- Hey, Preppie. How's it going?
- Yeah, are you okay?

He'll be fine.
Leave him alone.

What's the big deal? Am I supposed
to be upset about something?

Yeah, after Kelly
dumped you the other night,

I'm surprised
you even got out of bed.

Maybe you'll meet somebody
at my Sweet Sixteen party.

Remember, you guys,
it's this Saturday.

Only five shopping days left.

It sounds excellent.

Well, here's your invitation
and yours, and yours.

- Don't I get one?
- Well, okay.

But if you have a previous
engagement, I understand.

In fact... I'll pay for it.
See you guys later.

You know, Zack,
like my Uncle Charlie used to say,

"Women are like vines.
If you fall off one,

hey, you can swing
with another."

You know, you're not just a pig,
you are a gorilla-pig.

Zack, you'll be all right.

Hey, Kelly is just another chick,
and now she's out of my life.

Yeah.

But not out of your locker.

- Hey, Kelly.
- Hey.

- Here's an invitation to my party.
- Thanks.

And here's a list of all
my favorite stores in the mall.

Great. This will be a great chance
for you guys to get to know Jeff.

Jeff?

It's okay if I bring him,
isn't it?

I guess so. I mean, I hadn't
really thought about it,

- but yeah, sure, go ahead.
- Thanks.

She doesn't even care
about what she did to Zack.

Yeah, now she expects us to hang out with
that frat-boy babe stealer.

- Hi, guys.
- Hi, Kel. How's it going?

(bell rings)

There she is.

Hey, I can handle this.
She's nobody special.

I can't let her know
I'm miserable.

Ahem..

Hi, Zack.

Oh, hey, Kelly.
How you doing? Nice jacket.

- Good morning, class.
- Good morning, Miss Simpson.

I said
"Good morning, class."

Didn't your parents
teach you any manners?

Miss Simpson, I have
a doctor's appointment today.

May I leave class early?

Yes, your hair is curly.
Now, let's get started.

Today, we turn
to the romantic poems

of Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

So, let's have Bayside's
most loved couple

recite a poem for us.
Zack and Kelly, if you please.

No! No. Well, I mean,
let's me and Slater read it instead.

Oh, Ms. Spano.
Don't be such a ham.

Here we are.
Begin when ready.

"How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth
and breadth--"

Mr. Morris!
This is a love poem.

This time recite it slower
and with feeling.

(nervous laugh)

"How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.

I love thee to the depth--"

And I love thee to stop!
I can't take it anymore!

(whining)

Well, it certainly moved
Mr. Screech.

(all chuckling)

Hey, Screech --
tell me about the time

when Zack made Mr. Belding
think he was going crazy.

It was great. He rigged his office
so that every minutes

his desk would shake
and his pictures would rattle.

You did that?

Then Mr. Belding's running
in and out of his office all day

screaming, "Earthquake!"

You should have been there, Slater.
He got so whacked out,

he called Caltech
and tried to convince them

there was a faultline
underneath his desk.

I'll bet. That's beautiful.
Hey, Zack, you are an artiste.

- You think so?
- Definitely. Yeah.

(movie music playing)

I'm glad we came, guys.
It was a good idea.

- Psst, Slater?
- What?

Slater!

Hey, shut up, man.
I'm trying to watch the movie.

Yeah, shut up, Screech.

(low)
"Eff-Jay and elly-Kay."

"On't-day, et-lay,
ack-Zay, ee-say."

- What-ay?
- Oy vey.

What's going on?

Screech is starting
to feel real sick.

I am? Oh yeah.
Oh, my pancreas!

All:
Shh!

(tires screeching)

(g*nshots, woman screams)

(squeals)
Oh, no!

I'm outta here.

When I was four years old,
my father promised me

anything I wanted for my
Sweet Sixteen birthday party.

- So?
- So, he let me down.

- Well, what do you want?
- MC Hammer.

Lisa, aren't you
overdoing it a bit?

Girl, I turn once.

It's gonna be the social event
of the season.

Oh, do you want me
to jump out of the cake, babe?

No, I'd like you to jump
into the cake while it's baking.

What's up, guys?

Lisa, about your party,
I just can't make it.

What are you talking about?
Everybody's gonna be there.

That's the problem.
Kelly will be there too.

Of course she is.
She's coming with--

Oh-hh...

(together)
"Oh-hh..."

Yeah, "Oh-hh."
Sorry, Lisa.

Zack, what happened?
You were doing fine yesterday.

Sure, right up until
I caught them at the movies.

People go to the movies
all the time.

Yeah, but most people
come up for air.

(mimics kissing)

Hi, guys.
Hi, Zack.

- Bye, guys.
- (Screech grumbles)

- What's wrong with him?
- As if you didn't know.

Why are you ruining Zack's life?

Whoa. What are you
talking about?

Zack was
at the movies last night.

People go to the movies
all the time.

But not all of them make out
in front of their ex-boyfriends.

We were not making out.
We were just cuddling.

You know, Kelly, I'd hoped
you'd be a little more sensitive.

- At least you've got somebody.
- Yeah.

What am I supposed to do?
Call ahead before I go anyplace

- to see if Zack's there?
- Both: Yes.

You're the one who told me
to be honest with him about Jeff.

- Now you're telling me to hide it?
- Both: Yes!

If you two are sharing a brain,
why don't you get one that works?

(slams)

I've got to keep
my mind off of Kelly.

So I'm going to do something
I've never done before --

(taps)
homework.

Bad idea.

I know.
Television.

Announcer: Next on
"Married with Children,"

Kelly dumps her boyfriend
for a French fry chef.

Too much television
is bad for you anyway.

Radio announcer: Next time
your secretary leaves you hanging,

call us.
We're the Kelly Girls.

- (radio off)
- Gosh.

- (knocking on door)
- Please, just go away.

Hey, Zack.
We came to cheer you up.

Listen, guys, I have to work
this out on my own.

Zack, you're Bayside's
most eligible bachelor.

I've got a list with girls
who want to go out with you.

Maybe I don't want to go out
with anyone, all right?

Look, Preppie, you can't spend
the rest of your life in your room.

Well, I don't know, Slater.
It's a pretty nice room.

Zack, you don't see Kelly sitting
around being depressed, do you?

- Oh, cheer me right up.
- Face it. It's over.

Maybe you're right. If Kelly
doesn't care, why should I, right?

- Slater: Right.
- Bring on the babes.

Great. I know this girl who
would love to go out with you.

Her name is Sue and besides being
pretty, she's got a great mind.

And she loves to read
so she's got a lot to say.

Like, I figured Danielle Steel must
be writing all of Jackie Collins'

romance novels because,
like, they're all the same.

Well, not exactly the same.
I mean, they have to be,

like, a little bit different
or everybody would know.

(tires screeching, g*nshots)

(woman screams)

Have you read "Hollywood Wives"?

Jessie: You have got
to go out with Cassie.

She's got a great personality
and an insatiable hunger for life.

You know, after the movie,
we should go to Antonio's.

I have this craving for a big bowl
of spaghetti and meatballs.

(g*nshots, woman screams)

(gasps)
I'm out of popcorn!

Screech: You never met
my cousin Kimberly, did you?

A lot of guys think she's cute,
if you like that long-legged,

gorgeous, blonde ballerina type.

Oh, he's so mean.
I hope they catch him.

(tires screeching, g*nshots)

(woman screams)

Oh no!

Kim, how would you feel
about a burger after the movie?

I know a great place
where we can go.

Kelly, are you gonna
get that table tonight,

or were you waiting
to serve them breakfast?

Let 'em starve.

Why don't you make up
with your friends?

You're acting like a bunch
of high school kids.

We are a bunch
of high school kids, okay?

You've known them a lot longer
than you've known me.

Come on. Go over and straighten
this out and you'll all feel better.

- Maybe you're right.
- Okay.

Hi, guys.
How ya doin'?

Slater: Okay. I'll have
a double cheeseburger.

- Girls: Cheeseburger.
- Do you have any specials?

- Cheeseburger.
- How's Zack doing?

See? You guys are wrong.
She does remember his name.

Well, this is the place.
Hey, look who's here.

Kimberly, I want you to meet
some of my friends.

This is Jessie, this is Slater,
this is Lisa, and you know Screech.

Hey, cuz. Missed you
at Aunt Gertrude's birthday party.

We played "Pin the Tail
on Uncle Fred" again.

- Hi, Zack.
- Oh, hi. I'm glad you're here.

Can you get us a table?
Something really romantic.

Yeah, sure.
Right this way.

See you guys later.

Wow! Look at him.
He's really happy.

How could you be related to her?

- Well, she's adopted.
- Slater: Oh, that makes sense.

- Come on, Zack. Let me order.
- Let's split a milkshake.

One chocolate milkshake
with two straws.

Would you like to dance?

- I'd love to.
- All right.

(romantic instrumental music playing)

Whoa.

That's "A- " --
Zack and Kelly's song.

Why would he do that?
That's so cruel.

To get even with her.

What a creep.
Kelly does not deserve that.

She didn't deserve
to be snubbed by us either.

Right.

Excuse me, Zack.
Can we talk?

This will only take one second.

So, what's up, Kimber--
oh, I'm sorry, Kelly.

Zack, this is our song, A- .
It's sacred.

No, no, no.
A- was sacred.

Right up until you
dumped me for that jerk.

Don't you dare call him a jerk.
You don't even know Jeff.

Right now,
the only jerk I see is you.

My gosh, can you believe her?
I told her I wanted

a strawberry shake instead
and she gets all upset.

I heard every word, you creep.

How dare you use me to get back
at your old girlfriend?

No, no, wa-- ugh!

Kelly...

I'm really sorry about the way
I've been treating you.

Yeah, me too.
I've been narrow-minded,

judgmental and pigheaded.

You were just being yourself.

I deserved that.
I did.

Kelly, can you ever forgive us?

Just don't make it a habit.
Now give me a hug.

- Lisa: Thank you.
- Uh, I'll see you guys later.

- Oh, rats! Is Kelly gone?
- Cut it out, Zack.

After what she did, I can't believe
you're still talking to her.

That's not fair. Don't make us
choose between you and Kelly.

Yeah.
You're way out of line.

She wasn't out of line
when she smacked me?

If I were Kelly, you'd still be pulling a
hairbrush out of your ear.

Don't get me started.

It was your fault for bringing
your date there.

You're the ones
who convinced me to date again.

Jessie: But we didn't tell you
to rub Kelly's face in it.

You really hurt her and you did it
on purpose. That really stinks.

I hope you'll be
more mature at my party.

The only way I'll come to your
party is if you disinvite Kelly.

That's it.

Look, Kelly is my friend too,
and she's gonna be at my party.

If you can't accept that,
then don't come.

That's fine.
Then I won't go.

(slams)

Take back your jacket,
your sweater,

your lucky pom-poms,
and your stupid volleyball--

Hey, hey, hey. Hey!
What is going on, here?

Zack, this is not your bedroom.
Clean this mess up.

Why don't you clean it yourself?

My office.
Now.

(knocking)

Come on, Zack. We don't want
to be late for Lisa's party.

I'm not going.
Here, give this to Lisa for me.

Let's go. Get dressed and you
can give it to her yourself.

I said I am not going.
Do you have an earwax buildup?

But it's gonna be a blast.

There's even gonna be
a Jell-O mold of Michael Jackson.

If we jiggle it, it'll moonwalk
across the potato salad.

Thanks, Screech.
But after the way I've been acting,

you're probably the only one
that wants me there.

You think we're gonna stop being
your friend because you messed up?

- Well...
- You mess up all the time.

It's what you do best.

But this time
I really acted like an idiot.

If you can't be an idiot
with your friends,

who can you be an idiot with?

- Come on, let's go party.
- I don't think so. Not this time.

Well, okay,
but you're being an idiot.

Remember, it's better to be
dumped by the best-looking girl

than to have never
been dumped at all.

(dance music plays)

(doorbell rings)

- Hey, Lisa.
- Hi.

- Happy birthday.
- Thanks.

A mini-skirt!
Thanks.

- Hey, Lisa. Happy Birthday.
- Thanks.

Wow! A charm bracelet!
Thanks!

Happy birthday, Lisa. I poked
holes in it so he can breathe.

- Is Zack coming?
- Uh, no. He stayed home.

That's probably safer,
'cause Kelly's bringing Jeff.

- Did he send a present?
- Yup.

But my present ate it.
I'm sorry.

(doorbell rings)

Happy Sweet Sixteen, Lisa.

Oh, I wasn't expecting
earrings, Kelly, thank you.

Hi, we haven't been formally
introduced.

- I'm Lisa Turtle.
- Hi, Jeff Hunter.

- Thanks for inviting me.
- Sure.

Well, we're gonna go say hi
to everybody. Bye.

Hi, guys.
You all know Jeff.

So, Slater, Kelly
tells me you wrestle.

- Yeah.
- I used to wrestle in high school.

- Were you any good?
- Won my division a few times.

Really?
We should talk.

- All right.
- All right then.

Jeff, when I first found out
about you and Kelly,

I didn't want
to give you a chance,

but if you're good enough for her,
you're good enough for me.

Hey, thank you.

- All right, Jeff.
- We'll talk...

Well, even though
I'm supposed to hate you

'cause you stole
my best friend's woman,

I guess you're not
a sleazeball after all.

Thanks, Screech.
I'm gonna go get some punch.

- Lisa, where's Zack?
- He's not coming.

I never meant to hurt him.

We know, Kelly.
He'll get over it.

I hope so.

Jessie:
♪ Happy birthday to you.. ♪

All:
♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

♪ Happy birthday,
dear Lisa ♪

♪ Happy birthday
to you ♪

(applause)

One more time!
♪ Happy birthday to.. ♪

Sorry I'm late, Lisa.
Happy birthday.

Thanks, Zack. I wasn't
even expecting you.

A good friend convinced me
I was being an idiot.

Excuse me, I have to go
settle something.

Please don't mess up my party.

- Hi, Zack.
- Hi.

Look... I'm sorry for the way
I treated you.

I was more hurt than I thought
and didn't know how to deal with it.

I noticed.

You are a very hard girl
to get over, Kelly.

But I'd rather have you as a friend
than not have you at all.

Oh, Zack.

Hey, congratulations, Jeff.

You got a great girl.
Treat her right.

Hey, you got it, man.

One of the hardest things
about being a teenager

is losing your first love.

I don't know if I'll ever
get over Kelly.

Excuse me. Do you believe
in love at first sight?

On the other hand, I absolutely
believe in love at first sight.
