Howard, when a TV is broken, they have to
take it to the shop.

Oh, no, no, not the shop, not that.

Anything but the shop.

Look, look, I can live with it just the way it is.

Howard, you can't.

You see, everything is also... It's
all squashed together in the picture.

It's, you know, when Huntley says goodnight
to Brinkley, it looks like they're kissing.

It just gives me the...

No, no, Mel, Mel, let's talk about it, huh?

Dad,

your father's having trouble saying
goodbye to the television set.

Oh, he'll get over it.

Oh, please!

Maybe not.

He gave me something to remember it by.

Oh, cheer up, Howard.

You have done without television.

You've had television before.

Yes, Marion, but that's when we had radio.

Dad, we still have radio.

We do?

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

Maybe that's the trick, huh?

Yeah, here, listen, that one right here.

That's not a radio.

I take pills bigger than that.

A radio is a big wooden box that goes
right there, where the television used to be.

I'll get it.

Well, maybe they have visiting hours at the repair shop.

Oh, you think so?

So, hi, hi.

Oh, this is perfect.

Now, the two of you can spend the evening
talking men talk, hunting and fishing and old girlfriends.

I just had one girlfriend.

Ever tell you about Rosa Coletti?

Yes, yes.

Anyway, I can't stay.

I just came by to drop off your Fez.

I had it all re-blocked, and I'm sorry
about the elevator incident.

Oh, well, that's all right.

Thanks a lot.

Your head still hurt?

No, no, it's just fine.

Gee, who would think that those elevator
doors would close so fast?

I know, I know.

But look, why didn't you just bring it to
the meeting tomorrow night?

Well, I can't come to the meeting,
see, because something came up.

What?

Oh, that's a good question, yeah.

I'm going away.

Oh, where?

Where?

It's another good question, yeah.

Well, my plans are still all up in the air.

I've just got to go away.

Oh, really?

Where?

Yeah.

Where?

We've got a where, a where, and a what.

All good questions.

Well, I've got to go.

What was he talking about?

My fence.

They had it washed.

Hold it, hold it.

I'd like a few more details, please.

Oh, we're just going to the library, Dad.

We have a current events project due for school.

Yeah, then we're going to my apartment.

We're going to watch TV.

TV?

Look, son, here's $5.

After you're through studying, why don't you take in
a movie, and I'll go over to your place and watch TV.

You got it, Mr. C.

Here are the keys.

We'll see you later.

Yeah, bye.

Listen, if my mom's home, just give her
$5, and she'll leave, too.

I'll see you.

Al Delvecchio, I need you in here.

There are no towels.

Can't keep water on my hands very long.

They might chafe.

Here you go, Fonz.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Oh, boy.

I told Chachi I said the dispenser's empty.

Fill it, fill it now.

And this place is just going to fall apart while I'm gone.

What are you talking about?

Where are you going?

I'm not aware.

I was going to tell you, Fonz.

I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'd like you to
take care of the place while I'm gone.

Just a few days.

Yeah, you got to give me some notice.

Just breaking my days can take a day.

The truth is, this did come up, and I got to go tomorrow.

That's all.

How could I be so thick?

Of course.

You got a girl, huh?

You got a girl?

No, I don't have a girl.

I'll get you a girl.

No, I don't need a girl.

I need you to take care of Arnold's while I'm gone.

That's all.

Fonz, this is something I got to do.

Let's not keep it a secret from the Fonz, all right?

Well, I just got to go someplace.

You're making me itch, Al.

All right, Fonz, okay.

You know on TV where you see these civil
rights demonstrations down south?

Yeah, right, with the water hoses and the
snarly dogs and everything.

Yeah, I've seen that.

That's where I'm going.

I'm watching TV the other night.

Yeah?

And I see them beat up on this black guy
that wants to go sit at a counter there to eat.

Yeah.

Well, I thought that's wrong, Fonz.

I agree.

Just then I thought, here I am.

I'm sitting in the comfort of my living room,
watching TV, eating my ice cream, you know.

Meanwhile, there's a guy out there that's
fighting for his rights.

Now, how do you like that?

I just thought I'm going to go down there
and I'm going to give them some help.

That's all I'm going to do.

I want to help those people.

We have towels now, Al.

Oh, well, I don't know, Fonz.

I've never done anything like this before
and I'm just on edge, that's all.

I understand.

I've already made arrangements to stay
with the family down there.

Saturday is the big day.

Huge, huge demonstrations.

People are coming from all over the country.

It's important that I'm there, Fonz.

Come on, take care of Arnold's, will you?

Of course I'm going to take care of Arnold's.

The important thing is, you can take care of yourself, huh?

Thanks, partner.

Okay.

All right, I'll see you when I get back.

I sure hope in one piece.

Whoa.

You know, Al, he's going down south, Mr. C.

Oh, so that's where he's going.

Well, that's nice.

Oh, yeah?

With the Freedom Riders.

Al?

Our, uh...

Al?

That's right.

That's right.

Our Al, the man who thinks that Church
Bingo gets a little rowdy sometimes.

I mean, how are we going to stop this man?

You don't agree with what he's doing?

I mean, I think it's a very nice thing, but
it's not he's not cut out for it, you know?

I mean, what happens when he gets down
there and they all start yelling at him?

You want a cookie?

Uh-uh, not a giraffe.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, I got a little lamby.

I mean, the thing is, if you criticize his
meatloaf, the man bursts into tears.

He's a very sensitive guy.

Yeah.

But you know, when a person feels as
strongly about people as he does,

I guess he's moved to action.

I believe in that.

Yes, you do.

I've heard you say it a thousand times, Fonzie.

A man has got to do what he's got to do.

Yeah, I live that.

Well, you got to give him credit.

He's not the kind of a person who just sits
around and talks about all the things that are bad.

He just is willing to go out and do something about it.

Hey, he's a guy with my kind of guts.

Well, I'm going to bed.

Oh, if the TV man brings a setback, will you wake me?

Yeah, sure.

But listen, until it comes back, why don't you read a book?

Of course.

Throw a kiss to Mrs. C for me, will you?

Hey, Al.

No, this isn't mommy.

Wake up, will you?

This is the Fonz.

Listen, I'm going to tell you something.

I'm going to say this once, so listen carefully, right?

No arguments.

You know that trip you're going to take
down south, you know?

Yeah, well, that demonstration.

That sounds like a good idea, you know?

I'm going with you.

I'm going with you.

Mrs. McGuigan, the gown is gorgeous.

Chug, chug, chug.

Carol Burnett in France is coming to TV Land.

We are talking about national TV here.

Tune in for our 48-hour marathon.

It's on at 10.30.

Actually, it's on all weekend long.

Well, forgive me for leaving.

Two straight days of unforgettable skits.

We're all here.

Watch the Carol Burnett and Friends marathon
all weekend, January 17th and 18th on TV Land.

Gary, it's time I taught you something
every man should know.

How to eat an Oreo cookie.

Twist it off.

Just give it a lick.

Now, you just learn to tie your shoelaces
and you'll be all set.

Only Oreo.

If you fancy something sugar-free,
red raspberry can be elegant, orange,

cheerful, and strawberry, comfy.

With Smucker's Sugar-Free, the finest
fruit picked at the peak of perfection.

A harvest of sugar-free sweet goodness for
the many moods of you.

So what are you in the mood for?

For over 100 years, with a name like
Smucker's, it has to be good.

Hi, Gordon Elliott for Campbell's Soup at Hand.

How are you?

Hi, good to meet you.

Hi, you going to practice?

When do you have some me time?

Never.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

Campbell's Soup at Hand, chicken with mini noodles.

Where does this go, Cliff?

Now, all I need is a microwave.

Is this okay, sir?

It's Campbell's Satisfaction, made
sippable in a microwavable cup.

Mm-mm, good to go.

You're going to taste the tender chicken, the
mini egg noodles, and that nourishing golden broth.

It's really good.

It's much better than candy or a pretzel from the vendor.

Make it Campbell's instead.

Oh!

There's something delicious going around.

It's these new reclosable bottles of
Ensure, a good source of complete balanced

nutrition that goes anywhere you do in
five creamy, rich flavors.

Ensure, drink to your health wherever you go.

Oh, wow, this is so beautiful.

This trip seems like a page right out of Mark Twain.

Yeah, I sort of feel like Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Hound cruising to Mississippi.

Well, hi, come on in.

This is my wife, Annie.

Welcome to our home.

I'm Al Delvecchio.

Arthur Fonzarelli, just call me Fonzie.

Thank you so much for coming.

I know you're tired, so come on in and sit down.

Just put your luggage over there.

Is that all you brought?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

This is just, you know, T-shirts.

Come on in, sit down.

This is a very, very nice house, you know.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, thanks a lot for inviting us down.

Ah, this is great.

Our pleasure.

So, how's everything going?

Well, it looks very promising.

People are coming in from all parts of the country.

You think it's going to make a difference?

I mean, we're just common people.

Who are you calling common, Alan?

No, he's right, Fonzie.

You see, you're not celebrities, but
that's exactly why you're so important.

If enough common people stand up for
what's right, then something will get done.

Hi, sweetheart.

Good.

Come on and meet our guests.

This is Al, and this is Fonzie.

They came down to help us with the
demonstration on Saturday.

Isn't that wonderful?

They're white.

Oh, yeah, yeah, but the greatest thing
about it is that it don't rub off.

Now, Charles, you know we always taught
you never judge people by their color.

Well, listen, your dad said everything was going great, you
know, with the demonstration for Saturday and everything.

Yeah, I guess there's nothing like a civil rights
demonstration to bring white folks and black people together.

Nice, nice.

Except maybe a lynching.

Charles, you'll have to excuse our son.

He just came from the hospital.

His friend, Sylvester, was beaten up at a
sit-in at a segregated restaurant.

Yeah, you heard about segregated restaurants, right?

That's where you can eat and I can't?

Come on, let's eat.

I know you're hungry.

You've been on a long journey.

Come on, Charles, help me.

Great chair, son.

That's a good idea.

A nice chair.

Home-made southern meal.

Oh, I'm sorry.

We brought in Chinese.

Peace to you guys on this.

Hey, that says it all.

Yeah, huh?

Great sign.

Oh, Charles, come on, join us.

How do you like that?

Look, this little arts and crafts exercise
ain't gonna do any good.

It's gonna take a lot more than science to
change things around here.

Oh, we gotta start someplace, Charles.

But why not start up a restaurant?

Why not start up North?

There's a lot that needs fixing up there, too.

You know, that's a good idea.

If we all got together and worked
together, we could make every place better.

You don't understand.

What do you think is gonna happen?

Y'all are gonna go down to the courthouse
and run around and sing songs and wave

signs, and the white folks are gonna say,
gosh, you know something?

We've been wrong all these years.

We really like black folks.

I mean, I got news for you.

Things are not gonna change, no matter how
many signs you paint.

Chuck.

What?

Yes, I just don't understand it.

I must be awfully naive.

I honestly thought I was down here to help.

Boy, I'm tired.

I think I'm gonna turn in.

Hey, good night, everybody.

Good night, Al.

Good night, Al.

Excuse me.

Sure.

Now, Henry.

This is going.

Charles, when Mr. Delvecchio wakes up in
the morning, you will apologize to him.

Dad, I'm just doing what you always taught me to do.

Speak in my mind.

Excuse me, I'm not your son, but would you
mind if I spoke my mind under your roof?

Go right ahead.

Charles, you know, a lot of what you said there made sense.

But then, on the other hand, a lot of what
you said is a lot of garbage, too, you know.

Oh, really?

Yeah, really.

See, you don't understand Al's motives, right?

Now, Al, that little chubette, is about the cutest,
most loving, caring guy, black or white, north or south.

How can he care about something he knows nothing about?

Well, Charles, we read the papers, we watch TV.

I mean, he knows, you know.

Right, right.

He can really tell a lot about something by
sitting in an easy chair a thousand miles away.

And I thought for sure I was in your house.

I'm not in my easy chair now.

I mean, what is it that you want?

What is it that you want from me?

What is it that I want from you?

Yeah, I thought I just asked that question.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you what I want from you.

Okay, my ears are perked.

Have lunch with me tomorrow.

That's it.

That's it?

Have lunch with you?

This is not a trick.

You're not going to make me eat liver, are you?

No, no, no.

You can eat whatever you want to.

Oh, yeah, this is a friendly place.

Oh, a restaurant with its own baseball team.

Look at that.

Yeah, we could be the boss.

Yeah.

Let's go serve the counter, okay?

Sure.

See, this place is just like Garnold's.

Look at that.

Eggs any style, hot dogs, fries,
chicken salad, whites only.

Whites only.

Fonz, is this one of those places?

Yeah, just like Auntie.

TV, only you are there.

Fonz, we are here.

Hi, y'all.

Hi.

What's good today?

Some advice.

Y'all are looking for trouble.

Now, May, I don't care who eats this
garbage, but we got a policy here.

Now, if your friend will leave, I'll be glad to serve you.

Yeah, but he's paying.

He can't leave.

So we'll have three coffees, all right?

What's the problem, May?

Oh, they want some coffee.

Here?

Yeah, well, this is a restaurant, ain't it?

For some.

Now, Ned, why don't you just take it easy?

Why don't you just go pour some coffee?

You know how Lamar gets when his cup gets empty.

Oh, all right.

We would still like some coffee, sir.

Well, we don't serve coloreds here.

Well, that's convenient, because we didn't order any.

Buddy, can't you read?

No, I'm colorblind.

You're going to get out of here or not?

Well, yes.

Yes, we are.

We are going to get out of here as soon as
we have a cup of coffee.

Look, wouldn't you see what the sheriff's
got to say about that?

Listen.

Listen, I know what the sheriff is going
to say and in what caliber.

Now, you know what it's like, so let's get out of here.

Uh, Charles, we are not leaving until I
have a cup of coffee, so turn yourself around.

Now, Lamar.

Hey.

Oh, no.

What are you, a black lover?

As a matter of fact, I am a black lover.

And a Jew lover.

And a Protestant lover.

I love cowboys.

I love Indians.

It's true.

It's true.

He's the biggest lover in Milwaukee.

Well, you're gonna love this.

Oh, yes, I am.

Oh, yes.

Hold it.

This is a non-violence thing.

A what?

Non-violence.

What a great time to tell me that.

Now, Lamar, just sit down over there and shut up.

The sheriff is coming.

Hey.

Oh, I should save myself a lot of trouble.

These jokers start busting plates over your head.

Who are you?

Who do you think gets to clean it up?

That's him over there, Jack.

I can tell, Ned.

Keep some pressure, may I get to it in a minute?

Hello, Charles.

Who are your friends here?

They're from Milwaukee.

Oh, Milwaukee.

That's a long way to drive for a cup of coffee.

Charles, I've been knowing you and your family for years.

Ain't that right?

That's right, Sheriff.

Now, I'd hate like anything to see you get
mixed up with these outside agitators.

So, why don't you and your friends go
home, and I'll just forget about this little incident.

Come on, Charles, get out of here.

You know something?

I don't think so.

What's that?

Well, all we want is a cup of coffee, then we'll go.

It doesn't even have to be a big cup of coffee.

Look, I'm going to give you one more chance.

And then if you don't move your tails and
get out of here, I'm going to have to arrest you.

On what grounds?

For a conspiracy for acting like a human being?

That's it.

You're arrested.

Come on.

All right, all right, wait, hold it.

Now, wait a minute.

You can arrest me, all right, but I want
to tell you something first.

And this goes for you, too.

I've been in the restaurant business for 25 years.

And I love serving people.

I love serving all people.

What's going on here is an outrage.

I mean, you're violent.

You violate every basic rule of public
service and common dignity.

And furthermore, there's a fly in your salt shaker.

Okay, that's enough.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on.

May, what are you doing?

Pouring him some coffee.

I'm.

Sick and tired of this.

I felt that way for a long time, but I
didn't have the guts to say anything.

Well, now, they ordered coffee, and I'm
pouring him coffee, and I don't care if you fire me.

May, you better get out of here.

You've been working for me for 15 years.

I mean, when we started together,
this place was just a dump.

And you got on the dental plan.

Are you going to give up all that for just a cup of coffee?

It's about time somebody did.

Am I fired?

Oh, come on, May.

You're the best darned waitress I ever had.

Am I fired?

Oh, I don't need this misery.

Go ahead.

Pour him the darned old coffee.

I don't think it's going to mean needing
you anymore today, Jack.

I want you boys to know, as long as you're
in town, I'll be keeping an eye on you.

My very own guardian angel.

Oh, uh, to your health, Lamar.

Don't worry, Ned.

They'll be back.

The only other place in town is Chinese.

Not bad, ain't it?

Not bad.

You know, you're one of the classiest
waitresses I have ever met in my life.

And this is the best cup of coffee I ever had.

I can dig it.

Well, thank you.

You know, there's a lot of people down
here who feel just like I do.

I'm glad y'all came.

Oh, this is great.

Fonz, I wish we could do more.

Like what?

Name a sandwich after Charles?

You know, you gotta crawl before you can run.

You know, we did some of you.

That's right.

And we got a lot of work to do, y'all.

We gotta get home and make signs for the
demonstration tomorrow.

All of a sudden, he wants to make signs.

Hey, that's right.

All right, to me.

To me.

Hey, there we go.

Let's make them signs.

Oh, it's on the house.

It's on the house.

Oh.

I'll see you later, Ned.

Last year.

Gloria would say something like, Daddy.

And then Edith would chime in.

Oh, I do.

Next year.

Oh, you should have been in.

Hey, Mrs. C, I'm telling you, it was
something I'll never forget.

There were thousands of people, each from a different race.

We were all together in something we believed in, you know?

And then, in my group, in my group and the group that
I was in, everybody said, Fonz, you had the best side.

Oh, I see.

All right.

Okay.

Here we go.

I'll see.

All right.

Hey, Mrs. C.

All right.

Oh.

Hi.

Oh, Howard, you just... Dismissed, Arthur.

Yeah.

Oh, Howard.

What, is something wrong?

Did you have a rough day at the store?

No.

As a matter of fact, I had one of the best sale days ever.

Well, that's good news.

You should be happy.

Marion, how could I be happy when I know
at the end of the day I have to come home,

sit in my chair, and look over there where my TV used...

My TV!

It's back!

Marion, it's back!

Oh, happy day!

These happy days are yours and mine, happy days!
