Laverne & Shirley is filmed
before a studio audience.



Does anybody know why
Carmine wanted to see us?

Maybe he's planning
to murder us one by one.

What would he
want to do that for?

I don't know about
the rest of youse,

but we dropped a rock
through his windshield.

♪ Fa, la, la, la,
la, la, la, la, la. ♪

That's it? You bought a bush?

Well, it only cost a dollar.

That's a dollar bush?

That's all you gave me to spend.

Where's the change?

I bought a car with it.

What do you guys
think of my tree, huh?

It's cute. It looks like a bush.

What'd you do, steal
if off a Munchkin?

Well, I like it.
I think it's nice.

Hey, Mr. De Fazio,
you got a few minutes?

Yeah, what do you want?

Hey, look, everybody,
I'm sorry I'm late,

but Lucille and I, we
had to get our inoculations

for our trip to
Europe next month.

Skip the sleazy details,
will you, Carmine?

Why'd you call us here?

I want you all to
perform in a show

I'm putting on Christmas Eve.

Oh, you mean like last year

singing carols at
the Waterfront?

I caught a cold.

No, no, no, no, no!

Look, I'm talking about
a way of helping people

who are not as
fortunate as we are.

Who's not as
fortunate as we are?

People in a hospital.

Now they called my dance studio

and all my kids are
busy Christmas Eve,

so, uh, what do you say, huh?

You wanna help sick people?

What are we going to do though?

If they're really sick, maybe...

All right. Okay, that's great.

Now we could do
some kind of act.

Mr. De Fazio could
be the MC, right?

Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

Right, all right.

You decide what you want to do,

and I'll go make the travel
arrangements, all right?

And I gotta go now. I
gotta... replace my windshield.

We didn't do it.

Yes, you did.

And you ain't mad about it?

Naw, are you kidding?
Sure, of course not. Well...

Wait till you see your truck.

Wait a minute!

It's not our truck!

Hello, hello, hello.

Hi. Hi.

You must be the
entertainment for this evening.

Yeah. Who's in charge here?

Carmine Ragusa, the
Big Ragu. Mr. Ragusa.

Uh, look, the orderly
downstairs let us in.

There's a couple more of us,

but they're out parking the car.

Oh, well, it's nice to have you.

I'm Dr. Pulper, and I'd like to
welcome you to our little hospital.

Well, thank you. Yeah.

You know, when we
were passing the wards,

the people look pretty
healthy here, huh?

Yeah, well, this isn't
a regular hospital.

It's a mental hospital.

You mean you keep
the geniuses here?

No, no, you silly little man.

It's a psychiatric hospital.

You know, the people here
have mental health problems.

Look, there's no
reason to be upset.

Those patients are human beings.

They've been looking
forward to this night for weeks.

Now, please don't
disappoint them.

What do you think?
Well, we're here.

No, no, you don't understand.
I gotta think about my aunt.

It's all right! It's all right!

We'll stay.

Oh, thank you.

You know, actually, when
you get right down to it,

those patients there
are just like you and me.

Shame, shame, shame, Mr. Pulper.

Impersonating a doctor again?

Now give me back my jacket.

Aw, come on. Do
I have to really?

Please?

It was going off
really well. All right.

I fooled you, didn't I?

Go on, now.

That man is a patient here?

Yes, he is. Mr. Pulper
likes to pretend

that he's various
members of our staff.

Hey, that sounds like fun.

Does it really?

No.

Well, my name is Dr. Grayson.

Yes, well how do we know that?

Well, you don't.

Well, we might as
well get busy here.

This obviously is the stage

and your dressing
rooms are out here.

Now I don't anticipate
any problems this evening,

but if some trouble
should crop up, just freeze!

Don't move until someone
comes to help you.

We're wasting time if you
want to see the dressing rooms.

Oh, we... good.

Take your shoes here.

Psst! Laverne! Laverne!

Come here, come here!

Shirl, we're gonna go
see the dressing rooms.

No, no, not me. I'm
going home right now.

Now you're going home?
You can't do that. Yes.

What's the matter with
you? You're white as a sheet.

Laverne, I'm
frightened of this place,

and I'm frightened
of these people.

Come on. Oh, no, you
remember my Aunt Mary Margaret?

Oh, yeah, sure... the
one who tried to build

the sailboat on your roof.

That's right. So?

So one day she was a perfectly
sane, middle-aged woman,

the next day she was
wearing a Kleenex on her head,

blowing her nose with her hat.

It's not funny, Laverne.

She had problems.

They put her in a
place just like this one,

and when I was a bad
little girl, my parents told me

they were going to put me
in with my Aunt Mary forever.

Well, so... and... my
parents used to say

they would wrap
me up in a burlap bag

and sell me to the Eskimos.

I'm still here.

Come on, parents say rotten
things to kids just to get them

to wash their elbows,
behind their ears.

All right, I'll try.

Oh, come on, be a good girl.

He's a cop now.

Hi, officer. Sergeant.

Mr. President.

Ladies and gentlemen,
the Pizza Bowl Players

are proud to present
your MC for tonight's show,

Mr. Frank De Fazio!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much.
It's real good to be here.

And as Ted Lewis, the
great showman says,

"Is everybody happy?"

Yeah, yeah, that's good.

Now, last Christmas, I
got a wonderful present:

a smoking jacket.

No matter how I try
it, every time I put

that smoking jacket in my
pipe, the sleeves hang out.

And now, a musical number
from the Pizza Bowl Band.

Laverne... Hmm?

Laverne, why is
this girl staring...

What are you doing? Flirting.

He's sorta cute, huh?

His name's Vincent
and he's crazy about me.

What's he in here for?

I don't know, but he said
he's gonna buy me a mink,

a Rolls Royce
and a trip to Paris.

He stopped.

I hope I didn't
hurt his feelings.

Oh, boy.

You make me very nervous
when you talk like this.

Just tell me one thing. What?

Behind us...

Why is this girl giving
me this goofy stare?

She keeps staring at me.

What are you talking about?

No one's staring at you.

Hello, I'm Nurse Pulper.

Aw, that's a cute
little hat you got there.

I had one of them when I
was a volunteer nurse once.

Well, I wanted to tell you two

we have a surprise
for you later.

A real surprise.

Oh. You want to
give us a little hint?

No.

I hear my mother calling me.

Her mother lives in California.

Moving right along... in
person, here they are...

Lenny and the Squigtones.

Christmas is a special
time for everybody.

Be they rich or
poor, pretty or ugly.

So in case any of
youse is thinking

of jumping up here on the stage,
remember we can get pretty ugly.

And you took it?

What, it's made

Forget about that.

Look! See!

See, she's staring at me.

She's still staring at me.

Well, she just
wants to be friendly.

Go on, she's lonely.

Give her a little smile.

Say "hello" to her. Go ahead.

Come on, you could do it.

Go ahead.

No, I can't, I can't.

Okay, okay, okay.

Take it easy, forget about it,

forget about it.

Come on, let's go backstage.

It's almost time
for us to go on.

Oh, ho, uh, hi, Mr. Pulper.

Chef Pulper.

Right, right, right.

brought you the show,

Carmine Ragusa.

It's me they want.

It's me they want,
I know it! Shh.

I believe it's time
for our little surprise.

Is this going to hurt?

Uh, who are you now?

I'm me, Mr. Pulper.

I thought we'd met before.

No, we did, we did,
we met a few times.

Anyway, on behalf of everybody,

I just want to thank you
for coming here tonight.

We loved your show.

Oh, thanks.

You know, most people
don't like to come here.

They think that we're dangerous
just because we have problems.

And we do have problems,
but that's why we're here

so we can learn
how to deal with them.

That's, uh, very
good, Mr. Pulper.

As a matter of fact,

a lot of our patients
here are voluntary.

Like Mr. Van Horn, for instance,

but he's leaving us next week,

and he's going
back to his business.

He's a very big steel tycoon.

Aw, will you call me?

What I'm trying
to tell you is that,

well, it gets real lonely
around here sometimes,

'cause people would
rather forget about us.

Especially at Christmas.

So, thanks for spending
your Christmas Eve with us.

And here's the big
surprise I was talking about.

It's a thank you scroll
that we all signed.

Aw.

Isn't that nice?

Oh.

Gee, Napoleon.

Julius Caesar.

Joan of Arc. Mary,
Queen of Scots.

Nancy Drew. Thank you.

Pulper, give them
the right scroll.

I just wanted to show them

we still have a sense
of humor around here.

We also have another tradition.

We all gather around the tree

and sing "Silent Night."

Would you sing it with us?

Oh. Please? Sure.

Sure, come on, let's go.

Okay, let's sing.

Go ahead, start us off.

Isn't that a pretty tree?

Look at that.
