Men, basketball is a metaphor for life. The basket, our goal. The ball, our hopes and dreams. The backboard is a chance to rebound those missed opportunities.
That still fires me up. Anyways, in the rush to get out to the court, Belding runs into Zack and twists his knee. After a thorough examination from Dr. Turtle, it's determined that Zack tore some cartilage in his knee and has to stay over night for examination. Belding feels awful, and he should because it's his fault. Zack gets him to finish his take home test for him. And to take his French test tomorrow. What a principal.
Zack needs surgery to fix his torn cartilage. And he's worried about it. We'd all be worried about minor knee surgery, right? There's also the old, "Let's turn on the tv with the remote! Oh wait! That controls the bed!" and hilarity ensues.
Hazy pink dream sequence! Zack's guardian angel Skippy is here, and he looks just like Screech. Apparently everyone looks like Screech in heaven. Scary. He's here to take Zack to heaven, but he insists on seeing his friends one last time. At Bayside, Zack's locker has been encased, and there's a ceremony in his honor. The basketball team retires his number, and Screech throws a fit. Man, Zack Morris is really loved.
Anyways, Zack refuses to have surgery and plans to sneak out of the hospital. His plan works brilliantly, until he runs into Dr. Turtle. Lisa tries to make Zack feel better, and then throws up a little prayer for her friend. The surgery is a success, and for some reason Zack gets a cast for some torn cartilage. What kind of hospital is this?
QUOTES!
Slater: I had the ball with three seconds, then Belding starts yelling "Shoot your hopes and dreams!" By the time I realized he meant the ball, the game was over.
Zack: Rest? How I can I rest? They're gonna hack Zack!

Knee surgery is no laughing matter brother. I feel Zack here kinda like when your own brother was on deathbed and my brothers had a party and the youngest brother vomited all night. Not funny.
