And plus she's got a great big heart ♪
All right, listen, Al,
you gotta-gotta do me a favor, all right? Sure.
There's a lady gonna come looking for me a little later.
They're all looking for you.
No, no, no,
this ain't a Fonzie chick, all right?
This is your basic little old lady, huh?
She gonna stay for dinner?
I could heat up something nice
She is not staying for dinner, Al.
I fixed her car, she's picking it up, huh?
You'll let her know I'm here?
Hey, hey, Fonz,
you're just in time.
Want to go with us and see a college recruiting film?
Now why would I want to go see a college recruiting film?
Oh hey, Fonz, it's the University of Hawaii.
,
I take out the Aloha Pussycats.
That's good Hawaii, yeah. That's Hawaii. Very good Hawaii.
Aloha. Yeah. All right, Fonz, see ya.
All right, let's make it fast.
I want to get front row seats.
Ralph, I'm not sitting next to you
if you're gonna make the bunny shadows on the screen.
They're not bunnies, they're ducks.
Oh, excuse me, pardon me, Oh.
I'm sorry No, I'm sorry.
It's my fault, I was, uh,
carried away by that delicious aroma.
Oh, that's parmigiana. Oh.
It's my mother's own recipe.
.
.
Could you help me?
I'm looking for, um, an Arthur Fonzarelli.
He told me to watch for you.
This way. Thank you.
I'm Al.
Hi, Al.
Uh, this is my restaurant.
Very nice place.
I own it.
Oh, this is Mr. Fonzarelli.
I have to get back to my kitchen now.
Little old lady, huh?
Little old lady?
Oh yeah, yeah, see look,
I told Al that I was waiting for this lady
that dropped off the car.
You're not a little old lady.
I would remember you.
That was my Aunt Grace.
Yeah, cranky little old lady, huh?
Yeah.
I'm Adriana Prescott.
Fonzie.
Hi, Fonzie. Hey.
Uh, were you able to fix my car?
Hey, I can fix anything that starts with a key and goes
(growls)
Ah, well, good.
Uh, may I sit down?
Oh, yeah, plant yourself.
Thank you.
I'm exhausted.
It's just been an incredible day.
First my car breaks down,
and my tennis racket splits
No kidding.
No kidding,
and then my poodle gets a tick in the park.
Do you believe it? Have you ever had a day like that?
No, my poodle hates the park,
loves the opera, though.
That's funny.
Thank you. Excuse me,
I thought you might want
to try just a small taste of my parmigiana.
A small taste, Al?
It's an Italian taste. Oh.
Mmm.
!
.
(speaking Italian)
.
FONZIE: Hey, Al?
Scramola.
Mmm.
My father liked cars, too.
Yeah, he's a man after my own heart.
In fact, in 1950,
he had a car in the Indianapolis 500.
Your father had a car in Indianapolis 500?
Mm-hmm, I mean, it blew an engine after four laps.
Well, what difference does it make?
At least he was there!
I mean, I remember that race, you know?
Who-who won that race?
Oh.
Hey, girls, knock yourselves out,
I'm really sorry, it was a slip of the fingers,
slip of the fingers. Aw.
I love you, I love you.
I'll call you a little later, all right?
Aaayyh!
You just
you just do that and they
Hey, say, that's a nice trick.
Oh, it ain't no trick, it's a gift.
Well, don't ever give it back.
Oh, I won't.
You're fascinating.
Yeah? Yeah.
Tell me about yourself.
Well, there's not much to tell,
I am the best mechanic in a large, Midwestern city.
You must have other interests.
Aaayyh!
Well, uh, I think I better be going.
Thank you for fixing my car.
Oh, yeah.
Listen, you have any more problems with that car,
you just let me know, I'll give it the magic touch.
I'll do that.
Yeah, you do that.
Ah, if you're ever by the, uh,
Valley Vista Tennis Club,
why don't you stop in and say hello?
The Valley Vista Tennis Club
I sure will.
Good.
You do play tennis, don't you?
Hey, like a pro.
How about tomorrow afternoon, doubles?
Doubles, triples, whatever you want.
You're cute.
See you tomorrow.
.
No, it's gonna be all right,
'cause Richard is gonna go to the club with you.
Yeah, I know, but just for moral support.
Now look, Mrs. C., I got 40 minutes.
Will you teach me everything I can know here?
Arthur, the first thing to remember about tennis
is it's a game of patience and politeness.
Yeah, right.
Now, uh, Richard will be down in a minute,
and remember patience
and politeness.
I remember. Yes.
Now, what would you like to learn first?
You want to learn the forehand,
or the backhand
Mrs. C, I don't care I'll teach you to serve
Yeah, that's good, I got it.
Look, I-I don't know if I can do this Mrs. C.
Oh, yes, you can do it.
Now the way to learn something is to do it.
Mrs. C., I learned some of my best stuff that way.
Okay, Fonz, ready to go.
Oh, Richard, good, you and Joanie,
I need you to help me in this demonstration
of the teamwork of doubles.
Here are your rackets, dear.
No.
No, I-I can't play with this.
I can't play with a flyswatter.
I'm better with a spatula.
This is silly. Oh, you want the spatula?
JOANIE: No.
I'm losing my patience.
Children, get into your positions,
Arthur, you will serve.
All right. Here?
No, no, Arthur,
that's-that's ping-pong.
It's
I know that.
All right, all right, all right, you look very silly.
All right, all right, all right.
You ready for this? Right. Right.
All right, watch yourself here.
Rush to the net!
What net? The sofa.
The sofa. Oh, oh, yeah,
all right. Right, and I return it!
Now, let's go back! I was just back there.
Move it!
What happened to your politeness?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Yes, polite, polite.
Now, forehand.
RICHIE: Backhand.
MARION: And backhand. JOANIE: And volley it.
And lob.
Oh, it's a lob, it's a lob!
I got it, I got! Can
can I smash it, Mom?
Don't hit the lamp.
Okay, all right, I'm gonna smash it!
All right, watch this!
JOANIE: Oh.
Not even gonna try and return it, huh, Fonz?
Why should I? It was out.
How could he possibly call that?
It was on the line.
I don't argue with children. See?
You really got it, that was wonderful.
Thank you.
I saw it, it was out.
Well, Howard,
we were just playing a make-believe point here.
Oh really, Marion?
That's funny, I thought you were ganging up on a fly.
Yeah.
Good one, Dad.
Look, the game is over, folks.
This tired, working man is gonna sit down
right in the middle of your court.
I'm sorry. Excuse me.
We're gonna have to get going, Fonz.
Yeah, you're right. Oh, you're gonna do just fine.
I bet you win the set six-love.
Love? Oh, that's right,
I forgot to teach you about love.
Whoa, Mrs. C!
Fonzie, love is a term of scoring in tennis.
Oh, yeah?
Scoring love.
I think I'm gonna like this game.
Ho, Richard.
Oh.
How do you think he'll do, Richard?
He's in big trouble if they use a real ball.
Okay, Fonz, we can eat in here.
Why didn't you tell me
that you get so tired playing this game?
I mean, how come I do all the running?
Well, you would've run a lot less
if you let her hit the ball occasionally.
I was being polite, like your mother told me,
I was being polite. Right.
Hey, hey, hey, let me ask you a question.
Is it all right if we sit here?
Thank you so much for all your warmth.
Look at this, they don't even clean up.
I hope I didn't hurt that Douglas guy.
Well, uh,
he seems like he's still a little upset.
I should have told you about that custom.
Yeah, I think you should, right.
When he was coming over that net,
I thought he was on the attack.
Yeah.
You practically slugged him over
to the other side again.
I didn't mean to do that.
Hey Richie? Guess what?
In spite of old Sexy Legs,
they still want to fix you up
with their daughter, Millicent.
Oh, blind date, huh?
Yeah, I-I'm not too good on blind dates.
Okay.
I'll just make up some excuse.
Hi, Millicent.
(singing): I found my thrill ♪
Fonzie, tell me, really the truth.
This was the first time you played tennis, right?
Could you tell?
Not really.
No, you did real good.
Yeah, listen, uh,
there is one thing I gotta know.
Did we win?
We lost, six-love.
Were we the love?
(hitting piano keys)
Oh, oh, hello, hello,
just asking for requests here.
You play the piano?
Yeah, like I play tennis.
You play the piano?
Well, I've had a lot of piano lessons,
a lot of singing lessons, and I'm still tone deaf.
Well, why don't you give me the, uh,
fruits of your training here.

What's the real reason you want to go
to the University of Hawaii?
They have a terrific Journalism Department.
Oh, yes!
They have terrific weather,
and they have terrific girls on terrific beaches,
and you'll probably end up majoring
in a terrific course of surfing.
Do you think I could make a living at it?
Hey, guys, I saw your lights on.
I figured I'd pop in. Fonzie.
Oh, hi, Fonz. Hey, the last time I saw you, you were, uh,
Finding your thrill on Blueberry Hill. ♪
I hear your tennis went very well.
All right, look, just because she's an older woman,
you don't have to make such a big deal out of this, Mr. C.
What?
Oh, I know you were talking about me.
No, we weren't, Fonz.
We were talking about the University of Hawaii.
You can't kid me, Red.
My ears were burning.
You know what they say.
Fonzie, I think maybe you and I ought to have a little talk.
I'll tell you something.
Look, I don't care how old she is, I don't care.
She is a groovy chick.
Period, end of convo.
Look, I'm not talking about age.
It's just that the two of you
come from such completely different worlds.
Look, tell him.
I did fine today at the club, right?
I played some tennis,
played a little piano
Decked a man. You told him.
Oh, it, it made him laugh.
It made me laugh.
But that's not funny.
Look, you can get along in any set.
Yeah, true.
But how do you know that that lady
can get along in your world?
All right, all right why don't you try
taking her to the spring dance?
At Arnold's?
Why not? Then at least you'd find out
whether she's comfortable or not.
I'll take her to this dance
just to show you guys that she is incredible.
All right, just do me a favor.
Stop talking about me.
My ears can't take it any longer.
So what do you think, Dad?
Aaayyh!

Yeah. And she's the dean.

We are really hot tonight. Let's keep cooking!
Hey, uh, just before you start cooking,
let me introduce you to Adriana Prescott here.
Oh, it's an honor to meet you, ma'am.
It's nice to meet you.
Oh, hey, Adriana, we already met.
My name's Potsie.
You get gas in my father's station. Hi.
Hi. I didn't know Mr. Weber had a son.
He doesn't tell anyone.
Guys, guys, listen.
Where's the music?
You got to keep them dancing,
and they get thirsty, and they Adriana.
.
You came to try my veal cutlets, right?
.
She means later.
That's right, Al.
She must be Italian.
(cymbals crash) All right, let's dance here.
My feet feel like a little motion.
Yeah, right, Fonz.
Rich, I've got to talk to you about something.
You'll go later.
Maybe we should play something she can keep up with.
Yeah. Yeah.
I got it, I got it.
Uh, how about "Clementine"?
"Clementine"? Yeah.
Oh, don't you know anything more hip?
How about uh, "Splish Splash"?
Do we know "Splish Splash"?

(applause)
Great! Yeah.
You are really the coolest.
ADRIANA: Thank you.
And now I'm going to powder my nose.
That was great, the way you moved and danced
Rich, I've got to talk to you a second, okay?
What? Uh
Adriana's married.
Did you fall off your bicycle again?
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with it.
My father sends all her bills to a Mr. Prescott.
Oh.
Well, just don't say anything to anybody.
Okay.
Hi, Fonz.
Hey, she was pretty good, huh?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, didn't I tell you?
S-she's something else.
Fonz, uh, while we're on the subject of Adriana,
uh did you know that
there's a Mr. Prescott?
Oh, there's probably several.
She comes from a very large family.
Well, uh, this Mr. Prescott
pays her gas bills.
Could be her father.
Could be her husband.
Hey, hey let me ask you a question.
Did you ever see a ring on her finger? No.
All right, what does that mean to you?
She, uh
She lost it?
Wrong.
It means she ain't married.
Okay, Fonz, if you say so.
That's right, I say so.
Hi. Hi.
That was really good, the way you danced.
Thank you.
I'm going to get back to the band.
Yeah, you better do that.
Want to dance?
No, I feel like sitting here and talking
for just a minute, all right?
Okay. Yeah.
What do you want to talk about?
Well, let's start with Mr. Prescott.
What would you like to know?
I'd like to know if he's your father.
No, Mr. Prescott is my husband.
Well, then, I'd like to know if he is your late husband.
No, Mr. Prescott is very much alive.
Well, then I'd like to know
if he is your divorced husband.
No.
This is my last shot.
Separated?
Yes.
Yeah. (Chuckles)
I'll tell you something.
You had me going there for a minute, you know?
Well, my husband is 4,000 miles away
trying to buy some oil field or something.
You see, Fonzie, we have, um
we have an understanding.
He doesn't tell and I don't tell.
I call that separated, wouldn't you?
Whoa, I call that apart.
Well, don't let it bother you.
You're making too much out of it.
Hey, let me tell you something.
You know, I really like you.
I mean, you're different
from any woman I've ever known.
For one, you don't giggle.
But, uh
I got some rules that I live by, you understand?
And one of them is that I don't take what ain't mine,
especially wives.
You're serious?
Oh, yeah, I'm serious.
I'd like to talk about it.
I don't see anything to talk about.
And dig it: I ain't judging you.
You understand?
But I got my rules, and that's the way I live my life.
Well, I understand that, and I
also had a similar set of rules,
but as I got older, I sort of bent them a little.
Whatever.
Why didn't you tell me that you were married?
You didn't ask.
All right, I didn't ask.
Is that all that's bothering you?
Fonzie, I
I think I'm a little different,
and I thought you were a little different, too.
That's why I never
thought it mattered.
It matters.
I can see that.
I'm sorry, because I really like you.
I like you, too.
Uh
I'll just see myself out.
You're an interesting man.
Yeah? Yeah.
Promise me you'll still fix my car?
Oh, yeah, as long as Aunt Grace picks it up.
I'm glad we met.
I'm very glad we met, too.
Veal Cutlets Parmigiana for two.
For one.
Bye, Al.
Al, he'll eat this later.
Women
Oh, she's married.
She don't wear a ring.
They got an understanding.
We're done.
I I'm sorry.
Not as much as me, Red.
But listen, you know what they always say.
It is always darkest in the middle of the night.
Yeah, I'm going to remember that.
Yeah, I hope you do.
Are you leaving now, Fonz?
Hey, what are you, crazy?
Look around this place.
Don't crowd, don't crowd.
Come here.
Oh, just wait your turn girls,
just wait your turn; It's all coming.

I can't believe how you messed up my game!
Well, you should've stayed on your side of the court.
What do you think those white lines are for?
Parking spaces?
(Fonzie and Richie chuckle)
Top that one.
Boy, what a game!
We really beat you two.
Boy, did we skunk you guys, huh?
Now we know who the athletes in this family are.
Well, we just had an off day, that's all.
Oh, sure, sure. FONZIE: Now, wait a minute.
Wait a minute, let's be honest here.
You all played very fair.
I believe you were outclassed by yours truly.
You didn't even play.
Well, I guess you missed me
up in the bleachers with Loretta.
Is that what all that cheering was about?
Hey, you bet, Red.
Let me tell you something.
That is still one of America's favorite pastimes whoa.
Well, I feel like I could play another set.
How about you, Howard?
At least, maybe even a couple.
I don't believe it.
I'm going upstairs and pass out.
Yeah, well don't do it on the stairs.
I don't think I can step over you.
Have they gone? Yeah.
Oh, God, oh
I can't get the racket off my shoulder.
