Happy Days

I Happy and free I - S Oh, baby I

The note on the garage door says he's here.

Don't worry about it, boss. I'll find him.

Um...

Hey, uh... hey, kid, are you the mechanic?

Me? A mechanic?

Do you see any grease under those nails?

Me a mechanic.

Look, now, fellas, we really don't have time for games.

We're looking for the mechanic.

He's probably looking for Fonzie.

Uh, if it's about your daughter, we never heard of him.

Hey, can the wisecracks, will you, chicky?

Do you know who you're talking to?

Uh, Hinstead, forget it.

This happens to be one

of the biggest talent scouts in Hollywood.

- (Potsie laughs) Hinstead!

Hollywood talent scout here in Milwaukee? (Laughs)

Right, and I'm Pinocchio.

Here,

Pinocchio.

Look,

we have some auditions in Chicago,

and-and our car broke down.

I mean, what's the difference?

Just show us where we can find this Fonzie guy, okay?

Hey, Pots, get a load of this.

"Jack Duvall, talent scout, Paramount Pictures, Hollywood."

This guy's on the level!

- Hollywood?! - All right, I do comedy.

- Wait till you see this. - You see?

Here we go.

Good evening, ladies and germs.

How do you like me so far?

- You're doing great, Malph. - I know, I still got it.

Yeah, well, and I sing. I sing real good.

I'll clear this table in a minute.

Here. Here. What can I get for you?

Can you get rid of these two clowns, please?

Oh, no, no, no. I'm the clown. He only sings.

- Yeah, yeah. - Come on, come on.

We'll rehearse in here.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Didn't you forget something?

That's enough.

I don't want to chap my lips.

Hey, Alfredo, life is great.

That's Fonzie.

Oh, no, no, don't worry about it, chief.

I'll-I'll take care of it.

Hey, uh, hey, kid, where you been?

Kid?

Well, well, whatever your name is.

L-Look, you got to fix our limousine.

This kid is on a break.

Get a load of that kid.

That hood's got some nerve.

Yeah.

Don't worry, boss. I'll take care of him.

- Sit down, Hinstead. - Right, boss.

Let me handle this.

Excuse me, sir?

Sir. That's very nice.

What can I do for you?

Well, look, I'm terribly sorry to bother you,

but, uh, do girls always run to you like this?

I got to tell you, this crowd is, uh, slow.

Usually, they jump.

Well, I want to tell you that, uh,

I'm a Hollywood talent scout.

Oh, no. Thanks very much,

but I discovered all the talent I need right here.

Oh, no. (Laughs)

No. No. No, no.

I, uh...

I-I don't think you understand.

You see, I've been combing the country

for America's new James Dean.

James Dean. Now, that's important.

I'll have your limo ready in an hour, Jack.

Now, wait, wait.

Now, I... I've been watching you,

and I think you've got a lot of potential.

I mean, you could be the next James Dean,

the hottest star in this country.

Couldn't we have this convo when I finish my dance?

I'm serious.

No, look, I'm serious. I...

Aren't you excited?

Hey, look at this.

Anybody's excited with a few minutes with Daphne.

This guy is really cool.

I mean, did you see the way the girls run up to him

when he snaps his fingers?

I mean, this guy has magic!

Hey, good. He'll be able to fix our limo like that.

Forget the car.

Hinstead, I think we've stumbled onto a major new talent.

I don't see

why you don't want to go to the convention.

Dad, I'm sorry, but this is my last summer before college,

and I've got to do something big.

I've got to do something exciting,

and that's why I can't go to the Leopard Convention.

What's wrong with the Leopard Convention?

Well, I'll tell you what's wrong with it.

Leopards, Leopards, we are true.

We won't change our spots for you.

Dad, that is not my idea of exciting.

Well, of course it's not exciting!

You forgot to growl.

What are you trying to do to me, anyway?

It'll be a fun family vacation.

What-what vacation, Dad?

It's here in Milwaukee.

Oh. Marion. Mar... tell him.

Tell him!

Richie's right!

Howard Cunningham, I have something to say.

Oh.

We have scrimped and saved all year!

Now, we didn't do this to go to downtown Milwaukee.

- That's right, Dad. - Yeah.

How can I tell my mother we went on vacation,

and we spent 80 cents for gas?

And that's if we take the long way!

- (overlapping chatter) - I don't care, Marion.

Every summer, we go to the conven...

Low.

Now, you all know my cousin Chachi.

There's your little boyfriend.

- Hold your breath. - (Richie laughs)

How you doing, blue eyes?

What are you selling today, shrimp?

Oh, no. I sold all the shrimp to Alfred.

But for you, I got no-smear lipstick.

We can test it out later.

Wah, wah, wah.

Yeah. I-I beg your indulgence, Mr. C.

Uh, we're not here to make you out.

We're not here to sell.

The reason I brought Chachi along

is 'cause he's got some very hot info.

Take it away.

Oh, yeah, really hot.

: Ladies and gentlemen!

Shy little fellow.

My cousin, the one and only Fonz...

That's me.

Got discovered by a talent scout at Arnold's,

and he's going to Hollywood!

- Oh, that's amazing! - Oh! Oh, goodness.

- Wonderful! - That's great!

Kids, imagine, I have cooked veggies

for a Hollywood star.

Well, this is all very exciting,

but why is Chachi telling us this?

Modesty wouldn't allow me.

Of course I'll be keeping an eye on the garage

while Fonzie's gone.

Chach, this is my moment, not yours.

Hey, is it really true?

Oh, yeah. He's not a star yet,

but he will be after they make a screen test in Hollywood.

Ah, just a formality.

Have fun in Hollywood, Fonz.

Catch you later, blue eyes.

That'll be the day.

Oh. Oh, Arthur.

You don't need a screen test.

You will be a star the minute they see you.

Come in.

Oh, hi, Ralph. Hi, Potsie.

They recognized us.
