[Jackie walks into Eric's basement]

Jackie: Donna, I need to talk to you

Donna: Oh God....I mean, what's wrong, Jackie?

Jackie: Steven canceled our date again, for the third time this week because he has to work. Why did Leo have to leave?

Donna: I don't know, Jackie...I thought you said that you would support Hyde with this

Jackie: Yeah until he started canceling dates.

Donna: Well, maybe you should visit him or something, and talk....to him.

Jackie: Hey, yeah, come on let's go to the Holiday Hotel.

Donna: I never said that we should visit him...but ok I'll come

Jackie: Ok great. But how are we going to get there? I usually make him drive me everywhere.

Donna: Maybe I can get Eric to loan me the Vista Cruiser.

Jackie: Hey, yeah, and wear your catholic girl uniform cause maybe he'll throw in gas money.

Donna: (laughs) Sounds like a plan....

Fez: While you are out can you get me some candy?

Donna: Yeah sure, Fez. Whatever...

Jackie: (walks up stairs) Come on, Donna!

Donna: (yells up the stairs) I'm coming!!

Jackie: [runs into Eric] Just the guy we are looking for.

Eric: Whatever it is Jackie...the answer's no. (Walks past her)

Kitty: Well Eric, that's no way to treat your friends.

Jackie: Yeah, you haven't even heard what I was about to ask you.

Donna: Yeah, bad Eric....we just wanted to know if you could loan us your car to go see Hyde.

Eric: You guys are going down to the restaurant? Can I make fun of Hyde's uniform...Please, please, please?

Jackie: You can make fun of it all you want, but to I don't think you'll live much longer after it.

Eric (cringes): OK, just take the keys.Be careful, with my baby. (The girls leave the kitchen)

[At Hyde's work]

Hyde: so when did you start working here?

Tracy: Just a couple of weeks ago...I just moved from Maine.

Hyde: Yeah? Cool, but why did you move here? There's nothing but dairy farms across the state.

Tracy: (smiles) Well, my Nana has been really sick so I volunteered to come out here and take care of her.

Waiter: Hyde, you got some company.

Hyde: Be right back. [Hyde walks out of the kitchen] Hyde: Hey.

Donna: Hey, Hyde. This place is amazing.... (Looks around)

Jackie: Steven, we need to talk, you can't just cancel our dates over some stupid job! You never had to before.

Hyde: That's because I worked at the Fotohut before.

Jackie: Donna, aren't I right?

Donna: (Stops gazing around the room) Huh? What? Yeah, yeah Jackie.

Jackie: See, even Donna agrees with me. Hyde: Jackie, you can't just come in here every time you're mad. I have to work so I can take you out.

Jackie: Donna, you were wrong. I shouldn't have talked to Steven about this.

Donna: I'm sorry Jackie...I'm just not great at advice that's forced out of me.

Jackie: And who's that working with you in the kitchen? Have you been canceling all our dates to hang out with her?

Hyde: What? I just met her today. Look Jackie, I need to go back to work.

Jackie: Come on Donna! (Storms off)

Donna: O...K... We'll see you later, Hyde.

Hyde: Bye.

[Back in the kitchen]

Hyde: God, she never shuts up.

Tracy: Who never shuts up?

Hyde: My girlfriend.

Tracy: Oh...so who's the lucky girl?

Hyde: Jackie Burkhart.

Tracy: No way...you're dating a cheerleader?

Hyde: Yeah, I never thought I would.

Tracy: Well, even though we just met...Well, I wouldn't have thought that either...

Hyde: Yeah, she's always whining about something. Steven, you keep canceling our dates. Steven, Fez is watching. Steven, you're snoring too loud.

Tracy: And you're still with her? Must be love....

Hyde: Yeah. Love. If you believe in that stuff.

Tracy: So, how long have you two been going out?

Hyde: A couple of months.

Tracy: Well, what's the problem?

Hyde: I have to work and she doesn't like that.

T: Well, this is career training...haven't you explained that to her?

H: See, I used to have a job and I didn't really have to go in to work, but now since that's over with and I had to get a new job, and I can't take off when ever she wants me to. So she has a hissy fit.

T: OK, well, I guess I understand that she wants to spend time with you...Maybe you could make it up to her somehow.

H: Like how?

T: Well...How about I help you make her an "I'm sorry" dinner?

H: Maybe, but it's got to look expensive. other wise she won't eat it.

T: Don't worry about that, I've got it covered.

Hyde: Cool, thanks.

T: that's what co-apprentices are for.

[Back in the basement]

Jackie: Donna, what is wrong with him?

Donna: Maybe he was just nervous about doing well at his new job and didn't need the distraction.

J: He's been really distance lately.

D: Jackie, don't worry...Hyde wouldn't jeopardize your relationship for something that wasn't important.

[Kelso walks in]

Kelso: Guess what?

J: You have VD?

K: Nope. I got a job!

J: Who would hire you?

K: Holiday Hotel Restaurant.

Jackie: You're going to work in the same place as Steven?

Kelso: Yeah.

Eric: Well, won't that be interesting?

Fez: No, Eric it's going to be horrible.

Donna: So, what are you actually doing there?

Kelso: I'm going to be a waiter

Eric: Hey cool, does that mean we get free drinks?

Jackie: No, it means we will get our orders messed up.

Donna: Or water spilled down our backs...

Jackie: Hey, now we don't have to tip!

Eric: Two of our guys in the same restaurant...those people don't know how to run a business.

Kelso: You should see my uniform, it shows off my hot body.

Donna: Whatever, Kelso. You can't just goof around on a job like that

Kelso: Come on, I'm what they call man pretty.

Eric: Yeah, sure...So when do you start?

Kelso: Tomorrow.

Eric: That's interesting....because Donna and I have reservations there tomorrow night.

Donna: We do?

Jackie: Since when? Donna's supposed to sleep over my house tomorrow

Eric: Too bad...change of plans.

Donna: Hey, Jackie why don't you come with us?

Jackie: Ok, this should be funny.

Eric: I don't believe this...I guess you want to come too, Fez

Fez: Count me in!

Donna: Well, I've got some homework to do...but I guess I'll see you tomorrow night, Eric. Jackie, you want to come over for a while?

Jackie: Yeah, sure.

Fez: Are you going to have a pillow fight?

Donna: No Fez.

Fez: Then why are you going over to Donna's, Jackie? Jackie: So we can talk.

Donna: Yeah, so we can talk...Bye guys.

Fez: Why can't Fez be in girl talk?

Kelso: Because you're a guy.

Eric: Brilliant deduction, Kelso.

Kelso: And see you guys call me stupid.

[Hyde walks into the basement]

Kelso: Hey Hyde, guess what?

Hyde: What?

Kelso: I'm working at the Holiday Hotel Restaurant.

H: What?! Are you kidding me?

Kelso: I'm going to be a waiter

H: I guess they'll hire anybody.

F: So how was work today?

H: Surprisingly good...considering I had actual work to do. My partner for the work study is Tracy Weatherly and she's pretty cool.

Kelso: Is she hot?

H: Kelso, that's not what I'm there for...but she is kind of cute.

Kelso: Now I can't wait to work there!

Eric: She's new isn't she? I think she's in my Math class now

Kelso: I hate math class.

H: You hate every class...yet you still do better than me.

F: Don't you need to know math to be a waiter?

Eric: I'm pretty sure you do...

Kelso: So...

F: So, you're going to be a fool, whore. (Hyde and Eric laugh)

Hyde: Well, Tracy's helping me make dinner for Jackie on Saturday

F: Oh, can you introduce me to Tracy?

H: Yeah sure, Fez...but she's a nice girl, so try not to scare her

F: How can I scare her? I am suave, I am silky. I'm not scary.

K: Hey man, I heard of her first, I get to be introduced to her first.

H: Man, you'll be working with her...

K: That's right

F: Damn, there is no justice!

E: Well I guess we'll all get to meet Tracy tomorrow night

H: Why?

Fez: We are going to dinner at the hotel.

K: And Jackie's gonna come too. Damn, she's going to ruin everything with me and Tracy.

H: And how, pray tell, is she going to do that?

F: Kelso, you don't even know Tracy yet.

K: Damn it guys, I'm a good looking fella, and she'll be flocking to me.

H: Are you guys going to try to get me fired? OK...here's the rule...Nobody hits on Hyde's work partner.

F: Sounds like Hyde has a crush on his work partner.

K: Yeah. Otherwise he wouldn't care if we hit on her.

Eric: Come on, Hyde...you can tell us...

F: Hyde has got a girlfriend and it's not Jackie!!!

H: I don't have a crush on her....You guys can just get bent, alright?

K: He likes her because he's denying it.

E: Kelso, where is all this genius stuff coming from?

K: My brain is working today or something.

F: Well something new happens to you each day

H: You know what? You guys can do whatever you want...just don't make her regret it

F: Well, some one is crabby today.

H: Shut up, Fez

K: why don't you Hyde, don't take it out on Fez. You know how he gets upset and he starts to cry.

F: I don't cry.

E: Yes, you do.

Fez: No I don't!

H: You know what Tracy told me today? That she used to be a cheerleader...a gymnast/cheerleader...

K: Dude, this girl is going to be perfect for me; she's just as flexible as Jackie, but cooler.

E: Have you told Jackie about Tracy? I'm sure she wouldn't be pleased that you have that kind of information.

H: I just met her today...but it doesn't matter what I know about her...Jackie can't tell me who to be friends with.

K: Dude, when I became friends with Pam Macy, even on the first day Jackie got mad at me.

H: That's because everyone's "friends" with Pam Macy?

F: I, sadly, am not.

E: Don't worry, Fez...You have Nina.

F: But I don't like Nina. I really want to dump her now. After we did it she was no longer fun to be around at all.

H: The pressures of sex are many...but the joys make up for it.

K: Yeah, I dumped Jackie because she was just to annoying after we did it.

H: (snogs Kelso) Hey man, that's my girlfriend that you're talking about.

K: Yeah, but I had her first.

(Hyde snogs him again and they fall to the floor)

K: hey that's my eye!

E: It's good to see those two on good terms again.

F: If that's good terms, I would hate to see them on bad.

{End of Scene}

[Fez, Donna, and Jackie come in through the kitchen door]

Kitty: So, what are you kids up to tonight?

Donna: We're going to visit Hyde and Kelso at work.

Kitty: Oh, Michael isn't a model anymore? That's too bad. That job was made for him.

Red: What restaurant would be nuts enough to hire him?

F: One that Red and Kitty wouldn't eat at?

E: Hey Dad, could I borrow some gas money?

Kitty: Eric, does your father ever give you gas money?

Eric: Oh yeah...everybody... the driver needs gas money.

Jackie: I'll pay for gas.

Donna: OK, so we're good to go.

Eric: Good night Mom...Dad

[They leave kitchen]

[At restaurant, Kelso is at his first table]

Kelso: Good evening and welcome to the Holiday Hotel Restaurant. I am Michael and I will be your server.

Jackie: I thought you were a waiter?

Kelso: No, I'm your server.

Eric: Whatever...Where's Hyde?

Kelso: He's working in the kitchen, and you can't go back there. Donna, doesn't this uniform make me look hot?
Donna: Not particularly..

Fez: Everyone looks hot in uniforms, like Donna in her catholic school uniform.

Eric: Yeah, Donna...you really should have worn that tonight.

Kelso: Yeah.

Jackie: You guys are pigs.

Donna: Is there any way that you could take our orders any time tonight?

Kelso: Oh sorry, I was just looking at that girl's..never mind, what would you fine ladies like tonight?

Jackie: A side salad with no onions, olives, tomatoes, or croutons.

Kelso: So you just want the lettuce?

Jackie: Ew no, that gets stuck in my teeth.

Kelso: Then you just want the dressing?

Jackie: Just get me water.

Donna: I'll have the baked chicken

F: How big are your breasts?

Jackie: Fez!

Fez: I meant the chicken breasts. Geez.

Eric: Michael....I'll have what Donna's having.

Michael: Alright and for Fez?

Fez: I would like some toast.

Jackie: You know I'll have some baked chicken too.

Kelso: Yeah, so four baked chickens it is. [Walks off]

Fez: No, I want some toast.

Jackie: Oh fez, stop your whining.

E: He didn't even take our drink orders.

Jackie: I got water.

D: Maybe one of us should go back there and get him....Jackie?

Jackie: Yeah Donna. you can, I'm tired. Oh!

D: Yeah, thanks.

Jackie: Oh ok, I'll be back. [Gets up and walks into the kitchen and sees Hyde.] Excuse me.

H: Yes...oh, Jackie? You're here.

Jackie: Yeah, can you send Michael out? He forgot our drink orders.

Tracy: So, this is your girlfriend?

Jackie: Who's that?

H: Um...Jackie, this is Tracy.

Jackie: The pleasure is all yours, I'm sure.

Tracy: Right, um... Well I'm getting off now, so nice meeting you, Jackie. Bye Hyde.

H: I'll see you tomorrow.

Tracy: Yeah, I'll meet you at your house.

H: Yeah, OK

[Tracy leaves]

Jackie: What?! Why is she coming over?

H: Um...we have to work on a project together.

Jackie: She isn't even in any of your classes. God, I can't believe I put my self threw this again! [Storms back into the dining room] Donna let's go.

H: (following her out of the kitchen) Jackie...Wait! It's not what you think.

Jackie: Look, I have heard that a lot and it probably is what I think, because I'm usually right. Donna, let's go, I'm so sick of this.

H: Jackie, please....you're overreacting

Jackie: Fine, I'll walk home! [Walks out of the hotel]

Kelso: See Hyde, I told you! E: does this mean we're going to The Hub for dinner?

H: I can't just leave to go talk to her....Donna would you please talk some sense into her?

Fez: I will

D: Let's see if we can catch her before she hits the highway.

Fez: This night is going better then I planned.

E: We'll see you guys later. Bye.

Fez: And Kelso, you didn't take our drink order, you get no tip.

[They walk out]

[The Forman's kitchen: Eric, Donna, Jackie and Fez enter]

Kitty: So, how was dinner?

Fez: It was great. Everyone was looking at us.

Jackie: No it wasn't. Steven is such an insensitive jerk!

Donna: He was working....what was he supposed to do? Maybe he is working on a project with that Tracy girl.

Jackie: They don't even have classes together!

Kitty: I'm sure Steven isn't cheating on you Jackie.

E: I mean why would he want to lose all this?

Fez: That is where you are wrong Mrs. Forman; He said that Tracy was cute last night.

Jackie: Oh my god! [Walks out]

E: Nice work, Fez.

Fez: Now is my chance to win Jackie over!

Donna: Eric, you knew about this and didn't tell me?

Kitty: Eric, you didn't learn dishonesty from me, he got that from his father's side of the family.

Fez: I think I'm going to go comfort Jackie.

Donna: Hold it, Fez... I want to know everything.

Fez: Well, Hyde said that he would introduce us all to Tracy. But then he made a rule that no one could hit on his work partner. And then we said he must have a crush on her if he said that. And then he said she was cute and that was it.

Donna: Oh my god! No wonder Jackie's so upset...so have you guys met her?

Fez: Kelso has.

Kitty: Steven said something about her coming over tomorrow. Eric, did you know about this?

E: This is news to me.

Fez: Yes, he was probably too high to remember it.

Kitty: Eric! I thought you quit that stuff the last time you got in trouble! Now I'm going to have to tell your father.

E: Mom...Fez is kidding...of course I remember. Come on, guys let's go see if Hyde's downstairs.

Fez: Alright! Maybe he brought us home our Baked Chicken.

Donna: I'm going to check on Jackie. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Good night Mrs. Forman.

Kitty: Good night Donna.

Fez: Hey, Eric can you make me some toast?

Eric: Hyde will make you into toast when he finds out what you said.

Fez: You're not going to tell him, are you?

Eric: He's going to figure it out...sooner or later, especially after Jackie breaks up with him.

Fez: Well let's wait till after Jackie dumps him.

E: Deal!

Fez: Eric, you are a good friend.

[In the basement Hyde and Kelso get home from work]

Kelso: Hey guys.

Eric: So, how was work, guys?

Kelso: We almost got fired because of Jackie. See, I told you she would ruin everything between me and Tracy. So if I get fired, I won't ever see her. I told you man.

Hyde: We go to school with her! She wasn't even there when it happened. I can't believe Jackie got so pissed.

Eric: And we'll never get to meet the girl that wrestled Hyde's heart away from Jackie without breaking a sweat.

Hyde: Would you cut that out, Forman? I'm in enough trouble with Jackie without you guys adding to it.

Fez: Well Hyde shouldn't worry about that when Jackie dumps him tomorrow. Oh no, I have a big mouth!

Hyde: Fez...what the hell are you talking about? Jackie wants to break up with me? Why? We had one stupid fight.

Fez: Well, never mind that. Did you bring us home our baked chicken?

Hyde: I can't believe this...it was a stupid misunderstanding....I couldn't tell her what I was planning.

Fez: Well, Jackie thinks you think Tracy is cute.

Hyde: (growing angrier) Why does she think that, Fez?

Fez: That's what Eric told her.

Eric: Fez!

Hyde: Forman...you're dead.

Fez: Yes, and he also said that she was coming over here tomorrow and Mrs. Kitty knows. And Donna's mad at you too.

Kelso: I wouldn't worry about it man, I set her house on fire and she still made up with me.

Hyde: (goes over to Eric to snog him) I am going to really hurt you...How could you do that man?

Fez: [starts to get up] I'm going to go check on Donna and Jackie! Bye! [Runs out]

Eric: Fez!

Kelso: I think Fez isn't telling us something.

E: You think? Hyde, just tell Jackie what you're up to so that she won't be mad at you and you won't have to kill me.

Kelso: Yeah, she hates surprises anyway.

H: No...Tracy and I worked really hard on this....the surprise is part of the effect.

Kelso: Yeah she's probably at Donna's. We could go over and talk to her. You wouldn't have to tell her. They're probably having a sleep over, so they probably just had a sweaty pillow fight.

H: Kelso...go home...

Kelso: No, this will be fun.

H: I'm going to let Jackie cool off, but I'm going to need your help getting her here tomorrow.

Eric: We'll help.

Hyde: Thanks.

[Over at Donna's, Donna and Jackie are talking in Donna's living room]

Jackie: Donna, I'm going to dump him tomorrow.

Donna: Maybe you're jumping to conclusions too fast...even though he was being a big jerk.

Jackie: You heard Fez. And Fez never lies! . Donna: Maybe...but you can't just dump him without trying to sort this out...OK?

Jackie: What's to sort out? He's friends with Michael and he's starting to treat me like Michael did, and he'll never grow up. Your relationship with your parents reflects on your relationship with everyone. He knew it was getting serious, so this is his way of walking out. I read too much Cosmo.

Donna: Jackie, I'm really sorry about this....I thought that this would actually work out (hugs Jackie)

Jackie: Yeah, can I stay over, so I can go over there before he goes to work?

Donna: (pats Jackie on the shoulder) Sure Jackie.

Jackie: Thanks.

[Next day, Tracy knocks on the Forman's front door]

Hyde: I'll get it! (Opens door) Hey. Tracy.

Tracy: Hey, man. So Kelso told me what happened last night.

Hyde: Yeah, well hopefully we can sort that all out tonight.

Tracy: So let's get started. Hey, could you tell Kelso to back off for me? He's starting to make me feel really uncomfortable.

Hyde: No problem. I've got it covered.

Tracy: So we should start with the main course. I have the stuff for that.

Hyde: Well the salmon should be good. And maybe that chocolate mousse we talked about would be good for dessert.

Tracy: You've got good taste.

Hyde: Well, I want this night to go well.

Tracy: Yeah, after last night I hope everything goes well for you too. You must really like her.

Hyde: She is my first real girlfriend and we've been through a lot together.

Tracy: Yeah, I can tell.

[Kitty and Red enter]

Kitty: So, Steven is this Tracy?

Hyde: Yeah. Tracy, this is Kitty and Red Forman.

Tracy: Nice to meet you.

Kitty: Steven, Jackie called.

Hyde: Really? Did she say what she wanted?

Kitty: She said she was coming over earlier then she originally planned.

Hyde: Oh man, could you guys please stall her for me?

Red: Steven, you have to take responsibility for breaking the loud one's heart.

Kitty: Yeah, after what happened last night, I think you should handle this yourself. I mean you inviting your new girlfriend over. it's your responsibility to let Jackie know it's over.

Hyde: Tracy's not my girlfriend...What is wrong with you people? (Walks into the kitchen)

Red: That boy is getting to be just as twitchy as Eric.

Kitty: Yeah, he's getting the wrong ideas from Eric and Donna's relationship.

Tracy: Right, nice meeting you. [Walks into the kitchen]

Red: I like her...doesn't talk much...a very good quality for a woman to have.

Kitty: Looks like you're sleeping on the couch tonight, Red.

Red: Kitty....oh crap...

[In the kitchen]

Hyde: I'm sorry about that...

Tracy: It's alright. Back at home, I got stuff like that with my family all the time.

Hyde: Well, we should just get to work.

(Cut to later that evening-Hyde and Tracy are admiring their work, set up in the driveway)

Tracy: Well, she should like it.

Hyde: I hope so...Thanks for all your help.

Tracy: No problem, that's what friends are for and she's coming over right now. I better go!

[Jackie rounds the side of the corner and sees the set up and Hyde and Tracy running away.]

Jackie: [sighs] Well, this is going to be easier than I thought.

Hyde: Jackie...you're early...This was supposed to be a surprise, but anyway I'm glad that you're here.

Jackie: Yeah. It's a surprise to me that you're dating her.

Hyde: Jackie, Tracy was helping me make you dinner.

Jackie: Steven, look Fez told me everything, and I'm sick of putting myself in relationships like this.

Hyde: Jackie, please...I'm telling you the truth.

Jackie: No, I don't think you are. You sound just like Michael, and I'm not putting up with it anymore Steven.

Hyde: Jackie...

Jackie: It's over Steven. Goodbye. [Walks off]

Hyde: Jackie!!! (Mutters) Damn.

[Tracy comes out from behind the garage.]

Tracy: well that didn't work out the way we wanted it to.

Hyde: (sits down on one of the chairs) No...I guess it didn't

[The guys come out from the basement]

Tracy: I'm really sorry Hyde (sits on the other side of the table)

Hyde: This sucks more than I thought it ever could.

Tracy: Don't worry. I'll help you get her back.

Eric: What's going on up here? We heard Jackie yelling.

Kelso: Dude, she sounded like that when we broke up. Oh. Hey Tracy, what's going on?

Eric: So this is the infamous Tracy...nice to meet you.

Tracy: And since you're really skinny you must be.... Eric

Eric: Nice Hyde...she's just like Jackie.

Kelso: No, she's hotter then Jackie.

Tracy: See? This is what I was talking about before Kelso.

Kelso: About what?

Eric: Hey if you guys aren't going to eat that...may we?

Hyde: Help yourself.

Tracy: Say "sexual harassment" with me.

Kelso: I'll have anything sexual with you.

Tracy: Hyde!

Hyde: Kelso, just take the chocolate mousse and get out of here.

Kelso: Alright, but I'll see you later at work Tracy, if your offer still stands.

Tracy: Oh, it does.

Kelso: Great!

Fez: Eric, why did you ever say he was smart?

Eric: I take it all back, and she's way more fun than Jackie.

Tracy: There is something seriously wrong with that guy.

Hyde: We've been saying the same thing for years.

Fez: Yes, and Jackie used to date him.

Tracy: She dated him? Sorry Hyde, but she sounds a little nutty to me.

Eric: She breaks hearts for a living...even thought Kelso deserved it.

Tracy: Hey Eric, you should go get Donna and eat the rest of this with her.

Eric: This woman is brilliant....Welcome to the group.

End of episode..
