Richie Cunningham : Fonzie, didn't you ever regret dropping out?
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Nah. Too many rules.
Richie Cunningham : I guess it doesn't really matter. I mean, you're doing pretty well as a mechanic. You're kind of the, uh, the Mickey Mantle of the grease pit.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : I'm the best.
Richie Cunningham : I bet it's a lot of fun living in the adult world.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Almost everybody's married. They all go home right after work. All except ol' Roscoe, the lube man.
Richie Cunningham : He's your friend.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : He's 70 years old!
Richie Cunningham : Oh. I guess that's too adult.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : We go out for a couple of beers after work.
Richie Cunningham : Oh, that's nice.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : All he talks about is his lumbago.
Richie Cunningham : You make school sound fun.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Oh, school's got good points. I mean, uh, smokin' in the bathroom, cuttin' classes, showin' my tattoo to the chicks.

Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Oh, hey, these are great mashed potatoes, Mrs. Cunningham.
Marion Cunningham : Well, thank you.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : I mean, good and stiff, just like they make at the diner.
Joanie Cunningham : Do you have a zip gun in your pocket?
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : No, just a crescent wrench.
[takes out the wrench]
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : What's the matter? You never saw a crescent wrench before?
Howard Cunningham : Well, not at the dinn... Not one as nice as that one.

Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : What I'm tryin' to say is... thanks for tryin'.
Richie Cunningham : But I thought you wanted to be a cop.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Yeah, but I'm the Mickey Mantle of the grease pits, right? You said it yourself.
Richie Cunningham : Yeah. You're the best.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : I figure that hot rods and draggin' are gonna be around a long time, you know? Like the ducktail and Buddy Holly.
Richie Cunningham : I guess so. I still kind of wish you were staying in school, though.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli : Hey, if I'm gonna drop out, now's the best time. They don't think I dropped out 'cause I'm dumb. They think I dropped out 'cause I'm cool.
