[bell rings]

? When I wake up in the morning and the alarm gives out a warning ?

? I don't think I'll ever make it on time ?

? By the time I grab my books and I give myself a look ?

? I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by ?

? It's all right ?

? 'Cause I'm saved by the bell ?

? If the teacher pops a test I know I'm in a mess ?

? And my dog ate all my homework last night ?

? Ridin' low on my chair, she won't know that I'm there ?

? If I can hand it in tomorrow it will be all right ?

? It's all right ?

? 'Cause I'm saved by the bell... ?

? It's all right, 'cause I'm saved by the-- ?

? It's all right, 'cause I'm saved by the-- ?

? It's all right, 'cause I'm saved by the bell ?

All right. Free at last.

Our last final is over!

We'll never take another test at Bayside again.

It's kind of sad, isn't it?

[all] No.

That last exam was really hard.

Yeah. How'd you fill in the first blank?

With my name. I'm sure I got it right.

I hope I get an "A."

It would give me the highest grade-point average in our class.

I'm dying to be valedictorian.

What an honor.

Stop clucking, chick. It's in the bucket.

We came to this trendy teen hangout

to remind you about ballet rehearsals.

The dance class is doing "Swan Pond."

Oh, yeah? And who are you, the nerd who croaks?

No. Sylvester beat me out for that.

Be prepared, be limber, and be on time.

We'll be there, boys.

You know, I'm going to miss those nerds.

Where you going?

Belding wants to see me. Probably has a goodbye gift.

I've spent more time in his office than he has.

[knock knock]

Come in.

Guess who?

Hello, Zack. The reason I--

I know, sir. We've spent so many hours here together,

now it's finally time to say goodbye.

Zack, I really--

Please, let's be men.

Shake hands and walk away.

It's not that easy, Zack.

You're not graduating.

What?

Remember that theater arts course you took your sophomore year?

I took it so I could sit next to Jeannie Palmer.

When she transferred to Valley, I dropped the course.

That left you one credit short of graduating.

Not graduating?

You've got to do something.

There's nothing I can do.

You can't make up that credit. Classes are over.

You're just going to have to go to summer school.

Summer school?

Those two words don't go together.

I'm going to miss running into the guys.

Button it.

What's wrong with him?

He's a credit short. He can't graduate.

What!?

He's a credit short! He can't graduate!

That's terrible.

Can't you make up the credit?

How? All the classes are over.

It's a shame you're not in our dance class.

Our big production is Friday. It's our final exam.

We got to go rehearse. We're sorry.

Real sorry.

Man, this is a drag.

Graduation won't be the same without you, Preppie.

Who says I won't be there?

You did.

I've got to get into that show and get credit for it.

How will you do that?

By giving the greatest performance of my life.

[knock on door] Come in.

I decided to get ready for summer school.

Maybe could you help me pick a course.

I admire your attitude.

I'd be happy to give you my expert advice.

Oh, you're too kind.

[knock on door]

Who could that be?

Got me. Come in.

Ooh... ahh...

Oh...

Big Pete! What happened to you?

I pulled a muscle during rehearsal.

Find someone to take my place in "Swan Pond."

Oh! It hurts. Call Mom.

Oh, I'm sorry, Pete.

Oh!

You go take care of that leg.

Ahh...

This is bad news.

Big Pete had a starring role.

What a shame.

Everybody worked so hard.

That's a problem.

What are you going to do?

O.K. The big dork fell for it.

Good nerd.

Here's the letterman's jacket we promised you,

and thanks again for dropping out of the show.

No problem.

I got extra credit for my Spanish cooking class.

Where am I going to find someone to fill in for big Pete?

Tough one, sir.

If we can get back to that one little credit

I need to graduate--

Zack, wait. I'm getting a crazy idea here.

Do you, by any chance, have any dancing experience?

Man! Who told you? It was Slater, wasn't it?

I'm going to kill him.

Slater didn't tell me anything.

What are you talking about?

Can I trust you, Mr. B?

If you can't trust your principal, who can you trust?

Good point.

Mr. Belding, I've been taking dance lessons for 10 years.

I've kept it a secret for, well, you know, image reasons.

Aha! Listen, would you be willing to put your image aside

for the good of your school?

Whoa! You don't mean me...

dancing in front of everybody?

Zack, if you take Pete's place in Swan Pond,

I will guarantee you that one credit you need to graduate.

Sir, you drive a hard bargain.

What do you say?

You've got me, sir.

Terrific! I'm going to rehearsal

and tell Mr. Lazaar I've found him a dancer!

Yeah!

Would the valedictorian mind writing something in our yearbooks?

Sure, but I'm not valedictorian yet.

I'm waiting to hear.

You're a shoo-in.

It's in the bag, sister.

[sneezes]

Sorry, it's chilly in this fancy underwear.

Gather, people!

Tout suite, now.

I have news.

What kind?

Big Pete has been stricken with an injury.

But never fear, Mr. Belding has come to our rescue

and found us a very talented dancer.

Uh... entrez.

[all] Zack?

Psst... quiet. My graduation depends on it.

Oh, Zack...

Why don't you show the class what a grand jet� looks like?

How grand do you want it?

Uh... Surprise me.

Uh...

Oh.

Oof!

Oh!

Guh...

Well, Mr. Belding, what do you think?

It's great!

What is it?

It's the Bayside "B."

I made it for the valedictorian to wear.

Jessie tried it on. It looks great on her.

Lisa, I don't know how to tell you this,

but another student beat Jessie out --

someone you know very well.

Who?

Mr. Belding, you wanted to see me?

Yes, Screech.

I wanted to let you know--

could you take those glasses off?

Sorry, Mr. B. I just came from the science lab.

These are my new cable-ready satellite eyeglasses.

Screech, I am proud to announce

that you are this year's senior class valedictorian.

Me? Valedictorian?

Congratulations, Screech.

It was close, but when the grades were in,

you beat Jessie by 1/10 of a point.

Wow! I-- it was between me and Jessie?

Yeah, congratulations

I'm sorry. I can't accept the honor.

Well, why not?

Why not? Because...

Well, because...

I cheated in biology.

I had a frog up my sleeve

and he gave me all the answers.

You had a frog--

Look, I don't want the dumb honor.

Find yourself another valedictorian.

Goodbye.

- What? - I don't know.

Screech! Hey!

You never cheat.

Now, what's going on?

Lisa, if I become valedictorian, that means Jessie won't.

She'd be crushed.

It's nice that you're thinking of Jessie,

but it's a once in a lifetime honor.

You earned it.

Jessie's the perfect person to speak on graduation day.

I'm just a geek with a squeaky voice!

What makes you think Jessie will accept being valedictorian,

knowing you really won?

That's why you've got to promise not to tell anyone.

Promise, Lisa.

O.K... I promise.

On your new summer wardrobe?

I promise.

You promise?

I promise!

Hey, Lisa, you ready for ballet class?

The question is, is Zack ready?

Uh, guys, I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

The ballet is going to be canceled.

Why?

The nerds came down with the flu.

Can't you do something, Mr. Lazaar?

Without a full cast,

the show cannot go on.

You'll be graded on previous work and attendance.

What about me, Mr. Belding?

Without a performance, you still have an "incomplete."

That means I can't graduate!

I'm sorry, Zack.

Boy, what a lousy day this has turned out to be.

Not totally, Jessie.

I've got great news.

You're this year's valedictorian.

I am?

I can't believe it!

I mean, I can believe it -- I'm valedictorian?

I'm going to call my mother!

I'm sorry, Zack.

I wish there was a way we could still put on the show

so you could be in it.

Maybe there is.

Mr. Belding, Mr. Lazaar,

if I found replacements for the nerds,

could we still put on the ballet?

It's late to recast.

The show must go on, right?

Well, right!

Ha ha ha!

Gosh, I love show business!

Yeah.

Whoo! Whoo! Yeah!

Thank you for coming to our final dance production of the year.

Now the Bayside ballet proudly presents

the enchanting "Swan Pond."

Maestro, are you ready?

Ready, Mr. Belding.

Bawk! Bawk! Bawk! Bawk!

Bawk!

When Screech came out as a ballerina, I almost died.

You didn't have to dance around the stage

with a dozen eggs in your pantyhose.

Mr. Lazaar said it's the first ballet

the audience didn't walk out on.

We all got A's.

We've got to do this again sometime.

Hey, guys, there isn't going to be another sometime.

I mean, this is our last night together at Bayside.

Hey, that's right.

Tomorrow we graduate.

Boo-hoo!

Oh, gosh, I'm going to miss these halls!

What is wrong with you guys?

We're finally getting out of high school.

You won't miss Bayside?

No.

Won't you miss us?

Lisa, you and Jessie will be in New York.

I'll pop down from Yale.

We'll meet every weekend.

I'll be at Cal without a pal!

I'll see you tomorrow when we break out of this joint!

I can't believe Bayside doesn't mean more to him.

Yeah, well, I'm going to miss it.

This is the first school I've stayed in for more than six months.

Thanks to you guys, it's been like a home.

And you'll always be my mama.

And you'll always be my papa...

You big pig.

Goodbye, locker.

Goodbye, school.

Goodbye, Lisa.

Goodbye, Screech.

[sniffling]

Oh... I'm so happy, I'm so sad.

I don't know what I am.

That's too tough to figure out now.

Let's go, Screech.

Lisa, I thought you didn't like him.

Why did you kiss him?

I'm going to miss him. He's a real decent guy.

He once got dressed and then took a shower.

He may be decent, but he's still a dorky guy.

Well, if it wasn't for that dorky guy,

you wouldn't be valedictorian.

Oh...

What do you mean?

Forget it. I promised not to tell.

No, Lisa, I have to know!

How did he make me valedictorian?

All right.

Screech's average was higher than yours,

but he told Mr. Belding to let you be valedictorian

because it meant so much to you.

This might be a much better world if it had more little dorky guys,

don't you think?

In conclusion, a personal note.

You seniors have given me more memories

than any others in all my years at Bayside.

Now I would like to present the winner

of Bayside's highest honor --

this year's valedictorian...

Jessica Spano!

Mr. Belding...

distinguished faculty...

fellow students...

We have learned many important lessons here at Bayside,

but I learned two more lessons last night

that I will carry with me forever --

humility and generosity.

I learned another student had better grades,

but begged Mr. Belding to make me valedictorian

because it's been my dream.

[murmuring]

Well, that student deserves to stand here today.

So...

Now, let's hear from our real valedictorian...

Screech Powers.

I would--oh!

It's O.K. No, no, it's O.K.

You'll have to excuse me. I'm kind of nervous.

My knees are knocking so hard, I almost answered them.

Look, I'm nothing special.

I did what I did because it felt good,

but no one's made me feel as good

as my best friend Zack.

I've learned so much because of him,

maybe because I did all his homework.

But I love him.

Come up, Zack.

You're better with words than I am.

You know, it's funny.

Uh...

I thought the last day of high school would be the happiest day of my life,

until I realized what I'd be leaving--

my friends.

That's what Bayside means to me.

Not just girlfriends,

though I'll miss all, mmm... 86 of you.

No. I'm talking about those people

who are always there when you need them.

Like when your parents ground you

for borrowing the car and not bringing all of it home,

or a girl you'd die to go out with...

tells you to drop dead.

Or better yet,

when you're a credit short of graduating

and your friends stand up for you,

no matter how ridiculous you make them look.

I'm lucky.

I have the greatest friends.

You know, I may even let Screech do my homework in college.

Good luck.

- Hey! - Hey!

Pretty good, Mr. B.

And finally, Zack Morris.

You know, son,

you've got something very special inside of you.

I hope I'm around to see it when you let it all out.

Aw...

How about that?

I actually graduated high school!

Yes!

Way to go, guys.

[all] Yeah!
