‘Thank You’

Season 5, Episode 8 -  Aired December 3, 2002

Eric wants to reveal his and Donna's engagement on Thanksgiving, but first he has to hide the fact that he's failing math. Meanwhile, Kitty's parents, Bea (Betty White) and Burt (Tom Poston) visit for the holidays, and Laurie returns home.

Quote from Donna

Donna: I love this ring. You know, I wish we could tell people that we're engaged. You know, without Red killing you.
Eric: Red kills happy things. It's what he does. Let's just enjoy the fact that someday you are going to be Mrs. Forman.
Donna: Mrs. Forman? [laughs] You want me to go by Mrs. Forman?
Eric: Well, yeah, I just assumed. I mean, come on. [laughs] Pinciotti? Which is nice. No. Which is really nice.
Kitty: [enters] Eric? Eric? Honey could you get the Thanksgiving turkey out of the freezer? Oh, wait. It's a 20-pounder. Donna. Could you get the Thanksgiving turkey out of the freezer? [exits]
Donna: Sure, Mrs. Forman. See? There's your Mrs. Forman.
Eric: Okay. Yeah, you know. [clears throat] You're right. That's gonna be a little creepy.
Donna: Well, now I kinda like it. Call me Mrs. Forman.
Eric: No.
Donna: Mrs. Forman's feeling dirty.
Eric: Okay, Donna-
Donna: Come on. Give Mrs. Forman a big French kiss!

Quote from Kelso

Hyde: Mrs. Forman, if it helps, I can invite Jackie to Thanksgiving. She's bitchy like Laurie.
Kelso: Mrs. Forman, I would love to come to your Thanksgiving dinner and I'll bring a date and a 12-pack, just like the pilgrims.

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: Oh, hey, Red. Do me a favor. Sign this, huh? My gym teacher's failing me 'cause I won't wear shorts.
Red: Why won't you wear shorts?
Hyde: Would you wear shorts?
Red: Fine.
Hyde: Thank you.

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: So, Thanksgiving. We celebrate the subjugation of an indigenous people with yams and Underdog floats.
Jackie: Yeah. I'm mostly celebrating my pretty new dress.
Hyde: And so much for talking.

Quote from Bob

Bob: Hey, thanks for dinner, Kitty. I'll remember to wear my stretch pants next time. Oh, let me know if you find that button.

Quote from Kelso

Kelso: Hey, Laurie. Long time no doing it.
Laurie: Maybe for you. So, what time is your date gonna let you out for recess? [exits]
Kelso: Nice try, Laurie. There's no recess today. It's Thanksgiving! Wow, Laurie. [laughs] Yeah, me and her really had something, huh?
Hyde: Yeah. Ointment took care of that, though, right?
Kelso: Yeah.

Quote from Red

Kitty: Well, another Thanksgiving come and gone. Certainly an eventful day, hmm?
Red: Yeah. But with our ungrateful daughter, that dumbass son and a drunk foreign kid, I'd say... Actually, it was a little better than last year.

Quote from Donna

[circle:]
Eric: Fez, I know you've only spoken English for a couple weeks now, but could you have learned the words, "Don't tell my dad"? "Don't," a contraction meaning "Do not", and "Tell my dad," meaning "Shut up!"?
Fez: Okay, right there, you just told me not to shut up. It's a wonder you're not failing English too. Crack a book, you lazy son of a bitch.
Kelso: So, guys Ms. McGee. [laughs] Pretty nice, huh? If they put one of her in every classroom, I'd never skip school again, if you know what I mean. I mean, I'm doing it with my teacher! Oh, shh! It's a secret.
Hyde: I've never been with a teacher. But I was with the post-office lady. That was cool. I got a hundred free stamps and a monster roll of tape. I like older women. They always got something smart to say.
[after the camera pans around the circle, it lands on Mrs. McGee in a circle in Laurie's room:]
Mrs. McGee: I think I could probably fit inside of a record player. That's gotta sound good in there. Inside of a record player?
Laurie: I miss dating Kelso. The guys I'm with now, they're so... I don't know. What's the word? Married.
Jackie: Hey, you and Kelso didn't date. You're just a tramp he cheated with. And you contaminated him so much, I ended up with Steven who I love being with. So thank you.
Donna: Wow. I'm the only one here who's never been with Kelso. Which makes me wanna say, "Ew!" And also, "Thank God." But you, I mean, you're a teacher. Can't you get in trouble for dating a student?
Mrs. McGee: Hey, let 'em come and get me. He's 18. I make $11,000 a year. I deserve a little something.

Quote from Fez

Eric: Hey, guys. Red is gonna flip when he sees this failing notice. "To the parent or guardian of Eric Forman."
Fez: Your son is a complete idiot. Please kick him out and raise the foreign boy as your own.

Quote from Red

Red: So, Eric, how's school treating you? You managing to, uh, keep from embarrassing yourself?
Eric: Yeah. Oh, sure. I've been buckling down just like you said and thinking a little bit more about my future, which I believe you also recommended.
Red: Well, it's good to know that 17 years of kicking your ass has finally paid off.
