Oh, Richie, close the door.
It's freezing.
I want to spend the night at Jenny Piccalo's.
Will you please tell Mom she is not boy crazy?
Oh, is that the only reason you're helping me,
so I'll talk to Mom?
No, I also need 50 cents.
Jenny Piccalo's charging admission.
Admission? Yeah.
.
Shh, here comes Mom.
Oh, children, I didn't hear you come in.
What happened?!
I just cleaned this!
Oh, Richie did it, Mom.
Thanks.
Can I spend the night at Jenny Piccalo's?
Oh Mom, this is the stuff for the school
time capsule project.
Don't touch that.
It's supposed to be at the gym.
Well, Potsie dropped the anchor on the gym floor,
and the coach attacked him
with a barbell, what was I supposed to do?
I don't care about that. Mom!
Can I go? Richard,
I am tired of picking up after you.
Well, you don't have to pick up after me, Mom,
I'm trying to take care of it myself.
And this is my responsibility. Well, I work
so hard around here, I
Well, this is very important Hi. Daddy's home.
RICHIE: You're not supposed to know about it.
(both arguing at once)
Hi, Daddy's home.
MARION: Yes, Howard, dear.
Dad, can I have 50 cents?
Is that the way you greet your father?
(smooching loudly)
Now, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold it.
How about one for real, huh?
There, you see, money can't buy that.
Howard, would you look and see
what your son has done here?
It's nice, very nice.
Mom, it's not my fault,
if Dad wouldn't let us use his vault.
Well, why don't you put the stuff in the garage?
I can't put it in the garage!
Hold it, hold it, hold it!
Hi, Daddy's home.
Hi, Dad.
Oh, Howard.
Oh, your nose is cold, dear.
I can't put it in the garage
because there's a hole in the roof
and water will get down and ruin everything, Mom.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop!
Look! Hold it, hold it! That is enough.
If you don't mind,
I would like just a few moments of peace and quiet.
All right, I'm gonna tell you something
I want you to call the police.
Someone stole one of my T-shirts.
Fonz, I've got your T-shirt.
You've got a whole closet full of T-shirts.
How did you know one is missing? They're numbered.
You took number 23.
You go find me my T-shirt, huh?
Oh, my mechanic's magazine here, you take this, too, huh?
I'm not taking your magazine,
and I'll find your T-shirt, Fonz.
All right, now look, look, look.
This is ridiculous. Will everybody just calm down
and we'll all get to the bottom of this?
You are the bottom of this.
I mean, look at this room, dear. Me?
You wouldn't let us use your vault, Dad.
Yeah, I don't understand.
You have this old vault
from when the store was a pawn shop.
And it's a good thing, too,
because we were robbed three times last year.
Yeah, but now you've got a safe,
and you don't use that vault for anything.
Oh, yes I do.
I have a hammock in there; I take a nap.
It's my place.
A man has got to have a place to get away from everything.
You understand that, don't you, Fonzie?
I do indeed, but I ain't your wife.
Excuse me, boys.
Howard,
what do you really do in that vault?
I take Jane Russell there, every day, for lunch.
Marion, if I was gonna do anything,
I wouldn't do it down at the store!
Where would you do it?
Take the vault, Richard, it's yours.
That's great, Dad. Now I got a place.
Yeah, well, I hope you're satisfied.
Now I have to call Jane Russell
and tell her she can't use the vault for a while.
Oh, Howard,
I'm sorry I acted like that,
I'm just upset about all this mess.
You know what?
I'm gonna make you a pork chop dinner.
Listen, sweetheart, this was all my fault.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take you out for a nice dinner.
Just the two of us alone, huh?
I'll get my coat.
Okay, I'll warm up the car.
Richard, have a TV dinner.
See you later, guys.
I think you handled that very well, Mr. C.
I thought so, Fonzie.
I hate pork chops.
RICHIE: Oh, okay,
I found your T-shirt, Fonz, you satisfied?
Well, you're very lucky.
Look
you gotta give us something
for the time capsule project, Fonz.
Now think about this:
In a hundred years, it's gonna be the '50s again.
Well, I never looked at it that way.
Yeah, right.
And the people of those '50s
are gonna want to know about our '50s.
And I think you should be represented, Fonz.
Those people are gonna want to know about the Fonz.
All right, all right,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll give you something for your class project.
Tell you the truth, I don't know why,
it's only a hundred years,
I'm still gonna be here.
Heyyy.
)
You said you were just gonna
have the place for about an hour.
Well, it's four hours.
Hey don't worry, Al. Guess what?
We're putting one of your menus in the time capsule.
RICHIE: Yeah. Oh, that's nice.
What's the specialty?
Chicken fricassee and meatballs.
That's good, no fish.
Now, you said you needed one booth,
and what did you do, you set up tables!
The place is a mess!
Well, I know it got a little out of hand, Al.
Yeah, come on, Al, be a pal.
Yeah, you're a second father!
Such a nice guy. Aw, come on.
We'd be nothin' without you, Al Best friends.
What do you say? Come on, you're a good guy.
I'm such a pushover.
Hello, I'm Miss Radcliff.
Oh, hi.
Before I go, I want to thank you
for letting us use your restaurant.
Oh, I like to help the kids
with their school projects.
I love them, and they love me.
That's nice.
(yapping)
Just kidding. Yeah.
Hey, hey, let me use this.
I want to make my cook laugh
he has no life.
Clarence, close your eyes.
Hi, Fonzie. Nice hairdo, Al.
Hey, uh, Cunningham.
Hey, Fonz. Fonzie.
I said Cunningham.
RALPH & POTSIE: Oh, right, Fonz.
Fonz, what did you bring us, huh?
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, sorry.
I was thinking about what you said the other day
about not being around in a hundred years.
Yeah, we're all mortal.
You're mortal, I might move to California.
So, I brought with me
Ta-da! ♪
The original Fonzie leather jacket.
Oh.
See that right there, that lipstick stain right there?
Yeah. That's Lucy Bergdorf.
I was seven, she was 16,
and did she learn fast.
That's terrific. Yeah.
You've been wearing leather jackets for a long time.
That's right. What'd you wear before that?
Leather jammies?
I didn't hear that, Cunningham.
I said did you wear leather
I heard it! Oh.
And, uh, who is the very sophisticated chick
with the glasses?
Oh, forget about her, Fonz.
She is one cold fish.
She's from the Board of Education,
in charge of special projects.
(Radcliff claps) All right,
stop dallying, girls.
Alfred has a business to run here.
Heyyy.
He's saying hello.
That's his way.
Yes, see, he's the Fonz. Mm.
On behalf of the Board of Education,
it's nice meeting you.
(imitating Radcliff): On behalf of the Board of Education,
it's nice meeting you.
Brrr. RICHIE: Yeah.
I told you she's an icicle.
Hey, defrosting is my specialty.
Hey, Fonz. All right.
Let's get these other boxes. Yeah.
Most of the boxes are gone.
Is there anything else you want us to do?
Miss Radcliff told us to do anything you want.
I really like this project.
Yeah, girls, just load up these last
few boxes and you can go home.
He's such a Potsie.
Well, listen, guys,
why don't you just let me load up this last box,
and you guys can go on by yourselves, okay?
He's right.
We should try to get to know Rebecca
and Candy a little better, Potsie.
Oh, yeah.
Let's take 'em up to Inspiration Point.
It's four degrees outside.
I don't do my best work with mittens on.
Look, you better get going
before the chicks split on you.
Right, see you, Rich. Right, see you.
I'm ready, Richie, let's go see your father's vault.
Yeah, we were just gonna drop off these boxes
and leave, that's all.
Right to the vault,
at the hardware store, where it's warm
And there's lawn furniture.
Good idea, Rich.
It was.
CANDY: Well, we're ready.
Anything else you want us to do?
Uh, yeah, uh, girls,
we're all going down to the vault.
Richie said we could help pick out the things
that go in the time capsule.
BOTH: Good thinking, Rich.
It's really nice of you
to ask my friends to go along.
I didn't. I didn't ask your friends.
Come on, girls, let's go get our coats.
What a magnanimous gesture on your part,
to allow us to play this role in history.
What'd she say, Malph?
She's got 140 IQ I don't know.
Boy, am I lucky.
I'm going with the smartest girl in the class!
I'm more lucky.
I'm with the dumbest.
?
.
RALPH: We've even got mannequins for chaperones.
POTSIE: Hey, a hammock.
Hammock?
Now what, may I ask, are we gonna do with that?
Sit on it, Rebecca.
I still got it.
Hey, hey, that box moved!
Hey, is somebody in there?
Come on out!
RALPH: All right, Fonz.
POTSIE: Hey.
Sorry, Fonz, we're just, uh,
showing the girls the vault.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, a couple of lights, a wall,
a very big, big door good-bye.
(thump)
Is somebody else in there?
Hey, hey, come on out.
BOYS: Miss Radcliff!
RADCLIFF: Well,
everything seems in its place,
and you're all in your place,
and I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, yeah, uh, listen, Miss Icecliff, uh
Radcliff. Whatever.
(singsongy): You didn't tell me.
(singsongy): Do you think I planned this?
Listen, uh, call me, huh?
Mm. All right.
Check.
So long, Miss Radcliff.
Boy, do you have a way with girls Oh, wait!
What are you doing?
What's the matter?
You just locked us in here!
Oh, come on, Rich, now, don't kid.
I'm not kidding.
What should we do?
(screaming)
Open the door!
Open up!
Come back, come back, please!
No!
Here we have a man in complete self-control.
(screaming)
Open the door!
(Ralph crying)
RALPH: Open!
(overlapping screaming and shouting)
You, Potsie! Ralph!
I didn't know! I didn't You let us in here!
Maniac You crazy?
It was an accident.
What are we gonna do now? What?! What?!
Ralph, you're gonna be very calm now.
You're very You're cool, right?
You okay?
Right, Fonz.
All right.
Richie, open the door.
I can't, Fonz.
The vault only opens from the outside.
(high-pitched whimper)
Ralph?
Do you mean to tell me that we are stuck in here?
Well
(clears throat)
Uh, my dad will be coming to let us out on Monday.
(all gasping)
It's Friday.
It could be worse.
Potsie, talking only reminds me that you're here.
All right, everybody,
now clear out of the way.
I'm going to get us out of here.
Just move away, girls.
Are we out?
I see stars.
Uh, Ralph, this is a steel door.
You're going to need a longer run with this one.
Probably from Albuquerque.
I can't stand this.
There's no air.
I'm going to go crazy.
I've got claustrophobia.
Claustrophobia is an emotional response
to an irrational problem.
I'm going to shove her 140 IQ
(all talking at once)
No. Ralph, Ralph! Ralph, stop it!
All right, everybody just take it easy.
Just relax.
There's no reason to be frightened.
We're all going to get out of here
Monday.
All right, Rich, here we are.
You know, I think it's dumb
that if girls get scared they can cry,
but the guys think they got to put up a big front.
All right, we're going to have a new rule in here.
From now on, no fronts.
If you want to cry, just cry.
(wailing)
Aw Oh
All right, all right, take it easy.
We got a disaster here. I'm taking over.
There's martial law now. Get over here.
All right. All right, Fonz.
Tell us what to do so we can go home.
All right, now we're all
in the same predicament, you understand?
Except mine's a little worse.
At least you have me.
Okay, listen, anybody got gum, candy, something like that,
give it to me, I'll ration it out, right?
RICHIE: Oh, Fonz, I think I got some Jujubes here.
Oh, well, they're stuck to my pocket,
but I could pick out the lint, uh
Uh, Red, why-why don't you just
save that for later, all right?
Just save 'em, okay?
All right, we got no food, so Potsie here is going to sing,
and make us all forget about our hunger, right, Pots?
Oh, yeah, I'll sing, Fonz. Right.
Here's a ukulele.
Great. You know how to play it? Sure.
POTSIE: Hit it.
(strums chord)
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy ♪
Get ready for the Judgment Day, yeah ♪
Potsie, Judgment Day is not cheery.
RICHIE: Right. Uh, Potsie,
just play something we could all sing to, okay?
Oh, I'm hungry.
Look, we're all starving to death.
No, no, not to death, not to death.
So-So just play something,
and-and get our mind off food.
Okay, we got it, we got it ready?
(mumbles): "Lollipop" (strums chord)
Lollipop, lollipop, oh, lolly, lollipop ♪
Lollipop, lollipop ♪

Lollipop, lollipop, oh, lolly, lollipop ♪
Lollipop, lollipop ♪

Swing low, sweet chariot ♪
Coming for to carry me home. ♪
(Potsie hums melody)
Still awake, huh, Fonz?
Yeah, it's a bad habit I got.
I don't sleep on the weekends.
Yeah.
I guess we really loused up your date with Miss Radcliff.
You didn't help.
You want to sit down?
Think it'll hold both of us?
We'll find out.
You know, Fonz, I was just wondering something,
and, well, you're going to say it's kind of silly.
There must be a logical explanation for it
Just spit it out, Cunningham.
Well, see, it's just that, uh,
I-I can't figure out how the air gets in here.
(laughs)
Yeah, it looks like we got a problem in that area.
(both laughing)
Yeah, I think we have a big problem.
(both laugh)
Just don't tell them.
Oh, yeah, I-I hate to see girls cry.
I hate to see Malph cry.
(both laugh)
Yeah.
Yeah, we're in big trouble.
Yeah.
You know, Fonz, how when-when you get in trouble,
you start thinking about your life?
Well, see, I just realized that
I never kissed my Aunt Bessie.
See, I always pull away.
I I just give her a hug.
Well, so what? You were a little kid.
No, Fonz. It was last Wednesday.
And I'm telling you something
if I get out of this all right,
things are going to be different
between me and Aunt Bessie, Fonz.
I'm going to change my ways with her.
I'm going to be a different person, Fonz
Red, Red, why are you talking so crazy?
Because I'm nervous, Fonz! I'm very nervous!
All right, that happens to be natural.
I'm not even nervous.
I'm scared.
You probably don't know about being scared, but
Well, let me tell you something you've been
on the road as long as I have, you understand scared.
Yeah, but you always said you liked being on your own,
how you never needed a family.
Hey, what am I going to say?
You know, the only advice my father ever gave me?
He was just about to leave home,
pats me on the head, he says, "Fonzarelli"
Very warm man, my father.
He said, "Fonzarelli,
don't go out in the rain in your socks."
That That's touching.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
I've been trying to figure that out for years.
Well, we've got plenty of time tonight, Fonz.
(muffled): I can't take it anymore.
I got candy!
I don't understand him.
He's not enunciating.
No, no I think he said,
"Loosen the bell. The goat is home."
What an odd thing to say.
No. He's got candy, and we're starving!
(all talking at once)
That's right. Just hold it.
Now what is this all about, Ralph?
Let go of his hand.
I was going to hold out, Fonz,
but I couldn't do it to my friends.
(door bell jingling in distance, door shuts)
I hear something. I hear something!
POTSIE: I heard something, too.
(all screaming and shouting)
Whoa!
All you people do is jump up and down
and yell and scream like that, huh?
You want people to come in here
and find a panic with the Fonz around?
Now, will you sit down and have a picnic?
I said sit down! Hurry up, come on, sit down.
Make nice.
Ralph, will you get over there with your friends?
I knew I could open it.
Nick, you clean out the cash register,
and I'll take the vault.
Hey, there's kids in here!
FONZIE: Hey, wait a minute. First of all,
I ain't a kid.
Second of all, you touch one thing in here,
I'll make your face look like that permanently!
Now get out of here!
Let's go, Harry!
(door bell jingles)
Those guys they were robbers!
We were saved by robbers.
We're out of here!
We're saved!
(cheering and squealing)
(door slams, door bell jingles)
I hear a noise. They're coming back!
Close the door! No!
You know, you never cease to amaze me, Potsie.
Sorry, Fonz.
I lost my head.
All right, now, listen, I got the robber's license.
Everybody go home.
Oh. Hey, Becky? Becky! Yeah?
When am I going to see you again?
When they open the time capsule.
Only kidding. Oh.
RALPH: Let's go, Candy.
But I'm driving with the top down.
I need all the air I can get.
I know it's cold. You'll button up.
(door bell jingles) Great evening.
You ought to get outside once in a while.
Air!
Air! I'll drive you home.
I'm sorry about tonight.
It was fun.
Can you get the vault for tomorrow night?
Yeah. I think that can be arranged.
You were very brave.
Very brave.
(soft chuckle)
I'm glad I didn't cry.
(store door opens, bell jingles, door closes)
FONZIE: All right, Richie, here.
Here's the make of the car and the license number.
You give this to your father to check it out, all right?
Oh, good, Fonz.
Listen, I-I got to thank you for something.
You know, everybody in here
they-they went a little crazy, but-but not you.
You know, you
Everybody was jumping up, and then the robbers,
and then and then, you see, we were all kind of
but-but you were just
Am I making any sense, Fonz?
Well, more sense than,
"Don't wear your socks in the rain."
Boy, this was a very interesting evening.
You learn a lot about yourself when you're under pressure.
Yeah. I learned that I never want
to be under pressure with Ralph.
RICHIE: Yeah.
You want this chair?
Yeah Yeah, take that, Fonz.
You know, something else.
People act very different when they're scared.
Even you acted a little different, Fonz.
Oh, well, you mean that conversation we had
Oh, no, no, don't get me wrong,
I didn't mean you were scared.
No, no. You were never scared.
You were just trying to make me feel better.
Yeah, right. I mean, I don't get scared.
No, Fonz. Yeah, right.
I know you know, but he don't have to know.

Oh, Richie, close the door.
It's freezing.
I want to spend the night at Jenny Piccalo's.
Will you please tell Mom she is not boy crazy?
Oh, is that the only reason you're helping me,
so I'll talk to Mom?
No, I also need 50 cents.
Jenny Piccalo's charging admission.
Admission? Yeah.
.
Shh, here comes Mom.
Oh, children, I didn't hear you come in.
What happened?!
I just cleaned this!
Oh, Richie did it, Mom.
Thanks.
Can I spend the night at Jenny Piccalo's?
Oh Mom, this is the stuff for the school
time capsule project.
Don't touch that.
It's supposed to be at the gym.
Well, Potsie dropped the anchor on the gym floor,
and the coach attacked him
with a barbell, what was I supposed to do?
I don't care about that. Mom!
Can I go? Richard,
I am tired of picking up after you.
Well, you don't have to pick up after me, Mom,
I'm trying to take care of it myself.
And this is my responsibility. Well, I work
so hard around here, I
Well, this is very important Hi. Daddy's home.
RICHIE: You're not supposed to know about it.
(both arguing at once)
Hi, Daddy's home.
MARION: Yes, Howard, dear.
Dad, can I have 50 cents?
Is that the way you greet your father?
(smooching loudly)
Now, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold it.
How about one for real, huh?
There, you see, money can't buy that.
Howard, would you look and see
what your son has done here?
It's nice, very nice.
Mom, it's not my fault,
if Dad wouldn't let us use his vault.
Well, why don't you put the stuff in the garage?
I can't put it in the garage!
Hold it, hold it, hold it!
Hi, Daddy's home.
Hi, Dad.
Oh, Howard.
Oh, your nose is cold, dear.
I can't put it in the garage
because there's a hole in the roof
and water will get down and ruin everything, Mom.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop!
Look! Hold it, hold it! That is enough.
If you don't mind,
I would like just a few moments of peace and quiet.
All right, I'm gonna tell you something
I want you to call the police.
Someone stole one of my T-shirts.
Fonz, I've got your T-shirt.
You've got a whole closet full of T-shirts.
How did you know one is missing? They're numbered.
You took number 23.
You go find me my T-shirt, huh?
Oh, my mechanic's magazine here, you take this, too, huh?
I'm not taking your magazine,
and I'll find your T-shirt, Fonz.
All right, now look, look, look.
This is ridiculous. Will everybody just calm down
and we'll all get to the bottom of this?
You are the bottom of this.
I mean, look at this room, dear. Me?
You wouldn't let us use your vault, Dad.
Yeah, I don't understand.
You have this old vault
from when the store was a pawn shop.
And it's a good thing, too,
because we were robbed three times last year.
Yeah, but now you've got a safe,
and you don't use that vault for anything.
Oh, yes I do.
I have a hammock in there; I take a nap.
It's my place.
A man has got to have a place to get away from everything.
You understand that, don't you, Fonzie?
I do indeed, but I ain't your wife.
Excuse me, boys.
Howard,
what do you really do in that vault?
I take Jane Russell there, every day, for lunch.
Marion, if I was gonna do anything,
I wouldn't do it down at the store!
Where would you do it?
Take the vault, Richard, it's yours.
That's great, Dad. Now I got a place.
Yeah, well, I hope you're satisfied.
Now I have to call Jane Russell
and tell her she can't use the vault for a while.
Oh, Howard,
I'm sorry I acted like that,
I'm just upset about all this mess.
You know what?
I'm gonna make you a pork chop dinner.
Listen, sweetheart, this was all my fault.
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna take you out for a nice dinner.
Just the two of us alone, huh?
I'll get my coat.
Okay, I'll warm up the car.
Richard, have a TV dinner.
See you later, guys.
I think you handled that very well, Mr. C.
I thought so, Fonzie.
I hate pork chops.
RICHIE: Oh, okay,
I found your T-shirt, Fonz, you satisfied?
Well, you're very lucky.
Look
you gotta give us something
for the time capsule project, Fonz.
Now think about this:
In a hundred years, it's gonna be the '50s again.
Well, I never looked at it that way.
Yeah, right.
And the people of those '50s
are gonna want to know about our '50s.
And I think you should be represented, Fonz.
Those people are gonna want to know about the Fonz.
All right, all right,
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'll give you something for your class project.
Tell you the truth, I don't know why,
it's only a hundred years,
I'm still gonna be here.
Heyyy.
)
You said you were just gonna
have the place for about an hour.
Well, it's four hours.
Hey don't worry, Al. Guess what?
We're putting one of your menus in the time capsule.
RICHIE: Yeah. Oh, that's nice.
What's the specialty?
Chicken fricassee and meatballs.
That's good, no fish.
Now, you said you needed one booth,
and what did you do, you set up tables!
The place is a mess!
Well, I know it got a little out of hand, Al.
Yeah, come on, Al, be a pal.
Yeah, you're a second father!
Such a nice guy. Aw, come on.
We'd be nothin' without you, Al Best friends.
What do you say? Come on, you're a good guy.
I'm such a pushover.
Hello, I'm Miss Radcliff.
Oh, hi.
Before I go, I want to thank you
for letting us use your restaurant.
Oh, I like to help the kids
with their school projects.
I love them, and they love me.
That's nice.
(yapping)
Just kidding. Yeah.
Hey, hey, let me use this.
I want to make my cook laugh
he has no life.
Clarence, close your eyes.
Hi, Fonzie. Nice hairdo, Al.
Hey, uh, Cunningham.
Hey, Fonz. Fonzie.
I said Cunningham.
RALPH & POTSIE: Oh, right, Fonz.
Fonz, what did you bring us, huh?
Hey, hey, hey, hey. Oh, sorry.
I was thinking about what you said the other day
about not being around in a hundred years.
Yeah, we're all mortal.
You're mortal, I might move to California.
So, I brought with me
Ta-da! ♪
The original Fonzie leather jacket.
Oh.
See that right there, that lipstick stain right there?
Yeah. That's Lucy Bergdorf.
I was seven, she was 16,
and did she learn fast.
That's terrific. Yeah.
You've been wearing leather jackets for a long time.
That's right. What'd you wear before that?
Leather jammies?
I didn't hear that, Cunningham.
I said did you wear leather
I heard it! Oh.
And, uh, who is the very sophisticated chick
with the glasses?
Oh, forget about her, Fonz.
She is one cold fish.
She's from the Board of Education,
in charge of special projects.
(Radcliff claps) All right,
stop dallying, girls.
Alfred has a business to run here.
Heyyy.
He's saying hello.
That's his way.
Yes, see, he's the Fonz. Mm.
On behalf of the Board of Education,
it's nice meeting you.
(imitating Radcliff): On behalf of the Board of Education,
it's nice meeting you.
Brrr. RICHIE: Yeah.
I told you she's an icicle.
Hey, defrosting is my specialty.
Hey, Fonz. All right.
Let's get these other boxes. Yeah.
Most of the boxes are gone.
Is there anything else you want us to do?
Miss Radcliff told us to do anything you want.
I really like this project.
Yeah, girls, just load up these last
few boxes and you can go home.
He's such a Potsie.
Well, listen, guys,
why don't you just let me load up this last box,
and you guys can go on by yourselves, okay?
He's right.
We should try to get to know Rebecca
and Candy a little better, Potsie.
Oh, yeah.
Let's take 'em up to Inspiration Point.
It's four degrees outside.
I don't do my best work with mittens on.
Look, you better get going
before the chicks split on you.
Right, see you, Rich. Right, see you.
I'm ready, Richie, let's go see your father's vault.
Yeah, we were just gonna drop off these boxes
and leave, that's all.
Right to the vault,
at the hardware store, where it's warm
And there's lawn furniture.
Good idea, Rich.
It was.
CANDY: Well, we're ready.
Anything else you want us to do?
Uh, yeah, uh, girls,
we're all going down to the vault.
Richie said we could help pick out the things
that go in the time capsule.
BOTH: Good thinking, Rich.
It's really nice of you
to ask my friends to go along.
I didn't. I didn't ask your friends.
Come on, girls, let's go get our coats.
What a magnanimous gesture on your part,
to allow us to play this role in history.
What'd she say, Malph?
She's got 140 IQ I don't know.
Boy, am I lucky.
I'm going with the smartest girl in the class!
I'm more lucky.
I'm with the dumbest.
?
.
RALPH: We've even got mannequins for chaperones.
POTSIE: Hey, a hammock.
Hammock?
Now what, may I ask, are we gonna do with that?
Sit on it, Rebecca.
I still got it.
Hey, hey, that box moved!
Hey, is somebody in there?
Come on out!
RALPH: All right, Fonz.
POTSIE: Hey.
Sorry, Fonz, we're just, uh,
showing the girls the vault.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, a couple of lights, a wall,
a very big, big door good-bye.
(thump)
Is somebody else in there?
Hey, hey, come on out.
BOYS: Miss Radcliff!
RADCLIFF: Well,
everything seems in its place,
and you're all in your place,
and I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, yeah, uh, listen, Miss Icecliff, uh
Radcliff. Whatever.
(singsongy): You didn't tell me.
(singsongy): Do you think I planned this?
Listen, uh, call me, huh?
Mm. All right.
Check.
So long, Miss Radcliff.
Boy, do you have a way with girls Oh, wait!
What are you doing?
What's the matter?
You just locked us in here!
Oh, come on, Rich, now, don't kid.
I'm not kidding.
What should we do?
(screaming)
Open the door!
Open up!
Come back, come back, please!
No!
Here we have a man in complete self-control.
(screaming)
Open the door!
(Ralph crying)
RALPH: Open!
(overlapping screaming and shouting)
You, Potsie! Ralph!
I didn't know! I didn't You let us in here!
Maniac You crazy?
It was an accident.
What are we gonna do now? What?! What?!
Ralph, you're gonna be very calm now.
You're very You're cool, right?
You okay?
Right, Fonz.
All right.
Richie, open the door.
I can't, Fonz.
The vault only opens from the outside.
(high-pitched whimper)
Ralph?
Do you mean to tell me that we are stuck in here?
Well
(clears throat)
Uh, my dad will be coming to let us out on Monday.
(all gasping)
It's Friday.
It could be worse.
Potsie, talking only reminds me that you're here.
All right, everybody,
now clear out of the way.
I'm going to get us out of here.
Just move away, girls.
Are we out?
I see stars.
Uh, Ralph, this is a steel door.
You're going to need a longer run with this one.
Probably from Albuquerque.
I can't stand this.
There's no air.
I'm going to go crazy.
I've got claustrophobia.
Claustrophobia is an emotional response
to an irrational problem.
I'm going to shove her 140 IQ
(all talking at once)
No. Ralph, Ralph! Ralph, stop it!
All right, everybody just take it easy.
Just relax.
There's no reason to be frightened.
We're all going to get out of here
Monday.
All right, Rich, here we are.
You know, I think it's dumb
that if girls get scared they can cry,
but the guys think they got to put up a big front.
All right, we're going to have a new rule in here.
From now on, no fronts.
If you want to cry, just cry.
(wailing)
Aw Oh
All right, all right, take it easy.
We got a disaster here. I'm taking over.
There's martial law now. Get over here.
All right. All right, Fonz.
Tell us what to do so we can go home.
All right, now we're all
in the same predicament, you understand?
Except mine's a little worse.
At least you have me.
Okay, listen, anybody got gum, candy, something like that,
give it to me, I'll ration it out, right?
RICHIE: Oh, Fonz, I think I got some Jujubes here.
Oh, well, they're stuck to my pocket,
but I could pick out the lint, uh
Uh, Red, why-why don't you just
save that for later, all right?
Just save 'em, okay?
All right, we got no food, so Potsie here is going to sing,
and make us all forget about our hunger, right, Pots?
Oh, yeah, I'll sing, Fonz. Right.
Here's a ukulele.
Great. You know how to play it? Sure.
POTSIE: Hit it.
(strums chord)
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy ♪
Get ready for the Judgment Day, yeah ♪
Potsie, Judgment Day is not cheery.
RICHIE: Right. Uh, Potsie,
just play something we could all sing to, okay?
Oh, I'm hungry.
Look, we're all starving to death.
No, no, not to death, not to death.
So-So just play something,
and-and get our mind off food.
Okay, we got it, we got it ready?
(mumbles): "Lollipop" (strums chord)
Lollipop, lollipop, oh, lolly, lollipop ♪
Lollipop, lollipop ♪

Lollipop, lollipop, oh, lolly, lollipop ♪
Lollipop, lollipop ♪

Swing low, sweet chariot ♪
Coming for to carry me home. ♪
(Potsie hums melody)
Still awake, huh, Fonz?
Yeah, it's a bad habit I got.
I don't sleep on the weekends.
Yeah.
I guess we really loused up your date with Miss Radcliff.
You didn't help.
You want to sit down?
Think it'll hold both of us?
We'll find out.
You know, Fonz, I was just wondering something,
and, well, you're going to say it's kind of silly.
There must be a logical explanation for it
Just spit it out, Cunningham.
Well, see, it's just that, uh,
I-I can't figure out how the air gets in here.
(laughs)
Yeah, it looks like we got a problem in that area.
(both laughing)
Yeah, I think we have a big problem.
(both laugh)
Just don't tell them.
Oh, yeah, I-I hate to see girls cry.
I hate to see Malph cry.
(both laugh)
Yeah.
Yeah, we're in big trouble.
Yeah.
You know, Fonz, how when-when you get in trouble,
you start thinking about your life?
Well, see, I just realized that
I never kissed my Aunt Bessie.
See, I always pull away.
I I just give her a hug.
Well, so what? You were a little kid.
No, Fonz. It was last Wednesday.
And I'm telling you something
if I get out of this all right,
things are going to be different
between me and Aunt Bessie, Fonz.
I'm going to change my ways with her.
I'm going to be a different person, Fonz
Red, Red, why are you talking so crazy?
Because I'm nervous, Fonz! I'm very nervous!
All right, that happens to be natural.
I'm not even nervous.
I'm scared.
You probably don't know about being scared, but
Well, let me tell you something you've been
on the road as long as I have, you understand scared.
Yeah, but you always said you liked being on your own,
how you never needed a family.
Hey, what am I going to say?
You know, the only advice my father ever gave me?
He was just about to leave home,
pats me on the head, he says, "Fonzarelli"
Very warm man, my father.
He said, "Fonzarelli,
don't go out in the rain in your socks."
That That's touching.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
I've been trying to figure that out for years.
Well, we've got plenty of time tonight, Fonz.
(muffled): I can't take it anymore.
I got candy!
I don't understand him.
He's not enunciating.
No, no I think he said,
"Loosen the bell. The goat is home."
What an odd thing to say.
No. He's got candy, and we're starving!
(all talking at once)
That's right. Just hold it.
Now what is this all about, Ralph?
Let go of his hand.
I was going to hold out, Fonz,
but I couldn't do it to my friends.
(door bell jingling in distance, door shuts)
I hear something. I hear something!
POTSIE: I heard something, too.
(all screaming and shouting)
Whoa!
All you people do is jump up and down
and yell and scream like that, huh?
You want people to come in here
and find a panic with the Fonz around?
Now, will you sit down and have a picnic?
I said sit down! Hurry up, come on, sit down.
Make nice.
Ralph, will you get over there with your friends?
I knew I could open it.
Nick, you clean out the cash register,
and I'll take the vault.
Hey, there's kids in here!
FONZIE: Hey, wait a minute. First of all,
I ain't a kid.
Second of all, you touch one thing in here,
I'll make your face look like that permanently!
Now get out of here!
Let's go, Harry!
(door bell jingles)
Those guys they were robbers!
We were saved by robbers.
We're out of here!
We're saved!
(cheering and squealing)
(door slams, door bell jingles)
I hear a noise. They're coming back!
Close the door! No!
You know, you never cease to amaze me, Potsie.
Sorry, Fonz.
I lost my head.
All right, now, listen, I got the robber's license.
Everybody go home.
Oh. Hey, Becky? Becky! Yeah?
When am I going to see you again?
When they open the time capsule.
Only kidding. Oh.
RALPH: Let's go, Candy.
But I'm driving with the top down.
I need all the air I can get.
I know it's cold. You'll button up.
(door bell jingles) Great evening.
You ought to get outside once in a while.
Air!
Air! I'll drive you home.
I'm sorry about tonight.
It was fun.
Can you get the vault for tomorrow night?
Yeah. I think that can be arranged.
You were very brave.
Very brave.
(soft chuckle)
I'm glad I didn't cry.
(store door opens, bell jingles, door closes)
FONZIE: All right, Richie, here.
Here's the make of the car and the license number.
You give this to your father to check it out, all right?
Oh, good, Fonz.
Listen, I-I got to thank you for something.
You know, everybody in here
they-they went a little crazy, but-but not you.
You know, you
Everybody was jumping up, and then the robbers,
and then and then, you see, we were all kind of
but-but you were just
Am I making any sense, Fonz?
Well, more sense than,
"Don't wear your socks in the rain."
Boy, this was a very interesting evening.
You learn a lot about yourself when you're under pressure.
Yeah. I learned that I never want
to be under pressure with Ralph.
RICHIE: Yeah.
You want this chair?
Yeah Yeah, take that, Fonz.
You know, something else.
People act very different when they're scared.
Even you acted a little different, Fonz.
Oh, well, you mean that conversation we had
Oh, no, no, don't get me wrong,
I didn't mean you were scared.
No, no. You were never scared.
You were just trying to make me feel better.
Yeah, right. I mean, I don't get scared.
No, Fonz. Yeah, right.
I know you know, but he don't have to know.
