Cunningham, with that Howdy Doody face, you could only be so tough. But I'll tell you somethin'. I'll tell you somethin'. Now, with a li'l practice, there's always hope.
[brief pause, then Richie grabs a hold of Fonzie's shirt real tight]
[screams bloody murder] DON'T EVER GRAB ME AGAIN!!!!
What?!
[Richie lets go of Fonzie's shirt]
[in a pleasant tone] Just practicin'.
Well there. You see, it wasn't bad. It's not good, either. Wasn't bad. Now, listen; what you gotta do is you gotta, like, don't yell. You gotta keep it low, see? Now, make it more threatening.
[threateningly] Don't ever grab me again.
All right, now, clench your teeth.
[clenches his teeth with his lips] Don't ever grab me again.
Not your lips, your TEETH!
[clenches his teeth with his entire teeth] Don't ever grab me again.
Hey, that's good. Now, raise up your chin and look me square in the eye.
[looks up at Fonzie in the eye and clenches his teeth] Don't ever grab me again.
All right, now, saunter. Saunter!
[saunters right to the door and still clenches his teeth] Don't ever grab me again! [Vivian appears, and Richie looks up at her like the Fonz told him] Don't ever grab me again!
[shocked] I've lost counts. Do you want, I mean, I should start over again?
[still clenches his teeth at Vivian] I mean, don't come back for another hour! [Vivian disappears, scared and shocked, and Richie smiles to show Fonzie how it works] Hey, how's that, Fonz?
[worries about Vivian] Well, I wanted her back now.
