Joey, Danny, Stephanie and DJ are in the living room which is covered in party decorations. Michelle, Jesse and Becky come downstairs.
Michelle: Let's start the party now!
DJ: Michelle, your little friends aren't here yet.

Jesse: All right, Michelle, this has everything in your whole entire life, starting from the day you were born.
Becky: (looking at the first page) Look, Michelle, there's your birth announcement and your hospital bracelet.

Michelle: Dad!
Jesse: (pointing to a photo) look at this. this is a picture I took the day Joey and I moved in.

We get a flashback from "Our very first Show". Jesse and Joey are in Michelle's room.
Joey: Jesse, what if she needs to be... uh... changed?
Jesse: Check it out. Go.
Joey: (looking at the inside of the nappy) We have a winner. Now what?
Jesse: Joseph. Put yourself in her place. What would you want done?
Joey: I've never changed a diaper.
Jesse: Me neither. At least you touched one. All right, look out; I'll show you how it's done. (to Michelle) Come here child. You believe this guy? (to Joey) All right, make yourself useful.
Joey: I'll take the south end.
Jesse: Good.
Jesse and Joey leave the room, holding Michelle and head downstairs.
Joey & Jesse: ( climbing down the stairs) Step one, step two, step one, step two, step one, step two, step one, step two.

Stephanie: (in the front room) Showtime!
Jesse and Joey walking to the kitchen with Michelle, followed by Stephanie.
Joey: Where will we put the baby?
Jesse: Where will we put the child?
Joey: Uh, the pot, over here.
Jesse: Whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa... whoa! Joey, this is a livingthing. You don't stick it in a pot; use a meat rack.
Joey: I'm an idiot.
Jesse: Uh, come on.
Joey: Okay.
Jesse: All right, good.
Joey: All right, great.
Jesse: Settle down here; here we go.
Stephanie: Are you going to cook Michelle?
Joey: We're changing her diaper.
Stephanie: Oh, then how do you roast a turkey?
Jesse: Steph! Joey and I are busy. Joey, strip her. All right, careful there.
You're in control. All right, slide it off and... ugh!
Joey: Uh... uh... (puts the dirty diaper into a plastic bowl and covers thebowl)
Jesse: Good thinking, Joey, keep it fresh.
Joey: Okay, hold her up; I'll clean her off.
Jesse: Good idea. Come on, Michelle, all right. (Joey tries to shoot water at Michelle to clean her off...) You're missing! You're missing! You're missing! All right now, come on, gently now, gently now, gently... There we go. This is great; we should be mothers.
Joey: Oh, yeah.
Jesse: All right, let's dry her up.
Joey: Okay. Fan her. Fan her fanny. Fan her fanny.
They put Michelle in front of a fan and turn it on to dry her.
Joey: You know these babies have it made? I would kill for this kind of service.
Jesse: All right, diapers.
Joey: Diaper... diaper
Jesse: Where are diapers?
Joey: Diapers...
Jesse: Diapers...
Joey: Diapers, diapers...
Jesse: Diapers...
Joey: (holding up a roll of paper towels) Hey, super absorbent.
Jesse: Bring it over. Okay, now what?
Joey brings over the role of paper towel.
Joey: Okay, spin her.
Jesse: Spin her.
Joey: Spin her.
Jesse spins round inside the paper towels wrapping him and Michelle.
Jesse: Spin her. All right, now, wrap her up in this, come on. Put her right in here. (puts Michelle's bottom half, now wrapped in paper towel, into a sandwich bag) It's too easy.
Joey: Works for me.
Jesse: And, hey, you spill some juice on the counter?
Joey: Just wipe it up with baby tiny bum.

In the present...
Michelle: You guys were dumb.
Jesse: Well, we were learning on the job.

We get another flashback: Joey and Jesse are in the kitchen. Michelle's in her high chair.
Jesse: All right, Joey, you try. I give up.
Joey: Okay, Michelle here it comes.
Joey directs the spoon to Michelle's mouth making a small buzzing noise, but Michelle won't take it.
Joey: Oh, come on. It tastes really good. Watch this.
Joey makes the same buzzing noise as he directs the spoon to Jesse's mouth, who wasn't expecting it and pulls a face.

Another flashback of Jesse, Joey and Michelle in the bathroom.
Joey: Let's give her that Marilyn Monroe look. Bangs sweeping to the left, curls framing the face...
Jesse: She's got a look that could pull that off, but I think it would be a crime to cover that pretty little face, so I say we pull it back and give her a more sophisticated look. More of the Madonna, Brigitte Nielson, look. See? (pulls Michelle's fringe back.)
Joey: That's Jack Nicolson. Why don't we give her a kind of a Pebbles Flintstone kind of a fun-do.

Danny: Here, move over. (he sits on the bed next to Michelle) Michelle, you have to realize that no matter how big you get, you'll always be my little princess, just like Stephanie will always be my little Lady-bug, and DJ's always going to be my little tennis-ball head.
DJ: Does somebody want to trade?
Michelle: But I like being the baby. I'm good at it.
Jesse: Shorty, you're not special because you're the baby, you're special because you're you. I ought to know, because we've had some pretty cool times together, haven't we?
