- a month, and this is the first time we’ve been alone together?
- I know. With me living at my folks’ house..
- Yeah, me living at Pee-Wee’s playhouse.
- Yeah, sure hope we didn’t ruin your weekend, Jess.
- Oh, no, why would you think that? Just because I’ve been waiting a month to be with Sam.
- I used to be this free-wheeling living on the edge.. …no strings kinda guy and now..
- Now, it seems like I’m-I’m married or something.
- I don’t know what the hell’s happened to my life, pal but I gotta regain control of it.
- “I don’t think it’s working out for me here. “I’ll call soon.”
- Jesse ran away from home?
- Jesse ran away from home?
- I’m hungry.
- Where’s Uncle Jesse?
- Uh, girls, if you’ll excuse us for a brief moment.
- Um, I have to talk to Joey privately about..
- About this note, that, uh, I wrote myself reminding me to talk to Joey privately.
- About this note that I wrote.
- What are we going to say to the girls?
- Joey.. …this is a delicate situation.
- It’s a father kind of moment. You better let me handle it.
- What do you want me to do?
- Just play dumb.
- How do I do that?
- Perfect.
- Oh, hi. You’re back.
- Did Uncle Jesse go somewhere?
- Girls, your father has something to say.
- Your Uncle Jesse has gone on a little..
- …vacation.
- Where?
- Where?
- You saw him last. Tell them, Joey.
- Okay…father.
- Uh, girls.. …your Uncle Jesse went on vacation..
- …to the desert.
- ‘And why, you ask?’
- Um, because he loves the-the hot sand. And he loves the burning sun.
- Bottom line, your Uncle Jesse loves to sweat.
- I thought he loved going to the beach.
- Well.. …the desert is all beach.
- Okay. Here we go. Your favorite strawberry yogurt banana pancakes
- just like your Uncle Jesse makes.
- These aren’t just like Uncle Jesse makes.
- His aren’t soupy in the middle.
- Mine aren’t soupy.
- Here, Michelle. You’ll appreciate my cooking. That a girl.
- Go, ahead, taste it, honey.
- Everybody’s a critic.
- I got it.
- Gladstone’s International House of Flapjacks. Gladstone speaking.
- – Jesse! Hey, how’s it going? – Uncle Jesse!
- – I want to talk to him. – Wait let me talk.
- – Hi, Jesse. It’s D.J. – Hey, I want to talk to him.
- – Give it, let me talk to him. – I want to talk to him!
- I’ll talk to anyone you want. – Just make a decision. – Come on, please?
- How the heck is the desert, Jess?
- What desert? I’m skiing in Tahoe.
- Look, I’m hanging out with my buddies and, uh I don’t know when I’m coming back. So, in case of an emergency I want to give you the number
- it’s, uh, “5-5-5 “4-3-2-2.”
- I got to tell Uncle Jesse something. I got to tell Uncle Jesse something!
- Okay, here.
- Oh, no. I forgot what I was going to tell him.
- Oh, I remember. Silly me.
- Hi, Uncle Jesse. While you’re on vacation can I sleep in your room?
- Which was my room before it was your room?
- Thanks, Uncle Jesse.
- Everybody say bye.
- (all) Bye.
- Bye-bye. Goodbye.
- Say bye-bye, Michelle.

- What do you say? Let’s drink a toast to the return of our man Jesse.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you. And…a toast to my escape from romper room.
- No, no. To you paying for the cabin.
- Listen up. Fellas, this is only the beginning.
- Man, when I get back to town I’m going to get my own place and start living life the way I was born to live.
- – Yeah! – Alright. Fellas, let’s hit the slopes!
- – Awoo! – He we go! We’re going skiing. Yeah! Alright.
- I’ll just put on my ski pants here. Yeah, my little ski pants. Lookin’ good.
- Yes, it’s winter wonderland time, folks. Winter wonderland.
- I am psyched!
- Just put on my scarf, ‘cause it’s about eight degrees outside.
- And of course, jacket. Always remember
- it’s better to look good than to ski good.
- Put on the gloves the water-proof gloves. And, of course, the cap which is very important.
- We get the goggles on.
- Hey, man. Alright!
- Fanny pack. You mustn’t forget the old fanny pack. Gotta keep the fanny warm.
- And the skis.. …and the poles..
- [panting] God, I’m tired.
- Will someone just break my leg now and stick me in front of the fire?
- Dad, I always get my guitar lesson from Uncle Jesse. Are you sure you want to do this?
- Honey, this is gonna be a lot of fun. I’m going to teach you a great song. Come here.
- Okay, now, you watch what I do real carefully and then you do it.
- ♪ Froggie went a-courtin’ and he did ride uh-huh ♪
- ♪ Froggie went a-courtin’ and he did ride uh-huh ♪
- Dad! Dad, stop.
- Here’s where I am.
- Maybe froggie’s not quite ready to go a-courtin’ yet.
- Let’s work on that “D” chord. Come on.
- Sit right down here.
- Now take these two fingers and put them on the second fret.
- No, the second fret.
- No, the second fret.
- No, the second fret.
- – No, the second– – Dad. You’re making me nervous.
- How can I make you nervous? I’m your father.
- Because whenever you try to teach me things, we argue.
- – No, we don’t. – Yes, we do.
- No, we don’t.
- – Yes, we do. – No, we don’t!
- What am I doing?
- You’re arguing with me.
- I’m not arguing with you. You’re arguing with me.
- Now, we’re here to have fun.
- Well, I’m not having fun. I’d have fun if Uncle Jesse was here.
- That’s what this is all about, isn’t it?
- All of Uncle Jesse’s clothes are gone. Is Uncle Jesse thinking about moving out?
- The truth?
- Yes.
- I hate this.
- When mom died, I never thought I’d like living in this house again.
- Then Uncle Jesse and Joey moved in and things got better.
- I don’t want anything to change.
- Aw, honey. I want him to stay as much as you do.
- Then why don’t you get him back?
- Because he’s an adult. You can’t just go pick him up and put him under your arm and bring him back home.
- Right now he’s struggling with some things.
- When.. …and if the time is right.. …he’ll be back.
- Okay?
- Well, it’s not okay. But okay.
- Come on. Let’s finish the guitar lesson. What else did Uncle Jesse do?
- Well, he usually teaches me an Elvis song.
- I know a great one.
- ♪ Are you lonesome tonight ♪ ♪ Do you miss me tonight ♪ ♪ Are you sorry we drifted apart ♪
- Thanks for helping me move in, Michelle. Why don’t you just put that stuff right over there?
- ‘Thank you.’
- You know, Michelle, I grew up in this room.
- Boy, this place brings back memories.
- Here, Steph, you forgot the rest of your zoo.
- Thanks, D.J., Isn’t it neat we each have our own room for a couple of days?
- Might be more than a couple of days.
- What are you talking about?
- Oh, nothing.
- What is going on?
- Uh, Steph.. Who do you think’s a better singer? Alvin or Theodore?
- Are you serious? Everybody knows without Alvin
- they’re just a bunch of squirrels dressed like Don Johnson.
- You’re right. See you.
- Freeze.
- What is going on?
- Alright, Steph. Sit down.
- You should hear this, too, Michelle.
- Uncle Jesse didn’t just go on a vacation. He’s thinking about moving out.
- Can’t daddy get him back?
- Dad said there’s nothing he can do.
- Then we got to do something.
- You’re right, Steph.
- What if Uncle Jesse never comes back?
- Okay. Here’s the plan.
- – I’ll call Uncle Jesse. – Check.
- Then I’ll tell him Michelle’s really sick. And he’ll come rushing back.
- Then what?
- Well, then you throw your arms around him and beg him to stay while I let the air out of his tires.
- Uh, I need to speak to Jesse Cochran. This is his niece D.J. Tanner.
- Jesse’s still out skiing.
- Uh, could you hold the line for one brief moment?
- He’s not there. What are we gonna do we do?
- I don’t know! Let me think.
- Okay! I got it!
- This is Stephanie Tanner, Uncle Jesse’s other niece. Now listen very carefully.
- Help!
- Tell Uncle Jesse the baby’s sick and she’s coughing real bad.
- Here, listen.
- – Cough! Cough! – Cough!
- See? The baby’s coughing really loud. Now Uncle Jesse’s the only one who can get her to take her cough medicine.
- Promise me you’ll tell him. Thanks.
- I lied. I hate to lie.
- But it was for a good cause.
- I guess.
- But if you could cough a few times I’d feel a lot better about this whole dirty business.
- Thank you.
- Hi, guys.
- God, this sport really is a pain in the butt.
- Hey, your family just called. The baby’s sick.
- Michelle’s sick? What does she have?
- Cough, I think.
- Oh. Well, Joey and Danny are there. The pediatrician.
- I’m sure she’ll be fine.
- Hey, come on, Jess, let’s do a lil “Boys Are Back In Town.”
- Alright, “Boy’s Are Back In Town.” She’ll be okay. Here we go.
- ♪ The boys are back in town ♪ ♪ Boys are back in town ♪
- ♪ The boys are back in town ♪ ♪ The boys are back in town ♪
- ♪ Guess who just got back today.. ♪♪
- Whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it down a second.
- I got to call home.
- Jesse, what’s wrong?
- The kid is sick. I’m her uncle. She looks exactly like me.
- Damn, it’s busy.
- I’m sorry guys, but see, I’m the only one who can give her her cough medicine. And-and I’m the best at singing her to sleep.
- Sorry, fellas. I got to split.
- Michelle needs me.
- Oh, I’m sorry, honey. But you knew when we got involved there were other women in my life.
- Okay. Here’s the shot.
- I’m gonna jump over the couch spin around three times drive to the hoop
- double pump twice finishing off with a reverse tomahawk monster jam.
- Is this before or after you spin straw into gold?
- Oh, yeah? Watch this!
- Yeah, I’d like to see Michael Jordan sink a shot like that with a couch on the court.
- How is she?
- – Jesse! – Hey, buddy.
- Where’s Michelle? Do I need to give her her cough medicine?
- What are you talking about?
- What do you mean what am I talking about? Somebody called and said Michelle was very very sick.
- Michelle’s fine.
- She’s fine? [sighs] Thank God.
- What do you mean, she’s fine?
- Do you realize I’ve been driving for four hours from lake Tahoe on my motorcycle in the freezing cold behind a cattle truck?
- Well, I’ve got to tell you, you made excellent time.
- Alright. Which one of you called?
- Must have been the girls. I think you really shook ‘em up the way you took off like you did.
- No, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that. But it was something I had to do.
- Jesse, hang on. Talk to us.
- Yeah, maybe we can help you.
- Look, guys…ever since I’ve been out of high school I’ve done what I wanted, whenever I wanted with whoever I wanted.
- I’ve had no one to answer to nobody to worry about but myself, me.
- So I took off to find that guy. And you know what? I found him. I was having a great time, hanging with my buddies playing music.
- Then I get this call.
- Michelle is sick. Bam! Just like that.
- I come running back right into Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood.
- I’m sorry, guys. I don’t think it’s where I want to be.
- Jesse, wait!
- You’re going about this all wrong. I mean, maybe, when you moved in here you lost something.
- – Look how much you’ve gained. – What, Joseph?
- What have I gained?
- I’ll give you a perfect example. Why do you think you came rushing back here to check on a cough?
- Because I care about Michelle. But I cared about Michelle before I moved into this house.
- Yeah, but before you moved into this house the girls were just your nieces.
- You stopped by four times a year to give them birthday and Christmas presents.
- (Danny) ‘It’s not like that anymore, is it?’ You have any idea how important you are to those three girls?
- Jesse, you have been there every time those girls have needed you.
- Can you honestly tell me that you can just forget about the past seven months?
- Just walk out of this house and.. …go back to visits on birthdays and Christmas?
- They do love me, don’t they?
- They really love me, don’t they?
- Well, fellas, can you blame them?
- Feels pretty good, doesn’t it?
- I’m going to tell you guys something.. …but you better not tell any of my friends I said this.
- I think I’m realizing that.. …being part of this family is.. …filling a…empty..
- …an empty space in my heart.. …that I didn’t even know was there.
- Jesse, we can make this easier for you.
- You can take time for yourself whenever you need it.
- Yeah, don’t wait till it builds up inside then you gotta run away from home again.
- If you need to take off for a few days, fine. We’ll cover for you.
- Yeah, we’ll-we’ll make this work.
- Will you stay out of my room?
- I’ll try. So, Lassie’s coming home?
- Yeah, yeah, Lassie’s coming home.
- I got to hug somebody.
- Me, too.
- Go nuts.
- Hey, watch it.
- Sorry, kid.
- Uncle Jesse! You’re back, you’re back. You’re back, you’re back. You’re back!
- D.J., get in here, quick! Uncle Jesse’s back! Our plan worked!
- Uncle Jesse! You’re back!
- Well, I was in the neighborhood, you know..
- Are you here to stay? Or pick up your stuff and leave again?
- Come here, girls. Sit down.
- I came back because I was worried about Michelle.. …and because I missed you two guys.
- And no, I’m not going anywhere.
- Does this mean you’ll never leave again?
- I can’t promise you I’m gonna live here forever. But what I can promise is..
- …I’m always going to be your uncle. And I’m always going to be there when you two need me.
- And I’m always gonna love you two knuckleheads very, very much.
- Cross your heart and hope to die?
- Pinkie swear!
- Oh! He does mean business!
- You’re up.
- I drove four hours in the freezing cold on my motorcycle behind a cattle truck to give you this.
- ‘Not impressed, are you?’
- Michelle, can I talk to you a second?
- You know, when I first came here I thought I was just gonna
- move in for a few months you know just to help out and then.. …get on with my life, but..
- …you know what? This is my life.
- This is where I’m supposed to be right now.
- Come here.
- Do you realize, young lady, what you put me through tonight? I was with the most incredible woman in the world.
- Over two years old, that is. Sorry.
- Anyway..
- …from the moment I heard you were sick.. …all I could do was think of this face.
- What is it about this face, huh?
- Good answer.
- Goodnight, kid.
- Can I get a kiss?
- You know something, you little munchkin?
- I love you.
