"and the eggs lay buried in the sand
"during their incubation period
until the young are hatched."
I like learning about reproduction.
Yeah, but knowing about turtles and fruit flies
isn't gonna help much in life.
Well, it's fun studying with you, Rich.
You're nice.
Well, thanks.
I think you're nice, too.
Now, Rich, I believe it's wrong to neck
in a boy's own house,
especially if his parents aren't asleep.
Oh, they're asleep.
Mom, Dad.
See, they're sound asleep.
Well okay.
Do you want something, Richard?
No, Mom.
Well, I was just coming downstairs
to find the new Reader's Digest
and I thought I heard you call.
Oh, is that you, Gloria?
I can't see in the dark.
Oh, yes, Mrs. Cunningham.
Uh, we were just finishing studying
and, and we were gonna watch a little TV.
I get it.
Well, I'll go back upstairs.
I can find out who this month's
most unforgettable character is tomorrow.
Nice to see you, Gloria.
Your mom's nice.
Thanks.
Well?
Richard?
Your mother said you were down here with Gloria.
Oh!
Hi, Mr. Cunningham.
Oh, hello, Gloria.
Oh, look, don't, don't mind me.
I just came down here to get my reading glasses.
Oh.
Ah. I found 'em.
Good night.
Nice seeing you, Gloria.
Good night, Dad.
Is that all your parents?
Yeah, I just have the two.
Must be great having your own place, you know?
What brought that on?
Richie had to wait to use the bathroom again.
Oh, well, if that's all it takes
to want a place of your own,
I would have left your mother on our wedding night.
It's more than just the bathroom.
I don't have much privacy around here.
Joanie's always traipsing into my bedroom
trying to get at my records
and Mom's always putting things away
where I can't find them.
Well, I have to clean.
It's that Gloria.
You never used to talk this way before you started dating
that kiss-a-boy-in-his-own-home girl.
Mom, it has nothing to do with Gloria.
Hi, everybody. Hello, dear.
Is that Chuck?
Guess what's in the bag, Mom?
Your basketball. I'll wash them.
You want some breakfast?
Uh, thanks. No, I just ate.
Maybe a little after-breakfast snack, though.
Thanks, Dad.
So what's happening?
I have no life of my own.
I eat when the family eats, not when I want to.
I watch your TV shows, not the ones I like.
I can't even listen to Fats Domino after 10:00.
Tell you what, little brother,
my old roommate just moved out.
Why don't you move in with me?
That's a great idea, Dad.
Richard, it's out of the question.
Well, if Richie moves out,
I get first dibs on your bedroom.
Richard isn't moving out, so forget about the dibs.
Well, just in case Good-bye.
You know, Marion, maybe it's not such a bad idea.
Howard!
Well, Richard feels stifled here.
Let him move out and see what it's like
to be on his own.
It's a great idea!
Well, I don't know. How will you get along?
You don't even have a job.
Oh, well, I'm, I'm ambitious.
I'm fairly smart. I'm a hard worker.
I've almost got my high school diploma.
I could be a bus boy at Arnold's.
Well, I don't think so, Howard.
I do not want my son picking up strangers' dirty dishes.
Ah, Mom. It'll be fine.
Won't it be fine, Dad?
It'll be fine, Marion.
You know, there's an old saying
that when a baby bird leaves its nest
with just its pinfeathers on,
it always comes flying home before it molts.
So, what do you think, huh?
Pretty nice for a garage apartment.
Is this the garage or the apartment?
Well, I, I know it's a little messy.
I've been thinking about getting a maid.
How about a salvage crew?
Hey, see, there we are joking,
getting along just like old times.
Boy, I tell you.
Hoop!
Hey, I got a great idea.
Why don't you sort of be maid around here, see?
And then I'll cut part of your share of the rent each month.
What do you say? Hup!
Okay?
Yeah, I guess that'd be okay. Great.
Uh well, where do I sleep?
In there.
I'm sleeping on the couch?
No, in the couch.
It's one of those fold-out beds.
It's where my old roomie used to sack out.
Oh I guess that'd be all right.
Oh. There's more than just clothes on this couch.
Hey, there it is.
A shark's jaw?
Yeah. Marine biology.
I flunked.
Well, clean your little heart out.
Aren't you gonna help me?
Well, the best way I can help you
is just to stay out of your way.
Later, little brother.
Hey, Rich.
Oh, hey, guys.
Hey, what, what are you doing here?
Well, I sort of had to get a job,
now that I have to pay rent.
I moved in with my brother.
You got your own apartment?
Yeah, it's great. You can do whatever you want
whenever you feel like it, you don't have to pick up
after yourself, and the girls
let's just say that when you
bring one home, you don't have to worry
about interruptions, you know what I mean?
Listen, Rich, maybe sometime,
you know, if you're working
and your brother's out or something,
I might have a date, you know,
and maybe I could use the place, huh?
Oh, I don't know, Ralph. You see, uh,
there's usually a little action going on about all the time.
Hey, Rich.
I think the man in the Henry J is hungry.
He just threw a menu at me.
I gotta get going, guys.
Listen, I'll invite you over to my pad sometime.
Ralph, what are you trying to do, get me fired?
Oh Well, eat 'em now that you took 'em.
What about our order?
I'll be back in a minute to get it.
Ralph. Ralph.
You know, I feel kinda funny about Rich working here.
Yeah? How much do you tip him?
The same as we tip anybody else nothing.
Hey, little brother.
Hey, Chuck.
Oh, I'm really beat.
I think this was the longest day of my life.
I'm going right to sleep.
Oh, yeah, a good night's sleep'll fix you right up.
Hey Oh, your marine biology class?
Yeah, that was our term paper.
Flunked it?
Yeah.
Don't knock yourself out.
That's as far as it goes.
I think it's broken.
Well, I guess it'll be all right.
What are you doing?
Practicing.
I do 50 a night with each hand.
Aw, you made me lose count.
One, two, three
My first night in my new apartment.
Boy, I'm really dragging.
Richard!
I worked here.
The job ain't that tough.
Well, it's more than just the job.
It's going to school, too,
and the homework and the apartment.
Ha-ha, the apartment.
Getting a lot of action, huh, Rich?
Aw, well, you know how it is.
Yeah, we know how it is.
Yeah, we know how it is.
Um, can I borrow your apartment again this afternoon?
Come on, you just used it Wednesday.
Yeah. Please, Rich?
This girl's got potential.
I took her to the drive-in the other night
and she's still talking to me.
All right. I'll give you the key.
Oh, I got my own key.
To my apartment?
I had one made the last time I used it. I didn't want
to keep bothering you.
I had one made, too.
Cunningham. Hi, Fonzie.
Can I borrow your pad tonight?
I just had my living room carpet shampooed
and my bike leaked oil.
All right.
Do you need the key or do you have your own?
Key? What key?
A paper clip.
Hey All right, Fonz.
On second thought, I better get a key, huh?
But not for me, for Cloris.
I tried to teach that girl to spring a lock
with paper clips, hair pins, dental floss, huh.
She just ain't got no talent for locks.
Who's got the extra key?
Bernie's got one.
Gotcha.
Who's Bernie?
Bernie Coletti.
His father owns the key store.
I went to the apartment this afternoon.
Oh, I don't know how they can live like that.
There's socks and underwear strewn all over.
It's definitely not a house with a mother.
So you did their laundry, huh?
Well, I started to, but then Potsie came in with a girl.
He said he was helping her with Latin.
I didn't believe him.
Mom. Dad.
Richard! Oh! Hey, Richie, good to see you.
Oh, did you come home to stay?
If you want your room back,
give me time to move my guppies out.
I'm not about to give up my bachelor pad.
Not after I had a taste of the good life.
I just came by to say, "hi."
Well, hi. Hi.
Well Come on! Sit down, sit down.
Well Right here.
There you go.
Oh, Howard, pass Richard the meat loaf.
He must be starving. Oh, sure. Here.
Oh, no, no, I'm having a big dinner at my apartment tonight.
You know, if I didn't like steak
so much, eating'd be a bore.
Well, how's it going?
Everything okay? Is there anything you need?
Oh, pass the biscuits, will you, please?
Have some asparagus.
You know, having your own place is the only way to live.
You know, being out on your own, and everything.
Well, at least have a brownie for dessert.
Oh, no. No, I don't think so.
Oh Oh, well, go ahead, take one.
Make your mother happy.
Oh, well
If I'm gonna make her happy,
I might as well make her really happy.
Chuck, what're you doing in there?
I'm trying to dribble and shave at the same time.
It's good for the coordination
Ow!
Mm!
What happened?
I think I double dribbled.
Listen, Chuck, could you hurry up in the bathroom?
This is the first night I've had off in a week
and I got a big date.
Oh, yeah? Anybody I know?
I don't think so. She doesn't play basketball.
Listen, Chuck, we might wind up
back here a little bit later.
Oh, it's okay by me.
I gotta watch some game films anyway.
And the coach wants us to run over some new plays.
Oh, great.
Oh, say, listen,
if you're gonna have a girl up here,
maybe we ought to rig up a signal
or something to let me know.
Like a light in the window?
Well, I usually put a sign on the door that says,
"Keep away, I got a girl in here."
You know, Gloria, the night's still young.
We can still go places and do things.
Yeah. My father gave me an extra half hour tonight.
That's great.
Where would you like to go?
Oh, I don't know.
Are your parents asleep?
Oh, not yet.
But you know, uh, I have my own
Own what?
Bowling ball.
But if you don't like bowling
I hate bowling.
Let's go to your apartment.
That's a great idea.
Why didn't I think of that?
Let's go.
Right.
Well, turn on some lights so you can see the place.
Well, what do you think?
Uh well, it's bright and
uh so mess masculine.
Oh, yeah.
But it's a lot more private than your parents' house.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's really private.
I mean, a guy and a girl could
really have a nice talk.
Want me to show you around the place?
Oh, I don't think we have time.
I mean, don't forget I have to be home by 11:00.
Oh, right. No problem.
Ah, good idea.
There.
Why don't you pull down the shade?
Well, maybe I'd better not
because then you might not be able to see in.
I know.
I'll pull down the shade.
Well, hmm?
Oh.
Ow!
What's wrong?
Oh.
Yeah, that's my brother's.
Oh, he has very big feet.
Yeah, he says that's why he has such good balance.
I'll put on something romantic.
Oh, what you're wearing is fine.
Oh, I mean records.
There.
Oh, my brother's shoe.
Well
There are over 10,000 people here today
and all of them want but one thing:
the conference championship.
And there's the toss.
Oh, now, that's really putting me in the mood
to lead a cheer.
Well, that's my brother's, too.
See, he likes to listen to it before every game.
There. That'll be a lot better.
Rich? Hmm?
I feel like we're being watched.
Oh.
Well, maybe if we moved to this side of the couch.
Rich
There, it works.
♪♪
That's the telephone.
I know.
I'll find it.
It's here in the drawer.
Hello.
Hello.
They hung up.
♪♪
Where was I?
Right.
I'm not planning anything funny, honest.
We'll listen to records.
Uh somebody's already listening to records.
Rich, I didn't know you'd be here.
Oh, well, why should I be? It's only my apartment.
Yeah. Well, I guess we better be going.
Right this way, my dear.
Make yourself at Potsie! Trudy! Richie!
Gloria!
Hey, this is great!
We can have a party! A party.
A party?
Yeah, we can play charades.
Great idea.
Come on, Susie, let's sit down.
That's not exactly what I had in mind.
Well, since Ralph's staying, we might as well stay.
You got any peanut butter and crackers left, Rich?
Yeah, it's in the I know where it is.
Okay, clip
Oh, hey, uh, I made a phone call, nobody answered.
We kinda came here to be by ourselves, you know.
So did everybody else.
Come on in.
We'll all be by ourselves together.
Yeah, come on in.
Hey, it's a par
Hey, Rich, hey, uh, we're gonna have
a little extra strategy meeting.
Hope we're not interrupting.
You know, when I get you alone like this, baby,
I get all crazy inside.
Murphy, you're the pivot, okay?
Jasper, Jasper, will you please pay attention?
Come on. This is important.
Come on, O'Connell, stop foolin' around, will ya?
Okay, come here.
Monster movie! Monster movie!
The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
No.
You're my father when I ask for money.
No, it's a monster movie.
Oh, Love Is A Many Splendored Thing.
No. No.
Trudy, you do one.
Okay, I got one.
Okay, hurry, hurry, hurry!
Hurry, come on!
Old movie, old movie.
Movie, movie What year?
You want to go bowling?
How many words? How many words? Three words, three words.
Come on. First word, first word.
Um, how many syllables?
Small word "The, The, The"
"Scuzzy." In uh of
Movie, movie! Three Faces Of Eve.
Excuse me, everybody. Dean Martin!
Could I have your attention, please?
Natalie Wood in, um, um East of Eden East of
Gang!
Seven Year Itch!
I'm scratching my head! Come on!
Hey! I have an announcement to make: Everybody out.
This is my apartment.
I want to be alone with my date.
Everybody out.
Wait a minute, Richard.
I paid my rent. Out!
Mom's gonna hear about this.
I meant it.
Everybody out. Right now.
Right now.
Kid's got a good point.
Everybody out.
Let's hustle!
Everybody, let's go!
Arnold's is better than this.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! See ya, Richard.
Bye, friend.
You, too, Fonzie.
Me, too, what?
You gotta go.
I want to be alone with Gloria.
I like a guy with spunk.
But only once, huh?
Remember that.
Hey.
Oh, wow, Richie, that was really something else.
I mean that was better than, than
Spencer Tracy in Bad Day at Black Rock.
Well I was ready to leave, too.
Well, now we're gonna do what we came here to do neck.
Oh, anything you say, Richie.
Maybe we'll have time
for a good night kiss at my door.
The story of my life is kissing at the door.
Now, dear, there's egg salad and tuna.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
Marion, when the Prodigal Son returns home,
you're supposed to feed him the fatted calf,
not make him the fatted Prodigal Son.
Well, then, I'll go fix lunch.
You know you could have saved yourself
a lot of trouble packing.
Yeah, it was really lousy
having my own apartment this time.
The place was always a mess.
There was never any food in the house.
I had to work all the time just to pay the rent.
All I got out of that place was a bad back.
Yeah, well, someday you'll have a place of your own
and it'll be different.
You think so, Dad?
Sure.
You'll probably be married by then.
But until that time,
I think it's a good idea
that you let me have the key to Chuck's apartment.
Oh, right.
There. Thank you.
Oh, wait a minute, Dad.
Oh, there's one more.
And, uh, and this.
A paper clip?
That was Fonzie's.
Hi, Richie. Hi.
Hey, do you know how much a hot fudge sundae is?
No, I don't. Sorry.
I'll put down 60 cents.
Well, I think that's too much.
Yeah, but when a guy says,
"Hey, you charged me 20 cents too much,"
I'll know the right price is 40 cents. See?
That's good figuring, Wendy.
Hey, thanks. I'll see you later.
Richie, I gotta talk to you.
What about?
It's very important. Come here.
Well, I don't have time to talk right now.
I gotta get home.
Will ya come over here?
Okay. Now, you've gotta help me out.
I got a date with Sue Anne Shaloon,
the Sue Anne Shaloon,
and I got no place to take her.
Ralph, I moved back home.
I know, and your brother keeps hanging up on me.
Well, listen, I got an idea.
Why don't you wait till it gets late
and take her to your house?
Can't. My folks stay up to watch Jack Paar every night.
It's tough making out while a grown man
is crying in the background.
Hey, Potsie!
Hey, do me a favor, guys,
don't order anything that needs a glass or a dish, huh?
Why'd you take my old job?
I didn't do it for the prestige.
I decided to move out on my own like you did,
only, uh, I'm gonna earn the money
before I make the move.
That's really smart.
Where you gonna move to?
I'm thinkin' about taking a room
on that brownstone on Maple Drive?
