Here it is.

Oh, did you find
the photo album?

Of course. I'm the one that
has to paste in all the pictures.

Good job.

Okay, she's coming now.

Will you pick that stuff up

and get it out of here?

Yeah, we are, Dad,
we are. Dad, we are.

All right, now,
remember the plan.

I'm taking your mother
bowling; she still thinks

I've forgotten it's
our anniversary.

And Ralph's coming by

with all the decorations.

Yeah, and you guys
are gonna put them up

all over the place. Dad,

don't worry about it.

We'll make the place look super

for your anniversary party.

Good, good.

Well, anyway, at
the right moment...

Why are you sitting down?

We can't do anything
until you leave.

Oh, right.

Well, at the right moment,

I'm going to pick a
fight with your mother.

I remember an argument
that was a real beaut.

Huh, remember that?

Howard, why is your fez limp?

I found it in a basket
of clean laundry.

Oh, that's why it collapsed.

It must have gotten
mixed up in the wash.

Of all the harebrained,
irresponsible things...

Harebrained?! I've
got to be at a meeting

in a half an hour, and I
don't have any dinner,

and I've got a limp fez!

"Marion, do this.
Marion, do that."

You want your dinner?

I'll get your dinner,
you've got it.

I'll get your dinner.

I've done it a thousand times.

I can do it with my eyes closed.

Here is your salad,

your vegetable, your meat.

Live it up!

And then when we come home,
we come through the front door,

everybody yell "Surprise!"

What was that, Howard?

Uh, uh, uh, w... uh...

Uh, it was "sunrise."

Uh, there's a very early
sunrise tomorrow, very early.

That's one I owe you, Richie.

Okay, sweetheart, come
on, let's go, we'll be late.

See you.

- Have a good time.
- See you later.

Yeah, bowl well, Mom. Yeah.

Uh, uh, M-Marion, you
can't bowl in that sweater.

You'll get it all dirty.

Well, I'll take it off.

Oh, no, no, no, I, I think
you should go upstairs

and put on your dark blue one.

All right.

Suddenly, he notices
the way I dress.

Oh. Oh.

Come on in, Fonz.

A door slammed in the
face of a man bearing gifts?

Give me that.

Hey, didn't I see a welcome
mat on your front door?

Yeah, but we don't want
Mom to-to see the gifts.

Good idea, all right.

Oh, listen, Fonzie, if my
cousin Nancy gets back

before we do, will you
be nice to her, huh?

Hey, Mr. C., I will be my
very, very charming self.

Yeah.

How is this, Howard? How's what?

Dad, the sweater. Oh, oh!

It's lovely, lovely.

Come on, sweetheart.

Hello, Arthur.

Hey, Mrs. C., how are you?

Listen, you just go
and bowl your heart out.

See you later.

Bye, have a good time.

Well, good-bye, kids...

What was that yelp?

Oh, just some strange dog.

You have a nice time, kids.

Uh, w-w-wait just a
minute, will you, sweetheart?

It's all right now.

What is going on?

It was that strange dog again.

Howie popped my balloon.

He threw me in the bushes.

I always thought he liked me.

We can pal around
together, go to a ball game.

Oh, sure we can, Potsie.

I'm not taking him
to any ball game.

Hiya, Pops.

Potsie, uh, do you have
anything planned for tonight?

Oh, I'm free this evening.

What do you want to do?

Oh, gee whiz, I got to
help Marion with the dishes.

I'm free tomorrow night, too.

Why are you going
to hang up snapshots?

Oh, I got this idea, Fonz.

You see, I, I
want to take us all

through the years pictorially.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

So, then we can see the Big
H become the, uh, Big H, huh?

Oh, look at this.

Here you are in your junior
prom outfit with a chick.

She ain't, she ain't half bad.

Well, uh, I don't do
too bad with the chicks.

I'm Susan.

I'm Richie Cunningham.

And this is my cousin Phyllis.

Hi. Hi.

I'll get my flats.

Why don't you tell
me what you want?

Well, why don't you
move a little closer?

Closer? Yeah.

Okay, uh, how's this?

I like that. Okay.

And, uh, this? That's great.

And this?

I got that one.

Okay, I'll come over here.

And how's, uh,
this? Oh, beautiful.

And this? Yeah.

And this? Oh,
that's a good picture.

Okay, I'll move
over here. I got that.

And this? Oh, you look so great,

Angela... Whoa!

Hey, Richie? Yeah?

Uh, may I use your bathroom?

Oh, sure, I got
one of those, too.

Oh, Richie,

I like this place.

I mean, I love what
you've done to it.

I feel comfortable and relaxed.

Just like a Greenwich
Village hideaway.

I can just let my hair
down... and be myself.

Oh, let your hair down.

Well... be back in a flash.

Right, see you soon.

Okay.

Flash?

Oh.

Privacy, nobody
trying to kick you.

You can do anything
you feel like doing.

You know, Richie,
some guys think

that just because you
go to their apartment,

they think they can just
take advantage of you.

Take advantage of who?

Well, I know you wouldn't
take advantage of me.

Well, did you miss me?

You bet.

Oh, shortcake, look at
this cute picture of you here.

Yeah, that was the
night before my first date.

You little devil.

I'm telling you about life.

You see, there is a right
way and a wrong way.

Now, the right way is
to finish high school,

and then you go to college,
you fall in love with a nice man...

Say, a doctor or lawyer...
And you get married

and you build a home, put
some money in the bank.

Then, you have a baby.

You don't have to do all
that just to have a baby.

Linda Shandley's sister Candy
quit high school to have hers.

She did? I thought she
went away to boarding school.

Well, nonetheless, now, you
see, Candy's is the wrong way.

Now, if this Spike tries

to put his arm around
you in the movie theater,

you just tell him that you
are not that kind of a girl.

What kind of a girl?

Uh, well... the kind of
a girl that you are not.

Oh.

Oh.

Hey, this is my sex talk.

Yes.

Oh, I remember that photo, yeah.

What's yours?

It's a picture of you with
your arm around Potsie.

It was right after,
uh, he saved your life,

and you were his buddy.

Oh, yeah, when he
took me roller-skating.

Well, let me tell
you something, Red.

That is the last time I'm
putting wheels on my heels.

Fonz, Fonz.

Fonz, it's really terrific.

Now, just come on down here.

Heyyy.

I'm still standing.

I'm getting good at this.

How come we have
to do all the work?

Why doesn't Fonzie
have to do anything?

'Cause we're afraid of him.

I'm not afraid of him.

Oh, yeah, you really
stood up to him like a man

when you went and
busted up his bike.

Please don't kill me,
Fonz, please don't kill me!

It was an accident.

I was temporarily
insane, I didn't mean it,

I'll never do it
again, I'll move away.

Just let me live.

You know, Fonz, it
takes a very big man

to look you right in the eye...

to look you right in
the eye a-and say that.

Well, how about it, Fonzie?

He's willing to make it good.

Forgive and forget, huh?

W-What do you say, Fonz, pal?

I'm gonna kill him.

No, no, no! No, no, no!

Okay, is everyone ready?

Ready, okay.

Surprise!

It's me, the life of the party.

Hey, listen, Al, I am

very glad you're here because
this young fellow is starved.

Oh, I made these myself.

Oh, don't apologize, Al.

I'll eat anything, you know.

Oh, yeah, uh,
how about... liver?

Oh, well, this is good, Fonz.

There's nothing wrong
with this; it's just liver.

Get that away from me.

Everybody has got weaknesses.

Superman had kryptonite.

Hey, I got over that if
you remember, huh?

You're all so dear.

Thank you.

Children, thank you so much.

I love these moments.

Well, let's cut the cake, huh?

No, no, not yet.

Uh, Joanie and I
have a present for you.

Sit down. Oh!

Children, thank you!

Open up those
presents. Let's see.

Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad.

Oh, thank you so much.

Listen, something smells funny.

Marion, our children
gave us a dead fish.

Oh, it's just Joanie's joke.

Read the note that's with it.

I don't want to touch it.

Mom, it's a weekend
to Lake Whitefish.

Oh!

Thank you, sweetheart.

Mr. and Mrs. C.,
Mr. and Mrs. C.,

I would be very honored if
you would have this from me.

Oh, thank you, Arthur.

Thank you, Fonzie. Yeah.

Oh, look, it's a little collar.

That's a raccoon tail, Marion.

Oh. FONZIE: Hey, no, no, no.

It's off my bike, you
know; it's brought me, like,

years and years of good luck.

What about your motorcycle jump?

All right, shortcake, that is
the one time I did not have it.

Am I dead?

All right, all right,
all right, all right.

But I was up and moving
around in no time. Whoa.

That was a rotten plan, huh?

Your trick didn't work.

Yeah, I know, I know.

You'll walk, uh, whenever.

All right, hold it.

Just don't tell
anybody you saw this.

Saw what?

Now it's whenever.

Oh.

Ooh!

Fonz, you-you're standing up!

Of course I'm standing up!

What do you think I'm gonna
do, stay on a couch all my life?

Oh!

You-you're walking
real good there, Fonz.

Does your knee hurt?

Of course it hurts; I
just had an operation!

Now, listen to me.

I want to tell you something.

I'm not doing this
because of your dumb plan.

I just wanted to stretch
my legs, that's all.

Yeah, right, Fonz, right.

Oh.

All right, now I'm gonna try
to get my cool into shape here.

How'd I do? You did great, Fonz.

My face, how's my face?

You-You look cool.

Yeah. Yeah.

I want to tell you something.

It's killing me, and no
one will never know.

Yeah.

Hey, girls, I'm up!

All right, all right, I
admit that the jump

was not one of the smartest
things I ever did in my life,

but I gave my word and a lot
of people were counting on me.

I have never walked away from

responsibility in
my life, Jack. Whoa.

This girl could shake you up.

I usually shake them up.

Don't I, Malph? I
usually shake them up.

Little ball, stay up there.
Did he come in yet?

Excuse me.

Hi, I'm Louisa.

Hi. I'm Potsie Weber.

Oh, I'm feeling
so good, let's sing.

Yeah. How about my theme song?

Marion, I got a big
surprise for you.

The lady who introduced us.

Your cousin Nancy?

Howie!

Oh!

How are you?

I haven't seen you
in so many years!

Hey, where are the kids?

Ah, you must be...

Hey. Richie!

Whoa.

Uh, no, no.

No, Nancy, that's not...

Nancy, this is
our little Richie.

Oh, cute!

So clean-cut.

And you,

you must be little
Joanie, big Joanie.

Oh, you have a lot of
troubles coming your way.

Everyone, I'd like you to meet

my favorite cousin,
Nancy Blansky.

Hi. How are you?
Hi. Nice seeing you.

Hey, Howie,

you've put on a
couple, haven't you?

Used to be my favorite cousin.

Did you come from Las
Vegas just for our anniversary?

No, sweetheart, I was
in Cicero catching an act,

and I was so close by,
I thought I'd come over.

Oh. Nancy's in
charge of entertainment

at the Oasis Hotel.

Oh, yeah? Well, if you're

in the market for
talent, look no further.

Yeah.

Well, look inside.

Oh.

It's a toy engagement ring.

That is not funny, Howard.

Oh, that isn't
funny. You know I...

It's a real one, Marion!

Let me see it.

I've always wanted to
have a real engagement ring.

Here, let me take a look;

I've been around

Bye-bye, nice meeting you.

Phone, Mom.

Hey, listen, I think I'd
better be going. Hello.

I have to get to Vegas.
Yes, just a minute.

Arthur. What?

This is someone called
the Aloha Pussycats.

Mm-hmm? In between giggling,

it seems that you
are 20 minutes late.

Well, tell them to relax, man.

It'll be worth it, right? Hey.

He's on his way.

The Aloha Pussycats?

You'd, uh, do
very well in Vegas.

Well, thank you very much,
but I got to tell you something.

I do very well everywhere!

Hey, listen, congrats, huh?

Really, Mrs. C. Oh, thank you.

Nancy Blansky, huh?

Knock yourself out.

All right, hey! I'll see you.

Thanks, Fonz. Bye, Fonz.

Good-bye. Oh!

Listen, babies, I got to go,

but next time I'm
in the neighborhood,

I'll drop in, okay? Yeah.

Don't wait till our
40th anniversary.

Uh, so long, kids.

Bye. So long.

Howie. Hmm?

One more time.

Oh, Howard, thank
you for that anniversary.

Mm-hmm.

I think they want to be alone.

Yep.

They're at it again.

We've got the friskiest parents.

What's your project, Joanie?

Oh, I wrote a composition:

"My Parents Are Still Frisky."

Well, what do you want to do?

Are you getting frisky?

It's only Thursday!

Oh, boy.

Every Saturday,
it's the same thing.

Come on, sweetheart,
let's go to sleep.

I should clean up.

Oh, it can wait till tomorrow.

You know, we were
doing the same thing

20 years ago tonight.

Mmm.

Only then, we were running.
