I got to go.

Fonzie, Elvis, Marilyn Monroe --

the fifties were cool.

We're going to have
a Sock Hop in the Max

and, like they said back then,

dig that crazy scene...

Whatever that means.

What's up, guys?

Hi, Zack.



What's up?
What's new?

Hey, everybody.

Screech, what are you doing?

I'm practicing for the Sock Hop.

Duh.

Why don't you hop
into the ocean?

Hi, Ginger.

Hi, guys.

Order real slow, OK?

♪ Sha doobie sha doom ♪

♪ We'll have some burgers
and a plate of fries ♪

order for you ♪

[all]
♪ Ginger, my love ♪

Wow! You guys ought to
perform at the Sock Hop.

We're going to.

That's right. You're
looking at the five aces.

Awesome.
When you're famous,

I can say I used to
mess up your orders.

She didn't even take our orders.

Hey, we're lucky
she found our table.

My kid sister J.B.
is home for a while.

I haven't seen her
for a long time.

After boarding school, she
spent the summer in Europe.

Europe? We know who's
the favorite in your family.

I didn't know you had a
sister. What's she like?

J.B.'s a real tomboy.

Just like you, Tori,
not feminine at all.

Will somebody
please hit him... hard?

Hi, Mr. Belding.

Jeez. Something wrong?

Mrs. B signed me up
for a male sensitivity seminar.

You don't need that.

You're already very sensitive.

Why, thank you, Screech.

Aah!

See?

Anyway, I got to waste a
weekend sitting around with guys,

getting in touch
with my feelings.

What a bunch of hooey.

Poor Mr. B.

I don't know,
I think guys could be

more in touch
with their feelings.

No, no, no.
Don't give me that.

Guys are just as
sensitive as girls.

- That's right.
- Ha!

Whoa. Check that out.

Uhh. She is
one hot babe.

Hubba hubba.

And may I add,
hubba? Hubba.

Oh, yeah.
Really sensitive.

The three barbarians.

I'd treat her like a lady.

I'd take her out to dinner,
maybe a drive-in movie...

And steam up the windows.

Wait. Then how would you
be able to see the movie?

Wow, I see a chick
that's even hotter.

Hey, that's no chick.

That's my sister.

That's J.B.?

She's changed.

Hi, A.C.
Zack, hi!

Hi.

Hi, Lisa.

Hi, J.B.

How you doing, Screech?

Oh, I'm ok, but I
got this bunion.

It...

Honey, you've really grown up.

Yeah. You're
a girl now.

Hey, there's still hope for you.

Bug off, bug.

I'm Tori.

It's OK. I'm used to
it from these guys.

Hi.

Wrestling practice starts soon.

You'll finally see me in action.

OK. I hope I'll
see you all later.

Let's go.

Wait up.

I want to see Slater
in action, too.

Preppie, I've been
wrestling for four years,

and you've never
come to practice once.

I know. I've been
a very bad friend.

So, I guess private school
must be pretty cool, huh?

It's OK.

Last semester was tough 'cause
I broke up with my boyfriend.

You had a boyfriend?

Yeah. Is that
so hard to believe?

No. I didn't mean that.

It's just you didn't have a
boyfriend when I knew you before.

That was some time ago.
I've grown up.

Oh, so I've noticed.

Hey! Did you
see that throw?

You see that,
J.B.?

Oh, yeah. Great!

Why don't you do it
again, Slater?

[blows whistle]

So what about you, Zack?

You always had
a lot of girlfriends.

Oh, not that many, really.

You going with anyone now?

No, no, just sort of
playing the field.

You know...

Me, too.

I hope this is over
soon. It's boring.

I'm getting hungry.

Oh, yeah? Let's go
to the Max later.

I'd love that,

but why wait?

Hey, where are you guys going?

Whoa!

[blows whistle]

I can see it now.

Zack Morris dates
best friend's sister.

Lisa, I don't have a sister.

Not you, pinhead.
Slater's sister.

What does Slater
have to say about this?

Well, I haven't told him yet.

You think it would bother him?

Why should it?

You're his best friend.

Hey, what's up?

I was just telling them

I'm going to
ask out J.B.

J.B.?

Yeah. I told Zack
you'd be happy about it.

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm thrilled.

Great.

I got to get to class.
See you guys later.

Zack, I want tons of details.

Why are you frowning?

I thought you were thrilled.

Thrilled?
Are you crazy?

I can't let my sister date Zack.

His lips are busier than mine.

I've got to stop this.

OK, you know what to do, right?

Right, but why don't you
want J.B. to date Zack?

Would you want him
dating your sister?

I don't have a sister.

How would you feel if
you did have a sister?

I'd be happy. I hate
being an only child.

Look, just ask her out
before Zack does, OK?

OK, but why me?

What do you do when
you get a girl alone?

I show her my bug
collection, of course.

That's why.

All right,
here she comes, Screech.

Impress her.

Hi, bro.
Hi, Screech.

- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Tori.

J.B., do you like
grasshoppers,

beetles, wasps?

No! Yuck.

Hmm...

Well, what is
your favorite insect?

A dead one.

Wow. You know, J.B.,

I don't think you
and I are compatible.

You'd be much better
off with a guy like Zack.

Hi, everybody.

J.B., I have been
looking for you.

Want to go to the movies
with me tonight?

I'd love to.

That's a better match,
don't you think?

Hey, me and Tori can go along.

"Me and Tori"? Slater,
when did we start dating?

Since they did.

I mean, I think it'd be fun,

just the four of us.

What do you say, Tori?

Well, sure. I guess.

All right.
I'll drive, OK?

OK by me.
We'll take the back seat.

If we go out again,

I drive, or we meet
at the theater.

Guess it was bumpy.

Bumpy? I banged my head so
much, I almost gave you a sunroof.

Whenever I put
my arm around J.B.,

you made a sharp turn
or a sudden stop.

Sorry.

Let's just sit down.

OK. Ahh, man. Ohh!

Slater, what are you doing?

You expect me to watch
the movie standing up?

You're my date. You
should sit with me.

Oh.

Right.

[groan]

[music plays]

You want some popcorn?

No. We've got
our own. Thanks.

Could I have some
popcorn, please?

Would you leave them alone?

My mother told me to
watch over my little sister.

Someone should watch over you.

Just sit back and relax.

[gags]

What's wrong?

Popcorn.
It's stuck.

Oh, no! Somebody
do something!

Come on.
Cough it up.

I better give him a heimlich.

Ow.

You OK?

Oh, I don't know.

I feel really shook up.

Maybe we should take him home.

Oh, no. I'd hate
for you to do that.

OK.
We'll stay.

But maybe it is the best thing.

So Slater wrecked the date?

He is really uptight
about Zack and J.B.

I think he even faked
choking on that popcorn

just so we'd have
to take him home.

- No!
- Yes.

I called him up
and told him off.

I bet he comes in
today feeling bad.

[whistling]

Good morning, everybody.

Come on, Slater.
Cheer up.

[whistling]

So, Slater, I hear you haven't
exactly been playing Cupid.

Lisa, you lovable little gossip,

you've been talking to Tori.

But it doesn't matter.
It's all over.

I guess some couples
just aren't meant to be.

Slater, are you feeling better?

Much better. Thanks.

I'm sorry I ruined your date.

Forget it. There'll
be other dates.

Yeah, and other girls.

No. I mean with J.B.

I asked her to the Sock Hop.

You did?

Yeah.

She's really excited
about seeing us perform.

You already took her out.
You'll be bored.

No. She's really smart,
besides being beautiful.

I like her a lot.

The gossip mill's going
to be grinding on this one.

Call me crazy, but Zack might
become your brother-in-law.

Zachary...

A.C...

Samuel...

I love you.

Eww.

Mr. Belding,
you feeling OK?

Better than ever.

I went to that male
sensitivity seminar,

and I got in touch with my-- my--

my emotional center,

and now it is just
bursting to get out.

If you have to throw
up, use the bathroom!

You don't understand,

but you will.

Today, during your gym class,

we're going to have our
own male bonding group.

So, instead of just
exercising our bodies,

we're going to
exercise our emotions.

Do you have to wear
shorts for that?

Eeeeeyaaaah!

Men, I greet you
with a primal scream.

We need to tap into our
primitive masculine selves.

So we have to dress
like Fred Flintstone?

Come on, Pete.
Light the fire.

Uh, Mr. Belding--

Rule number one --

only the man holding this stick

is allowed to talk.

But you should feel free
to express your emotions,

so share your
feelings with us, Zack.

I think you're nuts, sir.

OK, that's one feeling.

Anyone else want to share?

Oh, come on.

Anything that's bothering you.

Yeah. OK.

I-- I feel burdened
by my vast intelligence.

Good, good.
Now who's next?

I feel the same way.

It's hard being an
intellectual giant.

Right on, brain brother.

Everyone picks on us
and shoves our faces in Jell-o.

It's petty jealousy,
but it hurts.

Excellent.
Confront your pain.

Now who else?

You guys are lucky.

People think you're smart.

Everyone thinks I'm a dumb jock,

even though I know the
capitals of all 48 states.

Wait a minute.

You mean jocks hurt, too?

You don't know the torture.

The bigger we are,
the harder we cry.

Wow. We're
so different,

yet so similar.

I feel strangely close to you.

Come here, you big galoot.

I'll never call you
a dork again.

An emotional bond has been made.

Who's going to share next?

[clears throat]

Slater, how about you?

Nah. Some
other time.

Now's the time, son --

while you're with your friends.

Go ahead, Slater.
Let it out.

You think I'm with
my friends, Mr. B?

I'm not so sure.

I don't think a friend
abuses his friendship.

Oh, I sense anger.

Feel it. Feel.

[all]
Feel! Feel! Feel!

I trusted this friend,

and he went behind my back.

That really burns me up.

[all]
Feel! Feel!

I've had it with this bozo!

I'm so mad at this guy,

I could punch his lights out!

Who is he?

You, slimeball!

Go ahead, take J.B.
to the Sock Hop.

I won't be there.

Wow, this thing really works.

[rattling]

Zack,

don't get me wrong.

I mean, I love being with you,

but you seem a little
out of it tonight.

Is something wrong?

No.

No. I'm fine.

I'm fine.
Really.

And, uh... I love
being with you.

Don't touch my sister.

What is it?

Uh... nothing.

Nothing.

Some friend you are.

What's the matter?
Tell me.

Nothing.

Come on, Zack.

All right. All right.

Slater's really upset
about me going out with you.

Well, it's really
none of his business.

J.B., it's not
that simple.

He's one of my best friends,

and that's why it's
making this really hard.

Maybe it's not going
to work out between us.

Maybe I should take you home.

[starts engine]

Zack, are you serious?

Yeah.

Maybe we shouldn't go to
the Sock Hop together, either.

[blows whistle]

We need to talk.

Huh?

Ohh!

[blows whistle]

Ahh.

You really have a bad
effect on my wrestling.

Zack doesn't want to date
me anymore because of you.

Relax.
That's good news.

Not for me.

You don't know Zack well.

I know I liked him
and you ruined it.

Look, you're my kid sister.

I'm just trying to protect you.

No. You're trying
to run my life.

I'm not a little kid
anymore, understand?

From now on, butt out!

[music playing]

Oh, like, hi, you hip cats.

I hear your group
is short a bass man.

Well, dig this.

♪ Bum bum bum bum ♪

♪ Dang dang dang dang ♪

♪ Yippity yip
a ramalama ding dong ♪

We've decided to perform
without a bass man.

But--

But we'll keep you in mind
for future gigs.

Later, daddy-o.

Hi, Zack.

Hi.

This is a party.
Cheer up.

Yeah.
J.B.'s over there.

Why don't you ask her to dance?

No, I can't.

It would be like
dancing with Slater.

- Huh?
- Trust me.

Speaking of Slater...

I hope he's not here
to cause trouble.

[clears throat]

Are you spying on me?
Don't worry.

Zack hasn't come near me
all night thanks to you.

Come with me.
Please?

Hi, Slater,

J.B.

I've got something
to say to you two.

I'm sorry.

J.B., you're
a big girl now.

You're old enough
to do what you want.

I was wrong to mess things up.

Zack, you're my best buddy,

and if my sister
wants to date you,

she could do worse.

Thanks.

Just watch out at the drive-in.

They don't call him
"steam-up-the-windows Morris" for nothing.

You guys...

Way to express those emotions.

Can you feel it?

Another connection was made.

Feel.

Feel.

- Feel--
- Feel this.

Guys, now that we've
got our bass man back,

let's perform.

All right!
Let's do it!

Whoo!

All right, you crazy cats,

it's to flip your lids!

So here they are, The Five Aces!
