Quotes

T.K.: "Boy, that jerk really left the Digital World in a big mess, didn't he?"
Davis: "Hey, listen, it's not my fault. I'm doing the best I can."
T.K.: "I meant Ken, not you, Davis."

— Davis misunderstands T.K. as they continue to help rebuild the DigiWorld.

Davis: "Some teachers are just nitpickers about such little things."
Yolei: "What was it this time?"
Davis: "I was accidentally playing soccer indoors, and somehow a window broke. Boy, Mr. Reynolds is sure is a grouch."
Cody: "Not again."
T.K.: "It's the fourth time. But hey, who's counting, right?"
Kari: "Really?"
Davis: "Huh? I thought it was at least six!"

— Davis' excuse for being late is no surprise to the DigiDestined.

Davis: "They're a major pain!"
Kari: "Aw, they're cute."
Davis: "Oh, they're so sweet."
Veemon: "That's not what you said a second ago."

—Veemon calls Davis out on his sudden change of mind about the Punimon.

"WHY CAN'T I DIGIVOLVE?! TELL ME WHY! Okay, I'm done."

— Veemon's failure to digivolve causes him to do a very good imitation of Mimi.

"I thought the Control Spires had been knocked out of commission when Ken left, but this makes me think they just might be active again."

— T.K. comes to a logical conclusion as to why the Digimon suddenly can't digivolve.

"Ken's back?! And Wormmon can digivolve?!"

— T.K. says what everyone's thinking.

Ken: "Are you all right, Wormmon?"
Wormmon: "Well, I've been better. I let her get away."
Ken: "Don't worry, my friend. We'll have another chance."
Wormmon: "You're right, Ken. Next time, I won't miss."

— Ken and Wormmon discuss their reason for being in the DigiWorld.

Other notes

Continuity errors

In the English dub, the exact same product that Cody's grandfather now calls liquid yogurt was previously called prune juice in the episode Old Reliable.

Gatomon attempts to digivolve into Angewomon in this episode, although the digimon lost the ability to digivolve into their ultimate forms between seasons 1 and 2.

Dubbing changes

The town that the group are rebuilding is labelled as Primary Village in the English dub, whilst in the original episode, the town's name isn't given at all.
The product Cody's grandfather had in the original version was "chu jelly".

Real-world references

The episode title is a variation on the title of the folk song, If I Had a Hammer.

Miscellaneous trivia

Cody announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
Upamon is be able to use chopsticks despite not having hands.

+A woman is standing on an apartment building, spying on Ken. Ken is eating dinner with his parents. Ken goes to sleep with Minomon when his computer turns on and the woman enters his room through it. She says that he wasted his potential as the digimon emperor. In the digital world the digidestined are repairing Primary Village. They start to wonder what Ken is up to now. They don�t think that he will return to the digital world. Cody says that he can never forgive him. They return to the real world and Cody goes off to Kendo practice. After practice his grandfather gives him liquid yogurt packages and advice. The next day they are all in the computer lab. They return to Primary Village. The Punimon there want to play with them. Veemon tries to digivolve but can�t. He tries again and fails again. Kari and TK leave the village while the others rebuild it. Gatomon and Patamon try to digivolve but can�t. They think that the control spires are still active.
+Davis and Veemon are given the job of looking after the Punimon while the others rebuild. Davis teaches them soccer. Cody and Digmon are getting back to work when Thundermon attacks. There is an explosion and Digmon dedigivolves to Armadillomon. With Cody in danger Armadillomon is able to digivolve to champion, Ankylomon. He knocks Thundermon down and they go above ground. Thundermon attacks Cody again but Stingmon saves him. The other digidestined arrive to see Stingmon delete Thundermon. Ken arrives and Stingmon dedigivolves to Wormmon. They see the other digidestined and leave. They go back to playing soccer when they notice that the control spire in the area is gone.
