Happy Days is filmed
before a studio audience.

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.

She has a Sunbather magazine.

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.

You're not supposed
to know about it.

Hi, Daddy's home.

Yes, Howard, dear.

Dad, can I have 50 cents?

Is that the way you
greet your father?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Well, how do you like the vault?

It's great! Look
at all this stuff.

We've even got
mannequins for chaperones.

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!

All right, Fonz.

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.

Is somebody else in there?

Hey, hey, come on out.

Miss 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.

You didn't tell me.

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?

Open the door!

Open up!

Come back, come back, please!

No!

Here we have a man
in complete self-control.

Open the door!

Open...!

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.

Ralph?

Do you mean to tell me
that we are stuck in here?

Well...

Uh, my dad will be coming
to let us out... on Monday.

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...

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.

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?

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.

Hit it.

♪ Forget your troubles,
come on, get happy ♪

♪ Get ready for the
Judgment Day, yeah... ♪

Potsie, Judgment
Day is not cheery.

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?

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.

Yeah, it looks like we
got a problem in that area.

Yeah, I think we
have a big problem.

Just don't tell them.

Oh, yeah, I-I hate
to see girls cry.

I hate to see Malph cry.

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.

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!

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.

I hear something.
I hear something!

I heard something, too.

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!

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!

Those guys... they were robbers!

We were saved by robbers.

We're out of here!

We're saved!

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.

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.

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.

I'm glad I didn't cry.

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.

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.

That's a little pushy, Marion.
