Saved by the Bell: The College Years

[dramatic music on TV ♪]

It never fails.

I've seen "Love Story"

seven times,

and I always lose it.

Wait a minute,

it's-it's already over?

Yeah, you missed

the deathbed scene.

Oh, who died?

Ali MacGraw.

Aw, geez, I didn't even know

she was sick.

[sniffling] I hope I look

that good when I die.

You don't look that good now.

That was the saddest movie

I have ever seen!

Next time, we rent

a Steven Seagal film.

People don't just die

in his movies, they explode.

Slater, you are so insensitive.

Come on, now, I'm as

sensitive as the next guy.

I just think it's dumb for a guy

to cry over a mushy little film.

Right Mike?

[crying]

What?

Oh, come here, you big gallute.

There's no shame in a man

showing his feminine side.

Hey, I don't have

a feminine side.

Even if I did, it'd...

...be really... macho.

So, who wants to go out

and grab a pizza?

- I do.

- All right, let's go.

Hey, Kel, you comin'?

Yeah, well, we-we could

go out for pizza, or...

...we could stay here

and be alone.

Talk about a no-brainer.

I don't see why you're so upset.

So, I don't wanna go

to the stupid car show with you.

It's not just the

car show, Alex.

You never wanna do anything

that I wanna do.

I went to all those dumb

football games, didn't I?

You had to.

You were the mascot.

Still counts.

You know, if she won't

go with you to the car show,

I will.

Oh...

- Aren't you in my history class?

- Yeah!

- You like cars?

- Are you kidding?

I hear they have

a cherry '59 Vet there.

It's got a 283 cubic inch V8.

- My name's A.C. Slater.

- Christy.

So, uh, what do you say?

You wanna ride with

me to the car show?

Well, I dunno. You see, uh,

Alex and I are sorta...

you know, goin' out.

Does Alex have a '67 Mustang?

Alex who?

Please.

Another moment of that, and I'm

going to have to have a cigarette.

Kelly, dear, I have

some wonderful news for you.

As the administrator of

the Semester on the Sea program,

I'm here to inform you

that you have been accepted.

Well, how could that be?

I thought I was rejected

for the program.

I know, but a couple of people

have dropped out.

The ship sails Tuesday.

That is, if you'd still

like to go.

Uh, Dean McMann, we really

appreciate your interest,

but I think I speak

for Kelly when I say--

I'd love to.

And by the way,

I speak for Kelly.

[chuckles]

Honey, you can't be serious.

I mean, the Semester

on the Sea program,

that means you'll be

on the sea... for a semester.

And you're only a freshman?!

Look, Zack, this is a chance for

me to cruise the Mediterranean,

I mean, to see the Pyramids,

the Parthenon, the Coliseum.

Well, that's great,

but what about me?

Gee, you can see the

Mediterranean on a cruise ship,

or East Oakland on a moped.

Tough choice!

- I had a great time, Slater.

- Yeah, me too.

I've never met a girl who

knows so much about cars.

Boy, I would love to

take you home to Mom.

- [giggling] Really?

- Yeah.

She's got a Falcon

that needs a lube job.

Any time.

Yeah, well, I... guess

I'd better say goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight, Slater.

Call me.

Uh, I was just coming back

from my study group, and...

I didn't see anything.

Uh, what exactly didn't you see?

I didn't see...

what you weren't doing,

scum!

Listen, listen, listen,

this is not what you think.

Oh, really?

'Cause I think you were

kissing another woman

while your girlfriend is

downstairs baking you cookies.

[knock on door]

Yep?

- Professor Lasky.

- Hey, Zack.

Hi, there.

I just came by to tell you how much

I enjoyed your lecture this morning.

That's really amazing, considering

you slept through the whole thing.

I wasn't sleeping, I had my eyes

closed in intense concentration.

You were drooling on your desk.

I was merely salivating over

your incredible insight into...

- 14th Century religious icons?

- Exactly.

Oh, I was discussing

pygmy mating rituals.

Shoot, I slept through that?

What do you want, Zack?

Honestly, I just need a

recommendation from a professor

so I can go on the

Semester on the Sea program.

Oh.

Man, I'd love to,

but a student I recommended

yesterday beat ya to it.

Oh. Well, I...

...don't suppose you could

tell me who the student is.

No, Zack.

I'm not gonna have you con

some gullible student into not going.

[laughing]

Oh, sir, please, I'm offended.

Besides, I'm sure

whoever the student is,

he's far too bright

to fall for anything like that.

Ship ahoy!

- Hi, Zack.

- Hey.

Professor Lasky, I wanted to

thank you for your recommendation.

My pleasure.

Let me get your papers.

Oh, good.

Mm, now let's see.

Screech, who's my oldest friend,

or...

...Kelly on the lido deck

in a string bikini?

Talk about another no-brainer.

Here he comes.

Okay, Stingray,

here's your 20 bucks, man.

Now, remember, make it scary.

Scary... Cool.

Stingray, what brings you here?

I come as a friend, man.

I don't think you should go

on that sea thing.

I heard they had a

shark attack last time out.

Oh, now, Stingray,

Screech is committed to going.

I'm sure a couple little sharks

aren't gonna scare him.

Speak for yourself!

I wanna hear this

Stingray, what happened?

Some student dude fell

overboard playin' volleyball.

He got eaten alive

by some major chompers.

Well, I don't play volleyball.

I don't play any sports.

Guess I'm safe.

Uh, Stingray, you know,

the way you told me the story,

wasn't that guy playin' with his

Mr. Potato Head collection?

Playing with

his Mr. Potato Head?

That could be me!

Me too.

[door closes]

Slater, we can't keep

avoiding each other.

We have to talk about

what I saw.

No, we don't.

You can't just ignore it

and hope it'll go away.

Hey, somethin' works for me,

I stick with it.

Look, it was a mistake.

The last thing I wanna do

is hurt Alex, Leslie,

it's just that Christy and I

have so much in common.

Slater, Alex is my friend and you are

putting me in a very awkward position.

Okay, okay.

I promise I'll talk to Alex

about it the first chance I get.

[door closes]

Talk to me about what?

Okay... fine...

...here it is.

Alex, I went to

the car show with...

...someone other than you.

Who?

- Chris--

- Tea--

No thanks,

I'm drinkin' orange juice.
