[rock guitar riff playing]

Pulled over by the cops 20 minutes after

we gave you the Vista Cruiser?

Who could have pulled off

something like that?

Only a criminal mastermind

without the mind.

A Kelso.

Trouble just follows them, honey.

They're like those frogs

in the rainforest.

Colorful and pretty,

but if you lick them,

all your skin falls off and you die.

I'm sorry, but can we just stop

for a second?



Because how cute is this

that we are holding hands?

[chuckles]

It finally happened, you guys!

Grandpa, I know this looks bad,

but we only got pulled over

because the car had

license plates from 1980.

She's right, Mr. Forman.

Sometimes, if you're searching for blame,

it's best to look inward.

My foot's about to go inward your ass.

You can't set him up like that.

I know we're off to a rough start,

but give me a chance.

Someday, this frog

is gonna turn into a butterfly.

I'm getting stupider standing here.

You are banned from this house. Get out.

What?

No!

Honey. Honey.

Let go of the frog.

Hangin' out down the street ♪

The same old thing we did last week ♪

Not a thing to do ♪

But talk to you ♪

We're all all right! ♪

We're all all right! ♪

[young woman] Hello, Wisconsin!

The Kool-Aid Man?



That's the tattoo you wanna get?



The key is to not overthink it.

Mission accomplished.

Jay, I miss you, and I feel so bad

you can't be here for all the fun.

Gwen and Ozzie are talking.

Nikki's chewing gum.

And Nate's adjusting his junk.

You need more powder, babe.

Summer's the worst season for your junk.

Hey. Can I talk to him?



Just come over, bro.

Leia's grandma's at the dentist.

Red's stuck at the DMV.

Damn it. I miss you too.

- He's coming over.

- He is?



I gotta shave my pits!

[Jay] Uh, what?



[nervous chuckle] That was Nikki. Bye!

Gwen. Help me.

Boyfriend, day one.

Oh, I gotta take off too.

I'm meeting my SAT tutor in 20 minutes.

Again with that guy?



But you're already so smart.

You helped me escape from that trampoline.

Babe, I need to ace the SATs,

get into a good college, cure a disease,

and have my face on a stamp

so my enemies can lick it.

She's spending a lot of time

with that tutor guy.

Is someone feeling jealous?



No, I am.

I mean, she's with this guy all the time.

Do you think I have

anything to worry about?



Tough to answer without knowing

who the guy is, but, knowing you,

maybe.

I know, right?



If it's really bothering you,

let's check this guy out.

Nah, I should just trust her.

Nate, I watch a lot of talk shows,

and I've learned two things.

People cheat.

And once a ho, always a ho.

[rock music playing]

I'm so happy you're here.

It's gonna be okay.

Take three steps forward.

I can't. What if Red comes home?



He is just being smart, Gwen.

Smart and hot and brave.

- I'm not scared of somebody's grandpa.

- [coughs]

- [Jay yells]

- [Sherri shrieks]

Holy hell! I was just

trying to scooch by ya,

not scare the Milk Duds

out of all of us. [exclaims]

Hi, Ms. Runck.

Sorry, but my grandma's not home.

I know. I gotta pick her up at the dentist

soon because she's gonna be zonked.

But I thought I'd pop over first

and do a little grocery shoppin'.

So much easier than going

all the way down to the store, ya know?



Mom!

- Grab me some yogurts.

- Oh.

Oh, you know it's the beginning

of a relationship

when the guy still goes outside

to cut the cheese.

Jay, just come in.

- I missed you so much.

- Missed you too.

What?

He just get back

from Iraq or something?



They've been apart for one day.

Her grandpa banned him from the house.

Sounds like Red's being

a hard-ass like my dad.

He never believed in me.

Sometimes I wonder

if that might've screwed me up.

No.

Aw, that's nice, hon,

but I really think he did.

The point is, adults should be

more understanding. You know?



I mean, just throwing rules out at kids

is not the answer.

So you'll sign off on me getting a tattoo?



Sorry, lady.

I'm fine with you making mistakes,

but not permanent ones.

Tattoos, babies, and DUIs,

the unholy trinity.

Wait, isn't the dentist

like five minutes away?



Jay, why don't we go pick up my grandma?



I know this isn't

the sexiest thing I've ever said,

but I'm pretty sure

your grandpa can kick my ass.

But it would show him

how responsible you are.

Yeah, and while you're at it,

you gotta let Red know

that you're tired of him judging ya.

And still, to this day,

making you feel unworthy, disrespected,

and like you're not a good mom!

I feel like that wasn't all about us.

We have to try something.

Can we borrow your car?



Don't know if I should get

between you and your grandpa.

- We'll fill it up with gas.

- Here's my keys.

I'll stay here

and finish up my grocery shopping.

I know you're worried,

but all we have to do

is pick up my sweet, sedated grandma.

Give my regards to Broadway ♪

Remember me to Herald Square ♪

Your turn!

Something, something

Something, something, Broadway ♪

Old people seem to like this song! ♪

Big finish!

Give my regards to old Broadway! ♪

Gwen, stop encouraging her!

But this is fun.

She's high as a kite that's also on dr*gs.

[laughs heartily]

Grandma, can you please just chill out?



Boo!

- Yeah. Yeah. Boo!

- Boo!

- Wait. We just passed a tattoo shop. Stop!

- Forget it, Gwen.

My only job is to get her home safe.

Okay?

I'm not stopping for anything.

- Red light!

- [brakes screech]

[exclaims, snorts]

- [Kitty chuckles]

- Come on.

This is my chance.

Your grandma's out of it.

She'll sign the release.

Right, Mrs. Forman?



You want me to get a tattoo, don't you?



Yeah. And then let's steal a boat

and go to Vegas.

No. We're going home,

we're putting Grandma to bed,

and we're showing my grandpa

that Jay is a responsible human being.

[rhythmic mouth noises]

- Guess who?



- Oh my God!

- [laughing]

- [Leia gasps] Oh my God!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

[laughing]

We'll be quick.

Later, nerds.

[rock music playing]

Nik?



[laughing] What?

!

You?

! Here?

!

I mean, whoa!

Now?

How?

What?

Weird!

I told you I was gonna be here.

Right. Right, with your tutor.

I totally forgot about him. Where is he?



Oh, Trevor?

Here he comes.

[seductive funk music playing]

[in slow motion] Holy sh [bleeped]

[music fades]

Trevor, this is my boyfriend, Nate.

"Boyfriend"?



[snickering] More like "manfriend."

I can't grow any hair on my face,

but from the waist down,

it is wall-to-wall carpeting.

[in deep voice] And I'm Ozzie.

My pediatrician said I'll be 6'2".

- Oh. I've heard a lot about you.

- [Nate chuckles]

Nikki tells me

you're on the football team?



Yeah, but we couldn't do it

without guys like you

in the stands cheering us on. So

Actually, Trevor got

a football scholarship to Notre Dame.

Not that he needs it.

His dad's a congressman.

God bless America.

Well, this is fun.

And normal.

Thanks for stopping by, but we really

need to get back to studying.

Oh yeah. Super busy day on our end too.

Ozzie's lizard is sick,

and I have to help with the pills.

They go in the butt.

[chuckles] Okay, cool.

Nice to meet you, Nate.

Nice to meet you, Ozzie.

[in normal voice] I'm 25.

[laughs]

You're screwed.

[Leia sighs]

[both] What's taking so long?



Aw, we said that at the same time.

We're adorable.

I can't do adorable right now.

If your grandpa beats us home

- He's

- [both] Gonna k*ll us.

Okay, that was cute.

Finally.

- Let's see it.

- Oh, I bailed on the tattoo.

Some lady cut in front of me,

and it was taking forever.

I got a tattoo!

To Vegas!

[rock music playing]

So I was right.

That Trevor dude is

obviously trying to seduce Nikki.

I don't think he needs to try very hard.

How am I gonna save my relationship?



He's hot. He's smart.

He doesn't owe Nikki 70 bucks.

I got it.

I'll go kick his ass. Duh!

So you're the "let's bring him out" guy.

The what guy?



There's one on every talk show.

The host says, "Let's bring him out."

Everyone boos.

Then he says, "You don't know me."

Have you never seen a talk show?



- [theme music plays]

- [audience chanting] Ozzie! Ozzie! Ozzie!

Welcome back!

Today, we have Nikki and Trevor.

[audience] Aww!

They may look like the perfect couple,

but somebody has a problem with that.

Let's bring him out.

[theme music plays]

[audience] Boo!

Hey, you don't know me! You don't know me!

Nate.

Why don't you tell us

what's gotten you so upset?



That's my girlfriend,

and now she's hanging out with this chump,

and suddenly I'm not good enough for her.

Nikki?



Nate's fine, but Trevor stimulates

my mind and my body.

- [audience exclaims]

- Both?

!

That's impossible!

Not for me.

[audience exclaiming]

Nate, stop.

I'm done playing around.

Nik, you need to make a choice.

Is it him?

Or is it me?



Oh, then him.

This guy?

!

You don't know him.

You don't know him.

[audience exclaims]

Shut up! You don't know me!

- [audience booing]

- You don't know me!

Nobody knows you.

Stop saying that.

- [theme music plays]

- [audience cheering]

I need to talk to Nikki.

- And what are you gonna say to her?



- This is getting weird, dude.

We'll be right back.

[rock music playing]

A tattoo?

!

I don't even wear waterproof mascara.

Red's gonna k*ll me.

Gwen.

I know. But I stopped her

from getting a barbed wire tramp stamp.

So you're welcome.

Grandma, I am so sorry.

None of this was supposed to happen.

How are you cooking dinner now?



It is helping me deal with the stress

of waking up with a flipping tattoo!

What's the emergency?



D'you run out of eggs?



'Cause I don't know how that happened.

Look what happened at the dentist.

Holy crapola!

I heard of them feeling you up

when you're out, but this crosses a line.

My mother would be rolling in her grave,

if we hadn't spread her ashes

in the parking lot

of the Sizzler by her church.

Did you get one too?



You've been talking nonstop about tatties.

No. You told me not to get one,

and I always follow what you tell me.

Good. Those things are

a one-way ticket to whore town.

Sorry.

Are you sure there is no way

to get this off?



Is there a a special cream or something?



If there was I wouldn't have

Fred Flintstone riding a surfboard

on my hip bone.

[door shuts]

That's Red.

Good Lord, what is he gonna think?



Oh man, he's gonna be pissed.

Stomp around,

probably take away my allowance.

Sorry. It's a Dad flashback.

You need to get out of here.

No, I'm not leaving you here

to take the blame.

Cool. If he has

the blame thing covered, I'm out.

Hang on.

Take these. We're low on fresh produce.

[sighs] Don't let Grandpa see your wrist

until we figure out

the best way to tell him.

I do not keep things from my husband.

He is a reasonable man.

Down in hell,

there's this little room in the wayback

where the devil craps fire

into your mouth.

That's the DMV.

How was your day, dear?



Oh, it was just It was

It It was great.

Just, like, nothing crazy happened.

And what's he doing here?



Um

He brought Grandma the chicken.

[chuckles] From his garden.

Yes.

I was making supper.

I I have to get up inside there.

Oh yeah.

This is gonna be yummy.

Wanna take that chicken off your hand?



I do not.

I'm gonna go get the laundry now.

[rock music playing]

I am so disappointed in you.

All of you.

But especially you, little Kelso.

I was wrong the other day.

You are a complete waste

of a foot in the ass.

You never even gave him a chance.

You decided based on his last name

that you were going to hate him.

This is so unfair.

And that's what makes it fun for me.

Leia, he's right.

It is my fault, sir.

I was the one driving.

Look, I'm not proud of what happened,

but I do believe the mistakes we make

are what turn us into the men we become.

And I would like to become a man

worthy of dating your granddaughter.

- Get out.

- Already gone.

And you, go to your room.

[door closes]

Red, don't you think

you're being a little harsh?



Yeah, they made a mistake,

but nobody got hurt.

My wife is tatted up

like she's doing time at Rikers.

I'm starting to like it.

I feel like Rizzo from Grease.

All I asked you to do

was to give Kitty a simple ride home.

But you pawned it off on the kids

and turned it into a circus.

Like everything in your life.

You know what?



Screw you.

[scoffs]

You're such a blowhard.

You know how many years

I spent getting yelled at,

being told how much I messed up?



So you don't have to respect me,

because I finally respect myself.

And I don't have to stand here

while you yell at me anymore.

And thanks a lot for never teaching me

how to ride a bike!

Do I look like her father?



[Kitty sighs]

I brought you a little treat.

- What's with her?



- Oh, Red.

Leia is a teenager.

She's bursting with hormones

and bad decisions.

I was talking about Sherri.

Well, she's bursting with hormones

and bad decisions too.

I mean

If she has issues with her father,

let her go and yell at him.

Yeah.

It's not great when people blame you

for other people's problems.

[grumbles]

What?



Jay is not his father.

He could have run off,

let Leia take all the blame.

But you saw how he stood up for her

and took responsibility.

Michael Kelso would never have done that.

Michael Kelso glued himself

to our refrigerator.

I think you're setting the bar kinda low.

Well, look, Red. I'm guilty of it too.

Leia's right.

We never really did give Jay a chance.

- [Red sighs]

- Oh, oh, oh, oh!

I know that sound.

It means you're starting to come around.

While you're a little open-minded

Do you hate it?



Well, actually

- It's kind of adventurous.

- [Kitty giggles]

[murmurs playfully]

Oh!

I know what you're in the mood for.

Yeah. [chuckles]

Yeah!

[Nikki] Hey, babe.

Are you okay?



You didn't squeeze my butt

and say, "Hey, ladies."

Nik, I'm kind of freaking out about us.

- You've been spending time with Trevor

- Trevor?



Nate, there's nothing

between me and Trevor.

You know I don't like muscular guys.

I don't know how I feel about that, but

It's not just him.

It's all this other stuff.

The SATs, the studying.

I'm afraid you're gonna leave me behind.

Nate, I'm not going to college

to leave you behind.

I'm I'm going to college

so I can have a future.

Am I in that future?



Well, the future's not set.

There's no fate

but what we make for ourselves.

You're hot and you quote Terminator 2!

I can't imagine not being with you.

I need you to tell me

we're always gonna be together.

Hey, come here.

Babe, I don't know what's gonna happen.

All I know is that I love you.

And I hope that's enough.

It is.

- Feeling better?



- Yeah.

Hello, ladies. [chuckles]

Okay, well I have to head home for dinner.

- Are you sure you're okay?



- Yeah.

- Yeah, totally.

- Okay.

[melancholic rock music playing]

[knocking]

Hey there.

Listen, kiddo. I've been thinking.

If you really want to see this Kelso kid,

I'll give him a chance.

Really?



But you gotta be careful.

No more joyrides.

And he's not allowed upstairs. Fair?



So fair. I'll tell Jay everything

the next time I see him.

Uh-huh.

Already gone.

[Leia and Jay] Bye, babe!

[both] Aww!

[rock music playing]

I talked to Kitty, and I gotta tell ya,

I know you're not my dad.

For one thing, you're alive.

And also you're not a jerk.

Well, uh, are we here to chat or

or learn?



Now like we practiced.

[Sherri exhales]

My balance is probably pretty good

from all those times

I walked home drunk in high heels.

Oh, I'm doing it! I'm doing it!

All right, there you go. Now turn around.

Hey, I'm doing it.

Good job.

- Now, brake. Okay, now brake.

- Oh, whoa! [screams]

[crashing]

[Red] You idiot!

[Sherri] Don't worry. I'm okay.
