Birthday Blues (1993)

Scott Weinger: Steve Hale

Quotes 

• Steve Hale : Hey, hey, D.J. deserves all of the credit. Who else could thrown all this together in just 15 minutes?

  [Everyone goes shockingly silent, with Steve trying to recover] 

  Steve Hale : Uh, n-not-not that she did, but, um, let's say if she ever forgot your birthday, and, um, only had 15 minutes, she could have thrown this together.

  Stephanie Tanner : Nice save. Not!

  Kimmy Gibbler : [Visibly hurt and embarrassed]  Now I get it. This was a mercy party. You never planned anything. You forgot my birthday, didn't you?

  D.J. Tanner : Kimmy, I-...

  Kimmy Gibbler : [to the rest of the Tanner Family]  Thanks, everybody. At least, you tried. It's nice to know you all care about me, even though my best friend doesn't.

  [Runs into the kitchen, headed for the back door] 

  D.J. Tanner : Kimmy.

  [Running into the kitchen after Kimmy, who has run out on her "mercy" birthday party] 

  D.J. Tanner : Kimmy, I'm sorry.

  Kimmy Gibbler : Forget it! Don't you and your boyfriend have an anniversary to celebrate?

  D.J. Tanner : I don't understand why you're so jealous of Steve.

  Kimmy Gibbler : [Turns around, much angrier]  You think I'm jealous? You don't know me at all.

  [She turns back around, walks out the back door, slamming the door behind her] 

  D.J. Tanner : [Danny comes into the kitchen]  She left.

  Danny Tanner : Can you blame her?

  D.J. Tanner : I apologized. I mean, there is no law that says you have to throw your friend a birthday party.

  Danny Tanner : Deej, it's not-it's not about a birthday party. You know, since Steve's been your boyfriend, I think Kimmy's been left out. You've been dating Steve for 6 months, but you've been friends with Kimmy for 6 years.

  D.J. Tanner : 7. I think you're still blocking out 1989.

  Danny Tanner : Look, Deej, in life, if your lucky, you wind up with a few really good friends. And for some reason, beyond my realm of my understanding, Kimmy is yours. Just like Joey and Jesse are mine. And with friends, you really have to come through for them. When I needed Joey and Jesse to raise you 3 girls, they were here in a second. Of course, they didn't know a diaper from a dinner napkin, which made for some pretty interesting meals, but they were here. And I'd have been there for them. And, uh, you ought to be there for Kimmy.

  D.J. Tanner : I'll go next door and talk to her.

  Danny Tanner : That's my girl.

  [They hug] 

  Danny Tanner : Okay, you go talk to Kimmy and I'll go talk to Steve...

  [Referring to the note Steve wrote to DJ in her bouquet of flowers] 

  Danny Tanner : ... Sugar Lips.

  D.J. Tanner : [Walks outside the back door to find Kimmy still sitting in the Tanners' backyard]  What are you doing here?

  Kimmy Gibbler : Well, I can't go home. My parents think you're throwing me a party. I'd look like a dork coming in at 8:30.

  D.J. Tanner : [sighs]  Kimmy, I'm really sorry I forgot your birthday. It was a lousy thing to do and I'll never forgive myself for hurting your feelings.

  Kimmy Gibbler : Never?

  D.J. Tanner : Never.

  Kimmy Gibbler : Will it eat at you till you're tormented night and day, like my Dad after a batch of bad clams?

  D.J. Tanner : Come on, Kimmy, don't put me through this.

  Kimmy Gibbler : You put me through the most humiliating night of my life. You forgot my birthday and you accuse me of being jealous of your boyfriend.

  D.J. Tanner : I should have never said that.

  Kimmy Gibbler : That really hurt because I'm not jealous. Steve's a great guy and I'm happy for you. I just miss you. It's like you have a new best friend.

  D.J. Tanner : Kimmy, you are my best friend and you always will be. There's so many things I can do with you that I could never do with Steve.

  Kimmy Gibbler : Like what?

  D.J. Tanner : Like talk about Steve. Steve and I can't go through each other's closets. He has nothing in my size. Believe me, Kimmy, no one could take your place.

  Kimmy Gibbler : I guess I am one of a kind.

  D.J. Tanner : Kimmy, you and I have been best friends since the day you moved next door. I wanna stay best friends forever.

  Kimmy Gibbler : You mean it?

  [DJ nods] 

  Kimmy Gibbler : Thanks, Deej.

  [They hug] 

  D.J. Tanner : How about next Friday night, just you and me, we'll go out for your birthday?

  Kimmy Gibbler : Sounds great.

  D.J. Tanner : Do you wanna go back to the party?

  Kimmy Gibbler : You think there's any hash-brown cake left?

  D.J. Tanner : Oh, I can pretty much guarantee it.

  [They head back inside]
