SINCE I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU (season finale for season five)
Fade In Foreman's basement. Jackie and Hyde.
Hyde sits alone on the couch watching television. Jackie enters and joins him.
Jackie: Steven, I have terrible news.
Hyde: What did you run out of shampoo?
Jackie: (Gives him a horrified look) No! It's much more serious then that. My mom's back.
Hyde: That's not too bad. Your house won't be so lonely anymore.
Jackie: No it's horrible news. Steven she wants to move to another town. Someplace where no one will know about my dad.
She starts to cry and throws her arms around his neck.
Jackie (cont'd): Steven what are we going to do?
Hyde just holds her in his arms.
Foreman's kitchen. Eric and Donna.
Eric and Donna sit at the kitchen table.
Eric: Donna I don't know how much more abuse I can take from Red. He keeps calling me a dumbass for getting engaged so early.
Donna takes a hold of his hand.
Donna: You can hold on a little longer can't you? We're going to be going to college soon and then you're out of this house for good.
Eric: Not if I can't afford it. I have no job, Red's threatening to not pay for school, and there's no way our parents are going to help out with the wedding.
Donna: Eric I don't need an expensive wedding. You know that.
Eric (frustrated): But I want you to have the perfect wedding. You deserve the best.
Donna: Just being with you will make it perfect. (She kisses him) Eric, let's elope.
Eric (shocked): Are you serious?
Donna: Of course I am! We want to be together forever right? So let's get married!
Eric: You know what? You're right. That'll show them all how serious we are! We don't need their money or their approval!
Donna (nervously): So we're going to do it?
Eric: Yeah! Let's get married!
Eric and Donna kiss and take off for the driveway. ROLL OPENING CREDITS
The Hub. Fez and Kelso.
Kelso: So I've made a decision Fez. I think Jackie and I should start seeing other people.
Fez rolls his eyes: Oh that's very big of you. Have you told her the bad news yet? I'm sure she'll be real heart broken.
Kelso (clearly not getting it): No, but I'm sure in time she'll get over me. Anyway, that's not the whole reason I wanted you to meet me here. I need you help with something.
Fez: Kelso I'm flattered, I really am. But I don't think Nina would understand.
Kelso: What are you talking about Fez?
Fez: (caught) Nothing! What are you talking about? Heh.
Kelso just looks at Fez confused.
Wedding Chapel. Eric and Donna.
Donna and Eric arrive at tacky wedding chapel, taking a look around. A tall muscular man walks up to them, wearing an awful outfit.
Chuck: Greetings. My name is Chuck and I own this chapel. Can I help you?
Donna: (excitedly) We're here to get married!
Chuck: Well then you've come to the right place! We have a variety of different options for you to choose from. For instance, would you be interested in a Star Wars theme? The bride marches out to the Death Star theme and I dress up as Obi Wan Kenobi.
Eric: (eyes bug out) A Star Wars wedding? That'd be perfect! Donna: (rolls her eyes) Eric I'm not getting married in a galaxy far far away. Got it?
Eric: You always put down what I like! (Off her glare) We'll just take a traditional ceremony.
Chuck: Whatever man. But I think you'd make a killer Luke Skywalker.
Eric: Did you hear that Donna? ME, Luke Skywalker.
Donna: (getting angry) NO
Eric slumps his shoulders in defeat.
Chuck: Okay then, we have an opening in two hours. Should I put you down for that?
Donna: Yeah whatever.
Chuck leaves them alone. They look around.
Eric: This is great and all but I have an idea that will make this a whole lot better. (Gets up and leaves room)
Foreman's basement. Fez and Kelso
Kelso and Fez sit on the Foreman's couch.
Kelso: Okay Fez, this is what I need your help with. I need your help figuring out where I went wrong with all my chicks.
Fez: Oh that's easy, you're a male slut.
Kelso: Fez! I want to figure out why I cheated and how I can make sure that my next relationship doesn't end up the same way.
Fez: Well you can start by not being such an idiot.
Kelso punches Fez in the shoulder
Fez (cont'd): Ah! Why did you hit me? (Off Kelso's look) Fine, we'll work on your stupid relationship problems. Why'd you first go out with Jackie?
Kelso: Cause she was hot
Fez: Laurie?
Kelso: She's hot
Fez: (sighs) And Annette?
Kelso: Because she's really hot.
Fez: (snaps) Did you actually like any of them?
Kelso: I like Jackie
Fez: But at first did you like her?
Kelso: Oh hell no. But she was hot so what could I do?
Fez just shakes his head in disbelief.
Forman's Kitchen. Hyde and Jackie.
Jackie: Steven what are we going to do?
Hyde: There's nothing we can do. You're moving and that's it.
Jackie: That's it? After as long as we've been together all you can say is that's it?
Hyde: Look; we both knew this wouldn't last forever. Let's just cut our losses.
Jackie's mouth drops open. Her face looks like her heart's breaking. Before, she can say anything the phone rings. Hyde answers it.
Hyde: Hello? Oh, hey Eric. (Loudly) You're what? Yeah Jackie and I will be there. Don't worry.
Hyde hangs up and takes Jackie's hands, pulling her towards the door.
Jackie: Steven, I'm not going anywhere. I want to talk about this.
Hyde: We can talk about this later. That was Eric. He and Donna are eloping and want us there for the ceremony.
They exit.
Kitty's head pops in from the living room. She overheard everything.
Kitty: Oh my God!
CUT TO COMMERCIAL
Foreman Living Room. Kitty, Red, and Bob.
Bob: Kitty are you sure you overheard right? They really ran off to get married?
Kitty: (crying) Red, our little boy is getting married and we're not there!
Bob: (sobbing uncontrollably) I always dreamed I would walk my Donna down the aisle.
Bob throws himself at Red, giving him a hug.
Red: (looks uncomfortable) I'll kill them for this.
Hyde's car. Jackie and Hyde
Jackie is staring straight ahead, obviously upset.
Hyde: So.. Can you believe Eric and Donna are getting married? Those two are nuts!
Jackie: (Angrily) At least they fight for their love! You just give up!
Hyde: Me? I'm not the one who's leaving. I thought you were different, but you just like the rest of them.
Jackie: What do you mean? What are you talking about?
Hyde: Everyone I love leaves, and you're no different.
Jackie: (face softens) Steven, I am different. I don't want to leave.
She slides over to be next to him, cuddling in his arm.
Jackie (cont'd): (Looking up at him) I want to be with you.
Hyde: (looking relieved) You do?
Jackie: Of course I do! I love you!
Hyde: Then we'll work something out. I don't what, but we will.
Jackie smiles and kisses his check.
Foreman's basement. Kelso and Fez.
Kelso: So what you're saying is I should get to know the girl before I do her? That if I actually like her, the relationship could work?
Fez: Yes! You moron!
Kelso: And all this time I've been thinking looks were the only thing that mattered. What a fool I am!
Fez: That's what I keep telling you!
Chapel. Eric and Donna.
Eric and Donna both look nervous.
Eric: So, here we are.
Donna: Yep.
Eric: We're getting married.
Donna: Yep. (Long Pause) Eric are you sue we're doing this for the right reasons?
Eric: We both love each other. What other reason is there?
Donna: We aren't just doing this to get back at our parents?
Eric: No! This was your idea in the first place!
Donna: I know, it's just; I always wanted to get married with all our friends and family there, not like this. Certainly not with Chuck there.
Eric: Are you saying you want to wait?
Donna: (looks uncomfortable) Yes.
Eric: (relieved) Thank god. Me too!
They both run out of the chapel.
Chapel. Hyde and Jackie.
Hyde and Jackie enter the chapel where they run into Chuck.
Hyde: We're here for the Foreman ceremony.
Chuck: Are you friends of theirs?
Hyde: Yeah. Where are they?
Chuck: They took off. Didn't go through with it. But since you're their friends I'm sure you won't mind paying their bill.
Hyde: What are you talking about? You said they didn't go through with it.
Chuck: If I only charged people who went through with it, I'd be out of business. Now pay up!
Hyde: We're not paying for a ceremony that didn't happen!
Chuck: (angrily gets in Hyde's face. He could clearly take Hyde) Look pal, you can watch me perform a ceremony to help you feel like you're getting your money's woth but either way, I'm getting paid!
Hyde: Uh.. Jackie would you pay the man?
Jackie: (nervously) Do you take check?
Foreman's living room. Everyone.
Donna and Eric enter living room.
Eric, Kelso, Bob, Kitty, and Red: Congratulations!
Donna: (confused) For what?
Kelso: For getting married!
Eric and Donna hold hands.
Eric: We didn't go through with it. We decided to wait until after college.
Kitty: Oh thank god! (Runs to hug Eric, Bob hugs Donna)
Red: Do you idiots have any idea how worried you made us all? (Glares at Eric) Bob cried!
Eric: Sorry dad.
Red: (softening) Well, I'm glad you decided to wait.
Just then Hyde and Jackie burst through the front door. They're hugging and smiling, clearly they've made up.
Jackie: You won't believe what happened!
Fez: Ohhh. I love mysteries.
Donna: What happened Jackie?
Jackie kisses Hyde and squeals: We got married!
Roll End Credits!
