DJ and Steph's room. DJ walks in
DJ: Steph, how you doing?
Stephanie: I've been better.
DJ: I know how you feel.
Stephanie: No you don't. You've been to Disneyland.

DJ: Then howcome you're laughing?
Stephanie: I'm not this is sad laughing!
Danny walks in
Danny: Steph, I'm so glad to see you happy.
Stephanie: That didn't count, tickle monster made me laugh.
Danny: Stephanie, you have every reason to be sad, and I completely understand.
Stephanie: Thank you!
Danny: Look Steph, I want you to really think about this. You're not always gonna get your own way. And while you're spending all this time being sad about missing out on one thing, you're missing out on a lot of other fun things! Like our family sing along.
Stephanie: That wasn't so much fun.
Danny: It wasn't fun for you, because you didn't want it to be fun. I had fun, and DJ had fun, right Deej?
DJ: Ahh it was okay.
Danny looks at her
DJ: Fun! Big fun!
Danny: So it's up to you. Either you can feel sorry for yourself, or you can feel bad for a little while, and then shake it off and move on to the next fun thing. But I think I know what you're gonna do. Because you like to smile too much, right?
Stephanie: I guess so.
DJ: Hey Steph, I know something fun we can do right now.
Stephanie: What?
DJ: Well it has to do with Dad, and a certain monster...
Danny: Uh oh..
Stephanie: Uh oh is right! Here comes the tickle monster!
Danny: If you're happy and you know it clap your hands!
He starts singing as they tickle him..Jesse shuts the door, moves to his room and can still hear the singing. He throws his guitar on his bed. Joey enters
Joey: Hey Jess, what's going on?
Jesse: I don't know..Joey everytime I come into this room it seems like there's more pink bunnies on the wall.
Joey: Well you know how rabbits are.
Jesse: Joey, sit down.
Joey: Sure.
Jesse: Joseph, can I talk to you man to..well man to you.
Joey: Sure buddy. Hey you look a little down. Look I'm sorry if we wrecked your night with Samantha.
Jesse: It's not just Samantha, Joey. Joseph be honest with me. Doesn't living here get to you sometimes?
Joey: No.
Jesse: Never?
Joey: Never I love it.
Jesse: You mean to tell me you love changing diapers, making school lunches, chasing the girls all around town, changing diapers, helping them with their homework picking up their toys, did I mention changing diapers?
Joey: Some of those tasks are more rewarding than others.
Jesse: Alright, why. Why Joey? Why are you happy here?
Joey: Well Jess, I think it's because when I was growing up I didn't have brothers and sisters and I like being part of a big family. I like having people to care about, and that includes you.
Jesse: Thank you.
Joey: And besides this is the only place I've ever lived that always have ice cream in the freezer.
He offers some to Jesse
Jesse: Pass. Joey, don't you ever ask yourself.."what am I doing?" I mean, I used to be this free willing, living on the edge, no strings kinda guy, and now it seems like I'm married or something. I mean I have all the responsibilities and hassles of 3 kids, yet I can't even deduct them from my taxes!
Joey: Well techinically you could if you married Danny.
Jesse: Joey do you realize every night I sleep here I sleep alone?
Joey: Wanna get bunk beds?!
Jesse: No...no I don't--Joey I'm pouring my heart out here to you and you're making jokes!
Joey: I'm sorry..alright talk to me.
Jesse: I don't know, I guess it's just this whole situation it's just getting to me. I mean I have zero privacy. I try to write my music and I have all these distractions. Joey, I write music, I write it out of my own life experiences. My last 3 songs have been about changing diapers, the measles, and tub toys.
Joey: I thought that tub toys song was very danceable.
Jesse: I just feel like I have things to accomplish in my life you know? I mean there's things that I wanna do, and things that I wanna experience....I don't know, but maybe, maybe living here is holding me back. I don't know what the hell's happened to my life pal but I gotta regain control of it.
Joey: Hey Jess, look on the bright side. If you hadn't moved in here we'd never be as close as we are!
Jesse: I know.
Joey: Hey, sleep on it.
Jesse: Hey, thank you my friend.
Joey winks, then leaves
