Hey, how you doin'?

Hey, you see a little old lady waitin' in here for me?

Oh, Fonz, come on, lay off the little old lady.

Just leave somethin' for me.

No, no, no, I got stuck on the concert committee,
you know, the annual concert for Jefferson High School.

I was supposed...

There was a new lady in Arnold's, why wasn't I told?

No, no, no, it's over here, it's over here.

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

You look very, very lovely.

Our relationship was startin' just a minute, all right?

I'm waitin' for some old lady from the
music department, you know?

Oh, are you sure she's an old lady?

Hey, she's the head of the music
department at Jefferson High, right?

She probably wraps little kids on her
knuckles with a ruler or something, you know?

She's got a bun right there with pencils
stickin' out of it.

What is it, Sanigan, Fanigan, something like that?

Franigan.

What?

Franigan?

Yeah, yeah, right there, Franigan.

How'd you know?

An old lady, you're in great shape, you know?

An apple for the teacher.

Oh, thank you.

I promise not to hit your knuckles with a ruler.

Oh, no, no, that's how it is.

Let's talk concepts, all right?

Now, listen.

The school gave me some money.

A lot of money.

I think a thousand big ones.

Now, who are we going to get?

Well, I know a fantastic group, and they're going
to be in town, so I'd be glad to take care of them.

You're not pulling my leg?

No.

It's all yours.

You're in charge.

Well, don't you want to know anything about them first?

Miss Music Teacher, you pick them.

I will like them.

Okay.

Thanks.

Oh, yeah.

Uh, you know what?

I want to tell you something.

I am very busy, but I ain't dead, you know?

You want to squeeze out some dinner.

Well, even Music Teacher Z, call me.

I'm in the book.

Yeah, I like that book.

Now, Howard.

We are going to be in such great shape after this exercise

program, you are going to feel
better than you ever felt before.

I don't know how I ever let you talk me into this.

I remember.

Oh, yeah.

Come on, Lori Beth.

Put it on.

Hi.

It's time for exercising with Coach Danny.

Let's start with some deep knee bends.

Ready?

Go.

One, two, one, two, one, two, one.

I'm going to be chocked.

One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.

Mom, Dad's cheating.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, Lori Beth Ritchie Jr. is crying.

Oh, okay.

Thanks, Johnny.

Johnny, where are you going?

Out.

When will you be back?

Later.

Have fun.

Thanks.

I think it's important to set standards.

Yeah, this is where we have breakfast,
you know, and we have dinner over here,

and these are practically my parents,
and I would like you, Mr. and Mrs.

C, to meet Cynthia Brannigan.

How do you do?

Hi.

Nice to meet you.

Yeah, we're working on the concert project together,
and of course, we've got some other projects of our own.

Well, did you two come up with a group for the concert?

Oh, I got that.

Hey, hey, hey, I want it to be a surprise, all right?

You want it, she plops it right down here
on your high five.

I'll be my guest.

Hey, may I?

Help yourself.

You're going to love this.

I'm looking forward to it.

Spin that golden platter.

Thank you.

My little angel eyes, I think you got
totally confused there.

I want to hear the music we're going to hear
at the concert first, then you can play this stuff.

Oh, this is the group, Fonz.

It's the Boston Conservatory Orchestra.

I didn't know the chair did that.

Fonz, is anything wrong?

Is anything wrong?

Is anything wrong?

I got 3,000 kids waiting for someone like Chuck Berry.

You bring me music with no words.

I'm sorry, but nobody told me that it had
to be rock and roll.

Maybe the kids will like it.

Oh, yeah, maybe they will.

Maybe one day I'm going to wear white socks.

Would you like some pie with ice cream?

No.

Well, I'll just take one.

I can't believe you're acting like this.

These kids want a boogie-woogie, you know.

It's Tchaikovsky.

Are you telling me it's not even American?

Fonzie, I think you're taking this whole thing too far.

No, I'm not.

I'll have some of that pie, Marion.

Fonzie, I'll have you know that classical
music is wonderful.

Well, have you ever even listened to any?

You bet I have.

I was stuck in an elevator one day.

Once.

Oh, you really gave it a chance, didn't you?

Let me tell you something.

I am the one that's got to make the
announcement, you understand?

Those kids don't want to sit around and
listen to dead people play music.

How can I be so excited and then down in a dump so fast?

My decision is final.

That group does not play at my concerts.

I cannot believe how close-minded you are.

Believe it.

A lot of emotion.

And hard work went into the composing of pieces like this.

And Tchaikovsky, he sacrificed his personal
life, his health, and even his own sanity.

Big deal.

I am not going to waste my breath.

I'll wait until you've cooled off and then
we can discuss this more intelligently.

I am cooled off!

We've been heard of this guy.

Look at the way he dresses.

Tchaikovsky, when he was six years old,
he was already taking formal piano lessons.

Big deal.

When I was four years old, I was fixing carburetors.

He always strove for perfection.

Did he?

He always strove.

He was the most renowned composer of his
era, and women found him irresistible.

Irresistible.

Perfection in women.

My kind of guy.

How could a cool guy like this make such lousy music?

Mr. Tchaikovsky.

Mr. Tchaikovsky, your tea is served.

Good morning, sir.

Good?

What's so good about it?

I have to come up with a new concerto for the Tsarina.

Nothing will come.

I don't know what it is, Ivan.

I just can't play anything well anymore.

What can I get you for dinner, sir?

A new concerto?

Ivan?

Nah.

I like that.

I don't know what I'm going to do.

I have to think of something for the ballet on Tuesday.

I have to think of something for the ambassador's
lunch on Wednesday and Saul's bar mitzvah on Saturday.

Mozart.

Mold, baby.

Who does your hair?

Give me some inspiration.

Again.

Oh.

Ivan, answer the door.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, Peter, I've been so worried.

I haven't heard from you in weeks.

I try but can't create.

Oh, you know how I love and respect your work.

You should do the same, Ivan.

He's such an idiot, but he works cheap.

Peter, play the song that you wrote for me.

Again?

Oh, yes, please.

Oh, you know that it puts me in a certain mood.

Oh, my God.

Maybe you've been working too hard.

Why don't you just whip up any little thing?

I'm sure everyone will love it.

No, no, I must do it my way.

It's my way or no way at all.

Please.

Out, out.

I have no inspiration.

I will not leave the piano.

I will die at the piano.

Until I have created greatness,
I will strive for perfection.

Such commitment.

Such devotion.

Arthur, are you all right?

Mr. and Mrs. C, I'm not going to let Tchaikovsky down.

Good boy, Fonz.

Let me ask you a question.

Is classical music so important, so vital?

It certainly is.

Well, I've got a tough day ahead of me.

First, I've got to make up with Cynthia.

Then I've got to convince the entire student body
of Jefferson High that they will love classical music.

Oh, you can do it, Fonz.

You can do it.

Howard is going in the dumper.

Aha!

So it's you, Dad.

Give me a minute to make my case.

Kool-Aid.

Stir up some smiles.

Okay, Dad.

Case dismissed.

Every day I see how hard it is for people
with diabetes to lose weight.

My advice, exercise, eat right, and try new Glucerna
weight loss shakes made specially for people with diabetes.

A 5% weight reduction can help lower your
blood sugar naturally.

For someone 200 pounds, that's just 10 pounds.

Glucerna has a pathogen blend of slowly digested
carbohydrates, clinically shown to help manage blood glucose.

Delicious Glucerna weight loss shakes.

It's time for a taste of freedom.

Feel fresh.

Feel confident.

products, proven gentle and effective, so you can be you.

Guess what, y'all?

I'm a big loser.

I'm doing it with a whole new plan from SlimFast.

And I know you heard me, child.

SlimFast.

So shake the notion of just shakes out of your head.

There's pasta, soup, ice cream.

Here's the deal.

With SlimFast counting the calories, you can lose twice the
weight than if you were counting those calories yourself.

Twice the weight.

That's my kind of plan.

Got a yen for a 10?

Want to delve into a 12?

Come on.

If I can be a big loser, there's nothing stopping you.

Lose big.

Get started at SlimFast.com.

Here we go.

Shake it up.

Okay, we're just going to take a short break
right now and cool down a little bit, all right?

All right, look, here, don't be a fan, will you?

Take this off, all right?

Are you sure that they're going to like this?

Of course, what's they here to love it?

All right, wish me luck.

All right, listen up.

I got an announcement to make, that's right.

I found a group for the annual concert.

All right, are you ready?

Yeah.

Let me hear it again.

You ready?

Yeah.

All right.

Here.

Come on, Fonz.

Why are you choking?

Stop.

You see?

You see what I'm saying?

This is funny?

Yeah.

This happens to be classy, classy.

This is Tchaikovsky, huh?

What's the name of that tune?

Dance with the Sugar Pumps, Harry.

That's great.

Throw a sink and then a rock.

That was good.

That was good.

All right, hey, this is the tune that you're going to hear.

That's right.

This is the group you're going to hear at the concert.

Oh.

Come on.

Fonz, don't we have any say in this?

Yeah.

Can we take a vote?

Of course you have a say.

Of course we can take a vote.

Okay.

All right, everybody.

Now, who wants Rocket?

We're all right.

We're not going to vote now.

Why not?

Because it's not fair.

That's why.

We'll meet here.

Vote one week from tonight.

For one week, you're not going to listen to rock and roll.

You're going to listen to this great classical stuff.

Dismissed.

I can't believe this.

I told you they were going to hate us.

I told you they were going to hate us.

They're going to hate us.

They're going to let me out of here.

I love you.

© BF-WATCH TV 2021 One more week, I will lose my cookies.

Come on, it's the last day, it'll be over soon.

You know, it's a real pleasure to be in here
when such beautiful music is being played.

Did you know it's a medical fact that this
type of music A*DS in the digestive process?

This type of music puts me in a very romantic mood.

Is that right?

Jenny?

Yes?

Not that romantic.

Get out of my mouth.

What are you so happy about?

Me?

Nothing.

I'm just a happy kind of guy.

They kick you out of your seat again?

Hey, what's up, Fonz?

Uh-huh.

Oh, come on.

I thought we said no rock and roll until voting time.

That's right, Fonz.

I was listening to the news and they
interrupted with a music bulletin.

Fonz, it's your last day.

I know, I know.

Your week is up.

All right, now, for the past week, you have
been listening to a different kind of music.

We know that.

And now, in the spirit of true
competition, we will have a vote, all right?

I certainly would like to see a
great show of hands for those

people who have the good
taste of voting for classical music.

Sit down.

Sit down.

And those people who vote for rock and roll.

Yeah!

I got the message.

All right, looks like it was close,
but I guess rock and roll won.

Fonz, it's okay.

Everybody makes a mistake once in a while.

Yeah, you did just now.

We tried, Fonz.

I mean, we tried.

I feel like a fool.

Oh, you didn't look like a fool.

Oh, come on.

I was pushing something.

I shoved it right back in my face.

No, you were just trying to give them a
chance to experience something new.

I'd rather not talk about classical music anymore, right?

Please.

Are we still gonna go together to that piano recital?

Of course we are, all right?

Later?

Later?

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

Thank you.

See you.

See you.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

I'd say some of this music beats the bebop lula, you know?

You know something?

It wasn't too bad.

What'd you think?

Yeah, it's pretty good.

Come on, let's go.

I'm gonna get my shoes on.

Hold it.

I don't know, you people can go.

It's all right.

I just want to talk to those people first.

Hey!

Hi, Fonz!

Hi, Fonz.

Hi, Cynthia.

Hi, Cynthia.

Do my eyes deceive me or have we seen
these music connoisseurs somewhere before?

What are you two doing here?

Uh, well, we were just walking by this
place and decided to duck in out of the rain.

It's not raining.

Well, I wait till the last minute.

Well, you had to tell me the truth.

All right, I'll be honest with you.

You know, when we first heard this kind of music,
Fonz, uh, I mean, we obviously didn't like it too much.

Yeah.

But after hearing it for a week, it kind of grew on us.

Do you know that even today, classical
music helps broaden the aspects of

education, helps conquer the limitations
of the language barrier, and serves as a

common bond between, like, uh,
friendship and artistry in very civilized lands?

Oh, yeah.

It's beautiful.

That says it all.

Hey, I do my reading.

I read the back of album covers.

All right, Fonz, I'll tell you what.

I'll treat you to anything you want, okay?

No kidding.

As long as it's not too expensive.

My pleasure.

I'll pray for cuisine.
