Hello?? Oh, hey Bob.
Oh, hi Red.
Stop it! You know what might make this party a little more fun? Sweet death.
Hyde! Fez! MICHAEL!! Oh good, its Hyde, Fez, and Michael.
Hello fellas, whats to eat? Are these melon balls for anyone? Why are they here? I invited them because youre always discussing manners and I wanted to be mannerly.
Hes mannerly.
Hey Chuck! Oh no, Chucks here.
Why? Why Michael? Why would invite all these people? Why would you do this? Well, I was thinking that if a party with 10 people was fun, then a party with 30 people would be twice as much fun.
Michael, I didnt want twice as much fun, I wanted a small, classy party.
Jackie, just because theres a couple more people doesnt mean it cant still be classy.
TIMMY: Hey everybody, Im taking off my pants!! No hair? None well, a little.
Well what are we talking about here Red? Is it Ed Asner bald or Charlie Brown bald? Geez Kitty, I dont know.
I barely looked.
Ok I need a visual aid.
It was so uncomfortable.
I mean, a toupee is a pretty big lie, Kitty.
Ok here, show me on Wooly Willy.
Uh huh, ok, uh huh Really?? Hey, hey, would it kill you to use a coaster? Bunch of wild hooligans here.
Oh, sorry Red.
Well, you know, it was gonna leave a ring.
Thats so true Kitty.
Eric, look this isnt your house.
You arent going to get in trouble for any of this so loosen up.
Yeah, I guess I could do that.
Oh my god, its like Im seeing colors Ive never seen before.
Hey Kat, want a beer? KAT: No thanks She just blew me off man? Do you believe that? Yes I do.
I really, really do.
Michael, are they drinking out of my parents crystal? Yeah Jackie, they were trying to drink straight from the bottle and I said No, no, use the crystal, cause its classy.
Michael Im going to go upstairs and feel sorry for myself and you, you are gonna fix this.
Fix it? Jackie, youre having the party of the year here.
Damn, I do not get women! Yes, neither does Hyde, right Hyde? You ok? Donna please, I really dont want to talk about Michael.
Ok, so what is your honest opinion about Michael? Umm, by honest you mean Donna, please learn to listen.
Ok fine, honestly, you have certain expectations of Kelso that may not be entirely realistic.
You want him to be sophisticated and smart, but actually hes unsophisticated and unsmart.
RANDOM GUY: Hey you guys are really bringing down the make out room.
Well, Im gonna have to pass, Ive got nothing.
Would you look at her Fez, acting like shes hot stuff? So shes really good looking and everyone likes her, Im real impressed.
Yeah, I know how it is.
You think you know somebody, but then it turns out he lied about making out with Kat Peterson.
Hyde! Fez! What is this a funeral? Why arent you guys getting down? Well my friend, Hyde is way too lovesick to get down.
Love sick? I dont love her man.
I just think we should be having sex and all because shed enjoy it.
Hyde, Im not a doctor, but I play one on TV.
But seriously Hyde, this is a party, so loosen up Like me, whoopsie daisy! Man, I wish Jackie would loosen up.
Shes throwing a great party down here and shes missing it.

Yeah, so you did something horrible, but its Jackie, so who cares? No wait, what are you saying? Im saying you burned her man, royally.
Nice job.
But no, man, I didnt want to burn her.
I invited all these people to make it fun, so the party would be good.
She didnt want a good party, she wanted her party.
You know what? Youre right Fez.
Alright, this partys over.
Everybody out! No, Kelso, what are you saying man? Think! You know what guys? For the first time in my life, I think I am thinking.
You know Im in danger of ruining the greatest thing thats ever happened to me and I am not going to let that happen.
Kelso Do not interrupt me, this is important! From now on, Im going to put Jackies needs first and shes going to be so proud of me! Whoa! WHOA MAN, THIS IS A RAGER! Give me your brandies.
WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! God, how dare you say that about me and Michael!? Jackie, you wanted my honest opinion.

Every morning I wake up wishing I had the courage to walk around looking like you.
But I dont, Red.
