That '70s Show (1998–2006): Season 3, Episode 6 - Eric's Panties - full transcript

While the whole basement bunch meanly joins in with the school-wide ridiculing of poor Kelso, who made a painful fall in the canteen hurting the inside of his soiled trousers, constantly calling him 'Tater Nuts', Eric worries only about Donna's expected jealousy when he is seen in the diner with his lab partner, school slut Shelly, and when Donna is confidently cool about it feels offended, yet Jackie's assurance Eric is too girlish to cheat on her no longer holds when panties are found in Eric's car... Meanwhile Kitty has found out about Red's heart condition and puts him on a strict fat- and fun-less diet, funny for the kids until...

[Grunting]

[Mumbling]

Kelso, what's with the gym shorts?

Oh, something happened.
I had to take my pants off.

Do you shave your legs?

No. It's-
They're just... naturally smooth.

Shut up!

Not to worry, Kelso.
The Puberty Bunny will visit you soon.

So, lab partner...

I guess you and I are gonna be spending
a lot of time together now, huh?

Yeah, Shelly.
And, uh, good thing too...



'cause, you know, I just shouldn't be
alone around a Bunsen burner.

[Laughing]
That is so funny!

Let me go tell my friends
you're driving me home.

Looks like Shelly
has a thing for Forman.

Yes, and Forman
has a thing for Shelly.

And it's in his pants.

Oh, good one, Fez.

Watch. Shelly's gonna invite you over
to her house when her folks aren't home.

That's what slutty girls do.

So, Eric, my parents aren't home.
Let's go to my house.

- [Door Closes]
- Huh. Don't you have a girlfriend?

Yeah. That's what's great about it.

See, maybe Donna will get jealous
and her and Shelly will wrestle over you.

- Kelso, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
- Oh, yeah? Think about it.



- He's mine!
- No, he's mine!

- I had him first!
- You're going down!

Kelso, that's the smartest thing
I've ever heard.

Hangin'out

Down the street

The same old thing

We did last week

Not a thing to do

But talk to you

We're all all right

We're all all right

Hello, Wisconsin.!

[Jukebox: Rock]

Are you sure you don't
want to study at my house?

I mean,
it's just sitting there all empty.

No, come on,
this place was made-

[Shouting]
This- this place was made for studying!

Well, okay.

- Hey, Eric.
- Hey, Shelly, look. It's my girlfriend, Donna.

Hi, girlfriend Donna.

Hi, Donna.

You know, Eric, we'll do this later,
when we can be alone.

To study.
We were just studying.

- Eric, you got to hear this-
- We were just studying, Donna, that's all.

Eric, I'm telling a story here.

Kelso was running through the cafeteria and
there were these mashed potatoes on the floor-

She's just my lab partner!
So, mellow out! God!

Uh-huh. So, Kelso
slips on the potatoes...

slides into a pole with his legs spread,
totally wracks himself.

And everybody starts throwing
their carrots and their cheese at him...

chanting-
"Tater nuts! Tater nuts!"

It was awesome!

So, wait. Even though I'm spending time
with Shelly, you're not jealous?

[Chuckles]
I'm sorry, but you and Shelly?

- What does that mean?
- It means that she can have anyone.

And what does that mean?

- Oh, you're sweet.
- Get off of me!

Well, there's the little patient.

So, how'd it go at the doctor's?

Well, let me put it this way.

If a horse is in good shape,
they say it's healthy as me.

Uh-huh.

And did they say something about
your pants being on fire, liar, liar?

- No.
- I just got off the phone with Dr. Leggett.

He said your blood pressure
is through the roof.

Well, Kitty,
who are you gonna believe?

Some quack doctor or the man who stood by
you while you delivered our children?

Oh, you did not.
You went out for a sub.

Red, from now on, I am going to
make sure you eat right.

No meat, no cheese and no beer.

No beer? You- Ohh!

[Groaning]

Oh, that's it, Kitty. Ohh!

You've killed me.
[Groaning] I see the light.

What's that, Lord? It's okay
to eat meat and beer and cheese?

Okay, I'll- I'll tell her.

What that's, Lord?
Dry toast and oatmeal. Will do.

Man, Donna saw Shelly
practically living in my lap.

How could she not be jealous?

I'm hot.

It's because you are decent, good-hearted
and pure. You know, a sissy.

Forman, I think what we need here
is some input from Tater Nuts.

Tater Nuts, what do you think,
Tater Nuts?

Eric, this-
Hey, stop calling me Tater Nuts!

If Donna's not jealous, I mean,
it means, basically, you're in the free and clear.

She's giving you the okay to cheat.
You gotta cheat!

Hmm. Tater Nuts makes sense.

[Kelso]
Quit it.!

I mean, I could be with Shelly right now,
if I wanted to.

So, why shouldn't I?

Because then you will have two women
when some people have none!

Forget it, Forman.
You're not a cheater.

You know, a wise man once said,
"Know thyself."

That man's name...
was Tater Nuts.

I got to be honest with you, guys.
Okay, l- I do shave my legs.

I just- I just like the way it feels.

No! Come on now!

Hey, Donna. Look, we're not gonna be able
to hang out tonight.

I've got to go to the library with Shelly.

Okay, that's cool. We can just
hang out tomorrow night.

No, yeah, no.

See, yeah, I'm gonna have my hands full
with this Project that's due in a few days...

so I'll be off alone with Shelly.

She doesn't wear a bra, you know.

Yeah, whatever. Bye.

Uh-oh. Farmhand got ahold
of the rich lady.

- [Clears Throat]
- Oh, hi, kids.

Your dad's not really a farmhand.

Yeah. It's just a little intimacy game
we're playing.

- And it's fun!
- Yeah. [Laughing]

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I'm sorry I had to see that.

- Yeah, well, you know, Shelly's waiting for me. So-
- Yeah, Eric, you said that.

Okay, bye.

- He usually gives me a kiss good-bye.
- Yeah. To be honest?

It kinda grosses me out.

Wait, Jackie, should I be worried that
he's spending so much time with Shelly?

Okay, well, normally I'd say yeah,
but Eric would never cheat on you.

I mean, all guys cheat.
But I never really thought of Eric as a guy.

Yeah, he's more like a-
like a really masculine girl.

- Uh-huh.
- Yeah, kind of like you.

Mmm! Lookee, lookee, lookee.
Ribs, corn bread and baked beans.

Come to Papa! Ow!

Ooh, Papa been slapped.

No, now- now that food
is for the kids.

But, here, um, l-I boiled you
some skinless chicken.

Ew! It's gray!

- Laurie!
- I mean, it's gray, yea!

Look, he's already home.

I can't believe
I was so suspicious.

He's such a good guy. I'm gonna write
him a note. A little, "I love you."

[Giggles]

You know, Michael
once wrote me a sexy note.

Except, he can't really spell, so I didn't
know what I was supposed to do to him.

[Gasps]

Oh, my God!

Donna, you should not leave
your panties in your boyfriend's car.

- I didn't.
- Oh.

Oh!

Oh.

- Is this your card?
- No.

- Is this your card?
- No.

- Is this your card?
- No.

Ah, screw you.

Hey, Kelso, I had a dream
about you last night.

- Really?
- Yeah.

We were doing stuff,
and it was all hot and sweaty...

and I just kept calling
your name over and over.

[Inhales]
"Tater Nuts! Tater Nuts!"

[Laughing]

Then what?

Hey, Laurie, I found something in Eric's car
that I think must probably be yours.

Is that-
Oh, good heavens, it is.

I am in the presence of panties.

[Choir Singing]

- [Ends]
- Donna, please. I don't wear pink panties.

Yeah. She'd have to wear panties
to wear pink panties.

Hyde, did you have a girl
in Eric's car?

No. Oh, but I did have
some nachos in there.

And to mess with Forman, I smeared cheese
underneath the seat so it'd really stink.

- Did it stink in there?
- Kind of.

- All right!
- Well, then, whose are they?

Hello? You have not asked me.

Could they not be Fez's panties?

I mean, is that so hard to imagine,
Fez in a car with a woman?

- Whose could they be?
- [Murmuring, Indistinct]

All right, Donna, here.
I'll figure this out.

I like to think of myself
as the Columbo of panties.

Yeah. I'd say we're looking at a woman.

Ages 16 to 38...

with a five-figure income.

She lives within a four-mile radius of here
and is very popular with the gentlemen.

Sure, she is. She'll have sex in a car
that stinks like cheese.

So, what you're saying is,
they could be Shelly's.

Come on.
Forman wouldn't cheat on Donna.

Sure he would. Shelly's a tramp.
No man can turn down a tramp.

Well, let's find out.
Laurie, have you ever been turned down?

Nope.

Oh. Sorry, Donna.

Don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for Eric.
'Cause I'm gonna kill him!

Will somebody please open the door
so I can kill Eric?

Hey, there, Red.

Does Mrs. Forman know you're out here
clogging your arteries with a double cheese?

Yes.

So there would be...
no reason to tell her.

Sorry, Red. I don't think
I could lie to Mrs. Forman.

'Cause I really, really love her.

All right, you blackmailing S.O.B.,
what do you want?

Sure could use some fries.

Here. Now beat it.

You don't have to be rude.

What if this wasn't even the first time?

What if there have been other girls?
Other panties?

Eric, where did these panties come from?

Uh, gee, I don't know.

But there's nothing in the dresser.
Nothing at all.

Okay, but at least my closet is panty-free.
Donna, you have my word.

Okay, Donna, please, ignore the rope
in the middle of the room.

And whatever you do,
don't Pull it.!

Eric, how do you exPlain all this?

Panties!
Glorious panties!

[Laughing]

Bastard!

- Hey, there, Donna. Where are you going?
- To The Hub to kick Eric's ass!

Yeah, well, kick it good.

Jackie, why is Donna
gonna beat up Eric?

Donna found another woman's panties
in the Vista Cruiser.

- [Gasps] Oh, no!
- I know, right. Eric's cheating on her.

Jackie, those panties were mine.

You and Eric?

No! Me and-

Geez, you're dumb.

Now, remember, we can't have the protons
and electrons right next to each other...

because that would
just be madness.

Madness, I say!

Oh, Eric Forman, you are just
the funniest person I've ever met.

No, I wouldn't go as-
Yes. Yes, I am.

Doesn't your girlfriend mind
you spending so much time with me?

Well, no.
Apparently, she's thrilled about it.

Well, she's crazy.

'Cause if I was your girlfriend,
I would want to kiss you all the time.

Really?

Whoa! Hey, come on, lady!
I'm spoken for!

Wow!

Hey, did we miss anything?

What? God, no.
You didn't miss anything.

All right, people! Let's back up!
Give 'em some room here!

Hey, Donna, hi, hello.

Don't "Hey, Donna, hi, hello" me.

I trusted you,
and you cheated on me with this slut.

- Uh, Donna, I don't-
- Excuse me?

Yeah, I said it.
You want some of this? Come on!

- Donna, hey, whatever you think happened-
- I know what happened.

- I found these in your car.
- Panties?

Aha! So he admits they are panties.

Hey, next time you fool around
with someone else's boyfriend...

why don't you take your panties
when you're done?

Those aren't mine.
Mine are white. And cotton.

With a little pink rose in the front.

So these are some
other girl's panties?

Whoa, whoa! No offense, Donna,
but, dude, you're on fire!

You know what, Eric?
I don't need this.

Oh, and by the way,
your car smells like cheese.

Donna, look, you have to believe me.
I have no idea whose panties those are.

Donna, those panties are mine.

Eric! Ohh! Ohh!

You are a god!

A god, I say!

Um...
[Clears Throat] Mom...

why were your panties
in the Vista Cruiser?

And please be as specific.

Donna, when you've been together
as long as your father and I have...

you need to do creative things
in creative places.

- Ew!
- Ohh! Gads!

Psst. Daddy, here.

Red, you eating again? I thought
you'd be full after that burger.

- Burger?
- Yeah. The broccoli burger.

Oh, you are lying!

Well, come on, Kitty.

This isn't food.
This is what food eats.

Well, but it's good for you.

Well, if it's so good, how come
I'm the only one that has to eat it?

Good point.

Hey, he's the food sneaker!

- Eat up!
- You wanna mess with me again?
You just come on back.

- Say it again.
- I already said it.

- Come on, one more time.
- You're hot.

[Chuckles]

- Hot enough to get Shelly?
- Hot enough to get Shelly.

- Hot enough to get any girl I want?
- Hot enough to get Shelly.

Yeah. That's just good stuff.

You know, Eric, you don't have to rub it in.
I know I made an ass out of myself.

Well, you know what?
That's what you get for taking me for granted.

'Cause, Donna, I may be skinny, but-

Yeah, I'm MickJagger skinny and that's
very in right now. Yeah, it's very hot.

Eric, I know you're hot,
'cause you're with me.

Okay. So, what have
we learned from all this?

- Always lock the doors to the Vista Cruiser.
- Right you are.

Man, Bob and Midge
must really hate me.

'Cause right after having sex in my car,
I think they smeared cheese under the seat.

That's just mean.

There. Okay, I think it's safe
for human occupancy again.

Uh-oh.

Looks like Bob left something
in the car too.

Eric, you must sell this car.

Or call a priest.
