Hey, Fonz, glad you're new.

Said you wanted to see me.

What's up?

I'm very glad to see you, very glad to see you.

How do you spell a custom?

Custom.

A-C-C-U-S-T-O-M-E-D.

Custom.

All right.

Listen, uh, I want you to listen to this letter.

One of my students is applying for a job.

I'm writing him a letter of recommendation, all right?

All right.

Go ahead.

Fire us.

Perk your ears.

Here we go.

To whoever cares.

Bobby Milner is not a bad student.

He don't hit anybody smaller than him,
and I don't think he steals.

He also don't spit when he talks.

Although, that whiny little voice of his
is gonna get on your nerves.

But, don't worry, you'll get accustomed to it.

See, I did.

Knock your socks off.

Arthur Fonzarelli teach you at large.

Little bit of perfection, huh?

Yeah, but, uh, it's not quite... It's not quite perfect.

To me, it's just, like, that far away, huh?

Right.

Hey, what do you say I take this with me,
and, uh, I do just that much to it?

Oh, I appreciate that.

Look, do me a favor, okay?

Just don't show it to anybody till you fix it.

All right, Fonz.

Hey, just this much.

All right, hey.

Okay.

We'll see you later.

Yeah.

Hey, Raji, Raji, leave in the part about,
uh, Bobby not spitting.

They look for kinds of things like that.

All right, don't I know it.

All right.

Hey, Fonz, I'll get this back to you today.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Mr. Phillips?

Oh, hi, Mr. Bell Goody.

How's everything in the biology department?

Phillips, what are you doing in your underwear?

My underwear?

No, these are my gym shorts.

Then why aren't you in the gym?

Excellent idea.

I'm on my way.

Always a pleasure to speak to you, Mr. Bell Goody.

Yes, I know.

Hey, Fonz, good luck.

There you are, Fonzarelli.

Your ballot for the toty.

What is a toty?

I thought that was common knowledge.

It is the award for teacher of the year.

T-O-T-Y, toty.

And I won this already.

Thank you very much.

It's hardly.

This is merely the ballot for the nomination.

But don't waste your time.

They're only for professional teachers.

Good day.

You know, you don't get off my K-7,
not even since I was a student here.

You're not going to forgive me for doing a
wheelie in your class, are you?

And to think, we're both colleagues.

You better get accustomed to it, A-C-C-U-S-T-O-M-E-D.

I'll see you the night of the toties.

Why bother?

If there's one thing I know in my heart, of
hearts, is that you are not going to win, Fonzarelli.

Oh, on the other hand, you're going to win?

That's right.

You see, it's the students who nominate you.

And no matter what they do in my class this
week, I am going to excuse it with a chuckle.

You know, until five minutes ago,
this award meant nothing to me.

Now it's my life.

I'm going to win it.

You understand what I'm talking?

Fonzarelli, you are deluded, ego maniacal, and obnoxious.

You're bald.

Good morning, my little wonders.

Good morning, Mr. Fonzarelli.

Music to my ears.

You know what?

We're always rushing, aren't we, you know?

Let's chat today about stuff that we've
never talked about before.

Maybe we could even look at the whole bulletin board.

All right, let's... Oh, look at this.

Let's talk more about safety here, less about accidents.

The sock hop Saturday.

The sock hop.

The sock hop, guys.

Very clean fun.

Good, good, good, huh?

Look at this.

What have we here?

The nomination for the Toadie Award.

I think that stands for, um, Teacher of the Year Award.

And here it is on our bulletin board.

Isn't that wonderful that some class is going to
nominate their teacher as the best teacher of the year?

Doesn't it warm your heart?

Don't you think about that?

Huh?

Yeah.

The Toadie Awards.

Well, now, Eugene, now you can collect the
homework, all right?

Let's go.

Let's make it snappy, guys.

All right.

I put mine in a laminated plastic folder.

Did you say nominated?

No, laminated.

Laminated.

I've also brought you a year's supply of these
very same folders for your own personal use.

My father owns an office supply store,
and he leaves me in charge at lunch.

I can get anything you want.

Can you get out of my face?

You say it, I do it.

I'm saying it.

And I'm doing it.

All right, now, do I have everybody's
homework here, gentlemen?

I see Tommy's finger go up.

Um, I don't have mine.

You don't have your homework?

My dog ate it.

Your dog?

Your dog ate it?

Your dog ate it.

That's a big dog.

Well, that's all right.

I'm going to excuse this with a little chuckle.

Today, gentlemen, we're going to talk clutches, all right?

Now, if my memory serves me correct, Bobby,
you had trouble with clutches last time, right?

Yeah.

I have canceled my whole afternoon schedule to stay with
you after school so we can go over clutches till you get it.

Oh, I got to leave early today, Fonz.

I got a meeting in a sock hop committee.

I got to split.

A sock hop?

Well, that doesn't seem unreasonable.

What, we've been here together now five, six minutes?

Why don't we just take the whole day off, huh?

Hey, guys, I'm going to be gone for a week.

I got to go to Detroit.

They're going to give me some new manuals
on equipment for my garage.

Have a good week.

Miss me.

And if you don't remember anything else
that we've talked about over these past

few weeks, please remember that Fonzarelli has two L's.

All right.

I'll be out in the hallway here,
and if you find Americans need a ride on

my motorcycle to any place in the
metropolitan area, don't you hesitate to ask, huh?

All right.

Oh, and Fonzie.

Yeah.

When you come back, I have a brand new
assortment of colored rubber bands for you.

Thank you very much.

That's very considerate of you, Gene.

Toady, toady, toady, toady, toady.

What a great guy.

Thank you.

Hey, Joanie, what do you say we turn off
the TV and think of something else to do?

Hmm?

Oh, sure.

Go right ahead.

I just thought of something we could do.

What?

Oh, calm down, woman.

You're getting way too excited here.

I'm sorry.

You know, my father doesn't like it when we neck.

Yeah, but you just told me you went to the
Leopard Lodge meeting with your mother.

Well, he did.

I just have the feeling that he's lurking
in the bushes watching me.

That's weird.

I know.

Well, let me see if I can take your mind off it.

Hmm.

Kids.

What?

Fonz.

I'm sorry.

I don't mean to interrupt, but I'm under a
lot of pressure, you know?

You think you're under pressure?

Yeah.

Look, I think I'm going to be nominated
for the Toadie Award.

Teacher of the Year.

Fonz, that's great.

I think so, too, you know?

But listen, that's not all of it.

I got to go to Detroit, see?

Uh-huh.

So, I ain't going to be here for the final vote.

You got to campaign for me, help me win.

Yeah, Fonz, we'll be glad to.

Yeah.

Well, you better get going.

You don't want to miss your plane, do you?

Yeah, right, right.

You don't mind doing this?

Oh, it'll be fun.

Yeah, right.

Yeah, it'll be fun.

You know, there is a Marlon Brando film on.

You don't want to watch that.

No.

No, no, all right.

Just resume, you know what I mean?

Have fun, Fonz.

Hey, thank you.

See you later, bud.

All right, I'll catch you later.

Okay.

Sorry.

Now.

Where were we?

Right here.

Excuse me.

I understand.

Look, Gus, when I'm out of town,
look, you'll get my mail, right, Chachi?

Yes, Fonz.

All right, consider me bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye, yeah.

Now, I know he's my cousin, and I love him a lot.

I know.

But if he walks through that door one more
time, I'm going to have to risk my life and tell him off.

Oh, no.

Now, let's see that pucker.

That's it.

Look, will you get out?

Well, it's getting late.

Nice.

A short time ago, this woman was limited by her mobility.

A month ago, this man wasn't even able to
get around his house.

These are people who chose freedom over
restrictions, independence over limitations.

They chose mobility.

They chose the scooter store.

And this is a team of mobility experts
that made it all happen.

Great news.

You've been approved for payment.

Dr. Cruz, I'm calling on behalf of Marie Stanford.

And they can make it happen for you.

If you're living with limited mobility,
call the scooter store today.

I promise no other company will work harder to make
you mobile or do more to guarantee your total satisfaction.

I expected they'd help me file some
paperwork with Medicare and my insurance.

I never expected them to be so nice or to work
so hard to get me a power chair at no cost to me.

Call today and let the scooter store work for you.

If we pre-qualify you for a new scooter or
power chair and Medicare denies your

claim, the scooter store allows you to
keep your scooter or power chair at no cost.

That's the scooter store guarantee.

You don't qualify for Medicare?

No problem.

We'll work with your insurance company,
even help with financing.

If there's a way, we'll find it.

When they delivered Mom's power chair, I
expected they'd show her how to use it once or twice.

That man stayed for hours.

You can just tell they care.

Whatever it takes, as long as it takes,
that's our guarantee.

Why do we go to such great lengths?

Because making you mobile is our mission.

We'll work with your doctor, we'll work
with Medicare, and your private insurance.

We'll even service your scooter anywhere in the country.

So call the scooter store today.

Find out what great lengths the scooter
store will go to for you.

Improve your mobility and your life.

Call 1-800-537-9600 for your free,
no-obligation information from the scooter store.

Call to find out if you pre-qualify for a
brand new power chair or scooter.

That number again is 1-800-537-9600.



Ladies and gentlemen, the only Etsy we
could get, Potsie Weber.

Thank you, thank you.

And now, the award for best custodial
engineer, that means janitor, goes to...

Mr. Robert Gampolo.

Congratulations, Mr. Gampolo.

This is quite an honor, ten years in a row.

Three things.

The faculty washrooms are a disgrace.

The lounge is a pigsty, and I quit.

Thank you.

Another gracious moment for Mr. Gampolo.

Same speech every year.

And now, before we get to the highlight of
the evening, the prestigious Toadie Award,

I'd like to point out that Mr. Al Delvecchio
provided the facilities this evening.

Yeah.

Thank you.

And all I asked for in return was a chance to sing for you.

So for your entertainment pleasure, Mr. Al Delvecchio.

Thank you, thank you.

I'd like to do a little song that's near
and dear to all of our hearts.

The Jefferson Alma Mater.

What?

Oh, sure.

Oh, Jefferson, oh, Jefferson Colors white
and blue Oh, Jefferson, oh, Jefferson.

We'll always Cherish it.

Jefferson, Jefferson, good move hit em high.

Hit em blue, Super began to breathe Jefferson.

Jefferson.

Al Delvecchio.

And now the moment has come to give out
the teacher of the year for you.

In a very few minutes, we'll find out who is
the most favorite teacher at Jefferson High.

And to present this award, we have
six-time Toadie winner, Mrs. Agatha Frick.

All right, class, get out your papers and
pencils, and number from 1 to 20.

Mrs. Frick, this isn't school, this is the Toadie banquet.

Did I win again?

No, you're retired.

You're presenting the award this year.

Oh, oh, that's nice.

Hi, Fonz.

I hope I'm not too late.

You know, my plane was late.

I had them land in the street.

All right, Mrs. Frick is giving out the award right now.

You wonderful cutie, how are you?

Hi, Fonz.

Ah, he's talking to me.

Fonz, Fonz, there's something I've got to tell you.

Hey, it's all right.

I've been over and over my speech.

I did it like 20 times.

I memorized it.

But, Fonz, I... It's all right, you little cutie.

You go right ahead.

This year's winner is a newcomer to Jefferson High.

Some people say what he teaches isn't the
most important subject, but I disagree.

She understands me.

This teacher is a master at his craft,
widely respected, and loved.

This year's winner of the Toti Award is... Hit him, Sonny.

Oh, treasure, k*ll him!

I got my speech right here.

I can't tell you.

Fonz.

I can't put into words.

Fonz.

Hey, yeah.

I got a moment going here, huh?

I just lost my place.

I'm sorry.

I can't put into words how satisfying it is.

Fonz, you didn't win.

Me and Roger won.

I knew that.

I knew that.

I just wanted to come up here to
congratulate my good friend, uh,

Roger, you know, and then give him this
speech that I wrote for him.

Well, Fonz, I don't need to read the speech.

Sure.

I cannot put into words how satisfying I find teaching...

teaching auto shop.

Yeah.

Oh, uh, uh, uh, it's, it's a wonderful opportunity
to shape and mold the minds of the next generation.

I'm becoming accustomed, that's with two
Cs, to teaching students who are enthusiastic.

...

I just made a vvvvvvvvvvv vvvvvvvv out of
myself in front of everybody.

It... Fonz, it's all part of life.

Not mine.

Thank you very much.

This has been a wonderful evening.

Maybe I didn't win, but then again,
I didn't humiliate myself.

Call me bald, will you?

Fonz, Fonz, don't take it so hard.

I mean, there's all this next year, Fonz.

Don't go, Fonz.

I'll sing again.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

In front of everybody, I went over that
speech so many times, I wasted my time.

I could have been talking to the stewardess.

Fonz, you, get over here.

Get over here, you're going to be the
first Italian on the moon.

Did I not ask you to campaign for me?

Fonz, I couldn't campaign for you.

Why not?

Because you weren't nominated.

I wasn't nominated.

That's right.

Your class didn't nominate you.

I didn't get the nomination.

Look, I'm sorry, Fonz.

My class didn't nominate me.

That's right.

They didn't nominate me.

You tell me I didn't get the nomination.

Fonz, are you okay?

I didn't get the nomination.

That's right, Fonz.

They didn't nominate me.

How's he taking it?

I didn't get the nomination!

Oh, I feel sorry for Fonz.

Are you kidding?

I feel sorrier for his class.

I think that's his best friend.

Pass your homework up.

Let's go right now.

Thank you.

Fonzie, there's another meeting of the
SODCOP committee today.

And I was just wondering if I-No.

Sit down.

You get a zero.

Next time, you raise your hand.

I did.

Yeah?

You raise the other one.

Give me that homework.

I don't see Tommy's homework in here.

I did it.

Yeah?

Come on.

But my little sister tore it up.

I owe you a zero from the last time.

Why?

I called his mother.

His dog ran away about six months ago.

And if I find out your sister ran away,
I'm going to give you another zero.

Hey, Gene, you get your homework out of
that silly plastic stuff.

I'm going to grade it if I can't touch the paper.

Oh, these wonder markers write on plastic
and come off with an ordinary house rag.

Too late.

You get a zero.

A zero.

My first zero.

Oh, I feel faint.

The room is spinning.

Oh.

I suppose by now, you all know that Coach
Phillips won the Toadie Award.

That's a zero for each and every one of you.

Mr. Fonzarelli, can I ask you a question?

sh**t.

By any chance, did you want us to nominate you for Toadie?

No, not at all.

Why would I want something like that?

It's just like a show of respect and love.

It's just a great honor.

It's just a great honor to get from your class.

Why would I want you to do that?

I wanted to nominate you, but when I brought it
up, they laughed at me and threw erasers at me.

You laughed at this man's idea and threw erasers at me.

No cast.

Mr. Fonzarelli, please.

It's true.

We did laugh at him.

We heard you talking about that Toadie Award.

We thought you were just kidding around.

We figured that you were too cool for that
kind of stuff, that's all.

You did?

Don't you know that we think you're the greatest?

You do?

Yeah.

Mr. Fonzarelli, we didn't nominate you
because we figured when you're good, you know it.

And that's what you always told us.

I did?

You do?

Yeah.

You know, that's the great thing about school, isn't it?

That everybody learns something, huh?

Even the teachers.

I mean, you think about it that way,
you don't need awards, do you?

I mean, does a mother get an award for being a good mother?

No.

It's your own work, right?

That's your award.

It's your pride in yourself.

But I'll tell you one thing.

The most important thing about this whole thing...

Mr. Belgoody didn't win, and if he did, I would have died.

You're all right.

You taught me something.

It's my turn to teach you something, huh?

So this morning, we'll go over the
steering wheel and the column.

I got this particular model out of Mr. Belgoody's car.

If you think all batteries are the same, consider this.

When monitoring a patient after open-heart surgery,
the brand of battery hospitals trust most is Duracell.

Duracell.

Trusted everywhere.

And the trick, of course, is in the marinade.

Oh, bum wrap.

Oh, foiled again.

Yoo-hoo, Mario.

Have you tried new blood press and seal wrap?

It's a whole new way to store food.

Just pull, place, and press.

Oh.

New blood press and seal wrap helps prevent freezer burn.

Even makes custom bags.

And creates a spill-proof seal on just about anything.

Kibwono.

Multibwono.

Don't get mad.

Get new blood press and seal wrap.

I just want to feel clear.

Wide open.

I want to feel like myself again.

I just want the pressure to leave.

Introducing Tylenol Sinus Severe Congestion.

It relieves more symptoms than even the
leading sinus prescription.

No more singing the blues.

The new Tylenol Sinus.

Do you believe in Santa Claus?

Absolutely.

He helped me pick this up.

The Leo Diamond.

Crafted by the artisans at Leo Schachter.

And hand-selected for exceptional beauty by K-Jewelers.

Can I give you folks a lift?

Every kiss begins with K.

And for you, sir?

Well, not unusual.

Come on, try something new.

It's Olive Garden's new Stuffed Chicken Sienna.

Time for bed.

Oh, I meant to tell you, Chachi's called
every day to apologize for yelling at you.

He said it was just a misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding is one thing, Marion,
but telling me to get out is just downright rude.

There's no excuse for it.

Well, I guess you're right.

But he meant well.

Yeah.

Well, what should we do now?

Oh, you frisky devil.

Hi.

Hi.

Get out.

I guess it's back in the car.

Yeah.

No, no, no, no.

No, no, you stay here.

Much better that way.

Better.

Make yourself comfortable.

Right?

Right there.

Hmm?

Geez.

We'll go out in the car.

Come on.

Please stop.

Stop.
