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. So

bright. It can't be wrong.

Locking and rolling. I'll be gone.

Monday, happy day.

Wednesday, happy day.

Friday.

had to give you a failing grade.

Why? I thought I did pretty good.

Well, that was an excellent drawing of the skeletal system of a fish. Thanks.

But it was an English test.

I wonder how I did on my biology.

Jessie, I've noticed that your work has been kind of erratic lately. Are you

feeling okay?

Yeah, I feel fine.

Well, things have been tough lately.

I broke up with my boyfriend. You know how it is. Oh, listen, listen. I know

things can get tough.

But I've looked up your records and you were doing well at Van Buren High. Now

you're almost flunking out of Patton.

That's a pretty big drop.

Well, things have been tough lately. I broke up with my boyfriend. You know how

it is.

Yeah, uh, look, I'll tell you what. I'll let you take a makeup exam at the end

of the week, huh?

Oh, you think it'll do any good?

Well, sure it will. Jessie, I'm always willing to go that extra mile to help

students do their best. Oh, great, because I really don't want to flunk

good. See you around, P. Okay.

Oh,

I'm such a good person.

Okay, I will.

All right, here goes the principal of what I found in the bathroom.

Hey, what's the matter, Fonz? Is she sick?

I don't know. You tell me. It's easy.

Oh, come on.

You know, her pupils are dilated.

Yeah, she took pills.

Her pulse rate is a little bit slow. Yeah, right. They're down.

You know, her breathing is shallow.

Roger, she's on dope.

Fonzie, this girl's on dope.

You know, we're very much like the tortoise and the hare, aren't we, Roger?

I didn't take any pills. I'm just tired.

Am I right here?

Well, Jesse, whatever is bothering you, drugs aren't the answer. If you have a

problem, you should come and talk to Mr.

Fonzarelli or myself.

I mean, that's what we're here for. Roger. Yeah. Can I talk to you for a

Yeah. I think what you're saying is superb.

Well, thanks.

But the young lady in question is fast asleep.

You know, a lot of students have been falling asleep lately while I've been

talking.

You know, maybe this drug problem is a little bit more widespread than we had

thought. Now, don't get yourself all riled, all right? I was about to fall

asleep myself.

Look,

why don't you take her to the nurse's office? That's a good idea.

I've got to think.

All right, come on, Jed.

Here we go.

Is Principal Phillips still talking?

No, the worst is over.

Well your friend took some sleeping pills about nine hours before bitty bite

time Listen I gotta call our parents and let them know I'm gonna suspend her no

no You can't kick her out of school Joanie we don't have the facilities here

deal with a drug problem what I'm still trying to get the pistol back from the

homecoming queen There's no place left And what am I supposed to do, huh? Put

her back in the mainstream of school and ignore the whole problem? Now, give me

back the phone, Tony.

I'm not talking to you as your cousin.

I'm talking to you as your boss. Now, give me back the phone.

Make me.

Tony,

gee whiz. Come on, give me the phone. Come on,

give me the phone. Excuse me.

What's going on here?

Tony won't give me the phone.

Roger won't let me help Jesse.

Right. I understand why you want the phone.

Why do you want the phone? What's on your mind?

Well, I'm not sure.

Oh, that's a well -thought -out plan.

Okay, listen.

Jessie knows me and trusts me.

Maybe a different environment would help. I'll call her parents and see if

can come home with me.

Now, what is that going to accomplish, huh, Joanie? Well, I can get to know

about her, find out why she does these things, find a way to help her.

Now, I'm just the dean of boys and you are the boss, but I think it's not a bad

idea. Yeah.

All right.

All right. Look, Johnny, you can give it a shot, but if it doesn't work, I've

got to suspend her. I'm sorry. All right. You can't ask for more than that.

right. All right.

Thanks, Rod.

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Just a minute, Mrs. C.

I stacked all your firewood right outside by the kitchen.

Oh, I wanted by the garage.

Oh,

I know why Richie moved away.

Now, dear, before you go back outside, why don't you have some hot chocolate?

There's some in the kitchen. Oh, thanks. And the little marshmallows are in the

flour canister. I have to hide them from Howard. I got it. Flour canister.

Well, where do you hide the flour?

Well, I put the flour in the coffee can, and then I put the coffee in the cookie

canister. I got it. I got it.

Marion! Marion!

Wait till you see what I got. It is going to be the hottest little item in

housewares.

It's wonderful, but this is empty.

And this is it.

A garbage can liner.

Someday every household is going to have one of these.

That's what you said about the musical can openers you got stuck with. It never

could play the tune right.

That's because you never turned the handle at the proper speed.

Mr.

Cunningham, you're going to kill yourself trying to blow that thing up.

No, Chachi, this happens to be one of the most progressive.

Where did you get the marshmallows?

He brought his own.

Jesse, just sit down and I'll get with you.

Oh, Mom, Dad. Hi, sweetheart.

Hi. I have a real big favor to ask.

Hold on.

There's a girl in the kitchen from my class, and she's having some problems.

I was wondering if she could spend the night.

Why, of course.

What's her problem?

Math? History? Chemistry?

Chemistry.

She's got a little problem with drugs.

Look, Joanie, ordinarily, a drug addict wouldn't be a problem.

But you see, we expect to be busy tonight.

We're going to sort out the firewood according to size and bark density.

Are you saying that she's not welcome?

Well, not exactly. It's just that we're not zoned for that.

Isn't that right, Marion?

I think so. I think so.

Can I say something? No.

I agree with Joanie. Oh, I'll listen to him then. Thank you.

Now, I've always felt that this was kind of a special family.

And I don't know what this girl does or why she does what she does, but, you

know, I just think that you're really the type of people that might be able to

help her.

Am I wrong?

Howard, I... Well, if you really think we can do some good, I guess we have to.

Oh, I love you both.

What is that? Get over here.

This is see you go, and you have to beat 18 seconds to win. Okay.

Let's see it, Marion.

Oh, that's a tough one. You'll get it, though, Marion. Not in a million years.

Ready? Go.

Song title.

First word.

Sounds like fly.

B.

Buzz.

Mouth. Chew.

Does chew.

Does your chew. Does your chewing of music flavor on the bedpost over me?

You got 17 seconds. You guys win. Oh, we won.

We won.

We just got lucky. We just got lucky.

No, Marion, you deserved it.

Oh, wasn't that fun?

I want to have another round. Yeah. No, I'm going to bed.

Oh. I'm all funned out.

Last game took it all out of me.

Well, don't worry.

He said the same thing on our honeymoon.

Oh, you know what? Let's go to the piano and sing some old songs.

No!

Look, I hate to break up the party, but I have to go home.

I have to study.

But you're not in school anymore.

All the more reason.

See you later, Jesse. Nice meeting you.

We can sing some other time.

I have to go upstairs and warm up Howard's side of the bed.

Well,

I hope an evening of popcorn and charades wasn't too boring for you. Oh,

was great. I could have done it all night.

We did.

Can you give me this table over here? Sure, thanks.

You know, Jessie, when I talked to your parents, I told them you were coming

over here so I could help you with some studying. Yeah, thanks for not

mentioning... Well, you know. That's all right. Listen, we all have problems.

But it'd be easier to solve them if you had a clear head.

I just need to relax sometimes.

It's not like I take drugs all the time. Hey, I'm not saying you do. I just want

you to think about making some changes in your life.

Miss Cunningham, you're right. I mean, you're absolutely right.

Yeah? And I'm going to pull myself together, I promise.

Oh, that's great, Jessie. That really makes me feel good. Me too. Hey, look, I

don't want to keep you up.

I'm going to watch some TV before I go to bed, okay?

Oh, I'll watch with you.

Will you help me move it? Sure.

I'd rather watch by myself. You know, I think about everything you said.

Oh, okay. Well, that's great. I'll see you tomorrow.

You remember where Richie's room is, right? Uh -huh. Okay.

Well, Jesse, there you are. Never too old for Captain Kangaroo.

How do you like your eggs, dear?

Jesse?

Oh, Jesse?

Howard! Jesse?

Jesse? Oh, Howard, get down here. What's the matter?

Jesse?

Hey, Jesse.

She's passed out cold, Marion. Call an ambulance. Oh, I should have known

something was wrong. No teenage girl ever wears... the same outfit two days

row.

Hello,

this is Marion Cunningham. We have an unconscious girl here.

Where? Well, right on the couch in the... Uh -oh.

Our address. This is 565 North Clinton Drive. It's that beautiful little two

-story colonial... Marion!

Hurry, please!

What's going on down here? Your friend Jessie has passed out cold. She passed

out? Jessie!

We called an ambulance.

Well, maybe she just...

Sure, on a jar of pills.

Daddy, we don't know that.

Yo!

Oh, no, Daddy. I can't let Roger see Jessie like this. He'll kick her out of

school. Go on.

Hi, Roger.

Hi, Johnny. How'd it go last night? Oh, great. Just great, yeah. Oh, look what I

found.

This is a picture of your mom and my mom when they were 12 years old trick -or

-treating. They win as George and Ira Gershwin.

I've got to tell your mom. No, no, you can't.

Why? Because she's upstairs taking a shower. Oh, all right. I'll tell Uncle

Howard. No, no, no, no, no, you can't. Why?

Because he's upstairs, too, washing his socks in the runoff.

What's going on out there?

Oh, look at this picture.

There is an ambulance outside, and you're showing me the Gershwin?

After taking a lot of drugs.

See?

Let's go.

Hey, listen, I'm going to call her parents.

All right, look, follow me to the hospital. We're getting there faster.

Yeah, Nurse Kelly, listen, thanks for the info.

Of course I'm going to be there at 8 o 'clock, right?

Whoa.

How's Jessie? Oh, yeah, she's fine. They just let her go home.

I never want to go through that again.

I hope she doesn't go through this again.

Oh, Fonzie, how could she pull a stunt like that?

After I put myself on the line for her.

Yeah, doesn't she have all the nerve?

Well, don't worry. I've learned my lesson. I never want to get involved

people like that again.

You know, this reminds me of when you were eight years old. You were playing,

what was that game? Candy Land, right? With Jenny Piccolo.

When you were winning, boy, you wanted to play that game. As soon as you landed

in that molasses swamp, you hit her over the head, you didn't want to play no

more. Fonz, I was just a kid then.

Well, that's the way you're acting now.

I mean, just because Jesse ain't doing what you want him to do, all of a sudden

you don't want to play no more. Fonz, I wasn't playing. I really wanted to help

her. Why?

Joanie, this is very important. Why did you want to help her?

So people could pat you on the back and say, hey, you're a hero?

So that Jesse could say, I'm going to tell you something, Joanie Cunningham

really turned my life around.

Well, what difference does it make? I couldn't do it. A very big difference.

This is not Candyland. This is life.

And if you're doing this for yourself, cut out, Joan.

On the other hand, if you're doing this for Jesse, then I say don't let her go.

If you're doing this for Jesse, don't let her go. He thinks he's so smart.

Mom!

Wait a minute, Jody.

We're going with you. Who knows what kind of a hellhole that kid lives in.

Oh, this couldn't be the Broderick house, could it? I hope so. We've been

here for 20 years.

I'm Jenny Cunningham, Jesse's teacher, and these are my parents, Howard and

Marion. Oh, yes, please come in. How do you do?

It's nice to meet you. I'm Gwen.

I brought you some cookies.

Oh.

You shouldn't have.

That's what Howard said.

Can I see Jesse?

She's in her room. I'm sure she'd like to see you. Oh, dear. Come on, I'll take

you. Thanks.

I sure didn't expect this place to look like this.

Look, Howard, they've got the same beaver picture over there, Madeline.

There must be a copy.

Please don't look at that silly thing. That's just there to cover the hole in

the wall.

Please sit down.

I'd like to thank you both for everything you did for Jessie.

Well, we're just so glad that she's all right.

This must be...

Very hard on you. It is.

I don't know. We've tried everything.

We tried coming down hard on her.

We tried to be understanding.

We even sent her to a clinic and she ran away. We just don't know what to do

anymore. Yeah, well, I understand how it is with teenagers.

I remember one time our son Richard, he went to a stag party without our

permission.

Oh, well, I guess that doesn't even come close, does it?

I'm afraid there's nothing to do with Jessie until she admits she has a

I'm sorry we had to drag you.

Why don't I put these on a plate?

A lovely person.

Yeah. You know, the problem must be with the father. I bet he's never home.

Hi, I'm Martin Broderick. You must be the Cunninghams.

You're home. Nice to meet you.

Pardon the sawdust. I've been paneling the basement.

Oh, Howard's been talking about paneling our basement for years and years.

About Jesse, I want to thank you both for what you did for today.

If there's anything we can do for you.

Well, I wouldn't mind seeing your handiwork down in the basement.

That would be a pleasure. You just give me one minute, I'll sweep up the mess.

Howard, they are just so, they are so normal.

Why, they're just like... They're just like you and me, huh, Marion?

You know something?

You and I have really been lucky with Richie and Joanie.

Yes, I guess having a lovely home just doesn't protect you from having these

troubles.

Milton says we should all come on down.

Oh, thank you.

Now, Howard, don't start telling him how you could have done this cheaper.

Look, I don't want to talk about it anymore.

Jessie, last night you sounded so positive about making some changes in

life. Hey, you're not getting this, are you? I didn't want to get kicked out of

school or sent to some crummy clinic, so I was just using you. Fine, use me.

But I'm still going to try and help you straighten out.

Hey, I can quit whenever I want.

Jessie, if you could do that by yourself, you would have quit by now.

Hey, why don't you leave me alone?

You don't have any clue why I do what I do. Jessie, I was 15 once.

Sorry I missed the party.

You know...

I wish I had a dime for every time I wanted to lock myself in my room and

come out.

Here's a dollar. Take your time.

Jesse, will you just shut up and listen to me for ten seconds?

You know, when I was 15, I used to feel so icky.

I always felt so awkward and unpopular.

I thought my parents didn't understand a single thing I felt or thought.

I thought I was going to feel that way for the rest of my life.

But here it is.

Five years later, and I feel so good about my life, Jesse.

Everything is coming together for me.

I'm so excited about the future.

Well, in five years, we can get together and talk about how great my life is.

Jesse, don't you see?

You might not have five years.

If you keep taking drugs, you could wind up dead.

And if you're not dead, you may not have a brain to know what you are.

Those aren't exactly smart pills you've been taking.

Jesse.

Why don't you just let me be your friend?

And if ever you want to talk, I'll be there.

Miss Cunningham?

Yeah? Get out of my life!

You know, I haven't been feeling very good today.

And, uh... Well, I thought if you could come over tomorrow, we could talk.

Is 3 o 'clock okay?

3 o 'clock.

Thanks.
