Épisode L'amour ou l'argent S04E13 - That '70s Show Saison 4

Cuisine des Forman

Red et Éric s'affrontent pour le dernier pancake. Bien évidemment, Red l'emporte après avoir menacé son fils de lui mettre un coup de pied aux fesses. Kitty rentre de sa garde de nuit à l'hôpital, elle a rapporté une sucette à son fils, mais également des préservatifs et des fascicules sur le sexe et la contraception. Le fils et le père sont mal à l'aise avec le sujet, Éric finit par s'en aller.

Sous-sol des Forman

Éric et Kelso discutent. Hyde râle car Red a encore fouillé sa « chambre ». Du coup, il confie à Éric son stock d'herbe afin qu'il le cache dans la sienne. Les filles entrent. Donna est ravie alors que Jackie fait la tête. Son père vient d'apprendre qu'elle était de nouveau en couple et il lui fait du chantage, si elle ne rompt pas il ne lui donnera plus d'argent. Les autres trouvent la situation très drôle et d'après leur sondage, elle devrait choisir l'argent. Jackie ne trouve cependant pas cela très drôle car l'argent est très important à ses yeux. Contre toute attente, elle choisit Kelso et l'amour. Mais elle veut que son petit ami trouve un travail afin de pouvoir lui donner de l'argent.

« The Hub »

Éric, Hyde et Donna sont attablés lorsque Fez fait son entrée avec Thomas, le nouveau étudiant étranger. Tout de suite, ce dernier semble à l'aise avec les filles et arrive à charmer Donna. Il veut tenter sa chance avec tout ce qui bouge, même la fille la plus populaire du lycée. Fez le met en garde mais en fait, Thomas a déjà couché avec et il ne risque rien avec l'équipe de football car ils l'adorent. Il a d'ailleurs un poste dans l'équipe. Fez est jaloux et ils finissent par se chamailler. Thomas s'en va.

Chambre des Forman

Kitty et Red s'apprêtent à passer aux choses sérieuses mais ils n'ont plus de préservatif. Après de nombreuses hésitations, Red insiste pour le faire et Kitty est trop heureuse à l'idée qu'il n'ait pas peur d'avoir un troisième enfant. Red s'arrête brusquement et sort de la chambre.

Chambre d'Éric

Red fouille dans les tiroirs de son fils afin de trouver des préservatifs. Hyde et Éric entrent à ce moment-là et tous se figent. Red s'en va. Éric et Hyde pensent tout de suite qu'il a trouve l'herbe. Éric panique et Hyde est très clair, il ne compte pas révéler que l'herbe est à lui.

Chambre des Forman

Red retourne dans sa chambre, catastrophé. Il explique à Kitty ce qu'il s'est passé. Son mari semble tellement gêné qu'elle se moque de lui. Du coup, il se tourne et boude.

« The Hub »

Thomas est entouré de deux filles. Hyde et Fez l'observent. Fez bouillonne et trouve ridicule que Thomas cache son pays d'origine. Hyde lui fait remarquer qu'il fait de même.

Cuisine des Forman

Kitty fait la cuisine. Éric parle à sa mère de l'entre-baîllement de la porte pour savoir si son père est là. Comme sa mère répond par la négative, Éric se dépêche de boire son jus d'orange et file au lycée. Quelques secondes plus tard, Red lui fait le même numéro avant de s'installer pour prendre son petit déjeuner. Kitty trouve que la situation est absurde, Red doit parler à son fils. Mais son mari ne veut pas plier, il est même prêt à l'éviter jusqu'à ce qu'il parte pour l'université...dans un an !

Sous-sol des Forman

Jackie et Donna sont là. Kelso arrive et tout de suite, Jackie râle car il n'a toujours pas trouvé de travail et elle n'a pas de quoi s'acheter des produits de beauté. Le pauvre Kelso cherche et a même passé un entretien au « Cheese Palace ». Malheureusement, ils recherchent une fille. Donna fait comprendre à Jackie que c'est à elle de prendre ce travail mais Jackie refuse, elle n'est pas pauvre, elle est seulement riche et n'a pas d'argent. Kelso réussit à la faire changer d'aviser lorsqu'il lui fait remarquer qu'elle a un énorme point noir sur le visage.

Centre commercial

Jackie a réussi l'entretien et fait de la publicité pour le « Cheese Palace ». Elle est déguisée en petite savoyarde. Hyde, Kelso et Donna viennent la voir. Jackie en veut toujours à Kelso, surtout qu'il souhaite utiliser l'argent que Jackie va gagner pour s'acheter une télé-commande de voiture.

Sous-sol des Forman

Fez est avec Hyde et il rumine. Il veut prouver que Thomas est tout aussi ridicule que lui. Il imagine une situation où il s'apprête à sauter au-dessus d'un requin en faisant du ski nautique. Thomas est entouré de deux filles et la bande est là, prête à encourager Fez. Le jeune homme s'élance et réussit ; Thomas pleure. De retour à la réalité, Hyde explique à Fez que cette idée est complètement nulle.

Plus tard, Éric est avec Hyde et Kelso . Éric s'inquiète sérieusement de ce que son père peut faire. Kelso lui suggère de le piéger et de le faire fumer. Après tout, tout le monde le fait. Il imagine alors qu'ils font un cercle avec un Red hilare qui s'amuse avec de la chantilly. Éric est certain que ce plan ne fonctionnera pas. Encore une fois, Hyde insiste sur le fait qu'il ne se dénoncera pas et qu'il laissera son ami aller à l'école militaire.

Vista Cruiser

Thomas est avec Fez et Hyde. L'étudiant est ravi car il fait son premier « road trip » et que Fez lui a promis de l'emmener voir un lac célèbre. Hyde fait remarquer à Fez qu'ils approchent de la frontière du Michigan. Fez s'arrête et abandonne Thomas. Hyde est fier de son protégé, même s'il lui aurait tout simplement volé ses vêtements après qu'il soit entré dans le lac.

Centre commercial

Jackie travaille alors que Kelso et Donna arrivent. La jeune fille n'en peut plus, elle trouve qu'elle sent le fromage. Elle veut arrêter et rompre. C'est alors que son patron lui amène sa paie. Elle est ravie et décide de rester avec Kelso, qui lui réclame toujours sa télécommande. Elle refuse, elle a enfin compris que l'argent ne pousse pas sur les arbres et qu'on ne doit pas le dépenser n'importe comment. Elle commence à changer, ce qui plaît à Kelso et Donna.

Cuisine des Forman

Éric et Red entrent dans la cuisine en même temps. Ils veulent tout de suite repartir mais Kitty les arrête, elle leur demande de s'expliquer et les fait asseoir autour de la table. Comme aucun ne se décide, Kitty finit par expliquer ce qu'il s'est passé à son fils, qui est soulagé en apprenant que son père ne cherchait que des préservatifs. Red sent tout de suite que son fils cache quelque chose et Éric tente d'éluder ses questions. Red le punit, ainsi que Hyde, pour ce qui était caché dans le tiroir et qu'il n'a pas trouvé. Il se doute même que cela appartient à Hyde. Éric est content et s'en va. Kitty s'inquiète de savoir s'il y avait vraiment quelque chose de caché mais Red s'en fiche. Il a puni les garçons.

« Cheese Palace »

Jackie se plaint à son patron des taxes qu'on lui a prélevé sur son salaire. Elle ne le laisse pas parler et lui fait la liste de toutes ses exigences avant de s'en aller.

FORMAN KITCHEN

ERIC: Hey. L'Eggo my Eggo.

RED: Hey. L'Eggo my foot in your ass.

KITTY: Oh. Good morning. Oh, here, honey. I brought you something back from the hospital. A lollipop!

ERIC: Mom, I'm 17 years old.

KITTY: Which is why I also brought you condoms (Eric and Red groan). Well see, we had a teenage mom come in, and it's just… Well, you know, I worry about you.

ERIC: That I'll get pregnant? You're not a good nurse.

KITTY: Now don't be a porky mouth. Oh. Here. Sexual health pamphlets (Eric and Red groan). I just want you to know that intercourse is a responsibility, not just a right.

ERIC: Okay, well, this couldn't be more uncomfortable (he gets up to leave)

KITTY: Oh don't forget your condoms!

ERIC: I was wrong!

FORMAN BASEMENT

Eric and Kelso are looking at some records. Hyde comes out of his bedroom

HYDE: Hey man. Red's been spot-checking my room again. I can't believe he still doesn't trust me. You know, that really hurts, man. I'm gonna need you to hide my stash (he gives it to Eric)

ERIC: Sure. I'll put it in my dresser under my Hong Kong Phooey socks. He can protect anything, because he's faster than the human eye!

DONNA (coming in): You guys, the funniest thing just happened toJackie.

JACKIE: Michael the most horrible thing just happened to me. My father found out we're back together. And if we don't break up, he'll never give me any money ever again.

HYDE: Wait. If you break up with Kelso, you'll be rich? Talk about your win-win.

KELSO: Hold on. He didn't know we were dating?

DONNA: Here comes the best part. I mean the worst part.

JACKIE: My dad thinks you're a bad influence on me, so I kept our love a secret. And now I have to decide between you and money.

ERIC: Gosh. It's like Sophie's Choice for morons.

DONNA: Hey, let's take a poll. Who thinks Sophie should keep Kelso? (nobody does anything) The money? (they all raise their hand)

JACKIE: You guys, this isn't a joke.

HYDE: But it's funny like a joke.

JACKIE: How do I choose between something that makes my whole life complete and you?

KELSO: Well I don't know baby, but I love you.

JACKIE: Oh Michael, I love you too. Okay, I choose love. I choose love! (they hug)

KELSO: Aw!

JACKIE: Yeah aw! Okay. Now get a job, because I need a ton of money.

THE HUB

Hyde, Eric and Donna are sitting at a table. Fez walks in with a guy

FEZ: Guys I would like you to meet Point Place's new foreign exchange student, Tomas.

HYDE: Hey.

ERIC: What's up?

TOMAS (to Donna): Hello pretty lady with eyes like the sea.

DONNA: No. Which sea?

FEZ: Okay, easy there, Casa-new-guy. I'm showing Tomas the ropes.

TOMAS (to a girl that walks by): Hello.

FEZ: What, are you crazy? That's Nicole Mayzell. She's way out of our league.

TOMAS: Oh. Then we must be in different leagues because I just had sex with her last night.

HYDE: Oh-ho-ho! New foreign guy: uno. Old foreign guy: nada.

FEZ: This is outrageous! The closest I have come to sex was when the football team pinned me down in the shower and made me kiss my own ass!

ERIC: Hey um, if you think that's close to sex then you're gonna be delighted with actual sex.

DONNA: Yeah Tomas, you should stay away from the football team for a while. We wouldn't want a cutie like you to get hurt.

TOMAS: Oh the football team loves me. I'm their new placekicker!

FEZ: What? Oh the room is spinning! How did you do all this?

TOMAS: I have delightful accent.

FEZ: So do I.

TOMAS: Yes but a nerd with an accent is still a nerd. Now good day, sir.

FEZ (scoffing): I say ''good day.'' Now, good day.

TOMAS: Good day.

FEZ: Good day.

BOTH: I said, good day! (Tomas leaves)

FEZ: He stole that from me.

ERIC: But, Fez...

FEZ: I said, from me!

RED & KITTY’s BEDROOM

The radio is playing. Red and Kitty are in bed. Red reaches for something in his drawer

RED: Oh I'm out.

KITTY: Out? I am home one night this week and you're out?

RED: Hey don't look at me. You had a whole bag of'em, and you wasted 'em on Eric! He's probably down there making balloon animals.

KITTY: Well I guess we'll just sleep.

RED: Well couldn't we just, uh... You know, I mean, really, what are the chances?

KITTY: OH! We could have a change-of-life baby!

RED: Oh crap. I'll be right back.

ERIC’s BEDROOM

Red sneaks in and looks through the drawers. Eric and Hyde come in; all three of them stare guiltily at each other.

RED: It's late. We'll talk about this tomorrow (he leaves)

ERIC: Oh, my God. My sock drawer. I'm dead! He found your stash! Do you know what this means?

HYDE: Yeah. I get your room and you get sent to military school.

RED & KITTY’s BEDROOM

Red comes in, panting

RED: Eric caught me stealing his... things.

KITTY: Ahahahahaha!

RED: That's not funny. I'm a grown man. I don't go rummaging around in teenage boys' drawers looking for... things.

KITTY: Condoms.

RED: That word is forbidden!

KITTY: Okay. Good night (in his ear) Condoms.

RED: Quit it!

THE HUB

Tomas is sitting at a table with two girls, laughing. Fez and Hyde are watching from the side

TOMAS: I don't know. I've just always been good-looking.

FEZ: Look at that foreign bastard cracking up the whores.

HYDE: Checking the score. Old foreign guy: nada. New foreign guy: dos.

FEZ: Hey if I pretend to say something funny, will you laugh?

HYDE: No.

FEZ: That Tomas is shady. But have you noticed he never says what country he's from?

HYDE: What country are you from?

FEZ: What country are you from?

HYDE: America.

FEZ: Fine. Mystery solved.

FORMAN KITCHEN

Kitty is cooking.

ERIC (sticking his around the door): Psst. Mom. Is Dad around?

KITTY: No, I think he's upstairs.

Eric runs in, takes a sip of his orange juice and takes an freshly boiled egg

ERIC: Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot! Love you, Mom. Thanks for breakfast. See ya tonight. Bye.

RED (Sticking his head around the door): Psst! Kitty, Eric around?

KITTY: No. He just left.

RED: Perfect!

KITTY: Red, this is just silly. You can't avoid Eric forever.

RED: I know that.

KITTY: Well, good.

RED: I just have to avoid him till he goes to college. What's that like, a year? I can do that.

FORMAN BASEMENT

Donna is reading on the couch. Jackie is pacing around

KELSO (coming in): Hey.

JACKIE: Michael I'm broke. I had to buy generic hair conditioner. And now, I have split ends.

KELSO: Oh no one is gonna notice that, baby. They'll all be looking at that monster zit.

JACKIE: I have to ration my cover-up. So find a job already!

KELSO: I'm tryin', okay? It's tough out there. I just had an interview at that new store in the mall, the Cheese Palace.

DONNA: Where curd is king?

KELSO: The very same. They're hiring a new cheese maiden, you know, to hand out the samples. But I didn't get the job 'cause they want a girl.

DONNA: But you're pretty like a girl.

KELSO: Thank you! Man, but the manager wants an actual girl…. you know, with boobs and stuff.

DONNA: Hey, you know who's an actual girl with boobs and stuff?

JACKIE: Oh Donna, you don't have to get a job just for me.

DONNA: I was talking about you, pimple chin.

JACKIE: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I am not getting a job. A job is for poor people. I am a rich person who doesn't have money. Big diff.

KELSO: Hey, is that a blackhead?

JACKIE: No!

THE MALL

Jackie is handing out cheese samples

JACKIE: Cheddar? Cheddar? Cheddar? Try the Swiss. You can't miss. Try the cheddar! It's even better!

HYDE: The floor's real shiny and I see your heinie.

JACKIE: Oh!

HYDE: Hey! The cheese maiden hit me! Cheese guards, seize her!

JACKIE: My God, this job is awful!

DONNA: Are you sweating? I mean, is work making you sweat?

JACKIE: No. I'm glistening! It's glisten!

KELSO: Whatever it is... Yech!

JACKIE: Look, Michael the only reason I have this job is so that you and I can be together. All you've done for our love is sit in a basement eating Fritos.

KELSO: Well, for your information if I send in empty Frito bags I get a free remote-control car which I was gonna give to you after I played with it only a little. Now, that is love!

FORMAN BASEMENT

Hyde is sitting in his chair. Fez is pacing around

FEZ: Tomas! Tomas! Tomas! What I have to do is show everyone that I am cooler than Tomas. You know I once saw the Fonzie do something on TV that just might do the trick...

BEACH

Fez is wearing a leather jacket and a swim suit. The gang is standing behind him, also dressed in swim suits

FEZ: I am now going to jump over a shark on water skis to prove that I'm the coolest foreign exchange student in Point Place.

TOMAS: He'll never make it.

DONNA: Shut up. He can do it. He's the Fez!

FEZ: Okay here I go. Hit it!

We see Fez on waterski's and images of a shark under water

ERIC: Oh! He's crazy, man! He's crazy!

HYDE: He's at the ramp!

FEZ (jumping): Ay!

He "jumps" over the shark and the girls leave Tomas and walk over to Fez

ERIC: Yes! Fez!

HYDEL: Yeah, man!

JACKIE: You suck, Tomas!

Tomas is crying

ERIC: Fez, you jumped that shark, and you're not even wet.

FEZ: That's 'cause I'm cool-a-mundo. Ay!

FORMAN BASEMENT

FEZ: So, what do you think?

HYDE: Not only is that the worst idea I've ever heard it was the worst moment in television history.

FEZ: Yeah, you're right. I stopped watching after that episode. Tomas!

Later, Eric, Hyde and Kelso are hanging out at the basement

ERIC: This is freaky man. Red hasn't said anything about the stash which can only mean he's gone to the much-feared stage: beyond yelling. He's gone Darth Vader, man.

KELSO: Or... instead of Red snagging you maybe you snagged Red... dipping into Hyde's stash! I'm just sayin', everyone's tryin' it.

FORMAN BASEMENT – THE CIRCLE

HYDE: I guess Kelso's right. Everyone is trying it.

RED (with a bottle of whipped cream in his hand): I'm tellin' ya, this stuff isn't just for cakes. It's great all by itself (he sprays it in his mouth) Mmm! Wait, wait. Watch this (he sprays some on his head) Look at me. I'm Whipped-cream Head! Fear me! All fear Whipped-cream Head! Hahahahahahaha!  Mmm!

Back in the here and now...

ERIC: Kelso, that was delightful. But the only part you left out is where Red kills me!

HYDE: Forman, it was my stash. I don't wanna leave you hangin'. But I'm gonna. So good luck in military school.

THE VISTA CRUISER

Fez is driving. Hyde is in the front, Tomas is the back

TOMAS: How exciting! My first American road trip. I can't wait to see Lake Dill-hole.

FEZ: Well, the wait is over. We're here. Now hop out, you crazy son of a gun.

HYDE: This is the Michigan border.

FEZ: Well, what do you know.

TOMAS (outside the car): So where is Lake Dill-hole?

FEZ: Oh, it's right there behind the Get Bent Memorial. So get bent, dill-hole!

Fez drives off, leaving Tomas behind

FEZ: What's the score now? Oh, here we go. Fez: one. Tomas: stranded in Michigan! Oh, I kill me.

HYDE: Nice job.

FEZ: Thanks. I learned from the best.

HYDE: Thanks. I would've taken his clothes.

FEZ: That's why you're the king.

THE MALL

Jackie is still handing out samples

JACKIE: The Gouda's so good-a. The Havarti's a party!

KELSO: Hello, milady. ''Fondue'' you love me?

DONNA: Stop doing that! All day with this. ''Hey, 'fondue' me.'' ''Ooh, I stepped in 'fon-dog-due.'''

JACKIE: Oh my God. This is awful. Michael, a few minutes ago, I smelled stinky cheese... and it was me! Look I'm sorry. I love you, but I can't do this.

KELSO: You mean, you can't ''fondue'' it.

JACKIE: God, will you shut up! Look, I am not cut out for work. I'm cut out for having rich people give me things.

KELSO: But you got a job for me. I mean, doesn't that make you satisfied?

Jackie's boss hands her a check

JACKIE: Oh, my gosh! It's a check! And that's my name! Mine!

KELSO: So we can stay together!

JACKIE: Yeah, and I can still be rich!

KELSO: Yeah!

DONNA: Well if this isn't gonna go badly, I'm heading home.

KELSO: No wait. Jackie deserves a celebration. Hey, let's go buy me that remote-control car!

JACKIE: No, Michael. Money doesn't grow on trees (realizing) Money doesn't grow on trees! You know, I think having a job is changing me. Okay, think about it. A whole new me.

DONNA & KELSO: That'd be great.

FORMAN KITCHEN

Red is standing near the counter, so is Kitty. Eric walks in

ERIC & RED: I gotta... I'm gonna... (they try to leave)

KITTY: Okay, enough! You, sit.

ERIC: You can't make me join the army, okay? I'll cut off a toe!

RED: What?

KITTY: Okay, okay. We are just gonna clear the air. Right now. Now, Eric, the other night your father and I were getting intimate (Red and Eric groan) and we realized we didn't have any protection.

RED: For hugging. We just… We hug.

KITTY: So your dad went to your room looking for one of those condoms I gave you and you caught him, and he has just been so embarrassed ever since.

ERIC: Condoms? Oh! Condoms.

RED: Yeah, condoms. What did you think it was?

ERIC: What did you think it was?

RED & KITTY: What did you do?

ERIC: What did you do?..... I-I didn't do anything. Okay? You stole condoms! Get him, Mom.

RED: You're grounded.

KITTY: For a week.

RED: Hyde too. Whatever was in that drawer that you didn't want me to see, I'm sure it was his.

ERIC: Fine. No complaints here. Thank you (he leaves)

KITTY: You suppose there was actually something in that drawer he didn't want us to see?

RED: Who cares?

END CREDITS

CHEESE SHOP

Jackie is talking to her boss

JACKIE: I know in orientation we talked about theft in the workplace so I would like to report a theft from my check. Now, I don't know who FICA is but that bitch stole like 10% of my money. Also, now, I don't know if you have this key in your typewriter but when I write ''Jackie,'' I like to dot my ''I'' with a smiley face. Also now, I put this in the suggestion box, but… You have something hanging from your nose. Oh and I want Saturday off. Thank you. Bye.
