05x05 - Out of Brooklyn

[bunniefuu]

Mom, Did I Get Any Phone Calls?

Kara Called.

She Talks So Fast
I Never Understand Her.

Yeah, That's Kara.

Anyone Else?

No, Honey, That's It.

Are You Sure?

If You're Talking About Roy,
He Didn't Call.

Roy?

Yeah, Roy-- The Boy You Talk To
On The Phone Constantly.

Oh, Yeah.

I'm Tired Of Him
Calling Here Every Day.

Dad, Did Anyone Call For Me
At Your Office?

Call For You At My Office?

Why Would Somebody Call
On My Phone And Ask For You?

Did You Give My Number Out?

No.

I'm Glad Nobody Called.

I Don't Want Any Phone Calls.

Dumbest Things
Ever Invented.

Alexander Graham Bell
Was Stupid.

What's That All About?

She Got A Pimple?

No, I Think We're Having
A Little Trouble With Roy.

Roy.

Well, That's
What It Is.

We Got Another One
Turned

And The Boys Are Starting
To Ruin Their Lives.

And Ours.

Mom, Dad, I Have Something
To Tell You.

Oh, Lord.

It Might Be Good.

How Long Have You Lived Here?

Come On.

Oh, Gosh.

Hey.

I'm Glad You're Home.

Sit Down.

So What Do You
Have To Tell Us?

Well, I Quit My Job.

Where You Going?

There's More?

I Haven't Even Got
To The Good Part Yet.

Sit.

Okay, So Things
Didn't Work Out For You

At The Pizza
Parlor, Huh?

I Quit That Job Two Weeks Ago.

I've Had Two Jobs Since Then.

I Was Working As A Messenger
For Elio, The Fashion Designer.

His Real Name's Elliot, But
He Makes Everyone Call Him Elio.

I Was Having Lunch
At A Coffee Shop

And I Forgot His Sketches
On The Counter

For His Entire
Spring Line.

When I Went Back,
Someone Had Stolen Them.

And That's When
Elio Fired You?

Yeah, But I Insisted He Pay Me
For Three Hours' Work.

Did You Ask Him About
Your Christmas Bonus?

I'm Really Happy With My Job
At The Pyramid Gallery.

But You're Quitting
This Job?

You'd Quit, Too, If You Had
A Chance At This Job.

What's The Job?

It's A Once-In-A-Lifetime
Opportunity.

What Is The Job?

I Don't Think I Could
Explain It As Well

As The Woman
That I've Been Working For.

So I Invited Her Over.

She Can Explain Everything

You Need To Know
About Me Going To Africa.

Africa?

The Pygmies Live In Africa

And I Need To Be
Near Them For This Job.

When Did They
Ask For You?

Elizabeth, The Woman Who's
Coming Over, Is A Photographer

And I Want To Go With Her
To Take Pictures.

She Wants Me
To Be Her Assistant.

Denise, You Have Never Expressed
Interest In Pygmies Or Africa.

That's Because I've Never
Known Anything About Them

Until I Saw Elizabeth's
Photographs At The Gallery.

Then She Described
What It's Like There.

The Pygmies Believe
That They Are One With Nature.

They Live
In Complete Harmony.

Because There's No Competition

They Don't Spend
Their Whole Lives

Trying To Climb
The Ladder Of Success.

Now I Understand.

'Cause You'll Fit
Right In There.

As A Matter Of Fact, You Won't
Even Have To Take An Exam.

You'll Go Right
Straight To Honorary Pygmy.

Hey, Vanessa.

Hi.

What's The Matter With You?

Are You Having Problems
With Roy?

He Doesn't Mean Anything To Me.

That's Not What You
Were Saying Two Days Ago.

You Were Saying:

"Roy, My Love, My All,
My Only Reason To Live."

Rudy, Stop It.

I Know You're
Having Boy Problems.

How?

You Knocked Over
Your Orange Juice.

Whenever You're Having Boy
Problems, You Knock Things Over.

I Do?

Yes.

What Are You Writing?

A Poem.

Can I Read It?

Sure, Why Not?

Thank You.

Nice Penmanship.

"I Am Alone In The Field.

"It's Over.

"The Sun Has Set,
But No One Has Said Good Night.

"It's Over.

"I Step On A Cricket.

"He Makes No Sound.

He's Over."

You've Got It Bad.

What Do You Know
About Love, Anyway?

I Know I'll Have Love
The Way I Want It

Or Not At All.

You Can't Control
The Way Love Happens.

If A Boy Tells Me
He Doesn't Love Me Anymore

I'll Tell Him, "You're Wrong.

You'll Love Me Until
I Tell You Not To Love Me."

Look, Rudy, You're Too Young.

You Don't Understand Love.

It Doesn't Work That Way.

It Sure Doesn't Work Your Way.

( Squealing )

How Many Centimeters Is She?

Dumb Pencils.

Can't They Make Them
So They Stay Where You Put Them?

Are You Finished?

Dad, I'm Sorry.

I Just Needed A Pencil.

Kara And Janet
Are Coming Over To Study.

Janet And Kara.

Kara, The One That Talks So Fast

I Don't Understand
A Single Word She's Saying?

I Understand
Every Word She Says.

( Doorbell )

They're Here.

Janet And Turbo Tongue.

Dad, Be Nice.

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

It's True That Dreams
Really Happen, And I Know Why

And I Have To Tell You
Right Now.

Kara, Tell Her
What's Going On.

You, Me And Janet
Are Getting Three Tickets

To Look, Listen And Drool At...

Are You Listening?

I Hope
You're Listening.

...Tom E. Tame
And The New Tame g*ng.

Can You
Believe It?

That's Why These Tickets
Are For Backstage.

Tommy Could Walk Right
By Us After The Concert.

He Might Accidentally
Touch Us

And Ask Us
To Go To Dinner.

Right!

I Bet He'll Bring
The Band Along.

They Work Up A Huge Appetite

When They Guitar
Their Brains Out.

You Can Bring Roy.

Roy!?

I Wouldn't Invite Him
To A Dog Fight.

Are You Having
Problems With Roy?

We'll Talk About It
In My Room.

I Knew That Boy Was No Good
From The Minute I Saw Him.

He Thinks He's So Cool.

Yackity, Yackity, Yackity,
Yackity, Yackity, Yackity.

You Need To Dance With Someone
Who Can Dance As Well As You

And You Dance
Really Well.

Okay, What Happened?

Greg Zinzer Told Me That
Freddy Timmons Told Him

That Roy Is Telling People
He Broke Up With Me.

No.
No.

Yes.

I Went Up To Roy And Said,
"What's Going On?"

What Did He Say?

He Said, "I Have To Go
To Chemistry Class."

Did He Expect You
To Believe That?

He Gets C's
In Chemistry.

He Doesn't Even Care
About Chemistry.

He's Trying
To Avoid Facing Me.

If It's Over
Between You And Roy

Maybe You Should Just
Accept That It's Over.

It's Not Over
Until I Say It's Over.

I Never Heard
You Talk Like This.

Where Did You
Get That?

Rudy.

These Are Photographs

Of The Pigmy Women
Of The Ituri Rain Forest

In Zaire.

Very Striking.

Didn't I Tell You
Her Photographs Were Exciting?

You Do Beautiful Work.

I'm Working On
A Book Of My Photographs.

It's A Three-Year Project.

I Hope To Get
The Photographs I Need

For The Third Section
With This Trip.

What About Your
Living Conditions?

This Is Very Basic Living.

We'll Be Staying In Small Huts
And Sleeping On Mats.

Does Denise Know That
There Is No Cable Television?

Of Course
I Know.

It's Completely Natural,
The Way Life Was Meant To Be.

What Will You Eat?

The Pigmies Are Hunter-Gatherers

So Their Main Diet
Is Boiled Roots And Wild Leaves.

Yum-Yum.

They Also Eat Meat Such As
Antelope And Snails And Termites

And Grubs And Beetles.

Denise Is Going
To Eat Bugs?

Bugs Are A Very Good
Source Of Protein.

I See.

How Do You Like Yours--
Raw Or Al Dente?

Actually, They Cook The Beetles.

They Throw Them On Hot Coals,
They Peel Back The Wings

They Pull Off The Legs
And The Belly Plate

And Pop Them In.

Mm-Mmm.

My Father Said

"Never Throw Away
A Good Belly Plate."

We Put Them With A Hamhock,
Add Some Water To That, Boy.

We'd Sit There All Night Long
And Crunch Away.

I Hope I'm Not Discouraging You

From Letting Denise
Take This Job.

One Question:

Why Would You Hire Denise?

Denise Told Me About
All The Jobs She's Had Lately.

Frankly, She Sounds
Exactly Like Me At That Age

When I Was Trying
To Find Myself.

So You Know
Denise's Track Record.

What Are You Going To Do
When One Day

In The Middle Of
The Rain Forest

Denise Says

"I'm Tired Of Sleeping
On This Mat

"And Eating These
Boiled Leaves And Bugs.

I Want To Go Home."

The Pigmies Are Very Protective.

One Of Them Would Guide Her
Out Of The Forest

To The Nearest Dirt Road.

That's About
A Or -Mile Hike.

From There

She Would Hitch A Ride On
A Supply Truck Another Miles

To The Nearest
Field Station.

When A Plane
Becomes Available...

Becomes Available?

Yes.

She'll Be Picked Up
In A Clearing.

Then She'll Fly
Another , Miles

To The Nearest City
With A Major Airport.

If It's Not The Rainy Season

The Whole Trip Shouldn't Take
More Than Two Weeks.

I Just Feel Stupid
Using A Travel Agent.

Yeah, Sherry.

That Was An Incredible
Good-Night Kiss.

It Was Like The Sun
Had Entered My Body

And Was Radiating Energy
Out To My Fingers And Toes.

Then I Floated Out Of My Body
And Hovered Over Us.

Then You Joined Me,
And We Floated Hand In Hand

Into The Cosmos.

Mom?!

What Are You Doing On The Line?

How Long Have
You Been Listening?

Sherry, Don't Hang Up.

Mom, Look What You Did.

No, Don't Make Fun Of Me.

Sherry Likes It When
I Talk To Her Like That.

Yeah, I'm Sure.

All I Did Was
Kiss Her Good Night.

Okay, Bye.

Theo, Did Anybody Call For Me?

I Was On The Phone.

You Are Always On The Phone.

There Are Other People
In This House.

You Must Be Expecting
A Phone Call From Roy.

I Might Be.

I Thought He Dumped You.

How Could You Say That,
You Insensitive Jerk?

You're Not Supposed To Say
Things Like That.

This Is All
So Stupid.

Vanessa, I Just Made
This Popcorn.

I'm Sorry, Theo.

I Didn't See
The Bowl.

I'm Lashing Out
At Everyone.

You Don't Want
To Eat This Anymore, Do You?

I'll Go In
The Kitchen...

Vanessa, This Is
My Econ. Book.

It Cost Me $ .

Theo, I'm Sorry.

No, Don't Touch It.

I'll Go Into The Kitchen,
And I'll Get Some Paper Towels.

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

She Blew Up At Me.

She Knocked My Popcorn
All Over The Floor

And Spilled Milk
Over My Econ. Book.

The Book I Paid $ For?

You've Got
To Straighten Her Out.

What's The Problem?

I Don't Know.

Something About The Phone, Roy.

The Babe's Freaked Out.

You've Got
To Understand.

She's Years Old.

You Have
To Have Patience.

Give Me This.

Just Cool Out.

Hi.

Dad, I'm Sorry.

I Spilled Milk
All Over The Place

And I Spilled
Some Popcorn.

Okay, Just Sit Down.

Sit Down.

Over Here, Hon.

All Right, My Love.

What's The Problem?

What's Happening?

Talk To Me.

About What?

Talk To Me About
What's Bothering You.

Nothing's
Bothering Me.

I'm Fine.

Okay, You're Fine.

Tell Me About Roy, Then.

All Right, Dad.

My Friends
Are Telling Me

That Roy Is Going Around
Telling People

He Broke Up With Me.

But He Hasn't Called To Tell Me.

I'm Upset That
He Hasn't Called To Tell Me.

I'll Go To Roy's
And Tell Him To Call.

He Has To Call Me On His Own.

If A Guy's Going
To Break Up With Me

He Should Call Me.

You Think Guys Are The Only
People Who Don't Call Back?

Women And Girls
Don't Call, Either

I Will Have You Know.

When I Was Young,
I Met This Girl Named Marie.

She Didn't Call Me.

There Was Somebody Before Mom?

Of Course There Was Someone

Before
Your Mother.

I Met This Girl Named Marie.

She Was Gorgeous.

I Went Up To Her, And I Said,
"I Really Like You Very Much."

She Said, "I Think
You're Wonderful, Too."

I Said, "We'd Make
A Wonderful Couple.

"Here's My Phone Number.

"Please Call Me.

I Will Wait By The Phone."

I Went Home.

I Waited By The Phone.

I Sat On The Phone.

My Mother And Father
Wanted To Use The Phone.

I Said,
"Please Don't Use The Phone."

She Did Not Call,
I'm Telling You.

Finally, I Got A Call.

Was It Marie?

It Was Your Mother.

Was This A Story
To Make Me Feel Better?

Of Course It Was.

Thank You, Daddy.

All Right, Dear.

What Did
They Say?

I Had My Ear
To The Door.

All I Heard Was "Denise,"
"Quitter" And "Dropout."

That's All You Heard?

No.

Then I Heard Daddy Say

"Rudy, Get Away From The Door."

That's It.

I'm Not Going.

The Chance Of A Lifetime.

Hello.

First Of All,
I Want You To Understand

I Didn't Appreciate
Your Sending A Spy.

On Top Of That,
You Sent

A Lousy Spy.

Sorry, I Was Anxious.

Your Father And I
Have Reached A Decision.

I'd Like To Say

I Think Denise
Should Go To Africa.

Let Them Give Me
The Bad News.

Your Father And I

Have Debated Every Aspect
Of This Question.

The Decision Has Not Been
An Easy One.

I'm Not Going.

May I Finish,
Please?

Yes.

We've Decided

That As Far As This Trip
To Africa Is Concerned

The Answer Is Yes.

( Screaming )

We Still Have A Few Questions
To Ask Elizabeth.

She'll Be Happy To Answer
Anything You Need To Know.

I Am So Excited.

You Guys Don't
Worry About Me.

Where I'm Going Will Be
Difficult And Rugged.

The Most
Difficult Part

Will Be Being Away
From You Guys.

I Really Enjoyed
Being Back Here.

It's Been Really Nice.

I Hope You
Think Of Me.

I'll Be Thinking
About You Every Day.

Right.

At Least
Once A Week.

That's Better.

I'm Going
To Miss You.

Me, Too, Sis.

Me, Too.

It Won't Be The Same
Here Without You.

Yes!

I Got My Room Back!

I Love Life!

( Phone Ringing )

I'll Get It.

Hello.

Huxtable Residence.

Well, Well, Well.

We've Been Expecting
To Hear From You.

Vanessa, It's Roy.

Roy?

Let Him Have It.

Show Him No Mercy.

I'm Taking This
In The Other Room.

Rudy, Come With Me.

I Might Need Help.

I Got It.

Roy, I Want To Talk To You.

I Want To Talk To You, Too.

Do You Know
What You Put Me Through?

I'm Sorry.

You Should Be.

I Found Out From Other People
That You Broke Up With Me.

I Never Said That.

I Said I Hope We Never Break Up.

You Really Said That?

Yeah.

I Guess We're
Getting Back Together.

We Never Broke Up.

Let's Meet At
The Mall Tonight.

Okay, Bye-Bye.

How Come You Didn't
Let Him Have It?

Roy Is A Gentleman, Rudy.

He Was Trying
To Protect My Feelings.

Oh, Man.

Love's A Joke.

No, It's Not.

Not If You Have
A Guy Like Roy.

Yes!

Thank You!

In Two Days

She'll Be Writing About
Dead Crickets Again.
