Quotes 

• Jesse Katsopolis : [after finding out Charles' father is abusing him]  Oh, I gotta report this right now.

  Stephanie Tanner : Why?

  Jesse Katsopolis : Because... if I don't, I'm gonna go straighten him out myself.

• Steve Hale : [after their attempt to each read half of a book failed]  It's like ordering a pizza and then stopping after only six slices.

  Jesse Katsopolis : Yeah, or like... like only seeing half a movie. I remember I walked into Tootsie late once and I kept saying to myself, "Who's that UGLY woman?"

• Stephanie Tanner : They took him away from his home? I never should've told you. Now he's gonna hate me! This is all your fault!

  Jesse Katsopolis : Stephanie, knock it off. Stephanie, listen. It's not my fault. It's not your fault. WE weren't the ones hurting Charles.

  Stephanie Tanner : Then why'd they have to take him out of his house?

  Jesse Katsopolis : They had to! He wasn't safe there.

• Stephanie Tanner : [on why she can't tell Jesse what's wrong]  I promised I wouldn't tell, and you always taught us never to break a promise.

  Jesse Katsopolis : Yes we did teach you that, it's a good rule but here's the thing, all rules have exceptions to them.

  Stephanie Tanner : They do?

  Jesse Katsopolis : Absolutely, like the one about don't swim for an hour after you eat, I hate that rule; I mean yes let's say you have a big dinner with a steak and baked potato and sour cream, then yes an hour. But what if you eat a cracker? Here is where the exception comes in, I say eat a cracker, wait five minutes, boom, get in the pool, a peanut... eat the peanut and swim, there're all these, a whole range of exceptions.

• Stephanie Tanner : There's this kid in my class, Charles. His father hits him... bad. He really hurts him, Uncle Jesse.

  Jesse Katsopolis : Are you sure, Steph?

  Stephanie Tanner : Positive. He told me all about it. And he wasn't in school today. The teacher said he had another 'accident'.

• Jesse Katsopolis : Listen, I realize how hard this was for you. But the bottom line is, thanks to you, thanks to Stephanie, Charles' father can't hurt him tonight.

  Stephanie Tanner : What made his father so mean?

  Jesse Katsopolis : I don't know. I look at you girls, and I look at Nicky and Alex. How can anyone hurt their child?
