[bell rings]

? When I wake up in the morning and the alarm gives out a warning ?

? I don't think I'll ever make it on time ?

? By the time I grab my books and I give myself a look ?

? I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by ?

? It's all right ?

? 'Cause I'm saved by the bell ?

? If the teacher pops a test I know I'm in a mess ?

? And my dog ate all my homework last night ?

? Ridin' low on my chair, she won't know that I'm there ?

? If I can hand it in tomorrow it will be all right ?

? It's all right ?

? 'Cause I'm saved by the bell... ?

Zack, you're late as usual.

Sorry. I got here as fast as I could.

Take my seat. I insist.

Thanks, buddy.

No problem-o.

I'll sit on the credenza.

Screech! Screech! Screech, be careful.

You are ruining my office.

They say stress and tension causes irregularity.

Can we please get started?

Look, every year the senior class does a community service project.

Any ideas?

I could try to date more.

That would serve all the chicks in the community.

Great idea. I'll help.

You two live in a dream world.

Does anyone else have an idea?

Yeah. At my old high school,

we had this teen-line and rap room that worked real well.

Rap room?

I love that show.

I see Zack.

He's a doobie.

That's "Romper Room," you idiot!

A teen-line lets kids talk with other kids about their problems

without saying who they are.

A rap room lets kids talk face-to-face.

I think that's a great idea.

So do I.

I like it.

There's a few rules we have to follow.

Never ask a caller for their last name,

never ask for home numbers,

and never, never ask to meet them.

And if any problem is too big to handle and you need an adult,

I'm here.

I have a problem, Mr. Belding.

Yes.

I have this terrible rash.

I'll be in my office.

[telephone rings]

Ahh! Watch a pro at work.

[ring]

Hello, Teen-Line. This is Zack.

How can I help you?

Uh, no, this isn't Ling Chow's Pizzeria.

[telephone rings]

O.K., my turn.

Hello. Teen-Line. This is Lisa.

Hi, Shelly. How may I help you?

Oh, you're feeling overweight?

It's probably all in your mind.

How much do you weigh?

Oh.

Well, maybe it's not in your mind.

Have you ever thought about joining a school club?

That's an easy way of making new friends.

First of all, never wear white.

You'll look like shamu at a wedding.

You know, you might want to join Overeaters Anonymous.

Here's the number.

So what's your problem -- drugs, school, girls?

Talk to me, laddie. Here, have a seat.

My problem is I hate my bratty brother.

Hate your brother? You should be lucky you have a brother.

I'm an only child.

I have to play hide-and-seek with my hamster.

[ring]

Hello. Teen-Line. This is Zack.

Hi. I'm Melissa.

Hi, Melissa. What can I do for you?

I have a problem.

You called the right place.

My parents are totally too protective.

I can't stay out past 10:00, even on weekends.

What a drag.

Judging by your voice, you get lots of dates.

I see why your parents would worry.

Thanks, but they treat me like a baby. What do I do?

Before you go out, set all the clocks back two hours.

When you come home at midnight,

your parents will think it's 10:00.

Then mom bought me this blow-up doll.

Yeah, but my brother's a pain.

Will you stop interrupting?

Sheesh!

Now where was I?

Oh, yes.

The blow-up doll wasn't like a real brother--

I'll be right back.

Melissa Donahue. Nice name.

Where do you live?

Malibu. In the Hills.

You're kidding? I live in the Palisades.

You're five minutes from here.

I can't move that fast.

Do you know where the Max is?

You want a brother?

Take Tommy.

Oh, hi there, Tommy.

[hand buzzer]

First day -- we helped a lot of people.

I even scored a date.

I'm meeting a girl I talked to tomorrow at the Max.

Way to go, amigo.

Give me a fiver.

All in a day's work helping beautiful teen babes.

Look. It's not all right.

It's all wrong.

You broke the rules.

Bad boy, Preppie.

I take back my fiver.

She was willing to meet me.

All I did was say where and when.

That's not the point, Zack.

Callers are supposed to remain anonymous.

Well, fine.

Then I won't tell you her name.

Those rules exist for a reason.

Break them, you're asking for trouble.

Hi, guys.

Meet Tommy, my temporary little brother.

Isn't he cute?

Cute? Cute is for girls.

Oh!

Oh, my bunion!

Melissa? Zack? Hi, nice to meet you.

You're prettier than I imagined.

I owe it all to my parents.

Speaking of parents, did you take my advice?

Last night I turned the clocks back three hours.

Works every time.

Except I forgot to fix them.

Today my dad was three hours late for work.

If he asks, say the power went out.

Want to hear some music?

Sure. What's on the jukebox?

They change it every week. Let's go see.

So, uh, do you like Motown?

I love it.

Or...

Whoa!

You're in a wheelchair.

You're staring.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't expect you to be, um... uh, sitting.

Hey, it's O.K.

This wheelchair's no fun at parades,

but I'm a lot of fun in supermarkets.

Why didn't you tell me you were in a wheelchair?

Would you believe I forgot?

No.

I didn't say anything because most people get so freaked out about it,

they never stop thinking about the chair.

I wanted you to meet me first.

Look, I'm sorry I stared.

It was a surprise.

If you want to leave, I'll understand.

I'll wheel over your toe, but I'll understand.

No, I'm not leaving.

I said it was a surprise, and I like surprises.

I reserved a booth over there.

I'll get your coke.

Right in here.

Ahh... There. Much better.

So, um... may I ask how it happened?

Bungee diving.

- You're kidding! - Gotcha!

Just a little handicap humor.

Actually, I was born this way.

Physically challenged, as my dad calls it.

I'm really sorry.

Thanks, but I'm doing fine.

Hey!

Hey, guys.

Melissa, meet Screech, Lisa, Tori, and Slater.

Melissa's handicapped, but she's comfortable with it,

so get over it, O.K.?

I'm over it.

Mind if we joining you?

Not at all.

So, you're the girl Zack met on the Teen-Line.

Yeah. I think the Teen-Line's a great idea.

You must feel good, helping so many people.

We're gonna be at the Teen-Line tomorrow

if you want to come by and check it out.

Watch me in action.

That'll be great.

Oh, Screech, your cute little psychopathic friend is back.

Hey, guys, look what I found.

A really cool motorcycle helmet.

Where'd you get it?

Hey! Hey!

All right! Who took my helmet?

Take care of him, big brother.

Here.

Nice biker, nice.

O.K., Todd,

first get your father's car out of the lake,

and then find a big towel...

It's O.K., Zack. I can do it myself.

Just trying to help. Here you go.

[telephone rings]

Hello, Teen-Line.

Uh, I can barely hear you.

Wait a minute.

You're saying you're having trouble with your unruly little brother.

Yeah. He's a real brat.

Uh, help me.

You know, your voice sounds weirdly familiar.

Well, I don't know you, Lisa. Oops.

Screech, is that you?

No! No, it's not me.

Uh, this is Lars.

The real Screech could easily handle a 10-year-old nutcase.

I told you -- no calls.

I'm shy around boys, because I'm so tall.

Well, uh, maybe if you wait a couple years,

the rest of us will catch up.

Wish I could just shrink.

Is it O.K. If I say something?

Sure.

I know what it's like to be different,

but guys will start liking you more if you like yourself more.

For starters, stop looking at being tall as a problem.

Think of tall as beautiful.

The rest will fall into place.

Thanks a lot. Bye.

Well, now, that is pretty impressive, huh, Slater?

Eh, not really.

My cousin Julie's 6'7", barefoot.

No, dummy.

I meant what Melissa just did for Kathy.

Even though she's handicapped, she gave Kathy perfect advice.

Zack, my mind's not handicapped.

You can say that again. You're incredible.

Will you go out with me tonight?

I won't take no for an answer.

Sure. I'll turn the clocks back four hours.

You don't care that someone parked in the handicapped space?

I'm used to it. It happens all the time.

You've never done it?

Well, uh, yeah, but only when it's raining.

Hi, I'm the manager.

You wanted to see me?

Yes. This young woman's handicapped,

and someone has illegally parked in the handicapped space.

I'm sorry. I'll call the police.

It's not that important.

I also noticed that you have no wheelchair access to your rest rooms.

We're in the midst of renovating.

Why does she have to pay full price for a ticket

when she doesn't use one of your seats?

Everyone pays to see the movie.

There's a place for her wheelchair right here.

Thank you.

The problem is that people just don't care about other people,

especially disabled people.

The movie's about to start.

Let's not make this whole date about my disability.

I'm sorry. I just had to get a few things off my mind.

Good. Let's enjoy the movie.

Are you comfortable?

Yes. I'm O.K.

Do you want anything? Popcorn, soda--

Nothing!

Sir, would you mind slumping down?

My date's in a wheelchair.

So, Preppie, how'd your date with Melissa go?

What are you trying to say, Slater?

I just wondering what it was like.

You mean, dating someone who's handicapped?

Chill out, Zack. It was just a simple question.

Yeah. Huh. Forget I asked.

Has anyone seen Tommy?

No, Screech, you're safe.

Good. Has anyone see my clothes?

Here they are. Slater got them down from the flagpole.

I wonder how Tommy got them up there?

Uh, gang...

Uh, hi.

I have some bad news.

I just received word from the school board that the school's budget was cut.

What's that mean?

School's over? We graduate today?

No. All nonessential school programs have to go.

That means no more Teen-Line.

- What? - What?

After tomorrow, we'll have to shut down.

I'm sorry.

Hi, I have a date this weekend.

That's great, Kathy. Congratulations!

See? We're really helping people.

Mr. Belding said if we raise enough money,

we can keep Teen-Line open.

It's worth a try.

All right, everyone, think.

About what?

A way to raise money, doofus.

How about a bake sale?

Honey, you don't want me anywhere near a kitchen.

Hi, guys. Sorry I'm late.

Basketball practice ran over.

You're on the basketball team?

I love to shoot hoops.

Oh! You play basketball?

Every day in my driveway. You should see my hook shot.

Can you dunk?

Only doughnuts, but I still I love to play.

Wheelchair basketball happens to be a very popular sport.

I've seen the Lakers play charity wheelchair games.

That's right. Wait a moment.

We may not be the Lakers, but I'm getting an idea.

Whenever you have ideas, I end up in my underwear.

No, wait. Just listen.

Come here, guys.

[blows whistle]

Ha ha. I love doing that.

Welcome to Bayside's first wheelchair basketball game.

All the proceeds from ticket sales go to help the Teen-Line.

After the game, we're having a celebration dance,

so make like gum and stick around.

Teams!

Hey, Zack, guess what.

Tommy hooked my chair up to a turbo-booster.

I press this button, and I can go faster than the speed of light.

Teams, take your places!

Ready, Zack? Ready, A.C.?

No fair.

Violation on the red team.

Slater, the point of the game is to stay in your wheelchair.

Oh, sorry. Guess I got carried away.

All right.

Blue team takes the ball in bounds.

I'm open.

Good bounce, Melissa!

Holding up, O.K.?

I'm great. Quit worrying. Let's play!

All right.

Me, me, me!

Me, me, me!

No, no, no. You're not on my team, you ding-dong.

Me, me! Please, me!

O.K. Here goes.

Yes!

[crash]

Thanks, everyone. Great game.

Your support made a real difference.

We raised enough money to keep the Teen-Line open.

I have something else to say.

I want another round of applause for the real star of today's game--

the only one who has to be in a wheelchair -- Melissa Donahue!

All right! Melissa!

I can't believe we raised 1,000 bucks!

We should have another game to pay off my credit cards.

I owe you an apology.

For what?

When you suggested a wheelchair game, I had my doubts.

Help! Look out!

You really came through.

I wouldn't have had the idea if it weren't for Melissa.

Where is she anyway?

Here she comes.

Hey, Melissa.

Hey, Melissa, what's up?

Melissa, hey--

Wait up. Melissa!

That was a great game.

It was a great game until that little speech you made.

Do you have to keep reminding the world that I'm handicapped?

- But-- - You're just like my parents.

I can take care of myself.

Bye.

What was that all about?

Maybe she'd rather be your friend than your cause.

[rock music plays]

Hey, what's up, Kathy?

Your date looks pretty cool.

Yeah, he's all right,

but, um, you're the hunk I'm after.

Huh?

[slow music plays]

Excuse me. Just a moment.

Tommy, your brother's here.

Your mom wants you to come home right away.

No way.

Yes. Besides I miss chasing you around the house.

I hope you've learned a little lesson here.

I hope now you realize how valuable having a little brother can be.

Come on, guys. Big hugs.

Bye.

Sorry about losing Tommy.

You're probably going to miss the little guy.

Miss him. Are you kidding?

The little brat's gone. I'm free! Free!

I'm free!

Don't ask me.

Uh... Melissa.

Hi. Can we talk?

O.K.

Look, um...

I'm sorry I embarrassed you.

I'm not embarrassed by my disability.

Yes, I wish there were more ramps, parking spaces,

and more sensitive people.

I also want a chance to be a teenager like everyone else.

I guess your handicap bothers me more than it bothers you.

I've lived with it my whole life. I'm used to it.

I've never known anyone like you.

I'm just an ordinary girl.

Maybe I'll never win a roller blade race,

but I'm still capable of doing most things.

Don't treat me like I'm broken.

I'm sorry.

I guess I'm still learning how to act.

Act like you did on the phone when we first talked.

You kidding? Trying to act cool, coming on--

Perfect.

You liked that?

I met you the next day at the Max, didn't I?

Hey, you want to dance?

But how can you--

I'd love to. Come on.
