Zack is scheming to frame Slater. He meets Screech in the men's room
Hey, Screech, I told Mr. Belding that you do a great impression of Mr. Turtle and he wants to hear it.
Screech {normal voice}: Certainly Zack, what stall is he in?
Not here, you dingbat! gives Screech his cell phone He's in his office waiting for our call. Now pretend you're Mr. Tuttle and ask Belding to get the keys out of the driver's ed car.
Principal's office. Mr. Belding picks up phone
Screech {impersonating Mr. Tuttle}: Hello Mr. Belding, this is Mr. Tuttle. I need you to do me a favor and get the keys out of the driver's ed car?
BMr. Belding
Why can't you do it yourself?
Um, um, I'm shaving my body hair so I can swim faster.
Zack winces, as does Mr. Belding on other line
BMr. Belding
Sorry I asked! All right, Tuttle, I'll get the keys out of the car for you. Now, is there anything else I can do for you?
Good, now stall him for five minutes.
Zack departs men's room to set scheme in motion
Would you please tell me the long story of how you became a princpal?
BMr. Belding
Well, if you insist. The year was 1956. Elvis was king, Eisenhower was in the White House, and I was in kindergarten on a finger painting scholarship. God, I loved those paints!
BMr. Belding
Another afternoon in detention, number nine in the series...
No, I think that's number eight.
BMr. Belding
No, number eight was when you sold the school to the Japanese.
Ahh...What was wrong with Honda High School?
Have I ever told you that you are the best Princpal in Bayside, no, make that California?
BMr. Belding
Zack, I'm not a matador, so take the bull outside!
What the little brownnoser is trying to say is we'd like to hold a carnival on school grounds to raise money for the ski trip.
BMr. Belding
Good idea, do it! [Students are glad at getting Mr. Belding's approval and depart his office expect for Zack, who is stopped] Zack, I want to talk to you about something else. Do the letters F, F, D and C mean anything to you?
Fine feathered dogs and cats?
That's OK. I like this game!
BMr. Belding
F, F, D & C are your grades in biology, English, geography and math!
I do not believe it...a C? I had no clue I was doing that well in math!
BMr. Belding
Zack, you're flunking. I think it's time I met your father.
Hold on, sir. My mother is the one who comes to meet you. After all, she has her own parking space.
BMr. Belding
She also has no clue about what kind of a student you really are.
Well, you gotta love her!
BMr. Belding
No father, no ski trip!
Zack proceeds to Mr. Belding's office but stops himself when it looks as if the Belding Brothers are arguing
BMr. Belding
I can't believe you're doing this! The class trip leaves in 5 minutes!
RRod
If you met this stewardess, you'd know. She's a 10.
BMr. Belding
You're doing this to spend time with some stewardess?
RRod
This is not just some stewardess. This is Inga and she's only in town for the weekend.
BMr. Belding
What am I supposed to say to the students? That you dumped them for a weekend fling?
RRod
Of course not! Tell them I'm sick, tell 'em anything. Cover for me!
BMr. Belding
I'm tired of covering for you!
RBRod Belding
Come on, Richard, don't be mad. We're brothers.
Mr. Belding{angry tone of voice}: Get out of my school, Rod!
Zack ducks behind a row of lockers to avoid being caught. Rod Belding departs the principal's office and walks by annoyed, without taking notice of Zack. Mr. Belding then leaves the principal's office to proceed to the school entrance area
BMr. Belding
May I have your attention, please? I have some bad news. My brother Rod cannot take you on the class trip.
I guess we won't be going anywhere now.
ZZach
Let's go home guys. (They start to leave)
BMr. Belding
Hold on, everybody. I may not be a great rafting expert like Rod or even as cool a guy, but I would like to try and take you.
BMr. Belding
If you don't mind a leader who can't swim too well! Let's get going!
Class proceeds to board buses, as does Mr. Belding, but Zack motions to speak with him in private
Mr. Belding, why didn't you tell them the truth?
About the stewardess? I heard everything.
BMr. Belding
I'm sorry you had to hear that. Besides, I know how much you kids looked up to him. Heck, Rod always was the most exciting Belding.
Maybe so, but we got the better Belding.
(After Mr. Belding shows up Zack and wins the trip to Hawaii)
BMr. Belding
A trip to Hawaii? This is great! Now I have an anniversary gift for Mrs. Belding! And to think, all this time, I just thought you were trying to get out of detention.
Yeah, I was doing this, all for you. (mumbling to himself) Took weeks of planning.
BMr. Belding
And I owe it all to you!
Well, maybe now you'll do me a favor in return.
BMr. Belding
Ah, we can talk about it...in detention!
[Jessie and Slater are at war with each other]
BMr. Belding
I wanna know what's going on right now.
[pointing to Slater] Ask brillo-head, he started it.
BMr. Belding
Well, Brillo-He - I mean, Slater...
