- Today, you have an opportunity that only comes around once in your career as a baby.
- You can blow everyone away at Thanksgiving dinner by uttering one simple word..
- …Turkey.
- Turkey.
- I’m sorry. You don’t need this kind of pressure, do you?
- (Danny) ‘Happy Thanksgiving.’
- Why is there a butterball on my head?
- Jesse, apparently your hair is some sort of baby magnet.
- Man, it’s 7 o’clock. It’s a holiday. ‘Good night.’
- Jesse, I am sorry but I’ve got a little problem and I need to see you and Joey downstairs right now. Argh!
- I gotta get a lock for my door.
- – Ah. – We’re coming to some stairs. I recommend you opening your eyes.
- Joey, come on, wake up, buddy.
- Good morning. How are you guys doing?
- Boy, it’s great to be alive! Happy Thanksgiving, buddy.
- Why can’t you wake up grumpy and grouchy like normal people?
- Because it’s a beautiful day.
- Boys, brace yourselves. It’s snowing in Tacoma.
- No!
- Boy, it’s a good thing I didn’t sleep through that news.
- You don’t understand, my mom lives in Tacoma and she’s snowed in. She was supposed to make our thanksgiving dinner for us.
- It’s no problem. We’ll make that seven-course meal ourselves.
- How, you ask? The miracle..
- …of Thanksgiving.
- You.. …are a moron.
- There’s the miracle of Christmas and there’s “Smokey Robinson and the miracles” there’s “miracle whip..”
- But there’s no miracle of Thanksgiving, huh?
- Oh, no? Suppose the pilgrims had landed in Florida.. We’d all be eating Flamingo.
- All I know is…everything today has to be absolutely perfect.
- Why?
- Because it’s the girls’ first thanksgiving without their mother.
- Oh, that’s right, man. It’s gotta be rough on them. We gotta, we gotta make this a fun day. We gotta make it a great day for these girls.
- And it will be.
- – You know why? – Why?
- The miracle..
- …of Thanksgiving.
- Now let’s get in there and cook!
- Right and right after that, we’ll hunt for eggs left by the Thanksgiving bunny.
- Okay, everything’s on the table and ready for cooking.
- What should we make first?
- Reservations.
- I know this looks a little intimidating
- but families all over this great country
- are turning these raw ingredients into a thanksgiving feast.
- Maybe we should go have dinner with one of them.
- Nobody panic. We’ve got cookbooks. If you can read English, you can cook.
- For instance, “basic bread stuffing.” “Melt 1/3 cup butter in a heavy skillet.”
- That’s easy. On the stove, right?
- No, no, no, we stick the butter on a rocket ship and send it to the sun.
- Alright, guys, stay with me here. “Add 1/4 cup finely minced onion.”
- We’ve got three different kinds of onion here.
- Are there any pictures?
- Well, here’s one of Betty Crocker but they cut her off above the onions.
- Okay. “Stir in four cups bread crumbs. “See pages 35 to 37.
- “Two cups chicken stock. See pages 46 to 48.
- “One pound pork sausage. See pages 78 to 81..”
- Stuffing is highly overrated.
- Hey, mister, what happened to the miracle.. Doo doo doo-do, with the horn thing at Thanksgiving?
- If we can get a restaurant reservation on Thanksgiving.. …there’s your miracle.
- Happy Thanksgiving!
- Happy Thanksgiving!
- Look out. Here comes big bad Bikomola.
- Michelle. Michelle. Pop a wheelie. Pop a wheelie.
- ‘Alright!’ See? Taught her everything I know.
- Girls, I have a little bad news. It’s snowing up North and grandma can’t make it.
- But don’t worry because we’re gonna go to the best restaurant in town and have a super great Thanksgiving feast.
- Okay, it’s quiz time. How is Thanksgiving gonna be?
- Super great!
- Ding ding ding ding ding! That’s correct. And now D.J. to tie, how is Thanksgiving gonna be?
- [imitates buzzer] Time’s up. What do I win?
- Steph, how could you say that sounds “super great?”
- I think the idea stinks.
- Can I change my vote?
- D.J., what’s wrong?
- Mom always cooked us a home-cooked meal for Thanksgiving.
- Don’t you think we should have Thanksgiving here?
- Yeah, we’re just a little bit nervous about turning all this food into something that can still be eaten.
- Last year, mom taught me how to make her picture-perfect pumpkin pie. ‘So I can make that.’
- And I can help.
- And I talked to grandma last night on the phone and she was gonna put me in charge of the turkey anyways
- so I can handle that too.
- If I help.
- D.J., you’re right.
- Guys, we can do this. I am gonna make that stuffing.
- Alright. And you know what, fellas? It just so happens I can do amazing things with a yam.
- And in many parts of the world I am known as Mr. Vegetable.
- Give me my kid.
- Oh, I’m feeling the miracle.
- The miracle..
- …of Thanksgiving. Can you feel it?
- (All) We feel it!
- Yes. Are you ready?
- (All) We’re ready!
- Now let’s cook.
- ♪ I never met a girl who makes me feel the way that you do ♪
- ♪ You’re alright ♪
- ♪ Whenever I’m asked who makes my dreams real ♪ ♪ I say that you do ♪
- ♪ You’re outta sight ♪
- ♪ So fee fi fo fum ♪ ♪ Look out baby ‘cause here I come ♪
- ♪ I’m makin’ you a love that’s true ♪ ♪ So get ready ♪ ♪ Get ready ♪
- ♪ I’m gonna try to make you love me too ♪ ♪ So get ready ♪ ♪ So get ready ♪
- ♪ Get ready ‘cause here I come ♪ ♪ Get ready ‘cause here I come ♪
- We should have been the new monkees.
- Ladies and gentlemen, the miracle..
- …of Thanksgiving.
- The little miracle that who made it all possible, D.J.!
- – Alright, Deej. – Thank you. I couldn’t have done it without you guys.
- Okay, guys, go carve the turkey.
- Ladies, please be seated at our Thanksgiving table.
- Michelle, what are they gonna carve? Turkey.
- This is so much better than a restaurant.
- Yeah. I hate those booster seats. They squeeze my tush.
- Jess, we got a problem here.
- Let me try.
- It’s frozen.
- I had no idea you two were so good in the kitchen.
- ‘The turkey, the pie.’ You should open up a restaurant and just support me the rest of my life.
- I’m so glad this worked out so perfect.
- Now I wasn’t sure if I could pull it off but it turned out just the way mom cooked it last year.
- Do you think she would have been proud of me?
- Oh, I’m sure she would have been, honey.
- Excuse me a second. I’ll be right back. You two stay right here.
- Is there something wrong with my turkey?
- – Uh…no. No. – There’s, uh..
- No turkey problem here at all.
- – This is a very happy bird. – Yeah.
- He’s happier than heck to be dead right here in our kitchen.
- In fact, I’m just gonna shove that sucker back in the oven for just a couple more minutes.
- Are you sure there’s nothing wrong with my turkey?
- Oh, of course, honey.
- You know what what a nut I am about that extra crispy skin.
- Well, dad, don’t overcook it. You don’t want it to get dry.
- There’s no danger of that happening, D.J.
- Oh, my gosh! Someone’s at the door.
- ‘Who’s gonna get it?’
- I don’t know.
- – Let’s all go get it. – Let’s all go get it.
- Come on, girls, let’s go see who came to visit us on Thanksgiving day.
- Must be your friends, Jesse.
- No, not yet. Come in.
- Hi. I’m Paula and this is my sister, Alexandra.
- Hi, I’m Danny Tanner and these are my kids Michelle and D.J. and Stephanie. And that’s Jesse and Joey.
- – Hi. – Hi. Who are you?
- Uh, isn’t this 1882, Girard?
- Girard way, avenue, street, place, or lane?
- I’m not sure. Uncle Henry just moved to town.
- Could we use your phone? We’re already late, and this hot turkey’s getting cold.
- Hot turkey. Sure. Come on in.
- There’s the phone right over there. Great.
- Uh…girls, take Michelle and go upstairs and wash your hands.
- Why? They’re clean.
- ‘Yeah, but they’re not Thanksgiving clean.’
- Go, go, go. Go.
- Men, this is the miracle of thanksgiving.
- That turkey was meant for us.
- Oh, I’ve got a feeling that may come as a surprise to the young ladies.
- There’s only one person who can convince these women to stay for dinner.
- I don’t know, fellas. It’s gonna be a little rough. I mean, it would be easier if it was like, say one girl with a chicken and on Groundhog’s day.
- Jesse, just think of little D.J.’s face
- when she goes into the kitchen and sees a turkey ice sculpture in the oven.
- Alright, okay. I’ll give it a shot. But I’m gonna need a few things.
- You. You dim the lights.
- Joey, go get some drinks.
- I’ll get us some traditional pumpkin margaritas.
- – Alright. I’ll surprise you. – Get out of here.
- Thank you. I’m really sorry if we interrupted your dinner.
- Oh, dinner? What a coincidence! I was just gonna talk about dinner.
- See, I figured, why spend dinner over at Uncle Hank’s house which by the way, you can’t even find.
- When fate has kind of dropped you and your bird if you will, here in our laps?
- Because our husbands wouldn’t like it.
- Ball’s in your court.
- Uh.. I’ll give you $100 for that turkey.
- Excuse me?
- 125.
- You want to buy our turkey?
- You bet. 140.
- – This is crazy. – 150.
- Let’s talk.
- What planet have we landed on?
- I’m not sure but I think I hear Uncle Henry calling.
- – Good luck. – Wait.
- 175. You can keep the stuffing. 200.
- What is it, Lassie? What is it, girl?
- Did grandpa fall in the river again?
- What?
- – We can’t even see. – Alright. Be careful.
- The thing’s on fire.
- I love that crispy skin.
- What happened?
- It’s all my fault, honey.
- I just…your turkey was a little frozen so I shoved it in the oven and I-I’m an idiot I cranked it up all the way.
- My turkey was frozen?
- D.J., it’s all my fault.
- It was frozen. I didn’t defrost it enough.
- Don’t feel bad. At least we still can have the pie–
- Tell me that didn’t happen.
- That didn’t happen.
- Yes, it did.
- I ruined mom’s picture-perfect pumpkin pie.
- And I ruined the turkey.
- – I’m gonna go talk to D.J. – Alright.
- [muffled] And I’ll go talk to Stephanie.
- Whoa, whoa, wait. I’ll talk to Stephanie.
- – Here, you take Michelle. – Okay.
- Oh, by the way, you got a bottle stuck on your tongue.
- [muffled] Another miracle..
- …of Thanksgiving!
- Turkey!
- Dad, you don’t have to tell me. I know I ruined Thanksgiving for everyone.
- You didn’t ruin anything.
- I let mom down.
- Why? Because of the turkey?
- D.J., mom knew Thanksgiving wasn’t about turkeys. It’s about family
- and about being thankful for what we have.
- I’m thankful I’ve got you. You’re the one who pulled us all together tonight.
- You’re just trying to make me feel better.
- – Is it working? – No.
- You think you feel bad. I feel worse.
- – You couldn’t. – Oh, yeah?
- Wait till I tell you what’s been going on.
- I felt so bad about your frozen turkey that I offered those ladies $200 for theirs.
- Dad, that’s crazy.
- You should’ve just told me the truth and given me the $200.
- And that would’ve made me feel better.
- Thanks for making me feel better.
- You’re welcome.
- Sometimes you remind me so much of your mom. You always have a smile for me when I need one.
- Yeah, well, like mom said smiles are free, so give them away.
- (Steph) ‘Uncle Jesse, are you still here?’
- No, I left. You can come out of the closet now.
- ‘Nice try.’
- Alright, that’s it. I’m coming in there with you. Look out.
- Hi. I broke the pie.
- Oh, that’s alright. People break things all the time.
- It’s okay, no big deal. Everybody makes mistakes.
- Not pie mistakes.
- Even pie mistakes. You know what?
- I’m gonna show you a mistake I made when I was your age.
- Hop on my back. Come on, I’ll give you a piggyback ride.
- Hop on. There we go.
- It’s kind of fun hanging out in the closet.
- You don’t get out much, do you?
- Alright, come here.
- Now you settle down here and be prepared to be amazed at my stupidity.
- Here, come on, sit on my lap.
- Take a look at that.
- Who’s that goofy-looking guy with silly hair and big ears?
- I don’t have big ears.
- They’re fine now that your head’s bigger.
- Why is your hair so lopsided?
- Well, that’s the thing, see? When I was five and your mom was ten
- I let her cut my hair because she said she was in beauty school.
- – And you believed her? – Well, I said I was five.
- I’m five and I wouldn’t fall for that.
- Well, maybe you’re just a little smarter than I am. Huh? You a little uncle biter, huh?
- – Look at this one. – Oh, yeah.
- Who’s that little girl with you?
- That’s your mommy. She’s pretty, isn’t she?
- Yeah. What’s she holding?
- Well, in one hand she’s holding her scissors and in the other hand, she’s holding about 95% of my hair.
- Oh, yeah, that’s for Halloween, huh?
- Hey. How you guys doing?
- – We’re cool. – We’re fine.
- Let’s go have some black turkey and some pie a la floor.
- Okay but can we make a new pie?
- Sure, Steph.
- I promise not to drop it.
- And I promise not to freeze it.
- – Okay, let’s go. – Okay.
- You missed a great thanksgiving, sis.
- – You coming? – Yeah. Yeah, let’s go.
- Wait, look at this.
- I forgot how much the girls look like Pam when she was their age.
- Yeah, right. Come on, let’s go, man.
- Wait a second. You wanna talk?
- No. Why would I wanna talk? Come on, let’s go.
- Jesse, it’s okay if you’re hurting.
- I’m not hurting, I’m hungry. I wanna go eat. Let’s go, please.
- You know, I hadn’t thought about this
- but this must be real hard on you. You’ve spent more Thanksgivings with Pam than any of us.
- Hey, what does it take to get through to you? I don’t wanna have this conversation, okay? So leave me alone.
- Okay. Fine.
- I’ll be just moseying along. But if you wanna talk.. …you know my home number.
- When is it going to stop hurting, man?
- I-I keep thinking the pain’s gonna go away but it doesn’t.
- When I see pictures of her, I think of her..
- I get this feeling. This empt..
- I know that feeling, Jesse.
- And I don’t think it ever completely goes away.
- Sometimes it’s easier but on days like this, it’s real hard.
- But you don’t have to go through this alone.
- I’m missing her, man.
- It’s, it’s hard for me to talk about it.
- Talking about it, that’s what helps me.
- Talking about the memories. That’s what keeps her in your heart.
- – Yeah? – Yeah.
- You know, everybody knows the story about how I got my hair all chopped up and everything
- but I bet you don’t know how I retaliated.
- Look at this.
- Did you ever see your wife with red, white and blue hair?
- I think she looks cute. How’d you do this?
- Well, picture this, man. It was the middle of the night.
- Two things of finger-paints and vanilla pudding.
- I was a wicked little five year old, wasn’t I?
- I’m glad you’re here, Jesse.
- Lord, as we gather this Thanksgiving we wanna thank you for this bountiful
- yet slightly overcooked, reheated meal.
- (all) Amen!
- But what we’re most thankful for is being part of a family who really loves each other.
- (all) Amen!
- And god bless my mom and dad who are in Orange County with all my dad’s goofy relatives.
- And I’d just like to say that I’m happy to be a part of this family
- and God bless my dad and his third wife..
- …Janice.
- And to my mom who’s on a Thanksgiving gambling junket to Atlantic City. 7 come 11, mom.
- Carve the turkey, dad.
- My pleasure.
- Okay, who wants white meat?
- Scratch the white meat. We have dark meat and really dark meat.
