Theo, How You Feeling?
I Still Have The Cold
But Nothing Will Stop Me
From Going To The Prom.
I Went To The Tuxedo Shop
I Said To Myself,
"Money Is No Object.
I'm Going To Get Something
To Make Justine Go Wild!"
Looks Like I'm Going To Have
To Upgrade My Tuxedo.
Smitty, Come Here.
Just A Second.
Be Right With You.
How About I Pick
You Up Around : ?
Great, I'll Be Waiting.
When You See This
You Will Want To Kiss Me, Too--
But Don't.
We're Getting To The Prom
In Our Own Limousine.
How Did You Score That?
My Cousin Is The Limo King
Of Forest Hills.
This Is His Top Chariot.
Quadraphonic Stereo,
A Moon Roof
A Television,
Complimentary Nuts
And We Get The Family Discount!
How Much?
Regularly $ An Hour
For Us, $ . , Tip Included.
With Our Parents Chipping In,
We Could Make It.
Smitty, Justine Will
Hate You For This.
Once She Spends An Evening
In This Limousine With Us
The Rest Of Her Life
Is Downhill!
What's Up?
Oh, Gordo.
How Are You Getting To The Prom?
I Hired A Car.
You Can Say
We Hired A Car, Too.
Check This Out.
Not Bad.
"Not Bad"?
When Our Car Pulls Up
Next To Yours
Your Date Is Going To Jump Out
And Dive Through Our Moon Roof.
I Wouldn't Count On That, Guys.
Because Darlene And I
Are Going To The Prom
In This.
You Guys Just Got
The Standard Limousine.
I've Got The Olympiad
Ultra-Stretch.
It's Nine Feet Longer.
Not To Mention Fully Equipped
With Large Screen Tv, Vcr
Cd Stereo Player
And A Complimentary Basket
Of Tropical Fruit.
See You Guys Later.
Do We Have Any
Of Those Things?
No, But We Can Stop At
The Market For The Fruit.
Gordon Is Going
To Make Us Look Bad.
We May Be Going
To The Prom Solo.
We've Got To Find
Something To Top Gordon.
How About This?
We Take The Limo To Central Park
And Hire
A Carriage To Take Us
To The Prom?
No Good.
Neil Dugan Did That Last Year.
Disaster.
His Date Smelled Like A Horse
All Night.
What Are We Going To Do?
Wait A Minute.
Of Course, I Got It.
What?
This Is Good.
It's Never Been Done
In The History Of Proms.
Don't Leave Us Hanging.
We Arrive At The Prom
In A Helicopter.
A Helicopter?
I Love It.
You're A Genius.
I Know.
Let's Do It.
All Right.
Theo Showed Me
A Picture Of The Limousine
He's Taking.
It Has Tinted Windows
So You Can't See Inside.
If I Was In A Limousine,
I'd Want Everybody To See Me.
Did Dad Take You In A Limousine?
I Didn't Go To My Prom.
Why Not?
Your Father Was At School
Taking Final Exams
So He Couldn't Come.
Why Didn't You Take
Someone Else?
Nobody Should Miss Their Prom.
I Didn't Want To Take
Someone Else.
Your Father And I Were In Love.
So On Your Prom Night
You Sat All Alone
And Cried Your Head Off?
No, I Talked To Your Dad
On The Phone
And Went To A Movie.
Did You Cry Your Head Off
At The Movie?
No.
Compared To Some Girls I Knew,
I Had It Very Good.
One Girl Named Cissy Logan,
Her Father Was Very Strict.
He Made Her Go To The Prom
With Him.
If She Danced With A Boy, He
Stood Next To Them And Watched.
Compared To Cissy,
I Had It Very Good.
Rudy, Mom's Holding Back On Us.
About What?
About Being Happy
On Her Prom Night.
She Was Miserable.
She's Just Not Telling Us.
How Do You Know?
Because That's What Parents Do.
They Hide Their Feelings Inside
To Protect Their Children.
In Reality, Our Mom Has
Been Unhappy About This
For Years.
Poor Mom.
Hey!
What's The Matter With You?
Dad, How Could You Let Our Mom
Be Miserable For Years?
I Don't Understand What
You're Talking About.
You Never Took Her
To Her Senior Prom.
Oh.
Listen, I Was Taking
Final Exams.
You Could Have Come Back.
No, I Couldn't Have.
These Exams Were Very Important.
I Wouldn't Have Married You.
Clair!
Listen, Your Mother
And I Had An Understanding.
She Has Never Showed Me
That This Bothered Her.
She Has Been Keeping It Inside
For Years.
Dad, You Did Mom Wrong.
It's Time You Did
Something About It.
You Should Take Her
To Theo's Prom.
No, Theo Would Be Miserable
The Rest Of His Life.
I Know.
We Should Throw A Prom For Mom.
What?
Yeah, Right Here
In Our Own Living Room.
Are You Guys Serious?
Yeah!
Yeah!
Your Mother Didn't Suggest This?
No.
No.
Sounds Like A Good Idea.
Yes, We'd Like To Take
The Private Helicopter
To The Eastside Heliport.
Then We'd Like To Swing South
And Circle The Statue Of Liberty
A Few Times Before We Land.
Also, Is There A Parking
Space For Our Limousine?
Okay, Great.
One More Thing.
Do You Have Complimentary
Mixed Nuts?
Guys, The Nuts Are Extra.
Go For It.
We'll Take The Nuts.
How Much Is All This
Going To Cost?
Sure, I'll Hold.
He's Figuring It Out.
I Can't Believe This
Is Going To Happen.
Roxanne Flipped
When She Heard.
Before, She Wouldn't
Talk To Me.
Today, She Waited
At My Locker.
You Should Have Seen
Gordon's Face When I Told Him.
He Might Never Recover.
All Right.
Yes, I'm Here.
Okay...
Yeah?
Okay, Great.
Book It.
Thanks.
Gentlemen
We Have Ourselves A Helicopter.
All Right.
How Much?
Well, Rental Of The Helicopter
And Pilot: $ .
Fuel Is Another $ .
And There's A $ Surcharge
Per Passenger.
That Comes To...
More Than $ .
How Much Are The Nuts?
We Can't Pay For That.
When I Tell Roxanne There's
No Helicopter, She Will Plotz.
We Can't Give Up.
There's Got To Be A Way
We Can Pull This Off.
Hey, Hey.
Hey, Fellas.
Look At That.
What?
There's An Ad For
Helicopter Lessons.
$ An Hour.
I'll Take The Lessons.
Theo, What About Us?
You Guys Don't Get It.
When I Go Up For My Lesson
I'll Say I Have Five Friends
To Take Into The City.
Will That Work?
We'll Be Stepping
Out Of Limousines
Dressed In Tuxedoes.
How Can They Say "No" To Us?
You're Right.
We're In.
Can I Say Something?
Why Be Satisfied With
A Helicopter And A Limo?
Let's Think Of Something
To Put Gordon Away.
Yeah, Something The Ladies
Will Really Like.
Roxanne Told Me
She Likes Caviar.
Perfect.
You Know What Goes
Good With Caviar?
A Nice, Imported Salami.
Hey, There You Go.
Dad!
Hey, I'm Down Here!
Dad, I Need Your Help.
Whoo, Look Out Now.
Doctor Do-It!
Thanks.
Looking Beautiful.
What's Happening?
I Put Everything On
That Came In The Box
But I Don't Know What To Do
With These.
These Are Garters
For Your Socks.
Actually, In The Old Days
Before They Put Rubber
In The Socks
You Put Them On
And After You Took
Three Steps
The Socks Would Go
For Themselves.
So They Wind Up
Down Around Your Ankles
And Your Pants
Were Up Like This
And People See The Ash
All Up In Here.
So You Don't
Need These Now.
But I Want To Put Them On.
Then Go For It.
This Is
A Pretty Exciting Night
For You, Isn't It?
It Might Be One
I'll Write About.
And You Get To Stay Out
As Late As You Want.
I Got A Lot Of Sleep Last Night.
Just Because You Have Permission
To Stay Out Late
Doesn't Mean You Have Permission
Todo Everything You Want.
Dad, I Won't Be Doing Anything
At My Prom Tonight
That You Won't Be Doing
At Yours.
Don't Forget.
I'm Married To My Prom Date.
Got You, Dad.
Hey, Everybody!
Hello.
Looking Good!
Looking Good!
Not Bad Yourself,
Huxtable.
Who Are These
Lovely People?
This Is Denny.
These Are Our Dates,
Sylvia, Roxanne And Justine.
I Want To Take
Your Picture.
Move To This Side
Of The Room.
Denny:
You're Taking A Picture
Of The People
Who May Go Down
In History
As The Greatest Prom-Goers
Of All Time.
You And Your Friend
Move Closer.
I'll Make Sure
It's Focused.
What Are You Doing?
I'm Helping.
Can You Wait
One Second?
Just Go Down
Right There.
Go A Little
Further Down.
Okay, Take It.
Say, "Party 'Til You Drop."
Party 'Til You Drop.
( Doorbell )
One More.
I'm Mike,
The Limousine Driver.
How Are You?
I Hope I'm Not Disturbing You
But I Like To Meet The Parents.
Thank You.
As A Parent, I Know What
It's Like To Wait And Worry.
Yeah.
Here's My Car's
Phone Number.
Look It Over.
Oh, No, No.
Have A Sit-Down.
Theo, Do We Have Time
To Freshen Up?
Of Course.
There's A Bathroom
Down The Hall.
Thank You.
While We're Waiting,
Can I Get Something To Drink?
There's Ginger Ale
In The Limo.
Yeah, I Know.
But I Want A Drink Now.
Come With Me.
Guys, We Got To Talk.
What's Up?
It's The Caviar.
Did You Get It?
Yeah.
Let's See It.
That's It?
Where's The Rest
Of It?
This Is It.
This Cost Me $ .
We'll Use Small Forks
To Make It Look Like More.
Thanks For
The Water, Theo.
No Problem.
We're Ready To Go.
Ladies And
Gentlemen
Your Chariot Awaits!
All Right!
Mom, Dad,
See You Later.
Bye-Bye!
Good Night.
Have A Good Time.
Well, There's Another Child
Off To The Prom.
Yeah, And I Have
Something For You.
A Little Surprise For You.
Ha-Ha!
Read That, Please.
"Crestview High, Class Of '
"Presents The Starlight Memories
Senior Prom.
"Date: Today.
Time: Tonight.
"Place: The Papaya Ballroom
Of The Hotel Huxtable."
If You Please.
It's My "Sweet Sixteen" Dress!
That's Right.
Oh!
I Can't Get Into This.
Yes, You Can.
I Gave The Tailor
The Measurements.
I Did Mine Also.
We're A Little Broader.
We're Going To The Prom?
Please Hit Your Room.
I'll Change In My Office.
Well, Hello.
Is This The Papaya Room
Of The Hotel Huxtable?
Yes, It Is.
Please, Do Come In, Miss Hanks.
We're Your
Chaperones.
I Am Your Math Teacher,
Mrs. Doorwood.
And I Am Your English Teacher,
Miss Hall.
It's Nice
To See You Again.
Please, Do Join Us.
You Seem To Have
Come Without A Date.
I Had One, But I
Can't Seem To Find Him.
Lucky For You, There's
A Young Man Here Without A Date.
Oh, Young Man! Young Man!
Clair, May I Present
Heathcliff Huxtable.
He's A Junior
At Hillman College.
He Plays Football
And Runs Track.
He Wants
To Be A Doctor.
( Whispering: )
But I Don't Think
He'll Make It.
Heathcliff,
This Is Clair Hanks.
She's A Senior
And Gets Straight A's.
We Think She'll Have
Lovely Children Someday.
Hello, Heathcliff.
Hi, Clair.
Please.
Miss Hall, It's Time
For The Prom Committee
To Retire Upstairs.
No. The Prom Just Got Started.
I Think These Youngsters
Would Like To Be Alone.
But We're Their Chaperones.
We Have To Make Sure
That They Don't Smooch.
Heathcliff, I Notice That
You Have A Corsage For Me.
Oh, Yes, I Do.
Aren't You Going To Pin It On?
I Thought You'd Never Ask.
Oh, Boy!
Please, Let Me.
Thank You.
(Laughing )
Okay.
Are They Fine?
Okay.
Are You Sure They're
On Their Way Here, Mike?
I'm Not Upset With You.
Okay, Fine.
What Are You Laughing At?
Your Son.
Is He All Right?
Yes, He's
All Right.
Your Son Rented A Helicopter.
Theo Gets In It
The Thing Starts Up
And Blows All Their Hair...
The Guys Just Stand There.
Theo Flies Around And Takes
His Half-Hour Lesson.
He Lands, They Get In The Car.
The Girls' Hair Is Full
Of Dirt And Everything.
So Theo Says
"Let's Have Some Caviar."
They Don't Have Any Crackers.
Smitty Says,
"Caviar Is Expensive
And It Should Stand Alone."
They Open The Thing Up,
They Have Two Little Hits.
Your Son-- Not Mine--
Throws Up In The Car.
Oh, No!
My Man Mike Wants $
For A Clean-Up Fee.
They Get To School
Everybody's Leaving The Prom.
The Girls Haven't Danced,
They Haven't Done Anything
And They're
On Their Way Here Now.
These Girls Arewarm!
How's Everything Going?
Would You
Like To Stay?
We'll Have
Our Prom Here.
I Sat At The Hairdresser
For Four Hours
And My Parents Paid
A Lot For This Dress.
We're Going To Enrico's.
But We Don't
Have Money.
Well, We Know That.
My Father
Gave Me Some.
My Father
Gave Me Some, Too.
Cliff:
Could You All
Hold One Second?
Come Here, Hometown.
Let Me Talk To You.
Wait
One Second.
Mike Told Me
What Happened.
I'm Making Out On My Date
Better Than You.
This Might Go Down
As The Worst Prom In History.
Yeah, Okay,
Let Me Fix This.
Here's The Keys To The Car.
I Want You To Take The Car.
Take The Young Ladies
Wherever They Want To Go.
In The Meantime, What I
Want You To Do Is Take...
This.
And...
If You Can Talk Your Way Into
Taking Them For Something To Eat
That's Up To Whatever
They Want To Do.
Thanks, Dad.
Thanks, Dad!
All Right.
Work Hard.
Fellas, Fellas,
We've Got A New Life Here.
Got The Keys To The Good Car,
Got A Pocket Full Of Money.
Let's Go.
Please!
I Have A Lot Of Things
Inside Of Me
That I Want To Say To You
But I Cannot Say Them
In This House.
Thank You, And Good Night,
Dr. And Mrs. Huxtable.
I've Been Here Before.
