09x02 - Home Movies pt. 2

[bunniefuu]

Hi, Rich.

The reason why I haven't written in so long

is because
Chachi and I went through a lot of rough times this summer.

Anyway, during this summer,

we took a lot of home movies,

so I thought I'd send them to you along with this tape.

So start the tape and the movie at the same time, okay?

This letter happens to be from my old g*ng, the Falcons.

Oh, yeah?

Am I crazy or written in blood?

Of course it's written in blood.

That's tradition.

How do you know it ain't junk mail, you know?

Good as they're having their first reunion in ten years.

I'm gonna have a baby!

I'm gonna have a baby!

Did you say you're gonna have a baby?

Howard, you're gonna be a grandpa.

If you go to Jefferson High,

you wouldn't by any
chance know a doll named Chachi Arcola, would you?

Do we know Chachi Arcola?

Boy, how well we do know Chachi Arcola.

I was with him Fourth of July night.

We had the most Marvy time.

This could get ugly.

Uh-huh.

The warmongers all figure we got some old scores to even.

We invite you to settle up.

You sure you guys want to go through with this?

You know the question,

Rock always whether they want to go through with it.

Sure we do.

You know the rules?

Yeah, we know the rules.

Play ball!

Play ball!

Are you ready to go?

Are you ready to go?

Two years in jail, we're going to do this.

If this don't work, then we Rumble, right?

That's not the way I saw it.

You want to do something about it?

Yeah!

Come on, you animals, break up, stay cool, will you?

All right, pot the red seat.

Okay, this is stupid stuff.

Sports, sissy, stupid, sissy, sports,
and I was never good at sports.

Do you guys want to Rumble?

That's right.

Falcons, all right, now.

What a night, huh?

Destroyed the warmongers, just like old times.

We didn't need to play ball, we just
should have stomped them in the first place.

This was really stupid.

We should have done this.

I can't go around banging heads anymore.

I don't know how to break this to you.

Try.

I'm a married man.

Get out of here.

Okay.

Okay.

Expression.

You know, like, old times.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Oh.

It's been four years.

I own an auto supply store.

Don't kid him.

I've even got a kid.

Let me see this.

Take a gander at Rocco Jr. Would you look at her?

She is the spitting image of your wife.

Yeah.

When I think about what could have
happened to me tonight, it can't be Joe Palooka.

I got responsibilities.

What's so funny about that?

Rocco, I got responsibilities, too.

Check this.

I own a garage.

Part ownership in Arnold's.

When I'm in a car, I wear my seat belt.

And I am a teacher of auto mechanics at
Jefferson High School.

Get out of here.

I will not.

I live here.

So what are we fighting about tonight?

Something silly, right?

We always fought over something silly.

I don't want to do that no more.

I don't want to fight for no reason, you know?

I mean, if I'm going to fight, I want it.

I'll win.

I want it to mean something, you know?

I want it to matter.

That's how I feel.

What happened to us, Fonz?

Did we get normal?

Don't you say that word.

We're not normal.

We grow up, that's all.

I don't want to be like the warm-up.

As long as it's for the rest of my life,


We've got some distinction, some class to
our personalities now.

Yeah, Fonz, I like that.

I better get going.

I gotta get up early tomorrow and take
Rocco Jr. to ballet class.

I can't wait till I can do that.

Rocco.

I want to see your kids sometime, all right?

Yeah.

You know, there's some things that don't change.

You'll always be the Fonz.

That kind of cool never dies.

Get out of here.

Why are so many scenes on TV set at the family table?

Well, it's not just because TV characters need to eat.

Family table scenes bring the whole family together.

And when everybody's in one place,
man, they start talking, arguing,

and revealing pieces of information
essential to the show's plot.

On TV, the family table helps you get the whole story.

It does at home, too.

Share more than meals at the family table.

I was stage four and considered terminal.

A 1% chance of survival.

That pretty much stamped any hope.

Pack it up, write your will, take your last vacation.

I broke down for about 15 minutes.

I just couldn't stop crying because I
thought I was in big trouble.

And then I would find a commercial for
Cancer Treatment Centers of America,

and my life changed.

Everything I had seen on the web about
lung cancer was grim.

And then I came across the Cancer
Treatment Centers of America website,

which is full of hope.

You walk through the door.

And immediately have the feeling, yes, there is
something that can be done, and we're going to do it today.

They took the nutrition area and the
naturopathic area and the conventional

medicine, and it all worked together for a healing.

You have to take responsibility for your own recovery.

You may be scared and weak, but you have to get yourself
in a position to get the best treatment that you can.

And there's always hope.

I had no hope that it was possible to
survive my kind of cancer.

I saw people who did it.

I cannot imagine raising my son without him.

And if we had not gone to the Cancer
Treatment Centers of America, I really

don't think that we would have him here today.

These courageous people found a place for
hope, Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Mmm, chocolate.

Mmm, peanut butter.

Hey, you got chocolate on my peanut butter.

You got peanut butter on my chocolate.

That is good.

It's really good.

Yeah, I like this.

Two great tastes that taste great together.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

Real milk chocolate.

Good old-fashioned peanut butter.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

Before you knew it, Labor Day was right around the corner.

Fonzie and Alicia were seeing a lot of each other.

She definitely doesn't think he's normal anymore.

Being the bright guy Roger is, he finally
figured out a way to keep up with Corinne.

Well, almost.

And at last, Jenny got a guy to notice her.

Too bad it was Eugene.

He wasn't exactly the hero she had in mind.

Chachi and I still weren't back together.

But you know me, I hardly let it bother me anymore.

And we just couldn't seem to get Dad
interested in anything, except the Braves.

By the end of the summer, even I knew
their starting lineup.

I haven't been to a Braves game since I was nine.

Did you eat that much then?

No, I didn't get a chance.

I didn't get a chance to.

At the bottom of the third, my father
tried to push me out of the upper deck.

I thought it was an accident until he took
me on a roller coaster.

Sure, you deserve it.

Okay, Hank, come on, show them where you live.

Yeah.

Potsie, I got a confession to make to you.

You know, I wasn't going to hire you.

But now that the summer's over, well, I'm glad I did.

You did well.

I still feel kind of bad about that shellac incident.

No, that's all right.

I got it all out of my hair.

Like I was saying, you did well.

Well, you're Richie's best friend,
and I know that your parents had some

difficulty helping you finance your graduate school.

So I just wanted to tell you that if you want to keep on

working part-time at the store,
you can for as long as you want.

Mr. C, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me.

Well, you've earned it, Potsie.

Let go now.

Mr. C, you're crushing my goobers.

I'll see you, sweetheart.

I'm off to the ballgame.

Oh, no, you don't, Howard.

Marion, the Cubs are in town.

This is no time to get frisky.

Your season is over.

Now, I have been more than patient with you.

Come and sit down.

All right, but make it quick.

I want to get to the game early.

Before the hot dogs become cold dogs.

Howard, I know why you have been burying
yourself in baseball.

Well, sure.

It's the national pastime, and I love the game.

Besides, the Braves are only 19 games out.

You are trying to escape from the fact
that you're going to be a grandfather.

You're upset about the baby.

That is a terrible thing to say to me, Marion.

Accusing me of not loving my own little future grandchild.

What am I, a monster?

Of course not.

You're just shocked that you're going to be a grandfather.

But, Howard, you're not old.

I'm almost 50.



That's middle age.

Really?

How many people do you know who are 100?

Oh, Marion, it all happened so fast.

Yesterday, you and I were necking in the Rumble seat
of my father's hubmobile, and today we're grandparents.

Howard.

A baby is not going to make us older.

It's going to make us younger.

We can relive all those moments when
Joanie and Richie were babies,

when they first walked.

Richie stepped on my new Fez.

And when they first talked.

Joanie's first word was hardware.

Yeah, maybe it will be nice to have a
little baby around again to hug and to

tickle and to kiss and go coochie-coochie-coo.

It will be wonderful, won't it, Marion?

It will.

Let's call your dad and see if we can get
the hot mail bill for tonight.

All right, everybody, come on,
get big a*s Labor Day picnic hamburgers.

They are delicious.

Okay, here we are.

Oh, Mr. C, get live.

Here we go.

One for you and one for somebody else.

You need two, huh?

Here you go.

How's this one?

Oh, good.

Oh, good.

How's this one?

This one, huh?

Hi, Corinne.

Hi.

How come you're not out swimming?

Well, I got to thinking, and I decided I'm over-training.

Oh, yeah?

So I'm looking for a little recreation.

Oh, well, how about a little tennis?

No.

A little ping pong?

No.

A little, uh, whammo-bammo?

Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.

That's gonna burn.

Ma, look.

Yeah?

The summer's over.

You're going home tomorrow.

Now, why can't we just have a nice time?

I'll be your socks.

Oh, wait, don't do this.

You're not gonna do this.

I'm gonna take my socks off right over here.

Now, you like that?

Here's the socks coming off.

There, and I'm gonna walk.

Uh-huh.

Woo-hoo.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, you have such a sensitive skin.

Well, you little boy, I put a lot of olive
oil in your little boom-boom.

Ma.

We, uh, we no get along too good this summer, no?

Ma, don't say that.

We just had a miserable time, that's all.

We did have some nice times.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Love you.

Love you too much.

No.

Yes.

Why?

And you little boy, you're so kind,
you're so sweet, you're so loving,

uh, to me, uh, nobody, no woman or nothing
is good enough for you.

I love you too much.

Oh, ma.

Thank you.

Tanto grazie, mamma Mia.

Prego, don't be.

Ma, I love you too.

Hey.

Come on.

Hey.

Come on, boy.

Go put on your socks.

Joanie, school starts tomorrow.

I'll be passing you in the hallways.

I'll see you in the classroom.

It'll drive me crazy.

Tough cookies.

I'm glad we had this conversation.

This is my last shot.

I don't know what else to say.

I'm sorry.

But I can't take this anymore.

Fine.

Look, would it help if I said I wouldn't
look at any other girls?

Yes.

Fine, then.

I won't look at any other girls.

You're lying.

Yes.

I am.

I have to be crazy to say that.

Everybody looks at a pretty girl, Joanie.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Just tell me what I have to do to get us
back together again.

Well, you can stop making promises you can't keep.

All right.

No more promises.

I promise.

See?

Look, I know what I did is wrong.

I was stupid.

I was dumb.

I was foolish.

I was an idiot.

You can stop me any time.

No, you're doing fine.

Listen, I've been thinking about this a lot.

You've been chasing me.

You've been chasing me ever since you were
a little kid, which was last year.

You finally caught me.

Yeah.

You missed out on dating a lot of different girls.

Maybe deep down you resent that.

Or maybe you're just too immature to have just one girl.

No, I'm not.

All right, then why'd you go for that Terry?

Because she was here and you're a weenie
heaven, that's why.

Oh?

All right.

All right, I was immature.

You're happy now?

But I can grow, and I don't mean taller.

Well, fatter?

You know what I mean.

I'm not sure.

A lot could happen between now and then.

You're worth it for me to try.

You're worth it to you?

You'll have to give me some time to think about it.

We've all been together for so long,
truest friends no matter right or wrong,

changed direction and our point of view.

But you, you're the best, you're the one,
the one I can turn to.

Every time, and every place, everywhere I
look I see your smiling face.

Sometimes I'm so all alone, and sometimes I'm
confused, and sometimes I just close my eyes.

I think of you.

It's so funny how the seasons change.

Looking forward as the summer fades.

It's so funny nothing stays the same.

But you, you're the best, you're the one,
the one I can turn to.

Every time, and every place, everywhere I
look I see your smiling face.

Everywhere I look I see your smiling face.

Sometimes I'm so alone, and sometimes I refuse.

Sometimes I just close my eyes and think of you.

Every time, every place, everywhere I look
I see your smiling face.

Sometimes I'm so alone, and sometimes I refuse.

Sometimes I just close my eyes and think of you.

Every time,

every place, everywhere I look I see your.

Smiling face.

Don't go there.

Go Dell.

Hey, there's a reason people gave Dell an

Mom, we're going to have to postpone this wedding.

There's the church music and the florist,
the bridesmaids' dresses.

Do I have to include Cousin Ruth?

Katie, we've got 11 months.

We can do this.

Sarah Lee home style bread.

Nobody doesn't like Sarah Lee.

You kiss a scrape to make it better.

You do a little dance to make the tears stop.

You've learned a million things to help your little one.

Like what to do with the first sign of diarrhea.

You give them Pedialyte.

Because soda and sports drinks can be so
high in sugar, they can make diarrhea worse.

Pedialyte has the proper balance of fluid
and electrolytes to help prevent dehydration.

It's all part of a learning process that never ends.

But why would you want it to?

Use Pedialyte.

Well, Rich, it's fall already and everything's
settled down to its normal craziness here.

Lori Beth is living in your room.

I've never seen Dad so happy.

I'm not sure whether it's because of Mom, being a
grandpa, or the fact that the Packers are undefeated.

Oh, we had great times, great songs,
and I went crazy over Chachi.

Fonzie?

Well, he might have matured a little.

He's grown up a lot, but he's still the same old Fonz.

Thank goodness there's still a lot of boy left in him.

Richie, we miss and love you a lot.

Your favorite sister, Joanie.

Goodbye, gray sky, hello, blue.

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

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

Rockin' and rollin'.
