Monday, Monday, happy day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, happy day.

Thursday, Friday, happy day.

So we can come, let's tackle home, ready to race to you.

These days are ours.

Oh, happy day.

These days are ours. Oh, baby.

Goodbye, gray sky, hello, blue.

There's nothing can hold me when I hold you. So right.

It can't be wrong.

Rockin' and rollin' all week long.

Monday, Monday, happy day.

Tuesday, Wednesday, happy day.

Thursday, Friday, happy day.

Saturday, what a day.

Rubin all week with you.

Please stay dry.

Hey,

wait a minute, young lady. What are you doing dressed like that?

Well, it's Saturday.

Well, I know it's Saturday, but that's not an excuse to go around looking like

something out of a girly magazine.

A girly magazine? Thanks, Dad.

Not dressed like that, you won't. Aw, Dad.

Your robe, young lady.

I'll get it.

My tongue is tired anyway.

I'm getting worried about that young lady. And you have every right to be.

She takes after your side of the family.

Good morning, Mr. C. Good morning, Chachi. How's it look?

Oh, that just looks very intimidating.

Thanks. Well, that's working the other one.

Hey, Mr. C.

Chachi. Hey, is Rich around? He told me he'd loan me his barbells.

I think he's bringing them down now.

Oh, hi, Francis. Hey, thanks for holding the barbells to me. That's okay. Keep

working out. You'll have a body like mine.

Did you sleep late, Richard?

Nope. I've been upstairs pacing.

I've got an announcement to make. You cleaned up your room.

Dad, this is very serious. I'm going to get a part -time job.

Hey, Rich, where's the power flexor?

Upstairs in my bedroom.

All right. Now about the job.

Look, I've rearranged my schedule at college. I got all my classes in the

morning so I could work in the afternoon. And, Dad, I just need to have

money of my own. That's all.

Dad, I'm tired of having to ask you for money all the time.

Lori Beth and I wanted to go see the Shirelles live in concert. Could we

to go? No.

So we wound up shooting baskets at the gym.

And I need a new raincoat. The one I've got's embarrassing.

It's got little logs for buttons.

Dad, you've got all your own problems.

Joni's going to be going to college next year, Dad.

Have you thought about that?

Not since six this morning when I woke up in a cold sweat.

Howard, why don't you put Richard on at the hardware store?

Well, I could use a new stock boy. No.

Mom, a guy has got to be able to stand on his own two feet sometime.

I don't want help from my parents.

I'm going to go out on the open market and I'm going to get myself a job.

Good luck.

Wow.

Howard, just exactly where is the open market?

Boy, you offered me a job as a buff boy.

I've been a paper boy. I want a man's job.

I don't know, Rich.

You've got a lot of experience at being a boy.

This job is a critical step for me, Al. It's got to be a career move.

My feet are in the starting blocks, Al, and I'm ready to start my dash through

life.

Boy, that's beautiful.

Well, I am a writer.

Starting blocks. You know, with your feet in the starting blocks, I'll be at

chopping blocks.

Not so beautiful.

Well, I'm not a writer.

Except those letters to Rosa Coletti.

That was writing.

Richard!

Richard!

Hey, guys.

You're Charlie Cardinal. Not exactly. But we're trying to be.

But there's only supposed to be one UWM mascot.

That's our gimmick.

Instead of just one Charlie Cardinal, there'll be two.

Yeah, one for each sideline. Get a load of this. Come here, Mal. Ready? Ready.

UWM! Rah, rah, rah!

The Cardinals are here!

At

least

you're off to a flying start.

We'll meet lots of people and make great contacts with Charlie Cardinal. Right,

we'll go to all the alumni meetings.

Get our pictures in the paper. This is good for our future. We'll be very, very

popular. Get a load of this.

Hi there.

How'd you like to join me in my net?

Why don't you fly south for the winter?

We may fly south for the winter, Pops.

Let's fly out of here.

I don't know. Since it's a nice day, why don't we walk?

Hey, guys.

Two worms to go.

Some people are so silly. Hold my feathers in the back there, Pops. What's

difference? You'll never get off the ground.

Rich,

look. I want you to look at the classified I got for you here. Look at

Milwaukee Journal.

Seeks responsible mail.

Benefit and potential advancement.

It sounds terrific.

Al.

Al, this could be it.

Richie Cunningham, reporter.

Oh, wow.

All right. cup reporter.

Oh, so I'm a copy boy. What's the difference now? It's the Milwaukee

isn't it? Oh, thanks a million.

Oh, come on, Rich. It's nothing.

Hey, maybe in your first column you could review the food at Arnold's. Yeah,

could. I'd have to be honest, though. Why?

to me, Cunningham.

Oh, uh, Ralph and Patsy. Me? Say no more.

You can have your bouffant. Yeah, listen, I want you to meet Candy and

Watch this.

They're twins.

There's no putting anything over on you.

Hi, I'm Randy.

Hi, Randy.

And I'm Candy.

Hi. I'm glad you did that. I don't know myself.

Well, I'd love to stay and chat.

I'd love to stay and chat, but I gotta go. I gotta go.

I'm gonna miss the best part.

Take it.

That's amazing.

Can I try that? No.

job interview anyway.

You got a job interview?

Yeah, it could be my big break. It's for the Milwaukee Journal.

Well, you're great. You're going to do it. Knock your socks off. Yeah, I will,

Fonz.

Hesitation coming in?

Oh, well, yeah.

How many job interviews have you had? Not counting today? Yeah.

None. In my office.

Hey, Al, take care of my friends here, all right? Let them sit down and rest

their batons.

What do you have? You're following me.

I thought you were going to give me some tips. I am. Get out. Come in. Knock.

Right.

Come in, interviewee.

What's with the shows?

Posture finds.

You look like you're hung on a rack.

Am I natural?

Yeah. All right. Try it again.

Come in.

Hello? Hello?

What are you trying to say when you say hello?

Your problems are for me. I'm it.

I never realized hello had so much going for it. Yeah, we're talking sincerity,

personality, teeth. Show me those pearly ways.

All right, Fonz. Yeah, come in.

Yo!

Hello!

I can live with you. All right.

Down here.

Step two.

Introduction. Who are you? What do you want? My name is Richard Cunningham. I'm

here to apply for the job. Why?

Huh?

hard worker.

I'm always on time, and, uh, I'm good to my mom. Oh, Cunningham. You got me all

confused, fine.

Exactly. All right.

Hello? Yeah, listen, I'm in the middle of an interview here, right?

Thanks so much.

Yeah, phone company?

Ethel? Hey, cutie, listen, hold my calls, will you?

I also want you to know that I'll be graduating from college next year.

going to get your D .H .T.? That's P .H .D. You don't correct the boss.

No, it's Mr.

Fonzarelli. Right, Mr.

Fonzarelli. Here we go. Third step, all right? Final argument.

Take it away.

To sum it up. Good.

I feel that I'm the man for the job, and the job is for me, and vice versa.

Hey, that's a nice turn phrase.

I believe in the old maxim. For every man, there is a woman. And now you're

getting to me, Cunningham. And for every job, there is an employee.

Yeah. I, sir, am... That employee.

Thank you.

Uh, what do you think, Fonz?

All right.

Thanks, Fonz.

Hello.

Welcome to the Milwaukee Journal.

I can't believe it. I got the job?

Look at this. Two phones.

have an on -the -job training program?

Oh, sure, sure.

Uh, dem bundles come down dem chutes, we load them on dem trucks,

boom!

That's the end of the training program.

Um, bundles, uh, chutes, trucks, boom! I got it.

You're fast, kid.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this opportunity, but I do have to tell

you one thing. It won't be long before I'm going to be upstairs writing.

Let me tell you something. Any dimwit can write, but without us to load the

papers, who's going to read them, huh? I guess nobody.

Yeah. Now, you take dear Abby. I mean, she is a great writer. She does, you

know, literature.

Does she load papers?

Uh -uh.

Who's he?

Now, that's Cunningham. He's our new helper.

start at $2 .25 an hour. $2 .25 an hour? That's what I get, and I've been here

nearly three years.

You know I've been trying to get you a raise.

He's been trying. Well, maybe he's been trying, but he's not trying hard enough.

I deserve it. He deserves it. Why don't you write to Congressman?

Now, there's an idea.

Listen, I am going to go across the street to Acorn's and have a cold one.

show Cunningham the ropes, all right?

See you around, Otis. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Heck of a guy.

Put this on.

Thanks.

Where do I get one of those hats?

Make your own.

Those bundles look kind of heavy.

Where's the forklift?

Forklift? Yeah.

Come here.

Do this.

You just found your forklift.

I think this place could use some...

time -saving devices. You know, I'm going to give it some thought and talk

Otis.

Hey, listen, smart college guy.

You think you're going to come in here with a lot of big ideas and jump over me

for Otis's job? You got another thing coming.

Frank, the only thing I'm thinking about is how to get this on.

Understand? Okay?

Hey, Cunningham.

Yeah? You know how to file?

Well, that shit.

A reporter really wears you out, doesn't he? Oh, he's asking all those

questions. Yeah.

Good job.

He got the job.

I think he's too tired to speak.

That's all right. I speak tired.

Huh? Hey.

He had a great day.

Did it happen?

He's in circulation.

Cancel circulation.

He's putting the bundles of papers on the truck.

He just loves it when the papers come down that chute.

This guy named Frank, it's bothering him. All right, don't you worry about

I'm going to come down tomorrow and check him out.

Well, come on, let's have dinner.

All right, I'll see you guys later.

He's too tired to eat. Oh, well, let him sleep.

Arthur, why don't you have dinner with us? What are you having?

Yeah, meatloaf. Oh, yeah.

Frank, I know how we can make this whole operation run a lot smoother.

See, instead of having a separate delivery sheet for each location, I will

one master delivery sheet, and then we'll only have one sheet to file.

You crushed your sandwich. Forget about the sandwich.

Cunningham, I warned you when you started here. Don't rock the boat.

I'm not rocking the boat. I'm only seeing if we can paddle a little faster.

Not only are you trying to steal my job, you're a comedian.

I'm not trying to steal your job, Frank.

You know, I've had it up to here with all you smart college guys always trying

to change things.

Well, you watch what you're doing for crying out loud.

Them drivers ought to have training wheels on them trucks.

I'm not through with you.

Listen, I gotta go off to circulation.

Why rush off, Otis?

I mean, uh, don't you want to stick around and chew the fat a little?

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

Frank, I think we ought to be able to discuss this, you know?

I'm through talking, Cunningham. Hey, hey, take it easy, Frank.

Listen, Frank, I just want to tell you something. Look,

I don't want your job.

came to warn you that the sky is falling.

Sign a petition, Rich. Yeah, if we get a hundred names, we're on the Cardinal

Pep Squad.

All right, here you go.

Hey, Bertie's out.

Who's he?

Frank. Will he sign a petition?

Well, I don't know. Do you want to sign it? You know, they're trying to be

mascots with the outfit, the beak. Call, call, one -on -one field.

He doesn't want to sign it. He's very serious about it.

But if you guys go to the editorial department, I think you can get a lot of

signatures up there.

Great idea.

Maybe they'll do a story on us. The Charlie Cardinal story.

Pictures. Interviews. Yeah, but first we have to figure how we're going to get

upstairs with these bird feet. Why don't you try walking?

See you later.

See you, guys.

Hey,

Cunningham, why didn't you get your birdie buddies to gang up on me? Well,

because I thought we could talk it out like, you know, mature adults.

All right, now, now, wait a minute, Frank. Come on, man, this is crazy.

No, it's going to make me feel real good. I'm going to stick your nose in

left ear.

I'm just pleased I come down to see how you are, Richie. Those guys in

circulation are driving me crazy. Come on in here, the doc. I need you, Frank.

don't think them guys can read much less power for crying.

I'm glad you showed up.

You got problems?

I have problems. You might say that. The man is talking hitting.

Detail. Oh, well, I'm trying to make this place run a little bit efficient,

know? So I've got some ideas, but Frank thinks I'm trying to steal his job.

So I just wish you'd talk to him, Fonz.

No. Ah, thanks. I... No?

Why'd you take this job?

Well, you know why I took it. I was trying to make some extra money. You

wanted to buy that neat coat.

Why do you think Frank is here?

I... Food.

Rent. Maybe he's got a wife at home with baby.

Yeah, it's fine.

Hey, look, this could be his whole life, right? You're making him nervous.

I'd be nervous, too, if some bright -eyed, bushy -tailed college kid came in

here and tried to change everything right away.

Well, I'm only trying to make things better. If a man is hanging from his

fingertips, you don't want some guy walking over his cuticles.

Maybe I was being a little pushy. Yeah, and he's pushing back.

What can I do about it now?

You show them that you can be a team member before you're a star?

You see what I'm talking about, Frank? I'd just like to get a hold... Hold it,

hold it.

What is this?

Master delivery sheet, huh?

Who done this?

I did, Otis. I thought that one sheet would save time and cut down on filing.

You did this, Frank?

Yeah, sure.

It was my idea.

What are you, some kind of an idiot? How am I supposed to file it?

This goes to editorial.

This goes to distribution.

This goes to... Oh, I told you. It was my idea.

Frank was just sticking up for me because I'm the new kid around here.

Well, if you want to stick around long enough to be the old kid, don't do

anything without checking first.

Boy, what a mess.

This whole thing has to be done over here now.

It was my fault.

That's right, it was.

I think I'm starting to get the idea. I think you're doing great.

Hey, Fonz, would you come over and meet Frank?

Yeah, lead the way.

Frank, I'd like you to meet a good friend of mine, the Fonz.

Fonz, this is Frank.

I read your paper.

Thanks. Don't you work at Bronco's Garage?

Yeah, that's right.

What do you drive?

51 Chef. My favorite.

Hey, I never knew that.

I've been needing a fuel pump lately, but I'm a little short.

You can always work something out. Oh, yeah, yeah. You can always work

out. Thanks. If you ever need your newspaper a little early.

I can dig it. I can dig it. Listen, you guys got some work to do. I'm going to

take off, right?

Pretty soon you're going to be up there right in the door.

Thanks. Bye.

I still think you're a little wacky, but I made you a hat.

My own hat?

Hello!

Oh, Dad.

Rich. I gotta show you something.

My first real paycheck.

Congratulations. Thanks.

They also took out real federal taxes, real state taxes, and real social

security taxes.

There's not much real money left in this thing.

Welcome to the real world.

Hello, Richard.

Hi, Mom. Ready for dinner?

Oh, listen, I had an idea. I thought maybe that, uh... Well, you know, I

take the whole family out to dinner. Oh, that is so sweet of you, Richard.

But dinner's already in the oven.

It's important to us. He wants to pay for it. Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Look. I forgot to turn the oven on. Oh, Mary.

How could you do... Richard.

Is that dinner invitation still open? You got it. Oh, Joanie, come on. Your

brother's going to take us out to dinner. All right, big fender.

Forgot to turn on the oven?

Thanks. Dad.

Oh, Dad.

Do you think I've got enough here for dinner?

Let me see.

I'll take care of the tip, Richard.
