Episode (16) 208 - Jesse's Comeback

Teaser:

We find the whole family in the living room, sitting together...

Danny: Okay, family photo 1999!

Jesse: Danny, can't we do this tomorrow ?

Danny: Why ?

Jesse: Because I am having a really bad hair day and this afternoon I'll go to Allejandro, my

hairdresser.

Becky: That's all ?

Jesse: That's all ? You know how important great hair can be.

Joey: Can we please have this done ? Roadrunner starts in two minutes.

Danny: Okay. Everybody say 'clean!'

Stephanie: Clean ?

All: Clean!

The camera flashes....

Danny: Okay, we're ready.

Michelle: No we're not.

DJ: You forgot something.

Danny: What ?

Michelle: You didn't put a film in the camera.

Danny: Oops. I guess we have to do this again.

Nicky: Do we have to say 'clean' again ?

Alex: Normal people say 'cheese'.

Steve: That sure makes me smiling.

Danny: Okay, the film is in the camera, say 'clean' again!

All: Clean again!

----------------------------------------------------------------- INTRO -----------------------------------------------------------------

We find Jesse and Becky on the attic...

Becky: What are you doing ?

Jesse: I'm polishing the strings of my guitar.

Becky: Are you turning into some kind of Danny or something ?

Jesse: No, I took a really important decision.

Becky: Finally. I thought you'd never buy a normal blow dryer. Why on earth do you need one

with a build in brush ?

Jesse: Because my hair will be blown in a mess without that.

Becky: What important decision did you take then ?

Jesse: I'm going back in business, I will call the Munkey Puppets back together again.

Becky: You are ?

Jesse: Yes. The band needed a break and I think that has been lasting for too long now.

Becky: But you won't get all of them back together. I believe two of them died last year.

Jesse: Then I will look for somebody to take their places.

Becky: Good luck. Well, I have to go, Danny is waiting. Bye.

Becky leaves the attic, Jesse takes the phone and makes a call....

Jesse: Hello Dragon, how are you ? Hey, what about a come-back with the group ? You can't ?

Why not ? Oh, I see, you have a solo tour next week. What ? O, your new single is number

one in almost whole Europe ? How nice.

Jesse puts down the receiver and takes it up again, and he dials another number...

Jesse: Slaughter, how are you boy ? O, you're in jail right now ? No, never mind. Bye. (He puts

down the receiver) Then there's only one member left...

Then Michelle walks up the stairs...

Michelle: Uncle Jesse ?

Jesse keeps staring to the wall and doesn't answer Michelle...

Michelle: Uncle Jesse, what's wrong ?

Jesse: Oh hi Michelle. What's wrong ? I don't know. I want to make some music again. I just

want to get back to stages with the band. But two of the old members are dead, one is in

jail and one is very successful without us.

Michelle: But I thought there were five Munkey Puppets ?

Jesse: Yes, there's one I didn't call: Viper.

Michelle: So why don't you call him ?

Jesse: Because the band will never be complete again.

We find DJ and Stephanie in the kitchen when Steve and the twins walk in...

Nicky: We won, we won!

DJ: I guess you won your first match as coach, Steve ?

Steve: We sure did.

Alex: I catched a ball.

Nicky: And I have hit one.

Steve: And guess what ?

DJ: What ?

Steve: This coaching stuff is really cool.

Stephanie: You mean you like to work with the kiddo's ?

Steve: That too, but what I was trying to say is that I have a favorite man.

DJ: The pitcher, the catcher ?

Steve: No, the man who sells the hotdogs. I even get them for free.

Stephanie: That will cost them money.

Steve: Okay boys, what do you want ? Chocolate or strawberry ice cream ?

Nicky: Strawberry.

Alex: Chocolate.

Steve: Hm. I can't choose, so I take both. (he walks to the refrigerator and takes some ice out of

it) Yum, I need this.

Steve and the boys sit down at the table....

Stephanie: So what was the score ?

Alex: 12-11.

DJ: So it was a close one.

Nicky: Yes it was. But I made the winning point.

Then the doorbell rings...

DJ: I'll get it. (She stands up and walks to the door)

Viper: Hi Deej.

DJ: Viper ?

Viper: Yes, it's me. It's so good to see you again.

DJ: I guess so. What are you doing here ?

Viper: Your uncle called me, he wants the band back together.

DJ: Well, he is upstairs.

Viper: Okay. I'll see you later then.

Viper walks up the stairs. DJ closes the door and walks back to the kitchen...

Stephanie: Who was it ?

DJ: Viper.

Steve: Who did you say ? Diaper ?

DJ: No, Viper. He's here for uncle Jesse, but I have a feeling he didn't come for him only.

Steve: Who is that guy then ?

Stephanie: A member of the Munkey Puppets. And he is also an ex-boyfriend of DJ.

DJ: After we broke up, I had something going on with Viper for a while.

Steve: So you forgot me after we broke up ? (He walks away)

DJ: Thanks Steph.

Stephanie: You're welcome.

Nicky: Does this mean Steve doesn't want his ice cream anymore ?

Alex: We can eat it.

Then Steve walks back in...

DJ: Steve, can we talk ?

Steve: No, I only came back because I forgot my ice cream. (He takes the ice cream and walks

into the garage again...)

We find Jesse and Joey up the attic when Viper walks in...

Jesse: Hi Viper.

Viper: Hello. So, where's the rest of the band ?

Jesse: Ehm, well, how will I say this...

Joey: What he tries to tell you is that you are the rest of the band.

Viper: So I came all this way for nothing ?

Jesse: No, of course not. We will find some new band members.

Joey: Like me. (He starts singing) Knocking on Danny's door!

Jesse: Thank you Joseph, we heard enough.

Joey: Does this mean I'm hired ?

Jesse: No, this means...ehm.. don't call us, we don't call you.

Joey: Al right, then I won't be waiting at the phone. (he walks away)

Viper: Jesse, do you think a come-back will be successful ?

Jesse: I don't know. I sure hope so.

Viper: I already thought up a name for our new band. The VJ band.

Jesse: VJ ?

Viper: Oh sorry, you want to call it the JV band ?

Jesse: Not as long as I don't know what it stands for.

Viper: The Jesse Viper band, of course.

Jesse: That's no good name.

Viper: You're right, we better stick with my first idea: the Viper Jesse band.

Jesse: Hey, I'm still the leader of the band.

Viper: Yeah, but without me you're nothing.

Jesse: What do you mean by that ?

Viper: isn't that obvious ? Look at you, you're no star.

Jesse: You're so wrong.

Then Becky walks up the stairs

Becky: Hi guys, what's happening ?

Viper: Nothing, we were just talking. About the truth. (He walks down the stairs)

Jesse: Yeah, just walk away. (He sits down)

Becky: What was that all about ?

Jesse: Nothing. He only thinks I'm nothing without him. And you know what ? He's right.

Becky: How can you say that ?

Jesse: Just look at me. I've never been a star, the only success I had was in 1993 with the Rippers.

Becky: Why don't you start for your own /

Jesse: How, like Jesse and the no ones ?

Becky: That's a start.

We find Stephanie and Gia in Stephanie's room...

Gia: Do you know that new movie ?

Stephanie: you mean that one with Brad Pitt ?

Gia: Yes, shall we go there tonight ?

Stephanie: I'm already going. With Jason.

Gia: I didn't know it was that serious between the two of you.

Stephanie: He's so sweet.

Gia: So when is it going to happen ?

Stephanie: What ?

Gia: You know, sleep with him.

Stephanie: Gia, please stop. That won't be happening for some time.

Gia: Why not ? You love him, he loves you, you're dating.

Stephanie: Only for two weeks now. It's just too soon.

Gia: I wish I had a boyfriend.

Stephanie: You are the one that broke up with David.

Gia: What should I have done ? He said he was a vegetarian.

Stephanie: So, what does that say ?

Gia: That he doesn't eat meat ?

Stephanie: I don't think that's a good reason to break up.

Gia: He also had many pimples.

Stephanie: No good reason.

Gia: He likes to wear woman clothes ?

Stephanie: That can be a good reason.

Gia: Then why didn't he do that ? Then I would have a good reason now. Well, there's one thing

left about him.

Stephanie: What ?

Gia: Besides me he had four other girlfriends.

Stephanie: Good thing that you dumped him. But what about Mark ?

Gia: Mark ?

Stephanie: Yes. I can see you like him when you're with him.

Gia: But I don't think he likes me that way.

Stephanie: Then just ask him.

Gia: When ?
Stephanie: Right now, we will go ask him. (She stands up and pulls Gia with her)

We find DJ in the living room when Viper walks in....

Viper: Hi Deej.

DJ: Oh hi. How was your meeting with my uncle ?

Viper: Don't ask. He thinks he's the boss. He even said I was nothing without him.

DJ: He did ? That doesn't sound like him.

Viper: DJ, I really missed you. Let's start all over again.

DJ: No. Viper, I am engaged and pregnant. Things have changed.

Viper: That doesn't mind. (He walks to DJ and starts kissing her)

DJ: Viper, stop this.

Then Steve walks in...

Steve: DJ! What are you doing there ? I knew it.

DJ: Steve, it's not what you think it is.

Steve: Oh no ? Well, it looked like you were kissing to me.

Viper: We were. She still loves me.

Steve: DJ, I'm outta here. Goodbye. (he walks away angrily)

DJ: Viper, get out of here.

Viper: But it was so cosy.

Then Danny walks in...

Danny: Hi Viper, I'm happy to see you.

Viper: You are ?

Danny: Yes, I thought I smelled mildew, but now I know where it comes from.

DJ: Well, Viper was just leaving.

Viper: No I wasn't.

Danny: What are you guys up to ?

Then Steve walks in with a case in his hand...

DJ: Steve, what are you doing ?

Steve: Like I said, I'm outta here. Goodbye DJ.

DJ: No Steve, wait! (She walks behind Steve)

Steve: Don't try to stop me.

DJ: But....

Steve: Nothing you say can make me go back inside.

DJ: There's a pineapple pie in the kitchen.

Steve: Okay, almost nothing. (He turns and walks back in)

DJ: Can we talk ?

Viper: Why would you talk to him ?

DJ: Get out, Viper, I never wanna see you again!

DJ follows Steve into the kitchen...

We find Stephanie and Gia at Mark's place...

Mark: Hey girls, what brings you here ?

Stephanie: We want to ask something.

Gia: Like if we can come in.

Mark: Sure, but please wipe your feet, I've been vacuuming for over the last two hours.

Stephanie: That long ?

Mark: Yes, I forgot to put the plug in.

Gia: Didn't you notice that sooner ?

Mark: No, I had my discman on and I usually don't hear the vacuum cleaner with that thing in

my ears.

Stephanie: Sounds logical.

Gia: What we wanted to ask. Well, how will we put this ?

Stephanie: What she's trying to say is... Well, she wants to know...

Gia: You see, I want to ask you...

Mark: Is it that hard to ask ?

Gia: How's your love life ?

Mark: Great! My wife's coming over tomorrow.

Stephanie: You're married ?

Mark: Sure. More people do that nowadays.

Gia: Okay, that was all. Bye. (She walks out of the door) Steph, are you coming ?

Stephanie: In a moment. Mark, did you tell the truth ?

Mark: Oh no, was I under oath ?

Stephanie: Very funny. Just know you just broke somebody's heart.

Mark: I did ? When ?

Stephanie: My god, are you sure your back name isn't Gibbler ?

Mark: Hey, then I would have killed myself years ago.

Stephanie: Al right, that remark was too rude.

Mark: But why did you ask this ?

Stephanie: Think about it and you will know.

Stephanie walks away, Mark closes the door...

Gia: I don't believe this.

Stephanie: I think Mark didn't get the clue.

We find Joey and Michelle in the kitchen...

Michelle: Joey, can you help me with my homework ?

Joey: Sure. What's the problem ?

Michelle: I need to know how I can distract 12 from mars.

Joey: Huh ? Who made that sum ?

Michelle: I don't know.

Joey: It's a very strange one.

Then Danny walks in...

Michelle: Dad, how much is mars minus 12 ?

Danny: Not enough chocolate for everybody ?

Joey: That's it!

Danny: Let me see that. (He takes the book from Michelle) Where is it ?

Michelle: In my mind, fooled you !

Joey: Hey, that's not nice.

Michelle: No, but it worked.

Then Kimmy walks in...

Kimmy: (Sneezing) Hello Tannerito's! (Sneezes again)

Danny: Bless you!

Kimmy: Thanks. I have catched a cold.

Michelle: You don't say so.

Danny: What brought you here ?

Kimmy: I don't know. (She sneezes again)

Danny: I see. You want to spread your cold here.

Kimmy: You know, I forgot what I came for. I have that always when I'm ill, then my brains

don't work properly.

Michelle: It must be a chronic disease then.

Kimmy: When I remember what I came for I'll come back.

Joey: We prefer not.

We find Jesse in the Smash club, when mark walks in...

Jesse: Hi mark, what can I do for you ?

Mark: I've got a question. It's about love.

Jesse: Then you came to the right person, I have a degree on that you know.

Mark: Well, can you explain to me how to understand girls ?

Jesse: Well, that's the most difficult thing to do. When you think they want you they don't and

when you think they don't they do.

Mark: That sounds complicated.

Jesse: It is. But most of the time they will give you hints. They want you to ask them.

Mark: What kind of hints ?

Jesse: They search contact with you, or they offer you a drink. That reminds me of Cindy, one of

my old girlfriends. She offered me drinks all night. But at the end I could pay for them.

Mark: Thanks, I think I know enough.

Jesse: Tell me, did you ever had a girlfriend before ?

Mark: To be honest: no.

Jesse: Can you help me now ? Please tell me what you think of my new song /

Mark: Sure, I will listen.

We find Steve in the living room when Becky walks in...

Becky: Hi Steve.

Steve: Hi. Can I ask you something ?

Becky: Sure.

Steve: Have I been acting stupid today when I thought DJ was betraying on me ?

Becky: What do you think ?

Steve: I think I need some food. But I don't think you meant that ?

Becky: If you want an answer to this question, you have to talk to DJ. You already condemned

her without talking to her.

Steve: You're right. I'll go talk to her right now.

Steve stands up and walks into the kitchen, where DJ is sitting...

Steve: Deej, we have to talk. I'm sorry I acted like a jerk today.

DJ: Why did you do that ?

Steve: I guess I couldn't handle it when you told me you loved other persons after we broke up.

DJ: Like you didn't.

Steve: Yes. I only thought of you. I always had the feeling we shouldn't have broke up.

DJ: I didn't no that. Sorry.

Steve: It doesn't mind. But can you please forgive me that I didn't trust you ?

DJ: Yes I can. We all make mistakes.

Steve: But this one was a real big one.

Then the phone rings. DJ walks to the phone and takes the receiver...

DJ: Hello ? Yes, that's me. What ? Oh no. I understand, thank you. (She puts down the receiver)

Steve: Who was it ?

DJ: The hospital. Viper has been in an accident, he asked for me. I have to go there.

Steve: I'll come with you.

Later we find DJ and Steve in the hospital with Viper...

Viper: Thanks for coming. DJ, I'm sorry.

DJ: It's the phrase of the day I guess.

Viper: I have serious problems, I became an alcoholic and that had a bad influence on my

behavior.

DJ: That explains. You never were this crazy.

Viper: I know, and the doctor told me I have to go to an institute to kick this habit.

Steve: So alcoholics will be what food is for me ?

DJ: No Steve, it's worse. Even if that sounds impossible.

Viper: I want you to know you're a great couple. Steve, you're a lucky man.

Steve: Tell me. I've got DJ, and a house with a refrigerator that's always filled with food.

DJ: Viper, please take good care of yourself.

Viper: I will. Don't be afraid.

Steve: And remember, never use whipped cream for your corn-flakes, when you're out of milk.

DJ: I thought you eat everything ?

Steve: I do. But not everybody has a strong stomach to handle this.

Viper: You have to go now I broke my leg and they are going to operate. I hope I can see you

again some time.

DJ: Me too.

DJ and Steve leave Viper's room...

Steve: And now ?

DJ: We're going to the Smash Club, my uncle will sing his new song tonight.

We find Stephanie and Gia at Gia's house...

Stephanie: Are you coming with me to the Smash Club ?

Gia: No I don't think so. I guess mark will be there.

Stephanie: So ? Isn't that a good reason why you should go /

Gia: No, I really don't....

Stephanie: Hey, I will be there with Jason, and you will be there with Mark.

Gia: But you heard what he said.

Stephanie: You know he likes to joke around.

Gia: Bu...

Stephanie: Shut up! We're leaving now. (She takes Gia's arm and walks away)

Gia: Objection!

Stephanie: Okay, we're going to make you look so pretty mark can't resist you.

Gia: Hey, we don't have to do anything then.

Stephanie: (Smiling) That's the spirit girl!

They walk into Gia's bedroom...

Stephanie: (Opening Gia's closet) Look, this dress will do the trick.

Gia: But it makes me look fat.

Stephanie: Impossible. And if it did, just go on a diet.

Gia: You're really bossy tonight.

Stephanie: Hey, you brought Jason and me together, now I will do something like that for you.

We find Jesse and Becky behind the scenes in the Smash Club...

Jesse: I'm so nervous. I never thought I would feel this way when I would have my come-back.

Becky: But there's a big pressure on you. You have to let the fans hear another song, and it has to

be as good as your old ones.

Jesse: I hope they all like it.

Becky: Hey, don't have any doubts. Maybe this will help. (She kisses Jesse)

Jesse: Have mercy! That sure did the trick.

Then Nicky and Alex walk to Jesse...

Nicky: Daddy, can you sing a song for us ?

Jesse: Sure, which one do you want ?

Alex: The ABC song.

Jesse: You're too old for that. What about some Elvis song ?

Nicky: The Jail song ?

Jesse: Sure, if you want that.

Becky: Come boys, daddy has to prepare himself.

Alex: Bye daddy.

Nicky: Good luck. Make us proud.

Alex: Then you'll get a cookie.

Jesse: Gee, you really keep the pressure up boys.

Nicky: We have to, else you wouldn't try as hard as you can.

Becky: I wonder who taught this to them.

Alex: You did.

Nicky: You always tell us this.

Becky: But I don't remember the cookie part.

Alex: Because daddy did that part.

Jesse: How do they get that ?

Becky: Come boys, we will leave daddy alone now. Good luck honey.

We find Stephanie, Gia and Jason sitting in the Smash Club....

Jason: Hey Steph, wanna dance ?

Stephanie: Sure. I like this song.

Gia: Huh ? You leave me here all by myself ?

Stephanie: Hey, remember what we talked about.

Gia: Sure.

Stephanie and Jason walk to the dance floor, Gia stays alone...

Gia: How cosy. Alone in a club. How are you ? Fine.

Mark: (Sits down on a chair opposite Gia) Schizophrenic ?

Gia: (Frightened) Oh it's you.

Mark: No, it's me. You are sitting opposite me.

Gia: (Smiling) Joker.

Mark: We better call Batman then. Gia, I want to apologize for this afternoon. I hope you're not

angry with me ?

Gia: No, of course not.

Mark: it's just I never had a girlfriend before and I have no idea what girls are like.

Gia: I see. I can tell you everything about that.

Mark: Cool. But first I want you to answer a question. Did you give me hints ?

Gia: Clever boy.

Mark: I know, I hear that every morning.

Gia: When you're looking in the mirror ?

Mark: No, when I wake up, that's even earlier.

Gia: (Laughing) You're really funny you know ?

Mark: Yes. I keep telling myself that too.

Gia: Wanna dance ?

Mark: Dance ? We ? I ? Oh no. I can't do that.

Gia: Why not ?

Mark: like I said, I can't. I never learned, never wanted to learn.

Gia: This is very easy. It's slow music. (She stands up and she and Mark walk to the dance floor)

Mark: (Walking next to Stephanie and Jason, who are kissing and dancing) Breath break!

Stephanie: How rude! You scared me to dead.

Mark: Now that's what happens when you don't get enough oxygen.

Then Becky walks to Mark...

Becky: Mark, can you do something ?

Mark: I already brushed my teeth. Did my grandmother send you ?

Becky: (Smiling) No, not that. Can you come with me ?

Mark: Sorry Gia, I have to work I think.

Gia: I don't mind.

Mark walks away with Becky...

Stephanie: And ?

Gia: I think he understood the hint.

Stephanie: Now it's up to you, him, and... what the .....

Stephanie, Gia and Jason look at the stage where Mark is standing...

Mark: Hello people. You came to see Jesse without the Rippers, but he couldn't make it. So we

have a replacement for you: Clippy the Clown.

The crowd yells...

Mark: Okay. I know, I'm a big joker, but you fooled for it. So enjoy yourself now, here he is: the

big man, the owner of this place, the legendary Jesse, also knows as Hot Daddy!

Mark steps backwards, Jesse walks to the front of the stage...

Jesse: Welcome San Francisco! Having fun ? Here is my new song, it's called 'For You, and I

want to dedicate this song to my wife Becky and my sons Nicky and Alex.

The crowd cheers, Jesse starts to sing...

Mark: (Walking to Gia) Okay, where were we ?

Gia: I believe here (She kisses Mark)

Stephanie: Don't forget to take a breath break.

Mark: Shut up, can't you see we are busy ?

Stephanie walks back to Jason, and they dance.

In the crowd we find Becky and Joey...

Becky: Look at those people, they are very enthusiastic!

Joey: I think they're thinking of the free drinks Jesse promised them.

Then the twins walk to Becky...

Nicky: This is cool!

Alex: Double cool!

Nicky: This is a great song, can we buy the record ?

Becky: (Laughing) Sure boys.

Danny, DJ and Steve are sitting at the bar...

DJ: What a great song.

Danny: I think he's back.

Steve: I think I'm hungry.

DJ: What does that have to do with the song ?

Steve: Well, when I hear this song in the future, I will be reminded to the fact that I am hungry

now. And that's something not many songs have.

Danny: I thought every song had that ?

Steve: No, because they don't all remind me of this time.

DJ: (Laughing) If you say so.

We find Michelle backstage when the song is over...

Michelle: that was really good, uncle Jesse.

Jesse: You think I can make a big come-back ?

Michelle: No, I think you just did.

Jesse: Thank you shorty, give me a hug.

Jesse and Michelle hug...

Later we find Becky and Jesse on the attic....

Jesse: This feeling I have is really great. I think I'm back.

Becky: You are. This song was so beautiful.

Jesse: Well, I guess I never lost touch.

Becky: Well, on that stage you lost your nerves.

Jesse: Thanks to Mark. He did a great job making the crowd cheering and yelling.

Becky: That's why I asked him.

Jesse: Thank you. I love you.

Becky: I know. And that's why I did it. Come, let's make some music.

Becky pulls Jesse into bed...

Jesse: Have mercy!
