Eric is sitting on the back of the sofa

Donna is standing up talking to him

Fez is sitting on the other side of the sofa also on a chair.

FEZ: Do you think we should have a party?

DONNA: where?

FEZ: Anywhere as long as it has toast

(DONNA laughs)

JACKIE: Fez, does your life revolve around toast.

(Fez stands up)

FEZ: No my sweet princess, my life revolves around you, Whore.

(KELSO stands up and is about to hit FEZ, when LAURIE and another girl come down the stairs.)

LAURIE: Watcha doing losers

FEZ: Who is the Groovy whore?

LAURIE: This is Jess.

JESS: Hi

LAURIE: She will be staying with us for a while, Eric, and I don't want to think that you or any of you friends will trouble her while she is here.

KELSO: Hi Laurie

LAURIE: Hello Michael

(KELSO looks smitten; JACKIE punches him in the arm!)

KELSO: Ow!

LAURE:  Jess I'm just going up stairs to get the wash stuff you coming?

JESS: Na' I'll stay down here and talk to your brother and his friends.

LAURIE: Mmm ok!

(LAURIE walks back up the stairs.)

HYDE: Why are you staying here?

JESS: Well because, my house is being redecorated and my mom and dad said I could stay here.

HYDE: How do you know Laurie?

JESS: We met at a party, ages ago, we go shopping and everything now!

HYDE: How old are you?

JESS: Sixteen

ERIC: That's a year younger than us!

JESS: So!

DONNA: Then why are you hanging out with Laurie?

ERIC: Yeah Laurie is…

FEZ:  A groovy Whore!

(Whole room laughs)

JACKIE: doesn't she ever get on your nerves?

JESS: Ohh Yeah!

(Room laughs again)

ERIC:  Well if you don't like her then why are you staying with her?

JESS: Got nowhere else to stay

DONNA: You're a strange girl!

ERIC: But you think my sister is annoying so we like ya!

JESS: Yeah!

JACKIE: Want to hang with us later?
