All language subtitles for Home Improvement - 201 - Read My Hips

Thank you very much
and welcome to Tool Time.

l'm your host, of course,
Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor,

and you all know my assistant
Al "l can't find a better job" Borland.

Anyway, all this week Al and l
will be doin' our salute to safety,

'cause, after all, Al, a safe workplace
is a happy workplace. Right?

l wouldn't know, Tim.

And who better to help us
with our salute to safety week,

than the boys
at K&B Construction Company?

Let's get 'em out here with a big round
of applause from the Tool Time crowd.

Come on, get 'em out here.

- Welcome aboard, guys.
- Always great to be here, Timmy.

The reason l asked these guys down here
is a darn good one.

The guys probably have
the toughest job in construction

in the state of Michigan -
workin' on the high steel.

And these guys have a perfect
safety record for the last 195 days.

195.

- Think about that--
- Timmy.

l'm afraid that record stopped at 194.

Good night, nurse. What happened?

Well, yesterday, somebody
had a little accident with a rivet.

Well, you see, Tim, l was so excited
about coming back on your show,

l let one of those red-hot rivets slip.

Yes, you did.

Hey, look on the bright side.
You didn't burn any hair.

Tim, rivet accidents
are no laughing matter.

And neither are you, Al.

Hey, before we get
to our safety demonstration,

l'd like to get to a letter
on a very controversial subject.

By a Charles Eddington,
from Grosse Pointe, Michigan.

He writes, "Dear Tim."

"You've taken this masculinism bit too far.

"All you do is use loud tools,
act macho and grunt like an ape.

Your show makes me sick and so do you."

He continues,

"l'd like to see a lot less of that Al guy.
l hate Al."

- Can l see that, Tim?
- We don't have time for that, Al.

You know...

Maybe Chas is right. Maybe we should
stop this gruntin'. What do you think?

- No.
- Hey, hey, hey.

Folks, what do you think?
Stop the gruntin'?

No.

Well, Chucky, l tried.

l think it's time to give this letter
back to the complaint department.

Lisa.

- Here you go, Tim. All loaded.
- Thanks, Lisa.

Chucky, this...

is the complaint department.

Al.

Wanna hold that letter up for me?

l don't think so, Tim.

l'd like to respond by saying,
"Charlie, thanks for sharing your feelings."

Please feel free to write anytime.

Well, what do you think?
Can we put the kids in the middle?

Mom, why are you
dropping flowers on the table?

They're petals, see? lt's romantic.

l'm gonna give your father
this surprise dinner tonight

and l want everything to be perfect for him.

Then why aren't you eating
in front of the TV?

Why don't you go get your suitcase?
Randy, come on, move it.

Not yet.
l think Brad and Jennifer are gonna kiss.

What?

Well, they've been looking
at each other like that for an hour.

l have never seen him
stare at anything that long.

Maybe l should just glue
his history book to her face.

They're coming.

- Bye, Mrs. Taylor.
- Jennifer. l didn't know you were still here.

Bye.

- Will l see you tomorrow?
- Yeah, l'll be playing football at the park.

- Maybe l'll come by.
- That'd be great.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Well, Jennifer punched you.

Kathy Kramer said
when a girl punches a boy,

she wants to get a hot kiss on the lips.

That is not what it means.

Well, Kathy Kramer should know, Mom.
She went to school in France.

You stay away from her.

And Brad, you are way too young
to be thinking about kissing.

There's other things
that you need to think about first.

Like... shaving.

l've shaved.

Not a cat, stupid.

We'll go pack.

You're representing Tool Time here.

You do better when you don't concentrate.
Just don't concentrate.

- That's it.
- Time.

All right, let's see. Rock, you've got...

1 4 peanuts in your hat.

Tim...

- you've got 1 5.
- Yes!

No! Count 'em again!

Still champion. Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor.
The crowd goes wild. Yeah. Yeah.

lt's gettin' late, guys.
l'm gonna call my wife real quick.

No, wait, Tim. Am l hearing this right?
You have to check in with the little woman?

Those pants come
in a man's size, Timmy?

Hey, back off, fellas. l'm showing a little
consideration. You got a problem with this?

- Hello.
- Hey, butthead.

Excuse me?

Honey. you're not a butthead. of course.
I got hit with a peanut.

Tim, where are you?

l'm down at Big Mike's
with the guys from K&B.

Well, l thought you said this morning
that you were coming right home.

I know I said that. But we had a great
show so we stopped by for a few beers.

- Is that all right?
- Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That sounds like fun.

But l want you to know that
l'm really looking forward to seeing you.

Same here, you know. l'll be home
real soon. 15 minutes tops. l'm on my...

on my way out the door right now.
Set your timer.

OK. l'm just gonna be
listening to a little...

- Billie Holiday.
- Yeah, l'm comin' right home.

- l'll be waiting.
- OK. bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

- Hey, guys, l think l gotta get outta here.
- No. You just got here.

You can't leave.
Your peanut crown's on the line.

You've been challenged
in the Peanut Plunge.

- By who? l beat everybody.
- Except me.

Oh.

- One more.
- Set it up. Set it up.

Two hours. Unbelievable.

"Set the timer."

Hello.

lt's me.

Hey, Jill.
What are you doin' sittin' here in the--

Uh-oh.

Hey, looks like
you planned something special.

- Yeah.
- You put together a little dinner for--

Uh-huh.

Hey, where are the kids?

Your mother came and picked 'em up.

No kids. Oh, no.

Yeah, so we could have a nice
romantic evening alone together,

just me and that chicken on your plate.

So you must have had to
carry the conversation.

l just wanna know what happened to
"15 minutes. Set the timer."

Honey, l'm really sorry, but the guys and l
got in some real serious discussions

about...

relationship things,
you know, men-women stuff.

Sharing feelings.

Pretty heavy stuff.

l spent two days planning this evening.

Do you have any idea how long it's been

since we had a quiet,
romantic evening together?

l was on the phone.
Why didn't you say, "Come home"?

- l wanted to surprise you.
- Well, l'm surprised.

Come on, Jill. Lighten up. l didn't
understand what you meant on the phone.

Well, what did you think l meant
when l said all that stuff

about how l was looking forward
to seeing you and "l'll be waiting"?

Like you said it like
that - "l'll be waiting."

Well, l wanted to be more subtle.
What did you want me to say?

"The kids are gone, l'm home alone.
Come and take me, big daddy."

That l understand.

- Good night.
- Come on, Jill.

l don't go out with these guys every night.
What's making you so angry?

l am angry because you said

you were going to be home in 15 minutes
and then you weren't.

Because l'm flirting with you like crazy
on the phone and you didn't even notice.

And most of all, because
l went to all this trouble for nothing.

l spent the whole evening by myself, and
now you're stuck with a plate of cold food.

Don't worry about me,
l ate at the bar.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
l didn't have dessert.

When a girl punches you...

do you think she wants to kiss you?

lf it's an uppercut, no.

lf it's a short jab
to the shoulder, maybe.

That's what l thought.

Has Jennifer been
giving you jabs or uppercuts?

Jabs.

- Does that worry you?
- Yeah.

Me too.

But when you and Mom kiss,
do you ever bump noses?

Are you kiddin'?
We got the tilt thing down.

When you kiss a woman,
you gotta lean to one side,

she's gotta go the other side,
so you don't mash noses.

Unless you could find a woman
whose nose is big enough

you could fit right into it.

- Listen...
- Dad...

Don't rush into this kissing thing, OK?

That's what Mom said.
She said l'm too young.

She's right. She's really smart.
We didn't start kissing till last week.

- Hey, doof, wanna go play some football?
- Don't punch me.

He punched you, gotta kiss him. Come on.

No way.

Hey, hey. Leave those eggs alone, please.
That's my breakfast.

Where's Mom?
And how come you're eating alone?

- No reason.
- You and Mom have a fight?

No, we did not have a fight.

- So what did you do wrong, Dad?
- l didn't do anything wrong.

Remember that, little mister.
Now go out and play or do something.

OK, OK. Just because he has a fight
with Mom, he has to take it out on me.

Tim, about last night...

Did you make me breakfast?

Yeah. Yeah.

- This is really sweet.
- Well, you're worth it, honey.

l was just...
l got up this morning and l was thinking:

"What could l do for Jill?"

And it just came to me - eggs.

- Thank you. They're delicious.
- Mm.

- Tim, l feel really bad about last night--
- Hey, Dad.

- Don't interrupt.
- How come Mom gets to eat your eggs?

There's no name on these.

- Kids.
- Great.

- Your eggs.
- What's mine is yours, honey.

No, Tim. What's yours is yours.
You see, that's the difference between us.

l would have made you breakfast
because l'm always focused on you.

Are you saying l don't
do anything romantic for you?

That's not what l'm saying. ln fact,
that whole thing last night was your idea.

- That was my idea?
- Yeah. You know the other night,

when we were watching that
Charles Boyer movie on the late show,

and there was that real
romantic candlelight dinner scene

between lngrid Bergman
and Charles Boyer?

You said,
"Wouldn't it be nice if we did that?"

l meant talk with accents.

Why don't you just ever tune in to me?

What am l supposed to do?
Read your mind?

At least when l want something,
it's pretty clear what it is l want.

Well, that's true, Tim.
Your signals are real clear.

You crush a beer can on your head,
that means, "l need another one."

You belch...

...that's, "l'm done."

And, "Honey, l took a shower,"

that's, "Wake up, l'm ready."

Safety on the job site
is a priority.

That's why proper equipment
is essential.

Custom-designed hard hat.

And proper safety goggles to protect
your eyes from unexpected objects.

Anyway, these goggles
are specially coated to reduce glare

and prevent scratching.

And they're vented
for your added comfort.

And so is Al.

Anyway, the important thing here
is safety on the job site.

And safety starts
at a little spot right here.

You must have direct and clear
communication between your coworkers.

Look out!

See? See?

Had this been a real emergency,
Al would be safe

because l gave him
a clear and direct signal.

And as Al's coworker,
l'm concerned with his safety.

Just as Al is concerned with mine.
Right, Al?

What's your point, Tim?

Good direct question.

My point is, l don't think women
are as clear with their signals as men.

l know they're not.
On a job site, for instance,

if a man holds up a stop sign,
he means, "Hey, stop there!"

lf a woman holds up the stop sign...
lf she designed this, it'd say:

"lf you really knew me,
you'd know what you should do right now."

Come on, come on.
Hurry up. They're coming.

Boy, Billy really hit you hard
on that touchdown.

Yeah. No big deal.

ls your arm OK?

Just tore off a hunk of skin.
lt doesn't hurt.

l fell off of my bike once and cut my knee.
lt was all green and full of pus.

Ew! Cool.

- You wanna see the scar?
- Sure.

Jill? Hey, Jill.

l... Sorry,
l didn't mean to interrupt anything.

Excuse me a minute, Jennifer.
Brad, where's your mom?

- l don't know.
- She went to the store.

Come on down from there,
you little monkeys. Come out here.

- You guys are dead.
- Get out of that tree.

- Come on, Jennifer. l'll walk you home.
- OK.

- Bye, Mr. Taylor.
- Bye, Jennifer.

What do you think you're doin' up there?

Hope you're satisfied.
You embarrassed your brother on his date.

Yeah, that was the plan.

Bad plan. Go embarrass somebody else.

lt had to be you

lt had to be you

l wandered around, finally found

Somebody who

Hi-ho, tone-deaf neighbor.

Hey, Wilson.
What are you doing with that feather?

Tim, l'm practicing
an ancient Japanese technique.

Sumo tickling.

No, no, Tim. l'm cross-pollinating irises.

You take a feather
and move the pollen from the stamen...

lt had to be you

...to the pistil.

lt had to be you

- Why do you sing?
- Gets 'em in the mood, Tim.

Here's to l'amour.

There won't be any l'amour
at this house tonight.

Tim, l think l hear a problem.

lf you got a minute, Wilson, listen.

Jill says she's sending out signals
that l'm not picking up.

l say the signals are so subtle
no man could pick 'em up.

Well, Tim, l think men are capable
of grasping very subtle ideas.

- What are you saying?
- Well, maybe not all men.

Tim, you're putting a bored-out small-block
350 engine into your hot rod, right?

You bet l am. 400 crank, 30 to a 383.

That's a very complex piece of machinery.

400 ponies. Holley double pumper.
Yeah, you betcha.

2200 rpm stall-converter.
Purrs like a kitten. Maybe a big cat.

lf something went wrong with that engine,
you'd be able to hear it?

- Oh, yeah.
- Really?

King-king-bing-ding-ding-ding.

Metal-to-metal noises - valve train.
Maybe camshaft, lower end. Bad news.

Arcing sounds, always electrics, just dead.
You can pick up on that stuff.

That's very, very subtle.
Must be hard to pick up on that?

Not if you're tuned in,
really paying attention.

lt had to be you

lt seems like it's always me. Yeah.

Hi, ma'am. Telephone repairman
here to fix the phone.

- Tim, what are you doing?
- The name's Fred, ma'am.

- Fred?
- Yeah, Fred.

Got a report
of some crossed signals at this house.

That the faulty unit over here?

Yeah, Fred. l've been having some trouble
getting through to my husband.

l can fix that, ma'am.

Are you here by yourself?

Must be hard on a woman
as fine-looking as you, big house like this,

get a little lonely, huh?

Do you like gladiator movies?

Tim, l don't think you should do that.

lt's not Tim, it's Fred.

There's your problem.
The receiver's just not pickin' up signals.

Well, maybe it's my fault.

Maybe...

sometimes l don't speak clearly enough.

No, it's not your fault.
Your signals are quite clear.

There's your problem right there, ma'am.

The attentive wire is faulty.
Let's tighten it up, make it...

- Tim, no, no, no, no, no.
- Fred.

- Fred.
- Just needs a little tweakin'.

Well, Fred. While you're tweakin',
maybe l should get us a glass of wine.

Do you usually talk to repairmen like this?

No, it's just something
about that name, Fred.

Well, there she is.

Good as new.

Does this mean that my husband
will pick up on all my signals now?

Loud and clear, babe.

Well.

Do you think that he'll
pick up on this one?

Rotator cuff problem?

How about this one?

You want me to steal second?

- Maybe l'm being too subtle.
- Look out, lady.

You don't wanna pay your bill,
do you, lady?

You remember
the first time you kissed me?

lt was outside my dorm after Casablanca.

l thought it was after That Darn Cat.
starring Dean Jones.

l often get those films confused.

l remember, l hesitated.

Then you shut your eyes.
Boy, my heart was going crazy, wasn't it?

- Oh, yeah, boom-boom-boom-boom.
- Di-di-di-di-di.

And then we did the tilt thing wrong.

Then we locked.

Mommy and Daddy
sittin' in the tree,

k-i-s-s-i-n-g.

We're in the tree, stupid!

A quality safety hat.

And goggles.

l completely whacked him!

And proper equipment is essential.

A safety hat.

Safety...
