Episode Quotes

Marion Cunningham: I don't even have to go through with this dance contest! Let's go home.
Howard Cunningham: Yeah. Come on, get your coat, Richie.
Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarelli: Hey, now, wait a minute! I don't understand something here. I practice all week until I limp home and I gotta soak my feet. I spend 18 dollars and 50 cents on a monkey suit. Two nerds come to my room and lock me in my bathroom and start calling me names. Sherlock Holmes here, chases me and starts yelling at me. Cunningham, he, Cunningham over there, he starts threatening me with physical violence. Shortcake kicks me in the leg. And you wanna go home happy. Well, let me tell you something, you're not going anywhere, lady! THE FONZ WANTS TO DANCE !

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (revealing mistake): It's obviously winter (winter coats, Potsie says "It's freezing"), but you can see leaves on the trees outside when the Cunninghams' front door opens, and a hanging basket outside Fonzie's door.

Trivia

The title is based on the phrase "Tell it to the Marines" originally with reference to Britain's Royal Marines, meaning that the person addressed is not to be believed ("tell it to the marines because the sailors won't believe you").
