I am in a great mood.

Driver's Ed starts today,

and that means I'm inches away

from driving, cruising,

and better yet, parking.

Hi, Zack.

And speaking of parking... ooh.

Kelly, I got you a present.

A ring?

Zack, we're just dating.

I'm not ready to go steady.

I know that.

This is just a friendship ring,

'cause friendship is the boat

that happy people sail on.

You sound like a Hallmark card.

Well, that's where I read it.

That is so sweet. Is there

anything nice I can do for you?

Well, do the words,

"Lay a big one on me, baby,"

mean anything to you?

Yes, they do.

Why don't we start with this?

- Wow!

- You're welcome.

- What a kiss.

- Morning, Morris.

Morning, my love.

(sighs)

Screech, you don't have

to wear that for Driver's Ed.

I take driving very seriously.

Besides, it keeps the football team

from giving me noogies.

Slater, see that friendship ring

I gave Kelly?

From now on,

it's Kelly and Zack, exclusive.

I guess that means

more babes for us.

Yeah, right.

Ow!

Cheap Japanese helmet!

- (bell rings)

- Okay,

let's start

our engines of curiosity.

Vroom, vroom, vroom!

Screech, what is this?

A car.

Wrong. It's a responsibility

and a privilege.

You'll never drive unless you learn

to operate it correctly.

Come on, Mr. Tuttle,

any yo-yo can learn to drive.

And perhaps that's

why you're here, Mr. Morris.

Oh, ho, ho, I love hecklers.

Now, Jessie, what's the speed limit

on most freeways?

You know this one, you know

this one, you know this one.

55 miles per hour.

Excellent!

I wish you were my child!

Now, can you pass someone

over a double yellow line?

- Kelly.

- No, you can't.

This is why

I went into teaching!

Okay, Lisa, listen up.

Why do you put your left arm

straight out the window?

That's easy -- to dry your nails.

N-O, no.

It's to make a left turn.

Okay, time to drive forward!

Vroom, vroom, vroom.

Zack, what is the correct

driving position?

Well, sir, for me it's one hand on

the wheel, one arm around Kelly.

Zack!

Mr. Tuttle, sir, the correct

driving position

is the left hand at 10:00,

and the right hand at 2:00.

That way you'll have

full control of your car.

Mr. Slater,

my brain salutes you!

Teacher's pet.

But you're the one who belongs

on a leash, Mr. Morris.

My dad taught me

how to drive on an Army base.

Isn't that great?

Slater knows how to drive.

Big deal.

Yeah, my dad let me back the car

out of the garage once.

Then he got mad at me.

Well, Screech, your father

was probably nervous.

He had a right to be.

I forgot to open the garage door.

I hope he has dork insurance.

I'm serious, you gotta take

Driver's Ed seriously,

or you're not gonna

get your license.

- Don't sweat it.

- Hi, Kelly.

Hey, see the ring?

- Hi, Kelly.

- See the ring?

Zack, we are not going steady.

This is just a friendship ring.

- Hi, Zackie.

- See the ring?

Why's everybody so down?

None of us have

enough money for a car.

I'm gonna drive my father's

Porsche when I turn 16.

Slip into your PJ's baby,

'cause you're dreaming.

Hey guys,

I've got some great news.

Your last baby tooth fell out!

No, I just bought a car!

- Can we see it?

- Sure, come on over to the house.

You know, Slater, if I hadn't

gotten that ring for Kelly,

I could've bought a car.

Batteries or wind-up?

I just couldn't believe it

when I saw it on the lot.

It's exactly the car I wanted.

Well, what do you think?

It's...

nice.

Really nice... really.

Yeah, it's-- it's all Lisa said.

Gosh, it's got

a license plate holder, too.

Well, it's everything I hoped it

would be and more!

Well, Slater,

your Malibu Classic, my Valiant.

We know what kind

of wheels chicks dig.

Excuse me, little man,

but we are not chicks.

She's right, Screech.

Listen to the babe.

I'm not a babe.

And I respect that, Sugar Lips.

You can open up

a juice stand with this old lemon.

Listen, Preppie,

this baby's gonna look great

after I give it a little facelift.

Give me a break, the doctors who

worked on Michael Jackson

couldn't help this old heap.

- Give him a break, Zack.

- We'll help you wash it, Slater.

Well, that's it, finished.

This is so awesome.

I wish I had a car like this.

Don't worry, Kelly.

I'll be glad to take you wherever

you want to go -- all of you!

- All right!

- Lost cause, eh, Preppie?

So what's the big deal?

None of us can drive

until we're 16 anyway.

I've got seven months to find

an old junker and fix it up too.

- I can't wait to go for a ride.

- You won't have to wait long.

I turn 16 next week.

All:

All right!

Time out.

Slater doesn't know it,

but he's going to fail Driver's Ed.

Mr. Tuttle, can I see you?

Want to get an early start

on the wisecracks, eh, Mr. Morris?

No, sir.

Driver's Ed is an important class,

and I'm gonna take it

seriously from now on.

- Unlike Slater.

- Slater?

What about Slater?

He's my best student.

I know, sir, but he's become

too cocky about it.

And a cocky driver

is a reckless driver.

I find it hard to believe

that a fine young man

like AC Slater--

Well, sir, he's telling everyone

that he should teach the class.

That muscle-bound punk

said that?!

Well, pish-tosh, I'll show him!

Class, the only way

you can really learn how to drive

is to get behind the wheel.

Now, who wants to be first?

I would, Mr. Tuttle!

Eager to show off

are we, Mr. Slater?

You can wait your turn.

Miss Turtle, what's the first thing

we do when we get behind the wheel?

- Adjust the mirrors.

- Correct!

- And for what purpose?

- To check my make-up.

Miss Turtle, I suggest

you either study harder,

or start practicing

how to say, "Taxi!"

Screech, why don't you

start up the car?

Great. I can't wait.

(sighs)

Will you vacate the vehicle?!

Out!

Out, out, out!

Next, please.

Mr. Tuttle, can I try now?

Pushy, pushy,

move your tushy.

I know a hotshot like you will want

more of a challenge.
