Jesse Katsopolis quotes from Full House

Jesse

Papouli, you remember Rebecca.

Who could forget Rebecca?!

I bet you could.

Jesse

It's like a...a bad dream or something.

Rebecca

I know. [hugs Jesse] I know. [sniffles] But you know, at least Papouli died peacefully in his sleep, you know?

Danny

We know how much he meant to you, Jess. He meant a lot to us too.

D.J.

We're all gonna miss him. [Rebecca comforts D.J.]

Jesse

[sighs] It's just... [stands up] so helpless, it's like...if I could have been there, I would have done something, you know I could've helped him...I could

Rebecca

[interrupts] Jess, honey...honey, honey...[hugs Jesse] there was nothing that you could do. There was nothing any of us could do.

Jesse

[sighs] You're right. [walks back to the table] He was just such a beautiful man. Just so full of love and life. Now he's gone.

Stephanie

Uncle Jesse, you okay?

Jesse

[wipes his tears] Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine. [stands up] You know, I, I don't have time for this. I got so many things to do, make the arrangements...

D.J.

Well, if you want help...

Joey

Yeah Jess, we, we can take care of all that.

Jesse

You know what, it's my responsibility. Just...I'm sorry guys, I'll...I'll...I'll take it from here. [goes upstairs]

D.J.

Why won't Uncle Jesse let us help him?

Rebecca

Aw honey, it's just his way of dealing with the pain, you know? By keeping busy. [Michelle enters the house]

Hi everybody!

Danny

Hi Michelle. [kisses Michelle]

Hi Daddy.

Danny

How was your honeybee meeting?

It was great! [shows her school project] I made this for Papouli. Where is he? [Stephanie tearfully looks at Joey, and Joey looks somber as the Tanner family must deliver Michelle the sad news]

Danny

Michelle, Papouli's not here. [Michelle looks at Joey, Stephanie, D.J. and Rebecca who are visibly emotional]

Rebecca

[comforting D.J., who is crying] It's okay.

Something's wrong. [Danny sadly nods]

Danny

Um, sweetheart, this is um, this is not easy to say to you. Um, this morning, after you went to school, we uh, went to wake up Papouli. Michelle, he died in his sleep last night.

What?

Danny

He was, he was just, he was very old, and his heart gave out.

No, he's not dead! [throws her school project to the floor and runs upstairs, visibly upset. Danny follows her as Rebecca and Joey respectively comfort D.J. and Stephanie]

Becky

Honey, look at this. Two little lunch-boxes with two little handles that they'll hold as they walk out of our lives. Jess, they're not ready for preschool. They're just little boys.

Jesse

Honey, they're not boys. They're men. They're Katsopolis men.

Can I ask you a question?

Danny

Sure, anything.

You're my dad, right?

Danny

Yeah, that's right.

So... where's my mom?

Danny

(solemnly) I'm sorry, uh... but, your mom died when you were just a little girl.

So even if I do get better, I won't remember her?

Joey

Well, Michelle, we'll tell you anything about her that you want to know.

Was she pretty?

Jesse

Oh, Michelle, she was very pretty. You see, your mommy was my sister. And you know what? You look just like her.

I know you all want me to remember, but I can't. I'm sorry.

Danny

Oh, don't worry about it, honey. It's fine.

It's not fine. I don't know who I am. I'm just gonna lie down in my own bed.

Stephanie

Michelle, that's my--

Becky

Uh, Steph, this is not really a good time.

How out of it was I?

Jesse

Oh, pretty out of it. I mean, you were here, sweetheart, but it was like part of you was missing. It sure was like part of all of us was missing. But, we stuck it out and we got through it.

Joey

Just like we always do.

Danny

Just like we always will.
