1
00:00:01,454 --> 00:00:04,657
This will be my most exciting
lighting display ever.
2
00:00:04,758 --> 00:00:08,460
The guys at the power plant
will be working overtime
for this bad boy, huh?
3
00:00:08,561 --> 00:00:12,031
You might want to read
this flyer. I found it
in the mailbox.
4
00:00:12,132 --> 00:00:15,267
It's from the lighting
contest committee.
5
00:00:15,368 --> 00:00:18,404
"because certain rooftop
displays have exceeded
the bounds
6
00:00:18,505 --> 00:00:21,974
Of prudent energy consumption
and good taste,
7
00:00:22,075 --> 00:00:26,345
This year's lighting contest
will be strictly regulated."
8
00:00:26,446 --> 00:00:28,414
They're pulling
the plug on you, dad.
9
00:00:28,515 --> 00:00:30,749
What makes you think
this has to do with me?
10
00:00:30,851 --> 00:00:35,554
It says right here, "to be
referred to, henceforth,
as the tim taylor clause".
11
00:00:38,158 --> 00:00:41,460
This is bunk.
This is bunk. Come on!
12
00:00:41,561 --> 00:00:43,929
"electricity is limited
to two 20-amp breakers."
13
00:00:44,030 --> 00:00:46,766
Who can work with that?
"no bulbs over 25 watts."
14
00:00:46,867 --> 00:00:48,734
Ha, ha!
15
00:00:48,835 --> 00:00:51,069
"maximum height
of elves, three feet."
16
00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:53,472
What kind of elf
is three foot tall?
17
00:00:55,041 --> 00:00:56,509
This one's gonna kill you.
18
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:00,813
"nativity scenes may include
only characters mentioned
in the bible."
19
00:01:02,148 --> 00:01:04,816
Which means no more
three stooges.
20
00:01:06,853 --> 00:01:08,687
Those were the three wise men.
21
00:01:08,788 --> 00:01:11,790
Really? Then why were they
poking each other in the eye?
22
00:01:11,891 --> 00:01:14,993
To break up the trip.
23
00:02:11,451 --> 00:02:13,018
What is that smell?
24
00:02:13,119 --> 00:02:15,153
I'm making us a special
christmas cake.
25
00:02:15,254 --> 00:02:19,725
It's really cool.
It's got pineapple
and mangoes and papaya.
26
00:02:19,826 --> 00:02:22,361
It's a fruitcake.
Everybody hates fruitcake.
27
00:02:22,462 --> 00:02:27,199
I know that. This is not
a fruitcake. This is a
christmas cake with fruit.
28
00:02:29,502 --> 00:02:31,870
"cake with fruit."
reverse that.
29
00:02:31,972 --> 00:02:34,507
- "fruitcake."
- don't take it out on me
30
00:02:34,608 --> 00:02:38,643
Just 'cause the neighborhood
put the kibosh on your lighting
display.
31
00:02:38,744 --> 00:02:43,081
You say "ki-bosh,"
I say "pish-tosh".
32
00:02:44,384 --> 00:02:47,153
- I got wilson to be my partner.
- To help you do the roof?
33
00:02:47,254 --> 00:02:49,688
No, no. He's gonna give me
two 20-amp circuits.
34
00:02:49,789 --> 00:02:53,192
He's not decorating his roof.
I get his allotment
of electricity.
35
00:02:53,293 --> 00:02:54,493
I get more wattage.
36
00:02:54,594 --> 00:02:58,197
It means I can make elves
the size of shaquille o'neal.
37
00:02:58,298 --> 00:03:02,735
I can't believe wilson
would go along with this
after reading that flyer.
38
00:03:02,836 --> 00:03:04,369
I'm not sure he read it.
39
00:03:06,172 --> 00:03:07,906
Where are the boys?
I need help.
40
00:03:08,008 --> 00:03:09,708
Picking up mom
from the airport.
41
00:03:09,809 --> 00:03:14,746
Listen, um... When she gets here
I want you to be extra nice
to her.
42
00:03:14,847 --> 00:03:19,084
Oh. Now you tell me.
I just short-sheeted her bed.
43
00:03:19,185 --> 00:03:23,155
No. You know, I want this to be
a really great holiday for her.
44
00:03:23,290 --> 00:03:26,759
It's the first one since
dad died, and she's bound
to be depressed.
45
00:03:26,860 --> 00:03:30,963
If anything will lift her
spirits, it will be the
new lighting display.
46
00:03:31,064 --> 00:03:33,566
Guess who's bearing
frankincense this year?
47
00:03:38,905 --> 00:03:40,873
Come here. I want you
to see this.
48
00:03:40,974 --> 00:03:42,441
Look.
49
00:03:43,343 --> 00:03:44,410
- Wow.
- Yeah.
50
00:03:44,511 --> 00:03:46,345
It's your mom and dad
at their wedding.
51
00:03:46,446 --> 00:03:49,514
I found it in her house
after the funeral,
so I had it restored.
52
00:03:49,616 --> 00:03:51,817
I'm gonna give it
to her for christmas.
53
00:03:51,918 --> 00:03:53,853
They did a nice job
restoring this.
54
00:03:53,954 --> 00:03:57,256
They were able to airbrush a
smile over your dad's scowl.
55
00:03:57,357 --> 00:03:59,258
No, that's a real smile.
56
00:03:59,359 --> 00:04:01,627
You said he never smiled
at their wedding.
57
00:04:01,728 --> 00:04:03,996
No, he never smiled
at our wedding.
58
00:04:07,734 --> 00:04:11,604
- Oh, tim! Merry christmas!
- Merry christmas, lillian.
How are you?
59
00:04:11,705 --> 00:04:13,572
- It's good to see you.
- Hi, mom.
60
00:04:13,673 --> 00:04:15,441
- Hello, baby.
- Can I take your coat?
61
00:04:15,542 --> 00:04:18,711
- It's so good to see you.
- Merry christmas.
I love your hair.
62
00:04:18,812 --> 00:04:20,746
- You look gorgeous.
- It's so cute.
63
00:04:20,847 --> 00:04:23,449
How was the trip back with brad
from the airport?
64
00:04:23,550 --> 00:04:26,786
It was a lot less scary
than when I ride with tim.
65
00:04:28,487 --> 00:04:31,623
I never knew detroit
had stop signs.
66
00:04:31,825 --> 00:04:34,493
Roundish red things.
Yeah, I've seen them.
67
00:04:36,896 --> 00:04:40,232
Oh, jill, the tree
looks beautiful.
68
00:04:40,333 --> 00:04:41,800
Yes, it does, doesn't it?
69
00:04:41,902 --> 00:04:45,538
Well, except for
this spark plug here.
70
00:04:47,507 --> 00:04:53,078
That's right. Every year tim
sneaks auto parts onto the tree.
71
00:04:53,179 --> 00:04:55,614
And on easter we have
a muffler hunt.
72
00:04:57,250 --> 00:05:01,486
Mom, there's a present
that I want you to open
while we're alone.
73
00:05:01,587 --> 00:05:03,822
Oh, no, no.
It's not christmas yet.
74
00:05:03,923 --> 00:05:05,657
No, this one's kind of personal.
75
00:05:05,758 --> 00:05:09,261
I want you to open it while
there's not a lot of other
people around.
76
00:05:09,362 --> 00:05:13,699
Speaking of having other people
around, there's something I need
to ask you.
77
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,937
Would you mind if I invited a
friend to join us for christmas?
78
00:05:18,038 --> 00:05:20,872
- Oh, a friend!
- He's really very nice.
79
00:05:21,775 --> 00:05:22,941
He.
80
00:05:23,042 --> 00:05:26,945
His name is parker
and he's an engineer.
81
00:05:27,046 --> 00:05:30,716
He's going to be visiting people
in detroit during the holidays.
82
00:05:30,817 --> 00:05:32,384
Is... Uh... Mom?
83
00:05:32,485 --> 00:05:35,954
What are you saying? You're
seeing someone? Like dating?
84
00:05:36,055 --> 00:05:38,624
[chuckling] I guess that's
what you would call it.
85
00:05:38,725 --> 00:05:41,426
We've been going out together
for a couple of months.
86
00:05:41,528 --> 00:05:43,529
I really like him.
87
00:05:43,630 --> 00:05:47,399
- Would it be all right
if he joined us?
- Sure. It's fine, it's great.
88
00:05:47,501 --> 00:05:50,269
Whatever's gonna make
your christmas good for you.
89
00:05:50,370 --> 00:05:53,739
I can't tell you how happy
that makes me. I was nervous
to tell you.
90
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:56,942
Oh! Well, now you've told me
and now I know.
91
00:05:57,043 --> 00:05:59,778
So, there's nothing
for anybody to be nervous about.
92
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,547
Let me show you his picture.
93
00:06:01,648 --> 00:06:05,117
I brought a picture along
with me for you to see.
94
00:06:05,819 --> 00:06:07,252
Here it is.
95
00:06:09,789 --> 00:06:13,292
He has a duck tail and you're
wearing a poodle skirt.
96
00:06:13,393 --> 00:06:15,894
Yes, it... It was fifties night
97
00:06:15,995 --> 00:06:18,496
At karaoke pete's
tandoori kitchen.
98
00:06:18,597 --> 00:06:19,798
Oh!
99
00:06:19,899 --> 00:06:23,635
Parker does a mean
blue suede shoes.
100
00:06:23,736 --> 00:06:26,438
Yeah, I...
I see he's wearing some.
101
00:06:26,539 --> 00:06:28,340
He's... He's just a wild man.
102
00:06:28,441 --> 00:06:30,075
[chuckling]
103
00:06:30,176 --> 00:06:32,644
Now, how about
that christmas present?
104
00:06:34,046 --> 00:06:37,983
Oh. You know, now that I look at
this, this isn't the right one.
105
00:06:38,184 --> 00:06:41,019
I'm gonna have to look for it
and give it to you later.
106
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,590
All right. I'm going to call
parker and tell him that
he's invited.
107
00:06:44,691 --> 00:06:47,826
- I can't wait
for you to meet him.
- Me, too.
108
00:06:47,927 --> 00:06:49,962
[door opening]
109
00:06:50,063 --> 00:06:51,597
- [door closing]
- look at this.
110
00:06:51,697 --> 00:06:53,732
A partridge in a pear tree.
111
00:07:03,676 --> 00:07:05,410
Tim.
112
00:07:08,581 --> 00:07:10,749
Mom just told me that she's...
113
00:07:10,850 --> 00:07:13,351
...Bringing a date
for christmas.
114
00:07:13,452 --> 00:07:17,656
Why doesn't she bring a whole
box? You can put them in your
"christmas cake."
115
00:07:17,757 --> 00:07:19,324
No. Come here.
116
00:07:19,425 --> 00:07:23,261
His name is parker.
She's been seeing him
for a couple of months.
117
00:07:23,362 --> 00:07:24,563
[quietly] wow.
118
00:07:24,664 --> 00:07:27,632
That's, uh, kind of soon.
I mean...
119
00:07:27,733 --> 00:07:31,202
- How do you feel about that?
- Well, I was in shock.
120
00:07:31,303 --> 00:07:34,706
I mean, I'm starting to give her
this photo of her and dad,
121
00:07:34,807 --> 00:07:37,208
Then she starts talking
about this other man.
122
00:07:37,309 --> 00:07:40,646
I didn't feel I could give
it to her. Do you think
I'm overreacting?
123
00:07:40,747 --> 00:07:43,082
No. I think
you're taking this very well.
124
00:07:43,182 --> 00:07:48,087
My mom waited 30 years
to start dating and I still
think it's too soon.
125
00:07:48,188 --> 00:07:51,489
It's obviously a little awkward
for me, but it's not about me.
126
00:07:51,591 --> 00:07:55,628
So I'm gonna be supportive
and when parker gets here
we'll be hospitable.
127
00:07:55,729 --> 00:07:58,797
It'll be easier for me. He's not
shacking up with my mom.
128
00:08:04,804 --> 00:08:07,238
Whatever I can do to help.
129
00:08:09,308 --> 00:08:11,042
See, parker, here's my problem.
130
00:08:11,144 --> 00:08:15,414
Even with... Even with wilson's
allotment of electricity,
131
00:08:15,515 --> 00:08:18,717
I still can't get these
mechanical things to work
properly.
132
00:08:18,818 --> 00:08:22,321
If I'm reading this right,
this doesn't say anything
about voltage.
133
00:08:22,422 --> 00:08:25,590
- [grunting] huh?
- You can use a 220 volt line
for your appliances
134
00:08:25,691 --> 00:08:27,626
Instead of
the standard 110.
135
00:08:27,727 --> 00:08:30,862
It takes the same 20-amp
breaker, but doubles your power.
136
00:08:30,997 --> 00:08:35,134
[grunting] yeah. Double
your power, double your fun.
Oh, oh, oh!
137
00:08:35,235 --> 00:08:36,568
Let's go to the garage.
138
00:08:40,206 --> 00:08:42,941
Would you like to know
where parker and I met?
139
00:08:43,043 --> 00:08:45,210
Uh-huh. Ok.
140
00:08:45,311 --> 00:08:48,447
In the frozen vegetable section
of the supermarket.
141
00:08:50,417 --> 00:08:53,852
Nothing says romance
like a bag of frozen succotash.
142
00:08:55,688 --> 00:08:58,390
We chatted a little more
in paper goods,
143
00:08:58,491 --> 00:09:02,193
And ended up exchanging
life stories in pet food.
144
00:09:02,294 --> 00:09:06,097
By the time you got to checkout,
you were an item?
145
00:09:06,198 --> 00:09:07,899
It didn't go quite like that.
146
00:09:09,068 --> 00:09:11,770
You want to know what we did
on our first date?
147
00:09:12,271 --> 00:09:13,838
Yeah, sure.
148
00:09:15,841 --> 00:09:18,377
Parker took me dancing.
149
00:09:18,478 --> 00:09:21,647
- I thought you hated dancing.
- No!
150
00:09:21,748 --> 00:09:24,917
Well, it was your father
who didn't care for it.
151
00:09:26,052 --> 00:09:28,453
Do you and parker
go dancing a lot?
152
00:09:28,554 --> 00:09:30,122
Every Saturday night.
153
00:09:30,223 --> 00:09:35,260
A couple of weeks ago he took me
to a square dance festival
in austin.
154
00:09:35,361 --> 00:09:36,928
You drove up for the day?
155
00:09:37,029 --> 00:09:40,031
Well, actually we made
a weekend of it.
156
00:09:42,902 --> 00:09:45,137
It's a great idea.
I'll run a line from the garage.
157
00:09:45,238 --> 00:09:49,174
Parker figured out how to get
more electricity and not
break the rules.
158
00:09:49,275 --> 00:09:52,377
- This guy's sneaky. I like him.
- You're pretty sneaky yourself.
159
00:09:52,479 --> 00:09:55,347
You figured out how to use
a motor from your dryer.
160
00:09:59,552 --> 00:10:01,086
You're taking apart our dryer?
161
00:10:01,187 --> 00:10:03,355
I'm taking apart
the dryer for you.
162
00:10:05,191 --> 00:10:06,592
It's for the holidays.
163
00:10:06,693 --> 00:10:09,694
You won't have to do laundry
until way into the new year.
164
00:10:09,795 --> 00:10:12,497
Guess what, tim asked me
to come to tool time.
165
00:10:12,598 --> 00:10:14,165
[lillian] oh, that's wonderful.
166
00:10:14,266 --> 00:10:19,004
Just remember, if tim uses words
like "tweaked" and "souped up"
and "uh-oh,"
167
00:10:19,105 --> 00:10:21,606
You run like hell.
168
00:10:21,707 --> 00:10:24,810
If we're gonna make
the johnsons' for dinner
we better go.
169
00:10:24,911 --> 00:10:28,913
Oh, they're parker's oldest
friends in the world.
170
00:10:29,015 --> 00:10:30,849
I'm a little nervous
about meeting them.
171
00:10:30,950 --> 00:10:33,018
- They're gonna love you.
- Oh.
172
00:10:33,119 --> 00:10:37,122
- How could they not?
- Wait. What time are you
gonna be home?
173
00:10:37,223 --> 00:10:40,859
You don't have to wait up,
honey. I have my keys.
174
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,594
- See you later. Have fun.
- [lillian] bye.
175
00:10:45,998 --> 00:10:47,866
Parker's a great guy.
176
00:10:47,967 --> 00:10:51,803
Hey, how would you feel about
him becoming part of the family?
177
00:11:03,883 --> 00:11:05,784
You throw pretty good
for a girl.
178
00:11:10,256 --> 00:11:12,624
What do you got against
keith partridge?
179
00:11:12,725 --> 00:11:14,760
He's not dating your mother.
180
00:11:16,328 --> 00:11:19,731
I just... I can't believe
the way that she's acting!
181
00:11:19,832 --> 00:11:21,900
It's like dad never
even existed.
182
00:11:22,001 --> 00:11:25,904
And the way she goes on and on
about her tawdry square dancing
weekend.
183
00:11:26,005 --> 00:11:28,307
Come on, it's just
square dancing, honey.
184
00:11:28,408 --> 00:11:31,877
I could just see the two of
them, do-si-do-ing around naked.
185
00:11:40,153 --> 00:11:43,722
It gives new meaning to the
words, "grab your partner".
186
00:11:45,458 --> 00:11:49,461
And you! You! You!
You're going out of your way
to be chummy with him!
187
00:11:49,562 --> 00:11:53,498
I'm being hospitable because
you, you, you asked me to!
188
00:11:53,599 --> 00:11:55,967
You asked him to come
to tool time.
189
00:11:56,068 --> 00:11:58,737
You never asked my father
to come to tool time.
190
00:11:58,838 --> 00:12:01,105
Your father hated tool time.
191
00:12:01,206 --> 00:12:04,943
He'd never go. He said, "I'd
rather watch a test pattern."
192
00:12:05,044 --> 00:12:09,114
How come you never took
my father's suggestions
about the christmas lights?
193
00:12:09,215 --> 00:12:12,684
Jill, your father never gave me
suggestions. He gave me orders.
194
00:12:12,785 --> 00:12:14,586
Ok, yeah, he was gruff.
195
00:12:14,687 --> 00:12:17,989
He was a very difficult person,
but that doesn't make this
any easier.
196
00:12:18,091 --> 00:12:22,194
It seems like mom's happier
with parker than she ever was
with dad.
197
00:12:22,295 --> 00:12:24,930
That's not the case. It's
because it's a new relationship.
198
00:12:25,031 --> 00:12:27,966
I've got to talk to mom about
this thing, the way I feel.
199
00:12:28,067 --> 00:12:31,069
- No, no, don't.
- Why not?
200
00:12:31,170 --> 00:12:34,706
It's christmastime. It's no time
to tell people how you feel.
201
00:12:40,179 --> 00:12:42,480
Does everybody know
what time it is?
202
00:12:42,581 --> 00:12:44,216
- Tool time!
- That's right.
203
00:12:44,317 --> 00:12:48,086
Binford tools
is proud to present
tim "the tool man" taylor.
204
00:12:48,187 --> 00:12:50,655
[audience cheering, applauding]
205
00:12:51,757 --> 00:12:53,258
Thank you.
206
00:12:53,359 --> 00:12:56,395
Wow, what a good audience.
Good for you. Thank you, heidi.
207
00:12:56,495 --> 00:12:58,163
Welcome to tool time.
208
00:12:58,264 --> 00:13:01,300
I am tim "the yule man" taylor.
209
00:13:02,802 --> 00:13:05,370
Of course, you all know
my assistant, al borland.
210
00:13:05,471 --> 00:13:08,307
- [cheering]
- thank you.
211
00:13:08,408 --> 00:13:11,410
Well, it's almost christmas,
and christmas is a time...
212
00:13:11,510 --> 00:13:12,644
[both] ...For giving.
213
00:13:12,745 --> 00:13:14,913
Right. And for you
last-minute shoppers,
214
00:13:15,014 --> 00:13:18,350
The "tool man" here's got a
selection of last-minute gift
ideas.
215
00:13:18,451 --> 00:13:22,287
And to start us off, we have
the binford 6100 sleep enhancer.
216
00:13:22,388 --> 00:13:24,823
It's for you guys who
can't drift off to sleep.
217
00:13:24,924 --> 00:13:27,993
It produces sounds
to help you deep, deep sleep.
218
00:13:28,094 --> 00:13:30,595
We have "primeval forest,"
"babbling brook"...
219
00:13:30,696 --> 00:13:32,630
Boring. Boring.
I like this one.
220
00:13:32,731 --> 00:13:35,900
[racecar engines running]
221
00:13:36,002 --> 00:13:38,270
Ahh.
222
00:13:38,371 --> 00:13:42,307
Indy cars going 220 miles
an hour. [snoring]
223
00:13:44,376 --> 00:13:45,944
All right.
What do we have next?
224
00:13:46,045 --> 00:13:48,447
I have a big surprise.
I'll be right back.
225
00:13:48,548 --> 00:13:53,051
In the meantime, why don't we
look at some stocking stuffers
from binford?
226
00:13:53,152 --> 00:13:57,356
This year, say "merry christmas"
with how-to videos starring
tim and al.
227
00:13:57,457 --> 00:14:02,293
Right. Show your loved ones
how to get rid of that annoying
hum from lights
228
00:14:02,395 --> 00:14:05,229
In silence of the lamps.
229
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,970
And learn when to use nails
instead of adhesives
in glueless.
230
00:14:13,439 --> 00:14:16,842
And my personal favorite,
the nutty compressor.
231
00:14:19,845 --> 00:14:22,013
They loved this one in France.
232
00:14:22,915 --> 00:14:24,983
And tim has one more gift
to show us.
233
00:14:25,084 --> 00:14:27,085
He said it was a red wagon.
234
00:14:27,186 --> 00:14:30,022
What would a grown man want
with a little red wagon?
235
00:14:30,123 --> 00:14:31,823
[engine revving]
236
00:14:47,606 --> 00:14:49,040
Oh, boy.
237
00:14:50,509 --> 00:14:52,410
Wilson, what are you doing?
238
00:14:52,511 --> 00:14:55,013
Well, I'm trying
to black out my windows
239
00:14:55,114 --> 00:14:57,115
So I can finally get some sleep.
240
00:14:57,216 --> 00:15:01,152
- Insomnia?
- No, no, no. "timsomnia."
241
00:15:01,253 --> 00:15:03,788
- [chuckling]
- [tim] here they go!
242
00:15:03,889 --> 00:15:05,456
[electrical buzzing]
243
00:15:10,062 --> 00:15:12,864
Do not look directly
into the jesus.
244
00:15:16,235 --> 00:15:18,470
Oh. I brought you a present.
245
00:15:18,571 --> 00:15:20,338
Oh, my goodness.
246
00:15:20,439 --> 00:15:22,941
Oh, boy, that's heavy.
247
00:15:24,143 --> 00:15:26,277
Jill, is it fruitcake?
248
00:15:26,378 --> 00:15:29,514
No, it's not a fruitcake!
It's a christmas cake.
249
00:15:29,615 --> 00:15:31,783
It's made with mangoes
and papayas and...
250
00:15:31,884 --> 00:15:35,587
Oh, hell, it's a fruitcake!
Fruitcake! Fruitcake! Fruitcake!
251
00:15:35,688 --> 00:15:37,789
[sighs]
252
00:15:37,890 --> 00:15:40,459
I'm sorry, I'm just upset
about this whole thing
253
00:15:40,559 --> 00:15:42,794
With my mother
and her new boyfriend.
254
00:15:42,895 --> 00:15:44,929
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
255
00:15:45,031 --> 00:15:48,233
Tim says I should wait
till after the holidays
to talk to her,
256
00:15:48,334 --> 00:15:52,504
But I'm acting so crazy.
I'm throwing baked goods
at keith partridge.
257
00:15:53,973 --> 00:15:55,740
I don't know.
What do you think?
258
00:15:55,841 --> 00:15:57,708
Well, he's no greg brady, but...
259
00:15:57,810 --> 00:16:00,078
No!
260
00:16:00,179 --> 00:16:03,348
I mean, what do you think about
whether I should talk to her.
261
00:16:03,449 --> 00:16:05,483
Well, I agree
with the poet william blake,
262
00:16:05,584 --> 00:16:08,019
Who said,
"I was angry with my friend
263
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,057
I told my wrath
my wrath did end".
264
00:16:12,158 --> 00:16:14,759
Yeah, but if I talk to her
it could ruin her christmas.
265
00:16:14,860 --> 00:16:17,395
If you don't,
it could ruin everybody else's.
266
00:16:17,629 --> 00:16:19,931
Wilson, I want
to show you santa's sleigh.
267
00:16:20,032 --> 00:16:21,833
- Not now.
- It'll take a minute.
268
00:16:21,934 --> 00:16:24,236
- Just a couple minutes.
- I want to show you.
269
00:16:24,337 --> 00:16:26,471
What if I say the wrong thing
and she gets hurt?
270
00:16:26,572 --> 00:16:30,975
Well, she won't if you just
express yourself in a sensitive
and tactful way.
271
00:16:31,076 --> 00:16:32,944
[electrical buzzing]
272
00:16:38,451 --> 00:16:42,053
Tim, will you keep your freakin'
santa out of my yard?!
273
00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:52,763
Merry christmas, honey.
274
00:16:52,865 --> 00:16:54,532
Oh, merry christmas, mom.
275
00:16:54,633 --> 00:16:58,203
I told parker to come over
around 9:00 if that's not
too early.
276
00:16:58,971 --> 00:17:01,672
Fine.
277
00:17:01,773 --> 00:17:06,311
Jill, are you feeling ok?
You seemed a little quiet
last night.
278
00:17:06,412 --> 00:17:09,714
Mom, I have to talk to you
about something. Um...
279
00:17:09,815 --> 00:17:13,151
I hope that you don't hate me
for saying this, but
280
00:17:13,252 --> 00:17:16,254
I am uncomfortable
with you dating.
281
00:17:17,456 --> 00:17:18,990
Oh, I see.
282
00:17:19,091 --> 00:17:22,193
It doesn't have anything
to do with parker. It's just...
283
00:17:22,294 --> 00:17:24,262
...So soon after dad's death.
284
00:17:24,363 --> 00:17:26,531
Well, it seemed soon
to me, too.
285
00:17:26,632 --> 00:17:30,935
That's why when parker
first asked me out in the
grocery store, I said no.
286
00:17:31,036 --> 00:17:34,739
I thought it would be
disrespectful to the
memory of your father.
287
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,309
So, you waited
till you got to the parking lot?
288
00:17:40,946 --> 00:17:44,081
For your information,
I turned parker down for weeks.
289
00:17:44,182 --> 00:17:46,785
I spent a lot of sleepless
nights feeling guilty
290
00:17:46,886 --> 00:17:49,421
For even considering
going out with him.
291
00:17:49,522 --> 00:17:51,089
Mom, that's what
you should feel!
292
00:17:51,190 --> 00:17:53,558
I mean, you were married
to dad for 50 years!
293
00:17:53,659 --> 00:17:55,360
It was 51 years.
294
00:17:55,461 --> 00:17:58,896
And seven months. I don't
need you to tell me how
I should feel.
295
00:17:59,198 --> 00:18:03,067
Excuse me. I'm having some
trouble having to see you
with another man.
296
00:18:03,102 --> 00:18:07,405
It just seems like,
I don't know, like dad
has just been replaced.
297
00:18:07,506 --> 00:18:09,140
Replaced?
298
00:18:11,276 --> 00:18:13,244
Jill.
299
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,482
Your father could never
be replaced.
300
00:18:19,685 --> 00:18:21,720
He's still so much
a part of my life
301
00:18:21,821 --> 00:18:25,990
That it takes everything I've
got to let someone else in.
302
00:18:26,259 --> 00:18:29,093
I'm sorry, mom.
303
00:18:29,195 --> 00:18:33,097
I just... I hadn't anticipated
how hard it would be for me
to...
304
00:18:33,199 --> 00:18:35,399
...Not have dad here
for christmas.
305
00:18:35,500 --> 00:18:37,969
Well, it's hard for me, too.
306
00:18:38,070 --> 00:18:42,440
I mean, as much as I'm trying
to move on with my life, it...
307
00:18:42,541 --> 00:18:46,244
[sobbing] not having him around
just tears my heart out.
308
00:18:46,979 --> 00:18:48,713
Oh.
309
00:18:48,814 --> 00:18:51,850
You don't know how happy
that makes me.
310
00:18:54,586 --> 00:18:55,586
Well, not happy.
311
00:18:55,687 --> 00:18:58,556
- That sounded awful!
- I know what you mean, honey.
312
00:18:58,657 --> 00:19:00,058
Oh, mom.
313
00:19:00,159 --> 00:19:02,593
Oh, now, come on now, come on.
314
00:19:02,694 --> 00:19:06,764
Remember when you girls were
little and your father would
get up on christmas
315
00:19:06,866 --> 00:19:10,235
And make his famous
apple pancakes?
316
00:19:10,336 --> 00:19:11,502
Oh, yeah.
317
00:19:11,603 --> 00:19:14,638
As soon as he left the room
we fed them to the dog.
318
00:19:16,408 --> 00:19:18,910
Do you think that's
what killed the dog?
319
00:19:19,011 --> 00:19:20,411
[laughing]
320
00:19:20,512 --> 00:19:22,647
Well, it was sweet of him
to do it for us.
321
00:19:22,748 --> 00:19:26,317
And nice of him to pass
his cooking skills along to me.
322
00:19:28,087 --> 00:19:29,454
- Mom.
- Hmm?
323
00:19:29,555 --> 00:19:32,457
You remember I wanted you
to open that present?
324
00:19:32,558 --> 00:19:34,025
- Oh, yes.
- Would you do that now?
325
00:19:34,126 --> 00:19:36,294
- Yes, thank you.
- Here.
326
00:19:36,995 --> 00:19:38,863
Here you go.
327
00:19:38,964 --> 00:19:43,000
Oh, look at that. There's an
air filter and a gas cap.
328
00:19:47,473 --> 00:19:49,340
Oh, jill.
329
00:19:50,443 --> 00:19:53,211
I found it in your house
and I had it restored.
330
00:19:53,312 --> 00:19:56,013
Oh, it's beautiful.
331
00:19:56,115 --> 00:19:58,983
You were a beautiful bride.
332
00:19:59,085 --> 00:20:01,686
Look at that lovely
alabaster skin.
333
00:20:01,787 --> 00:20:04,722
No, I was pale 'cause I was
stuffed into that dress so tight
334
00:20:04,823 --> 00:20:07,725
The blood couldn't
get to my head.
335
00:20:07,826 --> 00:20:11,963
Of course, dad's uniform is
perfect. Check out the sword.
336
00:20:12,098 --> 00:20:15,600
That wasn't just
for show, you know.
337
00:20:15,701 --> 00:20:18,369
What? You're gonna tell me
he cut the cake with it?
338
00:20:18,471 --> 00:20:22,207
No, he used it to cut me
out of that dress.
339
00:20:24,110 --> 00:20:27,678
[randy] all right, dad.
Judges are out front.
Turn on your lights.
340
00:20:27,779 --> 00:20:29,947
- Judges, you all ready?
- Ready.
341
00:20:30,048 --> 00:20:32,883
- One, two, three.
- [switch clicks]
342
00:20:34,853 --> 00:20:38,522
[♪ instrumental version
of joy to the world plays]
343
00:20:43,695 --> 00:20:45,429
- [music stops]
- oh!
344
00:20:45,530 --> 00:20:49,033
- [thudding]
- [glass breaking]
345
00:20:49,134 --> 00:20:50,568
- Dad!
- [car alarms blaring]
346
00:20:50,669 --> 00:20:53,404
Your santa bounced off
three different cars.
347
00:20:53,505 --> 00:20:55,606
What did the judge
think of the lights?
348
00:20:55,707 --> 00:20:58,509
We'll let you know
when he regains consciousness.
349
00:21:03,082 --> 00:21:06,717
Christmas is over.
Your wife might have got you
stuff you didn't want.
350
00:21:06,818 --> 00:21:07,986
So, what do you do?
351
00:21:08,087 --> 00:21:11,089
I say exchange them
for some how-to videos
352
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:13,624
From binford's new
home video collection.
353
00:21:13,725 --> 00:21:16,560
Like this one,
our newest, look who's caulking.
354
00:21:20,532 --> 00:21:24,835
[tim] the most important thing
when caulking is to get
a smooth, even seal.
355
00:21:24,936 --> 00:21:26,871
I like to use a harbor seal.
356
00:21:26,972 --> 00:21:29,374
[tim imitating seal]
357
00:21:29,475 --> 00:21:32,176
- Right, al?
- [al] I don't think so, tim.
358
00:21:32,278 --> 00:21:35,413
Concentrate on the work
or there could be an accident.
359
00:21:35,514 --> 00:21:39,617
[tim] actually, there's
already been an accident.
360
00:21:39,718 --> 00:21:41,352
Mom!
361
00:21:44,422 --> 00:21:47,759
I never knew detroit
had stop signs.
362
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:51,061
Those octagonal red things?
Yeah.
363
00:21:51,162 --> 00:21:53,531
Are those octagons?
364
00:21:55,701 --> 00:21:57,768
Just... Are they octagonal?
365
00:21:57,870 --> 00:22:00,371
Well, I scared myself
with that word.
366
00:22:02,807 --> 00:22:05,576
I never knew detroit
had stop signs.
367
00:22:05,677 --> 00:22:08,012
Ah. Those octagonal
red things. No.
368
00:22:10,349 --> 00:22:13,585
I never knew detroit
had stop signs.
369
00:22:13,686 --> 00:22:16,087
Those are those
octagonal red...
