Monday, Monday, happy days. Monday, Wednesday, happy days. Wednesday,

happy days.

The weekend comes, I cycle home, ready to race to you.

These days are ours,

happy and free.

These days are ours, share them with me.

Goodbye gray sky, hello blue. There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.

You're so right.

It can't be wrong.

Rockin' and rollin', don't speak no.

Monday, happy days. Wednesday, happy days.

Thursday, Friday.

Round, round, get around.

I get around.

Yeah. Get around. Round, round. I get around. I get around. Get around. Just

me out of this one, all right, boys?

You know, I don't just sit in the back.

I don't just sit in the back and play with the flies all day, you know. I got

ideas.

I got one word for you.

Intercom.

I got one word for you. What?

Nosebleed. Two words.

You're going to challenge me? Never. All right, fine. Listen to me.

These babies are going to save us money.

You know, we'll cut down on mistakes, time, waitresses. I love waitresses.

All right, sit down right here, all right? Right here? Here's what you do.

sit there and place the order, all right?

While I go into the kitchen.

Go ahead.

Uh, yo, mister right there, man. I would like some cheeseburger and fries.

Go ahead, Fonz.

I would like the cheeseburger and fries.

Fonz, do it.

Come here. Come here.

You didn't like it, huh? Can't put anything over on you.

Thanks for your honesty.

Because it's a pool.

Oh, fine.

I've run into something of a crisis, and I need your help. Sure. Go ahead.

Oh, well, I don't want to be rude, Chachi, but this is kind of personal.

That's all right. You're among family. I think the time for rudeness is here.

Sure, don't seek my opinion.

I got a lot up here that's going to waste, pal.

Yes, you do.

Barnes, is there someplace more private we could talk? Oh, sure. Listen, why

don't we use Chachi's intercom? That way no one will hear us.

Hey, Mr. C.

The favorite department is now open. Well, it's really... Nothing, Fonz. I

need a girl for a fun evening. Whoa.

Hey, Mr. C. I can't believe you just said that to me. How can I look up to a

that is so low?

Listen, you don't say another word, I will pretend this never happened, all

right? Just want to leave?

Manny! How long have you been here?

Stop now.

Fonz, will you just relax?

It isn't for me. It's for some guy that's coming to dinner tomorrow night.

Mr. C, you just gave me Cadillac arrest.

Who is this guy?

Oh, he's a guy that went to college with Marion and I. Frederick Hamilton.

You know, one of those four -sport lettermen, president of the student

most popular guy on the campus. Everybody hated him.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this the guy?

That Mrs. T dated before she dated you? Yeah, that's the guy.

They not only dated, they were inseparable.

And do you know that when Richie was born, Marion wanted to name him

Oh, come on, come on. Let's put it in neutral, all right? I mean, you might

have dated her, but you won her pretty little heart fair and square.

I didn't win anything. He moved away, and I got her on the rebound.

And now you think he's coming back, he's going to sweep her right off her feet,

and they're going to ride off into the sunset in a white horse?

Oh, you think so, too.

No, no, no.

It was just an image I was using, that's all.

Look, Tom. Here's his picture.

All right, so he's a good -looking guy.

You think he's got a sister?

Fancy. Look, I'm sure that time has wreaked havoc on him the way it's done

you.

You think so? Oh, absolutely.

I mean, when was this picture taken?

Senior year of college, right?

It was in this month's Fortune magazine.

Mr. C, leave town.

I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding. I got a redhead for you. He's gonna knock

his socks off, all right?

Hey, Monique, where are you now? Do we need you, right, Mr. C?

What is taking your mother so long? You'd think royalty was coming.

I don't think I've ever seen her this excited before, Dad. You weren't at our

wedding.

What's the matter?

Oh, I'm just not looking forward to a boring evening of Frederick droning on

about his enchanting little villa in Monte Carlo.

He owns a villa?

He owns half of one. Cary Grant owns the other half.

Cary Grant? Wow.

There, you see?

Now, how can I compete with that?

Well, talk about sports. Talk about your heart. Oh,

great, great. I'm sure a conversation regarding the difference between copper

and plastic pipes would be very interesting to hear.

It might.

Dad, you know, I really think you're selling yourself short.

I think you're a very interesting person.

All little girls think their daddies are interesting and then they grow out of

it. Little girl?

Can't we ever talk like two adults?

Oh, sure we can. I'm sorry, sweetheart.

Is that what you're going to wear?

I'm going to wear this under my real clothes.

How do you get those things on? Do you spray them on?

The last time I try and help you. You want to help me? Put the papers away.

That's distant, Dad.

I'm going to get you another tie for your birthday.

Mary, aren't you ready yet?

Yes, Howard.

How do I look, Howard?

You take that off this instant.

Howard, Joanie's here.

Marion, it is not appropriate. Now, why don't you put on that beige wool dress

with the high collar, huh? It's an old coat that I wear to rake leaves. Yes,

it's tasteful and timeless.

Oh, I don't have my earrings. I feel naked without them.

It's not your ears that need covering.

I say, Monique, the date you requested.

Hiya.

Fonzie didn't tell me what a big, handsome, strapping guy you are.

Monique, Monique, Monique. That's the wrong guy.

Thank God.

Fonzie. Hold your ground, all right?

Fonzie, this is not going to work.

Why not?

Oh, look.

Need I say more?

All right, all right. Yeah, come on, Monique. This way.

Howard Cunningham.

Oh, you'll be staying with us, of course, huh?

Well, thank you, Howard, but I already have a hotel room. Well, just as well.

All the beds in this house are for normal -sized people.

You're looking great, old -timer. Yes, well, you seem to have stood up pretty

well yourself.

Thank you.

You know what? You've got a really lovely home. Thank you, thank you. We're

still adding a few touches. We're thinking of paneling the basement.

Paneling is nice.

Can you hear me up there?

light up the room like the aurora borealis.

Oh, you silver -tongued devil.

Oh, you haven't changed at all.

Oh, well, maybe a little gray around the temples.

Yes, where the dye wore off.

I've got these for you.

Oh, you better let me take those, boo -boo.

You see, Snooks here has hay fever.

And she's not allowed to be near any living thing.

Well, I hope you're not allergic to this.

Oh, Beaujolais, you shouldn't have.

Just a little something I picked up while I was getting on the plane in

I hope it goes with the meal.

Oh, it certainly will. We're having beef.

Just a little something I picked up getting into the car in Milwaukee.

Oh,

Frederick, we have so much to catch up on.

Oh, yes, we do. It's amazing how time flies, isn't it?

Let's see. The last time I saw you was at the senior picnic, wasn't it? Oh,

that's when we went boating.

Right. Oh, remember that crazy guy that followed us down the river in an inner

tube and almost drowned? I did not. The tube sprang a leak.

Was that you?

That's right. You were crazy about Marion, too.

Well, Howard, I guess the better man won.

No. Frederick, you've moved away.

Thank you, Marion.

If you want me, I'll be in the oven with the meat.

Oh,

Howard, I didn't mean it that way. I just didn't want Frederick to feel bad.

Oh, don't worry. I never feel bad.

You must be Mr. Hamilton. My mom's told me so much about you. She did?

When? Where was I?

Frederick, you haven't met Arthur. daughter. This is Joni. Nice to meet

pleasure's all mine.

We also have an older son, Richard, who's married and has a son of his own,

grandson.

Joni, why don't you get the photo album and show Frederick our entire family?

Yes, we've grown old together, Marion and I.

That's just wonderful. I envy you two so much. Being together all these years,

having that sense of stability. Yes, we treasure that sense of stability in our

golden years, don't we, Grandma?

That's enough. No, it's never enough.

Here's the photo album. I bet you don't have fun like this with Cary Grant.

As long as he pays half the rent, that's all I get.

You show Frederick the pictures, and I'll get the appetizers. Howard, dear,

don't you help me carry?

Oh, of course, sweetheart. Excuse us, will you, Frederick? Sure. I have to

Mary. She has a bad back.

Last year, we had to hang her upside down for a whole week.

Tough feeding her.

Uh, so, Mr. Hamilton, I've heard you've done a lot of traveling.

Oh, yes, yes, I've traveled all over the world. But I think next year I'll go

someplace else.

You know what I like about you young people? What? You've never heard these

jokes. Let's see what we got here.

Howard, would you get the cocktail napkins and tell me why you're acting

such a loon?

Well, I'm sorry, but that guy just makes me feel uncomfortable.

Why? Just because he's so handsome?

Well, that's part of it, Marion.

Oh, Howard, you know good looks don't mean that much to me.

And I thought I... wasn't going to have fun tonight.

Daddy's home.

Oh, Howard, look at this beautiful fruit basket.

Oh, that's nice, Mary.

Perfect scented. Burn it.

Marion, be honest for a second. When you look at me and then you look at him,

don't you sometimes wish that things were different for you?

Just because of his looks, money, looks?

Did I say looks twice? Yes, you did.

Oh, Howard.

When I was 17, Frederick was the perfect man to dream about.

You are the perfect man to live my life with.

Good, sweetheart.

Now let's throw out the fruit, huh? Oh, how sweet.

Oh, you cutie.

Good evening, Marion.

Well, Frederick, this is a surprise. We weren't expecting you. I was.

Frederick's my date.

See you later, Snooks.

Bye -bye, boo -boo.

Oh, did you see that? Our little journey is going out together on a date.

Where are you going?

Gun shopping, Mary.

No!

Now, Howard, don't get mad.

Well, they were out of Twinkies, so I had to get Ho -Ho's.

Get up there, Marion, and she's going out with him again tonight.

Oh, my.

Now, look, I didn't say one word to her, just like I promised you. But now that

you're home, I'm going up there and glue her fanny to the bed.

No, Howard.

Now, dear, you're too upset to talk to her. Let me try first.

Why don't you just go in the kitchen and put the groceries away? All right, but

if your talk with her doesn't work, I'm going to handle it my way.

Oh, my goodness.

If Frederick marries Joanie, I'm going to have a 50 -year -old son named Boo

-Boo.

Good. I'm glad I caught you here alone and sitting.

I got some really shocking news for you.

I thought you should hear it from a friend and not on the streets like I

You ready for this, huh?

Your daughter, my former girlfriend and future teacher of children, is going out

with some old geezer.

I know.

You know?

And you're sitting here scarfing down ho -hos?

Aren't you going to do anything?

Marion won't let me.

Well, just who wears the pants in this family, huh?

Mr. Cunningham, you've got to act fast.

This guy's been around.

You know, he's not looking for a date for the prom. This guy wants a little

-a -lam -a -ding -dong, if you know what I mean.

Now, you watch your mouth, Chachi.

I mean, look, Mr. Cunningham.

I mean, when I dated your daughter, you did everything but dust off her

fingerprints. Now you're letting her go out with this man.

Now look, Chachi, this is my family and I'll handle it my own way.

I gotta go upstairs and tell Fonzie.

And to think, you taught me how to fish.

I know, Joanie, Frederick is a very nice man.

That's why I used to go out with him. Mom, I think you're making more... I'm

glad you're going out, you're dating new people. But you know, Frederick isn't

exactly what you call a new person.

I mean, think about...

Age difference, dear. You're 20 and he's 50. When you're 30, he's going to be

60. When you're 50, he's going to be dead.

It's really hard to have a relationship then.

Mom, listen, Frederick is an interesting man who happens to be in town for three

days. Why are you making such a big deal?

Well, I just want you to be careful because relationships have a way of

out of hand. I don't want you to be hurt.

Mom, listen, this is not getting out of hand.

Tonight, we're just going to have a simple dinner in this hotel room.

Does that upset you? No, no, no, dear, no. You have to eat somewhere.

Well, you just run home and have a good time.

See you later.

You know, one of the most exciting experiences I ever had was when I was

down a jungle river.

Suddenly, a huge rhino attacked the boat.

It got within three feet of us, and the guide had to shoot it. Wow. You're in

Africa. No, Disneyland.

Oh. Well, all right. This is the moment of truth.

Voila.

So, this is chicken flambé.

No, that's garbage.

But that's all right. I know how to save dinner. I'll call room service.

All right.

I'll get it. Oh, thank you.

Just exactly. What are you doing alone in a hotel room with my daughter? Dad,

Frederick was just showing me a little French cooking. Oh, so that's what they

call it now, huh?

Now you stay out of this. This has got nothing to do with you.

You rat.

First my wife and now my daughter.

What have you got against me?

Oh, nothing, Howard.

You want to have lunch tomorrow? My treat.

All right, that does it. Put him up.

But before you beat me to death, I'm going to get one punch in. Now, just

it easy, Howard. I know how this must look. I'll tell you exactly how it

Guys like you travel all over the world taking advantage of young girls.

Why don't you try and seduce somebody your own age?

No, forget I said that.

Howard, will you relax a minute? Now, look, the only reason I'm seeing Joanie

because she's really a very bright, interesting woman.

Her?

No, no, sweetheart.

I didn't mean that you're not interesting. It's just that a guy like

really interested in interesting.

Well, that isn't how it sounded.

Now, listen, I can see that you two have a few things to discuss, so why don't

you go ahead and talk it out, and I'll go on down in the lobby.

Oh, and Howard, I've got to tell you that I'm sorry I stuck that pin in your

inner tube.

Daddy, when I was 14 years old, when I went on my first date, you followed me.

And tonight, when you came in that door, I felt 14 years old all over again.

I've never been so humiliated in all my life. I'm sorry.

Daddy, why can't you believe Frederick is interested in me for something more

than French cooking?

Why? I'll tell you why. Because he's a man, and you're my daughter, and I'm

uncomfortable talking about this. Well, I think we should talk about it.

I'm 20 years old. Why can't we ever talk like adults?

We talk. Oh, sure we do.

We talk about what time I'm supposed to be in, why I need to spend so much money

on clothes, and about me leaving my room so messy. Well, there you see, we talk.

Daddy, that's not talking, that's telling.

You know, it's nice to talk to someone about life.

Someone who's been places, done things.

Someone I can learn from.

Someone like Frederick. And someone like you. You know, I think you're a very

interesting person.

Me? Yes, you.

And I'd like to be able to communicate with you about something besides my

skirts being too short.

I'm just trying to be a good father, Joanie. Daddy, you're a great father.

It's just, even though I don't want you to run my life, I'd like to share it

with you.

I would like that very much. I love you, Daddy.

You blind fool. Get up.

Well, Mr. C, an error.

Come on. Get up here. I am so sorry.

What happened?

You mean you don't remember?

No.

All right, look. There were two guys that just rushed in on you.

And you knocked them out?

Okay.

Oh, Fonzie, how can I ever thank you? Oh, I owe you one.

Let's just say we're even, okay?

Okay.
