Character[]
The Paperboy was first introduced when he came to the Forman House and ringed the doorbell to get his payment, however, Red forgot to pay the boy some money and decides not to answer the door. Kelso on the other hand keeps insisting that Red gets the door, an irritated Red tells Kelso to open the door and pay the kid the money himself. When Kelso greets the kid, the Paperboy mistakes Kelso for a Forman and wants the money that he owes him but when Kelso tries to convince him that he is not Forman and turns around to tell the boy that there’s no one in the house, but the kid however sees the shirt that Kelso is wearing that has Forman written on it and still accuses Kelso of being Forman and demands for the payment now, Kelso tries again telling the kid that he is not Forman and tries to close the door but the kid stops it with his foot. A now irritated Kelso then politely asks the kid if he’s taking the role of paperboy too seriously, the kid then responds that he is a serious paperboy. Kelso then tries to reason the kid that this situation is a case of mistaken identity and tells him that he is mistaken his identity, the kid does not believe him and still demands to pay him but Kelso manages to trick him that someone is stealing his bike, which he looks over; with the kid distracted Kelso then closes the door.
The kid however does not give up on his quest to get his payment as he came back to the house and attacks Kelso at the Forman Driveway with his toy airplane. Just when the airplane almost hits Kelso he manages to dodge the attack, causing the toy airplane to land in the garage and destroyed. With Kelso down the kid then comes out, steals his wallet and gets out the money and the 50 cent tip that he wanted and throws the empty wallet at him; with his mission accomplished he then rudely tells Kelso, still calling him Forman, that he will see him next week and leaves. A defeated Kelso screams at the kid that he is not Forman.
