Bob denies this, then accidentally hammers his finger (twice). After applying some bandages to his sore fingers, he manages to hit the nail successfully the next time. Bob exudes some overconfidence of his work before dropping the hammer onto his foot and slamming against one of the wooden boards. "Band-Aid?" a worried Big Bird asks. |
