The first scene takes place in Lenny and Squiggy's apartment, early afternoon. Lenny is filling out a sweepstakes form for a free vacation.

Squiggy: Lenny, why do you bother with those? Only old ladies that just got out of the shower win.

Lenny: That's Publisher's Clearing House, Squig, this is a vacation! Besides, it can't hurt to try right? (He continues filling out the form) W-S-K-I. There! Now all I have to do is send it in.

Squiggy: You'll never win. At least not now, when you're 70 you may have a chance...

Meanwhile...

Richie: Potsie, you've entered that contest every year since you were 14! I don't think you're going to win.

Potsie: I will this time! I feel it! When I win a trip for 4 to Hawaii you're going to be begging me, you just wait and see!

Richie: OK, Potsie, whatever you say... Those things are rigged, just don't get your hopes up. (To himself) I wonder how many fools there are that enter those things...

Lenny: I got it! I got it! A letter from the Lucky Dog Sweepstakes company!!! (Begins to read) Dear Leonard, CONGRATULATIONS! You are one of 5 lucky winners that get a trip to Hawaii!!! Enclosed are 4 tickets... Squig I got 'em!!! I won!!!

Squiggy: Oh, Lenny. My buddy, my dearest friend...

Lenny: Of course I'll take you Squig! You're my best pal!

Squiggy: I know.

Lenny: Let's go tell Laverne and Shirley!

Squiggy: What are you crazy? And let them weasel in on our prize?

Lenny: Our prize?

Squiggy: What have those broads ever done for us, huh?

Lenny: Well-

Squiggy: Nothin', so why let them weasel?

Lenny: Well- Then who are we going to give the other tickets to?

Squiggy: We'll sell 'em.

Lenny: We will?

Squiggy: That's right! We'll make pure profit!

Lenny: I don't know-

Squiggy: Of course you don't, it was my idea, remember?

Squiggy continues to plan and that night they're flashing the tickets around the pizza bowl.

Squiggy: Tickets to Hawaii, get 'em while they're hot! $50 bucks!

Rosie: I'll take one (pulls a wad of money from her purse). Here ya go.

Carmine: Hey, I'll take one!

Just as Squiggy hands the last ticket to Carmine Laverne and Shirley walk in.

Shirley: Well what is all the commotion about?

Squiggy: We just made 100 bucks!

Shirley: Well how in the world???

Squiggy: By selling tickets to Ha-wa-ii! ...(Tells sweepstakes story)

Laverne: How much?

Lenny: $50 apiece.

Shirley: Laverne, we had that much in our vacation fund, and to think we missed the chance of a lifetime by minutes! (starts that whining sound)

Lenny (feeling really bad now): Well, you could always track down the other winners and beg them.

Shirley: Don't be silly... Who are they? Anyone we know?

Lenny: Let's see, I've got the list right here: David Burke, Warren Webber, Cecillia Johnson, and Jo Anne Martin.

Shirley: Drat!

Laverne: Wait a minute, did you say Warren Webber?

Lenny: Yeah, so?

Laverne: Hey, he's that kid that I was going to dance with but that girl kicked him in the shins!

Shirley: Who?

Laverne: The Cunningham kid's friend!

Shirley: Really? Well let's find him!

Laverne: I don't know Shirl, I mean, we used them once already... Remember? The television?

Shirley: Oh think of it, Laverne: sunshine, beaches, the sound of the water coming in waves toward the shore...

Laverne: That's a real imposition, Shirl. How would you feel if you were in his shoes, heh?

Shirley: Surfers.

Laverne: Let's go.

They leave the Pizza Bowl and start on their way to Richie's house (where there's a Richie there's a Potsie).

Meanwhile... Potsie is in his bedroom dialing the phone.

Riiiiinnnnng

Riiiiinnnnng

Potsie (his voice is hoarse): Hi, Rich? It's Potsie.

Richie: Potsie? You don't sound so good.

Potsie: That's what I called about, I have tonsilitis. This is the fourth time I've had it recently, so I need to get them taken out this week.

Richie: Gee, that's too bad. I remember when Fonzie had his out. It was Halloween, and you and Ralph dressed up as-

Potsie: No time for stories, Rich! I'm in crisis here.

Richie: Well, I don't think it's a crisis, you get to eat ice cream for days! And you love that Tutti Fruti-

Potsie: No, I haven't told you the worst part yet! I won that sweepstakes! And those tickets to Hawaii will expire soon! I can't go!

Richie: Well that's too bad, and you finally won...

Potsie: Their yours, Rich.

Richie: The tickets?

Potsie: Yep, take whoever you want.

Richie: Thanks, Pots. That's real nice of you...

Potsie (sadly): Yeah, I know. Well, I gotta go, okay? My throat is pretty sore. Bye.

Richie: Bye. (After he hangs up) Wow, four tickets to Hawaii. I wonder who to take... my parents would love it, Fonz would kill me if I didn't take him, boy, this is some decision...

Knock at the door, Richie opens it and Laverne and Shirley are standing there.

Richie: Hey Laverne! Hi Shirley! What brings you girls here?

Laverne: Um, well, see. Um, (mumbles) help me here, Shirl!

Shirley: Well, we heard that Potsie is going to Hawaii.

Laverne: Subtle, Shirl, real subtle!

Shirley: Well...

Richie: He's not going. He came down with tonsilitis.

Shirley: Oh, what a shame.

Richie: Yeah, he gave me the tickets.

Shirley: No kidding!

Richie: Yeah, I don't know who to take-

Shirley: Oh, I'm sure you can think of two beautiful girls to take along. Maybe one with short brown hair that could be highlighted be the tropical sun...

Richie: I thought of that.

Shirley: Oh you did? How sweet.

Richie: Yeah, but Lori Beth is in Europe with her parents. Say, you girls wouldn't happen to want to go would you?

Shirley: Well, we might be busy... But sure! When do we leave???

Who else will Richie take? And what does Hawaii have in store for our HD and L&S characters?
