FADE IN: FONZIE'S PAD
RICHIE RUNS OVER TO THE FONZ, AND BEGINS TO PAT HIM ON THE BACK.
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Nobody touches the Fonz! Not even when he's choking!
Heeeyy!
RICHIE
Sure, Fonzie. I just thought you needed some help.
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Nobody helps the Fonz! Not even when he's choking! Heeeyy!
RALPH
Hey Fonzie, what's with the excessive number of "heeeyy's" so far on this
episode?
FONZIE
Heeeyy! It's my, like, trademark. I'm part beatnik, part tough, part
psychologist, part teacher, part mama's boy in need of tender love and
care. Get my drift?
RALPH
RICHIE
Hey guys, now that the Fonz has stopped choking on the chicken bone
why don't we go over to the sock hop and show those junior high guys
what real greasy heads look like!
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Cunningham, my boy, you are so cool! Let's go!
CUT TO: JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL'S FRONT DOOR
RICHIE
Ok, guys. I'll go first to kind of scout the place out, you know.
When I signal like this ...
(he whistles)
... the rest of you come on in. Ready?
RALPH
RICHIE OPENS THE FRONT DOOR AND IS PROMPTLY ATTACKED BY A GUARD DOG. THE DOORS ARE SO SUBSTANTIAL AND SOUND-PROOF THAT RICHIE'S FRIENDS HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT THE TUSSLE GOING ON NOT 10 FEET AWAY.
FONZIE
(about 15 minutes later)
I wonder what's keeping that Cunningham? Hey, Ralph. Maybe you ought
to go check it out.
RALPH
Why me Fonz? Why doesn't Potsie go check it out?
POTSIE
Heeyy, wait a minute. This wasn't my idea!
FONZIE
Hey, Potsie. Did you come very close to using my trademark
"heeeyy"? Cause if you did -
INTERRUPTING FONZIE IS THE OPENING OF THE FRONT DOORS THROUGH WHICH A RIPPED UP RICHIE STAGGERS, BLEEDING BADLY.
FONZIE
Heeeyy! What the (censored) happened to you, Cunningham?
(Fonzie turns to speak to the others)
Looks like Richie got whipped by a mean old seventh-grader!
THE WHOLE CROWD, SANS RICHIE, LAUGHS.
RICHIE
(very faintly)
POTSIE
RALPH
I think he said that he that there are babes inside.
POTSIE
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Jail bait is more like it!
I'm disappointed in you, Cunningham... Trying to lure us into
a school full of minors. Heeeyy! Let's go.
POTSIE
But, Fonzie. Aren't you even going to leave your traditional
calling card?
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Of course I am, you dope!
FONZIE PULLS OUT A CIGARETTE LIGHTER AND CATCHES THE WOODWORK AT THE SCHOOL'S ENTRANCE ON FIRE.
FONZIE
Heeeyy! Now let's go! Heeeyy!
RALPH
Hey Fonzie, I still could make the argument that you have used an
excessive number of "heeeyy's" so far on this episode. I really could.
