[ Cheering, horns honking ]

Around the end of 1969, a funny thing happened...

5, 4, 3, 2...

[ Explosion ]

1970.

[ "Auld Lang Syne" plays ]

Not that anyone was paying much attention.

[ Chanting ] Peace now!

Still, with a new decade on the books,

maybe it was time to heal old wounds,

get over old hurts.

It was possible.

After all, I'd gotten over Winnie Cooper.

Hi, Kevin.

Hi.

Yep. Winnie and I were friends now.

I like your shirt.

Oh. Thanks.

Can you believe all this history homework we're getting?

I know what you mean.

That incredible smile. The way she tossed her hair.

The heart-stopping lilt of her perfume...

I was over that.

Really!

Well, see ya.

See ya.

There you had it... hello and goodbye.

Winnie and I were just a memory now.

Not like Paul and Carla.

They had something special.

[ Cash register dings ]

She dumped me.

Paul...

She dumped me!

Paul, snap out of it!

She... Dumped...

Me.

Want to talk about it?

She said she needed more time with her friends.

She said I was suffocating her.

I thought she wanted to be suffocated.

[ Sighs ] What am I gonna do?

Paul was in pain.

I had to come up with something sensitive.

You want an ice-cream sandwich?

How about after school we go to the movies?

[ Sighs ]

Carla and I used to go to the movies.

It was worse than I thought.

[ Bubbling ]

Paul, you can't let Carla see you like this.

You want her to feel sorry for you?

You think she would?

No, that's not what I meant.

You just can't sit around looking pathetic.

You have to do something.

[ Scoffs ] Like what?

Well, maybe... You have to make her jealous!

Huh?

Maybe you ought to...

Go out with somebody else.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe I should do it.

I can do it, can't I?

Of course you can.

Yeah, I can.

So, let's see. Who you gonna ask?

Uh...

Well, who do you like?

[ Sighs ]

Carla.

I was losing him.

If Paul was gonna be saved, there was no time to waste.

[ Whistle blows ]

Unfortunately, the board of education

insisted on it.

In wrestling, men,

the most important muscle to utilize...

Is right here.

How about Allison heath?

I saw her watching you in English.

[ Sighs ] Too dumb.

Okay...

Angela lands. She's smart.

Her head's too... Ovalish.

Okay, Johnson, Oasley... on the mat!

Jill Simons!

She's pretty without her glasses.

She reminds me of a banana.

So, we'd narrowed it down to no stupid,

oval-headed, or fruit-shaped women.

[ Whistle blows ]

Concentrate!

Come on, Paul.

Are you gonna put down every girl in this class?

Well, no.

Not everyone.

Who did I leave off?

I'd rather not say.

Why? Why, do you like her?

Well, maybe... A little.

Well, this is perfect! You gotta go out with her.

I'm not gonna ask her out.

Paul, who is it?

Winnie Cooper.

[ Bomb whistling ]

[ Explosion ]

Winnie Cooper.

Really?

Well, I've known her a long time,

and we're already friends, so...

And it wouldn't be like a "date" date.

Okay, that was reasonable.

Well, maybe you should ask her out.

Nah. Bad idea.

Why?

For one thing, the whole idea of me and Winnie...

that's ridiculous.

Uh-huh. That was true.

And besides, there's the other thing.

What other thing?

Well, aren't you...

I mean...

Don't you still...

Paul, you're telling me

that you wouldn't go out with Winnie

just because you think I'm still...

it doesn't matter. I couldn't ask her, anyway.

Well, maybe Paul couldn't...

But I could.

Ask him out?

You mean "ask him out" ask him out?

Well, yeah.

Why?

Well, it's kind of hard to explain.

See, it's a long story.

See, Carla dumped Paul, and Paul's feeling... Dumped.

And I think it would really pick him up to go out with you.

Well, does he know you're asking me?

Not exactly.

Well, why doesn't he ask me himself?

Well, Paul's kind of shy...

and [Scoffs]

He thinks I still...

you know, that you and I...

Well, he's got the wrong idea.

You know, I tried to tell him,

but, you know, it's Paul.

Oh.

And you really think it's a good idea?

Yeah! I think it's a great idea!

And I did.

At least, I think I did.

Okay, then.

I'll ask him to the movies tonight.

Great.

There. Nicely done.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

This was gonna work out great.

[ Sighs ]

So, what's up?

Me?

Nothing.

Uh-huh. Like I didn't know.

Winnie Cooper just asked me to the movies.

You're kidding!

I mean, isn't this an amazing coincidence?

I mean, we were just talking about her.

And now she goes and asks me out.

Pretty amazing.

I mean, she asked me out.

Winnie Cooper asked me out!

Okay, okay, I got the picture!

Heck, I painted it!

Look, Kev...

If there's a problem, just say the word,

and I'll forget about the whole thing.

No, Paul, we've been all through this.

I'm glad she asked you out.

You are? You sure?

I'm sure.

Great.

And it was great.

Great to see Paul smiling again.

Well, grinning, actually.

More like... Beaming.

Uh-huh.

You had to feel good about it. [ Sighs ]

That night, I slept the sleep of the just.

[ Clock ticking ]

Woke up bright and early the next morning...

[ Rooster crows ]

Got a head start to beat the morning traffic...

[ Buffer whirring ]

And went about the business of starting a new day.

[ School bell rings ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Whistling ]

So, uh... How'd it go last night?

Fine.

Fine? Okay. "Fine" was good.

Fine was fine.

Fine was...

[ Sighs ] Isn't it a great day?

Huh?

Isn't it amazing how one day you feel like

you can't get any lower, and the next day...

You're great?

[ Clears throat ]

So... Heard from Carla yet?

Huh?

Oh, no. Not yet.

Not a word.

You'll probably run into her at lunch.

You two'll probably be back together by the weekend.

I don't think so.

Why not?

I'm busy this weekend.

I got a date.

Hmm...

Yes, we're going out again.

Really?

Why?

Nothing. It's just...

I'm... Surprised, that's all.

Kevin, what are you getting at?

Nothing! Just...

Paul's feeling better,

and I know you don't like him, so...

Who says I don't like him?

Okay. Wrong choice of words.

No, I know you like him. It's just...

Speaking as his friend...

I'm his friend, too, you know.

He's a great guy.

He's fun to be with.

He's smart, he's funny, he's cute.

Cyoo-hoo-hoot?

Cute?

Besides, I really don't see

how this is any of your business.

Oh, come on, Winnie. Remember?

This was all my idea in the first place.

Yes, it was, wasn't it?

Well...

I just think you ought to...

Aw, heck. Why beat around the bush?

It was time to lay it on the line...

for everyone's own good.

I don't think you should lead Paul on like this.

Who says I'm leading him on?

Well, that about did it.

I'd appealed to Paul. I'd appealed to Winnie.

If they were determined to go through with this charade,

there was only one thing I could do.

[ School bell rings ]

I could...

throw up.

After a few days,

the "sleep of the just" was beginning to take its toll.

[ Rooster crows ]

I couldn't say exactly why.

Everything seemed to be fine at school.

And Paul was working out his problems with Carla...

with Winnie.

Thanks,Kevin.

Thanks a lot!

Carla's a dear friend.

Well, see...

I'm not sure she exactly sees it that way.

As a matter of fact, she told me...

here it is! Icarus!

Paul, you're not even listening to me.

Sorry, Kev. I brought this book for Winnie.

Mythology. She really likes Greek mythology.

But you probably know that.

Of course I know that!

The fact is,

Winnie never told me anything about mythology.

In my opinion, the Greeks did have the best gods.

Yeah, that's great, but...

I wonder what she'll look like when she's old.

Paul, we really have to talk.

Sure. Fire away.

Winnie!

Look! It's Icarus!

I have to go.

Where ya goin'?

I don't know.

All I knew was I was in no mood for mythology.

I had to clear my head.

[ Mid-tempo music plays ]

If I could round up two more horses,

you could get a haircut and a manicure.

Look at the way he moves his lips.

It's disgusting.

Totally unbelievable! He water skis in this one?

Delores, do you mind?

Yep. Nothin' like an afternoon with Wayne's girlfriend

to clear the cobwebs.

[ Sighs ] Did I miss anything?

Ed's got a plan.

[ Gum popping ]

Do you have to do that?

What's the matter with him?

He's just havin' a bad day.

Aw...

What's the matter, Kev?

Is something wrong in Kevie land?

None of your business, butthead!

My, my!

Strong words!

This wouldn't by chance

have anything to do with a certain best friend, would it?

And a certain ex-best girl?

Who told you that?

Oh, news gets around.

Lisa saw 'em at Winky's havin' a soda.

Great. My private hell was now a matter of public record.

I must say... I'm not surprised.

Well, what's that supposed to mean?

Nothing. Except I saw it coming.

From a mile away.

I wonder if he takes off his glasses

when they make out?

[ Sighs ] I'm tryin' to watch!

Look, Wayne, I don't have to take this.

Sorry, sorry.

Gotta hand it to old Pfeif, though.

He's a sneaky one! [ Chuckles ]

Aw, what did Wayne know? Paul wasn't a sneak.

Besides, I was the one who'd set 'em up!

Or was I?

Ed, what's the matter?

Is Kevin blind, Wilbur?

Can't he see what Paul and Winnie are up to?

[ Laughter ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

The element of surprise, men.

The key to any take-down.

Plan your moves.

Know what you have to do.

As you were.

- Ow! - Gallo...

Dobby... you're next.

Okay, I'd planned my move, and I knew what I had to do.

Paul?

You remember what we talked about the other day?

About Winnie?

Sure. What part?

Well, the part where you said

all I had to do was say the word,

and then you'd forget about the whole thing.

Oh.

So, would you?

That depends.

Are we talking hypothetically?

Whatever.

[ Whistle blows ]

This was it.

Here was Paul's chance to show where he really stood.

I don't know.

A few days ago, I would have said yes.

Oh, so now you're saying no.

No, that's not what I'm not saying. I'm just saying...

Pfeiffer! Arnold!

On the mat!

You're saying no. Why don't you just admit it?!

Why don't you come out and admit that you like her?!

Because I don't!

- Good! Because I do! - That's enough!

Let's see if you can exercise something other than your lips.

Here.

And there you had it.

Reasonable men, agreeing to disagree.

All right, men, remember, now.

Speed...

Balance...

Science.

And wrestle!

[ Both grunting ]

Hey!

Men!

Ow! Get off my hair!

Men!

Boys, that's not wrestling!

- Give! Give! - Give! Give!

- No, you give! - Give.

- You give! - I'm not givin'!

[ Classmates shouting ]

Come on, Kevin!

[ Shouting continues ]

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Dog barking in distance ]

I'd never felt so lost in my life.

I tried to make sense out of what had happened.

I wanted to believe that Paul had lied to me...

Winnie, too.

But somehow, I knew better.

[ Car doors closing ]

I'd been lying to myself.

The funny thing is,

now that I was sure about my feelings for Winnie...

It was too late.

There they were...

my best friend and my best girl.

I'd brought them together.

And now I had no right to interfere.

Paul?

Yeah?

It was time to offer my congratulations.

It was the decent thing to do.

It's what Mr. Ed would do.

Look.

I'm sorry about what happened in gym.

I guess I sort of...

Lost my head, you know?

Anyway...

And for what it's worth...

I hope you and Winnie will be very happy.

Okay?

She dumped me.

Huh?

She dumped me.

She did?

We decided just to be friends.

Well, actually...

She decided.

Anyway, it's over.

After three lousy dates?

Wait a minute. What was I saying here?

It's okay. Really.

It wasn't personal.

She just... Likes somebody else.

Oh.

I should have known.

I mean, it was pretty obvious.

But, hey...

I had to take a shot. Right?

The thing I can't figure is...

Why she asked me out in the first place.

Can you?

Well...

Yeah.

She...

Told me she thinks you're cute.

She said that?

Paul?

Did she say who it was?

I can't tell you. She made me promise.

Come on, Paul, I...

But suddenly I knew. He didn't have to tell me.

It was written all over his face.

Sorry about that scissors-lock.

It's okay.

Never felt a thing.

Yeah, sure. I heard you whimperin'.

In your dreams!

[ Exhales ]

I hadn't noticed what a beautiful night it was.

Lit by starlight,

the world smelled clear and clean.

For a minute, I didn't feel like a kid anymore.

But for the first time in a long time,

I felt young.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Kevin!

Hi.

It all made sense now.

I loved Winnie Cooper.

And she loved me.

Winnie... I just want you to know that...

I know.

No, you don't have to say anything.

Just... Know that I know.

Okay?

Know what?

Winnie! Paul told me!

And I'm glad he did!

Paul told you?

Well, yeah! Isn't that great?!

Paul told you?!

He says you're crazy about me!

[ Door slams ]

[ Dog barks in distance ]

[ Owl hooting ]
