[after Richie rushes out of the Simpson house] You really look scared, Richie.
RichieI am not. Don't be ridiculous. I just want to get home. I'm hungry.
You'll have a hard time eating with your heart in your throat, Richie.
RichieHa, ha, ha.
You got nothing to fear but fear itself.
RichieDidn't somebody else say that?
Well, if they did, they got it from the Fonz.
RichieWhat's going on with Joanie? Yesterday, all she cared about was who was gonna pay for the popcorn, and, now, she's talking about necking.
[to Marion] What did you say to her?
Well, Howard, you told me to talk to her.
Yes, talk, but not tell her anything.
RichieI don't know that much about Hamlet, Fonzie, but I'll teach you everything I know.
Go.
RichieAll right.
So, you're gonna play the "Melancholy Dane," huh?
Hey, wait a minute! I don't play animals!
What would we do without you, Fonzie?
Well, you'd be up a creek, Mrs. C.
RichieYeah, our car'd be stuck in the snow, our tree'd be out, and our Santa Claus would be mugging the neighbors.
What is it you did last night?
RichieDo you wanna hear what really happened or the lie we're gonna tell everybody else?
Start with the lie. It's probably more interesting.
RichieYou know what my idea of a perfect girl is, Fonz?
[rolling eyes] I have no idea. Thrill me.
RichieI like a girl... with a cute face... a cute build... and a nice personality.
No, you don't say.
RichieWhat's your idea of the perfect girl, Fonzie?
45-22-34... with her own Harley.
You realize we're probably gonna have to sit through six other strippers before she comes out.
RichieIf we hurry!
RichieBurglar, meet my friends, Ralph and Potsie.
You need to widen your circle of acquaintances. These are the most useless friends I've ever seen.
RichieSince when is politics the key to sex?
Are you kidding? I heard about a guy who was canvassing in '52. He rang a lady's doorbell and didn't come out till '54.
RichieI know I'm right. Why should I have to apologize?
Because he is your father.
Right or wrong, I always apologize. It keeps my allowance coming in.
RichieWe're gonna go cruising and see if we can catch onto some new talent.
Why don't you drop Mary Anne, and come with us?
Not me. You know the old saying, "A bird in the hand ..."
Yeah, but what you have is a dog on a leash.
I don't get it. Two red-headed gods and she picks Potsie Weber. Maybe she feels sorry for him.
RichieNo, she doesn't know him the way we do.
RichieI'm gonna interview Howdy Doody.
How are you gonna do that?
RichieI'm gonna pull a few strings.
With a divorcée, all you gotta do is establish a relationship.
RichieWith a glass of water?
It's a start, Rich, it's a start. It gets you inside the house. Then, you charm your way into her private quarters. From there, you're just one subtle move away from paradise.
RichieYou go from a glass of water to paradise?
