Eric's BirthdayEpisode Number: 2 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Sunday August 30, 1998 Prod Code: 102 |
Eric’s 17th birthday is coming up and he really doesn’t want a party. Unfortunately, it’s extremely obvious that Kitty is planning a surprise party against his wishes – she’s even invited his older sister Laurie home from college for the event. Eric enlists Laurie’s help in calling off the party while Kelso naively tries to attract her interest. And Donna, who’s unsure about the state of her relationship with Eric, gets advice from Jackie on what to get him for a gift.

(Laurie is folding clothes in the basement; she bends over)
Fez: Holy Mother!
Kelso (nervously): Hello, Laurie.
Laurie: Hello, Kelso, Hyde.
Fez: Who's the goddess?
Kelso: The goddess is Eric's sister.
Hyde: She's not a goddess, she's more the earth mother whore type, which works for me. (edit) (Laurie comes to the basement to do laundry, wearing only a long t-shirt)
Laurie...I want you to stay off my case, it will only take me a minute.
Eric: I don't think Kelso's gonna last that long.
Laurie: Too bad. It's not like I'm completely naked under this. I'm wearning underwear. (she lifts her shirt) See? If we were at the beach you wouldn't even notice me.
Hyde: If we were at the beach, Kelso would be in the water right now. (edit) Red: Oh and uh, here's a 20.
Laurie: Will that cover for gas?
Kitty: Oh well, honey, give her another 10 just in case.
Eric: You know, I could use some gas money.
Red (laughs): Yeah... and if a frog had wings, it wouldn't bump its ass when it hops. (edit) Kitty: So, what do you want for your birthday?
Red: Whatever you want. Money is no object, as long as it's reasonable.
Eric: I want a cassette player for the car. A cassette player, not an 8-track. Not an 8-track, okay?
Kitty: Why don't they put record players in cars?
Red: Okay, Eric, if you don't want an 8-track, you won't get one.
Kitty: Oh, but Red, he wants one.
Eric: No, I don't. I don't want an 8-track.
Red: We'll get you a Delco. A genuine GM part for a genuine GM car. (edit) Kelso: Hey, Eric, maybe she's going to give you the big gift. You know, the big gift. You guys know what I'm talking about, right?
Hyde: Yes, Kelso. We got it. Then, we got it.
Fez: I'm not even from here, and I got it. (edit)
Fez: Holy Mother!
Kelso (nervously): Hello, Laurie.
Laurie: Hello, Kelso, Hyde.

The music used in this episode was:
The Rubberband Man (1976) by The Spinners;
Laughter in the Rain (1974) by Neil Sedaka. (edit) Donna has another sister named Valerie who is off at college mentioned in this episode.
When Kitty and Midge are in the kitchen and Kitty is upset, Midge gives her a book of poetry and tells her that she used it to get through a tough time when Valerie went off to college.
Valerie is never mentioned again. Donna has another sister named Tina that is mentioned in the episode Eric's Burger Job. So apparently Bob and Midge had three kids. (edit)

Donna: It's still three naked women with a dog.
Fez: I want to be the Hooterville dog.
The gang is watching Petticoat Junction, which was a weekly half-hour series that ran from 1963 to 1970. The opening sequence of that TV series showed three women bathing in the town water tower with a dog. (edit)
