Hang on to your hats, you big boppers,
because we're going to be rocking.

We're going to be rocking and rolling this
joint in just one minute, all right?

Hi, Potsie.

Oh, hi, Loretta.

You going to watch us play?

Sure.

I'll be right over there.

Oh, great, great.

See you later.

She hates my guts.

Did I miss something here?

Did you ever go out with a girl you really wanted to
impress, and all you could do is make a fool out of yourself?

Have you been reading my diary?

Have you been reading my diary?

Well, let's see.

I'm not too late for the entertainment.

Oh, no, Fonz.

You haven't even started yet.

Don't flatter yourself.

I was talking about her.

Oh, uh, God, we'll be back in just a minute, okay?

All right.

Fonz, uh, I really need to talk to you.

Yeah.

Will you be okay?

Later.

All right, I'm all ears.

What's on your mind?

Well, it's not my problem.

It's, uh, it's Potsie.

Fonz.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's just that Potsie's trying to impress
this girl, Loretta.

You know, and I thought that a few
praising words from you might just do the trick.

I don't do tricks.

You want tricks, get a dog.

I wouldn't bother you on this, Fonz.

I really wouldn't.

But I think Potsie's in love.

Potsie is falling in love?

Yeah.

What a lucky son.

So, will you do it, huh?

All right, but I gotta work up to this, you know?

Yeah.

I mean, I'll go in my office,
I'll splash some cold water on

my face, you know, and you
don't rush into things like this.

Yeah, right.

You know something, Fonz?

I can always count on you.

That's my reputation.

Wait, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'll, uh, I'll say, uh, Potsie, you're about the
coolest guy I ever met in my whole life, you know?

Yeah.

You know, Lone Ranger would do this.

Of course, he's smart enough to wear a mask.

Thanks again, Pots.

Hey, come on, Pots, the show must go on.

Yeah.

All right, guys.

One, two, one, two, three.

Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning
how, come on the safari with me.

Come on the safari with me.

Early in the morning we'll be starting
out, some honeys will be coming along.

We're loading up our Woody with the boards
inside and heading out singing.

Our song, come on, baby, wait and see,
yeah, I'm going to take you surfing with me.

Come along, surf, babe, wait and see,
yeah, I'm going to take you surfing with me now.

Let's go surfing now, everybody's learning
how, come on the safari with me.

Come on the safari with me.

And Huntington and Malibu, they're sh**ting
up here, and Rincon, they're walking the nose.

We're going on safari to the island this year.

So if you're coming, get ready to go.

Come on, baby, wait and see it.

I'm going to take you surfing with me.

Come along, surf, babe.

Wait and see it.

I'm going to take you surfing with me now.

Let's go surfing now.

Everybody's learning how.

Come on and surf on with me.

So if you're coming, get ready to go.

Come on, surf, babe.

Wait and see it.

I'm going to take you surfing with me.

Come along, surf, babe.

Wait and see it.

I'm going to take you surfing with me now.

Let's go surfing now.

Everybody's learning how.

Come on and surf on with me.

Come on and surf on with me.

Fonzie, Laverne DeFazio, Ralph Malph,

Chachi Arcola, Leather Tuscadero, no audience.

We're starting of the way, so we're
looking for somebody new.

Maybe you can help me out.

That's pretty tough.

I can't think of anybody.

I thought you'd like to do it.

Me?

Sure.

Of course, you'd have to audition first for my
partner, but I'm sure you'd be just wonderful.

Me?

How's Friday at noon?

Oh, you name it, I'll be there.

How's Friday at noon?

You name it, I'll be there.

Okay.

See you then.

Yes, see ya, yeah.

What?

Guys!

What happened, Potsie?

Oh, hi, Loretta.

This is the most exciting thing in my life.

Sit down, we gotta talk about this.

This lady came from the Vogue Terrace.

Yeah, something happened, Fonz.

Don't break the mood.

I'm never gonna get in the mood again.

Potsie, you're the coolest guy.

Not now, Fonz.

I'm talking.

Not now.

Fonz, I don't think you're helping to impress her.

You know, you're holding his collar, and you look bad.

He just said, not now, right to my face.

Oh, no, Fonz, I'm sorry.

I'm just so excited.

I gotta rent a tux, get new pictures,
get arrangements, boy, everything.

I'm sorry, Fonz.

Come on, Loretta.

Oh, this is so exciting.

I can't believe this is happening.

What?

We just got an audition at the Vogue Terrace.

Can you believe that?

Never can tell what card the old deck of
fate's gonna do you next.

When you're talking about cards for a time
like this, the man just said, not now, to me.

I think I've got a headache.

You've got a headache?

Betty, my place, now.

I'm getting better.

I'm getting better.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the most
dynamic talent in America today,

a man whose voice is a national treasure, the
astonishing Mr. Show Business himself, Warren Weber.

I can't read that.

Oh, that's close.

Oh, dear, if you don't like it, why did you write it?

I didn't write it.

Potsie wrote it.

And after I say it, I'm supposed to jump
up and down and do the splits.

Did you see it?

Did you see this gigantic billboard?

No.

Huge billboard of Potsie on Benton Drive.

He's smiling, looking down at you, bigger than life.

Scared the daylights out of him.

Well, I don't know.

I think this is just wonderful.

I am so happy for Warren.

He does have a lovely voice.

Oh, Arthur, my goodness.

What happened?

Are you all right?

Tell us what happened.

You might think this is wacko, but I'm cruising on my bike.

I'm having a great time.

I'm rounding Benton Drive.

Uh-oh.

Then all of a sudden, looming up in front
of me is Potsie, two stories high.

He's got teeth as big as your front door.

But Ben, the bike ate my pants and tree ate my face.

Well, that was Potsie, Fonz.

It's a big billboard of them.

Yeah.

My collar don't go up no more.

I want to tell you something.

He made me fall off my bike.

I'm going to k*ll him.

Later, later, Arthur.

Now, dear, I'm going to take you upstairs, and I'm going
to put Mother Kelp's homemade remedy on these guys.

Oh.

What?

What?

It's going to sting, right?

Yeah.

I'm going to get him for this.

I'm going to get him for this.

All right, Fonz, there's two words to remember here.

Forgive and forget.

Oh, no, I got two better words.

Seek and destroy.

Listen, I'm going to go out and water the lawn.

I don't want to be around when Mother
Kelp's remedy burns the daylights out of Fonz.

Stand back, stand back.

Give the man some room.

He's practicing to be my flunky.

Is this guy bothering you, Potts?

Ralph, he lives here.

It's not easy being a good flunky.

Don't worry about it, Ralph.

You'll make it.

See you, Mr. C.

Listen, Rich.

I didn't want to say anything in front of
your father, but do you think your playing

can improve enough in the next two days to
back me at the Vogue Terrace?

Improve enough?

Don't upset him, Rich.

Yeah.

Yeah, don't you worry, Pots.

My playing is going to be just fine.

I'm going to work on it.

Good kid.

Where's Fonzie?

Potsie, he's not in a good mood.

Oh, he will be when he finds out he's
going to be my manager.

He's going to be your what?

Who else would I want to stand behind me at the audition?

Well, uh, all right.

How about your father?

Oh, I asked him.

He couldn't make it.

That's the day his new shipment of maps
arrives at the gas station.

That's pitiful.

They're pretty neat maps.

Well, listen, I'll go tell Fonzie good news.

No, Pots, uh, tell you what.

Don't go upstairs because, uh, Joanie's up there.

She's indecent, you know.

I'm right here, Rich.

Oh, you're back.

Uh, no, you're going upstairs, right?

You're going up there to get indecent, right?

Just five minutes ago, before you came,
she said, I'm going up, I'm going to be indecent.

You know, you better just slow down.

You're heading for a room covered with rubber wallpaper.

Bing, bing, bing!

All right, why don't you go back to your
apartment and take it easy, okay?

Uh, Ralph, come on.

Move it, move it.

Ralph.

The door.

Right, Pots.

Keeps you busy being a flunky.

And don't you worry, I'll tell Fonzie the good news.

What are you talking about, good news?

Oh, no, Fonz, great news.

Oh, yeah, your father's maps come in?

No.

Listen, I told him at the Vogue Terrace, you're my manager.

Just think, if I get really big,
you can work for me forever.

Good kid.

Come on, Pots.

Let's go.

I'll drive, you sit in the back.

Uh, by the way, Fonz, you look terrible, man.

If you're gonna work for me, you gotta clean yourself up.

Work for him forever, huh?

What is he, crazy?

Work for Potsie forever?

Uh, you're getting upset, Fonz?

I'm on my way.

He slapped me.

Yeah, well, he slapped me, too.

Okay.

Now, listen, the audition's tomorrow.

We got a lot to do.

How about some of those dance steps?

Uh, left foot.

Left foot, right, all right.

All right, what about your favorite hobby?

Yeah, uh, big game hunting.

No, I want to put down the truth.

Big game hunting.

You like to follow popsicle sticks down
the gutter after a big rain.

Now, that's the truth.

Big game hunting.

Potsie.

Come on, put it down there.

Big game hunting.

Big game hunting.

Hundred, hundred and twenty-one.

A man walks into a bar, a bar with a
pelican on his head, right?

Hey, come on, now, now, wait a minute, wait.

This is not a meeting hall.

Oh, thanks, Josh.

Sorry, but I need the bathroom.

Well, help yourself, Al.

No, not for me.

It's for my customers.

They're lined up out there.

Just a few more pictures, Al.

Well, all right.

Go ahead.

Al, for Potsie.

Oh.

You take a good picture, too, Al.

Yeah, I do.

You'll be only a few more minutes.

Yeah, ten more minutes.

Okay.

Smile, Al.

All right, let's get back to the dancing here.

Okay, with the left, right?

Come on, man.

I'm telling the truth about you being born in a hospital.

No, you're not.

Come on, man.

Come on, man.

The pelican says, how do I do?

Man, how do I do?

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

We gotta go.

Can't you people get organized?

What do you think I'm gonna do?

Not now.

Again, not now.

You're gonna be the first singer on Jupiter, you know that?

Oh, Fonzie, my manager, help me.

All right, everybody, give him breathing space.

Kid needs breathing space.

Oh, wait a minute, everyone.

By the way, I saw you rehearse last night.

Very sloppy.

Listen, Rennie Benkel's band's available,
so, uh, shape up or ship out?

Shape up or ship out?

All right, all right, guys, come on.

Uh, Lori Beth, let's go.

Shape up or ship out?

All right.

All right, not you, Red, not you.

Okay, Fonzie, what do I do?

All right, I'm your manager, right?

Yeah.

You listen to me, you're gonna have a great audition.

You go home, take a hot bath, watch
cartoons, don't do anything till tomorrow.

Huh, good, Fonzie.

You're doing a good job, boys, good job.

Fonzie, that showed tremendous restraint.

Oh, yeah.

I'm cool now.

Yeah, well, I'll tell her when she comes in.

What?

That was Rennie Bengo's agent on the phone again.

He said Rennie is willing to forget about
that crazy ask for.

Oh, I love it, I love it.

Well, I knew when he saw that Weber.

Kid's face on that billboard, he'd come
crawling back here on his hands and knees.

My idea.

Oh, yeah, sure.

Well, I think we've let him squirm long enough.

We'll call him tonight and tell him he can
have his job back.

Hey, the Weber kid is here.

Huh?

Well, of course he's here.

He's here because he thinks he's got that job.

Oh, well, we'll let him sing a song, what the heck.

Might be good for a few laughs.

Uh, Miss Patterson, we'll be set up in a minute.

Oh, fine, fine.

All right, Weber, you're going to be great.

I'm here.

Do not get crazed.

Right, Fonz.

Listen, Loretta, you sit with Fonz and
we'll celebrate later.

I can't wait.

See you later, star.

Lucky girl.

Okay, guys, let's get set up, huh?

Hey, look at that, my name, huh?

You see that?

All right, don't let me down.

Let's get the arrangements right.

For our first number, we'd like to do a
little Bobby Darin, Mac the Knife.

Guys, one, two, one, two, three.

Oh, the shark, babe, has such teeth, dear.

And it shows them pearly white.

Just a jackknife as old Mac Heath, babe.

Boy, he's got a fist.

What?

And he keeps it.

Hey, I ordered a lamb on rice with a whole wheat.

You can have some of mine.

Would you relax?

Okay, okay.

I ordered extra mayonnaise.

Where's the extra mayonnaise?

I told him to bring mayonnaise.

And more of the extra pickles.

I asked you for extra pickles.

Fancy gloves, though.

Okay, where's that contract?

Hey, I got an affair.

So there's never, never a trace of red.

How'd you hear about Dewey Miller?

He disappeared.

I love it, I love it.

Isn't that beautiful?

Oh, not one bit.

Oh, where'd he get it?

Oh, where'd he get it?

Oh, where'd he get it?

Could it be your boy's done something rash?

That old jetty diver.

Hey, hey.

Suki Tadre.

Look out for Miss Eladilena.

And go loose and round.

Yeah, that line boy.

Yeah, that line boy.

He comes on the right, babe.

Now that Maggie's back in town.

Look out, old Maggie is back.

Thank you.

Excuse.

Me?

Hmm?

Excuse me, did you like the song?

Oh, are you finished?

Uh, yeah.

Great.

Great, fellas.

Just terrific.

Listen, we rehearsed the ballad.

We can do that for you now.

No, no, that won't be necessary.

Uh-uh.

What do you mean it won't be necessary?

I mean, you have my picture.

We'll be in touch.

You'll be in touch, but you have my picture up on Benson.

Listen, we'll call you.

Don't call us.

All right?

But you said for me to come down and we did a good job.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

I can't believe it.

I blew it.

They hated me.

I'm the biggest loser in the world.

No, Potsie.

You were wonderful.

I guess you don't feel like talking.

Prom she'll call me later.

You were wonderful.

I can't believe it.

You know, I can't believe it.

I know.

This is so stale.

Hmm?

You've got another one.

I know.

I know.

I'm sorry.

Excusez-moi.

Hmm?

It's French.

I just happened to notice from my vantage point
over there that you're not very courteous listeners.

Yeah.

Like there's something rotten going on here in Bangkok.

Who's the hood?

I don't know.

The hood is part of a car.

My name is Arthur Fonzarelli.

I happen to be his manager.

Fine, Mr. Fonzarelli.

Yeah.

Just leave us your card.

I sure will.

Oh!

Now, do you want to explain something to me
before I leave the rest of my cards on your forehead?

That was her idea.

Oh, thanks a lot.

Now, wait a minute.

We don't want any trouble here.

Bernie Benko decided to accept our offer.

Oh, now I get the picture.

Of course, you weren't going to hire Warren.

You just wanted to use him.

Hey, that's okay.

It's not all right.

You can't treat people like that.

This man's a human being with feelings.

Of course, you wouldn't understand that, right?

And he also happens to be a personal friend of mine.

Let's get out of here.

All right, Fonz.

Fonz!

Are you going to do anything to that guy?

Like punch him out or measure him for a
body cast or rub his face against the carpet?

I forgot.

Anything I do to you would be an improvement.

You know?

You know, I never met a woman I didn't like.

Well, thank you.

Until now.

Come on.

Let's go to the office and call Reddy's agent.

You really handled him just great, Eddie.

Well, listen.

I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Guess again.

I'll tell you something.

It's their loss because you were terrific, Potts.

Yeah, Potts, you had all the moves up there.

That's right.

You could sing circles around Renny Benko.

They were using you, Potts.

You didn't have a shot anyway, man.

It's not your fault.

Let's go.

Yeah, let's get out of here.

Hold it.

Hold it.

A short one.

Potts, the doorway is this way.

I feel like a creep.

Why?

I can't believe how nice you guys are
being to me after the way I acted.

I yelled at you.

I threatened I'd replace you with a new band.

I said shape up or ship out.

I've just been a big creep to you guys.

No, you haven't.

Yes, he has.

Why do you have to be so nice all the time?

Well, I guess it's my upbringing.

And my diet.

You know, I read...

I'm interested, but later.

You know something?

I don't even know why you came with me today.

Potts, we've been friends since kindergarten.

You don't blow that in a couple of days.

You know, I wanted this for you as much as you did.

What's the big deal?

I saw you were rough on us for a couple of days.

We could take it.

What do you feel, Fonz?

You know, I'm one lucky guy.

You guys are real special.

Let's get out of here.

Well,

here we are, guys.

Saturday night at Arnold's, huh?

You know, this feels great.

This is home.

Oh, by the way, Loretta's singing with us tonight.

What is this?

Everybody's always got a girlfriend or a
relative or a friend that sings with the band.

I really think it destroys the dignity of our group.

What dignity?

Last week, you played the piano with your feet.

Besides, this band could use a little sex appeal.

Well, what am I, chopped liver?

I see a resemblance.

Hey, guys, talking as the part owner of
this establishment, time is money.

You want to hit it?

All right, Fonz.

Let's go, guys.

Get ready.

For our first number this evening, we're
going to be joined by Miss Loretta Campbell.

Let's give her a hand.

Ready?

Here we go.

One, two, one, two, three.

All my love, all of my kissing,
you don't know what you've been missing.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

When you're with me.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

I got the world to see that you were meant for me.

Take it away.

All my life I've been waiting.

Tonight there'll be no hesitating.

Oh, boy.

When you're with me.

Oh, boy.

I got the world to see that you were meant for me.

Stars appear and the shadows are falling.

You can hear my heart calling.

A little bit of loving makes everything all right.

And I'm going to see my baby tonight.

All my love.

All of my kissing.

You don't know what you've been missing.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

When you're with me.

Oh, boy.

Oh, boy.

I got the world to see that you were meant for me.

Oh, boy.

These happy days are yours and mine.

Happy days.

Goodbye, gray sky.

Hello, blue.

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

It feels so right.

It can't be wrong.

Rahkan and Ro Gesetz always known.

These days are ours, happy and free.

Oh, happy days.

These days are ours, share them with my.

Oh, baby.

These happy days are yours and mine.

These happy days are yours and mine.

Happy days.
