ERNIE

Ernie - Richard Genelle

The Youth Center is hosting Angel Grove High School's club sign up.  Trini's volleyball club is the huge hit.  No one shows any interest in Kimberly's plant club.  Kimberly takes a break from her booth and goes to sit at the counter.  Ernie listens sympathetically to Kimberly's problems.  While Kimberly is away, a Putty disguised as a human, switches cactuses.  The Putty replaces Kimberly's cactus with one that has been given a jealously potion.  Kimberly walks back to her booth and pricks her finger on the cactus.  As Lord Zedd had planned, Kimberly's feelings of jealousy have intensified.  Kimberly walks over to Trini's booth and chews her out for hogging all the students.  Trini tells Kimberly that is not her fault, and Zack and Billy, who have walked over, are puzzled over Kimberly's behavior.  Not satisfied with telling off Trini, Kimberly then gives Bulk & Skull a hard time - not believing people would actually sign up for their club.  Skull reveals that they had to offer free lunch as well as trying to find the identities of the Power Rangers.  Tommy and Jason, sitting close by, are puzzled by Kimberly's behavior as well.  Kimberly walks away and Ernie tells Tommy that maybe he should give her a flower to make her feel better.    Tommy and Jason walk over to Kimberly and Tommy tries to give Kimberly the flower, telling her it's rough when you fight with your best friend.  Kimberly doesn't accept the flower and gets mad at Tommy as well.  She tells Tommy she hates flowers and Trini is not her friend!   Kimberly storms out.  Later, the spell of jealously is broken and Kimberly apologizes to Trini for behaving like a brat.

Ernie was wiping down tables at the Youth Center.  He overheard Bulk and Skull talking about their latest invention.  The invention could apparently locate a Power Ranger by the energy the person was giving off.  Unknown to Ernie, Billy used his invention to divert theirs and point them over in Ernie's direction.  As Bulk and Skull got more excited, Ernie turned around and struck a fight pose.  Everyone laughed and Bulk and Skull were very disappointed.

Zack, Billy, Tommy, and Jason are at the Youth Center.  They are watching Ernie play a game with a ball and a broom.  Ernie walks over and explains he is playing broomball and is starting a tournament.  Ernie asks the guys if they would like to play, and the guys are very reluctant.  Two teens from Stone Canyon walk in and ask Ernie if they can put up posters for their team.  Everyone wants to see them play.  They also ask Ernie if he's gotten a team to play against them.  The Stone Canyon teens are very confident and the guys are unable to resist the challenge and decide to play against them.  The Stone Canyon teens reveal that they are the champions and the guys realized they have to start practicing.  After awhile, the guys, plus Kimberly start practicing for the match against Stone Canyon under Ernie's coaching.  Sitting on the sidelines, Trini films her friends.  As the teens practice, the ball goes out of bounds.  A teen picks up the ball and walks over.  Trini is immediately smitten with the young man.  Kimberly tells Trini that he is a new student and is very nice.  The young man gives the ball to Ernie and Ernie introduces Richie to Kimberly and Trini.  Trini immediately offers him a position on the team.  Ernie tells them that he has enough players, but he could use an assistant coach, which Richie accepts.  Later, Billy, Jason, Kimberly, Zack, and Tommy play broomball against Stone Canyon. It is a close game and the Stone Canyon players are very confident that they will win.  Ernie coaches the team to pass the ball to Jason.  Jason will get it to Tommy for the last shot.  The games starts up again with six seconds remaining.  The team follows Ernie's plan.  The game is tied when Tommy scores the winning point.  Ernie, Trini, Richie, and Zack cheer.  Kimberly, Jason, Tommy, and Billy walk over to them.  Richie tells them they did a great job.  Trini tells Richie it is because they had great coaches.  The Stone Canyon players dejectedly start to walk out of the Youth Center.  The Stone Canyon coach makes two of the players walks over to the Angel Grove team.  Reluctantly,  they tell them they are really good.  The teen shakes hands  with Jason.  Jason tells the two Stone Canyon players good game and maybe Stone Canyon will beat them next year.  The Stone Canyon players are not too sure and reply maybe before walking out.  The Stone Canyon team and coach walk out of the Youth Center. Ernie offers free drinks for everyone and he and Richie walk away to start serving drinks.  

Richie is working at the Youth Center.  Tommy, Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and Billy are sitting at tables.  The new teens walk into the Youth Center and order five cokes.  Jason, Kimberly, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Tommy walk up to the counter.  Jason tells Ernie and Richie he will cover the tab.  Jason faces the new teens and tells them he would like to start over again.  (Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, Zack, and Tommy had a rocky start with the new teens).  The new teens agreed and everyone introduces each other. 

The Youth Center was hosting the Golden Pipe Martial Arts Tournament.  Jason was a participant.  Jason won the tournament.  Ernie and the rest of the crowd cheered for Jason as he received the Golden Pipe Trophy.
