Season 4, Episode 7 -  Aired November 13, 2001

Donna agrees to join Eric at the Price Mart ball after making it clear she is over their relationship. Meanwhile, Fez gets a job working with Hyde and Leo at the Fotohut.

Quote from Kelso

Hyde: So, Forman, you break up with Donna but you still get to have sex and go on dates with her? Ride the big red wave, dude.
Fez: I should break up with Donna. "Donna, we are through. Let the sex and dating begin."
Eric: Oh, no. It's not a date. We're just friends now, because she's... over it. Well, guess who else is over it?
Kelso: I am.
Hyde: Me too.
Fez: So over it.
Kelso: Look, man, breaking up sucks, okay? When Jackie dumped me, you know what she said? "Something something. Never wanna see you again. Blah, blah, blah." Hey, you think that didn't hurt?

Quote from Eric

Eric: Oh, hang on one sec. Oh, hey, Donna? Why don't you make like a circle and go round, okay? That's right. Like a circle.
Red: Slide over or I'll hit you in the head.
Eric: All right.
Donna: [singsong] You got yelled at.
Eric: Shut up.

Quote from Kitty

Kitty: So, are you having fun at the big ball?
Donna: Um, yeah. You know, at first I wasn't. Eric was being really jerky and weird.
Kitty: Uh-huh. Well, he does that.
Donna: I mean, if he gets me a glass of punch, it's not like we have to sleep together.
Kitty: Well, it would have to be pretty good punch. [laughs] They have an open bar.

Quote from Donna

Donna: Eric, what the hell?
Eric: What?
Donna: Why are you kissing her? You're on a date with me.
Eric: It wasn't a date.
Donna: Well, it is now, you bastard! Now, come open my car door for me before I kick your ass!

Quote from Leo

[circle in the Fotohut:]
Kelso: The Fotohut's cool. [laughs] Hyde, your job kicks ass.
Hyde: Yeah. I never thought I'd be a workingman, man. But, man, here I am working for the man. And you know what, man? I like the man.
Leo: Hey, thanks, man. So, my probation officer was sure happy I came by. He even wants to see me for some additional years. He's a good guy.
Jackie: [thumbing through pictures] Ugly, fat, whorey, old whorey, old, four-eyes, ugly, fat.
Kelso: Oh, this one's kinda cute. [Jackie pinches Kelso's arm] I mean, for a fatty. [again] I mean, for a whore? [again] Damn, Jackie! What do you want me to say?
Fez: That's it. I cannot work like this. Anyone who doesn't have to be here must leave.
Kelso: [scoffs] Fez-
Fez: I said, leave.
Hyde: Damn, Fez. You've only been here one day and you're already trying to change everything.
Leo: Yeah. It's like we crossed into some different dimension where we're in some kind of... Fotohut. It's eerie, man.

Quote from Hyde

Hyde: Good morning.
Fez: No. It was morning when I got here, on time. Now, put this on. [Fez holds up a sweatshirt which reads "Fotohut It's Phabulous"] Clever, huh? Yes, very.
Hyde: Fez. [clears throat] Working here is about goofing off. You know, creating a model of inefficiency. You're ruining the Fotohut, man. And if you think I'm gonna stand idly by you're right, 'cause that's what I do here.

Quote from Red

Donna: Hey, Mrs. Forman. My dad's making a cheese sandwich, but he's missing some stuff. So, can I borrow bread and cheese?
Kitty: Oh, your dad's having a hard time without your mom, isn't he?
Red: Midge was the brains of that outfit? [laughs] Oh, I'm- I'm sorry, Donna.
Eric: [enters] Sorry about what?
Red: You, get Donna bread and cheese.

Quote from Eric

Eric: Okay. You know what? I'm done talking about this.
Hyde: Good.
Eric: But I will say this. If she doesn't want it to be a date, then it won't be a date. I am so cool with that, because as we all know, I am very mature. Now, if you would all please excuse me, my mommy has to iron my corduroys.

Quote from Kitty

Kitty: Oh, Red. Don't the kids look nice for their date?
Red: Yeah. Nice as hell.
Donna: Oh, well, thanks, Mrs. Forman.
Eric: Actually, Mom as Donna so thoughtfully pointed out earlier, this isn't a date.
Kitty: Well, I just- I like seeing you together. You just- You look so natural.
Eric: But we're not together.
Kitty: Well, sure you are. I'm looking right at you. [laughs]
Red: Let's spend the night in the driveway looking at the kids. That's what I wanna do.

Quote from Eric

Eric: Oh, okay, this is us.
Donna: See? This is great. Being out together, not on a date, just friends. I feel, like, virtually nothing for you.
Eric: Me too. Here. Let's have a seat. Here you go.
[Donna falls after Eric pulls the seat away from her]
Eric: Oh, whoops. Not a date.
Donna: Eric!
Eric: I'm sorry. Okay, uh, minor glitch. Let's let the good times roll.
