Happy Days

Hi, Richie.

How are you feeling, dear?

Better, except I can't find Jack Horner's thumb.

Why are you doing Joanie's old jigsaw puzzle?

Because I've done all the crossword puzzles,

all the connect-the-dots, all the follow-the-mazes.

It was either jigsaw or die of boredom.

Well, this will cheer you up.

A happy face made out of Jell-O?

Yeah, I thought I'd treat you to some solid food.

Mom, I don't think Jell-O

technically qualifies as solid food.

Well, doesn't that cheer you up?

If you want to cheer me up, get me a happy face pizza.

Now, Richard,

your stomach isn't strong enough for that.

It's been so long since I had solid food,

I'm forgetting how to use my teeth.

How's it going, Rich?

It's going very boring.

Well, no one said that Asiatic flu

was supposed to be interesting.

Just be patient, Richard.

The doctor says you're going to be better

in a couple of days. Couple of days?

Marion, we're all supposed to go see Cinerama tonight.

Well, I'd better not go.

I could hardly enjoy flying through the Grand Canyon

with a sick boy on my mind.

Can Rosita go?

If that roller coaster ride is really wild, she'll throw up.

Never mind that.

We'll all stay home.

Supposed to be a family outing,

so I'll just exchange the tickets.

Terrific!

Now I can take Ronnie, Bonnie and Rosita.

Boy, I'd better bring a lot of barf bags.

You know, she's growing into quite a young lady.

Oh, what an exciting game.

Richie now leads Cunningham 76-74.

Cunningham takes the ball out being closely guarded by Richie.

Cunningham fakes to his right, shoots.

Aw, short. No good.

Hey, Fonz. Hey...

How long you been out there?

Not long.

I missed the first half.

Well, I'm glad you came and everything,

but why'd you go through the window?

Hey, do you want me to parade

through your living room with these?

Wow, Confidential, Police Digest...

Playboy.

What'd you expect, Jack and Jill?

Where'd you get these, Fonz?

Well, I got a deal with my barber.

If I spread around that he does my DA,

I get a free haircut,

free magazines and first crack at his manicurist.

Is there something else I can get you?

Yeah, there is.

Food.

Solid food like, uh...

like pizza or cheese dogs

or onion rings. Anything at all.

Yeah, I can dig it.

You're tired of egg in your milk, huh?

Yeah, and mashed-up aspirin in my applesauce.

Hey, listen, mothers are like that.

Mine used to sprinkle aspirin on my linguine

and tell me it was parmesan cheese.

Well, I gotta have some solid food.

I used to dream about girls,

now I'm dreaming about French fries.

I'll bring it back to you

when I come back with your car.

My car?

Yeah. I gotta borrow your wheels.

I'm taking Yvette to the drive-in

and it is very difficult

to get in the back seat of my motorcycle...

if you get my drift.

Oh, yeah.

Well, I guess that'd be all right.

Just don't forget the food. All right, Fonz?

Hey... Thanks.

Don't you need my keys?

Hey...!

And he makes a 20-foot jump shot.

That makes the score 527-527.

What an exciting game.

Just listen to that crowd roar.

Yeah, yeah.

Boo, boo... And he misses, in and out.

Richie, how you doing?

Rich, hey, good to see you.

Not too long, now, boys.

We just don't want Richard to get excited.

Oh, don't worry, Mrs. C.

We want our good buddy up and at 'em again as much as you do.

Right, Ralph? Right, Potsie.

Oh, and, Mrs. C., have a pleasant day.

It came, it came.

What, what came? Our ticket to paradise.

"Potsie Kowalski"?

Yeah, I couldn't use my real name.

"General post office delivery." What is this?

It's the French sunbathing films I sent for.

Come on, Rich, your dad has an eight millimeter projector.

Let's set it up. You're out of your mind.

My parents are here.

They were gonna go see Cinerama tonight,

but they're staying here because I'm sick.

Get better!

Come on, Rich, I'm dying to see this film.

Talk them into going.

Well, it it's not an easy thing to do.

Rich, I didn't want to show you this in your condition,

but you forced me into it.

What is it?

Look at the ad between "Ruptured"

and "How to Study to be a Forest Ranger at Home."

Oh, yeah.

"Unusual films for the connoisseur.

"See the bare facts.

French beauties on the naked sands on the Riviera."

See, "bare" and "naked" are underlined.

It's a code.

And look, "Must be 25 or over to order this film."

All the other ads say 18.

Yeah? Yeah.

Bare?

Naked?

Richard. Hi, everybody.

What are you doing down here?

Well, I'm feeling so much better that I...

I thought I'd come down and see what solid food looks like.

Oh, the boys' visit must have cheered you up.

Oh, yeah, it really did. Anyway,

I'm feeling a lot better and, uh...

I think that you should go to the movie.

We couldn't leave you alone, dear.

I'm not gonna be alone.

Ralph and Potsie are gonna come over here

and help me catch up on my homework.

Well, I don't think so.

Marion, he says he's feeling better.

And besides, you deserve a night out

after taking that hot chicken soup

up and down the stairs all day.

That's right.

I couldn't leave him alone, dear.

A flight through Grand Canyon, just like in a plane?

Grand Canyon.

The roller coaster... Roller coaster. No.

Lowell Thomas, 40 feet high.

Lowell Thomas.

Lowell Thomas...

Are you sure that you feel all right, dear?

I feel fine and I really wish that you'd go.

All right.

Yippee!

Now, you have the number

of the doctor and the theater,

and the fire department? Right.

Marion, we're not going on the voyage of the Kon-Tiki.

We'll be back in a few hours, now come on.

Mom, go.

I'll be all right.

Now you just try to get some rest then.

Oh, I will.

See you later, Rich.

I will. I'll really rest.

Well, I still don't

feel right about leaving him alone, Howard.

Marion, the boy is gonna be all right.

You're just overreacting.

I'm not overreacting.

Joanie, you should have a sweater on

underneath that coat.

Oh, Mom, do I have to?

It makes me look fat.

Well, wouldn't it be better to look fat

rather than get double-pneumonia?

Marion, you're overreacting again.

Hello, Ralph?

Yeah, come on over.

Right, right. It's all clear.

Quit breathing so heavy

or your parents will know something's up.
