01x18 - Vanessa's New Class

[bunniefuu]

-Hi.
-Hi.

Is This Your
Science Project?

The Solar System--

The Nine Planets, Including
Saturn With Its Rings.

And If That Isn't Enough,
Check This Out.

It's Pretty Good.

Pretty Good?

Yeah. When's It Due?

Why Do You Ask?

You Should Make Each Planet
Revolve Separately.

If This Was
A Real Solar System

You Would Have Had
A Four-Planet Collision.

Denise, This Is
A Great Science Project.

It's As Good As
Anything I've Ever Done

And I Always Get "A's."

You're In An Advanced Class Now.

How Much Time
Did You Put Into This?

Four Nights.

When Were You Given
The Assignment?

A Month And A Half Ago.

I'm Not Saying It's Not Good,
I'm Just Saying I Don't Know.

Bye, Denise. Thanks.

Theo, You Almost Done?

When You're Finished,
Wash Your Bowl

Because I'm Getting Ready
To Start This Load.

Finished.

Oh, No. It's Broken.

Are You Sure?

Quick, Let's Wash These Dishes.

If Your Father Finds Out
This Thing Is Broken

He'll Get That Tool Kit
And Try To Fix It.

And Then He'll
Have Me Help Him.

Remember The Refrigerator?

First, A Teeny Little
Light Wouldn't Come On.

Four Days Later

Nothing Worked
Except The Door Handle.

He Kept Saying,
"I Almost Have It."

Good Morning.

Mom, You Know,
Cleanup Is So Much Easier

By Using Modern Appliances.

This Isn't Full Enough.

Rather Than Wasting Energy,
We'll Start It After Dinner.

Good Idea.

See You, Dad.

It's Broken, Isn't It?

Cliff, I'll Call The Repairman.

You'll Do No Such Thing.

I Can Fix That,
And It's Cheaper.

You Call The Repairman,
What Does He Do?

He Comes Here, Charges Us $

To Tell Us That The Part
That's Needed To Make It Run

Is Somewhere On A Mountaintop
In Minnesota.

Dad...

When You
Fix It

We Pay The Repairman Anyway.

"We"?

Since When Did You Become
"We" For Paying Bills?

You Do Remember
The Refrigerator?

I Almost Had It.

I Almost Had It, Dear,
And You Kept Pressuring Me.

Because We'd Eaten
Out Of Cans For Three Days.

I Have To Get To School.

What Are You Going To Do
After School?

Does It Matter?

My Son, The Repairman's Helper.

Leave Me Alone, Rudy.

Let Me Carry Morris.

It's Not Morris, It's Mars,
And You Can't Have It.

Please?

When You Carried It Before,
You Bounced It.

Because Before It Was Mars,
It Was My Ball.

Look At It This Way, Rudy.

You're Making A Contribution
To Science.

Okay.

When Can I Have It Back?

After The Fair.

Okay.

Okay.

(Whack)

Ooh.

Dad.

Huh?

You Like My Science
Project, Don't You?

Do I Like It?

I Love It.

Clair, Look At This.

Is This
Fantastic?

It's Fantastic.

And On Top Of That, Clair,
The Piece De Resistance:

We Have A Nine-Page Report
On The Solar System.

Stand Over Here, Genius Of Mine

Because The Brain Power
Comes From The Huxtable Side.

Fire Away.
Ask A Question.

Go Ahead.

What Is The Atmosphere Like
On The Planet Saturn?

Read On.

"The Atmosphere On Saturn

"Is Composed Of Methane
And Molecular Hydrogen.

"The Average Temperature
Is Degrees Below Zero

And The Wind Velocity
Is Miles Per Hour."

I'm Very Impressed.

Cliff:
Yes, Indeed.

(Doorbell)

That's Janet.

Would You Let Her In?

Yes, Ma'am.

I'll Get A Box To Put This In.

Hello.

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

Um...

Don't I Know You?

Did We Double-Date Together
Somewhere?

Well, Who Are You?

Janet Meiser.

You're My Daughter's
Giggling Partner.

I Have All Your Albums.

Yes.

What Do You Want?

My Parents Are Waiting Outside.

Is Vanessa Ready?

She's Getting
Her Science Project.

Don't Tell Me
What She Did.

We Swore To Secrecy
Until The Science Fair.

Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.

Hi, Janet.

How Are You?

Fine.

Are You Nervous?

A Little.

I Was Putting My Project
Together Until The Last Minute.

I Finished Mine Two Days Ago.

Wow. I Bet It's Good.

Vanessa Built
A Life-Size Space Shuttle.

She Did?

Yeah.

Have Your Folks Got
A Trailer Outside?

Dad...

He's Kidding.

Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.

Wish Me Luck.

The Winner
Gets A Trophy.

I Got A Space Right Here For It.

Thank You.

Bye, Vanessa.

Cliff, That Really
Was Not Necessary.

What?

School Is Competitive.

Don't Put Extra Pressure On Her.

There's Nothing Wrong
With Competition.

I Don't Want Vanessa
To Get Carried Away

Like Somebody I Know.

Are You Talking About Me?

Yes, I Am.

Now, Let's Take The Way
You Play "Monopoly".

What Has "Monopoly"
Got To Do With Science?

I'm Talking About The Way
You Handle Competition.

To Most People,
"Monopoly" Is A Game.

YouUse "Monopoly"
To Crush Your Challengers.

If Somebody Gets
A "Go To Jail" Card

You Applaud.

That's Right.

That's Right.

If Somebody
Lands On Your Property

You Make Cash Register Sounds.

Ch-Zing.

Ch-Zing.

That's Right.

When You Win

You Pile Your Money On The Floor
And Roll In It.

You Are The Worst.

Now I Know
What You're Talking About.

This Has Nothing To Do
With Science.

You're Still Warm About
The "Monopoly" Game We Played

And I Had
"Boardwalk"

And You Rolled The Dice
And Landed On My "Boardwalk"

And I Had About , Hotels
And Houses

And You Only Had $ .

And I Told You To Pay Up,
And You Said:

"But I'm Your Wife!"

And You Better Pay.

Well, Who's Going
To Set Up First?

Okay, I Guess I Will.

Wow!

Where Did You
Get Those?

I Made Them.

You Did?

I Wasn't Sure
I'd Be Able To

But As I Learned,
I Got Into It.

Do They Do Anything?

Just This.

This One Is Different.

I Added A Sound Command.

Did Your Father Help You?

You Made Those By Yourself?

Uh-Huh.

Wow.

What's Your Project?

The Solar System.

I Did That In
The Third Grade.

Had All
The Planets

The Moons
Around Jupiter

And A Flaming
Asteroid.

It's Nothing Compared To
What's Under That Sheet.

Leon, Tell Us
What It Is.

Promise Not
To Tell Anyone?

Promise.
Promise.

I Made A Working Tornado.

Wow.

Tornadoes Aren't Hard.

You Just Put
A Low-Pressure,
Warm Air System

Under A High-Pressure,
Cold Air System.

Mine Destroys
A Miniature Farm Community.

Wow!
Wow!

What's Your Project,
Janet?

Robotics.

Can I See?

Sure.

Um, Mr. Robertson?

Could I Wait Until Monday
To Set Up My Project?

Why?

I'd Like To Work On It More.

I'm Sorry, But We're
Judging In Half An Hour.

Get Yourself Ready.

Theo:
I'm Home, Dad!

Hey, Dad.

What Time Do You
Get Out Of School?

: .

It's Already : !

I Asked You To Come Here As
Soon As You Get Out Of School.

Sorry, Dad.

So How's It Going?

Mocking Theo:
So How's It Going?

Just Fine -- I Fixed It.

Dad...

Is It Really Fixed?

Hi, Dad.

Frick And Frack,
How Are You?

What Happened?

Life's Been Too Easy For Me.

I Want To Talk About
The Science Fair.

Who Won?

Leon Haywood.

His Project Was Great.

He Had This Tornado
In A Tube

And He Kept Throwing Little
Cows And Tractors Into It.

And They Spin Up To The Top
And Fly Out.

How Did You Do?

Janet Came In Third.

I'm Happy For You.

Third Place,
All Right.

And Number Two...

Number Four...

Not Me, Dad.

What Were You?

Fourteenth.

Fourteenth?

But Her Project
Was Really Great.

Get Them Next Time!

Right, Dad.

Okay.

Vanessa...

Yeah?

I'm Sorry You Came In th.

Well...

I'm Sorry I Came In Third.

You Don't Have
To Apologize

Because You Had
Someone Help You.

Nobody Helped Me.

Your Father's An Engineer--
He Must Have Helped You.

I Worked Hard On My Project.

Nobody Helped Me.

Don't You Believe Me?

If You Say So.

So What Do You
Want To Do Now?

Nothing.

No, You Don't Understand--
I Don't Need A Repairman.

The Machine Is Past Repairman.

What I'm Asking For
Is If You Have A Machine

That's The Same Model
As The One That I Had.

You Do.

Can You Get A Man Here

To Put It In Before : --
Before My Wife Gets Home?

Yes, I Want To
Give Her A Present.

You Can?

Oh, You're Great.

Thank You.

Dr. Huxtable?

Mrs. Wizard!

I Think I Want
To Go Home.

You Think You
Want To Go Home?

Yes.
Could You Take Me?

You Really Want To Go?

I Really Want To.

Well, Yeah.

I'll Go Get My Keys,
Then I'll Take You Home.

Thank You, Dr. Huxtable.

Okay.

(Knocking)

Who Is It?

It's Dad.

Come In.

Hi, Dad.

Hi.

Everything Okay?

Yes, Dad.

Janet Wants Me To Take Her Home.

That's A Short Visit.

Yes, Dad.

What's Happening?

N...

Ever Since She Won Third Prize,
She's Been Impossible.

She Only Won It Just
A Couple Minutes Ago.

She Won't Admit It,
But Her Dad Helped Her.

Did You Ask Her About It?

Yes.

What Did She Say?

She Said He Didn't.

And Do You Believe Her?

Every Time I Sat Down To Work,
Rudy Was Always Bothering Me.

I Asked Mom If I Could Work
At The Kitchen Table

And She Said No.

I Don't Even Think
Mr. Robertson Likes Me.

Are You Finished?

And You Only Gave Me $
To Do My Project.

So A Whole Lot Of People
Ruined This Project For You?

Look At Me.

You Know There's Two People
In This Room

Who Really
Know Better Than That, Don't We?

Come Here.

Come On, Now.

Come Over Here.

You Tell Me,
What Is The Real Problem Now?

Dad, I Thought What I Did
Was Good Enough

But When I Saw
What Those Other Kids Did

I Knew I Could Have
Done A Lot More.

How Much More?

A LotMore.

Why Didn't You?

I Don't Know.

"I Don't Know."

Come On, Level With Me.

I Guess I Just Didn't
Work Hard Enough.

Is That Class Too Fast For You?

Do They Ask Too Much Of You?

Uh-Uh.

How Much More
Could You Have Done?

I Could Have Done % More.

Denise Was Right.

I Should Have Made Each Planet
Rotate By Itself.

Mm-Hmm.

I Should Have Put Moons
Around Mars And Jupiter.

I Should Have Put Comets
And Satellites.

I Could Have Put
The Starship Enterprise.

Okay, That's My Girl.

Dad?

Yeah?

Could I Borrow $ ?

Why? Do You Want To
Run Away From Home?

No, I Want To Finish
My Science Project.

The Competition
Is Over, Honey.

I Know.

You Want To Do It
To Show Mr. Robertson, Right?

You Want To Do It
To Show Dad.

I Want To Do It For Me.

That's My Girl.

Dad...

Hmm?

I Can't Breathe.

You Have To Understand, Dear,
That Love Hurts Sometimes.

Janet Is Downstairs.

Do You Want Me To Take Her Home?

Okay.

Can She Stay For Dinner?

Did Her Father Help Her?

We'll Go Out For Pizza.

Can I Have Your Crust?

You're Pushing It.

Dad, Vanessa Said
We're All Going Out For Pizza.

Yeah.

Can I Stay Home?

You've Only Missed Pizza
When Your Tonsils Were Removed.

Whenever Vanessa And Janet
Come Along, They Make Fun Of Me.

That's Because You're Funny.

Listen, When The Pizza Comes,
Everybody Waits Except You.

And We All Say The Same Thing:
"Please, It's Hot."

You Say, "I Don't Care."

You Reach In, Grab The Slice,
Pull It Up.

The Cheese Is Still
Clinging To The Thing.

It's Got A Long Line Of It.

You Turn, Open Up Your Mouth
And You Bite Down.

The Heat Is Coming Out
Of Your Mouth.

Then You Say,
"Har... La... Har... "

Then You Pull It Away.

There's Cheese Coming
From The Pizza.

There's Cheese Down Here.

And Then You Grab Anything.

Remember When You
Grabbed That Cup

And It Belonged To People
That Had Just Left The Table

And It Had
Cigarette Butts In It?

You Drank It!

I'll Get My Coat, Dad.

Yeah.

We're Ready.

Thanks For
Inviting Me To Dinner.

Don't Thank Me, You're Buying.

(Giggling)

He, He, He, He.

Do You Have Money, Young Lady?

Credit Cards?

You Go Upstairs
And Get Your Sister.

And You Go Get The Car.

Ho, Ha, Ho, Ha.

Hey.

Don't Take Your Coat Off Because
We're Going Out For Pizza Now.

Okay.

Where Are You Going?

To The Kitchen.

What For?

A Glass Of Juice.

They Sell Juice
In The Restaurant.

How Did Vanessa Make Out
In Her Science Fair?

She Came In th.

I Asked Her
If She Was In Over Her Head.

She Said No.

She Asked Me For $

So She Could Go Back And
Do The Project All Over Again.

She Is Not In Over Her Head.

Very Good.

Ah...

Now If We Could
Just Do Something

About The Other Child
In The Family

Who Is In Over His Head,
But Refuses To Admit It.

Tell Me Theo's Problem,
And I'll Help.

Theo Is Not The Child
I'm Referring To.

The Child I'm Speaking Of
Wears An Engineer's Cap

Coveralls, Has A Toolbox
And Has Never Fixed Anything.

Go Straight Up
To Your Room

And Vanessa Will
Talk With You

About Being In
Over Your Head.

Can I Have Some Pizza First?

Only If You Promise
Never, Ever Again

As Long As We Both Shall Live,
To Try To Fix Anything.

I...

Promise...

Not To Ever Try To Fix
Anything In This House Again.

I Promise Not To Try To Fix
Anything In This House Again.

I...
