On With The Show

hey, fez, you know what was awesome? That time you rode that tree.
How did he ride a tree? Oh, he climbed it, kelso cut it down.
You guys have a million stories and you know each other so well.
It's like you have your own language.
I don't even understand half the things you say.
If you understand anything that fez says, you're the only one.
Burn! Oh, kelso can't understand me? Now I know how it feels to be a book.
Ah-burn! See? Man, I wanna burn somebody so I can be part of the gang.
This gang? Angie, the only reason this gang formed was because no one would let us into their gang.
We're like the chess club, but better looking and dumber.
Hey.
Hey.
Um, so was there somethin' you wanted to say to me the other day at the record store? Oh, yeah.
I wanted to talk to you about Abba.
Abba? No, you said you wanted to talk about us.
Right.
Our feelings about abba.
You know what? Good.
Great.
Believe me, I don't wanna talk about us, either.
Come on, angie.
We were supposed to open the record store, oh, about seven hours ago.
You told me you wanted to tell hyde that you still love him and you wanted him back.
Yeah, well, it's obvious he doesn't want me back.
So you better not tell him what I said, or I'll be humiliated.
My lips are a seal's.
Don't you mean that your lips are sealed? I'm not hearing the difference.
Great.
Anyways, you guys, I have huge news.
You know how point place cable has that public access channel? Yeah! Donna, didn't your dad do, like, a belly dancing show there? He guest-hosted.
Shut up.
Anyways, I'm gonna have my own show! Just like mary tyler moore.
Oh, except I won't stop for commercials 'cause no one really wants to take a break from me.
I don't know.
That week you were in florida-- that was a nice, quiet week.
Have you been in bed all day? Yeah, I have.
I've been reading the jack kerouac classic "on the road.
" See, as I see it, why get out of bed when you can read about people who got outta bed? You have got to be the laziest non-communist I've ever met.
And you are about to read a book that my foot wrote.
It's called "on the road to in your ass.
" Okay, now, red, please, let's hold off on the cursing until happy hour.
This year-off crap better come to an end or I'm gonna put you in a box and mail ya to the marines.
Oh, don't worry, honey.
Your father's too cheap to mail something that heavy.
He just wants you to have some direction, and so do I.
And you are in luck because I got the new issue of "cosmo.
" Oh.
Well, I'm just not sure I need seven new ways to please my man.
No.
No.
Honey, it's a job aptitude test.
Okay, question number one-- "do you consider yourself creative?" - Well-- - yes! You were a little wiz at macaroni art.
"Do you prefer to work alone or with others?" - Alone.
- Nope.
You love people.
Okay, question three -- "do you" well, that's easy.
Look, mom, I'm happy just enjoying my world.
I'm like an explorer I'm exactly like christopher columbus, except, you know, I've I've been incredibly distracted by television.
Okay! All done.
Now, according to your answers you should be a nurse! That 70's Show - Saison 7 Episode 16 "On with The Show" okay, fez, since you're helping me with set dressing, I want the set to reflect my sparkling personality.
I want it to say "jackie.
" Okay, let me see.
Maybe some glitter, a disco ball uh-huh.
I want a big sign that says "jackie.
" I hate this room.
It reminds me of my dad dancing around half-naked with finger cymbals.
Well, my show is gonna be a news show all-nude or just topless? Not nude-- news! I'm not hearing the difference.
Jackie, how are you gonna tell people the news if you don't know any news? I know all the news that's really important, like who's got a new car, what store is having a sale on leggings and, uh, and if there'll ever be peace in the middle-east.
who am I kidding? No one cares about China.
Hey, Eric, can I have some of your fries? Sure.
Well, I don't want any.
Burn! I think you're confusing a burn with just talking.
Eric, can I have some fries? yeah, help yourself.
Burn! Yeah, um, I knew you were gonna do that so I spit in 'em.
Burn! Totally.
Hey, hey, hey, hey! You ate his spit! Burn! Uh, that's a piggyback burn.
We don't do that.
Come on Angie.
You've gotta do inventory in the store room and I gotta go sleep behind a box.
Man, you want to, uh, catch a movie or something? Nah.
I gotta go down to the police academy.
They're gonna teach me what prisoners feel like.
Guys are gonna handcuff me to a flagpole for a few hours.
It's not in the curriculum, but they say it's required.
Hey, uh I'm sorry, are you reading the new "mighty spectaculus"? Yeah.
You a fan? When trouble arrives by car or bus, we summon - The mighty spectaculus! - The mighty spectaculus! They call me eric forman.
Stew bailey.
No relation to beetle.
Hey, Stew, I mean, if you're interested, they're havin'a spectaculus spectacular down at the atomic comic book nook.
You're probably-- You probably have to get back to work or something.
I don't have to be anywhere.
I don't have a job.
How old are you? Well, let's just say I'm two years older than professor Reveng-O.
S-so then, Stew, what do you do all day? You're lookin' at it.
Oh, we're gonna be good friends.
Fez, jackie's show is about to start.
Aren't you supposed to be helping her? She asked me to make a giant sign with her name on it, so I said, "you got it Baby!" so then I went to get some ice cream and then I went to play some space invaders and, um, and then I came here to watch the show.
I could never be on tv, unless it was johnny carson Because I have a very funny story about a cheeto that looked just like jesus.
So, Fez you've been hanging out a lot lately with jackie.
Any idea what she wanted to talk to me about at the record store the other day? Um, I don't know.
I was there.
I mean, I-i wasn't there.
I, uh I was, uh, I was away on business.
Well, if she wanted to get back together, that's something I wouldn't mind knowing.
So why don't you just go ahead and spill the beans? Beans? What beans? The only beans are in your head, You little bean-head! Anyway.

I opened the bag, and there he was-- the beard and everything.
Oh, Oh! Jackie's about to start.

Ten seconds until you're on the air, offending thousands of people.
Thousands of people? In 5 4 3 You didn't say 2 or 1.
It's because you're on now! Well, but I'm not hi.
I'm Backie Jurkhart.

Let's do some"star wars" trivia.
Go.
Oh, I got a stumper.
Who is luke and obi-wan's nemesis at-- doctor Evazan.
Man, you're good.
look, let me ask you a question.
Some people think that if I keep living, you know, "without a purpose" that I'll be all, I don't know, unfulfilled and stuff.
Do you ever feel unfulfilled? I've seen "star wars" in seven different states.
I even met the midget that they stuck inside r2-d2.
What could be more fulfilling than that? I don't know.
Hey, dorks.
Listen, uh, angie had a really rough day at work, so I'm gonna rub her feet and you might wanna clear out before I start rubbin' other stuff.
Eric, come over later.
We'll game.
Who was that guy? That's this guy St-- I don't care! Burn! Angie, you're cute as a button, but you burn like a botard.
Look, if you wanna burn someone, you gotta embarrass them to make other people laugh.
You want to combine the elements of humiliation and surprise.
Dude, what the hell? Burn! Oh, hey.
Jackie, uh, I saw your show.
It isn't as good as a lot of other shows.
No.
It was great for people who think regular tv is too entertaining.
I freaked out.
I mean, the cameras turned on and I realized I'm completely alone.
I'm alone on tv and I'm alone in real life.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Burn! Oh, my god! Uh uh, I forgot to tell you the part about you don't burn someone who's already crying.
Okay, best side kick-- Robin or Aqualad? Ooh.
Uh, toughie.
Is the villain they're fighting terrestrial or Aquatic? Stewie, you didn't tell me you were having a friend over.
Eric, this is my mom.
Y-you still live with your mom? Oh, she's more than just my mother.
She's my best friend.
She's your best friend?! Well, you're givin' her a run for her money.
Okay, I gotta go.
Are you sure? I was about to make sandwiches in the shape of x-wing fighters.
Uh, no, really.
Well-- no, I gotta go.
What are you doin'? I'm throwin' out all my comic books.
I saw my future today and well, it's living with its mother.
Yeah, well, I saw my future and it sweats.
Wait, wait, wait.
Hold on.
You sweat? Uh, would you happen to have a picture, some tape of this that I could laugh at? Eric, I tried to have my own tv show, and I failed.
My life is over.
I'm not good enough to be on tv.
No, jackie okay, come on.
You're good-looking, you're incredibly superficial and you lie constantly.
I think you're perfect for tv.
Do you really think so? Yeah.
I mean jeez, look, at least you're doing something with your life.
I have wasted an entire year.
Eric, let me stop you right there, okay? Since you were kind enough to cheer me up when my spirits were low, I'm gonna go.
Thanks! Hey, forman, let me ask you a question.
What do you think about me and jackie? Well, man, you know what I think.
I think that jackie is evil incarnate.
I think that if you were to cut off one of her hands, it would probably grow back into another jackie.
Look, before jackie, you were just some pissed-off guy in my basement.
But with her I mean, you seemed happy, man.
Hey, I was never happy.
I was just less pissed off.
Hyde I lied to you when I told you that I was away on business.
No.
yes.
And I know what jackie wanted to tell you.
She still loves you.
What? Yeah.
She said she was wrong and that she wanted you back.
She was vulnerable, so I tried to french her.
But no-go.
Shouldn't jackie be here by now? Yeah.
She's supposed to go on in, like, a minute.
I don't think she's gonna show up.
What? No! But we were gonna do this whole segment on sluts.
And I was gonna be the slut expert.
That's the only kind of expert I'm ever gonna be! Hey.
Jackie, I can't believe you showed up.
I can't believe i showed up.
What am I doing with my life? Okay, come on, people.
We got a show to do.
