02x14 - Vanessa's Bad Grade

[bunniefuu]

Oh, Rudy!

Don't Blow Bubbles
With Your Straw.

Okay.

Rudy, Put That
Straw Down

And Drink Your Milk.

Okay, That's Enough.

Breakfast Time Is Over.

Get Upstairs And
Get Ready For School.

Oh...

Daddy, Don't Play
With Your Straw.

How Are You?

Oh, I Don't Know.

When Did You Finish?

Don't Even Talk About It.

That's The Third Time This Week.

You Know What I Think?

I Think That Little Babies

Want To Only Be Born
From : To : A.M.-

Whenever There's A Blizzard

Arctic Winds Are Blowing

And The Temperature's
Below Zero-

'Cause Every Time
I've Pulled One Out

The Baby Looked At Me
And Did Like This.

Maybe We Should Forget
About That Movie Tonight.

No, I'm Fine.

You're Too Tired.

I'm Fine.

You Always Say This,
Then You Fall Asleep.

How About Friday Night?

Let Me See Here.

"Regional Forecast,
Warm And No Babies...

Friday."

Friday It Is.

Mom?

Yeah.

Can We Go Shopping
For A New Sweater?

Vanessa, You Got
Sweaters For Christmas.

But Robert's
Seen Them All.

Why Don't You Wear Them
Inside Out?

This Is For The
School Dance On Friday.

I've Even Got One
Picked Out.

Then Ask Denise
If You Can Borrow Hers.

She Won't Let Me Have It.

If You Ask Her Nicely,
You Might Be Surprised.

All Right,
I'll Try It.

Denise?!

Would You Like To
Bet On This One?

It Could
Happen.

Denise Went Through That
With Sondra.

She Might Be Understanding.

I'll Bet You A Box
Of Popcorn At The Movie-

A Large Jumbo Box.

I Will Take That Bet.

Are You Kidding?!

No Way!

But Denise,
I Asked Nicely.

It's For The School Dance
On Friday.

I Haven't
Even Worn It.

Then Wear It Today.

No!

Bye, Dad.

- Please?!
- No!

I Like It With Butter,
No Salt.

You Slammed
The Door!

I Had No Idea You Were Sleeping.

Yeah.

Just Making Sure It's Closed.

Sit Down.

I Always Say

"Make Sure The
Door Is Closed"

But Somehow You Confuse That
With Sealing It.

It's Not Necessary To Do That.

I Have The Windows
Cracked Like This

So When You Slam It,
The Walls Don't Crash In.

I Love It When
We Study Together.

Me, Too.

I Wish We Had
All Our Classes Together.

Me, Too.

Hey, Robert.

Hey, Theo.

Keep It Quiet.
We're Studying.

We Have A Big History Test
Tomorrow.

I Was Just Getting Some Juice.

Did You Hear Who's Playing
At The Dance Friday?

No.

The Spikes.

Wow! They've Got Saxophones.

Did You Hear Who's Doing
The Decorations?

Who?

What Are You Guys
Studying, Anyway?

The w*r Of .

Vanessa.
.

I Won't Bother You

Because I Know A Lot
Happened In That w*r.

Hi, Robert.
Hi, Vanessa.

Hey,
Denise.

Don't Go Into The Living Room.

I Woke Dad,
And He's Cranky.

Uh, Excuse Me,
We're Studying.

That's Great, But I Told Monica
I'd Call Her.

Call From Upstairs.

Hey, I'm Here.

We Are Studying.

You Know, The Big w*r Of ?

You Can Take A Break
For One Phone Call.

We Cannot
Take A Break.

We Have A Test
To Study For.

Come On, Vanessa.

Okay, We'll Consider
Taking A Break

If You Consider Loaning Me
That Certain Item Of Clothing

I Asked For Earlier.

Why Should I Lend You
Something That's Mine

To Use Something
That's Ours?

Huxtable Residence.

Hi, Janet.
Hold On A Second.

Should I Tell Janet
To Call Back?

We'll Take
A Break.

You Said You Couldn't Take A Break.

It's
For Me.

Don't Give Her
That Phone.

Give Me It.

Theo.

Theo!

I'm Out Of This.

Excuse Me.

Hi, Janet.

When Did You Hear This?

Uh-Uh.

She's Doing This

Because She Found Out
I Was Wearing My Red Skirt.

Thanks A Lot, Theo.

Robert, You Have Any Sisters?

No.

Go Home Tonight
And Thank Your Parents.

This Exercise Class
Is For Cool People-

People Who Don't Need Pain
To Have Gain.

I'll Tell You
What You Can Do

But You Do What You Want.

Just Be Cool About It.

Hi, Daddy.

Are These Your Friends?

Yes, They Wanted To Watch Tv.

They're Trying To Get Fit?

Yes.

They Don't Look Like
They're Into It

So Why Don't You Take Them
Upstairs And Read To Them?

Okay.

All Right.

Let's Stretch That Lower Back.

Raise Your Arms.

If You Want To,
Raise Them High Above Your Head.

If Not, That's Cool.

Now Bend At Your Knees

And Touch Your Palms
To Your Toes.

That's Cool.

You Don't Have To Keep
Your Knees Straight

If You Don't Want To.

Just Remember-

If You Don't Attack Your Heart,
Your Heart Won't Attack You.

Hi, Cliff.
How You Feeling?

I Am Ready To Go To
That Movie Tonight.

Oh.

Not Too Tired?

No, I Got Plenty Of Sleep

And I Just Finished
My Exercises.

It's A
Wonderful Film.

Carla Said It Has Won
Major Awards Throughout Europe.

I'm Not Interested
So Much In The Awards

As I Am In This Jumbo,
Big Box Of Popcorn

That My Wife Is Going
To Buy Me Tonight.

We'll Get You
A Little Stinky Popcorn.

Don't Be Cheap.

Don't Come Back
With The Little Box Thing.

I Want That Tub.

That Tub That They Have

Where You Have To Climb In
And Eat Your Way Out.

That's What I Want.

What's Up,
Vanessa?

Theo, Can I Talk To
You For A Minute?

What's Wrong?

Got My History
Test Back.

And?

Whoa, This Is A D!

I Know.

I've Never Gotten
A D Before.

I've Seen Them,
But Not Next To My Own Name.

And It's In Red.
That's The Worst Kind To Get.

I Don't Know
What Happened, Theo.

Robert And I Studied Hard.

Yeah, I Saw You.

When Should I

Tell Mom And Dad?

The Sooner, The Better.

They Might Not Let Me
Go To The Dance With Robert.

Vanessa, There's A Chance
You May Never Dance Again.

They Can't Get Mad.

This Is Just One Little D.

Vanessa, With Mom And Dad,
There Are No Little D's.

Good Luck.

* Vanessa Got A D. *

Rudy, What Do You Think?

I Like That.

You've Said That
About Everything.

I Like Everything.

Because You Don't Know
How To Dress.

I Know How To Dress Myself.

I Mean When You
Match Clothes

And Look Good.

I Look Good!

No, I Mean When...

Never Mind.

What's This?

Never Mind, Rudy.

Why Does It Have
A Big Red D On It?

Forget About It!

None Of These Sweaters
Are Right.

Denise?

Denise?

Denise?

I Really Had
A Good Time.

I Did, Too.

I Really Liked The Spikes.

I Liked The Spikes, Too.

The Saxophones Were Great.

Um... Well, I Guess
This Is Good Night.

I Guess.

Vanessa!

How Was The Dance?

Um... Good

Yeah, Great.
Good.

Vanessa, We Need
To Talk Now.

Can We Do This Later?

There's A Sweater Missing
From My Closet.

There Is?!

Yeah, The Purple One.

Could You Wait
In The Kitchen?

Okay.

Fix Yourself A Snack.

Okay, Thanks.

He Was Going To Kiss Me.
You Ruined It.

Take Your Coat Off.

I'm Cold.

You're In The House.

I'm Cold In
The House.

You'll Take That
Coat Off Eventually

And I'll Be There.

Take That Coat Off

Or I'm Taking It Off
For You.

All Right. Here.

You Took
My Sweater.

I Didn't Think
You'd Mind.

When You Asked Me,
I Said, "No Way."

I Took
Your Sweater

And I'm Sorry.

You Didn't Have To
Complain In Front Of Robert.

You're Unbelievable!

Are You Fighting?

Yes!
No!

What's The Matter?

That's My Sweater.

I Like It.

Vanessa, I Want That Sweater
Back In My Closet

In One Minute.

And I Mean It.

Tell Me What The Movie
Was About, Please.

No.

Come On,
Tell Me What...

No!

I Couldn't Help It
If I Fell Asleep.

Now, Come On.

All Right, So...

When I Was
Sitting There

And I Had
My Popcorn

Had A Big Soda

I Was Ready- Fired Up.

Now The Thing
Comes On The Screen

And I Don't Know
How Long It Was

That I Watched Two Men
Sitting In A Cafe

Drinking Coffee And
Smoking Cigarettes, Talking:

I Had To Check
The Bottom Of The Screen

To Find Out
What They're Saying.

So, Naturally I Said

"Okay,
Something's Going To Happen."

Then Somebody Came By
With A Bicycle.

What Was It All About?

They Weren't
In The Same Cafe.

It Was A Different Cafe
Than At The Beginning

And A Lot Happened
In Between.

While I Slept?

Yes.

Because There Was Nothing
Going On When I Was Awake.

Okay, What Happened?

I'm Not Telling.

Please Tell Me,
Because When We Were Riding Home

You Said There's
A Lot Of Symbolism...

There Was.

Well, What Was It?

The Bike Symbolized Freedom.
It Was A Vehicle.

Whose
Freedom?

Nobody Rode It.
It Just Kept Going By.

Okay, Cliff.

Two Men...

There Was Philippe,
Who Worked In The Factory.

I Got That.

You Remember His
Best Friend, Jacques?

That Was One Of
The Most Exciting Parts.

And Then?

There Was Jacques.

With The Moustache.

Philippe Had The Moustache.

Okay.

Jacques Was A Poet.

He And Philippe Were In Love
With The Same Woman.

There Was A Woman?

You Didn't See That Woman?

No.

Oh, Cliff,
She Was Gorgeous.

You're Kidding.

Oh, Honey,
Yes, There Was A Woman-

A Gorgeous Woman.

Yes, She Was

And Walked Around
In Flimsy Summer Dresses

And Did Her Face Like This.

Why Didn't You Wake Me Up?

She Wasn't Your Type.

Where Did The Woman Come In?

The Woman Couldn't Decide
Who She Loved.

She Dropped Them Both.

I Would Have, Too.

All They Wanted To Do Was Smoke
Cigarettes And Drink Coffee.

It Was A Beautiful,
Touching Love Story.

And You Missed It.

I Sure Did.

I Missed My
Popcorn, Too.

Because When I Woke Up
From This Depressing Scene

My Popcorn Was Gone,
And So Was My Soda.

I Want To Know
Who Took That?

The Man On The Bike?

Come In.

Denise?

What Do You Want?

I Decided I'm Not
Taking Off This Sweater

Until You Apologize For
Poking Me In The Shoulder.

I'm Not Apologizing.

Okay.

We're Even.

Hey, Wait A Minute.

We Are Not Even.

You're Still
Wearing My Sweater.

Knock It Off,
Denise.

I Don't Have To.

You're Mad Because
This Sweater Looks Better On Me.

Yeah, Right.

Don't Shove Me.

I'll Shove You
Any Time I Want.

Is That Right?

Yeah, That's Right!

Get Off!

Let Me Go, Denise!

Let Go Of My Hair, Vanessa!

No!

What's Going On
In There?

Fight! Fight!

Let Go!

Stop.

Stop It!

Stop!

No, Come On, Stop.

Look, The Two Of You...

Don't!

Stop It!

All Right, That's Enough.

Now Stop.

Denise And Vanessa,
You Better Stop.

Cliff, Are You All Right?

They Took Me Out.

Rudy, Wait In
My Room, Please.

Do I Have To? Yes, You Do.

Now?

Yes, Now.

I Want To Know
What's Going On.

She Went...
I Told Her...

Wait A
Minute.

Denise, Go First.

Why Does She
Go First?

Because I Said So.

She Took
The Sweater-

The One I Said
She Couldn't Have.

Stop!

Stop It.

Vanessa, Is
This True?

Well...

Before You Start To Say No

Let Me Remind You That
You're Wearing The Evidence.

Oh, Yeah.

Mom, She Shoved Me.

She Took My Sweater.

We Have Rules Here.

We Don't Take
Each Other's Things

And We Don't
Attack Each Other.

Denise, You May Not Drive
Your Car For Two Days.

But Mom...

Vanessa, You Can't Use
The Telephone For Two Days.

Give The Sweater Back.

And You Will Wear
The Same Clothes

For Two Days In A Row.

Oh, Come On, Dad.

Vanessa, Give Your
Sister Her Sweater Back.

Stop!

Give It
Back Nicely.

I'm Sorry,
Denise.

You Have To Get It Cleaned.

Pay For The Cleaning
With Your Allowance.

Yes, Mom.

This Is My Shirt.

I Borrowed It.

I Forgot To Give It Back.

You Also Forgot To Ask Me
If You Could Borrow It.

I'm Sorry.

And This Is My Belt.

You Never Wear It.

I Never Wear It Because
It's Never In My Room.

Clair, You Better
Come And Take A Look In Here

And See If...

Oh, No.

I'm Just Going To Trust

That Anything
In That Closet

That Belongs In My Closet

Will Be Returned This Evening.

Vanessa, I'd Like To Speak
With You In Your Room, Please.

And I Want Whatever Belongs
To Me In My Closet-

Just Like Your Mother's.

Dad...

Just Checking.

Vanessa, What Has
Gotten Into You?

What Do You Mean?

I Have Never Seen
You Behave Like This.

Denise And I Have
Fought Over Clothes Before.

Yeah, But Not
To The Death.

But I Had To Have That Sweater.

Why?

Lucille Turner Called Janet

And Said She Was Wearing
Her Red Skirt To The Dance.

That Meant I Couldn't
Wear My Red Skirt.

I Had To Wear My Green Pants.

I Couldn't Wear My Blue Sweater

And Denise's Sweater
Would Go With This Outfit.

And Mom, Robert Loves Me
In That Sweater.

I Understand Your Wanting
To Look Good For Robert

But When You Take Something

Your Sister Specifically
Told You Not To-

That's Wrong.

It Will Not Happen Again.

Good.

Wait A Minute.

Are These My Socks?

I Got Those From Sondra.

Mom, Dad...

I Have To Show You Something.

What? My Tuxedo?

Vanessa,
This Is A D.

I Don't Understand It.

Robert And I Studied
Very Hard For That Test.

You And Robert?

Yeah.

We Have To
Call Robert.

He's In The Kitchen.

What Is He Doing
In The Kitchen?

I Asked Him To Wait.

Hello, Robert.

Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

How Are You?

Vanessa Said
To Have A Snack.

Sit Down,
Vanessa.

I Want To Ask You
A Question.

It Might Be Personal

But I Would Appreciate
An Honest Answer.

What Grade Did You Get
On This Last History Test?

A D+.

I'd Like To Talk To
Both Of You About Studying.

Dad, Robert And I
Studied A Lot.

Studied
A Lot.

I See You There
With The Books Open

And You're Sitting Together.

Once In A While,
You Turn The Page

And Write Little Names-

"Robert."

And Then You Write "Vanessa."

You Turn
The Page

Then You Touch Hands And
Look At Each Other Like This.

Then You Look Around.

Then You
Touch Again.

What Is This You're
Talking About Studying?

What You're Doing
Is Socializing.

I Would Love To Spend All Day
Gazing Into My Husband's Eyes.

I Can't,
Because We Have To Work.

We Have Bills To Pay
And Allowances To Give Out.

So If You
Don't Mind

I'd Like You Two

To Take A Break From
Studying Together For A While.

Oh, Dad, Please,
I Promise I'll Do Better.

Sure You Will.

Vanessa And I Have A Test
Coming Up Next Week.

If You Could Just
Give Us One More Chance

I Know We Could Do
Much, Much Better.

Please?

No.

That's Okay.

My Mom Saw My Grade And Grounded
Me For The Next Three Days.

Okay.

So After You Come Off
Of Your Groundation

Then It's Up To The Two Of You

To See If You Can Prove To Us
That You Can Study Together.

Is That All Right?

I Know We Can.

Vanessa And I Are Like
A Pencil And Eraser-

Together, It's Right.

What Are We?
The Pen And The Ink?

Robert, Vanessa And I
Will Take You Home.

Thanks,
Mrs. Huxtable.

Hey.

How You Doing?

The Pen And The Eraser Are
Taking The Pencil Home.

Huh?

Rudy, What Are You...

From The Prodigious Hilltops
Of New Hampshire

Let Freedom Ring.

From The Mighty Mountains
Of New York...

Let Freedom Ring

From The Heightening
Alleghenies Of Pennsylvania.

Let Freedom Ring

From The Snow-Capped Rockies
Of Colorado.

Let Freedom Ring

From The Curvaceous Slopes
Of California.

But Not Only That,
Let Freedom Ring

From Stone Mountain Of Georgia.

Let Freedom Ring

From Lookout Mountain
Of Tennessee.

Let Freedom Ring

From Every Hill And Molehill
Of Mississippi-

From Every Mountainside.

Let Freedom Ring

And When This Happens...

And When We Allow
Freedom Ring...

When We Let It Ring From
Every Village And Every Hamlet

From Every State And Every City

We Will Be Able
To Speed Up That Day

When All Of God's Children-

Black Men And White Men

Jews And Gentiles,
Protestants And Catholics-

Will Be Able To Join Hands

And Sing In The Words
Of The Old n*gro Spiritual:

"Free At Last. Free At Last.

Thank God Almighty,
We're Free At Last."
