"Michael, I want you to take me to the movies today." Jackie said.

"I'm way ahead of you Jackie. 2:00, Smokey and the Bandit." Kelso pointed at the newspaper he was reading showtimes off of.

"No. No, no, no. I told you, I don't wanna see that again. I don't like the South." Jackie denied Kelso's suggestion.

"Do you wanna see The Goodbye Girl?" Donna asked Eric.

"Well, I would, but it has two basic flaws, no Smokey and no Bandit." Eric chuckled and double high-fived Kelso.

"Yeah, plus, isn't The Goodbye Girl like a girl movie?" Kelso asked with disdain.

"You moron. A girl movie is a make-out movie." Hyde informed him.

"Well, then I am in." Kelso changed his mind.

"Me too. I will come and watch." Fez said.

Liz looked at him in disgust and laughed.

"Okay, T-minus one hour 'til the garage sale. Oh I feel like an astronaut." Kitty said giddily when her and Red entered the basement from outside. "Oh Red, remember how bad Eric wanted these roller skates? Oh, the yo-yo. Aw... your plastic vomit. I fell for that." Kitty reminisced as she looked through a box Red picked up.

"Yeah, you wasted a lot of my money, son." Red said unamused.

"Me and my damn childhood." Eric joked.

"Lizzy never wasted my money on that crap." Red smiled at his daughter.

Liz grinned in return.

"You know, Mrs. Forman, I feel real bad. I mean, you let me stay here and everything. I wish I had something to contribute to your garage sale." Hyde brown-nosed.

"Suck up." Liz chuckled and gently elbowed Hyde.

"Oh, Steven, your loving smile is contribution enough." Kitty assured.

Hyde smirked at Liz.

Liz stuck her tongue out at him, and Hyde returned the gesture.

"No it's not. Run that upstairs." Red set the box in Hyde's lap.

It was Liz's turn to smirk.

"You heard him Kelso. Move it." Hyde said as he tossed the box at Kelso.

"Hey, uh, Dad, Donna and I were gonna go see The Goodbye Girl." Eric said, not outright asking for permission.

"Yeah. Well I'm sure it's a great movie, Eric." Red began sarcastically, "but you're gonna be helping with the garage sale. It's important." Red denied Eric's request.

"Oh right. We're having the garage sale because you lost your job. I mean, because of all the clutter." Eric said rudely.

Liz hit him in the stomach.

"Everybody needs to work, Eric. The gravy train has made its last stop." Red said angrily.

"There was a gravy train?" Eric asked.

"Yup, and you missed it." Red smirked.

Liz chuckled at her father.

"Oh, Steven, I have a great idea. You could sell lemonade." Kitty said.

"Mrs. Forman, I've thrown a lot of rocks at kids with lemonade stands. Lord knows I hate a hypocrite." Hyde denied.

"I could throw rocks at you. Then it wouldn't be hypocrisy; it'd be irony with a touch of karma." Liz offered with a smile.

Hyde sneered at her.

"You could have a little bake sale." Kitty suggested.

"I pretty much beat up any kid selling anything." Hyde informed.
