Season 7, Episode 22 -  Aired May 4, 2005

After Red admits he spent Eric's college fund on keeping the muffler store afloat, Eric reluctantly seeks help from his high school guidance counselor, Mr. Bray (Chris Elliott). Meanwhile, Kelso tries to respectfully break things off with Angie (Megalyn Echikunwoke).

Quote from Hyde

Eric: Dad, all I need from you now is a financial statement, so the school can see where I'm getting the old moolah.
Red: Oh, well, bad news, I... I spent your college money to keep the muffler shop going.
Eric: What?
Hyde: This is really weird. Because my parents, instead of paying for my college, bought me a muffler.

Quote from Eric

Donna: Eric, you should go see Mr. Bray. Finding money for college is what high school guidance counselors do.
Hyde: Yeah, they also spend a lot of time staring at themselves in the mirror saying, "I can't believe I'm a high school guidance counselor."
Eric: I don't know about Mr. Bray. I don't think he really liked me. One time I told him I was being bullied, and he just said, "What'd you expect?"
Donna: All right, I'll go with you. He'll help. He totally loved me, in almost entirely appropriate ways.

Quote from Hyde

Angie: I'm so glad you came by, Daddy.
William: Well, I missed you guys. I'm not just your rich boss, I'm also your rich dad. In fact, everyone related to me, grab some cash from the register.
Hyde: Uh, I've already been in there once today, but you're the boss.

Quote from Kelso

Kelso: Okay, I can do this. I'm just gonna tell Angie that things are fizzling between us and we should end it.
Angie: Hey, how's it going, sweets?
Fez: Not bad, toots. Oh, him. Go, go.
Kelso: Okay, uh... We need to talk about something. This might be kind of hard to take. Fez still wets the bed.
Fez: What?
Angie: Ew!
Kelso: At least we're still together. [chuckles] I'll see you later.
Fez: I'm going to wet your bed.

Quote from Eric

Eric: Oh, my God, I can't believe I have to tell my high school guidance counselor that I spent an entire year doing nothing. He's gonna think I'm such a loser. Oh, Donna, let's tell him it's you.
Donna: No, you're a much more believable loser.
Eric: Oh, come on, he won't judge you. He loves you. I mean, jeez, he asked you to prom.
Mr. Bray: [enters] Okay, let's see... Donna. What a pleasant, pleasant surprise. Jeez, you've done something different with your hair since the prom.
Donna: Yeah, you noticed.
Mr. Bray: Well, I notice everything about all my students.
Eric: I, like, put on a little weight.
Mr. Bray: And you are?
Eric: Eric Forman, 1977's most improved mathlete.
Mr. Bray: Oh, right. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry, Eric. I just figured the bullies had gotten you.

Quote from Eric

Eric: Anyway, Donna here is looking for some college scholarships.
Mr. Bray: Well, Donna, you've come to the right place because I am an expert at college scholarships, as well as the affairs of the heart. Why don't you have just a little seat right here, young lady.
Donna: Thank you.
Eric: I guess I'll... [clears throat] [sits on stool] Great.
Mr. Bray: So, Donna, to figure out what scholarships you're eligible for, I'll have to know what you've done for the last year.
Donna: Oh! Um... Well, not a lot. I read comic books, acted out movies with my dolls...
Eric: Action figures. Okay, you always insist that they are called action figures.
Mr. Bray: You know, if Eric had told me he had wasted a whole year of his life, I wouldn't be surprised. But you?
Eric: I know, I'm just as surprised as you are. It has been a long, ugly fall, very hard to watch. In fact, just between you and me, she's even gotten into a little bit of the smoky, smoky.
Donna: All right. Screw this. The scholarship is for him. Eric, good luck. Mr. Bray, my coming here was not an invitation to start driving by my house again.
Mr. Bray: Hey, my mother lives right next door.
Eric: I live right next door.
Mr. Bray: Oh, well. How's Mother?

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: How'd you get a promotion? You don't know anything about music. Last week a guy came in asking for KISS, you called him "pervert" and slapped him in the face.
Jackie: Well, did your dad say anything about Steven?
Angie: I don't know, I just heard the word "promotion," and I got a little dizzy and sort of blacked out. It was awesome.
Hyde: Well, here's the America I know, the person who can't do anything rises to the top, while the guy who's working his ass off gets nothing.
Jackie: Are you supposed to be the guy that works his ass off?
Hyde: Don't make this more complicated than it has to be.

Quote from Kelso

Kelso: Jackie, listen, I need some advice on breaking up with girls, okay? And you've been broken up with a lot, and several times by me. So what didn't you like?
Jackie: Oh. Um... The lying, the cheating, the sneaking around. Oh, and I also didn't like Fez trying to make out with me five minutes later.
Fez: Well, then you're really not gonna like this.
Kelso: Look, I don't know how to break up with Angie.
Jackie: Well, why don't you try to figure out how to do it kindly, maturely, respectfully.
Kelso: Yeah, that sounds nice. I think I'm just gonna sleep with her best friend.

Quote from Red

Eric: Okay, I actually got some great news from the guidance counselor. There's this program where you go and teach in an impoverished area for a year, and then they pay for your college. I signed up.
Donna: Eric, that's perfect.
Kitty: That's wonderful.
Red: See, I knew spending your college money would work out for the best. You're welcome.

Quote from Eric

Kitty: You can't go to Africa. They don't even have ketchup there. You put ketchup on everything. You'll starve to death.
Eric: Can you believe how much she's freaking out?
Donna: No, I cannot believe that someone you supposedly love is upset that you decided to go to Africa without considering her feelings at all.
Eric: See? Donna understands.
