Who is it?

R.F. Ralph Furley.

It's open.

Oh, hi, Terri.

Hi, Mr. Furley.

Here's that magazine I borrowed.

Oh, thank you.

Well, what have we got here?

It's a present.

For Jack's birthday?

One of the nurses that
I work with, Mr. Furley.

Oh, well, it's very sexy.

Why, Mr. Furley, have you
been keeping secrets from me?

Now, you just watch it.

I'm just kidding. You know
I'm just fooling around.

All right, that's better.

But if you're not busy
Friday night, there's a dance

down at the pier, and I
don't... That's enough!

Jack, could you put
your finger here, please?

At your service. Excuse
me, coming through.

Hey, guys. Oh, hi, Mr. Furley.

Hi, Janet. Guess
what, everybody.

I got a job.

Guess what, Janet,
you already have one.

This is another job. Part-time.

You know that aerobics
class I've been taking? Yeah?

Well, they think I'm good
enough to teach my own class.

That's wonderful!
That's terrific, teach!

Way to go. Thanks.

Listen, the extra money
is really going to help.

I gotta get going. I have to get my
gym bag. My first class is in an hour.

Janet's going to
teach "air-robics"?

I didn't even
know she could fly!

Mr. Furley,
aerobics is exercise.

I knew that.

Oh, gosh. I hope
I do okay tonight.

Oh, of course you will.

You can do those
exercises in your sleep.

That's why they picked you.

Yeah, Terri, but I never
taught a class before.

I'm really kind of nervous.

Janet, you're going to be great.
You have nothing to worry about.

Yeah, good luck. Thank you.

Mow 'em down.

See you all later.
Bye, Mr. Furley.

Bye.

Well, I'm surprised at you two.

Why?

Real friends would
go to that class tonight

and give Janet
some moral support.

He's right, Jack.

What, exercise?

Oh, come on. I'm b*at.

I was working
until 4 this morning.

I just had trouble
walking out of the kitchen.

Now, look, Jack, if Janet
can't count on the three of us...

The three of us?

Well, yeah, you're one of Janet's
friends too, aren't you, Mr. Furley?

Well, yeah, but,
I mean, I didn't...

I mean...

Well, I can't go.

I don't have anything to wear.

Well, I think you'd look
very cute in this, Mr. Furley.

You can wear the
tiara and the pearls.

And reach and stretch.

Reach for the ceiling, relax,
exhale, and bring it down.

And again, inhale and up...

and stretch and reach, and...

Hi.

And stretch...

Tummies tight. ♪♪

Lift... oh.

What are you doing here?

Well, we thought you might
like a little moral support.

Who's we?

Hey, come here.

Oh.

Oh, oh, Tina.

Everything okay, Janet?

Oh, yes, everything's
just fine, just fine.

Good. Be sure and check
in the office after class.

Oh, sure. Of course.

Mercy. Janet?

Yeah? Who is that?

Oh, that's my boss.

Tremendously fine muscles.

Now, listen, Jack, don't
get any funny ideas.

I said that was my
boss. You understand?

I was just browsing. No problem.

Okay.

All right, let's get started

if our latecomers
will find a place.

Let's go.

Looking good.

Hi, I'm Jack.

Oh, God, they're
always hitting on me.

♪♪

Okay, everybody,

let's start out with some
overhead side stretches.

Ready, and to the right.

Stretch, and left.

Stretch, right. And left.

And right.

And left. Now, flat back center.

And right.

And center. And left.

Hi, neighbor.

And center.

Now, let's travel to the right.

Step.

And back.

Now put 'em up.

Hop and left.

And right.

Oh! I'm sorry.

Just give up, fella.

You're not my type, okay?

Excuse me.

And back.

Now reaching high
over your heads

all the way to the ceiling.

Reach for that
floor, rolling on down.

Am I doing this right?
This doesn't feel too right.

How is this going to...

Okay, walk your hands back in.

And walk your feet in.

Walk those feet.

Now squat down and roll it up.

Okay, now lift those legs.

Get those knees
up. C'mon, higher.

Get 'em up, this is
where it really counts.

Come on.

Keep on going. Hang in there.

Come on, hang in there.

Get 'em up, come on. Hang in.

All right, now,
double-time, everybody.

Double-time, double-time.
Triple-time, triple-time.

Come on, come on.

All right, we are finished.

See you tomorrow.

Let's do it. Let's go.

Come on.

Work!

Running is my life.

Oh, the pain! The pain!

Jack? Jack.

You really did okay. Yeah?

As a matter of
fact, you all did.

Really, you were great.

You don't get a body like
this without working at it.

Well, if you'll excuse me, I
have to get to the hospital.

Oh, I didn't know you
were working tonight.

Who said anything about working?

These young kids
today can't take it.

I think I'll jog home.

Listen, Jack, I have to
go check in at the office.

I'll see you later.

Water.

Water.

Eek!

Excuse me.

You know, water's
the worst thing

you can drink after a workout.

Huh? What do you recommend?

A glass of wine.

Huh?

Well, I thought you might
like to come by my place

for a nightcap.

A nightcap?

No thanks, I don't
like to go to sleep

with anything on my head.

Well, excuse me, I, uh...

I better be going.

I want to go congratulate my
roommate on a job well done.

Your roommate? Yes. Janet.

She's real happy to
be teaching that class.

Oh, well, she should be.

She did very well.

Well, I'll be glad
to tell her that.

It would be too bad if something
kept her from teaching it.

What could keep
her from teaching it?

Nothing I can think of.

Now, how about that drink?

I already told you...

Wait, wait. Wait a minute.

Are you saying that Janet's
job depends on whether...

I'm saying I think you're
very cute. Thank you.

And I think we could
have a lot of fun together

at my place.

Oh, I bet we could.

See, the only trouble is,

I don't have a car.

Well, that shouldn't
be a problem.

It is if you're trying to pass
someone on the freeway.

Tina, telephone.

I'll be right back.

You came just in time.

Don't you ever give up?

Okay, Terri, dinner's ready.

Oh, great.

After all that
exercise, I'm starved.

That's dinner?

Uh-huh.

Well, it's better than nothing.

No, it isn't.

Come on. It's a spinach shake.

It has wheat germ
and potassium powder

and Brewer's yeast
and some spinach juice.

I picked it up down at
the health food store.

You should have left it there.

Oh, Jack...

Hi. Where'd you disappear to?

I didn't even get a chance to
thank you for coming to my class.

Janet, listen, I...

Guys, I love
teaching that class.

And Tina, isn't she great?

I mean, it is so nice to have
a boss who appreciates you.

It's not like down
at the flower shop.

Janet, Janet, they appreciate
you at the flower shop.

Oh, come on, Jack. I haven't
had a raise in three whole years.

Well, that's because
you haven't asked.

You have to remind them
how much they appreciate you.

Do you mind, Jack? I'm really
enjoying teaching this class.

Janet... Now, if you
guys will excuse me,

I've got some things to do.

What's with you?

It's Tina.

She hit on me tonight.

Well, you do look
adorable in short pants.

Terri, come on.
Will you get serious?

When I said no, she
threatened to fire Janet.

She said that?

Not in so many words.

Oh, come on. Janet
told me all about Tina.

She flirts with every
guy in the gym.

She does?

Yeah, by tomorrow,
she'll forget all about you.

So just relax.

Yeah, that makes sense.
You know something, Terri?

You've got a good
head on your shoulders.

Why, thank you.

Boy, for a while there, I
thought I was in some trouble.

You are.

That's a spinach milkshake.

Good Lord!

What are you
trying to do, k*ll me?

Gag! I'm in "gagony"!

Tina, what are you doing here?

You didn't think I'd
forget our drink, did you?

Yeah, but I told you...

I know, you don't have a car.

That's right. But I do.

You drive.

Potato head.

What is that?

Jack!

What are you doing?

Just trying to get some sleep.

Oh, don't tell me.

You were out with
Tina again last night.

All night.

I'll tell you, that woman
just can't get enough.

Disco dancing until 5 A.M.

and that's three
nights in a row, Terri.

Well, can't you just
say that you're busy?

I do, but she's still
there waiting for me

when I close the restaurant.

Well, that's not fair of her.

She can't expect you to go
out dancing night after night.

Terri, the dancing
is the easy part.

Oh.

Oh!

Well, listen, you are going to
have to tell Janet everything.

Are you kidding?

I can't even tell you
everything, and you're a nurse.

But, Jack...

Terri, listen, what am I
going to tell Janet anyway?

Hey, listen, I'm
dating your boss

so she won't fire you?

You know how
much pride Janet has.

She'd quit in a second.

But it's just a part-time job.

Yeah, that's true.

But...

Oh, hi, guys!

Janet, what are you doing home?

I couldn't wait to tell you
the news. What news?

I talked to my boss today at
the flower shop, and I really

laid it on the line. Hey,
you took my advice!

I did, Jack, I did. I said, "Look, I
have not had a raise or any promotions

in three whole years, and I think
it's time for a change," and he agreed.

That's wonderful!
Yeah! He fired me.

He fired you?

He fired you!

He fired you?

Yeah. What?

Why are you so happy?

Because I stopped at
the club on the way home,

and I told Tina.

She offered me a
full-time job at more money.

Janet, listen, I have
to tell you something

about Tina and me.

See, uh...

I'll get it.

Hello?

Okay.

It's Tina.

That's for me.

Hello? Oh, hi, Tina.

Hi, Janet.

Listen, I'm really busy.

Could you do me
a favor and tell Jack

I can't go to the
movies with him tonight?

You had a date to go to
the movies tonight with Jack?

This is the third
time this week?

You must really like him.

Like him?

I think he's wonderful.

Great.

Well, bye, Tina.

Now, Janet, before
you say anything...

Jack Tripper, I
thought I told you

not to get involved
with my boss.

I'm not. Believe me.


I don't care a thing about Tina.

You don't?

Oh, that's great, Jack.
That is just terrific.

You lead her on and
then you drop her.

And you know who she's
going to take it out on, Jack?

Me. Janet...

Jack, I hope you
are happy, lover boy.

To you, it was just
a silly little fling,

but now I'm the
one who's in trouble!

I could come back.

Get out of my way, Larry.

You got Janet in trouble?

No.

She was talking about Tina.

You got Tina in trouble?

No, Tina got Jack in trouble.

You lost me here.

I gotta go talk to Tina.

What are you going to say?

I don't know, but I
gotta end this somehow.

Who's Tina?

Oh, Janet's new boss.

She's insatiable.

She's all over Jack.

Really?

I mean, how degrading.

Jack's never going to get this
sex-mad woman to drop him.

Sex-mad?

Oh, I just wish she'd get
involved with another man.

Huh, a woman like that?

What man could be so desperate?

Oh, Tina?

I have to talk to you.
It's real important.

Okay. Aagh!

For heaven's sake,
put that thing down

before you hurt yourself.

Okay, okay.

Now, what's the matter?

Tina, it's about you and Jack.

Why'd you have to say
yes when he asked you out?

He didn't ask me out.

I sort of blackmailed
him into it.

Blackmailed?

I kind of hinted that if
he didn't go out with me...

Yeah?

I'd fire you.

What?

Well, of course I didn't
mean it for a second.

I think you're a
wonderful instructor.

Oh, I hope this doesn't
affect our relationship.

Well, of course it does.

Look, Tina, either
you stop seeing Jack,

or I'm quitting,
and I mean that.

Okay.

I'll stop seeing him.

You will?

Janet, having you on my staff

is very important to me.

It is?

Also, my boyfriend
just came back in town.

Your boyfriend, he's big.

Now, Janet, as
long as you're here,

be a dear and get
me the class list.

Oh, sure, Tina.

Hi there. You lose something?

I'm sorry.

Could you tell me
where I might find Tina?

Thanks.

Hi ya, doll, I'm Larry.

I'll be with you in a minute.

Ooh, I don't think I
can wait that long.

Love your equipment.

I beg your pardon?

Your gym equipment.

Oh.

Well, care to try it?

I'll try anything
once, sweetheart.

Oh, good.

Well, first you slip into these.

Whoa, pretty kinky.

I know, I know. Don't tell me...

You want to make sure
I don't get away, huh?

Aww.

Now, you step into this.

I'll step into anything, here.

Oh!

Okay, what do I do now?

Put your feet right up there.

Right up here, yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

Listen... There you go!

After you're finished here,

Mm-hmm? why don't
you come back to my place

for a real workout,
you know what I mean?

Oh, I'd love to,

but I'm afraid I'm going
to have to turn you down.

Well, you...

Hey!

I don't like guys
who come on strong.

Hey, wait a minute. Tina? Tina!

Jack? Jack!

Jack.

Larry, what are you doing?

Get me up. Get me up!

I'm getting dizzy here.

You all right? Yeah.

What are you doing?

Just trying to do you a favor.

What? I thought if Tina met me,

she might lose interest in you.

Well, what happened?

I don't know, she
said something about

not liking guys who
come on too strong.

Larry, that's it, that's why
she's so attracted to me!

I've been playing hard to get!

Yeah, that's great,
pal. Could you...

I've got to come on strong.

Thanks a lot, pal.
Could you... Jack!

Jack?

Hey, babe.

Hey, juice me.

Apple for Jack,
passionfruit for the lady.

We don't have any passionfruit.

Oh, yeah? Well,
no prob, juicetender.

I'll squeeze my own. Come here.

Jack? Jack, that's
her boyfriend.

Good lord!

You can kiss your teeth goodbye.

Hey, let him go.

I don't think he heard you.

You asked for this.

Oh my God!

What?

That bicep!

You must have put a
quarter of an inch on it.

You noticed.

Have you been
bench-pressing behind my back?

Well, I was sort of
saving it for a surprise.

You two probably
want to be alone.

Excuse me.

Right after I take care of you.

Chest hairs.

This is so funny.
Isn't this funny, Tina?

What's funny?

You.

You thinking that Tina
could possibly be interested

in a weak, puny excuse
for a man like this.

Well, I felt that...

Wait a second, wait a second.

You thought I had
a thing for this, this...

This wimp.

Aw, come on, Janet.
You said you'd never tell.

Shut up! All right. I'm sorry.

Hey.

Hey, you.

Let's go pump
some iron together.

You really know how
to get to a guy, don't ya?

Bye, Tina. Nice to
meet you, Mr. Bunyan.

Janet, let me tell you
about Tina and me.

Oh, no, it's okay, Jack.
She told me everything.

Everything?

Yeah.

Thanks, Jack.

Oh, Janet. Thank you.

Jack!

Larry? Larry!

Oh, Larry! How did you get...

Jack, let's get him down.

Hi, Janet.

Oh, Larry. Thanks, Pal.

You know, Janet, you look
a lot better upside-down.

Really, Larry? Yeah.

Well, then, why
don't you look again.

Janet!

Jack? Janet?

Jack?

Hey, you guys, what about me?

Hang in there.

Jack, did you speak with Tina?

Well, I didn't, exactly.

Listen, I've been thinking.

Your only way out
is to convince Tina

that you're passionately
involved with someone else.

Terri, there's no
reason I have to...

Would you just listen to me?

The next time Tina
sees you at the gym,

she'll find you in a
compromising position with me.

Terri, I don't think
that's necess... with you?

Uh-huh.

Gee, I don't know. I
wouldn't know what to do.

Oh, gosh, do I have
to do everything?

Okay, now, Tina has to
see something like, um...

this.

Terri!

Shh!

I'm doing this for you, Janet.

What's going on?

We have to get
Tina to drop Jack.

She already has.

Huh?

Oh, I guess in
all the excitement,

I forgot to tell you.

Terri, wait a minute.
