Hey, Dad, I'm Back.
Did You Pick Up Grandma
And Grandpa's Mail?
Yep.
They'll Be Back Tomorrow
From Florida.
Here's Something
I Think You Should See.
They Won A Sweepstakes.
This Is A Come-On Letter
From A Subscription Service.
They Say You Won $ Trillion.
You Get Nothing.
This Does Not Say,
"You May Be A Winner."
It Says,
"You Are A Winner."
It Says, "Open Immediately."
What's Going On?
Grandma And Grandpa Might Be
Multimillionaires.
They Won A Sweepstakes.
We Received An Envelope
Just Like This Today.
I'll Show You.
Sorry, Son.
Wait A Minute.
This Is Different.
This One Says,
"You May Be A Winner."
This One Says,
"You Are A Winner."
Let's Open It.
You Can't.
Yes, You Can.
This Is Not Addressed To You.
It Says, "Open Immediately."
It Says, "Russell Huxtable,
Open Immediately."
I Am The Man's Son.
I Give You Permission
To Open It.
Does Theo Open Your Mail?
She Has A Point.
Hey, Man, I'm Not
Talking To You.
You Understand?
My Father Won't Be Here
Till Tomorrow.
If We Open It Now,
He May Get The Prize.
He's Got A Point.
Thank You, Son.
One Day Won't Result
In His Losing Any Prize.
My Father Is Up There In Age.
If He Opens That
And Finds Out
He's Won $ Trillion
Something May Happen
Up In His Chest.
If We Open It,
See The Ten Trillion
I Can Call Him In,
Tell Him Calmly
And He Won't Have Chest Pains.
That's Not A Good Point.
Who's Asking What You Think?
Open It.
Opening Someone's Mail
Constitutes Petty Theft.
You Can Do Time For That.
So This Letter Goes
In This Basket
Until Your Father Comes Back.
Okay, Miss Play-By-The-Book.
If My Father Wins Some Money
I'm Going To Tell My Father
That He And I Will Split It
And You'll Get
(Raspberry)
Nothing.
I'm Going To Study.
Mom, Dad, You Have
To See This Video.
It's The Lipsticks' Debut.
Who Are They?
Nobody Till : Today.
We Were Walking By
Latham's Department Store.
We Saw A Sign--
"Make Your Own
Videotapes."
What's More Important
Videos Or Eye Shadows?
We Said, "Videos."
Janet Said, "Eye Shadows."
That's How We Came Up
With The Name The Lipsticks.
Vanessa Thought
The Eye Shadows Sounded Better
But She Changed Her Mind
And That's Who We Are--
The Lipsticks.
Thank You.
Vanessa?
We Made A Video.
The Store Provided
The Background Music
We Provided The Vocals
And They Videotaped It.
Let's See It.
Okay.

Yeah.
It's Called
"Do It To Me
All Night Long."
Would You Tell Me, Um...
What Does "It" Mean?
Daddy, You Know What "It" Means.
Yes, I Do
But I Want To Know
If You Know What "It" Means.
"It" Means Holding Hands
And Kissing.
Holding Hands And Kissing?
Yes, But That's Not All
That "It" Means.
What Else Does
"It" Mean?
It Means, Uh...
Homework.
"It" Is Homework.

(Teapot Whistling)
Oh, Sounds Like
You're Making Tea.
Yes.
Would You Like A Cup?
No, But I Figured
If I Showed You
This Sweepstakes Envelope
You Might Know What You
Could Do With That Teapot.
Are You Suggesting
That I Place That Envelope
Near The Steam
So It Might Open Up?
I'm Merely Bringing It Up
As A Possibility.
Well, I Think That As A Son,
You Have Hit An All-Time Low.
You're Right, Dad.
I'll Just Put This Back.
Now, Because I Don't
Trust You, My Boy
I Am Going To Keep
This Envelope Away From You
Because I Don't Trust
Anything You Do.
How Dare You Suggest
That I Do Something Like This?
Do You Understand
What I'm Saying To You?
And Don't Ever
Try It Again.
You Two Are
Pathetic, Pitiful...
And Predictable.
See, You Got Me
In A Whole Lot Of Trouble.
Aha!
♪ Do-Do-Do-Do-Bee ♪
Listen, I Apologize
For Acting Like A Sleaze, Okay?
Think Nothing Of It.
I'll Sit With You.
Do A Little
Light Reading.
Oh, What
Should I Read?
What Should I Read?
I'll Close My Eyes
And Let's Get It...
Oh, What Is This
I'm Touching?
You Were Spying On Me.
Yes, You
Were Spying.
No, I Wasn't.
I Think You
Can Go To Jail
For Hiding
People's Mail.
Hey!
How You Doing?
There They Are,
The Rolly Pops.
How Did It Go?
We Learned We Don't Need
Singing Lessons From Miss Woods.
She Didn't
Even Let Us Sing.
All We Did Was
Be-Be-Be
Zinga-Zinga-Zee.
We Don't Want
To Sing Like That.
I Don't Think You're
Being Fair To Miss Woods
And What She's
Trying To Do.
You Want To Get To The Song
But She Taught You
Breathing Exercises.
Correct?
Same Thing
Happened To Me.
I Wanted To Be A Drummer.
Had My Own Set.
I Heard Art Blakey Play,
Bought His Records
Tried To Copy Him.
I Couldn't Get It.
So I Went Down
To A Teacher.
I Said, "I Want To Learn
How His Left Hand Does
"Di-Di-Di-Di-Di
"While The Right Hand Does
Ding-Di-Ding-Ding."
The Man Said
"I Know What
You're Talking About."
He Put The Set Aside,
Pulled Out A Block
And He Said,
"Do Like This--
"Whack-Whack
Whack-Whack."
I Said, "I Don't
Want To Go Whack-Whack.
I Want Diga-De-Diga-
De-Diga-De-Diga"
He Said, "In Order To Get
To That You Got To Go
Whack-Whack-Whack."
That's A Great Story
But It Doesn't Have
Anything To Do With Us.
We Don't
Play Drums.
We Sing.
Yeah.
But You Don't Sing Well... Yet.
We Don't Have To Sing Well.
You Don't?
There's This Group
Called W-Four.
And?
They Can't Sing.
When They're In
The Recording Studio
The Engineer Fixes Their Voices.
That's What We'll Do.
Wait Till You See
What We Look Like!
We'll Put On The Outfits
And Show You Our Routine.
All Right.

Mom, Why Did
You Do That?
We're Not
Finished Yet.
Yes, You Are.
I Thought They Were Hot.
Maybe You Should Go
Up To Your Room
And Cool Off.
Aw, Man.
Mrs. Huxtable
Is There
Something Wrong?
I Don't Know Who
You Think You Are
But You Are Not The People
Who Just Came Down Here
In My Living Room Half Dressed
Flinging Parts
From One End To The Other.
Are My Eyes Deceiving Me?
Aren't You All Swollen In Areas
Where You Weren't
Swollen Before?
Thank You, Because I
Definitely Detect Some Growth.
Mom!
That's Part
Of Our Outfits.
The Only Part Of Your Clothing
That You Will Be Allowed
To Stuff Things Into
Will Be Your Pockets.
You Go Put
Some Clothes On.
I'm Not Your Mother,
But I Speak For Them
When I Say Go Cover Yourselves
Immediately.
Yes, Mrs. Huxtable.
I Finally Thought They Were
Old Enough To Understand
I'm Not A Child
Anymore.
And Don't Put Those Tissues
Back In The Box!
Did You See Kara
With That Bra On
On Top Of Her Leotard?
Did I See It?
We Have Made
A Mistake.
We Have Planted Roses,
But We Keep Getting Weeds.
Sondra's In
The Wilderness
Denise Is In The Jungle
And She's On "The Locomotion."
Take That w*r Paint
Off Your Faces!
Before Their Mothers
Come In Here And Blame Me.
Running
Around Here
Like They Just Hopped Off
The Hot Seat.
Suppose Some Fool
Comes Along, Sees That
Takes Them Seriously...
Vanessa Could End Up
Across The Country
In A Smoke-Filled Cafe
Singing And Dancing
And Gyrating Like That.
I Won't Be Around
To Take
The Tissues Out.
What Do
They Know?
"Easy As Doing
Your Abc's..."
Miss , On The S.A.T.
I Got Your Locomotion
Down Here With A Science Book!
Right.
And Take That Makeup Off!
That's Right.
I Can See Her Now
In A Hollywood Swimming Pool
With A Remote Phone,
Calling Me Up:
"Hi, Mom, Babe.
Let's Do Lunch."
I'll Not Have It!
And That Goes For Me, Too.
Vanessa, Clair,
The Show Starts At : .
We Got Five.
(Doorbell)
Hey!
Hey!
All Right!
How You Doing?
Here's Your Mail.
All Right.
Bang!
There It Is.
I Dropped
Your Mother Off.
Did I Tell You About
The Fishing I Did In Florida?
Yeah.
Open This Up, Please.
I'll Open It With Your Mother.
No, Don't Wait
And Do It With Her.
Cliff, Calm Down.
Have You Been Eating
Sugar Products?
No, Sir.
Just Open This Up.
We'll Tell Mom Later.
All Right,
I'll Open It.
All Right.
There You Go.
If You Don't Mind.
Uh-Oh.
What?
This Is Unbelievable.
I Have Never Won Anything
In My Life And Now This.
What?
I Am The Winner
Of A Stainless Steel
Toaster.
"Makes Up To
Eight Slices."
I'm So Lucky.
I'll See You Later, Son.
Stop Over Any Time
You Want Some Toast.
