TRANSCRIPT:
==========================
KITCHEN
LAURIE: So, look
at us. This is just like a Norman Rockwell painting. Mom is serving breakfast,
daddy is reading the newspaper and brother Eric is trying to hide a big purple
nasty hickey!
ERIC: Hickey? I
don't have a hickey...
LAURIE: You know
Eric, hickeys lead to dirty things.
RED: For God 's
sakes, don't let Donna suck your neck. She's a nice girl.
ERIC: I don't have
a hickey! I was using a curling iron.
KITTY: Oh well,
will you just look at that? (licks fingers and touches Eric's neck)
ERIC: NO! Mom!
KITTY: Red,
remember that time....
RED interrupts: No
and neither do you!
KITTY: Okay!
Hahaha. So, uhm Laurie, what's on the agenda today?
LAURIE: Agenda?
KITTY: A list of
goals or actions one might feel good about achieving so as to... Eric, you tell
her.
LAURIE: Mom, come
on, relax, I'm still getting used to being back home.
ERIC: Yea,
flunkin' out of college can be draining *phew*
RED: Eric!
ERIC: Come on,
that was so mild!
KITTY: Laurie all
you do is sit around the house and watch television you should come down to the
hospital and volunteer.
RED: She's right
Laurie!
LAURIE: Daddy !
(behind Kitty's back, Red gestures he didn't mean it) You know, I think Eric
needs an agenda. Look at his neck!
ERIC: It's a
birthmark! It's been there sinds birth!
HYDE enters
kitchen: Goodmorning class.
LAURIE: Good
morning, orphan.
HYDE: Goodmorning
LAURIE: That's all
you got?
HYDE *yawns*:
Whore!
LAURIE: Mom, he
called me a whore!
KITTY: Yeah.
Stephen, honey, you're too young for coffee, have some juice.
HYDE: Mrs.
Foreman, I need coffee. Your son kept me up all night bragging about his
hickey.
OPENING CREDITS
ERIC's BASEMENT
JACKIE: Okay,
whatever you do Eric, do NOT wear turtlenecks to school okay, that's a dead
giveaway. Yea, I'd put on a decorative scarf.
ERIC: Thank you.
DONNA: Do you have
to tell everyone about the hickey?
ERIC: Well,
everyone can kinda see it, Vampirette. Laurie had a field day at breakfast.
HYDE: Yeah, I
hopped on that dog pile too.
ERIC: You sure
did, you dillhole.
HYDE: All right
Foreman, that was sort of mean. Probably what I should have said is: I'm sick
of shearing a room with you and all of your disgusting fluids and gasses.
ERIC: Oh, and
yours are just dreamy Hyde.
FEZ: Excuse me. May I please have a hickey please?
DONNA: No
FEZ: Please?
DONNA: No!
FEZ: Jackie?
JACKIE: No!
FEZ: Please?
JACKIE: No!
FEZ: So, the two
of you do things to please your man. Well Fez is a man, why do you not please
him? Why?
KELSO: Jackie!
Just give him a hickey.
JACKIE: Okay. I'm
going home.
DONNA: Me too.
I've gotta go shopping with my mom, suddenly it's like really important we're
being best friends.
ERIC: What
happened?
DONNA: She's been
reading.
ERIC: Reading...
Dammit, when will they learn?
Donna and Jackie
leave
KELSO starts
rummaging the dryer: Finally! I thought that Jackie would never leave!
ERIC: Okay Kelso,
what are you doing?
KELSO: Ah, I need
a sexy memento from Laurie. I gotta commemorate our forbidden love. Panties!
ERIC: Fine! Just
take your panties and go home.
Kelso is fumbling
the panties in his pants pocket
ERIC: Man! Those
are my moms!
KELSO: AHHHH! *throws
panties back in dryer*
HYDE: Okay Foreman
look man, I'm not telling you how to live your life, but if someone touched MY
moms panties, pf
ERIC: Hyde, didn't
everyone touch your moms panties?
KELSO:
Uhuhahahaha. (Hydes look at him) Man, that was a burn!
HYDE: Okay,
Foreman, I have a solution to this whole
you-being-a-pain-in-my-ass-we-shareing-a-room-thing. You move out.
ERIC: Of my room?
HYDE: Yea.
ERIC: Well that's
just not gonna happen.
HYDE: Hey fine, I
move out of it, you big baby.
ERIC: Still friends?
HYDE: I need time
to heal.
KELSO with pink
panties in his hand: Okay, these are Laurie's right?
HYDE: Kelso, what
exactly are you gonna do with those panties?
KELSO:
Just....look at 'm...(fumbles them into his pocket)
FEZ: Kelso, did
you ever notice that Laurie and Eric have the same eyes? So if you're doing it
with Laurie and she's perhaps wearing a hat it's kinda like you're doing it
with Eric too! *Fez starts laughing, the others just stare at him. Fez gets up
and leaves*
PINCIOTTI CAR
DONNA: So.... Here
we are....Together.... Again.
MIDGE: Hmm, I'm
just loving the time we spend together Donna. In my new book 'Our Mothers, Our
Selves' it says we're supposed to be friends. We should talk to each other, and
listen. You're stupid father never listens.
DONNA: Is there
anything in your book about not insulting my father?
MIDGE: Well I
don't know, I've only read the first chapter. Oh, okay, no more talking about
your father. So, how do you like the clogs I bought you?
DONNA: They're
awesome!
MIDGE: Good! Cause
your father's an ass !
FORMAN
LIVINGROOM
Hydes come in with
a bed, he sets it up behind the couch, yawns, streches, hits Eric on the head
and lays down. Laurie comes down the stairs, grabs the remote from Eric and
takes a seat.
ERIC: Kelso took
your underwear.
LAURIE: Uhh that's
like the third pair!
ERIC: Urgh.
Hyde gets up,
takes his bed and leaves.
ERIC: Gimme the
remote control!
LAURIE: Gimme a
reason why I shouldn't set you on fire!
Pauze. Eric grabs
a pillow and puts it on Lauries face. Red enters and Eric lets Laurie go. Red
grabs Eric:
RED: All right
Laurie, take your best shot!
*doorbell*
KITTY walks in
from the kitchen to get the door: Oh Red, we talked about this, let him go!
*opens door*
PROFESSOR: Hello
Laurie, I apologize for coming unannounced, but I ....
LAURIE looks
horrified: Mum, daddy ! This is professor Stark, he was my art history teacher!
STARK: Well
actually I was your psychology teacher.
ERIC: Whatever you
taught her, she flunked it!
RED: Eric! So,
you're from the university of Wisconsin. Are you here to give me back my money?
STARK: Well
actually I came here because of Laurie...
LAURIE: Oh yes, he
came to see if the university would take me back!
KITTY: Really? Oh
please, here, have a seat! I'll make coffee, and cake, I'll make coffeecake and
coffee! Hahaha! Oh gosh really, can you get her back into the university and
out of my house? Hahaha
STARK: Well, I'm
going to try my darndest!
RED: Well this is
really good news!
ERIC: One of the
best things I've ever heard.
STARK: Yes it is.
I want to get Laurie back in school.
ERIC: Professor,
question, how lame exactly is your student body if you're trying to get this
dumb cow ba....
RED: Eric ! Don't
be a smarthmouth, we've got....company.
KITTY: Yea, go
make coffee. (To Eric): Don't scare him off, he's our only hope! So uhm, maybe
you could stay for dinner
STARK: Well yes
thank you, that would be lovely. Oh, and I believe these paint chips are yours.
KITTY: Well, these
are, are the colour of our front door, aren't they?
STARK: Yeah, you
had a paint chip hanging from your front door so I .. I started to peel it and
I guess I got a little over zealouse *starts peeling candle on the table*
KITTY: Uhmmm
psychology huh?
STARK: Yes yes,
human ?? fascinate me
PINCIOTTI
LIVING ROOM
Bob on the couch,
Donna and Midge enter
DONNA: Hey dad.
BOB: Where have
you two been?
DONNA: Mom bought
me these clogs aren't they great?
BOB: Oh. She
bought you clogs. With my money. So officially, I bought you clogs.
MIDGE: No Bob, I
bought her the clogs.
BOB gets up: Get

DONNA: Actually
Dad, I've got homework and....
BOB: Do you love
your daddy?
DONNA: Yes. Let's

MIDGE: Looks like

RED &
KITTY's BEDROOM
Red sits in a
chair reading magazine. Hydes enters with his bed, sets it up and lays on it.
RED (without
looking at Hyde): I don't think so.
Hyde picks up his
bed and leaves
FORMAN KITCHEN
KITTY: Eric I need
you to go to the store and get me three pounds of ground beef, lean
ERIC: Mom, look,
before you go into twenty cents a gram ground beef, this guy is not going to
get Laurie back in college, she’s stupid and evil. Mostly stupid.
KITTY: Eric she is
not stupid. She’s just…she has….special…. Just go!
ERIC turns around
and hits Hyde’s bed: Hyde! (Hyde gets up, again)
KITTY: Oh, honey,
just share the room with Eric.
HYDE: No thank
you. I’m fine.
(He storms out of
the kitchen with his bed, and breaks something on the way out)
OUTSIDE
Eric gets in the
car, and looks the side-mirror. He sees Laurie and prof. Stark kissing
passionately in the garage
ERIC: Eeuuuwww!
(looks again and smiles) Busted!
ERIC’s
BASEMENT
KELSO: No way!
ERIC: Yep, Laurie
and her professor, tongueing in the garage like hungry dogs. It was really
disgusting.
KELSO: No! No, you
see because Laurie wouldn’t just make out with some old guy. She wouldn’t do
that.
HYDE: No, it’s
true man. I was in the upstairs closet trying out my cot, and I saw them. It
was like live porno. But not good porno which is like really really old. It was
like, old bad porno.
JACKIE: Michael,
why do you care if Laurie kisses the professor?
HYDE: Yea Kelso,
why do you care?
KELSO: Well….because.
You see it’s wrong for an old person to make out with an innocent young
student.
HYDE: God, you’re
nobel.
JACKIE: Innocent?!
Okay, Eric no offence, but your sister is as slutty as they come.
KELSO: Eric are
you gonna let her say that about your sister?
ERIC: Sure.
HYDE: Hey, Forman,
did you realise that there’s a room back here man? (Turns on light) And it
barely stinks! (Goes into room)
ERIC: PERFECT! You
can sit right back beneath your bare bulb writing angry letters to the
government.
HYDE from room: Oh
don’t think I won’t !
ERIC: You see
what’s beautiful here people? I finally have somtehing on Laurie. I own her, oh
yeah! She is so screwed!
KELSO: All right,
just be nice.
Fez come in and
shows a hickey on his arm: Look! Did everyone see my hickey? Somebody loves me.
ERIC: Moron, you
gave that to yourself. It’s still wet.
FEZ: O no I did
not! Somebody loves me. There is a lady love. There is !
PINCIOTTI
CAR
BOB: So, you like
the shirt I bought ya?
DONNA: It’s very
nice
BOB: I wasn’t sure
because you didn’t put it on in the store, like you did with the clogs.
Donna grabs her
head in despair and starts smashing her head into the dashboard
BOB: I knew it.
You hate the shirt!
Donna keeps
hitting her hands on the dashboard
HYDES ROOM
HYDE: Nice digs
huh!
ERIC : It’s
perfect. This is where we put all our old crap we just can’t throw away. Like
you.
HYDE: Forman, is
it just me, or do your mum and dad like me a whole lot better then they like
you?
ERIC: You see I
kid, but...you hurt
KITTY (from
outside): Boys! Dinner!
HYDE: All right
man, you ready to make Laurie sqeal like the family pig?
ERIC: Ohhhhh. Yes.
HYDE: You're gonna
punk out, aren't you?
ERIC: Well it is
my nature.
HYDE: Look Forman,
you've always been the run for the litter. This is your chance to bite the big
dog on the ass. So my advice to you is, bite the big dog on the ass!
ERIC: Okay, what
if I let her of with a warning, you know, just this one time.
HYDE: Well that
would be the mature choice (slaps Eric in the face) But not EVIL! You gotta
think EVIL man! Where would we be without the A-bomb?
ERIC: Actually the
world was all that won but...
HYDE: Shut up! Now
listen, lets review.
(They sit down and
Lauries head appears above them)
LAURIE: Daddy,
Eric has dirty magazines under his bed.
LAURIE: Daddy,
Eric snuck out last night.
LAURIE: Daddy, I
saw Eric drinking all your beer.
LAURIE: Daddy,
Eric made it hard for me to concentrate so I flunked out of college.
LAURIE: Daddy,
Eric used all my handlotion...
(Eric looks at Hyde):
Okay that bitch is dead!
FORMAN's DINING
ROOM
The family sits at
the dinner table. Prof. Stark is fidgeting with his bread.
KITTY: So, this
news of Laurie leaving is just a little ray of sunshine! Hahaha!
RED: Well I just
wished that more teachers cared about their students like you do. I think it
all started going downhill when youn couldn't paddle the kids anymore.
ERIC: Hehehe.
Pansy-ass supreme court.
RED: Shut up.
HYDE: Hey Forman,
he who hesitates is boned.
STARK: Laurie is
one of the most gifted women in my class. I've always enjoyed having her.
ERIC (to Laurie) :
I own you.
Stark keeps
fondling his bread.
KITTY: Is there
something wrong with the bread?
STARK: No. Why?
(keeps picking it)
ERIC: O, Laurie. I
know something that you don't know that I know. You know. Yes yes.
HYDE: Tell us
Forman, so that we can all know.
LAURIE: You don't
know anything. And if you do know something, I will make you sorry you were
ever born!
ERIC: Well for your
information, I'm already sorry I was ever born!
RED: Eric!
ERIC: See!
RED: So, what does
she need to do to get back into school?
STARK: Well,
she'll have to work with me. Make a commitment..to school. She'll really have
to buckle down.
KITTY: Hahahaha! Well
what do you think Laurie, are you willing to give it a go?
ERIC: Oh, huhuh,
mother she's very willing. You know dad, I just saw the most interesting thing
today. In the garage.
LAURIE thinking:
Burst into flames, burst into flames, BURST INTO FLAMES!
ERIC: It was
just...it was so surprising.
HYDE: Oh Eric, do
tell!
ERIC: I saw
Laurie....
STARK: I'm love
with your daughter!
Red gets up from
the table, as does professor Stark. They walk towards eachother
STARK: Dad!
RED: That's it!
Come here!!
Red starts to
attack him and professor Stark bolts out the room.
PINCIOTTI
LIVING ROOM
Midge is on the
couch, Donna and Bob enter
MIDGE: Did you two
have fun?
DONNA: A blast.
MIDGE: Donna, that
shirt your father bought you makes you look so fat.
BOB: Yeah well,
those clogs make you look like a duck.
DONNA: Okay, you
know what? Both you guys really need to shut up. I'm so sick of hearing you
fight. Do you even know what you are fighting about?
BOB: Oh, I know
she started it!
MIDGE: I only got
mad cause I knew you were gonna get mad.
DONNA: Allright
okay, you know what WHATEVER, just no more fighting with eachother through me.
Got it? (Bob and Midge nod, Donna starts to leave the room) Althought I would
like you to continue buying me things, I mean, thank you! (Donna leaves)
BOB hums: She
likes the shirt better...
MIDGE: You're an
ass Bob!
BOB: Oeh, good

the opposite direction.
FORMAN DOORWAY
STARK: Mister
Forman, I really wanna get Laurie back in school!
Red kicks him out,
and slams the door shut
FORMAN LIVING
ROOM
KITTY: Oh for Gods
sake Laurie, the man is in love with you and you still couldn't pass!
RED walks up to Laurie:
So?
LAURIE (almost
crying): So I guess I disappointed you Daddy... I'm really sorry, I just wish
he wouldn't have taken advantage of me and my love for education.
ERIC: Huh that is
just so ???
RED: Well, I guess
you're not the first student to be taken advantage of by a teacher.
ERIC: O, wait,
where are you going Dad?
RED: Just try not
to be too hard on yourself.
ERIC: No! Nooo!
NOOOO!
LAURIE: And the
really sad thing is, Eric saw him kiss me today. And he didn't even TRY to stop
him!
ERIC: Cause she wanted
it!
RED: You knew
about this and you didn't do anything?! She's your sister!
LAURIE (tearful):
Yea Eric, why?!
RED: I'll deal
with you later Eric! Come on Laurie, I'll make you a cup of coffee and explain
to you the nature of men. Something I thought you already knew but apparantly
you don't. (He leaves the livingroom)
LAURIE (normal
voice): Oh, Eric, I forgive you. (walks after Red)
HYDE (to Eric):
Well this is unforgivable. In fact you SUCK! I'll be in my room (leaves)
Eric walks up to
Kitty who is on the couch: Oh, mom. O, my God, mom (sits down next to Kitty) I
had her in my sights! (Kitty nods yes) I mean she was right in the cross there!
KITTY: O honey,
you know I love you and your sister equally, but if you ever get an opportunity
again, for Gods sake pull the trigger!
