FORMAN KITCHEN
(Red is sitting at the table reading the paper and drinking coffee. Kitty walks in)
Red: Well how are you this morning ?
Kitty: Well, my baby boy is still engaged, my hot flashes are back so I feel like I am standing in a pool of burning lava. They don’t make a pill for menopause so I took a Flintstone vitamin. And when you take a pill shaped like Barney Rubble it’s pretty obvious the frickin’ thing ain’t gonna work.
Red: Great. Anyway about the engagement, I’ve got Eric and Donna on the ropes. I dared them to get married next week. They were shaking like France.
Kitty: Well I know you like scaring children but what’s the point ?
Red: Well the point is if we let them do what they want, they’ll realize they don’t want to do it. I mean hell nobody wants to be married. (Kitty gives him a look) Except me to you, I’d do that all over again.
(Jackie walks in through the back door)
Jackie: Is Steven here ? He saw me on the couch with Michael but there was nothing going on. God what do I do If he doesn’t believe me Mr. Forman?
(Jackie hugs him. Then he looks shocked)
Red: When the hell did this start? The kids all used to run from me, that’s the way I liked it!
(Jackie moans and walks out)
Kitty: Well next fall you’ll get your wish. Eric will be in college and then the whole house will (voice cracks) be empty.
Red: That’s right! We’re only one goodbye away from heaven.
[Laurie walks into the kitchen with a suitcase]
Laurie: Mommy, daddy, I’m home!
Red: We gotta start locking that door!
HOTEL
[Kelso is walking up to take a room service tray away. When he starts to push it, he stops looks around and then grabs a piece of chicken and starts eating it. While he is eating Hyde walks out of a room. The nurse walks out after him they kiss and he leaves. Kelso sees all of this.]
Kelso: No way!
[He walks off, then comes back and grabs the chicken.]
DONNA’S ROOM
[Kelso peaks in says Donna’s name. He then walks in and looks around, in her closet, then sits down on her bed. Donna is at her desk.]
Kelso: Okay, if you had bad news that could hurt someone you cared about, what would you do?
Donna: Kelso, just leave the poor girl an anonymous note and tell her she needs a shot of penicillin.
Kelso: Donna! Listen okay. Someone I know cheated on someone else I know
Donna: Did Eric cheat on me? I will snap that little monkey like a twig.
Kelso: No Donna. Eric didn’t cheat on you. (whispers) Hyde cheated on Jackie!
Donna: What? Oh my god!
(Kelso makes a noise I can’t describe)
Kelso: He doesn’t know it but I saw him kissing this lady at the hotel.
Donna: Oh my god that is horrible.
Kelso: I wanna do the right thing, right? So I’m thinking that I’ll just tell Jackie and then she’ll feel really bad, then I’ll console her and presto, were making out topless!
Donna: No Kelso! The thing to do is to tell Hyde that you know and then give him a chance to tell Jackie.
Kelso: I knew you’d say that. Ya know for once I want the right thing and the topless thing to be the same thing.

Eric: Yeah, no thanks! Last time I trusted you I wound up in the dryer with a pillowcase full of bees so…
Laurie: I know, and I am so sorry. I have been cruel to you Eric. You too Donna but it wasn’t as obvious because I mostly said stuff behind your back.
Donna: Right back atch ya!

Fez: You’re sorry? You should see me kitchen! There spices everywhere, its anarchy.
Mitch: Dude, you’re getting hysterical like a woman.
Fez: Well if you mean that I am artistic and sensitive and cry everything I watch “Love Story” then yes I am like a women. Now be gone!
Mitch: You know I could make it worth your wild if you just give me the license. I’m the editor of the school paper, can you imagine this heading? ‘Foreign kid actually cool.’ Of course I’d have to retract it the next day because, well c’mon.
(Fez rips up his application)
Fez: Here’s a headline for ya. Short kid takes long walk!
(Fez grabs the ‘Next Window Please’ sign and sinks down under the desk.)
[Cut to basement, Hyde is sitting in his chair watching TV. Kelso walk in.]
Kelso: Well hello Hyde. Saw something very interesting in the hotel this morning!
Hyde: Oh the guy in the dress? That’s Frank, comes in twice a month, gets really pissed if you don’t call him lady Laguna.
Kelso: No. I saw you kissing a girl that wasn’t Jackie.
Hyde: Oh that.
Kelso: So you admit it
Hyde: Sure
Kelso: Don’t try to deny it
Hyde: I won’t
Kelso: You’re not gonna wiggle your way out of this one.
Hyde: I’m not trying to. Look, I cheated on Jackie, because she cheated on me with you. Which reminds me I outta kick your ass!
Kelso: Hyde, we weren’t doing anything, I already told you Jackie was comforting me cuz I was upset cuz Fez had a sex dream about me.
Hyde: Would you shut up about that lame ass story?
Kelso: Well it’s the truth and I’ll prove it. Let’s go ask Fez.
Hyde: Fine!
Kelso: You drive my van is in the shop.
Hyde: Fine I need gas though!
Kelso: Fine can I borrow money for fries?

Ya know what we’re gonna do? We’re gonna teach Red a lesson and get married out of spite. Yeah screw you Red!

(Fez is in the hub when Mitch walks up to him)
Fez: Oh, hello Mitch! Have a nice walk over here? Get used to it because you will never get a license, do you understand me?
Mitch: No, but nobody understands you. You talk like Mushmouth from Fat Albert.
Fez: You just dug your own grave fellow!
Mitch: I what, I flug my own rave Bella? Was that what you said Mushmouth?
(Kelso storms in with Hyde behind him)
Kelso: Fez I need you to tell Hyde that dream you had about me?
(Mitch looks at Kelso intrigued)
Fez: What? I didn’t have any dream! (whispers) We have a visitor!
Kelso: Fez this is really important, okay. So start talking or so help me I’ll give you the worst purple nurple you’ve ever had.
Fez: Okay. In my dream Kelso was dressed as a nurse and he was giving me a sponge bath.
(Mitch looks like he struck gold, Kelso looks back at Hyde who looks neutral)
Kelso: And…
Fez: I was nude…
(Mitch looks very interested and realization sinks into Hyde’s face)
Kelso: See? I was really freaked out and Jackie and me were just talking and that’s all.
Hyde: So I just cheated on Jackie for nothing?
Kelso: That’s what I’ve been telling you man.
(Kelso walks out and Jackie walks in)
Jackie: Oh Steven look okay! Whatever you think happened between Michael and me did not happen, okay? So everything’s fine.
(Hyde looks sad and glum)
Hyde: Actually we need to talk.
(He grabs her by the hand and they walk out)
[Cut to Mitch and Fez]
Mitch: Ya know I really hate to run, but I gotta tell the whole school about you and little Ms. Dingaling’s sponge bath so I gotta go!
Fez: You wouldn’t!

Jackie: And what?
(She is giving him a mean look and he looks really sorry)
Hyde: And I’m really sorry okay. I promise it’ll never happen again.
Jackie: That’s exactly what Michael used to say!
Hyde: C’mon Jackie-
Jackie: No, ya know what Steven, I’m sorry. It’s over.
(She gets out of the car and walks away. Hyde sits there with a numb look on his face and turns the radio on. It’s a country music station.)

(Bob, Red and Kitty leave.)
Laurie: So you guys, I’ve been trying to think of ways to help you.
Eric: Okay, where’s Laurie!!!
Donna: Yeah, what happened to you?
Laurie: You guys living in Chicago opened my eyes. I had no job no friends. I did sleep with one of the White Sox but then it turned out to be just his frat guy in a White Sox hat. Basically I hit rock bottom.
Eric: Really, god I was so sure you’d be a Senator.
Laurie: Eric, love is hard to find and I realize that I’ve been taking the people that love me for granted, especially you.
Eric: Oh that’s not true, I don’t love you.
Laurie: Yes you do!
(She gives him a hug)
Laurie: If you two love each other and Red is making you miserable, than there’s only one answer. Get out, leave town because love is precious.
Eric: Well it sounds good, but I can’t help but remember the feel of being stung by bees as I tumbled around and around.
Donna: Wait, is that a tear? Oh my God Eric I think she’s being sincere.

Donna: Can I say something? I think this whole thing was a misunderstanding. Hyde didn’t know what was going on.
Jackie: I know, okay? But after Michael I promised myself that I would never be with another boy who cheated on me.
Donna: But Hyde’s so good for you. Since you started dating him you’ve completely stopped quoting Nancy Drew.
Jackie: And the worst part is I still love him.
Donna: Well…
(Jackie puts her head on Donna’s shoulder and starts crying she pulls back)
