03x10 - A Girl and Her Dog

[bunniefuu]

Hello?

Hello?

Come On, Peter.

I Think He Likes It Here.

Me, Too.

Maybe He's Hungry.
Let's Feed Him.

Okay.

What Do Dogs Eat?

Bologna.

Good. We Have That.

( Ring )

( Ring )

Huxtable Residence.

I Hear Your Wife Is Away In
Washington, D.C. For A Few Days.

That's Right.

Who's This?

This Is Your Secret Admirer.

Lola!

How Are The Children?

Fine. We're All Coming Down
This Weekend To Root For You.

I Can't Wait To See You.

The Conference Is Great.

Good.

Everything Okay?

Fine.

Is Theo

Wearing His Heavy Coat?

Every Time It's Cold.

Rudy's Not Wearing The Same
Underwear Every Day, Is She?

No.

Is Vanessa Sneaking Into
My Makeup?

Yes... No, I Mean No.

He Likes Bologna.

Yeah.

Let's Brush Him.

Okay.

You Hold Him.

My Mom Uses This
For Spaghetti.

Hi.

Hi.

What's Up?

You Told Me Once
That Choosing One Thing

Sometimes Means
Turning Down Something Else.

Yes.

I Had To Make A Choice

So I Can't Go To
Washington This Weekend.

Really?

Rebecca Sinclair Is
Having A Party Saturday

And It Would Be Better
If I Went There Instead

But I'll Think About
You All While You're Gone.

Would You Bring Me A T-Shirt
From The Museum?

Thank You, Dad.

Vanessa?

Come Here, Please.

Yes?

You're Going To Washington.

But Dad...

You're Not Going To Any Party.

This Isn't Just Any Party.

It's The Party Of The Year.

It's An Honor To Be Invited.

Dad,
Please.

Don't Do This To Me.

Do What?

Do You Think This Is
Some Kind Of Punishment?

Anyone Who's Not At This Party

Won't Be Considered
Cool Anymore.

Not Necessarily.

They Might Say
"Vanessa Huxtable Is So Cool

She Didn't Even
Show Up For The Party."

They're Not Going To Say That.

How About
"Vanessa Is So Cool

She Went To Washington
To Hear Her Mother Speak."

They Won't Say That, Either.

Or They May Say, "Vanessa
Huxtable's Father Was So Cool

He Didn't Care About The Party."

I Guess
I'm Going To Washington.

He's Beautiful.

Yeah.

Where Did This Dog Come From?

We Came Home From Peter's House,
And He Followed Us.

You Shouldn't Play
With Stray Dogs.

But He Was Friendly.

He Does Look
Pretty Healthy.

I Told Him He
Could Live With Me.

Has Dad Seen
This Dog Yet?

No.

When Dad Sees Him,
He's Out Of Here.

I Want To Keep Him.

We Can't Keep A Dog.

But I Love Him.

Peter Does, Too.

Maybe You Can Keep Him.

Really?

Dad Has A Soft Spot
For Dogs.

Whenever We're Out And He
Sees One, He'll Whistle And Say

"How You Doing? Taking
Your Owner Out For A Walk?"

He Thinks
That's A Funny Joke.

If He Sees One
That He Really Likes

He'll Run Alongside It
And Start Barking.

I'll Ask Dad Now.

No. Dad Likes Dogs
That Are Cute.

He's Cute.
We Just Brushed Him.

Oh, Rudy. Look!

What Did You
Feed Him?

Bologna.

Big Mistake!

Cliff:
Theo!

Get Downstairs
In The Basement.

Theo?

Yeah, Dad.

Are You
Home?

Where
Are You?

In The Kitchen, Dad.

I Put The Dog In The Basement.

Quiet. Dad's Coming.

(♪ Humming ♪)

Hey, Petey-Wetey
And Tutti-Frutti.

Okay...

Hmm.

You Smell Something?

No.

No.

No.

Can I See The Bottom
Of Your Shoes?

Sure.

Step Aside, Please.

Huh?

Step Aside.

Step Aside.

Who Put This In Here?

Well, Dad...

( Barking )

Peter And Rudy Found
Him Across The Street.

He Has No Tags,
But He Is Healthy.

I Checked Him Myself.

You Gave Him A Full Exam?

Not A Full Exam.

Can I Keep Him?

This Dog Belongs To Someone

Who's Probably Missing It
Right Now.

But I Love Him.
Can I Keep Him?

Please, Please,
Please, Please?

Let's Have A Meeting
In The Living Room.

Okay?

You And Peter.
In The Living Room.

Yay!

Do Me A Favor,
Please.

Will You Look
After The Dog?

And Take That
Stuff Outside

And Then Get A Mop
And Some Ammonia

And Do Some Strong Mopping.

Sure.

Now, Let's Discuss This Dog.

Can We Keep Him?
Please?

If You Were Lost

Wouldn't You Want Somebody
To Bring You Home?

I Guess.

I Know A Place

That Helps
Dogs Find Their Owners.

It's Called
Love-A-Lot Foundation.

You Mean Dog Jail.

It's Not A Dog Jail.

You Don't See Dogs
Raking Tin Cups Across The Bars.

This Place Has Sunshine,
Fresh Air

Plenty Of Space
For The Dog To Run

And Nutritious Food.

Let's
Keep Him

Until We Find The Owners.

Who Is Going
To Feed The Dog...

Clean Up After
The Dog Makes A Mess...

Wash The Dog?

I Will, And Peter Will Help.
Right?

Yes.

No, You Won't.

Yes, We Will.
Yes, We Will.

No, You Won't.

Yes, We Will.
Yes, We Will.

Raise Your Right Hands.

You Promise

I Promise
I Promise

To Feed The Dog

I Now Pronounce You

The Proud Looker-Afters
Of A Dog

Until We Leave
For Washington, D.C.

Or Until Its Owners
Call For It.

Yay!
Yay!

You're The Best Dad
In The Whole World.

Yeah, I Know.

( Raspberries )

You Have To
Kiss Him, Too.

( Raspberries )

Hi, Pud.

Hi, Dad.

Vanessa,
You're Wearing Your Robe.

I Know.

It's : In The Afternoon.

When I Came Home From School

It Was The Only Thing
I Felt Like Wearing.

Really?

When The Kids Heard
I Wasn't Going To The Party

They Treated Me
Like An Outcast.

I'm Sorry.

Do You Think
You Could Reconsider?

I Could Stay Here
And Babysit The Dog.

The Dog Won't Be Here
By The Weekend.

If We're All Gone,
The House Will Be Empty.

Aren't You Worried About That?

You Think I'd Feel Safer
With You In It?

Oh, Yes.

So I'm Going To Washington?

Yes.

Are You Going To Be All Right?

Oh... I Hope So.

Empty.

You People Are Not
Taking Care Of This Dog!

Hey, Dad.

It's In The Paper--

"Lost And Found" Section.

All Right,
Let Me Hear It.

"Found: One Brown And White
Combination Terrier-Sheep Dog.

Heartbroken.
Misses His Owner Terribly."

I Put That In Special.

Is The Phone Number In There?

Yeah.

Good.

Yesterday I Posted Signs On
The Telephone Poles Around Here.

We Haven't Heard Anything.

We May Never Find The Owner.

It's Only The Second Day.
Have Patience.

Yeah, Right.

Son?

Yeah?

( Squeaking )

I Don't Recall This
Being On The List.

It Was On Sale.

What Is This For?
Your Teeth And Breath?

Where Are You Going?

Outside To Play.

Where's The Dog?

Downstairs In The Basement.

Aren't You Supposed To
Walk The Dog?

Or Are You Hoping
He'll Just Join You?

I Walked Him.

When?

This Morning.

You're Supposed To Walk Him

Before You Go To School
And After You Come Home.

I Forgot.

To Put Food And Water
In The Dishes.

You Forgot That, Too?

I Guess.

Did You Forget
Your Promises, Too?

No. Come On, Peter.

Let's Go Feed
And Walk The Dog.

It's Not
My Dog.

You Promised
To Help.

( Sigh )

( Sigh )

Peter,
Go Get The Dog.

Oh, No, Rudy. Look.

Oh, No.
He Did It Again.

We'll Have To Clean This Up.

Dad, You've Got To
Do Something About Vanessa.

She's Upstairs
Sobbing On Her Pillow.

Yeah, She's Been A Little Down.

"A Little Down"?!

I've Never Seen Anyone
So Depressed.

I Asked
If I Could Borrow A Pencil.

She Said, "Pencil?
Who Cares About Pencils?

Who Cares About Anything?"

We Cannot Bring Her
To Washington.

She'll Ruin The Whole Trip.

She's Going To D.C.
She'll Snap Out Of It.

What If She Doesn't?

People From Other Countries
Will Be In The Capitol.

They'll See Vanessa

And Get The Wrong Impression
Of America.

( Ring )

Huxtable Residence.

Yes, We Placed The Ad.

He Looks Something Like That,
But I Doubt He's Your Dog.

I Just Don't Think
He's Your Dog.

Hello?

Yes, This Is The Parent Of
The Person You Just Talked To.

Yes, Sir.

Yes.

That Is Correct.

Okay, I'll Give It A Try.

Squeakers!

Yes.

Hi, Rudy.

Hi, Squeakers.

How's Everything
Going?

Not Too Good.

He's Very Sad
Because He's Leaving.

He's Sad?

I'm Sure The Person
Who Called About Him Misses Him.

Just Like I Will.

Yes, You'll Miss Him

But When He Gets Home

I'll Bet
He'll Tell His Dog Friends...

( Imitating Talking Dog )

I Was With Rudy Huxtable.

She Let Me Eat When I Want

And I Went In Her Kitchen
And In Her Yard

And She Cried When I Left.

I Know
Somebody Loves Me.

Can I Feed Him
Before He Leaves?

Sure, And I'll
Write Up His Bill.

Vanessa?

Huh?

You Dropped The Papers.

I Know.

You Picking Them Up?

I'll Get To It, Dad.

Just Got To Rest A Minute.

Vanessa?

Yes, Dad?

I Don't Want You

To Mistake
My Calmness For Patience.

Dad...

No, Sit Down.

Let Me Finish.

For Two Days, I've Watched You
Sulk And Mope

And Walk Around Here
Acting Very, Very Sad

And I Let You Do That

Because If You Want To Be Sad,
Okay.

But Now, You're
Depressing Me.

If You're Sad,
Go To Your Room.

Put On Sad Music
And Sad Clothes.

Dance Around The Room Sad.

Have A Sad Fest.

Yes, Dad.

Tomorrow Is Another Day.

You'll Wake Up With A Smile.

You'll Put On
Your Smiling Clothes.

You'll Play Smiling Music.

You'll Have A Smile Fest

Because You're Going
To Washington, D.C.

And You're Going To Smile
So Brightly

That The People From

As Your Brother Says,
"All Nations"

Will Look At You And Say:

"My, What A Wonderful Example
Of An American Teenager."

Do You Understand?

Now I Want You To
Pick These Papers Up.

That's Much Better.

Thank You.

( Exhausted Sigh )

( Doorbell )

Oh..!

Hi.

Doctor Huxtable?

Please, Come In.

Thank You.

You're
The Chavezes.

I'm Tony.

This Is My Wife Marta
And Our Daughter Nina.

Hi.

We Brought You Something

From Our Orchard In Bedford.

Thank You So Much.

I'll Get The Dog.

Rudy!

Squeakers!

Thanks For Taking Care
Of Him For Us.

We Didn't Do That Much.

Bedford--
That's Miles From Here.

He Must Have Gotten On
One Of Our Delivery Trucks.

Rudy, You Should
Visit Sometime.

We Could Play
With Squeakers.

I'd Like That.

Nina,
We Have To Go.

Wait. Can I Say Good-Bye
To Squeakers?

Sure.

Good-Bye, Squeakers.

I'm Going To Miss You.

Thank You
Very Much.

You're Welcome.

Take Care.

Bye-Bye.
Bye, Rudy.

Cliff:
Bye, Squeakers.

Bye.

Hello.

Hello.

What's The Matter?

Daddy?

I'm Sad.

Why?

I Miss Squeakers.

You Have A Dog.

Who?

You Have

A Daddy Dog.

( Imitating Dog Barking )

Lord...

I've Been With My Children Now
For Four Days Alone...

And I Don't Think I'm Going
To Make It Much Longer.

I Want My Wife Back.

Now...

I Know That There Are People

Who Ask For Bigger Things
Than This...

But I Need My Wife

So If You Can,
Please Send Her To Me.

( Knocking )

Clair?

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Pud.

I Miss Squeakers.

I Miss Squeakers, Too.

Maybe When You're Older

Your Mother And I
Will Have A Little Meeting

And Get You A Dog
Just Like Squeakers.

I Don't Want One.

You Don't?

They're Too Much Work.

Well, If That's The Way
You See It...

Can I Sleep On
Mommy's Side Of The Bed?

Yes.

Thanks.

Hi.

Come In.

Dad, I'm Sorry About
The Way I've Acted.

So Am I, But It's Okay.

I'm Really Looking Forward
To Seeing Mom

And Being With Everyone
In Washington.

I Promise I'll
Have A Good Time.

Want To Get In?

If It's Okay With Dad.

Yeah, It's Okay.

Okay. Good.

What's Going On?

We're Keeping
Daddy Company.

Yes, We Are.

Get Into Bed.

Rudy, I'm Too Old For That.

You Could Watch Tv.

I Think Wrestling's On.

Ooh...
Baron Von Crusher.

I Like
His Hat.

This Match Will Be Over
In A Second.

Yeah.

I Think I Understand.

I Don't Have My Wife...

But I Don't Have A Dog.
