Happy Days is filmed before a studio audience.

Well, I just finished it.

I got my summer job application right here.

Now, those greenbacks are gonna start rolling in now.

Yep, yes, sirree.

Big deal.

A bag boy at Fensick's Market.

I bet you make manager by the end of summer.

No.

Well, maybe head of cold cuts.

I don't understand

why you don't want to work in the hardware store.

I'll pay you $1.20 an hour and that's my final offer.

- No. Thanks, but no thanks, Dad. - Why not?

Because Lori Beth's going to be a checker at Fensick's.

Yeah, that's right.

I'll pay you $1.30 an hour

and that's my final offer.

No, Dad, you see,

Lori Beth and I are going to be like the baboons.

We've been studying about it

in our cultural anthropology course, see.

It's really very simple.

Baboons who have a mate,

why, they're happy, you know?

And-and their productivity increases.

But baboons with no mates...

well, they're very sad.

Oh, I'll get it.

I'm going ape listening to Richie.

- Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi. - Hi, Al!

Oh, boy.

Yeah.

Still raining out.

Oh, what a nice family.

Howard, were you able to find your cumberbund?

Al, I could not let you be the Man of the Year

for the Sons of Italy without a cumberbund.

Here you are.

It fits me... it may be a little small on you.

Hmm?

Perfect.

Alfred, I'll bet you'll look so handsome.

Oh... It's going to be a big night for me.

Who's the lucky lady, Al?

Yeah, who are you taking to your banquet?

Oh, wow, you know, I've been so excited and so busy,

I just forgot all about that.

Yeah, you know, it's quite an honor.

Well, you deserve it.

Oh, I suppose.

Hey, thanks, guy.

- My pleasure. - Have a wonderful time.

Oh. Bye-bye, everybody.

Bye, Al.

Well, I got the cumberbund.

Now I got to borrow a tux.

Isn't it nice that Alfred is finally being recognized

for all the work he does for the community?

Well, it's just a shame.

Al's having his big moment

and nobody there to share it with him.

And Al needs somebody by his side

when he collects that award.

He'll have somebody by his side... the presenter.

- Oh... - Come on, Marion.

Well, maybe Richard's right.

Why don't we fix him up with Constance Brooks?

Constance Brooks is 72 years old.

But she's still cute as a button.

I could get him a date.

- You fix somebody up? - Yeah.

Why don't you get, uh, Fonzie

to look in his little black book, ape man?

Fonzie's black book?

Yeah.

You think Mr. Smooth here

doesn't have a little old black book of his own?

Let's see.

Chock-full of choice numbers, too.

All right, right here on-on "M."

Milwaukee Journal.

Uh, Miller's Cleaners.

Uh... Mom?

That-That's okay, Rich.

Fonz'll be back tomorrow.

Why don't you look under "D" for Dad?

"D" for Dad... "D" for... Dad.

Hey, Al.

Hi, Rich.

You look like you should be on a can of sardines.

Oh, well, yeah, my mom got me this outfit.

Oh, Al, I just wanted to talk to you.

It's about Saturday night.

- And I... - I can't talk, Rich.

Busy, busy, busy.

Well...

Well, Rich, old man,

we got our summer jobs...

- Well... - working on the docks.

Associate longshoremen.

Give me a break.

- No lie, Rich. - Yeah.

We start Saturday.

We work weekends till school's out.

We're going to be real men.

Hard guys.

Yeah, hard guys.

Ruddy complexions, maybe even tattoos.

You want us to put in a good word for you, mate?

You look like a hearty lad, ha...

Uh, I think I'm doing fine with my job at Fensick's Market.

Go on.

Work in a market all summer with Lori Beth...

- Yeah. - While Pots and I ride the nets

and cavort with waterfront trollops?

Come on, Ralph.

- Forget Rich. - Right.

Let's go down to the docks, you know?

Meet with our cronies, spit in the gutter and swear.

Nah, it's raining outside.

Let's just swear.

♪ Heave ho, heave ho... ♪

Oh, Al, do you think I could talk to you now?

I'm sorry, Rich.

Yeah, I-I know, busy, busy, busy.

Busy means business.

All right, well...

Kickstand me. Go right ahead.

- Oh. - Fonz.

- Yeah. - You can't bring your bike in here.

What if the health inspector should come in?

Hey, Al, come here.

Would I leave you in the rain, Al?

Well...

I guess I'll just tell them that I boiled it.

Hey, there you go, there you go.

Aren't you going to say anything?

Huh?

Don't you notice anything new?

Hey, look at this trophy. I got first prize right here.

Oh, right.

Yeah, it's-it's nice.

Yeah, what are you talking about, "nice"?

No, uh, "Oh, golly gee, Fonz," huh?

No "neato, Fonz"?

It's neato, Fonz.

Hey, that's better, that's better.

I'm sorry, my mind's on something else.

I...

I'm trying to figure out a way to get Al a date.

You see, he-he's got this big awards banquet.

He's getting the award.

I just think it'd make it a little nicer for him if he...

if he had someone to-to share the experience with him.

You know, like-like you had

when you got your trophy.

I don't think Al can handle 12 girls right now.

No, just a regular date.

Who knows?

Maybe Al will start going out more often then.

What do you think, Fonz?

Can-can you fix him up with a date?

Hey, I could fix up Boys Town.

I want to thank you guys for fixing me up,

but I'm nervous.

Do I look okay?

Dashing? Presentable?

Cute?

All of those things.

You know, since Rosa Coletti, I haven't dated much

and I'm not sure of myself anymore, you understand.

Al, looking at you,

I now know what Valentino would have looked like at 40.

Aw, no... Gable, maybe.

Hey, Al.

Tighten that belt, Al.

This is gonna knock your socks off.

You're gonna take off... You're gonna fly through orbit

when you meet... Anna.

Anna.

Anna, Anna.

That's such a sweet name.

Where is she, Fonz?

She's pulling her motorcycle

into a plot out there in your parking lot.

Motorcycle?

Hey, hey, hey, grab hold of yourselves here.

It's a three-wheeler.

- Oh. - She's a meter maid.

- Oh, a meter maid. - Yeah.

Well, do I call her Anna or Officer?

Al, just be yourself.

Uh... wrong.

Cool, Al.

You got to be very, very cool.

Ree-bop-a-baby!

Forget cool, Al.

Do what he says.

Hi, I'm Al.

Hi, I'm Anna.

How do you do?

Never gave it much thought.

Would you like a cup of coffee, uh, Officer?

Oh, just call me Anna.

Okay.

How about a cup of coffee, Officer Anna?

You know, people in our business...

we have a lot of things in common.

Like what?

Well, uh...

See you tonight... Al.

Okay, 8:00.

Don't forget, formal.

Oh, right.

I'll tell you something.

I think that Al was pretty cool there with Anna, huh?

Fonz, the man poured salt in his coffee.

He did it with cool.

Hey, Al.

Well, uh... how did it go between you two?

Well, does-does Anna like you?

Well, are-are the two of you going to be going out?

Hey, Chachi.

Hey, Rich.

- Seen Al around? - I don't know.

He's two hours late.

I get all dressed to see him about a job

and he doesn't show.

Boy, if he hires me, he'd better shape up.

Ha.

Hey, he's two hours late after that banquet last night, huh?

Must've had a pretty good time.

I'm glad to hear that.

Yeah, uh... hey, look, Rich.

I know you carry a lot of clout with Al,

so, uh, I want you to tell him

that making me assistant manager for the summer is a great idea.

What about the garage?

I'll work it out.

Rich, the man needs me.

Didn't work.

But I'll see what I can do for you.

Oh, great.

Oh, excuse me, honey.

All right.

Here's what I want you to say.

Huh?

Let's see, uh... "To whom it may concern,

"I have known Charles Arcola

"for many years now

"and found him to be trustworthy,

"loyal, courteous,

and one heck of a guy. Wah, wah, wah."

Rich... Rich, the docks are a jungle.

Rich, you should have seen the foreman.

The man had a tattoo on his face.

Well, what happened to "riding the nets"

and all that manly stuff?

Riding the nets?

Rich, they made us load the nets!

Yeah, with heavy stuff, too.

Look at this.

I hate the job.

It's not meaningful.

You got canned, huh?

We quit by mutual consent.

Hey, why don't you guys work at the library?

I hear they need bookends.

Tell Al I'll see him later.

You guys are a panic.

Boy, boy, we didn't even get a chance to meet a trollop.

Well, I hear they're still taking applications

at Fensick's Market.

Huh. No way, man.

We're gonna get some great jobs.

Maybe even lifeguards: tans, girls.

Come on, Ralph.

Right, Pots.

Potsie, you don't even know how to swim!

I'll work the kiddie pool, huh?

Well, I'm gonna work the deep end

and give the girls Malph-to-mouth resuscitation.

I still got it, even unemployed.

Let's wash up.

I'm back, Clarence.

Thanks for covering for me.

Hey, Al, there you are.

What is this? You're soaking wet.

Oh, it was such a nice day out, I thought I'd walk to work.

Oh, you must have had a pretty good time last night, huh?

- Pretty good? It was great. - Oh.

One of the best nights I ever had in my life.

That's great.

Let me tell you more, huh?

If I told you what we did after the banquet...

Oh, really?

- We both came here. - Oh, yeah?

Alone.

You know what we did?

No, what? What?!

Made cookies.

- On the first date, huh? - Yep.

We're going out again tonight.

- Oh. - Dinner, my pad.

- That's my apartment. - Oh, right, right.

Ree-bop-a-baby!

Yeah, ree-bop-a-baby!

Oh... Look at that. Too much!

Ah, I'll show her no mercy.

Oh, Mama, Papa.

I know, right now you're saying,

"What's it all about, Alfred?"

Yeah. Well, I got a date tonight.

That's two in a row.

Oh, I know she's not Italian, but you're gonna love her.

Ah...

Hey... Hello, Scarlett.

Frankly, my dear, I don't give a darn.

Doggone, I bet I'd be a lot of fun at parties.

Hey, Ma... ♪ She is five-foot-two ♪

♪ Eyes of blue ♪

♪ Oh, what those five feet can do ♪

♪ Has anybody seen my gal? ♪

♪ Wada-wada-wada-wada. ♪

Olé!

Hey, hello...

Anna! Oh-oh, wait-wait-wait a bit, would you, please?

Be right there!

Coming up...!

Be right with you!

Okay, here I am!

Hello.

Yeah, everything's cooking.

I should be out to pick you up in about...

Huh?

What, is something wrong?

Oh, well, we could just skip the music and have dinner.

I see.

Oh... yeah.

Well, I understand, sure.

Oh, we could be friends, heck, yes.

Yeah, it's all right.

Sure. I'll see you soon.

Okay.

Bye, Anna.

♪ Has anybody seen... ♪

♪ My gal? ♪

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Okay, you're racing the clock this time, bag boy.

Ready. Go!

- Come on, come on, come on. - Come on.

Come on.

Hurry, hurry!

Come on!

All right, 12 seconds!

Ah, yeah!

Could be a new indoor world's record.

Hello, Arthur. What's new?

Al's date dumped him.

What?

Yeah, it was dumpamundo.

Oh, my goodness.

Howard, did you hear that?

- Yeah. - Dumpamundo.

Just exactly what does that mean, Arthur?

Anna called me.

She broke a date with Al for tonight. Oh!

Oh, man, Al really likes her, too.

Likes her? He is nutso over her.

But she, you know, she...

she ain't ready for nutso yet.

Richard, you should have left well enough alone.

Well, it works with the baboons, Dad.

Hey, look, baboons aside, Richie here was trying to help.

And it's appreciated.

Some help.

Do you know what it feels like to be stood up?

HOWARD, MARION AND RICHIE: Yeah.

No.

Yeah, well, I do.

And it's the loneliest feeling in the world.

Hey, I can dig it, I can dig it.

But look, let's go help him out,

all right, before Al drowns his sorrows in a pot of meat sauce.

Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.

Wait a minute, boys. Howard, you should go with them.

You understand being stood up more than anybody.

Marion!

I mean, Alfred needs somebody his own age

- to talk to at a time like this. - Oh...

Yeah, Mom's right, Dad. Come on.

All right, all right.

I might as well give him the benefit of my experience.

Come on. We'll take the DeSoto.

Oh, wait a minute, Mr. C.

I feel bad enough as it is.

Who is it?

It's Howard Cunningham, Al.

And friends.

Whoa!

Hi. We were just driving by and we thought

we'd drop up and say, uh, hello.

- Hey, how you doing, Al? - Hello. -Hi.

Well, actu... actually, this is not a good time.

Yeah, we heard, Al, we heard.

That's why we came right over here, right, Rich?

Yeah. Al, listen, uh,

this here, this is not the answer.

Definitely not the answer.

I always put wine in my spaghetti sauce.

Spaghetti sauce. Oh.

Oh, yeah, you made a whole batch of sauce there.

Well, heck. Well, not that you need any company or anything,

but as long as we're here, we wouldn't want

to let this stuff go to waste, would we?

That's true, yeah, right.

Nothing is gonna go to waste.

Al, look, I'm sorry that I got you into this mess.

Rich, you did the right thing.

Look, matter of fact, I'm having company tonight.

Aw, come on.

You don't have to say that just to try and make me feel better.

That's true.

All right, all right, Al,

keep a stiff upper lip.

Fonz, someone's coming over.

Yeah, right-right-right- right-right.

Howard, could I talk to you for a minute alone, please?

Why, sure, Al.

Fellas, huh?

What, are you kidding? Sure.

Well, yeah, sure, we, we get the hint.

Yeah, you don't have to hit us over the head,

let us know you want us to go.

You just have to say the word...

Cunningham!

That's the word.

Ah, they're nice guys, but they're young

and I don't think they understand.

But I think you would.

You've been stood up before, right?

How does everybody know that?

- Here, sit down, will you? - Thanks.

I want to explain something to you.

Did I ever...

Did I ever tell you about Rosa Coletti?

It was 1934... or was it '35?

It was '35, Al.

Yes, you did tell me about Rosa.

She, uh, eloped, didn't she?

Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep.

Well, ever since then, I haven't dated much.

I always was afraid of getting hurt.

But tonight I realized I've just been harming myself.

You know, last night getting that award was terrific,

but being with Anna was the best night of my life.

All right, so this one didn't work.

Well, maybe the next one will.

Mm.

You know, Al, there was a Rosa Coletti in my life, too.

Her name was Frances Drake, no relation.

I was about 15... or was it 16?

Anyway, I remember she called me...

I'd like to hear about Frances,

but I'm a little pressed for time.

Maybe we could have lunch.

Oh, sure, sure. Tell me something, who's the lucky lady?

Well... Mona Glickstein.

- She's a widowed lady, lives upstairs. - Oh.

I've been taking out her garbage, you know,

and for a couple of years now

I've been meaning to get together,

but I've always been too shy to ask.

Well, now I asked.

Look, tell the guys I'm all right, will ya?

Sure. I will, Al.

Well, we'll be running along.

Thanks, Howard.

Got a problem?

No problem.

Mona Glickstein is coming to dinner.

Oh. Well, night, Al.

Oh, listen, don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Don't worry, Rich, I wouldn't.

Hey, Al, you gotta try.

You always gotta try.

Boom!

How does Fonzie do that?

I'm gonna have to try it sometime.

Just kidding, Mom.

Just a minute.

Hi, Mona. Gee, it's nice to see ya.

Yeah.

To price marker, right?

Yeah, how'd you know that?

Not too many hands sell three for 29 cents.

Yeah, well, not without the coupons.

Ha, just get me a burger.

Yes, sir, sit right here.

Uh, sure.

I'll have this cleaned up right away.
