You know, I tell you.

What's that?

Until you walked into that diner, I hated my job.

Yeah?

People yelling, grease flying, and now I'm here.

And I can forget about being a waitress.

More coffee?

Oh, yeah.

No tip?

Later.

You know, I tell you.

Fonzie, you're such a wonderful guy.

Thank you.

You don't need to tell stories to get girls.

What are you talking about stories?

Well, how can you be a teacher and own a
garage and a restaurant?

Yeah, but I am all those things.

I'm also a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

Well, how do you do all that stuff?

I budget my time and have a very good breakfast.

Come here.

But, Fonz.

What's that?

If you have all those jobs, why would you
be living over a garage?

Very simply, I live over my family and like your lips.

It is a lovely neighborhood.

Here's a feature you don't often find.

Excuse me.

Fonzie.

Yeah?

Two women just walked in.

Oh, that always happens.

I don't know you.

Uh, Joyce James, Timely Real Estate.

You must be the tenant.

The tenny.

This is Mrs. Watson.

She may be buying the house.

Now, this room over the garage...
could be used as a sewing nook.

Or, with a little work, someone could actually live here.

All right, hold it.

Let's back that right up, okay, and start again.

Not you, sweetheart.

You.

What are you talking about, she's gonna buy this place?

This happens to be the Cunningham residence.

Well, yes, it is, but, um, they're selling.

Oh, you didn't know.

No, no, no.

There must be some very big mistake here.

A, uh, grande blunder, you know what I'm talking about.

She's touching my things.

Uh, Mrs. Watson, don't touch his things.

Well, there's no mistake, um, they want to sell the house.

It was something about Mr. Cunningham's business.

This could mean he's broke, all right,
you stay right here, I'll be right back.

Would you like to see a menu?

You're home!

No time for home.

Mr. C., why didn't you tell me you needed money?

I would have sold my body to science.

What are you talking about?

I don't need any money.

Then why is there a woman up in my apartment
who wants to sell the roof out from under you?

Arthur, we have a wonderful surprise.

You do, surprise, I work well with surprises.

Okay, let me hear it.

While you were away, Arthur, Howard went
to a metric conversion seminar,

and he met a Mr. Farquhar who was
president of Top Value Hardware.

Oh, yeah, Top Value Hardware, I know that,
the commercials with the dancing swords, right?

I'm part.

It's never rust.

Yeah, yeah, isn't that the greatest shingle, huh?

Oh, it's okay.

Well, anyway, Mr. Farquhar thought that Howard is just the

man he was looking for for
vice president of his entire chain.

You cute little executive, yeah.

Oh, stop it, Terry.

You're going to sell this house because you're moving up.

You're going to fish the heights up on the hill.

I can see it now, huh?

Well, actually, Arthur, Mr. Farquhar wants
Howard to work in the home office in Milwaukee.

In New York?

You're going to commute.

Don't you worry.

I will take care of Mr. C while you're gone, right?

Now, Fonzie, you don't understand.

If I take this job, we're going to move to New York.

You are moving to New York?

You are moving to New York?

You're both going together to New York?

Water.

Look, Fonz, I know this comes as a big shock to you.

We couldn't tell you any sooner because
you were out of town.

But you don't understand.

You can't leave.

I mean, you being here is like fuzz on a peach.

Arthur, I know what you mean.

I felt the same way.

And then I thought, why should we be like this?

The children are grown, and Howard's on
his way to making some major dollars.

It's a wonderful opportunity for him.

And not only that, the Lodge headquarters is in New York.

And that's the place where they've got the
Leopard National Cemetery.

Wow.

Yeah, but look.

You can't leave Joanie.

Hey, Joanie, come on down here.

I can't.

You will.

I will.

Yeah.

Joanie, do you understand that your parents
are leaving you and they are going to New York?

Yeah.

Come back here.

How do you feel about that?

Fine.

Get back here.

Well, of course I was upset at first,
but then I saw how excited they were,

and I knew this would be the best thing in
the world for them.

And I'll have a place of my own.

Okay?

What does she know?

She can't even dress.

Well, let me ask you a question, all right?

I mean, is this, like, already decided,
completed, finished?

Do you have the tickets and everything?

No, Fonzie.

We're just thinking about... Thinking about...

Yeah, we told the real estate lady it was definite, just
because Howard says it makes the bums work harder.

Great.

It's great news for you.

Well, it's great news for you, too.

Why?

Because now you've got a chance to go out
and find a place of your own.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's very, very exciting.

Yeah, no, no, I mean, tomorrow I'm going
to go out and look for a place of my own.

I'm starting tomorrow.

Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham, could I see you
in the living room?

Could I see you in the backyard for a minute?

Oh, come in.

I think we've got a live one.

Oh, excuse us, Arthur.

Oh, and Howard, just so you'll know, I have no
intention of being buried in the Leopard National Cemetery.

It's okay, Marion.

They don't allow wives anyway.

They're moving.

I'm moving.

Joanie's moving.

Why is everybody deserting me?

Hey, Joe Fonzie, what are you two doing
here in the only place I can still call my own?

Well, Fonzie, I think I have the answer to
all your problems.

I doubt it.

Why don't you move in with me?

You know what, all right, I really don't think so, Roger.

Why?

Well, because I'm a very quirky guy.

I don't know if you could live with my quirks.

No, no, Fonzie, I'm the kind of guy who loves quirks.

All right, what are yours?

Well, I'd probably k*ll you.

Oh.

You know, and then you'd be dead and I'd be unhappy.

It'd put a strain on me.

It'd put a strain on a relation, yeah.

You know where I'd go if I had the bucks?

To a barbershop.

I'd go to Kahuna Village, where the fun never sets.

Yeah, Kahuna Village, huh?

That's a hot singles place, isn't it, huh?

If I picture this, girls, Saturday night luau's, girls.

I don't want to go there.

I am not interested.

All right, if you don't like it,
you can always move in with me.

This place is looking better and better every second.

You get everything here, Mr. Fonzarelli.

Your kitchen, your bedroom, your waterfall.

Oh, Mr. Turtle tongue.

Yes, Anne?

Is he going to be moving in?

Well, we're still deciding.

Well, maybe this will help you decide.

If he doesn't move in, we're moving out.

Right, girls?

Right!

Oh, come on, man.

You look so upset.

Yeah, the one in the back is my wife.

Oh.

I'll tell you what.

Huh?

I'll make a deal with you, okay?

A deal, huh?

Yeah.

Okay, look.

I don't have to check your references.

And the first two months' rent are free.

See, now you're talking sense.

I can relax now.

I'll sit down.

All right.

I knew I'd get you.

Don't touch me.

Did we get past the sunbathing class?

Yes, Mary, you can take your hands off.

Jeez.

All right.

I know exactly what's going on.

You're not selling the house, and you're
going to beg me to come back.

No, no.

Chachi said you needed references.

So we came over to help you get the place.

I see.

Are you the landlord?

You got it, sweetheart.

Stay close, Howard.

Now, Arthur is a wonderful tenant.

He can fix just anything.

Mary, I don't believe this.

I mean, you want somebody out, you really want them out.

What are you talking about?

I mean, it's really going to hurt you if I spend
one more night sleeping over your student baker.

Fonzie.

Oh, no.

No, no, you cut the cord.

You really cut the cord.

I'll tell you something there, turtle towel.

I don't need references, right?

No way.

Okay.

Then I'm going to sign a lease.

Let's get out of here.

Fonzie, will you listen to me?

Oh, no, no.

I don't want to talk about it no more.

You understand?

Hey, turtleneck, take me to your office.

Why is Arthur so upset?

I don't know, Marion.

I'll tell you one thing.

I think we've not only lost a tenant, we've lost a friend.

Oh.

Hey, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy, James.

We've been together a long time, huh?

Now we're moving on.

Here, take a last look around.

I'll tell you something.

I think you're really going to enjoy where we're going.

You know what they got?

They got tiki torches and palm trees and everything.

You know, girls, lots of girls for you.

They call it, um, koki, uh, ki, um, kiki, uh, Hawaii.

Yo.

Hey, guys, how you doing?

Hi, taking Jimmy with you, huh?

Jimmy?

Yeah.

His friends call him Jimmy.

He's James.

Don't you understand?

I revere this poster.

I love this poster.

You watch how you talk about it, all right?

You need a hand here?

You got two boxes after six years?

Well, you know what they say, you own
stuff and it owns you.

Can I help you pack anything?

Yeah, I mean, you can deal with the lamp.

Is this yours?

Oh, just the bulb.

No, Fonz, you can't leave like this.

All right, fine, put back the bulb.

No, I don't need a light bulb.

I mean, all these bad feelings.

No, you and the Cunninghams have been together.

I'm not a topic for conversation.

Fine.

All right, that does it.

Hey, you forgot your picture of the Cunninghams.

Oh, right, yeah, right.

I don't want to forget that, huh?

Well, guess we ought to sign.

Yeah, I guess we ought to.

The door, the door, Howard.

Someone's at the door.

We can't be signing contracts.

We can't be signing contracts when somebody's at the door.

Oh, what a surprise, Chachi.

Didn't even dinner yet.

Well, look, I can't even think about food
at a time like this.

You going to have spaghetti?

Sit down.

We have to talk.

Look, I think it's terrible what's going
on between you and Fonzie.

Oh, so do we.

We don't know what to do.

Do you have any suggestions?

No.

All I know is that in five minutes,
he's going to be out of here.

And if you guys don't settle this thing
right now, you may never be able to.

Oh, I'm sorry to butt in.

It's a Cunningham's move.

Where am I going to eat?

Oh, and Arthur's leaving in five minutes.

Marion, we had nothing but his best
interests at heart, and he turned on us.

I've tried to talk to him for two nights in a row,
and all he does is walk past me in the driveway.

Now, he's a grown man.

If he wants to act this way, there's
nothing we can do about it.

Come on, let's go up and talk to him.

Hey, I wonder what this used to be.

Oh, look at this, it had children.

Yo.

So, you come up here to see that I left
everything where I found it?

That's not why we're here.

Oh, oh, you got other people coming up here to look?

That's fine, I'm out of here, I'm history,
I'm in the archives.

Hold it.

Just sit down and zip your face, dear.

Sure.

Now that I'm leaving, you show your real cults, huh?

Now, Arthur, you are obviously upset about
the fact that you're moving out.

Oh, you can see through my steely facade.

What we don't understand is why.

Now, if Howard had never gone to
that convention, and he hadn't met Mr.

Farquhar and had the great offer,
were you just gonna stay here?

Forever?

Absolutely.

This is where I belong.

I had plans of adding on.

Fonzie, look, six years ago, this was the right
place for you to live, but times have changed.

You got that right.

Six years ago, I moved in here,
you were nice to me, you took care of me.

Then all of a sudden, I needed you to be
nice to me and take care of me.

You shouldn't have done that.

There's nothing wrong with needing people.

Oh, for me, there is.

Every time I need someone... If
I need somebody, they leave me.

Ashley, Heather, Richie, my parents, you.

Wait a minute, what are you trying to say?

Are you trying to say that we're the
second set of parents to walk out on you?

Hey, it's not your fault.

You know, I'm just the kind of guy people
love to leave, that's all.

I went to one Braves game and I found out
they're moving to Atlanta.

You're wrong.

No, I'm not.

I read it in the newspaper.

No, I think you're wrong about us.

Being a family doesn't mean that you have
to live over the garage for the rest of your life.

We can leave a city, but we can't leave your life.

Family means the phone rings and it's your
voice and you say, I need you.

We're right on the next plane.

Fonzie, can you honestly look at us and imagine a
time when you'll need us and we won't be there for you?

Can you say that?

You know, you were wrong.

You're not my second family, you're my first.

Oh, Arthur, we love you so much.

I love you too, you know.

I'll tell you one thing, though,
I'm very, very embarrassed.

I was so absorbed in my own problem, you know.

I forgot to congratulate you on your
promotion and your big move.

I mean, all the way to New York, that big road apple.

And the great offer on the house?

Yeah, the papers are all ready.

They're just waiting to be signed.

They're down on the table.

You know what?

I'm going downstairs now.

I'm going to get the champagne I already
packed on my bike, all right?

I'll be right back.

And I'm going to bring up the papers in a pen, okay?

Okay.

Well, looks like we're really going to do this.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, Marion, you seem to be a little
bit nervous about all of this.

Well, this is a big move.

But just think, we'll be in a nice
apartment facing the park, and we can go

to Coney Island and have a hot dog, and
we can go watch the Yankees play, huh?

New York's a heck of a town.

The Bronx is up, and the battery's down.

You know something, Howard?

I just had the strangest feeling.

Maybe we're happy here.

Happy?

You really think so?

Yes, we have our home, and we have our
friends, and we have each other,

and maybe we don't need anything else.

What about the money?

What could we buy that wouldn't make us any happier?

Okay, I got it.

The champagne.

Here are the papers.

Here's the pen.

Why, uh, why'd you do that?

We just decided to stay.

How come?

Because we're happy.

Huh.

Yeah, me too.

Me too, you know.

So, Arthur, go downstairs and get your
stuff and put it all back in the bag.

All back exactly the way it was.

You know, I was thinking that maybe you
were right, you know.

Maybe it is time for me to move.

Maybe since I've already started moving,
I should just, like, get the guts and finish.

Just move right on out, you know.

No, Arthur, no.

It wouldn't be the same without you.

Do you think there could ever be a time when
you needed me and I wouldn't be there for you?

Why are you so glum, Mr. C?

I just can't believe that the Braves are moving to Atlanta.

Serving fries!

Oh, hello-ha, you crazy, cunning a*s.

Oh, Arthur.

We knew you'd be all alone with nothing to
eat, so we brought you some dinner.

Oh, hey, that smells great, but, oh, it's not necessary.

Oh, that's no trouble at all.

There we go.

Oh, Mrs. C.

Now, we got you some cheesecake for
dessert, but Howard ate it on the way over.

It doesn't travel well.

Not when you're in the car.

So sit down, Arthur, and do you want this to get cold?

No, I don't think you understand, really.

Um, I just, I don't have an appetite.

I don't have an appetite at the moment.

Oh, now, don't be silly.

Go ahead.

Chow down.

Oh, yeah, really.

Thanks so much.

I deeply appreciate it, but I'd rather not.

There.

Bring him some food, huh?

He's alone and starving.

He's weak from hunger.

Well, I guess we should be going.

We wanted to be home to watch Candid Camera.

They're going to run that one about the talking mailboxes.

Oh, I love that one.

Wait a minute, Marion.

There's going to be enough for everyone.

Howard, uh, we're all very happy to see
that you're going to be home.

You've adjusted so well to your environment here, Arthur.

You know, it was tough at first,
and I'm trying to make a goal of it.

See you, Fonz.

Yeah, bye-bye.

Oh, my goodness, this, oh, yes, indeed.

This is certainly delicious.

And the food looks very good, too.

I got that.

Like grey sky, hello blue.

Hello blue.

There's nothing can hold me when I hold you.

When I hold you.

It feels so right, I can't be wrong.

Working in a world where we're all alone.

These days are ours, share them with me.

These days are ours, happy and free.

These happy days are yours and mine.

These happy days are yours and mine.

Happy days.

These days are ours.

Happy days.

Happy days.
