Jesse

Steve... Steve, Steve-o. I can't help but notice that you walk like you still have the hanger in your shirt.

Oh, well, thank you.

Jesse

You're welcome. Steve, I'd like to help you because, uh, quite frankly, you need help. See, when you're walking, you gotta kinda be loose, man, like let it be cool. (starts to slowly bounce) That's it. Loosen up, be very fluid. Be very fluid-y. That's it! Now... once you get it going, you shift the weight and you go. (starts walking) And it's a strut, and it's cool, and it's a strut, and it's cool. See? Like that?

Very inspiring. (tries to walk, but instead of a strut, he walks sideways on his toes bouncing highly)

Jesse

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's, uh, that's close.

Really? Well, oh. Well, that was a walk on the wild side. But, you should try it with your elbows out. It's much better for circulation.

Jesse

Oh, really? Like this? (sticks elbow out)

Yeah. (Jesse starts to walk) You're doing fine!

Jesse

You, know? I do feel the blood flowing better.

Yeah.

Jesse

It's very - WHAT AM I DOING?

Well, here's another fun way to kill time. Let's share life stories. I'll go first. I was born on a cold night in Chicago, 1976, the year of America's bicenntinal. My mom was in a great deal of pain and I was charging through! And -

Jesse

Uh, I think I hear the girls in the kitchen. Why, don't you just go and... yeah. Right in the kitchen area.

Thanks! [enters the kitchen] Oh, ladies?

[he, D.J., and Julie shout inside the kitchen]

(getting ready to square dance) I hate to get technical but we formed a triangle.

It will be much more square when my parents get here.

Jesse

You ain't kidding.

What?

Jesse

Oh, I said... I'll do your bidding.

That's all I ask.

[in an airplane, we see Jesse and Joey...]

Jess, you're totally out of your mind.

Jesse

I know. I said I'd never get in a plane with you.

No, I'm talking about skydiving. It's crazy.

Jesse

People say it's the ultimate rush. I took all the lessons, but I never jumped because it was too windy. Joseph, I gotta have this one last adventure before I get married.

Do you have to do this on your wedding day?

Jesse

This is the last hour of my life as a single guy. Pretty soon, I'm gonna be married, I'm gonna have a family with all the responsibilities. I mean, what am I gonna do then? Jump out of a station wagon?

Well, you could. Your chute might not open in time.

Jesse

Joey, look. I have to do this one last crazy thing before I give it all up for the woman that I love.

Isn't flying with me crazy enough?

Jesse

No.

How about when I do this?

[Joey makes a looping while Jesse screams]

Jesse

Don't do that! [he hits Joey in the head] I got this all planned out. I stashed my Harley, I got my tux on. I do the jump, hop on my Harley, cruise to the chapel, and have just enough time to re-mousse my hair and say "I do."

Great plan. Can I make one little suggestion?

Jesse

What?

Snap out of it!

Jesse

Joey, this is just something I have to do for myself, alright?

Alright. Have a safe trip. Good luck, buddy.

Jesse

Thanks, pal.

[Jesse goes to the open plane door and puts on his helmet]

Jesse

Oh, and Joseph? If anything goes wrong... I want you to marry Becky.

[he looks out of the door, into the depth]

Jesse

Whoa!

[he takes a deep breath and jumps]

Jesse

Have mercy!

Oh my god! He jumped without his... mousse!

Jesse

Did I forget my mousse?

[we find Jesse still stuck in the tree]

Jesse

Hey! Help! Help me! [sees a large truck of tomatoes] Hey, you with the tomato truck, stop! I'm up in the tree, up here!

[a red-haired man in overalls named Farmer Bob exits the truck]

FBFarmer Bob

Hey, whatcha doin' up there, fella?

Jesse

Oh, just enjoying the view. What do you think I'm doing? Can you help me down, please?

FBFarmer Bob

Well, yeah. Sure. I'll tell you what, I'll go get Old Man Hudson's cherry picker.

Jesse

Alright. Well, hurry up. I was supposed to be at my wedding ten minutes ago, thanks.

FBFarmer Bob

Well, I imagine we'll have you down in two, three hours tops. Now don't you go anywhere.

Jesse

What?! I can't wait that long! [he tries to shake himself loose. the parachute breaks] Mercy!

[lands in the back of the tomato truck]

FBFarmer Bob

What are you doing? Those are my prized tomatoes you just squashed.

[Jesse spits out some seeds from one of the tomatoes]

Jesse

Well, they're not tomatoes anymore, they're ketchup. I just cut out the middleman.

FBFarmer Bob

Is that-is that some sort of tomato joke? You better watch your mouth, boy. This here's Tomato Country.

Jesse

I have nothing but the highest regards for tomatoes and the men and women that do grow them. But I need a ride to San Fransisco right now.

FBFarmer Bob

I don't give rides to tomato-squashers.

Jesse

Hey, Red. This is my life we're talking about, okay? Not some dumb vegetable.

FBFarmer Bob

It's a fruit.

Jesse

Fruit, vegetable... Look, the point is, I like you, Red, and-and I like tomatoes, a lot, believe me. And I like your red hair, and you know what? I like your truck. And I'm gonna borrow it, and I'll get it right back to you.

[gets in the truck and closes the door]

FBFarmer Bob

Hey, get back here! Open that door! [Jesse starts the engine] Hey, hold it! [a police car drives up to the scene] Cousin Harold. [the officer gets out of the car] Cousin Harold, that boy just smashed every one of my tomatoes!

HOfficer Harold

Smashed your tomatoes?

FBFarmer Bob

Yeah, he's trespassing on my property, and now he's trying to steal my truck!

HOfficer Harold

[walks to the truck with a megaphone] Get out of that truck! Put your hands up! Now!

[Jesse exits the truck]

Jesse

Hi, guys. Listen, you guys are making a big mistake here. Look, I'm just... I'm late for my wedding. See, look at this, I've got my tux on and everything. See?

HOfficer Harold

Well, here's a bracelet to go with it.

[slaps the cuffs on Jesse]

Jesse

Wait a minute, guys. Guys, you're making a big mistake here.

HOfficer Harold

No, you made the mistake.

FBFarmer Bob

[megaphone] Do you know where you landed?

Jesse

Tomato Country?

[to Jesse] I'm gonna miss you.

Jesse

I'm gonna miss you too, pal. But we have to put on our bravest faces now. So let me see your brave face. Can you smile for me? [Michelle forces a small smile] That a girl. All right, now that we've got this whole bravery thing down, I want you to give me the biggest, most gigantic, most greatest hug you ever gave me in the whole entire world. Ready? Go! Hug, hug, hug, hug, hug, hug! [they hug and kiss, Jesse settles Michelle on his lap] That a girl.

This is a good-bye present.

Jesse

Michelle, it's your pig. Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Jesse

Well, in that case, here. I want you to have this. This is my pink bunny. I want you to put it up on the wall, and whenever you look at it, you can think of me, okay?

You got it, dude.

Jesse

[kisses Michelle and sets her down on the bed; gets up to leave and looks back at her] Good-bye, Michelle.

Good-bye, Uncle Jesse.

[He leaves Michelle's room; they both cry silently]

Jesse

[to Michelle] All right! We're spending the night! Did you hear that, buddy?

We could have a pajama party.

Great. Should I wear my Ninjas or my California Raisins?

[Rebecca is trying to break the news of her pregnancy to Jesse via "Win, Lose, or Draw" by drawing a picture of a baby in a blanket]

Jesse

She's having... a hot dog!

No!

Jesse

Well, what? It's clearly a bun with a weenie sticking out with a happy face.

No, Jess. It's not "She's having a hot dog", it's "She's having a baby", and the "she" is me! I'm having a baby!!

Jesse

Michelle, what are you doing up?

I didn't get to say good night to Big Bird.

Big Bird?

Jesse

That's our baby.

You named our baby "Big Bird"?

Jesse

Yeah, just until we find out if it is a girl or a boy or a nine-foot yellow Muppet.

Jesse

This is my one shot at a record deal.

But you're my partner in the balloon race.

Jesse

Well, get another partner.

But you promised.

Jesse

Michelle, I can't.

But you promised.

Jesse

Michelle, I have to write my song.

But you promised!

Jesse

Well, then I'm gonna break my promise! I'm not going to the stupid picnic! So leave me alone! [walks out]

Jess...

Uncle Jesse yelled at me.

Oh, Michelle, I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. Come on, we're still gonna have fun at the family picnic.

Uncle Jesse's not nice anymore.

Jesse

See, I've got twins coming. And I want them to be proud of their old man, you know? I want them to be able to see platinum records on the wall.

GIGuy in Bar

Babies don't care about platinum records. They care that someone's there to love them, to hug and kiss them. Shame on you for snapping at your family like that, and over a picnic?

Jesse

Yeah, well, it's worse than that. I ended up breaking a promise to my 4-year-old niece.

GIGuy in Bar

I really wish you hadn't told me that. You want to be a success? Start by being a good husband. A good uncle, a good friend. After that, the rest is just gravy.

Jesse

Hermes was not only the Greek God of Swiftness, but it's also my great-grandfather's name. I'll have you know, he saved the whole town from destruction when he raced a river of lava down a mountain barefoot. All right? He went to tell the whole town a volcano erupted. 'Course, no one was left in the town, 'cause who could miss a volcano erupting? But the point I'm tryin' to make here is the name Hermes is equated with strength, courage, and very hot feet. So now, who among you will make fun of a name so bold and so courageous as Hermes? Huh?!

I'm sorry, honey.

We didn't realize the name meant so much to you.

Jesse

Good.

Did you want me to call you Uncle Hermes?

Jesse

[scoffs] No. What am I? Some kinda geek?

Jesse

Come on, Danny, the kid's got a dream. Let her go for it. Heck, if I was that focused on my music in the 70's, who knows what would have happened.

Yeah. Maybe that would have been you dancing in the "Macho Man" commercials with that headdress.

Is there something you'd like to say to me?

Jesse

Michelle, we said Happy Birthday to you at breakfast and everywhere else we say you today.

But I'm 5 years old. This is a very big day.

JRJesse and Rebecca

Happy Birthday, Michelle.

Don't say it if you don't mean it.

JRJesse and Rebecca

Happy Birthday, Michelle!

Why, thank you.
