Congratulations,

A.C. Slater.

Now, tell me, how does it

feel to be city wrestling champ?

Pretty darn good, Zack,

but not as good

as it's gonna feel next week

when I win the

state championship.

♪ A.C. Slater,

he's first rate ♪

♪ Today the city,

next week state ♪

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Now, Slater, tell me.

How does it feel to totally

humiliate Valley's champ?

Pretty darn good, Zack.

♪ They set you up

with the best they had ♪

♪ You pounced 'em,

trounced 'em, beat 'em up bad ♪

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Any final words

before we sign off?

I'd like to thank Coach Sanski

and my teammates for their support,

and even though he couldn't

be here, I'd like to thank my dad.

♪ Zippity, zappity,

piffity, paddy ♪

♪ He's so straight,

he thanked his daddy ♪

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

This has been Zack Morris

for KKTY Sports.

Next week, a special report on

cheerleaders who need to get a life.

Hey, you're looking good

in that miniskirt, mama.

Why don't you go bite

a stray dog?

I'm only a cheerleader because it

looks good on my college application.

Have you heard anything yet?

No. Colleges don't usually tell you

if you're accepted until next week.

Not true.

I already got accepted

to four schools.

Emerson, USC, Clemson--

I applied to Harvard,

Yale, and Columbia.

Ivy League schools are more

careful about who they accept.

Then I guess some crazed

gardener cut down the Ivy at Princeton,

'cause I got in there, too.

Princeton accepted you and

I haven't heard anything yet?

I need junk food quick.

Give me those fries.

Relax. At least you can

afford those colleges.

I'm going to community

college and getting a job.

Besides, pigging out will only

get you a curly tail and a snout.

- Oink, oink.

- Oink, oink.

Don't give me attitude just because

you already got into the Fashion Institute.

I know how you feel.

I haven't heard from

any of my schools, either.

What did you do? Apply to the

places with the best-looking girls?

How did you know?

I also applied to the schools

with the best beaches--

Hawaii, Miami, and Tahiti Tech.

Man, I don't believe it.

That's Jeff Tramer,

the wrestling coach

from the University of Iowa.

Wonder what he's doing here.

It is a restaurant.

Maybe he's hungry.

Duh!

Iowa is the best wresting

school in the country.

Maybe he's here

about my application.

Slater, colleges

accept people in person as well.

A.C.,

I'm Jeff Tramer.

I'm here to offer you a full wrestling

scholarship to the University of Iowa.

Well, what do you say?

Huh? Oh, I say great.

Thank you.

I'll put that paperwork

in the mail tomorrow.

See you in September.

You'll love Iowa.

Congratulations.

Iowa. The land of

farmers' daughters.

Yeah.

Well done, Slater.

What a day.

City champ, now Iowa.

I can't wait to tell my father.

Hey, preppy, come with me so

you can tell him how good I was.

OK.

See you guys at

the bowling alley later.

Not me.

Last time we went,

some biker shoved

his fingers up my nose

and used my head

as a bowling ball.

Man, it hurts when

you get a strike.

Down and give me 20!

1, 2...

I hate when you

do that, A.C.

Hey, Dad, I'm just

getting you back

for all the times you

woke me up with your bugle.

- Hi, son.

- Hey, Dad.

Good to see you, Private Morris.

Yo, Major Slater.

Being all you can be?

Careful, soldier.

So, Dad, when'd you get back?

Just got in.

Sorry I had to miss

your big wrestling match.

- How'd you do?

- Oh, he did great.

Slater pinned that boy

in 10 seconds.

Shut up, Preppie.

I creamed him.

That's my boy.

Son, I've got great news.

Oh, wait, I've got

some good news, too.

Uh-uh. I outrank you.

Me first.

Tomorrow, 1200 hours, you have an

interview with Congressman Shepherd

for possible entry to the

West Point Military Academy.

West Point?

Oh, that's great, Dad.

Just great.

I knew you'd be thrilled.

You're worth it, soldier.

Slater, come on.

Tell him.

Iowa?

Iowa?

Oh, sure.

That's good news?

Is to me.

[telephone rings]

Major Slater.

Uh-huh.

Oh, I see.

All right.

I'll be right over.

What's the matter?

My C.O. went AWOL

with a G.I. From the P.X.

I got to go ASAP.

See you, A.C.

OK.

You guys sound

like an eye chart.

Why didn't you tell him about

your wrestling scholarship?

Zack, it's always been his

dream for me to be in the army.

Hey, you do not

want to be in the army.

You'd look stupid

with a crew cut.

I know.

I want to go to Iowa.

Don't worry.

I'll get you out of this.

Jesse, what are you doing eating

potato chips at 9:00 in the morning?

Oh, no. Did another school

reject you?

Only Yale. Who

wants to go there?

Stupid school.

I haven't heard from

my first choice, either,

but I got accepted

to three more:

Duke, Cal-tech,

and the Barbizon School

for Modeling.

You, a fashion model?

Fashion model?

I thought the School for Modeling was

where you put together plastic airplanes.

Forget this.

A.C., thank you for coming.

I'll be in touch.

Jessie, where were you?

We missed you at lunch.

I went home to check the mail

for more acceptance letters.

Did you hear from

another school?

Yes.

I guess that means

you didn't get in.

You're a zit ready to happen.

I'm sorry, Jessie. What

school dumped you this time?

Only Harvard. I didn't

want to go there anyway.

Don't give up. You still

haven't heard about Columbia.

Forget it. I'm doomed.

I'm going to end up snapping my

gum behind the counter at McDonald's.

Great. Just today, I was accepted

to a Hamburger University.

Maybe I'll be your McBoss.

Hey, Slater.

Slater, how was your interview?

How would he know?

He wasn't there.

Well, it was, uh...

Hey, Slater, congratulations.

[bell rings]

Congratulations.

All right. Thanks.

OK, it was wrong not

to be honest with my dad.

I didn't know how he'd take it.

I'll go talk to him.

Hey, I'm glad we had this talk.

Now go ahead and make me proud.

Hi, Dad.

Well?
