[knock on door]
Hey, Michelle.
Come on, you're gonna
be late for school.
I'm not gonna tell you again.
I'm too sleepy.
Hokay, I'm gonna have to
call in the big guns.
Go get her boys.
Go find Michelle.
'Tell her she's gonna be
late for school.'
Oh, no!
Where is she?
Get her. Get her.
Get her. Come on, get her.
- Michelle.
- Go away.
Can't a girl
get some rest?
[both chuckling]
Okay. I'm up.
I'm up. I'm up.
[laughing]
I got to get an alarm clock.

[instrumental music]
Alright, see
what daddy made you?
A little doggy.
See that guy?
Cow.
- See the cow?
- The cow.
No, no, no.
No, no, guys.
It's not a cow.
I-It's a German Shepherd.
Look, woof, woof,
woof, woof.
- Moo..
No.
No, guys, no moo-moo.
It's not, it's not a cow.
See, look, look,
it's got doggy ears
doggy feet, and
only has one stomach.
- See?
- Yeah.
Cow.
- Hey, nice cow.
- Cow. It's a cow. Okay.
Cow. Moo. Everyone happy now?
It's a cow. There you go.
What's up, Michelle?
Oh, nothing. You're busy
playing with Nicky and Alex.
Michelle.
Hey, listen, I-I'm never
too busy for you, pal.
Can you help me with
my honey bee project?
It's a pop stick house.
Oh, right now,
I-I'm kind of..
Busy?
Michelle, come here.
Come here, come here.
Now, listen, pal.
I'm, I'm sorry.
I realize since Nicky
and Alex were born
we haven't been hanging
out too much, have we?
Didn't wanna mention it.
Yeah, I feel it, too.
I guess it's kinda tough
with our busy schedules.
I guess we keep missing
each other, huh?
Daddy.
Alright, guys,
I-I'll be right there.
Yeah.
Well, nice talking to you.
Ho-ho-ho-hold it,
Michelle.
Now listen,
you know what?
I promise you.
Tonight, with no
interruptions or anything
you and I are gonna sit down
and we're gonna build
a dream pop stick house,
how's that sound?
- You mean it?
- Absolutely.
- Is it a date?
- It's a date.
Hmm.
What am I gonna wear?
Joey, Vicky's gonna
be here any minute.
How do I look?
Well, let's see, uh,
something's crooked.
Either it's your tie
or your body.
Uh, how's this?
That's better.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey, Steph.
Hey, Steph. So what're
your plans for tonight?
Oh, big night.
I thought I'd do
nothing for a while
finish off with
a little dullness
and then bore myself
to sleep.
Well, don't forget
to floss.
Come on, Steph, what gives?
Dad, I'm 10 years old.
I thought I'd have
a life by now.
You know, Steph, it's too bad
you're not my age.
I can do pretty much
absolutely anything I want
anytime I want to.
No date, tonight, huh?
Zipola.
Hey, Steph, what do
you say we round up
everyone who's free and
go see a drive-in movie?
Yes.
I have plans.
I tell you
I love the drive-in.
You can bring your
own snack food.
Hey, do I have time
to whip up a quick meatloaf?
Hey, guys.
Gibbler, don't
you ever knock?
I used to, but
no one ever let me in.
Hey, T-bone.
I love that tie.
You love my tie?
I better change it.
Where's D.J.?
She's up in her room.
She's been getting
dressed forever.
Uh, and I know why.
She's getting ready
for the big surprise.
Surprise?
Yeah, right.
Like you don't know
it's my birthday.
I'm 16 today.
An what would that be
in human years?
Come on, admit it.
D.J.'s gotta be
planning something
really big
for my birthday.
So spill it,
twerpozoid.
Kimmy, I don't
know a thing.
And believe me,
if there was a surprise
I'd love to ruin
it for you.
Fine, I'll go along.
I'll just pretend
I don't know a thing.
That'll be easy.
[doorbell rings]
I'll be right there.
Coming.
Okay.
[sighs]
Vicky.
- Hi.
- I missed you.
- I missed you, too.
- Mmm-mm.
Hey, horn dogs.
Get a room.
Kimmy, you know,
I-I think you've been taking
that welcome mat
a little too literally.
So, uh, what's
on the agenda?
8 o'clock dinner,
10 o'clock movie?
No, no, no, no, no.
That was the old,
predictable, Danny.
This is the new,
impetuous Danny.
[chuckling]
How's a helicopter tour
over San Francisco sound?
Oh, impetuous, Danny,
that sounds so romantic.
Yeah, I took a helicopter ride
after a Luau in Hawaii.
Here's a little tip.
If you've got a gut
full of roast pig
bring an airsick bag.
Cheese doodle?
Wow, Deej.
You really
look grown-up.
So you trying to get
into an R-rated movie?
Steve's taking me out
for our six-month anniversary.
But he won't tell me where.
Uh, wait a minute.
Is that all you've got
planned for tonight?
Yeah, why?
Well, I think you
should know that--
Whoa, somebody's dressed up
for something special.
Hey, Kimmy, did Steve tell you
anything about tonight?
I don't have a clue.
That's for sure.
I can't believe Steve
and I have been going out
six months tonight.
Amazing, your anniversary
and my 16th birthday
falling on the same day.
That day would be...today.
What a coincidence.
Coincidence?
I'd call it a bombshell.
Kaboom!
My parents wanted to fly me to
Pittsburgh for WrestleMania VI
but I said no way.
I knew my best friend
would be planning
the greatest night
of my life.
Does she know you, or what?
Well, I can see
I'm way underdressed.
So I'll go
home and change.
Oh, don't worry,
when I come back
I promise I'll act surprised.
Me, too.
Thanks, Deej.
Oh, no.
I forgot the most important day
of my best friend's life.
This is horrible.
She's never gonna set foot
in this house again.
And the horrible
part would be..
I blew it.
What am I gonna do?
[instrumental music]
Huh, I can't believe
I forgot Kimmy's birthday.
I don't have a gift, a card.
What am I going to do?
I've got it, tell Kimmy we all
went through a time warp
and it's a month earlier
than it really is.
Great, we can flip
the calendars
get some old
TV guides and..
What am I saying?
Kimmy will never believe that.
Why not? She believes
the Pillsbury doughboy is real.
(Joey)
'Common, Steph,
we're ready to go.'
Boy, Deej, you're really
in a rough spot.
Well, have a nice night.
Steph, wait.
Stephanie.
Hey, Michelle,
I've run out of lumber.
We're working
as fast as we can.
Okay, this should be enough
for you, sweetheart.
- Have a good time.
- Bye-bye.
- See you later.
Freeze.
Nobody's going anywhere.
Alright, I confess.
I ate the last cupcake.
But it wasn't my fault.
The frosting,
the sprinkles..
He was asking for it.
Guys, this is serious.
I forgot that today
is Kimmy's birthday.
Well, the day's
not over.
Give her a call.
Bye-bye.
- See you later.
- Bye-bye.
Wait!
This is an emergency.
Kimmy's 16.
She's thinks I've planned
this big surprise party for her.
If we don't give her one,
she'll be crushed.
What, we?
Why we all of a sudden?
Just call a couple of her
friends and pay 'em enough.
They'll show up.
It's Saturday night.
Everyone has plans.
You guys have to help.
She'll be back any minute.
Oh, Deej,
look, I'm sorry.
But Vicky and I have a really
special night ahead of us.
I've been planning to be
impetuous for two weeks, now.
Danny, we can always
take a helicopter ride
but Kimmy will
only be 16 once.
Yeah, but she'll be
a sophomore twice.
If my best friend
forgot my 16th birthday
I would have been
devastated.
I know this family.
When someone's in trouble
you all pitch in.
Maybe I'm thinking
of the Walton's.
Oh, Vicky's right.
Deej, count me in.
Thanks, Aunt Becky.
You guys don't want to
see me beg, do you?
I do.
Oh, come on,
she needs our help.
What do you say, guys?
- Alright. I'm in.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, sweetheart.
My first date,
and it's over like that.
Listen, I'll make it up
to you, I promise.
We don't wanna hurt
Kimmy's feelings, do we?
Michelle..
Okay, I don't want
her to be sad.
That's my girl.
What about
my honey bee house?
Now, we'll j-just make it
a honey bee fence, that's all.
Thanks, you guys.
Now, we have to get started.
What do we do?
Okay, just relax.
All we need is a plan.
Good, good.
Plans are good.
I'll tell you what,
Joey, Rebecca and I
will take care
of decorations.
Good, good. Decorations
are good, just like plans.
Ah, D.J., you, Steph,
and I, we can do the cake.
Good, good, cake is good,
more good stuff.
[chuckles]
Okay, let's get started.
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Okay, boys
we're gonna go
decorate for a party.
- Well?
- Yeah.
'Yeah, actually you look
pretty festive already.'
What do you think?
Come on, boy,
yum, yum, yum.
Look at that.
Red.
Okay, Michelle,
we're on gift patrol.
You mean we're
going shopping?
Yeah, more like rummaging.
Cake, cake, cake.
There's nothing in here.
Who's eating all the food?
Your boyfriend, robo-mouth.
[sighs]
What's in the freezer?
Um, hash brown potatoes
and a box of baking soda.
Kimmy will eat either.
[knock on door]
Oh, no, she's here.
How did she change so fast?
Everybody back in the kitchen.
Kimmy's here.
Everybody. Kimmy's here.
Get down here.
[knock on door]
Surprise!
Wow! You Tanners really
know how to treat a guy.
- Steve. Aw.
- What?
What, too much cologne?
No, Steve, they were
expecting somebody else.
You have another date?
No, no.
I was just so excited
about our anniversary
I completely forgot
it was Kimmy's birthday.
So we're throwing together
this surprise party.
- And you have to help.
- Oh, Deej.
But tonight was gonna
be really special.
Just you and me
a ferry ride
across the bay..
...dinner for two
in Sausalito.
Then we'll hold hands
and walk on the beach.
You can handle the party,
can't you, Steph?
Nice try, Deej.
O-oh, flowers.
We can use these.
[instrumental music]
Here comes Kimmy.
Everyone put on your hats.
[groaning]
The hats, please?
She's here.
Everyone hide.
That's what I always do.
Oh, boy.
It sure is dark in here.
I wonder why.
(all)
Surprise!
All this for moi?
I don't believe it.
Nice hat, Deej.
And, Comet,
you came, too.
All these years,
I thought you hated me.
That was me.
Vicky, so that's why
you flew in, for my birthday.
Well, would I miss the 16th
birthday of a Ms. Kimmy Gilbert?
Gibbler.
Sorry, jet lag.
Wow.
This is some surprise.
You're telling us.
Oh, what's with the Halloween
and Christmas decorations?
Well, well, uh--
See, Kimmy, your birthday is
n-not just a regular birthday.
It's a, it's
a national holiday.
Toilet paper,
how creative.
Oh, yeah, two-ply.
Only the best
for you, Kimmy.
Uh, by the way,
we're all out upstairs.
This is great, Deej.
But where's all our friends?
Oh...well, um..
I thought it would be much
more special to just have
the people who really
care about you.
Do I feel a group hug
coming on?
[beeping]
Oh, cake's ready.
Wait a minute., Vicky.
I'll help.
You baked a cake for me?
Baked, defrosted, whatever.
That's not all.
We even got you presents.
Yeah, you're not an easy person
to shop for, young lady.
You mean rummage.
Well, sit down, Kimmy
a-and happy..
Close your eyes.
Happy birthday.
There you go, see?
[paper crinkling]
Wow!
A half bottle of perfume.
Yeah, well, t-the darn
stuff's so expensive
t-they only sell it
by the half bottle.
Hey, that's my--
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Favorite perfume.
Boy, I-I hope you enjoy it
as much as I did, do.
Thanks.
A video.
"Sticks and Bones,
Hockey's greatest fights."
- Thanks.
- You're welcome.
Just, uh, have it
back by seven
or they'll charge you
for an extra day.
Wow!
Some sticks glued together.
I'm so happy, I don't even care
that this is worthless.
I'm glad you like it.
And last,
but not least.
Deej, they're beautiful!
And there's a note.
There is?
"I'm crazy about you,
sugar lips."
"Sugar lips?"
Uh...yeah, um..
Kimmy, don't you remember
when we were 11
and you ate that
powdered doughnut
and got sugar
all over your lips?
No.
Well, you did and I always meant
to call you sugar lips.
Deej, that is so sweet
and weird.
Happy birthday, Kimmy.
Here you go, Kimmy
a hashed browned
potato cake.
With my own special
ketchup frosting.
You made a cake out of my
favorite breakfast side dish.
I'm going to cry.
Thanks, everybody.
Hey, hey, D.J. deserves
all the credit.
Who else could have thrown all
this together in 15 minutes?
Uh, not-not that she did.
But, uh, let's, let's say if
she ever forgot your birthday
and, um, only had 15 minutes
she could have
thrown this together.
Nice save. Not.
Now I get it.
This was a mercy party.
You never planned anything.
You forgot my
birthday, didn't you?
Kimmy, I--
Thanks, everybody.
At least you tried.
It's nice to know
you all care about me
even though
my best friend doesn't.
- Kimmy, I'm sorry.
- Forget it.
Don't you have an
anniversary to celebrate?
I don't understand why
you're so jealous of Steve.
You think I'm jealous?
You don't know me at all.
She left.
- Can you blame her?
- I apologized.
I mean there's no law
that says you have to
throw your friend
a birthday party.
Deej, it's, it's not just
about a birthday party.
You know, since Steve's
been your boyfriend
I think Kimmy's
been left out.
You've been dating
Steve for six months.
You've been friends
with Kimmy for six years.
Seven.
I think you're still
blocking out 1989.
Look, Deej..
..in life,
if you're lucky
you wind up with a few
really good friends.
And for some reason,
beyond my realm of understanding
Kimmy is yours.
Just like Joey
and Jesse are mine.
And w-with friends, you really
have to come through for them.
I mean when I needed Joey and
Jesse to raise you three girls
they were here in a second.
Of course, they didn't know
a diaper from a dinner napkin
which made for some pretty
interesting meals.
But they were here.
And I'd have been
there for them.
And, uh, you ought to be
there for Kimmy.
I'll go next door
and talk to her.
That's my girl.
Okay, you go talk
to Kimmy
and I'll talk to Steve
sugar lips.
What are you doing here?
Well, I can't go home.
My parents think you're
throwing me a party.
I'd look like a dork
coming in at 8.30.
[sighs]
Kimmy, I'm really sorry
I forgot your birthday.
It was a lousy thing to do,
and I'll never forgive myself
for hurting your feelings.
Never?
Never.
Will it eat at you till your
tormented night and day
like my dad after
a bunch of bad clams?
Come on, Kimmy,
don't put me through this.
You put me through the most
humiliating night of my life.
You forgot my birthday.
And you accused me of being
jealous of your boyfriend.
I should have
never said that.
That really hurt
because I'm not jealous.
Steve's a great guy,
and I'm happy for you.
I just miss you.
It's like you have
a new best friend.
Kimmy...you are
my best friend.
And you always will be.
T-There are so many things
I can do with you
that I could never
do with Steve.
Like what?
Like talk about Steve.
Steve and I can't go
through each other's closets.
He has nothing in my size.
Believe me, Kimmy
no one could
take your place.
I guess I am one of a kind.
Kimmy, you and I
have been best friends
since the day
you moved next door.
I want to stay
best friends forever.
You mean it?
Thanks, Deej.
Hey, how about
next Friday night
just you and me?
We'll go out
for your birthday.
Sounds great.
Do you want to go
back to the party?
You think there's any
hash brown cake left?
Oh, I can pretty much
guarantee it.
