram for an exam.

This isn't fair.

I mean, you let Richie go, but you won't let me.

Now, when I was 14, you said I was too young.

When I was a freshman, you said, "Wait until next year."

Well, it's next year, and you still won't let me go.

Dad, don't you trust me?

Of course I trust you.

Okay, you can go.

But I want to meet this young man first.

Is that fair enough?

- Yeah, you can meet him. - Okay.

Thanks, Dad. Oh, wait until Jenny Piccalo hears about this.

No, I don't know where we're going, Jenny.

I was so excited, I forgot to ask.

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, oh, uh, he's here. I got to hang up. Bye.

Mom, Mom, he's here. He's here. He's here.

- Oh, oh, I'm so excited. - Oh, no. Wait. Here. Here.

- Now, don't... don't act so excited. - Okay.

Try to be a young lady.

Okay.

Oh, well... Hello, Chachi.

It's always nice to see that smile of yours.

Hi, Mrs. C. Here's the prune pitter you ordered.

The prunes will be here next week.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, yeah, the holiday season is coming up.

And this prune pitter makes the perfect gift.

Oh, I already have a gift for Howard.

Well... maybe Mother Kelp could use a couple of these.

Wah, wah, wah.

Thank you. I feel kind of... wah, wah, wah.

I've got a big date.

Oh, yeah? Who is he?

His name is David O'Dooley.

That wimp?

What does he got that I haven't got?

Well, he's older, he's taller, he's a senior, and he has a car.

Besides that.

Come on, Chachi.

I'll give you some milk and crackers.

I would give you some rye bread, but Richard forgot it.

Party time.

Hey. Hi, Joanie.

Uh,

well, I-I'm doubling with Fonz tonight.

He's taking Blossom.

Only one girl?

Must be a slow night.

Hey, that's great.

Drink your milk.

All right, let's get this show on the road.

Hi, Fonz.

Hey, Joanie, how come you look so... so tonight, huh?

Well, it's my first real date...

in a car... and everything.

All right, hold it!

Did you say car date?

Are you old enough?

Look, uh, there are some tricks of the trade

you got to know, see, and, uh,

I'm going to give them to you right now.

Oh, I already know all that stuff.

Jenny Piccalo has an old car seat on the porch.

No, no, no.

Joanie, that is offense.

I'm going to give you defense, all right?

Now, you drive, I'm Joanie.

I'm your date, all right?

- All right. - Here we go. -Oh.

Plant yourself, plant yourself.

- I'm driving. - You're driving. Here we are.

Hold it! Hold it!

We're playing parked here.

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I just... I always get a little carried away

when I drive these foreign couches.

All right, we're on the date, I'm Joanie.

Here we go. Let's try, uh...

Let's try, "It's, uh... it's getting very warm in here.

- I got to roll down the window" routine. - Uh-huh.

I want you to watch every move.

- All right. - All right.

It's really getting very warm in here.

Yeah.

Excuse me.

I have to change the station on the radio.

Hey, this is Wolfman Jack,

telling you not to touch that girl.

You understand?

That's called changing his tune.

All right.

All right, let's try, uh...

Let's try the old, um, stretch routine.

- Oh, right. Right. - Do you know it?

- I always had good luck with that one. - All right.

Watch every move.

Ah, memories.

Used to call me Stretch Cunningham.

Yeah, right, just... stretch, Cunningham.

- Mmm. - Ooh!

Oh, boy, that-that does bring back memories.

See, but that never stopped old Stretch Cunningham.

Oh, please, sweetheart.

I was only trying to give you a kiss.

All right, now, this is your part, Joanie, all right?

Not on a first date!

All right, you got everything there?

For every action a man's got,

- you got a counteraction, you dig it? - Why?

What?

Well, I mean, I've never kissed before.

I'm 15. I want a... I want a real kiss.

I want to use... both lips.

Oh, there he is.

Mom. Mom. Mom, do I look okay? Do I look okay?

- Hi. I'm David O'Dooley. - Hello.

Well, I'm Howard Cunningham, Joanie's father.

This is Joanie's mother.

Incredible. You look so young.

- Oh, thank you. - Thank you.

Uh, well, actually,

I am a few years younger than Mr. Cunningham...

Marion.

I'm, uh, Chachi Arcola.

A very good friend of Joanie's.

Who is on his way home.

Well, good night, everyone.

If you need me, you know where I'll be.

Well, we better leave, Joanie.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, we're going to a Hawaiian party.

- Oh. - Oh.

Hawaiian.

Well, aloha.

Say something in Hawaiian, Howard.

Be home early.

Well, have a good time.

- Yeah, bye. See you later. - Thanks. Nice meeting you.

- Bye. Good night. - And drive carefully, now.

- Yeah, we will. - We will.

Aw.

Well, there she goes.

Our little girl, on her very first car date.

Isn't it nice, Howard?

I mean, think back to how it was when you were young.

Stop that car!

Ralph, what's going on here? It's freezing.

A stroke of luck, Rich... The boiler busted.

There's no heat for the rest of the night.

Great party, huh?

Why did you open the window?

Rich, it's called ingenuity.

It's too cold for a "welcome to Hawaii" party,

so I made it a "welcome Alaska" party.

I seized the moment. You get it?

Yeah, I-I got it.

Your brain is frozen.

Right, right, right.

Take off your coats, everyone. Make yourself comfortable.

Alaska, Alaska.

Ralph.

Ralph, you're out of control.

Potsie, uh, are you gonna let him get away

with this Alaska bit?

Want some ice cream?

You guys make great roomies.

You know, the nights are six months long in Alaska.

Good thing I slept late this morning.

Oh, come on, guys, it's ridiculous.

At least close the icebox.

I'm freezing. Can I get inside your coat?

Oh, well, I, uh... Oh.

Alaska is... nice.

Oh, now I know why you go to college.

Yeah, so you can freeze.

- It is cold in here. - Hey, there's Richie.

Huh?

Oh.

Oh, uh... Oh, I got it.

- I got it. Oh, good. - What?

You see, we're, uh... we're playing charades here, uh...

"Embraceable You."

Yeah, oh, that's a good one.

What a great clue.

Yeah. Yeah, see, we're playing charades.

- Oh. - Hey, uh, Potsie.

Potsie, come on, there are little kids here.

Mm.

Uh... Potsie. Lori Beth.

Lori Beth, what are you doing? Come on.

I'm trying to keep warm.

Well, what do you think the light's for?

- Oh, good idea. - Uh... Uh, Potsie.

Potsie, come on, let's-let's play. Let's...

Let's do the next charade, okay? Come on, anything.

All right: lights, lips, action.

Oh.

- Joanie's here. - Joanie's here.

Fonz, uh, this is David O'Dooley.

- Hi. - Hey, hello, car date.

This here is, uh, Blossom.

She just got off work.

She's a bunny.

Outstanding.

What are we gonna do now, gang?

All right, let's dance.

You want to dance?

In this cold, we better keep moving.

What?

We have to.

We have to set a good example for the kids. Please. Please.

We're just dancing.

For me.

Ah. Oh, that's good, that's good.

Hmm? Huh?

Huh.

Fonz.

Not now, Rich.

Got to set an example for the kid.

Kid.

- Kid. - Yeah, thanks.

Kid.

Joanie is ruining the party.

We can't kiss, dance, nose, snuggle, nothing.

It's just like a regular date.

All right.

All right, I'll, uh... I'll talk to her.

POTSIE and RALPH: Well, talk.

All right, I'm going to.

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, I need to talk to Joanie for a second.

- Do you mind? - Oh, no, sure.

I'll be over at the lightbulb.

What is it now? Was I dancing too close?

No, no.

Joanie, see, I'm your brother, and I...

and I have to talk to you. See, uh...

See, I'm in college now.

Good, Rich, but I already know that.

What I'm trying to say is this is a college party.

Now, you two are still little kids. There's...

Rich, I get it.

You don't want me around.

Hey, that's fine with me, big brother.

Come on, David, we're leaving.

Oh, yeah, no, uh, I was just taking my bunny for a walk.

You know, uh... ♪ Da, da, da, de, da, da. ♪

All right, all right, all right. Look, uh...

Hey, let me ask you a question.

Why you going?

I'm leaving because of my big brother.

He doesn't want me around because he thinks I'm a kid.

Well, this is for you.

Did you see what she just did?

Did you see what she did to me? She went...

Can you believe she did that?

Just like a little kid.

What do you think of that?

They're here, Marion.

Oh, I knew he'd bring her back on time.

I wasn't worried.

No?

Then why are you watering artificial plants?

Oh.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Oh, you're back. - Yeah.

Oh, did you have a nice time?

- Mmm, outstanding. - Yeah.

How outstanding?

Howard.

Oh. Well, uh, I'm glad everything worked out.

Well, it's time to say good night, Joanie.

It's after 11:00.

I'll be up in a minute, Dad.

Well, why don't you come on up with us?

Howard.

What? Oh.

Well, okay.

- Good night. - Good night.

- Good night. -Good night. - Good night.

- Good night, dear. - Yeah, good night.

- It was nice meeting you. - Good night.

- Oh, nice to have met you, too. - Thank you. -Good night.

- Good night. -Good night.

- Good night. - Good night.

Parents.

Oh, yeah.

You sure are pretty.

I am?

Joanie!

I'll be right up, Dad.

I think my dad was afraid that you're, uh,

gonna try and kiss me.

He is?

Uh-huh.

- Joanie! - Ah! On my way, Dad.

I guess your dad was right.

Well, uh, guess I better take you home now.

I-I think I am home.

- Yeah. - I am.

Well, uh... I guess I better go, then.

Oh, oh, uh, uh, yeah, I'll open the door.

Yeah. Say, uh...

- Marion! - Oh.

Joanie!

Uh... Thanks for the evening, and, uh...

I'll see you at school.

- Okay, bye. - Bye.

He's such a hunk.

Oh, hi, Joanie.

I'm glad you're here.

I've been thinking about this all the way home.

I'm really sorry about the way things worked out tonight.

I-I realized something, though.

You're getting older, and chances are

this is gonna be happening more often.

You know, uh... us running into each other socially.

So I think we're gonna be able to... to just work it out.

But I am sorry that this happened this way.

Joanie?

Are you listening to my brother-sister talk?

No.

Oh, well, what's the problem?

He kissed me.

My first real kiss.

It was so romantic.

It left a lump in my throat.

A lump? That-that sounds serious.

Oh, oh, it was.

I got so excited, I-I swallowed my gum.

Well, listen, we better get upstairs

before we wake up Mom and Dad.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Rich, uh... do you think I'm pretty?

Well, I think so, but, you know, I'm your brother.

I'm not sure that counts.

I do know that a lot of guys think you're very pretty.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

- Oh, thanks. - That's okay.

Joanie... Do, uh, girls at Arnold's

think that I'm, uh... you know...

handsome?

Well, yeah, some of them think you're handsome.

But I can't imagine why with all those freckles.

Hey.

Joanie!

Joanie, what's happening?

You gigolo, what are you doing to my daughter?

- Let's go on upstairs. - All right.
