- Tim, wait. The sink is still clogged.
- I'll get to it in a minute.

Come on out here.
I want you to see this thing.

Well, what do you think?
This is the frame to a '34 ford Roadster.

- The beginning of my dream hot rod.
- Dad, this thing's awesome.

What's the big deal?
It doesn't even have an engine.

Well, not yet.
I've got to build it.

I think I'm going to use a small block
Chevy 350, stainless steel headers,

chrome valves, pink rods, dual exhaust,
glass… Honey, what do you think?

- Well, you finally got your convertible.
- Honey.

Dad, am I going to be able to help you
work on this thing?

- You bet.
- No, no. Brad…

- Honey, you have to finish your homework.
- Oh, man.

No "oh, mans". Do as she says.

When you finish your homework.
then you can help me.

- All right.
- Hey. Randy!

- You finish your homework?
- Yeah.

- You want to help?
- No.

- Where did I go wrong with him?
- Don't worry about it. He's not yours.

Well? Pretty cool, huh?

Not much pitting. It's really
true and square, a little bit of rust.

I went through every junkyard in Detroit
to find this. I paid practically nothing.

You paid too much.

- You don't. Honey, honey…
- Tim, you promised me…

- This is a dream, this is a dream…
- You were gonna help me finish…

…of mine since I was a kid.
Since I was a kid.

I wanted a hot rod. Not a pro street rod.
nothing fancy, just a driver, man.

When I get done, every bolt.
every weld, every detail

is going to be built by these hands.
I'll be part of it, it'll be part of me.

Honey. I do understand. Now. I want you
to come in and be part of our sink.

I know it seems like
a rusted piece of junk.

- Tim, it is a rusted piece of junk.
- To you. But to me, it looks like this.

You actually see a car in that picture?

- It's under Rita.
- Rita!

She's the pro stock girl. They just
use her to make the car look good.

And a darn fine job she's doing, too.

Boy, isn't she ever.

Boy, you know what I've got to do
is get the rust off this first.

Sandblast would be expensive.
I'm going to try…

- What are you doing with those?
- I'm going to unplug the sink.

You can't unplug the sink
with needle nose pliers.

I'm going to use the pliers
to get your screwdriver out of the drain.

- Why is my screwdriver in the drain?
- I used it to unclog the sink.

What?!

You used a screwdriver?

Yeah, well. I tried the plunger and it didn't
work, so I decided I should stab the guck.

"Stab the guck"
with a Binford nickel-plated screwdriver?

Yeah.

Why don't you just go back to your hot rod
and let me take care of this?

Right. Next thing you know you'll be
jamming my band saw down there.

I might.
What's a band saw?

Never mind.
I'll get my tools, drain, sink, screwdriver…

- Son of a gun!
- Are you guys fighting?

- Yes!
- No.

Honey, it's real noisy down here.

Why don't you just go upstairs
and finish your homework up there?

Jill, come over here. I'm going to teach you
some basic plumbing.

No, no, no. Tim.
You are not teaching.

Look, you've got to learn basic plumbing.
What would happen if I died?

And all the plumbers are dead?

Yes,

Tim, every time you try to
teach me anything.

- you get impatient and you end up yelling.
- When was the last time I yelled at you?

When you showed me how to
assemble the patio furniture.

You snapped the heads right off the bolts.

You told me to turn the wrench
as hard as I could.

Most people would stop turning
when the wood starts cracking.

Well. I would've heard the wood cracking
if you hadn't been yelling.

- I wasn't yelling…
- You were yelling!

Plumbing is very simple.
It's easy to learn if you just pay attention.

- If I pay attention, will you be patient?
- And you won't ask any stupid questions?

- fine.
- fine.

OK, first thing we want to do
is remove the trap.

The curved thingy?

Well, that would be the technical term.

To remove the trap.
we have to have the proper tool.

for that, we use the trusty monkey wrench.

You'll notice one side is fixed.
it's serrated on both sides…

Why do they call it a monkey wrench?

They call it a monkey wrench
because even a monkey can use it.

Thank you. Cheetah.

OK, now put the wrench on the coupling
at the end of the trap.

- You mean this thing here?
- No, no, no.

That connects the elbow
to the drain pipe and the flange.

"flange"? Who comes up
with all these stupid names?

I'm sorry, honey. It's the little silvery thingy
at the bottom, right down in…

You don't have to be sarcastic, you know.

You're using all these technical terms.

- This is practically baby talk.
- Oh, oh, excuse me.

I guess I forgot that Mark's first three words
were "Mommy". "Daddy" and "flange".

- Give me the wrench. I'll do it.
- fine, you do it.

OK, fine. I will.

At least I know what I'm doing.
Ow!

Is that the coupling or the flange?

That sink's working pretty good, isn't it?

- Uh-huh.
- Water's running freely, no clogs.

Things got kind of heated
between us today, didn't they?

- Yeah, they did.
- Well. I'd like to clear the air.

I apologize, and I'm sorry.

Thank you. Apology accepted.

- And you?
- And me what?

- Don't you want to apologize to me?
- for what?

- for yelling at me.
- But I didn't yell at you. You yelled at me.

That's because you dropped a screwdriver
down the sink.

I don't think you realize
that I worked two hours on this sink.

But I worked two hours on the sink
before you did.

Worked?
You just threw tools down there.

I was trying to fix it.

If you wanted to fix it.
you should learn how to do it properly.

Well, why should I learn how to do it

when you already know how to
do it properly?

Honey. I thought we share
responsibilities here.

- We do.
- Well. I learned how to do the laundry.

Separate the colors.
put the fabric softener in…

No, wait, wait. Wait a minute. When was
the last time that you did the laundry. Tim?

You know, that's…
this isn't the point.

The point is. I learned how to do it.

I don't see you out there
changing spark plugs.

Do you want me to go out
and change the spark plugs?

- You don't know how to do it.
- That's why I don't do it.

- Hey, where're you going?
- I'm leaving.

I'm not done talking yet.

Well, it's not my fault that you never
learned how to finish a conversation.

Now that we've finished the construction
of our trestle table.

Let's begin the finish and sanding.

for that. I'm going to discuss
mo different kinds of sanders.

Your belt sander, which is very powerful
and perfect for the rough sanding.

and your orbital, or vibrating sander.
which is smaller

and perfect for putting in your pocket.
Right. Al?

I wouldn't know. Tim.

I am kidding about that.
I am kidding.

Never, ever put electrical devices
in your pants.

All right, before we get going here. I'd like
to ask you fellas a few questions if I could.

It is the '90s, and women expect us to help
a little bit around the house, don't they?

- Maybe we should. Should we?
- Yeah.

Hey, come on. You know we should
help around the house, right?

Yeah, you know the problem is.
women want us to help with their work.

but do they help with our work?
No!

They expect us to do the laundry.
clean the oven, mop the floor, huh, right?

Do you ever see her out there
gapping and changing a spark plug?

No! Unclogging a drain?

No! Their excuse is.
"Well, you know about this stuff. I don't."

"I could break a nail."

This is an excuse, women.
and you're not the type to have excuses.

You need to be taught.
And I don't think you're stupid

just because you don't know anything.

No, that didn't come out right.

I don't want to get any cards and letters
over that, right, Al?

That's Tim Taylor, care of Tool Time.
PO Box 327…

Al, I think they know the address.

Well, this is gonna be different
because on next week's show.

I've invited a group of women in, and
I'm going to teach them basic home repair

using a simple language
even women can understand.

- PO Box 32733…
- No. I didn't mean to give the impression

that women are simple.
No, that's not what I mean.

I mean, it's not a woman's fault
that they grew up spending half their time

playing with plastic ovens and dolls.
and don't know a thing about tools.

Right. Al?

All right, we're going to finish
sanding that table now.

We've got our belt attached
with a rough grip.

And we want to plug the thing in now.

Of course, you want to be sure the trigger
switch is not locked in the "on" position.

Any idiot knows that. Al.

All right, good.

Thanks a lot. Dad.
That was fun.

- You did a good job.
- Thanks.

Are you ready for that test today?

- I guess so.
- What do you mean you guess so?

It's not fair. I study mice as hard
as Randy does - he gets As and I get Cs.

Certain things he does better.
certain things you do better.

- You kick his butt in basketball, don't you?
- Yeah.

To me it's the effort you put into things.
not just the grade that counts.

- So it's OK if I flunk?
- No.

I don't want you living here when you're 25.

"Dad, you wanna shave together
or somethin'? Come on."

Dad…

I'm kidding.
You're gonna do fine on that test.

- School bus is here!
- So long. Dad.

- Good luck on your test, honey.
- Bye. Mom.

Bye-bye.

I'll get that.

Hello. Yeah, it's me.

What do you mean we don't have
any women in the audience today?

Two?

Well, didn't you put up the address
on the screen?

Hate mail?

We gotta have women in that audience.

I don't care how you do it.
I need a full audience of women.

Thanks. Lisa.

- Problem?
- Huh?

Ah, just a minor setback.

I didn't get the response from
the female viewers I thought I would.

Maybe cos they're all home playing
with their dolls and plastic ovens.

I'm going down to the studio.

I, for one, am not going to miss
this very special Tool Time.

You don't have 40 friends
you can bring with you, do you?

Hey. Wilson.

Wilson.
Wilson, you all right?

- Just fine, neighbor.
- Agh!

I see you've met my scarecrow - Oliver.

I always try to flameproof him
before I put him away for winter.

- Wilson. I've got a little problem.
- Mm-hmm.

I've gotta teach a bunch of women some
home repair tips today on Tool Time.

Uh-huh.
And these women worry you?

Well, if they're anything like Jill, they do.

We got into this big argument when I
tried to teach her some basic plumbing.

Mm-hmm.

Just simple stuff, you know -
coupling, flange, the trap.

Well. Tim. I think the problem
might be your metamessage.

That would be "message" with "meta"
on the front of it.

Yes, sirree Bob.

Two Ms, three Es, two As, two Ss.
T and a lonely little G.

You have an awful lot of spare time,
don't you, Wilson?

You see, Tim, when men teach women,
they tend to use

complicated, technical terms
to make themselves appear superior.

Thus saying to the woman
"you are inferior".

That's what I'll do on Tool Time today.
No metamessages, keep it simple.

Hi, everybody, and welcome to this special
edition, "The Ladies of Tool Time".

Hey! Normally we get the show going
with a big hearty grunt

to get those lungs open.
Come on, everybody.

Where is Irma?

Yeah.

I drove all the way from Langton
to see Cooking with Irma.

Well, settle down for a minute.
We played a little trick on you.

We took the normal Tool Time audience

and they're over watching
Cooking with Irma.

and we brought you ladies in here
for a little treat.

Hey. I don't care about no tools.
I came down here to learn to cook.

I'm confused.

You mean Irma's not going to show us
how to make crab curry?

No. Wha-what's going to happen…
I'm gonna show you

how to repair three very typical
household problems.

Oh, a clogged sink.

a bad electrical connection.
the running toilet.

Oh, my God.

Hey, you get to keep those hats.

Those hats are yours.

Hey, there's the spirit.

Oh, we need three volunteers right away.

- I'll volunteer.
- OK.

You had your hand up. Let's get
her down with some applause here.

OK, we need one more volunteer.

You had your hand up.
didn't you, ma'am?

No. I didn't.

Oh, come on. You look like the kind
of woman that wants to learn this stuff.

Give her a round of applause.
Get her out here - come on!

Well, we've got our three volunteers.
What do you say we meet our helpers?

- Your name?
- My name is Greta Post.

- OK. Greta, are you married?
- No. I'm still looking for Mr Right.

How do you feel about beards?

Oh. I like them.

Ma'am, your name?

Rita.

You look pretty happy.
You must be happily married.

Yes, but I'm kind of planning a divorce.

- Excuse me, ma'am, your name?
- Judith Potter.

Hello. Judith Potter.
Are you married?

22 years to the same slug.

22 years.

And what a happy time
that must've been.

Let's start with you. Greta.

Step over to the sink here.

Your typical clog. Al, could we have
a little breathing room in here, please?

Excuse me.

Want me to get you a magazine
or something. Al?

This is your typical sink clog.
with yucky hair and grease.

and I want to thank the crew of Tool Time
for providing all that hair and grease.

Thanks, guys.

- All right.
- Am I gonna have to touch it?

Well, yeah, to get it out of there.
you have to yank it out of there.

Would you like me to
get you some gloves. Greta?

- Oh, could you. Al?
- Right away.

Why don't you get that picnic basket and
a bottle of wine while you're back there?

While we're waiting for Al, maybe Judith
can help me work on this running toilet.

I know it probably sounds complicated.
but it's not.

Take the lid off.

You follow the rod 'till you get this
little puffy ball right on the end here…

- Puffy ball?
- Right. On the end…

You mean the float arm
that's attached to the ball cock?

- I was trying to make it simple.
- You saying I'm simple?

No. No. I'm trying to use a language
we would all understand.

Then you want to take your flat-tip
screwdriver - make your adjustment.

- You don't need all that.
- The proper way to do it…

- You don't need all that.
- You gotta…

If the toilet is running.
you just grab the rod…

- and bend it.
- Ouch!

Looks like that's not the first rod
you've bent.

Whoo-hoo, you've got that right.

Hey, we can't wait around for
our husbands to get off the couch

and do something useful, can we?

Hey, you doggone right!
I know it can't happen.

Well. Looks like Greta's got those gloves.
Let's check on that clog, shall we?

- Want to handle that clog?
- I can't do this.

- Oh, sure you can. Greta.
- Would you like to sit down and rest?

What?!

Well. I think I would.

Can I get you a soda?

Hey, uh…

You want me to fix the sink?

No, Judith, you've done a good job.
You bent that rod perfectly, you know?

Give her a big round of applause.
everybody.

OK.

Well. Rita, how would you like to
help me unclog this sink?

No. I don't think it's a good idea.

My husband always yells at me a lot
when he tries to teach me something.

That's probably because he used
metamessages.

That's making things sound more
complicated than they are.

Using technical jargon
to make women feel inferior.

And I'm sure he didn't know
he was doing that

and I'm sure he's real sorry
that he did that.

Well,

I wouldn't mind learning
if my husband were as patient

and understanding as you are.
Although, I must say,

he is your biggest fan.

- Brad, how did that test go today?
- I tried my best.

Is the grade at least within
the first four letters of the alphabet?

Come on. Brad. How did you do?

I was hoping to get a C, but I didn't.

- That's all right.
- Ah.

- I got a C plus!
- All right!

- Good work.
- Effort, buddy. The effort.

- Nice going, jerk ball.
- Thanks a lot, doof.

Get me a soda, will ya?

Dad, are we going to be able to work
on the hot rod?

Yeah. But you've got to go change
your clothes, all right?

All right.

So, um… Tim.
you were a pretty good teacher today.

- Well, you were my best student.
- I was your only student.

But I really did learn something.
so I decided to give you something.

- Yeah?
- I know how much

you like that picture of the hot rod.

The picture in the magazine
with Rita in it?

- Yeah.
- Really?

- So I had it blown up.
- What a sport.

Well. looky there.
There's a car in that picture.

Yeah!

Pink slips, pal.

Nine grand, whole shot.

Ah! Missed a shift.

What are you doing?

Just checkin' out that frame, honey.

You are not.
You're pretending to drive.

Well, maybe I was.

- Is there room for mo in there?
- Wanna go for a spin?

Love to.

- All-leather Recaros.
- Ooh.

- Yeah.
- Thank you so much.

Watch the paint.

Unlock my door, please.

High output ignition system.

- Pretty nice, huh?
- Very nice.
