Happy Days is filmed before a studio audience.

Please, Fonz, please! We've got an emergency here,

my car's got a dead battery,

so we thought maybe we could hook up

the cables to Al's truck.

Yeah, please, Fonz, we need the car.

We're taking the Drinkwater twins to the drive-in.

Oh, yeah? Well, then why don't you hook up

the Drinkwater twins?

It's funny working with him!

All right, take the cables.

- You just bring 'em back tonight. - Oh, thanks, Fonz!

All right, they're under there over the table, by the table.

- You can trust us. - Yeah. -Thanks, Fonz, thanks.

- Hey. - No touch, no touch.

- Hi, Lori. - Hi, Lori.

I'd like to introduce to you, the Wild One himself,

Richie "Wheelie" Cunningham!

Bravo!

Yeah!

You got a bike!

Hey, Rich, Rich, this is a beaut!

Yeah, isn't it neat?

I just brought it down here so Fonz could, you know,

check it out, give me a few tips.

He's gonna love this! It's the best bike in Milwaukee.

And, Fonz, uh, what do you think?

It's-it's nice, huh?

First of all, bikes are not nice, they're cool.

Second of all, you want to be a big leaguer,

you talk like the big leagues.

Right, Fonz. Well, it is cool.

- I should have done this a long time ago. - Yeah, yeah.

Richie Cunningham with a bike.

Well, I guess Milwaukee's big enough for two Fonzies.

There's only one Fonz. Right, Chach?

- Right, Ralph. - We were just leaving, Fonz.

- Nice bike, Rich. See you. - Yeah, great bike, Rich.

No, no, bikes are cool, they're not nice!

Cool, cool.

Thanks again for the cables, Fonz.

Follow those clowns,

make sure they don't knot up my cables, huh?

Right, Fonz. Oh, uh, I forgot.

Rochelle called before.

Rochelle.

What a beauty mark.

I never saw a beauty mark.

And you never will.

Fonz, uh, how'd you like to double on motorcycles?

Hey, great. Leather's in the office. We'll triple-date.

Well, Chachi, I doubt if Leather wants to ride on a motorcycle

that has training wheels.

He's a kid, training wheels...

It's not easy being second mechanic.

- The cables. - Right, Fonz.

All right.

Want your first lesson?

- Yeah. - Man your bike.

Oh, right. Hop on, L.B.

L.B., the owner gets on first.

Oh, yeah.

Where should I put my hands?

Oh, just, uh, keep looking.

How's this?

Oh, yeah, that's cute, that's cute, okay.

Okay, I'm gonna start it, uh, key's on,

I, I already got it in neutral. Here we go.

Not so good, Richie.

No, no, I'll get it, I'll get it. It's...

Hey.

Do-si-do, and around you go...

We're not doing square dances here, you understand that?

All right, now assume it started.

- Oh, all right. - All right.

Cunningham... I think you're,

you're exceeding the speed limit here.

Oh, yeah.

Now, you're just cruising down the street.

Right.

Here comes a stop sign. What are you gonna do?

Okay, uh, here comes a stop sign,

I'm going to, uh, put on the brake

and screech to a halt.

- Now what? - Well, now the cop comes up

and gives you a ticket

'cause you just pulled the clutch

and went right through the stop sign.

What, that-that's the clutch?

That's right. Here's your brake right here.

Son of a gun, you know they look exactly alike?

How are you supposed to know which is which?

Well, one'll kill ya.

It'll be good if I remember that.

Yeah.

Hey, gang.

- Hi, Leather. -Hi, Leather. - How you doing?

I just talked to my agent. I got a gig tonight.

- Oh, that's great. -That's great. - Hey, that's great.

Oh, wow, Fonzie, you got a new bike.

Hold it.

The Fonz don't get a new bike.

Do you think the Lone Ranger would trade in his Silver?

No, no, no, this is my bike.

All 650cc's of it.

That's motorcycle talk.

That's horn talk.

Listen, Fonz, the gig is in Waukegan.

Can you give me a lift to the bus?

- Oh, sure. - Oh, great.

And then I'll meet Rochelle and play "Connect the beauty marks."

- Fonz. - Yeah.

I think I'm gonna take this out

for just a little spin around the block

before you look it over. Is that all right?

Yeah, that's cool. All right, just take it slow.

- Right. - All right?

I'll be back, we'll spend a couple of hours together,

you'll be zooming down that road in no time.

Oh, that's gonna be great.

The first thing we do when I get back: disconnect the horn.

Thanks.

See you later, huh?

- Yeah. - Bye, Fonz.

- Now, you on? - Yeah.

Okay,

I got past the first part of getting the bike.

Now I got to get past the second part,

telling my folks about it.

You didn't tell your parents yet?

Don't worry.

Wheelie Cunningham will win 'em over.

Oh, hi, everybody.

- Richard. - Hi, Richard.

Hi. Oh, man, I'm really glad to be home.

Mom, you're really looking good tonight.

What... did you do something to your hair?

Uh-uh, no.

Oh, well, it's just beautiful. It's...

Dad... Dad...

how was your day at the store, huh?

Hey, Joanie. Hey, cute daughter you got there.

You know something, Dad?

You have done an excellent job raising this whole family.

All right, Richard, what do you want?

What do I want?

Oh, no, I-I don't want anything.

I'm just full of love tonight.

You're full of something.

Mom, what are we having for dinner, huh?

You know, I'll tell you something.

Nobody makes a dinner like my mom.

- Peanut butter. - Peanut butter?

Oh, good, good, I love peanut butter.

Your father ate all the chops.

That's okay, Dad. I would have given them

to you if I had been here.

Now let's stop this nonsense.

Now tell us what happened, huh?

All right, all right.

I, uh...: I got a motorcycle.

What, Richard? I didn't hear you.

I, I just said that I... got a motorcycle.

Will you take your hand away from your mouth?!

It sounded like you said,

- "I just bought a motorcycle." - I got a motorcycle.

Well, Richard, y-you should have asked us first!

That is out of the question!

Now wait a minute. I think this is pretty unfair.

You know, I'm always being treated like a kid around here.

Join the club.

- All right, you want fair? - Yeah.

You give me one good reason

why we should let you have a motorcycle.

That's easy. It's very cheap on gas.

- Good point. - Thanks, Joanie.

But it evens out with medical bills.

- Will you go to your room? - Okay, okay.

If you don't want my advice...

Why do you want a motorcycle?

All right, number two,

it's always easy to find a parking space.

All right, so it's cheap on gas

and you can find a parking space.

But I absolutely forbid it!

Good, Howard.

"Forbid it"?

"Good, Howard"?

All right, all right, all right, fine,

you're gonna treat me like a baby, I'll be a baby.

You want a baby? Here's a baby!

You want to be a baby?

I can't believe this!

I've never seen you act like this, Richard.

- That's terrible. - Spending your own money like that.

I-I love this, my little stepfamily,

full of spunk and vinegar, you know.

Here's my bottle of rent.

I don't want to say anything, but he's sucking his thumb.

Yeah.

That's right, that's right.

They treat me like a baby, so I'm gonna be a baby.

I'm gonna suck my thumb.

I-I don't think I'm ever gonna understand

a middle-class family.

Arthur, now Richard is getting a motorcycle,

and we don't think it's safe.

Now, Mrs. C., wait a minute. I checked it out.

He's a good driver, it's in good shape, huh?

Yeah, but it's my son's shape that I'm worried about, Fonzie.

You know, there are some people

that should not ride motorcycles.

You know, I totally agree with you.

Potsie is a good example.

And Richard, too.

No, Richie wouldn't ride right in the middle of a fruit stand.

Potsie did that?

Yeah. He hit head-on,

right in the middle of these, uh, honeydew melons.

It took us about an hour to find his head.

That's funny.

Oh!

You see, Richard?

Even Arthur says it's dangerous.

Oh, now wait a minute. Fonzie did not say that.

He said it's dangerous for Potsie.

Right.

Walking is dangerous for Potsie.

Now, look, Mr. C., Mrs. C., if it makes you feel any better,

I checked out the bike, I took Richie for a ride,

he did very, very well, huh?

Of course, I suggest

he takes the thumb out of his mouth, but...

Well...

Dad, Dad, look, I bought the bike with money

that I saved working in the band.

Now, you said that I was old enough now,

you said I was an adult.

No, he just said you were old enough

to make your own decisions.

Yeah! Well, that's my decision, to buy a motorcycle.

You're not old enough.

Well, I did say you were an adult, Richard,

so I guess I at least have to let you try it.

Oh, thanks, Dad.

Is your thumb dry?

Oh. Will be, will be.

All right, all right, there you go. That settles it.

Now just do me a favor, you take it nice and slow.

All right.

And you wear your helmet and never smile.

But never smile? Why?

'Cause you get bugs in your teeth.

Bugs in your teeth... I don't think it's very funny.

Well, don't worry, Marion.

If Fonzie gave him some pointers,

I'm sure he's gonna be just fine.

Man, did you hear that? Wasn't that terrific?

I would never do that.

That's it, Al, keep it turned. A little more.

Keep pushing, guys.

Come on, Pots, push.

We've got to get to the drive-in.

I am pushing. Chach, why aren't you helping?

Did you ever hear of child labor laws?

Boy, Pots, you should have been more careful

with that jumper cable.

Put the fire out, didn't I?

Boys, quit, quit arguing and push!

We're here, Al.

Oh. Oh, yeah.

Thanks, guys.

Hey, you know, I had the emergency brake on?

For 20 blocks?

It holds pretty good.

Hey, Fonz! Fonzie!

He's not here.

You brought me to a garage without a mechanic?

- That's right. - No sweat.

Chachi, number two mechanic, is on duty.

Oh, Chachi, promise me one thing.

You won't take the truck apart and sell it?

How much do you think we can get for it?

That's funny. Even tired, I got it.

I think I know what's wrong with it, Al.

What a mess, what a mess.

Oh, no problem, guys, it's in good hands.

Look, Pots, you had to hook the cable to the carburetor?

I can't believe it.

We finally get a date with the Drinkwater twins

and we blow up two cars!

Drinkwater twins, Drinkwater twins,

- Drinkwater twins... - Keep it going, keep it going...

Help, somebody, help!

What happened?

- We crashed! - What?

- You crashed? - Are you all right?

Not me. Richie... He's lying in the street.

He's not moving, he's not moving!

- Come on! - Let's go! -Let's go!

- Chachi... - Let's go!

You stay with her.

Your son is in critical condition.

If he comes out of the coma soon and regains consciousness,

he should be all right.

If?

No, no, he-he-he didn't mean "if," Marion,

he meant when he comes out of the coma.

You-you meant "when," didn't you, Doc?

He had a very bad fall, Mr. Cunningham.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Dear God...

It's a good thing he was wearing his helmet.

It could have been worse.

Now there's...

really nothing that you people can do here.

Why don't you just go home?

Well, i-in just a minute.

Oh, Howard, this is all like a bad dream.

All right now, sweetheart, he-he's going to be all right.

He's getting the best of care.

Richie will be fine.

Yeah.

Come on, Mom.

Oh, Arthur... Yeah, I know.

Hi, Red.

I'm right here with you.

How is he?

Well, he's... not very good, Fonzie,

but there is a chance.

Is there anything I can do?

Nothing.

Come on, let's go home.

Thanks for coming over, everybody.

Let's have something to eat while we're waiting.

Here.

- Oh, hi. - Hi, Al. -Hi, Al.

Any news?

No change, so far.

No, but he's going to be all right.

He's-he's a very tough kid.

Sure he is.

Well, I'm gonna clean this house.

Marion, you cleaned the house this morning.

Let's have some macaroni and cheese, all right?

I-I'll have a bite, Al.

I could go for one helping.

- Oh, kids, how they can eat. - Yeah.

I remember one time Richie...

Changed my mind. I'm not hungry.

Now listen to me, everybody.

Richard's been in an accident

and he's been badly hurt.

Okay, people get badly hurt

and get sick every single day.

The only thing is,

we always think it's only gonna happen

to somebody else's family.

Well, now it's happened to ours,

and we have to deal with it.

And right now that's what I'm trying to do,

and I say that Richard is going to be all right.

Of course he is.

And we're just very grateful

that Richard has friends that care.

♪♪

♪♪

His condition is stable.

We'll just have to wait and see.

How you doin', Red?

They wouldn't let me stay before, but I'm here now.

Chachi says hello. "Hello."

He loves working down at that garage, you know.

You can't do this, uh, Red.

A lot of people counting on you, you know.

Your mother, your father, Joanie...

Ralph, Potsie...

You can't go yet,

you got a whole lifetime ahead of you, you know?

I mean, you didn't even make

the editor of that college paper yet.

There's a lot of... crummy journalism around,

you got to make it all straight.

They need you.

I need you.

You're my best friend.

I know I never said that before, but I'm saying it now.

You are my best friend.

And I don't want to lose you.

Hey, uh... sir?

Got to have a little chat here.

It's my best friend Richie.

Now, he's in really bad shape.

Yeah, I know you know that.

But, uh, the world is kind of going a little wacko, you know,

and, uh, you need...

you need people down here like him.

And if you don't, I do.

Now... I can fix a lot of things, but, uh...

this one is all yours.

So, uh... let's make a little deal.

You do this for me... and I'll owe you one.

Heyyy.

Will you look at that?

He must have stayed here all night.

Fonzie? Fonzie.

Arthur, it's morning.

Have you been here all night?

Yeah, I guess I fell asleep.

Doctor said it was all right, though.

Well, you go home now.

Go on home, Fonzie.

We'll tell Richard you were here.

I don't think I'm going to leave here.

Well, Arthur, you just go home now and get some sleep.

Yeah, Marion's right.

Yeah, you're both right, but I ain't going.

- We're going to stay here... - Fonzie, it doesn't

- do you any good... - There's a lot of food at home.

Why don't you just go? We're gonna be here.

You're not going to do yourself any good

- by staying here... - There's food there,

you can go and get some rest.

- Come on, now... - Will you people quiet down?

You're giving me a headache.

Quiet, Richard, and don't interrupt your father.

Thank you, Marion.

Now, look, Fon... Richard!

- Oh, Richard! - Richard?

- You're okay! - Are you all right?

- Are you all right, dear? - Doctor! Doctor!

Oh, man, it is good to see you.

- Hey! - Oh, you gave us a terrible scare.

I-Is... is Lori Beth all right?

- Oh, she's fine, just fine. - Yes.

Oh, good.

Hey.

How do you feel?

Well, uh... I feel kind of hungry.

Oh... - That's a good sign. - Yeah.

Oh, Richard.

Oh, I'm so glad to see your eyes open...

Heyyy.

All right. All right.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

All right, try this.

Hmm? Huh?

- Yeah. - Ah.

I told you he'd be his old self before long.

Oh, hello, Mr... Oh!

- Oh, yeah. - Yeah.

- Hi, Mom... Dad. - Hi, Lori Beth.

Richard, your motorcycle's fixed.

No, no, I'm not keeping that.

I'm-I'm getting rid of that motorcycle.

Good.

Yeah, you know, I wanted

one of those for so long,

and then when I got it,

I was scared to death to ride it.

I don't know, I-I just don't think

I'm suited for a motorcycle.

Well, it wouldn't have been much fun

at the drive-in anyway.

I would have had to hold the speaker the whole time.

Let's get something to eat.

I think they want to be alone.

Yeah.

I'll never forget this week.

Well, Marion...

no one said it was easy being a parent.

I know.

But it can be so painful.

I'm just going to walk Lori Beth out to her car.

Say good night for us, dear.

Yeah.

Say, uh...

I-I guess I must have put you through

a lot this week and, uh...

with the accident and everything...

Oh, don't worry about it, Richard.

It's all part of being a parent.

Thanks.

I'll see you.

- Night. - Night.

Quite a son.

Richie... He's quite a Casanova.

Takes after his father.

That's right.

Eat your cookie, Casanova.
