- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: [to Richie] How ya doing, Red? They wouldn't let me stay before, but I'm here now. Chachi says hello, hello... he loves working at that garage you know... you can't do this, a lot of people counting on you, you know, Mother, Father, Joanie, Ralph, Potsie, you can't go yet, you got a whole lifetime ahead of you. I mean you didn't even make the editor of that college paper, there's a lot of crummy journalism around, you gotta make it all straight, they need you. I need ya! You're my best friend, and I've never said that before but I'm saying that now. You're my best friend, and I don't want to lose you.

- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: [breaking up] Ya need people down here like him, and if you don't, I do!
- [breaks up even more]
- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: I can fix alot of things but um, this one's all yours, so let's make a little deal.
- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: [barely speaking] You do this for me, and I'll owe ya one!
- [bursts into tears]
- Doctor: Your son is in critical condition. If he comes out of the coma and regains consciousness soon, he should be alright.
- Marion Cunningham: IF?
- Howard Cunningham: No no Marion, he meant WHEN he comes out of the coma, you meant WHEN didn't you, doc?
- Doctor: He had a very bad fall, Mr. Cunningham, we'll just have to wait and see.
- Marion Cunningham: Dear God!
- Doctor: It's a good thing he was wearing his helmet, it could've been a lot worse.
- Lori Beth: Help somebody! Help!

- Howard Cunningham: Well he's not very good, Fonzie, but there is a chance.
- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Is there anything I can do?
- Howard Cunningham: Nothing. Come on, let's go home.
- Marion Cunningham: Arthur, it's morning, have you been here all night?
- Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Yeah I guess I fell asleep, doctor said it was alright though.
- Marion Cunningham: Well, you can go home now.
