That '70s Show (1998–2006): Season 1, Episode 10 - Sunday, Bloody Sunday - full transcript

Red's mother visits the Forman's. After going to church (it's Sunday), Red lies about repairing stuff around the house just to avoid spending time with his mother. Recently stopped with smoking, Kitty desperately tries her best not to be hateful to Red's hypercritical mother but could really use a smoke and Eric tries to keep them all together like a happy family while he also has a report due the next day. The only one to get along with Red's mother is Fez.

Damn!

Kelso misses another one.

I believe that's H-O-R.

You are a whore.

No, the game is Horse.

Okay. You know what, Michael?
I'm gonna go home.

I'm gonna do my homework.

You do your homework
on a Saturday night?

Yeah.

Look, I mean, look at me.

I've got a 1,000-word
term paper due Monday...



but you don't see me sweating.

- I've got a whole crappy Sunday to do it.
- Jackie, don't go home.

I mean, Steve Martin's hosting
Saturday Night.

I hate that show, okay?

They have commercials that you think
are real but they're not real.

And then you wanna buy the stuff.

Okay. See you, Michael.

Bye! Bye-bye!
Shut up.

Kelso, Jackie does her homework
on Saturday night.

That's so hip.

You guys don't have to worry
about Jackie anymore...

'cause I'm breaking up with her.

We are so tired of hearing you say that.

No. I am. I'm breaking up with her.



Yeah, when?

I'm picking my moment.

Where's Fez?

Make that shot, whore.

Hanging out

Down the street

The same old thing

We did last week

Not a thing to do

But talk to you

Whoa, yeah.

Hello, Wisconsin!

Now, aren't the waffles
extra delicious this wonderful morning?

Did you quit smoking again?

And why do you ask, little one?

You're talking like Snow White,
so I figured...

Eric!

Which is great, I really want you to quit.

I should've quit a long time ago.

I'm a nurse. I know better. More sausage?

I'll get it.

Hello?

That's too bad.

Sure. Be glad to.

Yeah. See you soon. Goodbye.

- Who was that, dear?
- My mother.

Seems like...

Uncle Paul broke his ankle...

and she's going to church with us today.

No, she's not.

- It's Paul's turn to take her.
- Like I said, he broke his ankle.

Broken ankle, whatever. It's his turn.

- Kitty, the man is injured.
- Okay. That is just great.

I will just take a chicken
out of the freezer...

because queen Bernice...

doesn't like ham.

Okay, look, I'll just call her
and tell her we can't make it.

Red. You know who'll get blamed for that.

Why should she blame you?
She's my mother.

Something she never lets me forget.

Look, you could tell her
I'm sick or something.

Eric, go upstairs...

and put on that shirt
your grandmother gave you.

Eric, just stay there.
Your mother is just being ridiculous.

You know what's ridiculous, is
giving your mother our phone number.

- What's being ridiculous is...
- Hold it.

Hold it. Now, look...

let's just stay calm.

Mom, if it'll help you out,
I'll hang out with Grandma...

so she'll leave you alone.

What do you say?

First of all, Eric,
I'm the one who says "hold it."

When you pay the bills,
you get to say "hold it."

Now get in the car,
'cause we're going to church...

and we're gonna have a damn nice Sunday.

You're damn right. Just try and stop me.

Damn.

Here she comes.

God, Red, I don't think I can do this.

- Kitty, do us all a favor and light up.
- I'm fine.

Careful, Grandma.

It's just my dress.

It's nice to see you, Bernice.

I hate this car.
You know, I just hate this car.

Your brother Jerry has a beautiful car.
A Lincoln.

But then, he makes more money,
a lot more money than you do.

All righty, then.

So, Kitty, Eric tells me
that you quit smoking.

Yes, I did quit. And I just... I feel great.

Good for you, dear.

In the name of the Father,
the Son and the Holy Ghost. Amen.

Please stand for a moment
of silent meditation.

Dear God. Thank you so much
for helping me quit...

such a filthy, disgusting...

soothing, delicious habit.

God, I can't do this. No, I'm fine. Amen.

Dear God...

what's with all the Polacks?

Dear God.

I don't mean to bother you
on your day off...

but I promised to help out with Grandma
and I have a term paper due tomorrow.

If you could either
get her to leave early today...

or burn down the school tomorrow.

I mean, either or, God's choice.

It'd really help me out, man.
God. Lord. Amen.

Dear Lord.

Would it kill you to give the Packers
a winning season? Amen.

And watch over my loving family
blah, blah, blah.

Welcome to
Worship for Shutins.

Change it.

All right, change that.

- How did we change channels before Fez?
- I don't think we did.

- You guys, I gotta work on my term paper.
- Where's Grandma?

She's in the bathroom, so I've got, like,
20 minutes, half hour tops.

- What's the assignment?
- All right.

"In 1,000 words describe
the three branches...

"of the United States government
and their functions."

I'll never make it.

Go up and tell them
you have homework to do.

No, I wanna keep peace in the family.

Yeah, Donna, Forman wants
the Hallmark card family.

- The what?
- You know, Grandma comes over.

To my mother-in-law
on this beautiful Sunday.

Your smiling face...

your kind embrace
has made my home a happy place.

And I'm so happy you're the one...

to whom I gave my loving son.

And I'm so happy
you're both happy...

'cause otherwise life would be crappy.

I don't want that.

Yeah, you do. I can see it
in those wide, hopeful eyes.

But the reality is this:

To my daughter-in-law,
you took my son.

You wrecked my life.

You stole my youth.

You hate my wife.

I do my best.

Now, that's a joke.

I'm going out.

I need a smoke.

Damn it, Eric!

Quit hiding from your grandmother.
She's old, she could die. Now, move it!

I thought she was in the bathroom.
False alarm.

Look, go take care of your grandmother.
We can do this.

Thanks.

- All right, how many words does he have?
- His name, the date, the class.

Seven.

- He's screwed.
- Use his middle name.

See? Now, this would never happen to me.

That is why I do my homework
on Saturday.

This is a moment, Kelso. Pick it.

I think you all could learn something
from me right now.

Moment number two.

All right. Jackie, we need to talk.

You know what?

I did the same paper last year in history.
I think I got an "A."

You want me to go home and get it?

- Let me think. Yeah!
- Hold on, Donna.

Jackie, we need to talk about this whole...

Jackie, why don't you go ahead?

Okay.

Do not break up with her yet,
you understand me?

Say you understand me.

All this time I thought
you didn't like Jackie.

Just don't break up with her yet.

Okay.

What do I need Jackie for, man? I know
more about this stuff than she does.

The three true branches of the government
are military, corporate, and Hollywood.

I need a pencil. I got it.

Jackie, run!

Love!

I hope you're hungry.
Yup, the chicken will be done soon.

I can't eat chicken.
You know I have an irritable bowel.

You should have made a ham.

Boy, Grandma...

that was a great service this morning.
Don't you think?

I think the pastor talked too much
about forgiveness.

Some people shouldn't be forgiven.

This is why theology is such a rich...

You know, Bernice,
some people don't need forgiveness...

they just need a little understanding.

Too true. Have you seen Godspell?

You know, what I don't understand...

is how in hell a brilliant young man,
like my Red...

could have thrown away everything.

Grandma! Why don't we go into the
living room and I'll rub your feet.

What a wonderful boy.
Look at how thin you are.

Is your mother
feeding you enough?

You should come
and live with me.

No.

I was just on my way to the garage.

To fix this.

Dad, just watch your game.

No, it's just the Packers.

- Eric, where've you been hiding?
- I've been doing some homework.

That's important.

Yeah. You know, actually,
it's a really interesting...

Eric, a little less talk
and a little more rubbing.

You're the only one who's not afraid
of my bunion.

Oh, dear.

Good-bye, Eric, I am going home now.

No, wait, Fez, you haven't met Grandma.

Hello, Grandma.

In my village, we worship feet.

And these dogs are a holy treasure.

- You wanna rub them?
- May I?

Knock yourself out.

Hey, Dad.

Damn it, Eric!

Don't sneak up on a person like that
when they're doing this.

How's it going in there?

- I rubbed her feet.
- Now, you're a brave one.

Better get back in there.

Dad, you coming back inside?

Eric...

I love your grandmother very, very much.

I just can't talk to her
or spend any time with her.

Did I mention that I'm in there
rubbing her feet?

You know, son...

sometimes you've just gotta
play through the pain.

What?

- I don't know. Just get back in there.
- Yeah, right.

"With their sugar-coated ideals...

"designed to anesthetize
the ignorant masses.

"Why? So that the military
slash corporate branches...

"can carry out world domination."

All right, read that back to me.

Okay.

- You didn't get that?
- All right, let's just use the encyclopedia.

You just want to vomit up facts
from an encyclopedia?

- Yes.
- Okay, fine. You know what? Vomit away.

I will not be a part of this, then.

Eric, are you down here?

He's not down here, Mrs. Forman.

Donna, good, why don't you come up
and eat with us?

I need all the help I can get. Not
you, Steven. Grandma doesn't like you.

Lucky bastard.

What am I supposed to eat?

You know, help yourself to the deep freeze.

But everything's frozen.

And I have a dryer.

Honey, these cheesy potatoes
are delicious.

Thank you, honey.

They really are great, Mrs. Forman.

We have them whenever Grandma
comes over...

'cause mom knows how much
she loves them. Right, Grandma?

They make me sick.

I'm allergic to dairy.

How sad.

Ma, this is Wisconsin.
You're not allergic to dairy.

Maybe she's just allergic to my dairy.

If you're allergic to dairy you
shouldn't put cream in your coffee.

- I mean, cream is dairy.
- Donna, just, no, okay?

You shut up, Eric! Who the hell are you?

Grandma, that's Donna,
you've known her for 16 years.

I have not.
Anyway, I like your new friend better.

The feeling is mutual.

Done.

I heard a noise in the garage.

Raccoons.

Bye.

I couldn't eat another bite.

I've had enough.

I'm going back downstairs. Excuse me.

So, what say we watch
Lawrence Welk, Grandma?

No, I'm going to watch Lawrence Welk
with my new friend.

You up for another foot rub, Desi?

Fry time.

- Hot! Hot!
- What are you doing?

Just working on your report here,
and having some fries.

Wait, you put French fries
in my mom's dryer?

Yeah, the fish sticks
are too flaky, so I just...

I don't even need to...

Finally.
Where have you guys been?

We had to look for the paper, and eat...

and then some stuff happened, you know.

- Your shirt's on inside out.
- Yeah, that's the stuff.

- Where's the paper?
- Right. Okay, see?

It wasn't on the three branches
of the government...

it was on the four food groups.

Okay, look, my dad's got the World Books.
I'll just run next door and get "G."

I'll go with you.

You can break up with her now.

You know, I'm tired of everybody
trying to tear me and Jackie apart.

Moron, every day you say
you're breaking up with her.

You guys don't know her like I do.

I mean, it's not just about fooling around.

She buys me stuff.

She hoovered your chest, man.

You know what?

I don't care anymore.

All I wanted was a little help with
my paper and you've done nothing!

We put your middle name in.

Jean-Claude?

That's two words.

You guys suck.

Just thank God for Donna.

Okay, bad news, my mom sold
some out at the garage sale.

But we have "B," "X," and "R."

All right.

Now, you listen up.
I have had an extremely stressful day.

And I am not proud
of what I'm about to say...

but someone give me a cigarette!

Now!

But, Mom, we don't smoke.

Cut the crap, Eric. I am a nurse.

I know that one in five teenagers smoke.
One, two, three, four, five.

Now, I'm going to close my eyes,
and when I open them...

there had better be
a cigarette between these two fingers.

Come on, people. Hop to!

Thank you.

Light?

Kitty.

There you are, Red.

Ma says the cat bit her,
so I'm down here looking for it.

Dad, we don't have a cat.

That's what I thought.

You know, we really...

We shouldn't leave
your poor little foreign friend...

up there alone with Grandma.

It's really kind of nice down here.

Thank you for a wonderful dinner.

- You are so very welcome.
- I hope I wasn't any bother.

Ma, you're no bother.
You're as welcome as...

flowers in May.

Bernice, here, I wrapped up some
chicken for you to take home.

Thank you, dear.

And I hope you put some of those
cheesy potatoes in there.

You know how much I love them.

What?

I thought you made such a big deal
about how you were allergic to...

Eric!

This has been a perfectly nice Sunday.
Let's not spoil it.

Sweetheart...

I hope I didn't make too big a deal
about my allergy.

No, Ma, he's a kid.

He overreacts.

You know, this is the cutest little car.

I just love it.

Eight hundred and twenty-five,
eight hundred and twenty-six...

Eric, what are you doing?
It's 1:00 in the morning.

I'm just finishing up some homework.

What are you doing down here?

Snow White came down to gun a stick.

Look, Mom, I wish you wouldn't smoke.

I know. This is my last one. I promise.

By the way...

thanks for your help
with your grandma today.

Can I ask you a question?

What does she have against you, Mom?

Well...

About 25 years ago,
your father was dating...

this very attractive, well-to-do woman
that your grandma liked...

and he married me instead.

And she never forgave me.

That bitch.

Now, who was the lady
with the cotton-candy dress?

That's Norma Zimmer, the champagne lady.

She is very talented.

And you see those two dancing?
That's Bobby and Sissy.

I like his tight pants, but she's a slut.

You know, I have seen this show before.

But the band leader's voice
was much more masculine.

Bubbles!
