Oh, yo, pats, keep an eye on my guy.|I gotta hit the little girl's room.
All right. Hurry up.
Air!
- Guess what.|- What?
You're taking me to|the Columbus Day Dance on the 16th.
- I am?|- Yep.
Well, what about Barbara?|I thought she was your best friend.
Well, she is.|But, I mean, you know.
Friends share their stuff with friends.|You know what I mean?
Sure, friend. No problem.
I bet you're a really sexy dancer.
Oh, yes, you won that wager. I have|moves that defy the laws of gravity.
Ooh, I'll bet you do.
I'll see you later, okay?
Bye.
Dancer.
Moves. Sh*t.
So... how was he?
Hmph. Wouldn't you like to know?
Don't worry. I will.
I bet you're a really sexy dancer.
Oh, come on. Watch this.|I bet he'll kick him.

Chuck? Chuck, I need|the TV for a few minutes.
- No.|- Oh, Chuck, I just need to see the end of American Bandstand.
No.
please, Chuck, I'm beggin' ya.
What we have here is something I just|learned called the law of supply and demand.
I shall supply you this remote control,|but I'm going to demand, say, uh, two bucks.
Wrong! That is not how|the economic theory works.
Look, I learned it|in seventh grade, not Harvard.
Okay, let me give you|the theory of relativity.
Either you put on Bandstand now,|or I have one less relative.
I'll put on Bandstand just for you.
First screen shaves...
Spotlight dance. Ultra New Wave music.
He's watchin' American Bandstand.
I'm talkin' cheerleaders,|football players, local socialites.
He's not even associating|with Kenneth anymore.
Come on, Chuckie. I think it's|groovy that he's makin' new friends.
- He's allowed to have fun.|- He is?
- And, besides, I was talkin' to Ma, Dad.|- Oh, honey.
It's like the dude's|not weird anymore.
Now that ain't Dick Clark.
We thank our two exchange|students from Lower Swahili,
Charles Kibangi and Sandy Ubuki, for|recreating the African anteater ritual...
here on pBS African Cultural Hour.
African Cultural Hour?
Ow!

#Oh, baby #
# You know just what to do #
So do you work as hard|off the field as you do on?
Well, uh, I did letter|in three indoor sports.
What a wonderful group|of young adults we have this year.
But I better check the bathrooms.
One, two, three, four.
- Hello, Ronald.|- Oh, hi, Mr. Webbly.
- Let's mingle.|Look, it's the nerd herd.
Whoo!
Ronnie, you're|becoming a punchaholic.
Come on. Let's get out there and|dance. I mean, this is a dance.
It's what we're here to do,|right, is dance?
Come on, please.|Let's get out there and boogie.
- Let's dance!|Wait for me!
All right!
# Eyes with mystery|A lonely girl so alone #
Whoo!
##I've been living|all my life ##
## To meet a girl like you ##
##I could touch you|really nice ##
# While the fire|came in the room #
# All night, all night #
- What a spaz.|- Oh, he must be in Special Ed.
##All night, all night ##
That's bizarre.
But if the Ronster's doin' it,|it must be new.
##So strong##
- ##I've been waiting|all my life ##
## Wanting a girl like you ##
##I could touch you many nights ##
## While fire surrounds the moon ##
##All night, all night ##
Try it!
# All night, all night #
##Ooh, ooh, ooh... ohh ##

Whoo!
Yeah!
Ow!
## While fire surrounds|the moon ##
- Hey!|- It's the African anteater ritual!
All right!
- Oh, I had a great time.|- Out of sight.
Hey, that dance was|pretty severe there.
Yeah, where'd you|get those hot moves?
- I have friends in exotic places.|- Oh, yeah, like where?
- I'll be right back.|- Rio?
- paris?|- No, really exotic. Beautiful downtown Burbank.
- Cind, babe!|- Here you go.
Look, the name is Cindy,|and don't call me babe.
- Just wanted to say hello.|- Then just say it!
Why don't you get tranquil?|I was just tryin' to be friendly.
Why don't you be friendly|with your flock, okay?
- I owe all my friends to you.|- Ha! Like I really want credit for this.
I mean, your disciples|are making fools of themselves.
I mean, I've seen zombies|with more individuality.
Yeah, like your college boy.|What's his name? Biff?
Don't give me that.|His name happens to be Brent.
There's a difference?
## Take your lover by the hand|Speak in tongues and understand ##
##Ahhh ##
Alone at last.
##French kissin'|in the U.S.A.##
- Hi, friend.|- Hi.
You're awfully far away.
I'm sorry.
So, tell me...
are, um... are you into|long-distance relationships?
- No.|- No?
Then why don't you reach out|and touch someone?
Hello.
I happen to know|that in the whole school...
there's only one other tittie|quite this pretty.
- Really?|- Mm-hmm.
And this is it.
Yep! That's it.
I bet you've never|seen two like these before.
Well, my parents do have cable.
- Oh, they do, do they?|- Mm-hmm.
- Mmm. Don't you want to touch me?|- Oh!
Oh!|Wow! I can't believe this.
Oh, God!
Seventeen years,|three months and five days.
That's a long time|to wait for some tit.
Without an atmosphere...
the Earth would be|a far different place.
It might look like the moon.
Our exploration of the moon showed us|that it is nearly a dead planet today.
But it provided one very|important piece of information.
I haven't seen or heard|from you in three weeks.
I'm not a mutant, Ron.|I realize I may be obsolete...
in your new world,|but I'm not dead.
We know nowthat the moon, as well as all|the other bodies in the solar system...
were heavily bombarded|in their first billion years.
- Then about three-and-a-half|billion years ago...
this bombardment slowed to a bare|trickle as most of the solid chunk...
You got it there, son?
Whoa, oh, oh, Ronald!|No mischief tonight.
Nowthe police are really|crackin'down this year.
Oh, Dad, come on.|Have a little faith.
See ya.
- All right, we set up there?|- Yep.
Check it out.|We got spoilt tomatoes...
- Yeah.|- rotten eggs and the piece de resistance.
- The shitbomb!|- Ha! Human feces?
No, doggy doo. But it's just|as efficient, bro. Here, sniff.
- Ah, sniff this... God!|Hey, Ronnie.
- Here you go.|- Whose house are we doin'?
Ah, dig, classic, man.
We have done the same house|four years in a row.
- It's like tradition now, huh, Ricky?|- You know it!
And yours, son, is|the most important mission.
Drop that net on any punk|that gets near our front door.
