Quotes
[Joey is hammering and Jesse stops him.]
Joey: This hammer's a lot heavier than I thought.
[Jesse bites on Joey's hand, causing him to surrender control of the hammer.]
Jesse: This happens to be a Katsopolis family hammer, okay? My great-grandfather used it to build his house in Greece. He then passed it down to my grandfather, who then passed it down to my father, who told me never to let you touch it. I love this hammer.
Joey: Okay, alright, fine. I'll just go crank up the power saw. Unless you have some bizarre family attachment to that piece of hardware too.
[Danny arrives from picking up more supplies.]
Danny: OK Jess, I've picked up the supplies. I also put together this spiffy construction outfit. How do I look?
Jesse: Like one of the Village People.
[Joey uses the power saw but, unfortunately, doesn't know that Jesse had put his hammer on the slab of wood and then saws without looking.]
Joey: Oh no.
Jesse: Did I just hear an 'Oh no' from a man with a power saw?
Joey: Oh, uh, no.
Jesse: What happened?
Joey: Well, I just took off a little piece of my finger. Ow! [showing his hand, but bending one finger.]
Jesse: As long as nothing happened to my hammer. [He picks up the head, but notices that most of the handle's missing.]
Joey: Jess, don't panic. It-it was an accident, alright? Uh, you can still use it. You can use it for, uh, uh, small things, like uh, like thumbtacks! [He does a small Popeye laugh, and demonstrates.]
Jesse: [as he snatches the hammerhead out of Joey's hand] Thumbtacks! You know what? I'm not gonna kill you. I'm not gonna kill you right here. You know why?
Joey: 'Cause you forgive me.
Jesse: No. Too many witnesses. [He chases Joey.]
[Danny gets ready to test the teeter-totter, with Stephanie on one side, and Kimmy on the other.]
Danny: Let's try 'er out.
[Kimmy goes down while Stephanie goes up; Stephanie tries to go down but to no avail.]
Stephanie: Uh, Dad, great teeter, but I'm not seeing much totter.
Danny: Okay. [pushing down on it, to no avail] Kimmy, did you gain weight?
Kimmy: Yeah, [sarcastically] I'm up to 260 now.
Danny: Must've over-tightened it.
Becky: Let's all push together.
Danny: Alright, on three. ... Three!
[He, Becky, and D.J. all push down hard, sending a screaming Kimmy flying into a tree. Everyone watches this with shocked looks.]
Becky: Excellent dismount! She really nailed that landing.
