My back!

Every time you have
an aggravating day,

your back goes out.

It'll be all right, Marion.

I just need a little rest.

I'll help you with your coat.

Oh, all right. Now...
now, take... No, no, no, no.

Take it easy now. Easy. Easy.

I've got an idea.

What... what are
you going to do?

It's going to work.

Oh, it's going to work.

Marion, easy, easy...

Does that hurt? Does that hurt?

Easy, easy, easy, easy.

It's off.

Is it off?

It's off.

Why don't you go
upstairs and lie down?

Oh, not the stairs, Marion.

Well, then, why don't
you lie down on the couch?

Oh, that's a good idea.

Now, easy. Let me... Poor dear.

Oh, no. I think it's
too low, Marion.

I can't make it.

Well, could you sit
in my chair? It's firm.

All right. Easy
does it. Let me see.

Oh, wait, wait.

Don't leave me, Marion.

Now, I'll just be right back.

I'll get the heating pad.

Oh! Oh!

I hope we didn't miss much.

Let's pull the set
out a little bit, Potsie.

Richard, what are you doing?

Oh, I told the guys they
could come over here

and watch Afternoon Bandstand.

I hope you don't mind.

But I'm trying to rest.

I've got a bad back.

Oh, don't worry,
Mr. C. You'll really dig it.

They only play good rock tunes.

There are no good rock tunes.

I've got a bad back.

Hey, Mr. C., we got to watch it.

Justine and Rory
broke off yesterday,

and we got to see if
they got back together.

Well, I certainly
don't want to interfere

with anyone's love life,
so I'll just go upstairs.

I've got a bad back.

I'll help you, Dad.

Oh, thank you, Richard.

You're a good son.

Excuse me, fellas.

Oh, sure, Mr. C.

I wonder if they
get back trouble.

I'll turn it up.

Justine's dancing with Craig.

Oh! Rory must be
eating his heart out.

No, he's not. He's
dancing with Penny.

Where? Where?

Right over there

in front of that giant
bottle of pimple cream.

Oh, yeah.

Okay, gang, that was
Johnny Fish and the Fins'

big click, "Youngblood."

Richie, don't you
know Johnny Fish's

piano player, Rocky Roads?

Yeah. Sure. We
were good buddies.

We went to summer camp together.

His real name
is Angelo Colletti.

And don't you rockers out
there in Milwaukee-land forget

that Johnny Fish and the Fins
will be staging a big rock bash

at the Civic Auditorium
this Friday night.

Man, oh, man! They're
coming to Milwaukee!

You can get us free
tickets. Right, Rich?

I can?

From your buddy, Rocky Roads.

I'm going to take Jeannie Kahn.

Her lips are a legend.

I'll take Carol Rensco.

She's a legend from head to toe.

That's really a lot of tickets.

Richie, look, you're
not snowing us?

You do know Rocky Roads?

Sure.

You don't sound
too convincing, Rich.

Well, I only went to
summer camp with him.

Camp? The last time
you went to camp,

you were nine years old.

So that's when I knew him.

I don't know if that's
worth six tickets.

I sort of saved his life once.

How do you sort of
save somebody's life?

Well, we were both
swimming in the lake, and...

Well, it's very complicated.

But is it worth six tickets?

Sure. I... I think so.

Hi, Richie.

Hey, Corrine, how are you?

Hi, guys. Sit down.

I... I hear you're
getting free tickets

to the Fish and Fins concert,
and from Rocky Roads himself.

Got a date yet?

No, I don't.

Me neither.

I thought you were
going with Buzz Foley?

I'd rather go with you.

Well, I guess I
could probably...

I accept. Pick me up at
8:00. See you later, guys.

Later, Corrine. So long.

You're a smooth-talking
devil, Rich.

Hey, Cunningham, I
want three on the aisle.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

Hey, I knew you would, huh?

I'll catch you guys later. Hey!

Okay, here's our plan.

The Fins are staying
at the Fister Hotel.

Now, we all go
down there tomorrow

and hit Rocky for the tickets.

We all go?

Sure, you're going to introduce
your buddies to Rocky, aren't you?

And maybe Johnny Fish himself.

I don't know, guys.

That wasn't a question, Rich.

Yeah.

Quiet! Quiet!

Oh, look at this mob.

We'll never get in to see him.

Come on. They'll let you in.

You're not just a fan.
You're his best friend.

You saved his life, didn't you?

Yeah, but the water
was only waist-deep.

Oh, no! It's nobody!

Okay, girls, how about
letting this guy through?

He's a very special
friend of Rocky Roads.

Yeah! Come on! Let him through!

Hold it! Hold it,
fellas. Hold it, lady!

How dare you?

Do I look like a bobby-soxer?

I'm a guest in this hotel.

I'm sorry, lady.

Oh... Johnny! Johnny!

Johnny! I love you! I
have all your records!

I'm in room 411!

Here you are, kids.
Don't tear them.

Johnny, I love you.
Johnny, you're wonderful.

Here, lady. Here,
lady. Have his shirt.

Oh, Sergeant, thank you.

Go on, Rich. Tell him
who you are. Come on.

Yes, sir, I'm a good
friend of one of the Fins.

I was wondering if I
could just say hello to him.

Forget it, kid. No
fans allowed inside.

Tell him about camp. Go ahead.

Right. Well, could you
just tell Rocky Roads

that Freckles is
here to see him.

Freckles?

Yeah. When I was in summer camp,

I had a lot of
freckles on my face,

and that's what everybody
called me... Freckles.

You lead an exciting life, Rich.

Okay, Freckles, wait right here.

Excuse me! Anyone in
there know a "Freckles"?

Sorry, kid. No one knows you.

But you can have a pajama top.

Easy! Easy!

Maybe if I told him
that I saved his life.

It won't work. I
tried it in Chicago.

It won't work.

What's bothering you, Richard?

Nothing, Mom. Why?

Well, I always know when
my children are troubled.

See, Joanie sucks her thumb,

and you stand
holding the basketball,

and you don't shoot.

Chuck sucks his thumb.

Well, I... I guess I do
have a little bit of a problem.

Oh, is this a man problem?

You want me to go
and get your father?

Oh, no, no, no.

It's nothing like that.

You don't remember
Angelo Colletti, do you?

Oh, certainly I do.

That's Sylvia Colletti's son.

She's the one who
talked me into sending you

to Camp Nah Wee with him.

Right, right.

Well, now he's a member

of this rock 'n' roll group

called Johnny Fish and the Fins,

and they're going to be playing

at the Civic this weekend.

I told the guys that I knew him.

They all expect me
to get them tickets.

Well, what's the problem?

Well, I went
down to their hotel,

and I couldn't even
get in to see him.

Hmm. Well, I've got an idea.

You do?

I will call him.

Mom, I... I don't think
that he'd remember you.

Well, he certainly would.

Didn't I give him that
cute little Indian belt

with the little
metal things on it?

Yeah. But that's
what made him sink

when I pushed him in the lake.

I would like to speak to
Angelo Colletti, please.

His stage name is
"Rocky Roads," Mom.

He is part of the
rock and roll group.

Tell him that it's a
friend of his mother...

Marion Cunningham.

Mom, I don't think this is
the way to get through to him.

Well, Angelo! Well, how are you?

Oh, gee. It's really good
to hear from you, Mrs. C.

How's your mother?

Oh, she's fine.

She doesn't like
this rock 'n' roll stuff

but, um... she's
glad I have a job.

Well, when you see her,

you tell her that we miss her

at the Wednesday
night mah-jongg.

We have new tiles.

I heard that you were
going to do a concert here

in Milwaukee this weekend.

Oh, yeah. Would you
like to come on down?

Well, that's why I called you.

Well, how many
tickets do you need?

How many tickets, dear?

Oh, well, I need ten, but I
don't think we should ask for...

How about ten?

You got them. No sweat.

Well, thank you, Angelo.

And, now, Angelo,
remember that, if you're free,

we want you to come and visit.

We would just love to see you.

And bring your
friends if you want to.

Our house is your home.

Oh, hey, we're really busy,
Mrs. C., but thanks anyway.

And look, I'll send the
tickets right over, okay?

Bye.

He's going to send
the tickets right over.

Mom, this is terrific!

You really saved me.

No sweat.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Rich.

Hi, Richie.

Well, I got the tickets.

Hey, that's great! That's great!

All right, Freckles, you
came through again.

Richie, I take back every

curse word I said about you.

How did you get them?

Oh, I told you I
know Rocky Roads.

Hi, Richie. I got the tickets.

You see, Ralph? And
you said he was faking.

I already took it back, Rich.

No sweat.

What is this? "LL"?

That's the row number.

"LL"? That's halfway through
the alphabet... the second time!

And it's balcony "LL"!

Let me see.

Oh! How do you like that?

I give up a row "D" seat
with Buzz Foley for an "LL."

Now Eleanor Devlin's
going to be sitting in my seat,

and I'm going to be
in the rafters with you.

That Eleanor is so lucky!

If we had bought
tickets the first day

instead of trusting you,
we'd have seats up front.

Look, Rocky told my mom

that these were the
best tickets he could get.

Your mom? What's your
mom got to do with it?

Well, she sort of
contacted Rocky for me.

Oh, sure. How did she do it?

By baking him some brownies?

I can't hang around with nerds

that hide behind
their mothers' skirts.

Wait a minute, Fonzie.

I tell you, I know this guy.

"LL." Oh!

Why don't you just admit you
don't know this guy, huh, Rich?

And your mom bought the
tickets so you can save face.

Really low, Rich.

Yeah, but I do know him.

Sure, Rich.

I wish I didn't.

Where's Dad?

Oh, he's staying late
at the Leopard Lodge.

He earned his
first spot tonight.

What do you have
to do to get a spot?

We don't know.
That's a lodge secret.

I just hope he doesn't
hurt his back again

when he has to crouch
down for the initiation.

Would you see
who that is, Richard?

Oh, yeah.

Hi, there.

Rocky!! Yeah.
Hey, Richie, right?

Yeah. You remember me.

How could I forget you?

You shoved me in the lake.

Yeah, but then I
jumped in and saved you.

Well, I could have saved myself.

I mean, the water
was only waist-deep.

Well, yeah. Well, come on in.

Sure, Rich.

Yeah. Nice seeing you.

Well, Angelo.

Oh, hi.

Oh, my gosh! Rocky Roads!

I'm going to faint.

How are you, Mrs. C.?

Oh, Angelo, I am
so glad to see you.

I would hardly recognize you.

You've grown up so much.

You're shaving!

Oh, every day.

I thought it would
be really neat,

but it turned out to be a drag.

Well, come and sit down.

Right. Watch out,
Joanie. Watch out.

Boy...

Well, we are so delighted
that you dropped in to see us.

So famous.

Yeah. Well, you know,

being famous can
get rough, though, too.

They surrounded our hotel,

and we can't get any rest.

Aw, you poor dear.

You know, Mrs.
C., I was thinking.

I know the invitation
was only for dinner,

but, well, I mean,

you're the only people
I know in town, right,

and I was just thinking
that, you know, maybe...

You can stay here.

I just will not take
no for an answer.

That's right. You'll
stay right here.

It'll be great.

Well, you see, my buddies
need a place to hide out.

Absolutely, you're all welcome.

Ah, great.

I mean, it'll only be
for a couple of days.

It'll be fine. Believe
me, it's no imposition.

It's gonna be wonderful.

Hey, it's all right. I swung it.

Hey. How are ya?

Hey. Hi. Hey.

Hi. Hey.

Where's Johnny Fish?

Hey, look, Joanie,

I know it's a little silly,

but he likes an intro,
you know, okay?

Cunningham family,
the great Johnny Fish!

Play a song, Johnny.

You don't know what
you've done for me.

All my friends,

they wouldn't even
believe that I knew him.

And here you are,
you're right in my house!

Richie, Richie, wait.
There's just one thing.

Anything.

You can't tell anybody.

I can't tell anybody?

♪ Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la. ♪

Hey. Wha...?

What're you doing here?

Hey, Pop. I'm hidin' out.

Hiding out?

Look, look, take
me as a hostage,

but let my wife and
kids go, please, huh?

No, I'm no criminal.

I'm a guitar player.

Marion?

Cute hat.

Marion? Marion?!

Shh! Shh!

What do you mean, "Shh"?

The boys are asleep.

What are these hoods doing here?

Shh!

Where's Joanie? Where's Richie?

Where's my hunting rifle?

You don't need your rifle.

They're musicians.

Well, then get me my saxophone.

Marion, what are
they doing here?!

Shh!

They're sleeping.

Well, I'll explain in a minute.

Marion, I am not going
to whisper like a thief

in my own home!

I'll tell you upstairs. Come on.

When I get upstairs,
I'm gonna yell.

My back is... Don't
tell me to "shh."

I'm gonna yell my head off.

Wait. Now, Joanie's in
there. Don't go in there.

Well, why isn't she sleeping

in her own room?

Because Ape...
one of the boys...

Needed a firm mattress,
so he's got Joanie's room.

I'll explain it all to you
as soon as I get you

some rubbing
alcohol for your back.

Oh, Marion, this is
the most ridiculous...

Hey, wait a minute.
Let me help you.

That's a real cute hat.

Here, wait. Let me help you.

No, no, it's just my back.

No, just straighten
up. Straighten it.

Hey, thanks, son.

Just call me "Ape."

Yeah, well, good night, Ape.

Here's the rubbing
alcohol, dear.

Oh, I won't need that, Marion.

Well, Howard.

Anyway, so Buzz Foley
dumped Eleanor Devlin to take me

and he had those dreamy seats.

I couldn't refuse.

I'm really sorry, Richie,
but put yourself in my place.

I mean, wouldn't you
do the same thing?

I don't think so, Corrine.

Well, if I were in your place,

I wouldn't go around saying
I knew famous people. Bye.

Corrine, wait a minute.

Could you come over to my house?

Why would I want to
come to your house?

Well, to see...

You can't come over to my house.

You are weird, Richie.

I really didn't want
to park here, Potsie,

but there was
nowhere else to put it.

I understand, Ralph.

Is that Mr. Showbiz over there?

Sure is. Friend of the
great and near great.

Come on, guys. Lay off, will ya?

Potsie, do me a favor.

Dion and The Belmonts are
coming to town next month.

Ask Richie if he can get
us the last row for them, too.

Hey, Rich, Dion and the
Belmonts are coming to...

Chew glass.

Touchy, touchy.
First he pretends

to be a big shot; now
he can't even take a joke.

Let's go inside.

Nice people in there.

More comfortable.

You're weird, Richie.

Hey, Richie, wait, wait!

Two!

Come on. No way. It counts.

It counts.

No way it counts.

It always counts.

What are you
looking so low about?

Ah, I don't know.

I guess I'm a little depressed.

So tell me all about it.

Well, you got your own problems.

You got a show to do tonight.

Yeah, but listen, you saved
my life once, remember?

Yeah, well...

Corrine thinks I'm
lying about knowing you.

She even broke off our
date to go to the show tonight.

You are living
right in my house.

I can't even tell her.

Yeah, well, I appreciate that.

You know what?

I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.

I'll call her.

You mean it?

Sure. I mean, we're
gonna be leaving

in about an hour or so anyway.

What's her number?

Well, listen, I'll dial it.

You're really
great for doing this.

You're really going
to get me off the hook.

I've been dying to tell her,

but I made that promise
to you, but I didn't mind.

There.

Yeah, hi.

Corrine?

Yeah, this is Rocky Roads.

Yeah, Johnny Fish
and The Fins, right.

Huh? Okay, good-bye.

So what she say?

She said, "You're not fooling
me, Richie Cunningham."

♪ Dip, dip, dip, dip,
bow, sha-la-la, la-la-la. ♪

Cunningham, these
are great seats.

A guy could get a
nosebleed up here.

Where is the stage?

Right down there, Fonz.

Right next to that
little spot of lights.

Oh, man!

We'll make some
room for you here, Fonz.

No, it's all right, huh.

We'll take the back row.
Maybe we can lie down.

Get in there, Chloris.

Boy, look at those
turkeys sitting at ringside.

Are they lucky they didn't have a
friend who knew one of the Fins?

Hey, Cunningham, are
those people down there?

I feel like I'm in
the next county.

Where's your date, Richard?

You see that yellow
sweater in the fourth row?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, listen, cheer up.

These seats are not that bad.

They're really not, dear.

I don't like to sit so close.

Well, it's more
than just the seats.

Nobody'll believe
that I know Rocky

and the rest of the Fins.

Well, you know, there's
a lesson to be learned

from all of this.

I figured with all
this embarrassment

there had to be a lesson
in there somewhere.

You made a promise to a
good friend and you kept it

even though it meant
going through little pain.

A lot of pain.

All right, but the point
is that you were right.

Sometimes it's awfully
lonely being right.

Mr. Cunningham, I can't see.

That's right.

Okay, guys and
gals, this is the group

that you have been waiting for!

Without further ado,
I bring to you now

Johnny Fish and The Fins!

Ladies and gentlemen, I want
to make an announcement.

Fish and all the Fins want
to make a special dedication

of our first song to our good
friend Richie Cunningham.

Richie let us stay at
his house last night,

and even though it caused
a lot of static with his friends

and with his chick,

he kept a vow to us and
didn't tell anyone we were there.

Richie! All right, Richie!

You guys didn't believe me.

Yeah, if I could have brought
Carol Rensco over there,

I'd have had a year's
supply of her lips

at Inspiration Point.

Will you get off his back?

He was right not
to tell you yo-yos.

What I don't understand

Oh, listen, I'm gonna

grab a handful, huh?
