Everyone knows what happens when you fall in love.
You hold each other close,
you kiss,
and then...
you live happily ever after.
For Winnie Cooper and me, "happily ever after" had arrived.
Hi...
Hi!
After years of waiting...We were ready to face the future, together.
Passing notes in class...
Sharing Tater-tots at lunch...being a couple.
It was all kinda...wonderful.
Well, I heard from Darlene Murphy that Johnny and Mary got back together.
No...really?
I heard from Susan Jacobs, that Darlene Murphy was lying...
And that Mary and Johnny didn't get back together.
No...really?
Kevin!
Well, I heard that Mary said that Johnny said...
Course, in eighth-grade, part of being a couple is doing what other couples do,
even if it was, well...kinda stupid.
Hey, you guys want to go to a movie Friday night?
- Sure! - Sure!
- Great! - Great!
And so long as we had each other, we were ready for anything.
Well, almost anything. Anything, but -
You guys want to come to a little party?
Robbie Hudson. RFK's answer to Hugh Hefner.
When Robbie spoke, everybody listened.
My house. Friday.
Us?
Hey! You guys are the new couples in school.
And my parties are couples-only.
What do you say?
You have to understand... This guy was no ordinary ninth-grader.
His parties made reputations.
We'd love to come, wouldn't we?
Count me in!
Pfeiffer, right?
- Carla Healey, right? - Right!
Groovy.
Of course they are! All the other couples are going...
Groovy!
Groovy.
I can't believe he invited us, can you? Isn't this amazing?
Of course!
It was quite an honor.
There was just...one little detail.
Isn't that the party where they...
Where they what?
Nothing.
You mean, where they make out?
Bingo!
Craig!
Well, what's the big deal?
You two make out, don't you?
And that was the one little detail.
Of course we do.
There, of course we did - I knew we did!
We just hadn't yet...in real life.
Well, then...you're going to love Robbie Hudson's.
- See, he's got this room downstairs...And, uh... - We get the picture, Hobson!
Great, then it's settled.
What could we say, except -
- Ho-kay... - Ho-kay...
Hey, I mean, everybody else was going.
Even Paul and Carla.
You rat!
You want to go?
I mean, since they're not going?
I'm not sure. Do you?
Well, I mean, I would, it's just, you know,Paul might feel left out.
That's true, that wouldn't be very nice.
Good! So we weren't going.
It's just...I guess everyone expects us to show up.
Well, that's true.
We don't want to disappoint them!
So, we were going.
It's just...
We kinda promised Paul and Carla that we'd go to the movies with them Friday.
Yeah! That's right!
OK, we weren't going.
Hey guys, guess what! Carla changed her mind.
Now we can all go together!
What are you wearing?
And the issue was settled. Or rather, it was settled for us.
But really, what was there to say?
We were a couple, and couples made out. Especially at -
Robbie Hudson's?
Uh-oh.
You got invited to a...Robbie Hudson party?
Wayne!
Who's Robbie Hudson?
"Who's Robbie Hudson?" Well, let's see, uh, how to put this...
He's no-one. He's just a guy in school - a ninth-grader.
Oh, well...that's nice! And he's having a party?
Yeah, Friday night. And I need a ride, alright?
We wouldn't by any chance be taking little Win-nie, would we?
Wayne!
Of course he's taking Winnie. They're a couple. Right honey?
Little did she know.
I'm sure we can arrange something.
So. You sure you're up for this?
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing. Just want to be absolutely certain...you know what your getting into.
Oh, come on, Wayne, it's just a party.
Of course.
Of course. Just a party!
Still, there was that guy last year, he went down into Hudson's basement...
didn't know how to French kiss.
Got the breathing all wrong!
Uhhhhhhhhhh!
Suffocated.
But I'm sure you'll have better luck! Hahahahah!
Great.
Nothing like a little advice from the master.
Who did he think I was, anyway?
The horny toad.
A voracious predator. Devouring the innocent...
The harmless...the defenseless.
So..Friday night, huh, guys? It's gonna be great!
Uh-huh. Great!
Look out, little angel.
You know, Winnie, we really haven't talked about this.
Talked about what?
The party.
I mean...do you really want to go?
I said I did. Don't you?
Well...I guess so.
What do you mean - "I guess so"?
Well I mean -
OK, this was getting out of hand. I mean, weren't we on the same side, here?
I just want to do what you want to do.
Then you're saying you don't want to go?
Oops!
No!
I don't know...Lets's just go and get it over with!
"Get it over with"? What did she mean by that?
What are you saying?!
It's just that, everyone expects us to go, so, we should go!
So...we're going...
If you think we should.
Y'I do.
Then we should go.
Fine. Then we'll go.
- Great! - Great!
So we finally agreed. That's a couple.
Ready or not, we were on our way to makeout central.
Note how the tongue darts like lightning.
Flick!
Yeah! This was gonna be some fun.
Everyone knows what happens after you've said you're going to a Robbie Hudson make-out party.
Hi.
You kinda stop talking to each other.
Winnie and I were still a couple.
The funny thing is, even though we were as close as ever...
Winnie!
We'd never been so far apart.
Still, we were going to that party. It was...expected of us.
And really, what was the big deal?
It's not like there was anything to feel guilty about, here.
Hi Mr. Coop-
So, I hear you taking my little Gwendolyn to a make-out party! Arggggh!
Evening, Kevin!
Hi, Mr. Cooper.
Hi!
She looked so beautiful I wanted to kiss her.
Until I remembered I had to.
Ahem. Hadn't you two...better get started?
Oh...yeah.
Bye, Daddy!
Have a nice time.
Easy for him to say.
Well nothing to do but - get through this with our dignity intact.
Uh-huh! It was kinda like going to an execution, or a funeral, or...
A church social.
This was what we'd been worrying about?
Look who's here. Hey guys!
Hey...man.
You guys party. I'm just getting some cookies.
Cookies?
My mom made them. She's upstairs with my dad, so hang loose!
Uh, yeah.
Hang loose to you, too.
It was almost laughable!
Hey, guys! Isn't this great?
Twister?!
Oh, come on, Winnie. You mean you've never played Twister?
Well, once. I almost broke my ankle.
You did?
Yeah. See.
My left foot was on yellow, and my right foot was on blue.
And then they called red, and I turned like this.
And suddenly, the pressure was gone.
Suddenly, Winnie and I were just having fun.
We were a couple again.
¢ÝYou know you make me wanna (Shout!)¢Ý "Shout" sung by Isley Bros
¢ÝKick my heels up and (Shout!)¢Ý
¢ÝThrow my hands up and (Shout!)¢Ý
¢ÝThrow my head back and (Shout!)¢Ý
¢ÝCome on now¢Ý
¢ÝDon't forget to say you will¢Ý
¢ÝDon't forget to say Yeah, yeah, yeah (Say you will)¢Ý
¢ÝSay it right now, baby (Say you will)¢Ý
¢ÝWell, come on, come on (Say you will)¢Ý
¢ÝSay that you (Say you wil)¢Ý
This was like every other eigth-grade party we'd ever been to.
With cookies...and punch. And Twister, and -
Total darkness!
Party time!
I kept hoping a fuse had blown, especially when I saw that -
Spotlight!
But something told me this was no electrical problem.
Round and round she goes, where she stops - nobody knows.
Let'see now. Who's it gonna be?
You thirsty?
Yeah.
I think there's some water upstairs.
Bingo!
Funny, I'd never won anything before in my life.
Arnold and Cooper!
You know the rules...into the make-out room!
Come on, guys.
This way...to heaven.
And suddenly Winnie was holding my hand so tightly...
It could only mean one thing.
Do you...?
OK...
Groovy.
I think there's a beanbag over here.
You...comfortable?
Yeah...
Well, cuz, if you're not, I can get another beanbag...
No, that's OK.
Well, this was...nice.
Kinda like - waiting for a bus.
Music's nice!
Yeah.
Come on, guys! Don't take all night!
I kept thinking that this was no big deal.
That if we really belonged together, one of us would make the first move.
And then she did.
Everyone was watching. I had to say something clever.
I guess my kisses have that effect on her.
Now, now. Come on, don't be so sensitive, Kev. I mean, it's not the end of the world, is it?
Think of it this way, uh - you and the Coopster can always be...
good friends. Hahahah! Oooh-ooh! Heheheheh...
I hated Wayne. Worse - I hated myself.
For taking Winnie to that party. For actually believing that she and I -
Still, there it was - the cold reality.
The thing is we'd come so far, and now we'd lost each other.
Maybe forever.
Please, please, please! Don't let this be one of those dreams where I can't get the window open!
Can you come out? Please?
Nope. This was no dream.
Let me put some pants on.
What are you doing here?
I don't know...
Oh.
Can we just walk?
OK.
I guess I knew what was gonna happen - she was gonna tell me she hated me.
You must really hate me!
What?!
For making you go to that party!
Well...
I hated being in there with you.
I know.
It was awful.
Then why'd you go with me?!
Look, Winnie, let's just make it easy on ourselves. I mean there's no sense in -
I really hated it.
Winnie, why are you saying this?
Not that I really had to ask - it was all pretty clear now.
Because you're my boyfriend.
Oh!
Who else am I gonna say it to?
Well, there was a certain logic to that.
So I'm your boyfriend.
Except...you hated being there with me.
Do I have that right?
And you hated being there with me, because you didn't want to kiss me.
Do I have that right?
I did want to kiss you.
Just not then.
Well then when?!
I guess maybe that's when I first realized...
That love was gonna be much more complicated.
And much...more simple...
Than I'd ever dreamed.
