1
00:00:01,167 --> 00:00:04,000
These are some of the best ways to give
your garden tools a good spring tune-up.
2
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:07,039
- Right, Al?
- That's right, but before we go,
3
00:00:07,107 --> 00:00:10,338
we'd like to make an announcement
I'm sure you all have been waiting for.
4
00:00:10,410 --> 00:00:13,174
Al is a woman trapped in a man's body.
5
00:00:16,216 --> 00:00:19,549
No. I'm sure our audience
knows that's not true.
6
00:00:19,619 --> 00:00:20,950
I'm just kidding, Al.
7
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:24,115
We invited our viewers to vote for their
all-time favorite guest here on Tool Time.
8
00:00:24,190 --> 00:00:25,987
and today we'll announce the winner.
9
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:29,324
That's right. You were able to go
down to your local hardware store
10
00:00:29,396 --> 00:00:33,662
and pick up a ballot that listed every
single guest we've ever had on Tool Time.
11
00:00:33,733 --> 00:00:37,567
although Bob Vila was left off that list.
12
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:40,536
Computer error, Al.
13
00:00:42,075 --> 00:00:45,841
Anyway, our three finalists are George
Foreman, Mario and Michael Andretti,
14
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:49,848
and Dwayne,
from the K&B Construction Company.
15
00:00:50,617 --> 00:00:54,018
From our ever-widening audience,
we've had thousands of viewers write in.
16
00:00:54,087 --> 00:00:57,386
- Lisa, what's the final count?
- 112 postcards, Tim.
17
00:00:57,457 --> 00:01:01,325
Thank you, Lisa. And the winner for the
most popular guest here on Tool Time is...
18
00:01:01,394 --> 00:01:04,192
(fanfare)
19
00:01:04,264 --> 00:01:06,664
I got goose bumps, I really do.
20
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:10,159
What? No.
21
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:15,639
Mario and Michael Andretti.
22
00:01:16,876 --> 00:01:18,434
(AI stutters)
23
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:20,775
Tim, that's not what...
That's not what it...
24
00:01:20,847 --> 00:01:22,337
- That's not what it says.
- Yes, it does.
25
00:01:22,415 --> 00:01:23,712
- No, it... No, it doesn't.
- Yes, it does.
26
00:01:23,783 --> 00:01:25,944
- Does not.
- Does too.
27
00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:29,214
Bob Vila.
28
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,854
It can't... It can't be...
It cannot be Bob Vila.
29
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:39,990
It can't be Bob Vila.
I erased his name...
30
00:01:40,066 --> 00:01:42,591
Computer error
took his name off that list.
31
00:01:42,669 --> 00:01:46,765
Well, maybe the viewers
did what I did and wrote his name in.
32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,138
That's what I did.
33
00:01:49,209 --> 00:01:51,677
Write-ins weren't allowed, Lisa.
34
00:01:51,744 --> 00:01:54,144
- Al told me I could.
- He did, did he?
35
00:01:54,214 --> 00:01:56,205
Yes, I did.
36
00:01:57,550 --> 00:02:02,112
So please join us next time when
we'll meet our winning guest, Bob Vila.
37
00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:05,749
So popular that, even though
he was deliberately left off the ballot,
38
00:02:05,825 --> 00:02:08,191
won with a write-in campaign.
39
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:09,751
So join us next time on Tool Time.
40
00:02:09,829 --> 00:02:13,094
when Bob and Al discuss how to
remove crusty food from their beards.
41
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:15,566
See you next time on Tool Time
42
00:03:29,042 --> 00:03:31,033
(Jill) Well, what do you think?
Could we put the kids in the middle?
43
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:37,441
Jill, this is unbelievable.
I've never won anything before.
44
00:03:37,517 --> 00:03:39,542
A day of beauty for two at Adriana's.
45
00:03:39,619 --> 00:03:44,818
It is so great that it is for two. Can you
imagine a whole day of being pampered?
46
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:46,984
What? Tim doesn't pamper you?
47
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:49,085
Yeah, right.
48
00:03:49,162 --> 00:03:54,361
Tim's idea of pampering me
is to wear his pants to breakfast.
49
00:03:54,434 --> 00:03:57,028
(oven timer dings)
50
00:03:57,103 --> 00:04:00,095
Jill, are Brad and Randy
planning to do some gardening?
51
00:04:00,173 --> 00:04:02,198
Hey! Hey, guys!
52
00:04:02,976 --> 00:04:05,638
Where are you going
with that shovel and that rake?
53
00:04:05,712 --> 00:04:10,274
- Nowhere.
- Don't go near the cemetery again.
54
00:04:10,350 --> 00:04:11,840
Cemetery?
55
00:04:11,918 --> 00:04:14,182
Yeah. Last week they dug a hole
near the cemetery wall,
56
00:04:14,254 --> 00:04:17,951
and told Mark
that one of the bodies escaped.
57
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:22,927
We're just going down
to the creek to build a dam.
58
00:04:22,996 --> 00:04:25,590
Forget the dam, beaver boy.
59
00:04:25,665 --> 00:04:28,156
- Lose the shovel. Lose the rake.
- Aw, man.
60
00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:31,362
Now, listen, if you guys get back
before Karen and I do, go to Wilson's.
61
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:33,997
Mark's gonna be over at Billy's.
62
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:36,735
- Morning, Tim.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
63
00:04:36,809 --> 00:04:41,075
Ah, it's nice to see that Tim
is his usual charming, bubbling self.
64
00:04:41,147 --> 00:04:44,674
Oh, ignore him. He's always in a snit
when Bob Vila's on the show.
65
00:04:44,751 --> 00:04:48,710
Isn't he the guy that has that
national tool show that Tim ripped off?
66
00:04:48,788 --> 00:04:50,881
Don't start, Karen, please.
67
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:54,017
All I've heard all week long is,
"Bob Vila this, Bob Vila that."
68
00:04:54,093 --> 00:04:56,425
- What does Bob Vila have that I don't?
- High ratings.
69
00:04:56,496 --> 00:04:58,487
- Fans.
- Big salary.
70
00:04:59,532 --> 00:05:03,935
- Are you through?
- Oh, pookie. We're just kidding.
71
00:05:04,003 --> 00:05:07,666
Remember, you have something
to be proud of that Bob Vila does not have.
72
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:09,833
- Oh, yeah. What?
- Al.
73
00:05:11,411 --> 00:05:12,776
(giggles)
74
00:05:12,845 --> 00:05:15,109
Normally I would have seen that coming.
75
00:05:15,181 --> 00:05:17,741
I'm very vulnerable right now.
76
00:05:17,817 --> 00:05:21,617
Tim, you're so tense. Maybe you should
come and pamper yourself at Adriana's.
77
00:05:21,688 --> 00:05:24,657
Yeah, yeah. They have
manicures and pedicures for men.
78
00:05:24,724 --> 00:05:27,249
Let me tell you two gals something.
79
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:29,352
Men don't let other people touch their feet.
80
00:05:29,429 --> 00:05:35,026
A real man clips his own toenails
and flicks them in his wife's hair.
81
00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:38,694
Does everybody know what time it is?
82
00:05:38,771 --> 00:05:40,636
Tool Time!
83
00:05:40,707 --> 00:05:47,112
That's right. Binford Tools is proud
to present Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
84
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:54,483
Thank you, Lisa. Welcome to Tool Time
I'm your host, Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
85
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:56,784
You all know my assistant, Al.
86
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:00,986
- Well, Tim. This is the big day.
- It sure is. We get to that subfloor. Ooh.
87
00:06:01,060 --> 00:06:03,585
I don't think that's why
the audience is watching today.
88
00:06:03,663 --> 00:06:05,654
I'm sure that, like me,
they're all excited
89
00:06:05,732 --> 00:06:09,133
about seeing our
favorite-guest-contest winner.
90
00:06:09,202 --> 00:06:11,534
Aren't we all, Al. Aren't we all.
91
00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:14,732
- Now, the subfloor will start...
- Tim.
92
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:17,935
Why don't we introduce
our favorite guest?
93
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:21,138
Why not? Our favorite guest
is someone a few of you may know...
94
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:24,012
I think we all know Bob and love him.
95
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:27,809
Are we gonna have to hose you down, Al?
96
00:06:28,488 --> 00:06:33,687
Let me introduce the paterfamilias
of home repair, Mr. Bob Vila.
97
00:06:36,829 --> 00:06:39,559
Thank you.
Thanks for that warm welcome.
98
00:06:39,632 --> 00:06:42,601
Mr. Vila, I just want you to know
I'm one of your biggest fans.
99
00:06:42,668 --> 00:06:45,330
In my opinion, you've completely
redefined television home repair.
100
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:47,462
Lisa.
101
00:06:47,540 --> 00:06:48,939
Right.
102
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,669
- Good to have you here again, Bob.
- Thanks.
103
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:54,235
- That goes double for me.
- Thanks, Al. It's always good to see you.
104
00:06:54,313 --> 00:06:57,248
I was so thrilled to find out
I was picked your favorite guest here.
105
00:06:57,316 --> 00:07:01,776
Well, I encouraged
a lot of people to vote for you.
106
00:07:01,854 --> 00:07:03,481
Bob, why don't you
take a seat right here?
107
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:06,047
Now, a lot of people think
there's a big rivalry between Bob and I,
108
00:07:06,125 --> 00:07:07,956
but actually there's a lot
of mutual respect between us. Right, Bob?
109
00:07:08,027 --> 00:07:10,461
Absolutely, Jim.
110
00:07:11,564 --> 00:07:12,997
It's Tim.
111
00:07:13,065 --> 00:07:17,126
I was just pulling your leg, buddy.
Just kidding.
112
00:07:20,306 --> 00:07:23,639
I don't... I don't know if we can
have Bob on the show anymore.
113
00:07:23,709 --> 00:07:27,076
My... my sides are about to split.
114
00:07:27,146 --> 00:07:29,307
Al, you've got
a wonderful sense of humor.
115
00:07:29,382 --> 00:07:31,873
Doesn't he, though?
116
00:07:32,318 --> 00:07:36,254
Well, you know, Bob is also here
to promote one of my favorite charities.
117
00:07:36,322 --> 00:07:40,349
The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Flannel.
118
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:44,260
Actually, Tim, I'm supporting
the Metropolitan Detroit Children's Fund.
119
00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:45,661
I'm just pulling your leg, actually.
120
00:07:45,731 --> 00:07:48,461
It's a wonderful charity and I bet they're
excited that you're their chairperson.
121
00:07:48,534 --> 00:07:51,094
I understand that
you're working on a lawn mower race.
122
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:54,105
That's right. And I'm having
a tough time getting some competition.
123
00:07:54,173 --> 00:07:58,940
Well, you know, Bob,
Tim has a very powerful lawn mower.
124
00:07:59,412 --> 00:08:02,904
I tweaked out my lawn mower at home
and dumped a big motor in it.
125
00:08:02,982 --> 00:08:05,507
Mine isn't homemade.
126
00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:08,053
I actually had mine designed
and built by professionals.
127
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,883
Yeah? Well, I...
128
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:13,392
I dumped a 300cc Harley
with a special cam in it.
129
00:08:13,459 --> 00:08:17,088
That sounds like the junior model.
Bob here put in a 410.
130
00:08:17,163 --> 00:08:19,563
- Good for Bob.
- Bad for you.
131
00:08:19,632 --> 00:08:23,966
I've got an elongated throttle. I've
actually been clocked at 42 miles per hour.
132
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:25,901
(both) 42?
133
00:08:25,972 --> 00:08:27,963
- You have a lawn mower that goes 42?
- Yeah.
134
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,100
Well, Bob,
I think it's time to kick some grass.
135
00:08:31,177 --> 00:08:32,804
What do you say?
Are you up to the challenge?
136
00:08:32,879 --> 00:08:36,872
To... I... You know...
Yeah, why not? Sure, I'll race you.
137
00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:40,077
- Great.
- Sure. That'll be good. A lot of fun.
138
00:08:40,152 --> 00:08:41,949
(Tim) For charity.
139
00:08:42,021 --> 00:08:45,650
Well, Tim,
I just hope you're not a poor loser.
140
00:08:45,725 --> 00:08:48,751
Al, I think the audience knows
just what kind of loser I am.
141
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:50,762
Experienced.
142
00:08:53,332 --> 00:08:55,095
- (Jill) Tim!
- Yeah. Out here.
143
00:08:55,167 --> 00:08:57,032
Timmy!
144
00:09:00,406 --> 00:09:03,807
I thought you guys
were going to that spa.
145
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:07,606
We've been there six hours.
146
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:10,546
- You look fabulous.
- Thank you.
147
00:09:10,616 --> 00:09:12,208
Come to the garage.
I'll show you something.
148
00:09:12,285 --> 00:09:14,776
- Time for the unveiling. Come on.
- Unveiling of what?
149
00:09:14,854 --> 00:09:19,086
- What are you up to now?
- Prepare to be amazed, girls.
150
00:09:21,127 --> 00:09:23,527
I'm amazed.
151
00:09:23,596 --> 00:09:26,156
- You like it?
- Like it? I hate it.
152
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:28,223
- What is it?
- What is it?
153
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:33,705
It's a riding lawn mower
with a jet engine off a Chinook helicopter.
154
00:09:36,275 --> 00:09:40,473
Are you out of your mind?
You put a jet engine on a lawn mower?
155
00:09:40,546 --> 00:09:43,413
No, but thanks for thinking I could.
156
00:09:43,482 --> 00:09:47,350
I borrowed this. It's on loan from
the US Lawn Mower Racing Association.
157
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:49,445
Why would anyone do this?
158
00:09:49,956 --> 00:09:53,016
Think about it. You got
riding lawn mower, you got jet engine.
159
00:09:53,092 --> 00:09:56,926
Sooner or later,
somebody was gonna put 'em together.
160
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,464
Tell me you're not gonna race this thing.
161
00:09:59,532 --> 00:10:02,899
Technically it won't be a race.
It's just an exhibition with...
162
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:05,938
- Bob Vila.
- I should have known.
163
00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:08,667
Whenever Bob Vila's on the show,
you turn everything into a competition.
164
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:11,335
- Jill, this is for charity.
- No, it's not. It's to compete.
165
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:14,777
Honey, this is no competition.
This is gonna be a slaughter.
166
00:10:14,847 --> 00:10:18,305
I'll be at the finish line and Bob Vila
will be back there at the starting post
167
00:10:18,384 --> 00:10:21,842
picking mulch out of his beard.
"See you, Bobby."
168
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:27,086
- How fast does this thing go?
- Right now, this gearing, about 62.
169
00:10:27,159 --> 00:10:30,526
But if I regear it, 94 I'll get out of it.
170
00:10:31,364 --> 00:10:35,858
And after they pry you out of this with
the crowbar, I'll turn to the crowd and say:
171
00:10:35,935 --> 00:10:40,269
"He was a nice man, a good man,
but not a bright man."
172
00:10:42,174 --> 00:10:46,201
Honey, this'll mow
a football field in 11 seconds.
173
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:51,742
Hi, guys. Where did you go?
174
00:10:51,817 --> 00:10:54,217
We went down to the creek
and caught some tadpoles.
175
00:10:54,286 --> 00:10:55,947
Why didn't you come and get me?
176
00:10:56,022 --> 00:10:58,286
We looked all over
and we couldn't find you.
177
00:10:58,357 --> 00:10:59,881
I was in my room.
178
00:10:59,959 --> 00:11:03,554
Boy, Brad.
The one place we didn't look.
179
00:11:03,629 --> 00:11:06,393
Why don't you take me
anywhere with you guys?
180
00:11:06,465 --> 00:11:08,592
It's because you always rat on us.
181
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:11,728
- Promise I won't rat on you again.
- Oh, really?
182
00:11:11,804 --> 00:11:14,637
Hey, Brad.
Maybe we should make him take the test.
183
00:11:14,707 --> 00:11:18,074
- Yeah, the test.
- What test?
184
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,339
The tadpole secrecy test.
185
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:21,971
What's that?
186
00:11:22,048 --> 00:11:25,415
You have to put
a live tadpole in your mouth.
187
00:11:25,484 --> 00:11:27,577
Ew! No way!
188
00:11:28,054 --> 00:11:32,218
OK, fine. But then you don't get to come
to the creek with us and build a raft.
189
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:33,781
See ya.
190
00:11:33,859 --> 00:11:35,417
Wait.
191
00:11:36,395 --> 00:11:39,364
How long do I have to hold it in my mouth?
192
00:11:39,432 --> 00:11:42,265
- Three seconds.
- Three whole seconds?
193
00:11:42,334 --> 00:11:46,566
- I told you he'd be a chicken.
- I'm not chicken.
194
00:11:47,773 --> 00:11:49,536
I'll do it.
195
00:11:55,047 --> 00:11:57,880
Buddy, come here.
196
00:11:57,950 --> 00:12:01,647
Now, close your eyes.
Open your mouth.
197
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:08,316
- Ooh, yeah, a nice slimy one.
- You'd better watch out. He's really wiggly.
198
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:12,262
Here he comes. Closer, closer.
199
00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:14,697
One thousand one.
200
00:12:14,767 --> 00:12:16,997
One thousand two.
201
00:12:17,069 --> 00:12:19,902
- One thousand three.
- You did it.
202
00:12:30,683 --> 00:12:33,550
Mark, you weren't
supposed to swallow the tadpole.
203
00:12:33,619 --> 00:12:35,484
What's gonna happen?
204
00:12:35,554 --> 00:12:40,719
Well, it's gonna swim around inside you
and grow into a frog.
205
00:12:42,094 --> 00:12:45,188
- Ribbit, ribbit.
- Shut up, Brad!
206
00:12:45,264 --> 00:12:49,758
Hey, Mark. I wouldn't drink any water.
Might make it grow faster.
207
00:12:49,835 --> 00:12:51,632
I'm gonna tell Mom and Dad on you.
208
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:55,435
Oh, yeah, like Mom and Dad are gonna
believe that we made you eat a tadpole.
209
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:57,135
Brad...
210
00:12:57,209 --> 00:13:00,007
I wouldn't use that argument.
211
00:13:00,079 --> 00:13:01,808
(Mark) Mom!
212
00:13:03,649 --> 00:13:05,640
Mom!
213
00:13:05,718 --> 00:13:08,050
- Mom!
- What is it? What is it? What's the matter?
214
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,520
Brad and Randy made me eat a tadpole.
215
00:13:10,589 --> 00:13:13,285
- A what?
- A tadpole.
216
00:13:13,359 --> 00:13:15,850
- Where are they?
- They ran away.
217
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:19,728
- Well, Mark, you're gonna be fine.
- I'll get you a glass of water.
218
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:22,290
No! Not water!
219
00:13:23,135 --> 00:13:24,227
OK.
220
00:13:24,670 --> 00:13:28,731
- It's turning into a frog.
- No, it isn't, honey.
221
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:31,276
This thing can't possibly
survive inside of your stomach.
222
00:13:31,343 --> 00:13:35,109
Look, you're just gonna
digest it like a piece of fruit.
223
00:13:35,181 --> 00:13:37,206
- You sure?
- I'm positive.
224
00:13:37,283 --> 00:13:40,548
You're just gonna
poop that thing right out.
225
00:13:40,619 --> 00:13:46,080
Now, just go outside and play.
Listen, eating a tadpole's no big deal.
226
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:49,559
Aaargh! Gross! That is so gross.
227
00:13:49,628 --> 00:13:52,358
Can you imagine having that slimy thing
swimming around inside your stomach?
228
00:13:52,431 --> 00:13:55,025
- I know. Yuck!
- I can't believe that they did this.
229
00:13:55,100 --> 00:13:56,362
- Oh, it's so gross.
- What happened?
230
00:13:56,435 --> 00:13:59,962
Brad and Randy made Mark eat a tadpole.
231
00:14:01,073 --> 00:14:03,234
(laughs)
232
00:14:05,077 --> 00:14:08,103
This is not funny.
It's a terrible thing to do.
233
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:11,115
Oh, come on.
They're boys. What's the big deal?
234
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:13,549
When I was little,
I made one of my brothers eat spaghetti.
235
00:14:13,619 --> 00:14:16,383
- It had an earthworm in it.
- Oh, Tim. Please.
236
00:14:16,455 --> 00:14:21,290
Steve didn't even know it was in there until
one of the noodles tried to crawl back out.
237
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,487
It was great. Oh, he paid me back.
238
00:14:23,562 --> 00:14:25,757
He made me eat my mashed potatoes
with a big cockroach in there.
239
00:14:25,831 --> 00:14:27,458
Oh! Tim!
240
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,367
Oh, quit ohing. They're good.
They're crunchy. They're not bad.
241
00:14:37,743 --> 00:14:39,301
What's that smell?
242
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:41,744
It's clam chowder...
243
00:14:41,814 --> 00:14:47,411
- Mushrooms, raisin and little bits of liver.
- Ugh!
244
00:14:47,486 --> 00:14:51,183
I want Brad and Randy
to think it's tadpole soup.
245
00:14:52,424 --> 00:14:55,154
That's disgusting - I love it.
246
00:14:56,095 --> 00:15:01,192
I'm just going with the flow.
Go out and tell them that the soup is on.
247
00:15:01,267 --> 00:15:03,428
(sinister laugh)
248
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:08,535
Brad! Randy!
Hustle up. Dinnertime.
249
00:15:08,607 --> 00:15:12,236
- Hi-ho, neighbor.
- Hi there, Wilson.
250
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:14,302
You missed a snip.
251
00:15:14,380 --> 00:15:16,245
Mm-hm.
252
00:15:16,315 --> 00:15:19,079
I bet you can't guess
what I've got in my garage.
253
00:15:19,151 --> 00:15:20,584
Well, just off the top of my head,
254
00:15:20,653 --> 00:15:25,317
I'd say a small riding lawn mower
with a jet engine attached.
255
00:15:25,391 --> 00:15:26,858
(grunts)
256
00:15:26,926 --> 00:15:28,689
Mark told me.
257
00:15:28,761 --> 00:15:33,289
Think about it, Wilson. I'll be driving
the fastest riding lawn mower on earth.
258
00:15:33,365 --> 00:15:35,094
Uh-huh, uh-huh-huh-huh.
259
00:15:35,167 --> 00:15:38,694
I'm gonna be a lawn-mowing legend.
(barks)
260
00:15:38,771 --> 00:15:43,231
Well, Tim. It sounds to me
like you're dealing with hubris.
261
00:15:43,309 --> 00:15:46,005
Hubris? What's that in English?
262
00:15:46,078 --> 00:15:49,411
It is English.
It means "excessive pride."
263
00:15:49,882 --> 00:15:52,578
Oh, yeah, I got that. (grunts)
264
00:15:52,651 --> 00:15:57,520
- Not necessarily a good thing.
- I don't have that. I don't want it.
265
00:15:57,589 --> 00:16:00,717
I'm just in this
lawn-mowing competition with Bob Vila.
266
00:16:00,793 --> 00:16:03,455
Mm. Nothing like
the rousing spirit of competition.
267
00:16:03,529 --> 00:16:06,020
Yeah. Jill and Karen
think it's a stupid idea.
268
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:09,295
Well, Tim,
competition can be a very healthy thing.
269
00:16:09,368 --> 00:16:11,427
That's what I think.
I think competition inspires men -
270
00:16:11,503 --> 00:16:14,495
challenges us to build
the biggest building, the fastest missile,
271
00:16:14,573 --> 00:16:18,236
the most absorbent bathroom tissue.
(barks)
272
00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:20,574
Competition brings out the best in product.
273
00:16:20,646 --> 00:16:24,275
- You're darn right.
- But sometimes the worst in men.
274
00:16:24,350 --> 00:16:26,250
(grunts)
275
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:30,721
- Hey, guys. I was just looking for you.
- Hey, Dad.
276
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:34,350
- We're really sorry.
- Sorry about what?
277
00:16:34,426 --> 00:16:37,361
- Didn't you talk to Mark?
- No.
278
00:16:37,429 --> 00:16:41,763
- Oh. Then we're sorry we're late for dinner.
- All right. Your mom's got it ready for you.
279
00:16:41,834 --> 00:16:43,825
Take those muddy shoes off
before you get in the house.
280
00:16:43,902 --> 00:16:45,096
All right.
281
00:16:45,938 --> 00:16:47,565
Tim, would the boys be in trouble?
282
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:50,039
Big trouble.
They made Mark eat a tadpole,
283
00:16:50,109 --> 00:16:53,272
so Jill's making them think
they're having tadpole soup.
284
00:16:53,345 --> 00:16:56,337
Mm-hm. Well, if you
want to try the real thing,
285
00:16:56,415 --> 00:17:00,249
why don't you come over
to my house on Saturday night?
286
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:03,447
Well, hello, Brad and Randy.
287
00:17:03,522 --> 00:17:05,217
Hi, Mom.
288
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:08,384
- Where's Mark?
- He's upstairs, playing.
289
00:17:08,460 --> 00:17:12,328
- Is he OK?
- Yeah. He's fine. Why do you ask?
290
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:15,458
No reason.
Just because we love him.
291
00:17:17,770 --> 00:17:20,603
- Hope you're hungry.
- Oh, yeah.
292
00:17:20,672 --> 00:17:23,800
Oh. Guess I'm done with this now.
293
00:17:23,876 --> 00:17:27,175
- That had our tadpoles in it.
- Not anymore.
294
00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:30,704
- Soup, anyone?
- What's up, guys?
295
00:17:30,783 --> 00:17:33,251
- Hi, Mom.
- Is Mark eating this?
296
00:17:33,318 --> 00:17:35,878
No, that's just for you.
I'm having ice cream.
297
00:17:35,954 --> 00:17:38,115
Oh, sweetie, it's right over there.
298
00:17:38,190 --> 00:17:41,921
Well, hi. I've got the soup
for the boys all ready. You want some?
299
00:17:41,994 --> 00:17:46,658
- Well, what's in it?
- Oh, a tad of this, tad of that.
300
00:17:48,167 --> 00:17:50,795
Sounds a tad too rich for me.
301
00:17:50,869 --> 00:17:54,703
Oh, I get it. You want us to think
the tadpoles are in the soup.
302
00:17:54,773 --> 00:17:57,765
Now why would your mother
do something like that?
303
00:17:57,843 --> 00:17:59,674
Come on, dig in.
304
00:17:59,745 --> 00:18:02,578
- Come on, Randy. This is just a big bluff.
- Yeah.
305
00:18:02,648 --> 00:18:05,310
Come on, boys. Hop to it.
306
00:18:14,326 --> 00:18:17,352
You know, it does taste kind of weird.
307
00:18:17,429 --> 00:18:20,364
Yeah, but there's no way it's tadpoles.
308
00:18:20,432 --> 00:18:23,492
Oh, I guess I can't fool you guys.
309
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:24,661
Ooh!
310
00:18:24,736 --> 00:18:27,330
Well, what is this?
311
00:18:27,406 --> 00:18:29,397
(boys scream)
312
00:18:30,576 --> 00:18:32,976
Yeah!
313
00:18:33,045 --> 00:18:36,572
It's just a rubber frog.
How did that feel?
314
00:18:36,648 --> 00:18:39,048
Next time you feel like pulling something,
maybe you'll remember
315
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:44,215
that I see all, hear all, and know all that
goes on in this house. Do you understand?
316
00:18:44,289 --> 00:18:45,950
We're sorry.
317
00:18:46,024 --> 00:18:49,790
OK. Now I'll fix your real dinner.
318
00:18:49,862 --> 00:18:54,265
Honey, please.
I think you've punished them enough.
319
00:18:54,900 --> 00:18:56,891
(frog croaks)
320
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,904
Here we go, everybody. Stand by.
321
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:13,247
In five, four, three, two...
322
00:19:13,318 --> 00:19:15,183
(theme music)
323
00:19:17,356 --> 00:19:20,223
Hi. Welcome to this
special edition of Tool Time
324
00:19:20,292 --> 00:19:23,659
I'm Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
You know my assistant, Al.
325
00:19:23,729 --> 00:19:27,927
We're here at beautiful Memorial Park,
ready for the big race with Bob Vila.
326
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,060
I've got this little helmet-cam,
so you'll all see exactly what I see.
327
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:33,400
Hey, Bob. Who do you think
is going to win the race, huh?
328
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:36,407
It's for charity, Tim.
The real winners are the children.
329
00:19:36,475 --> 00:19:39,308
Of course they are, Bob.
The winners are the kids.
330
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:43,542
In second place, me.
In a distant third, Bob.
331
00:19:44,516 --> 00:19:48,509
- Oh, boy.
- What are you doing, Tim?
332
00:19:48,587 --> 00:19:51,522
Trying to show the folks at home if there's
any critters crawling around in your beard.
333
00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:54,787
Well, I think we're about ready to go.
Gentlemen, if you'll take your places.
334
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:56,851
OK.
335
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:01,465
- Good luck, Tim.
- Thank you, Al.
336
00:20:01,533 --> 00:20:03,933
- Bob, good luck.
- Thank you, Al.
337
00:20:04,002 --> 00:20:07,335
- What is that?
- Just a little old engine, Bob.
338
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:13,100
Gentlemen, start your engines.
339
00:20:13,178 --> 00:20:15,339
(dramatic music)
340
00:20:28,093 --> 00:20:29,754
Ready.
341
00:20:29,828 --> 00:20:31,386
One.
342
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:32,521
Two.
343
00:20:32,598 --> 00:20:34,429
Three.
344
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:40,364
- Nice mower, Bob.
- Thanks, Tim.
345
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:44,273
I'd love to sit and chat,
but I gotta run.
346
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:47,609
Oh, boy! Whoa! Whoa!
347
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:51,308
Look out, buddy!
Look out. Look out. Look out!
348
00:20:57,022 --> 00:20:58,455
(screams)
349
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:09,895
(screams)
350
00:21:10,802 --> 00:21:12,565
(screams)
351
00:21:15,507 --> 00:21:19,102
Yeah, thanks, Officer. I'll make sure
I get those tickets for Tool Time for you.
352
00:21:19,177 --> 00:21:21,543
You bet.
353
00:21:21,613 --> 00:21:23,945
So... how was your day?
354
00:21:24,883 --> 00:21:26,145
Well...
355
00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:30,484
When I heard on the news
that there was a lawn mower
356
00:21:30,555 --> 00:21:33,547
running amuck down l-96,
357
00:21:34,626 --> 00:21:37,891
with a police helicopter in hot pursuit,
358
00:21:37,963 --> 00:21:40,955
I thought to myself,
"Could this be my husband?"
359
00:21:41,033 --> 00:21:44,298
- Are you all right?
- Pretty good chance of that. I'm all right.
360
00:21:44,369 --> 00:21:46,929
There's good news and bad news.
The bad news is...
361
00:21:47,005 --> 00:21:50,202
I got a ticket
and they impounded the lawn mower.
362
00:21:50,275 --> 00:21:52,971
- What's the good news?
- Good news is...
363
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:55,946
I mowed 40 lawns
and made 186 bucks.
364
00:22:00,752 --> 00:22:02,379
What is this thing?
365
00:22:02,454 --> 00:22:05,685
This thing is a helmet-cam, so you
could see my perspective during the race.
366
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:09,818
I might add that
you're looking pretty nice, honey.
367
00:22:09,895 --> 00:22:12,056
Thank you.
368
00:22:12,130 --> 00:22:15,463
- Where are the boys?
- Across the street.
369
00:22:19,071 --> 00:22:22,234
- So we're alone, huh?
- Don't even think about it, Tim.
370
00:22:22,307 --> 00:22:24,605
Come here, woman. Come here!
371
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,013
(screams)
372
00:22:57,776 --> 00:23:00,836
(announcer) Jonathan Taylor Thomas!
373
00:23:03,582 --> 00:23:06,676
Zachery Ty Bryan!
A big hand for Zachery!
374
00:23:09,488 --> 00:23:12,651
The fantastic Patricia Richardson!
375
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:18,327
And Mr. Tim Allen!
Right down here, Tim Allen.
376
00:23:20,532 --> 00:23:24,969
There we go.
Give everybody a big round of applause!
