ERIC: You weren't invited?

KELSO: [pauses] Well... I was going to go anyways.

ERIC: What?[looks at them] What's wrong with Donn'a cooking?

KELSO: [puts magazine down and stands up] I don't know Eric... EVERYTHING!

FEZ: She does make a mean chicken soup...

ERIC: See! Fez likes her cooking!

FEZ: Like it? Who said I like it?

ERIC: You did! You said it was a mean chicken soup.

[Hyde enters from door]

HYDE: Hey you guys. [he rumages through stuff in the basement]

ERIC: Hyde. What are you doing?

HYDE: I need to find something for Jackie. [comes in front of his chair] She has this whole fixation about how this is our first holiday together and we should celebrate it.

KELSO: So what do you have for her?

HYDE: [holding vase and old scarf] So far crap. [puts it down and sits down] What the hell am I doing?

KELSO: Well Hyde. Sorry to tell you this... [laughs] You're whipped!

ERIC: [laughs] That's so true!

HYDE: Shut up. I am not. If someone is whipped, she is.

KELSO: That's what I said... but you all knew Jackie controlled what we did. Even doing it!

ERIC: [nodds] That's true.

HYDE: Whatever. I'm not going to do anything. [relaxes] So what's for dinner?

ERIC: Bob's coming too.

RED: Ah damn. Don't I have anything to be thankful for?

ERIC: So Dad... are you okay with Donna cooking?

RED: Oh Eric. Quit being a man. Suck it up! Donna's cooking can't be that bad.
