I had a wonderful time, Zack.

That movie really got to me.

You're the only one who cried

when Ernest went to jail.

I wasn't the only one,

Vern was crying, too.

Well, good night, Zack.

Kelly, I've never felt this way

about a girl before, and--

Yes?

Would you go steady with me?

Wow! I don't know what to say.

Say "good night!"

It's past her curfew.

Shouldn't your cute

little brother be in bed?

He's just trying to protect

his big sister.

I'm gonna tell Dad!

Hey, Kyle,

wanna live till tomorrow?

So, what's your answer?

Going together is a big decision.

Let me sleep on it, okay? 'Night!

Kelly! No good night kiss?!

Take a hike, dork!

Screech, what are you doing?

Cramming!

We've got school physicals today,

and this year

I don't want to come in last.

Some people get strange when

it's time to see "Nurse Butcher."

Not me, I'm in perfect health!

I eat properly, exercise daily,

get the right amount of rest.

You sound like

a commercial for oat bran.

What's your problem, Bubba?

Look, I don't like

school physicals, okay?

Why? What's so bad

about school physicals?

Well, I hate to miss class!

You don't need a physical,

you need a mental.

Zack:

Morning, everybody!

- Screech:
11... 12...

- Zack:
How are you doing, Screech?

What are you so happy about,

Preppie?

Oh, nothing.

Just that I expect to be going

with the most beautiful girl

in school by the end of the day.

- Have you asked Kelly yet?

- Yes, I did.

If your head swells any more,

they're gonna have to drain it.

This is so hot!

I have to spread it all over school.

Don't forget to use a shovel.

- (bell rings)

- Time to jump!

Excuse me.

Could you direct me

to the nurse's office?

That way!

I'll see a sign.

Thank you.

You're cute.

Really cute.

You're welcome!

- Well, you can talk.

- Well, ture I can shalk.

I mean, sure I can talk.

Are you new here?

It's my first day.

I'm Jennifer, and I'm late.

I'm Zack,

and I'm in love.

Good morning, class.

Good morning, Miss Simpson.

In my day, a class would respond

when a teacher

wished them good morning.

All right, let's begin.

You were all supposed

to write a poem.

Now, who would like

to recite first?

I would, Miss Simpson.

Well then,

since there are no volunteers,

I shall select someone.

Mr. Screech,

will you honor us with your verse?

This is called:

"When Morning Comes."

- "When morning comes I raise my--

- You may begin when ready.

"When morning comes

I raise my head,

Shut off the alarm

and get out of bed,

I brush my teeth like mother said,

and always feed my spider Ted."

Thrilling, Mr. Screech.

I wanted to get my lizard Oscar in,

but I couldn't find a rhyme.

The time?

Oh, it's 9:
30.

Now, who will be next?

Miss Turtle?

"Ode to the Mall."

"So many stores

all in one place,

It brings a big smile

to my face..."

Zack, let's talk after class,

I have an answer for you.

"I love to hop

from shop to shop,

And buy and buy

until I drop."

Lovely, Miss Turtle.

I like the Rocky Mountains, too.

Good morning, students,

this is your principal,

and fearless leader

Mr. Belding.

(class sighs)

Thank you.

This week will be your annual

physicals and flu shots.

Now to calm any fears you may have

about taking these shots,

I'm going to take one myself

to demonstrate to all of you

that they are totally painless.

Nurse Butcher, if you please.

(screams)

Well, personally,

I like the old school cheer better.

Miss Kapowski, would you take us

back to the world of poetry?

My poem is called:

"That Special Someone."

"Those eyes so warm,

that smile so bright,

I think about him

day and night..."

"The cutest guy I'll ever see,

Oh lucky, lucky,

lucky me!"

This is Mr. Belding again.

(groans)

Will, Jessie Spano,

Larry Plisskin, and Zack Morris

please report

to the nurse's office.

Oh, people, please.

Miss Kapowski's poem

wasn't that bad.

D-E-F-P-O-T-E-C.

I'm sorry, young lady,

I think you need glasses.

Glasses?!

Do you want me to look like

a four-eyed frog face?

- Ribbit.

- Nurse Butcher!

Report to my office immediately!

My arm is throbbing.

What a wimp!

So, Jessie, how did it go?

Zack, do you think guys

like girls who wear glasses?

- No way!

- Well, who asked you?

Zack Morris?

- I remember you.

- You're a nurse?

Yes, I'll be taking over

for Nurse Butcher

when she retires next month.

I'm assisting her

with the physicals.

Zack, are you feeling all right?

Suddenly, I'm very weak.

Your pulse is racing.

Would you like to sit down?

Oh, no!

I prefer being held.

I know, you're worried

about the needles.

Don't worry, nobody likes shots.

Trust me,

when this is all over with,

you are going to feel much better.

But if you don't, you stop by

and see me anytime, all right?

- Really?

- Sure.

How's that feel?

Wonderful!

Please do it again.

I don't know why Zack's physical

is taking so long?

Kelly! I know he asked you

to go with him.

Is the answer yes?

Well, you can't tell Zack, but--

Oh, my!

What a moment!

What a thrill!

First the Berlin Wall comes down,

then the Brady Bunch comes back,

and now Zack and Kelly

are going steady!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

Only in America!

Zack!

This is the happiest moment

of my life! Congratulations!

You weren't supposed to tell him.

(hisses)

Well, I guess you know the answer.

It's yes.

That's great, Kel.

So what was the question?

Oh, come on, it's no big deal.

One of you just write,

"Our family doctor has already given

AC his flu shot.

Thanks anyway,

Mrs. Loretta Slater."

Slater, that's not only lying,

that's forgery.

The captain of the wrestling team

afraid of a little needle?

Don't mention that word.

I can't even watch my mother knit.

Slater, I've got real problems to

worry about, okay? My eyes are bad.

Yeah, well the rest of you

makes up for it, Mama.

Lisa, Jessie,

I need to talk to you both, now!
