There are a few rules at the teen line, and the biggest is you definitely cannot ask to meet face to face. Zack answers a call and actually uses his real name. I was waiting for Nitro. Anyways, a girl calls in complaining that her parents don't treat her like an adult, and Zack suggests setting her clocks back two hours. He then asks her out on a date, which is a big no-no. But that doesn't stop him, and he meets Melissa at the Max. He's digging her, but there's one big problem. She's in a wheelchair!
Zack lets the gang know right away that she's handicapped, but they shouldn't treat her any differently. Great. Except Zack continuously freaks out about her condition. He can't believe that she gave good advice, and he causes a stink at the movie theater because some jerk parked in the handicapped space. Handicapped people are people too Zack!
Belding has some unfortunate news. The school's budget has been cut, and all non-essential school programs have to go. And that means no more Teen Line. Why don't they just get a 900 number and charge two bucks a call? Anyways, the gang thinks of some ideas to raise money and save the teen line. They decide to play a wheelchair basketball game, and it's a big success. Tori thanks the crowd, and then Zack has a few words.
I want another round of applause, for the real star of the game. The only one who has to be in a wheelchair all the time, Melissa Donahue!
Very sensitive, Preppy. Melissa just wants to be treated like a normal person, and makes Zack feel like a real dick. He learns a lesson, and we're all better people at the end of this episode.
QUOTES!
Slater: I could try to date more. That would serve all the chicks in the community.
Zack: Whoa! You're in a wheelchair!
Zack: Even though she's handicapped, she gave Cathy perfect advice!
Zack: Excuse me sir. Would you mind slumping down? My date's in a wheelchair.
