That '70s Show (1998–2006): Season 1, Episode 16 - First Date - full transcript
Eric and Donna go on a Valentine's date, despite the fact Donna promised Hyde to go study in the library that evening. Hyde knows Eric wants to give Donna his class ring and realizes now's his last change to tell Donna how he feels about her and he goes to the restaurant. Meanwhile, Kitty, Red, Bob and Midge eat fondue. Kelso hopes to do it again with Jackie while she just wants to buy clogs.
Get off me, you moose.
Eric, I didn't see you sitting there.
You should really work on bulking up.
Maybe you should
really work on bulking up.
What are you watching?
Gilligan is on.
- What are you doing in the floor?
- Yeah. Why don't you guys get a room?
We have a room, Hyde.
It's called my basement.
I'm going home.
Bye, guys.
Donna, don't forget. I'll see
you tomorrow night at the library.
- Yeah, right.
- I'll walk you home.
- She lives right next door.
- Yeah.
Donna, about tomorrow night.
I was thinking that
maybe you and I could go out to dinner.
- For Valentine's Day?
- Hyde asked me to study at the library.
I mean, you can do that anytime, right?
Yeah, I'd love to go.
That's great.
So then it's a date.
Our first.
Yeah, if you don't count
all the times I mauled you.
Yeah. Which I don't. So...
Hey, guys.
So, what's going on?
I'll talk to you guys later.
So, Eric...
what were you and Donna
talking all hot and heavy about?
Your hair.
Really?
No.
We're going out to dinner tomorrow
night. For Valentine's Day.
No.
Donna and I are going to the library
to study tomorrow night.
On Valentine's Day?
Who studies on Valentine's Day?
I didn't know it was Valentine's Day
when I made the date.
To study.
I'm sure she just forgot about you.
We just talked about it a minute ago.
Women. You know, I mean...
Anyway, I'm gonna give Donna
my class ring.
No, forget rings.
You wanna score with Donna,
use my super funk eight-track.
Anyway, I figure it's time
to make it official.
She's just been waiting for any jerk
to swoop down on her.
And you're that jerk.
Better me than some other jerk.
Why are you looking at me?
Hyde is the other jerk.
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!
So, if Eric and Donna
are going out Saturday night...
that means we have no wheels.
I can borrow my dad's car.
It's a Lincoln. Leather.
You know what we should do?
We should ditch Hyde and Fez
and make out in the backseat.
You said that out loud.
Yeah, I don't care.
Yeah, I know.
We can go shopping for clogs.
Pick me up at 7:00.
Have fun, man. I'm out.
We won't be shopping.
We'll be doing it. Again.
'Cause that's what we do. We do it!
Then I'm in.
No, you're not invited, Fez.
Then I'm out.
Yeah. Well, later.
It looks like
it's just you and me, little buddy.
Yeah, Fez.
Which is really wrong, man...
'cause I had plans with Donna.
Until Forman snaked me.
Who would have thought she would
rather go to a nice restaurant...
than a smelly, old library?
You will laugh later.
So, let me see.
Go ahead, show your mother.
Oh, my gosh, that is snazzy.
That is a snazzy jacket.
Damn good thing I went with him.
He wanted to buy a leisure suit.
Come on, Dad. Leisure suits are cool.
Everybody wears them.
Leisure suits are for dumbasses.
Believe me.
Hey, there, Eric.
Looking sharp for your big date?
Who knew our two little tykes
would grow up to be dating.
Oh, no. I have an idea.
Let's have dinner tomorrow night.
Just the parents.
I'll fondue.
Yeah.
And that'll give us a chance
to talk about their future.
Right. We can plan a big wedding.
I know you're joking.
But could you please stop? Please?
You know, I've...
You can borrow our car.
Girls love corsages.
They got a fried onion brick
at The Vineyard, right?
I don't believe you, Michael.
What?
You can't just maul me
in front of my father.
I bet he didn't even notice.
He yelled at you to stop it.
I thought he was talking to you.
Okay. Michael, we have a problem.
Ever since we...
Did it?
Can you please use a more beautiful term?
Like what?
Like, proved our love.
Yeah. But "did it" sounds so much cooler.
Okay, just take me to the mall.
We're not really going shopping, are we?
Yes, I need clogs.
Oh.
God darn! That is a snazzy jacket.
Yes, sir. Brown is your color.
Thanks, Dad. No, Mom.
Let me tell you something,
order the dinner.
A la carte's a sucker's bet. And remember...
pull the chair out for her.
The small fork is for the salad.
And this jacket's gotta last you
all the way through college...
so don't spill any crap on it.
Here you go. Have fun.
Yeah.
- Shall we?
- Good God, yes.
Smile.
Now, if she gets to do it,
I get to do it.
Kitty, he's leaving.
Talk about pressure.
Yeah, I mean, this is a huge deal.
To our parents.
So what do you wanna do?
I don't know, man.
What do you want to do?
Let's go to The Hub.
I've got my eye on this plump girl.
Sounds good, man, but I'll pass.
Poor Hyde.
What?
You love Donna,
and she's with your good friend Eric.
And?
And that's the oldest story in the world.
And a sad one at that.
You know what, man?
I had a chance, and I didn't take it.
And once Forman gives her that
ring, man, they're going out.
And it would be really scummy
to hit on her then.
Not that I wouldn't do it.
It'd just be really scummy.
If you don't tell Donna how you feel,
then you will regret it.
I'm going to The Vineyard.
Good for you.
Just don't tell Eric what I said
because I really like his basement.
This is quite a menu.
Yeah.
You got enough money?
Yeah, for me.
I'm sorry.
Were you gonna eat something, too?
Actually, I'm in the mood for chicken.
What a coincidence.
I, too, am ordering
the cheapest thing on the menu.
You look really nice tonight.
So do you.
Look, Donna...
Hello!
Can I start you folks off with drinks?
Sure...
I'll have a beer.
All right.
I'd like an iced tea.
- He didn't even proof me.
- It must be the jacket.
- Or my sideburns.
- What sideburns?
These sideburns, right.
You know, I don't know
why they call it fondue.
They should call it fundue. 'Cause it is fun.
I love fondue. It's gourmet.
- So, what do we do here, Kitty?
- Okay, now. What you do is...
you put a piece of steak
on your fondue fork.
- Now, how hot exactly is the...
- No, Bob. That's a fondon't.
Don't put your hand in the hot oil.
Who knew you couldn't
put your hand in the hot oil?
Here, chicken, chicken.
Donna, please.
Sorry.
- Are you okay?
- I am great.
I think you're drunk.
I think I am, too.
How could I be drunk?
There's about five shots of alcohol
in a Long Island Iced Tea.
- Long Island Iced Tea?
- Yeah, you guys ordered drinks.
- I'm ready for another one.
- Nope, she's good.
Thanks. Thank you.
I love your little butt, Eric.
It's so little.
Okay.
And you're so good, Eric.
You're so darn good.
- I think it's coffee time.
- You're so good, it makes me hot.
Or time for another Iced Tea maybe.
Sing to me, Eric.
No, I don't think...
Sing me a song.
I don't really...
Do it or I'll scream!
Move it in, move it out
Shove it in, shove it out
Disco lady
Move it in, move it out
Shove it in, all about
Well, Jackie. It's now 9:00.
Which means that every shoe store...
in the greater Oshkosh area
is closed for the night.
So, what do you want to do now?
Let's go look at the new Corvettes.
Yeah.
I mean...
No, that just sounds boring.
What do you wanna do?
No, I don't know.
Wait. You know what we could do?
We could...
Prove our love to each other again.
No, Michael. We are not going to...
Prove our love,
every single time we have a chance.
Why not?
Because it doesn't work like that.
And just because we did it once...
does not mean
we're ever gonna do it again.
Okay, now you're just talking crazy!
No, Michael. No, I am not.
If you think that's how it's gonna work,
then you're wrong.
Damn, Jackie.
So I spent all night
looking for your stupid shoes...
- and we're not even gonna...
- No.
Fine.
Are you sure you're okay with that?
Yeah.
Okay, let's do it.
- Crap.
- Ouch!
- Damn!
- Ow!
Geez!
My eye!
God. It's so crowded in here.
Eric, meet me under the table.
Donna, no. Look, no.
Look, Donna, come on.
Waiter?
Okay. I'm gonna go get you some coffee.
So, no going under the table,
and no singing.
I'll be right back.
People, the chicken here is excellent.
Hyde's here.
Hi, Hyde.
Hey, Donna.
Where's Forman?
Coffee.
Okay, look.
I'm just going to say this, all right?
Donna, I have feelings for you.
And I think that you have feelings for me.
And Forman's gonna give you his ring.
And I hope that before you take it,
you think about...
Beep!
Eric. Hyde's here.
We're on a date here.
Yeah, man. You shouldn't be...
because we were supposed to be
at the library.
Hyde, if she wanted to be at the library,
she'd be at the library.
Oh, my God.
Wait. What do you mean by "Oh, my God"?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Look, when my date's done puking...
you better not be here.
Excuse me. Hi.
Could I get this in a doggie bag, please?
Thanks. And I'm in a hurry.
Now...
I feel so close to you, Michael.
Michael and Jackie. Jackie and Michael.
Doesn't that sound good?
Michael and Jackie.
True love, always, forever.
- Forever?
- Forever.
Dances, long walks...
candles, flowers.
Babies, house.
Shackle, chain...
despair, prison, death.
"Jonathan Seagull discovered...
"that boredom, fear, and anger...
"are the reasons a gull's life is so short.
"And with this gone from his thought...
"he lived a long, fine life indeed."
Bravo!
Isn't she a hot tomato?
To the lovemaking.
We had a wonderful time.
My God!
Okay, they're gone.
They used to be normal.
- What the hell happened to them?
- I don't know.
How can she not eat meat?
That can't be healthy.
Remember when
we used to go on vacation together?
Bob and I used to go fishing
and drink beers.
- I mean, we used to have fun with them.
- Now they're into every fad there is.
- Things change, Kitty.
- We don't.
We don't have to.
We're classic.
You know...
Midge wasn't wearing a bra tonight.
Yeah.
Bob wasn't wearing underwear.
Thanks for holding my hair when I was...
Just thanks for missing my shoes.
- I guess I blew our big night.
- No.
Look, it's cool.
I thought I was gonna blow it...
and then, I mean, you totally blew it.
So that's great.
You know, by telling me I blew it,
you basically just blew it. So...
And I was doing so good here
with the jacket and the coffee...
and holding your hair back.
I was so in.
You're still in.
Look, Donna, I want to be your boyfriend.
And you're all I ever think about.
Will you wear my class ring?
- Yes.
- Yes?
You know, why don't we kiss on it later?
Right. The vomit.
No, wait. You know what? I don't care.
You're my girlfriend.
So, Forman, man...
I'm sorry about tonight with Donna.
And for taking your dinner.
So, are we cool, man?
Yeah, man. We've gotta be.
Look, we've been friends
since kindergarten.
No girl's gonna come between us.
That's great, man.
So...
if Donna ever breaks up with you...
and starts dating me, are we still friends?
No.
Tonight, I learned there's a
price to be paid for doing it.
She said, "forever," man.
And I think she meant it.
The inside of my mouth feels like
cotton. As if cotton was in my mouth.
Kelso, man, women are like muffins, okay?
And once you've had a muffin, man...
you will put up with anything
to have another muffin.
And they know that.
Now she really owns you, man.
Hyde, you sure know a lot about women.
But, I mean, you've never
really had a steady girlfriend.
So, what's that all about?
I'll tell you what that's all
about, Forman. My mind is pure, man.
I don't fall victim to the female race.
I'm here, sans girlfriend,
to help you guys out.
Then I have a question, Hyde.
How much masturbation is too much?
No such thing as too much, Fez.
How'd it go?
It was great.
Mom.
Gotcha.
Anybody mention how nice
that sport coat was?
Donna.
There you go. So, you had fun?
Yeah, Dad. Thanks.
You know, you got a chunk of carrot
on your shoe there?
Yeah, Dad. Thanks.

But, I mean, you've never
really had a steady girlfriend.
So, what's that all about?
I'll tell you what that's all
about, Forman. My mind is pure, man.
I don't fall victim to the female race.
I'm here, sans girlfriend,
to help you guys out.
Then I have a question, Hyde.
How much masturbation is too much?
No such thing as too much, Fez.
How'd it go?
It was great.
Mom.
Gotcha.
Anybody mention how nice
that sport coat was?
Donna.
There you go. So, you had fun?
Yeah, Dad. Thanks.
You know, you got a chunk of carrot
on your shoe there?
Yeah, Dad. Thanks.
