Saw your lips, I heard your voice.

Believe me, I just had no choice.

Wild horses couldn't make me stay away.

I thought about a moonlit night.

Arms around you, good and tight.

That's all I had to see for me to say.

Hey, hello, Mary Lou.

Goodbye, heart.

Goodbye, heart.

Sweet Mary Lou, I'm so in love with you.

Hello, Mary Lou.

We never part.

So hello, Mary Lou.

Goodbye, heart.

So hello, Mary Lou.

Goodbye, heart.

Let's go get some punch, huh?

Come on, Mal.

Well, guys, tonight's the night we've all been waiting for.

The DG sorority chooses their king.

Want to hear my acceptance speech?

No.

You'll thrill to it later.

Hey, what makes you think you're going to win, Mal?

Remember, I've been dating Wendy,
and she's head of the selection committee.

That's just it.

You're taken.

They don't want you.

They want someone available.

Someone they could dream about at night.

They're going to dream about you, Ralph?

Why not?

I do.

Can I have your attention?

I don't want any of this punch.

I'm going to go get some ginger ale.

Ginger ale?

Oh, Rich, don't forget you have to drive home tonight.

You already are.

Hey, Bullfrog, uh, ginger ale, please.

Gotcha.

There you go.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Can I have your attention?

See ya.

Can I have your attention, please?

Hi, Potsie.

Gather round, everybody.

It's time to crown this year's sweetheart
of the sorority, the Delta Gamma King!

All right, Pots, now remember, whatever
happens, the loser should act like a gentleman.

Absolutely.

We'll know in a second.

The 1961 Delta Gamma King is...

Richie Cunningham!

Six, six, six, six, six!

Yay!

Congratulations, Rich!

Re-count, re-count!

Aw, shh!

Well, it couldn't hurt.

They're doing all the big elections.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen.

Hello!

Hi!

Yeah!

Ladies and gentlemen.

Ha, ha, ha.

I'd love to be able to say that I didn't
expect this award tonight, but honestly, I can't.

I mean, who else could have won it?

Ralph or Potsie?

Ha, ha, ha!

Ralph or Potsie?

Ha, ha, ha!

Why did he have to say that?

No, no, no, no.

But seriously, seriously, and in total
honesty, I want to thank you for this award.

I mean, it's not every night you get to
put a cheap piece of tinfoil on your head.

Ha, ha, ha!

Is he trying to be funny?

All right, all right, all right.

Listen, I got to tell you what Ralph bet me tonight.

He bet me he would be making
out... with Gina Dante by 10 O'clock.

That's right, he said she was a pushover.

No, wait, Gina, Gina, that's not true.

No, no, I said I was a pushover.

Oh, Rich, why are you doing this to me?

Hey, come on, Ralph, where's your joie de vivre, huh?

What's the matter?

Aren't you the life of the party?

Ha, ha, ha.

Let's have a nice hand for our new kid.

Hey, that's right.

Oh, no.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute,
I got to ask you something.

Is it true that you're always begging Potsie to marry you?

What?

Mitch, will you give me a break?

Are you through?

No, no, music, music, the king wants
music, out of my way, I can play these.

Be careful.

Oh, the kick is up.

It's good.

Are you nuts?

That's my bass drum, I can't believe you did that.

Well then, one more time for the Chacho.

Ha, ha, no good.

Wait a minute, Chacho, wait, he's drunk.

Drunk on what, Jezreel?

Get him off the stage.

You know something, Wendy?

What?

I'm a man.

Hey, buddy, who do you think you're kissing?

Richard!

Hey, hey, Lori Beth.

Nice outfit.

Oh, I know why you wore this outfit, huh?

We all know why she wore this outfit.

So I could go on naval maneuvers.

I knew you'd love it.

All right, ladies, who's next?

Who wants to kiss mine?

Who?

I still got it, huh, Ralph?

I still got it.

All right, all right, come on.

What the heck's the matter with you?

Why don't you just cool off, huh?

Cool off?

Yeah, yeah, that's a great idea.

I got to cool off.

Out of my way here, yeah.

I can't take it anymore, Barry.

What's Fonzie doing?

He's tearing my lawn to shreds.

Fonzie!

What time is it anyway?

Oh, three O'clock.

The motorcycle noise wakes you up here.

No, Dad's yelling woke me up.

Fonzie, you get in here this minute.

Dad's talking to Fonzie like that?

Well, it's about time, too.

It comes from not proper upbringing.

That's what it is.

That's his problem.

It always goes back to the way the child is raised.

Fonzie, you get in here at once.

I'm here.

Well, it's about time.

Now, you get out there and stop riding around on your bike.

What are you doing here?

Hey, look out!

Look out!

Go!

Richard, turn that thing off!

Fill it up, Sonny, and get the windshield, will ya?

Oh, my!

Yep, it always goes back to how a child is raised.

Don't you remember you nearly got k*lled
on your own bike a year ago?

Sure, oh, this is totally different, though, Fonz.

Tonight I'm wearing flippers.

Howard, Howard, Richard is drunk.

And where are the rest of his clothes?

It must have been some swell party, huh, Richard?

You better breathe on me, Richard.

Dad, you are getting so weird.

There's no alcohol on his breath, Marion.

Of course there's no alcohol on my breath.

Are you kidding?

Lips that touch wine shall never gather moss, huh?

Nobody rides my motorcycle but me.

She is very sensitive.

I know she's very sensitive.

That's why I thought it was about time
somebody rode her right.

Somebody rode her right.

No, no, wait, hey, Fonz, Fonz, Fonz.

I got a present for you.

I got a...

My Fender.

He has dismantled and dented my Fender.

Yeah.

Well, you can fix that, Fonzie.

You know, just pound it out.

Oh, yeah, I'm going to pound it out.

I'm going to borrow his head.

Get off there.

Oh, sure, sure.

Get off there.

You want to go a few rounds?

Come on.

Wait a minute.

Richard, you stop that.

Pretty good, Mom.

Now tell him to roll over.

Oh, he's fainted.

He's passed out.

Here, hold this.

Oh, Howard, do something.

Come on, Fonzie.

Help me get him upstairs.

Come on, then, Richard.

Boy, tomorrow morning, you better have an
explanation for all of this.

Yeah.

Mom, I can't believe Richie came home without any pants on.

Now you can see how important it is to
wear clean underwear.

You sit right down there, and we want you
to tell us exactly what happened last night.

Oh, yeah.

You know, I'm real glad you and Mom are interested.

I was crowned king of the DGs last night.

Just call me your highness.

Well, go on.

Well, you know, I went up and made my
acceptance speech, and then...

And then what?

And then I...

I can't seem to remember.

I guess that was about it.

Well, dear, dear, are you all right?

Oh, Mom, I'm fine, but I really do have to
get going, you know.

Get out there and mingle with my royal subjects.

Richard!

Oh, Dad.

Dad, the lawn looks terrible.

You've really been letting this place slide.

He didn't explain anything.

Devil or angel, I can't make up my mind.

Which one you want?

Hi, honey.

Hey, O.B.

Anybody home?

Not you.

What's the matter?

Oh, nothing.

I just love being humiliated.

Who humiliated you?

Why don't you think about it?

Your father?

Richard, I'd rather we didn't see each other for a while.

I'll be returning your ceramic donkey.

Not Peppy.

Can you believe Lori Beth?

Get lost.

Now, wait a minute, Mal.

If Richie here wants to apologize, let's give him a chance.

You're right, Pops.

Okay.

Okay, Rich.

Go ahead.

Apologize.

For what?

Get lost.

Don't you have anything to say about last night?

Oh, last night.

I had a great time last night.

Get lost.

Great time.

Any guy who would do what you did to the
girl of a guy who considered that guy his

best pal is not the kind of guy this guy wants to talk to.

What does that mean?

Get lost.

Maybe I ought to go out and come back in.

You're half right.

Hey, Chachi, can I have some of your malt?

I'm real thirsty.

You want some of my malt?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure, Rich.

It'll be a pleasure.

Okay.

How's that?

Fine.

I'll drink it later.

Great.

All right, give.

What's the big joke?

Hi, Fonz.

Hi, Fonz.

Instantaneous explanation.

Instantaneous explanation for what?

All right.

You heard him.

I gave him a shot.

There's going to be a fight.

Just between you and me, Rich.

It's going to be short but ugly.

Anybody's eyes that are allergic to the
color red, step outside to the parking lot.

Anybody want to go?

No.

It's a bloodthirsty group.

All right.

Here we go.

You and me.

Fonzie, wait a second.

What are you asking for?

A last request?

Right.

I can dig it.

Right.

Okay.

Now, look.

It's pretty obvious to me I'm going to get beat up here.

Yeah.

You got it.

All right.

All right.

All I'd like to know is why.

Okay?

Would somebody just tell me why?

Get lost.

You want to know why?

You're standing there and honestly asking me why.

I have no idea why everybody is so mad at me, Fonzie.

Okay.

All right.

Fine.

If I did something that was that terrible, go ahead.

Hit me.

I probably deserve it.

Just go ahead.

Hit.

All right.

Don't move so much.

A little higher.

Can't hit him.

Why not, Fonzie?

Because something's going wacko here.

That's why.

We're going private.

Private.

Private.

Take a walk.

Conversate with me.

All right.

Last night, I was named king of the Delta Gammas.

Today, I'm a hated man.

I'm not interested in your social life.

Tell me what happened last night.

Okay.

I won the award.

I was very pleased about that.

All the girls were clapping.

I went up to make my speech.

And then... Yeah.

I was very pleased about that.

And then what?

I always forget when I get to that part.

I don't know.

I suppose I went home and went to bed.

What else?

Well, how much did you drink last night?

Oh, I didn't drink fine.

Stupid question.

Oh, I did have a ginger ale at the party.

Oh, and I had a glass of milk at home before I went
to the party, you know, in case I did do any drinking.

It's always a good idea if you think you might drink.

Oh, will you stop this?

Ginger ale and milk?

Yeah.

You're not supposed to mix your drinks, Richie.

All right.

Well, so where'd you get this ginger ale from?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know.

I was at a bar.

Did you pour it yourself?

No.

Well, who was tending bar?

Bullfrog.

Bullfrog.

He said his first name was his last name.

I think it's both.

You mean like Fabian?

Yeah.

All right.

You get along with this guy?

Well, no.

Not really.

He always greets me by shaking my face.

I think we better have a little chat with
this fraternity brother of yours.

Sure, sure.

We can do that.

Oh, come on.

Richie, cheer up.

I ain't gonna smash you in the face.

Oh, yeah.

I know you're not Fonz, and I appreciate that.

Fonzie, all my friends hate me.

My girl.

My very, very best friends.

Do you know what it's like to be a hated man?

Now, how would I know something like that?

Cute.

Very, very cute.

This is a cute, darling room.

All right.

Is this the fraternity that has the famous bullfrog?

I'm looking for bullfrog.

That's me.

Now that I see, I'm so sorry I didn't
bring my autograph book.

Come here for a minute.

You're the guy that pulled that wonderful
stunt on my friend Cunningham, huh?

You did that, didn't you?

What stunt?

I don't know nothing about no stunt, man.

Oh, come on.

I'm looking around this room here.

There's nobody that could have thought of it but you.

Huh?

You're so smart.

You slipped something right through his ginger ale, right?

Yeah.

You know that Cunningham?

Yeah.

He's so good.

And he doesn't even live here and he makes
the beds every morning.

And then you just kind of slipped it right in there.

Yeah.

That's what I wanted to know, Toad.

Bullfrog.

I won't forget it.

I want to tell you, you better get my battery.

Because we've got to jumpstart this kid's brain.

Well, thank you, Fonz.

I think I can handle it from here on out.

I'm just going to sit here and watch.

Bullfrog.

Hey, Cunningham.

You feeling better this morning, you say?

Yes.

Bullfrog.

I'm very disappointed in you.

ATO has given you a lot of chances.

Yes, you're an excellent fullback.

So we didn't say anything when you blew up our piano.

And the fact that we were having a group sing-along
at the time made that very difficult to overlook.

We have been patient, Bullfrog.

Now, I want to know if you have any
explanation for what you did to me last night.

Well, you know, I do have one.

Well, I'd like to know what it is.

No, Bullfrog.

No, no, this is not going to solve anything.

Well, that's pretty immature.

Fonzie?

Yeah, I'm right here.

You're there.

Yeah.

I want you to get this off me, Fonzie, because I
want to k*ll him, and I can't k*ll him if I can't see him.

All right, all right, take it easy.

Now, look, Richie, Richie, calm down, huh?

Now, this seems to be one of the
situations right up my alley.

Is it all right?

Is there a possibility I might step in now for a minute?

All right?

No.

I'm over here, sit down in this chair, relax.

All right.

Fonzie?

Yeah?

This is so embarrassing.

All right, let me get this thing off you.

Hey, I'll see you later, pal.

No, no, no, don't go away, don't go away, don't go away.

No, no, I got to practice for the big game.

Yeah, games, games, games, you like games.

Sure.

Well, let me tell you something,
the party hasn't even started yet.

I got a great game, you never saw this game before.

I want you to take your left hand,
put it right in this pocket right here.

I want you to take your right hand,
put it right in that pocket over there, huh?

Is this great?

Yeah, now what?

Here, watch this.

Hey, you know, that is really very good.

I can't move my hands enough.

That's right.

Okay, now what?

Now, I'm going to just chalk up my knuckles here.

And I am going to bank your nose right
there in the side pocket.

No, wait.

Hey, wait.

You can't hit me now.

I mean, look, I can't move my hands enough
and I'm helpless.

You're helpless just like my friend was last
night when you slipped that garbage in his drink.

Oh, come on.

All I put in his drink was just... I don't
want to know what you put in his drink.

You put something in your drink and that's stupid.

You put something in somebody else's drink
and that's pathetic.

He was riding around on a motorcycle.

He could have died last night.

Do you understand that?

Yes, I do.

And that's enough talk, huh?

Just close your eyes and kiss your nose goodbye.

Hey, guys, come on.

Help me.

Hey, remember, we're brothers now.

Bullfrog, we already warned you that if you
pulled another stunt on somebody, you're out of ATO.

Oh, come on.

Can't you guys take a joke?

We did.

You.

And you just lost your membership, pal.

Now, just stay there while I call the Dean.

Thanks, Fonzie.

Hey.

Take care of me.

I want to tell you something.

You ought to thank your friends there, you know?

A minute later, your head would have been net.

Thanks, fellas.

Let's go, Rich.

Oh, Fonz?

Fonz, could you get this off my head now?

I almost forgot.

All right.

Oh, wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Is it going to hurt?

Well, don't be silly.

Of course it's going to hurt.

Oh, my God.

Are you going to tell them about Bullfrog or not?

What?

Beg everybody to be my friend again?

It's up to you.

Come on, Chachi.

Let's get started with the rehearsal.

Well, I'll tell you the truth, Rich.

Me and the guys had a meeting, and we all seemed
to feel that the group was just a little bit too large.

So we took a vote and decided to cut down by one.

I suppose I'm the one who's out.

Oh, your name did come up.

Fonzie, I can't believe this.

I mean, I can't believe... If you've got something on
your mind, then you just tell everybody about it, all right?

You're right.

Okay, everybody, gather in here, please.

Lori Beth, Wendy, Chachi, you two,
get over here and sit down.

I would just like a half a minute of your time, please.

Time them, Potsie.

Right.

All right, look.

I acted.

I acted.

I acted terribly last night, and I'm very
sorry if I embarrassed anyone,

but I can't believe that after all these
years, I can't be forgiven for one bad night.

I always thought your friends were supposed to
stick behind you when you needed them the most.

I guess I was wrong.

So I'm gonna go pack up my saxophone,
and I'm gonna clear out of your lives.

Time.

Pots.

I think that was a hit.

I agree.

I think that was a heck of a speech,
and I'm very proud to be your only friend.

Do any of you feel as low as I do?

Lower.

I timed him.

Something must of really been bothering him last night.

Maybe he was sick.

You know, he did loan me the money to buy those drums.

That's right.

Come on.

Let's go.

Hey, Rich.

We all feel.

Yeah, we really didn't.

Yeah, especially me, Rich.

I mean, I shouldn't have done what I did.

I was the worst.

It was.

We all feel the same.

This is pathetic.

Fonzie's right.

We should just say what we came up here to say.

Yeah.

We're sorry.

Really?

You're sorry?

You're apologizing?

Yeah.

And you don't need any explanations for last night?

Rich, we're sure you had a reason.

That's good enough for us.

Hello!

Hello!

Well, let's play another.

Yeah, let's play another.

Hey, hey, wait a second.

Guys, you gotta tell me, what exactly did I do last night?

You don't want to know.

It doesn't really matter.

Rich, it's completely forgotten.

Just don't let it happen again.

I'm deeply touched.

Let's dance.

Okay.

One, two, three.

Let's twist again, like we did last summer.

Yeah, let's twist again, like we did last year.

Do you remember when things were really humming?

Yeah, let's twist again, twistin' time is here.

These happy days are yours and mine.

Black grey sky, hello blue.

It's nothing can hold me when I hold you.

It feels so right.

It feels so right.

It can't be wrong, rockin' and rollin' all week long.

These days are ours, happy and free,
these days are ours, share them with me,

these happy days are yours and mine, these
happy days are yours and mine, happy days.
