02x08 - Rudy Suits Up

[bunniefuu]

Hey, Dad!

See Ya, Dad.

Hey!

Hey!

Come Down
Here!

This Is A Banister!

When Your Mother And I
Bought This House

We Cherished The Fact
That We Had A Banister.

When We Walked Up The Steps

Your Mother,
Especially-

I Love The Way
She Walked-

With A Light Touch...

And She Came Down.

We Had
Children.

Now Look At It!

A Pitiful, Weakened Banister.

I'll Fix It.

No!

I Don't Want You
To Fix Anything!

If This Banister Sees You
Coming With A Hammer

It Will Run Away.

Call Mr. Lucas.

Ask Him To Come Fix It.

Okay, Dad.

Cliff?

I Hope You're Ready!

Denise Has
News For You!

* I Got My
Driver's License!

* Oh, Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah!

* I Passed My Test!

Oh, Yeah, Yeah,
Yeah, Yeah! *

I Thought I Told You To
Pretend You Couldn't Find

The Department Of
Motor Vehicles!

But She Caught On.

Yes?

Oh, Put Them In The Office.

I'll Be Right There.

I Have To Go Down
To The Office.

Now?

Yes.

We Need

It's Okay.

I'll Wait.

I'll Catch You Later.

What Is It?

It's Okay.

* I Got My License... *

She Wants To
Borrow Your Car.

No, I Think She Wants
To Borrow Your Car.

I Don't Think So.

Why?

It's A Station Wagon.

Do Teenagers Drive
Station Wagons?

I Better Hide My Car.

Two O'clock.

Right, Mr. Lucas,
I'll Tell My Dad.

So, How'd It Go?

* I Got My License! *

All Right!

You Can Take Me Out!

When I Get My Car.

You're Getting A Car?

Mom And Dad Don't Know Yet.

I Found One For $ , .

They'll Never
Give You That.

I Have It.

You Do?

In My Savings.

I Need Their Permission.

I'm Waiting To Ask Them.

Before That

I Think You And I Should Talk

About Responsibility.

Oh?

I Want You To Drive Safely.

Wear Your Seat Belts.

Check The Oil.

And Never Let Anyone In
The Car Who's Been Drinking.

Why Are You Saying This?

You Have To Be Responsible.

If You Mess Up, They'll Never
Let Me Get My Motorcycle.

This Is For You?

It's Important For A Young
Man To Have Wheels.

Why?

Because He Who Walks

Walks Alone.

Well...

Doctor, My Husband, Paul.

Glad To
Meet You.

Thank You.

I Called You Both
Down Here, Mrs. Kenton

Because Of
The Importance

Of The Results
From Your Test.

Everything's Okay,
Isn't It?

Everything's Fine.

You're Pregnant.

How Did It Happen?

Well, You See,
You Have These Two Bees...

I Do Know
How It Happens;

I Just Didn't Know How
I Could Make It Happen.

The Human Male Is Quite
Capable Into His s

And For Some, Beyond.

We're Going To
Have A Baby.

Well, I Didn't Do It.

Donny Will Have A Little
Brother Or Sister.

Donny Is Your Son?

He's .

He Has A Boy Of Five.

Our Child Will Be Younger

Than Our Grandchild.

Yes!

The Uncle Or The Aunt

Will Be Younger
Than Your Grandchild.

The Aunt Or Uncle Will Be
Younger Than The Nephew.

But, That's All Right

Because You Two Will Be
Older Than Everybody!

I Think That We Should
Treat This Case

With A Special Sort Of Manner,
If It's All Right.

I'd Like To Talk
About Appointments...

Forgive Me, Doctor.

I Was Just Thinking...

When I Bend Over To
Pick Up This Child

I May Not Be Able
To Get Upright Again.

Sorry, Doctor, Please Go Ahead.

Now, I Think That
If It's All Right-

Tuesday, A.M.

Fine, Doctor.

Come Along, Mommy.

We'll Have A
Special Celebration.

That's What Got Us Here!

Thank You,
Dr. Huxtable.

We Haven't Had Such A
Good Laugh In Years!

You Should
Laugh More.

What's So Funny?

I Just Told A Couple

They're Going To Have A Baby.

Yes?

Well, She's...

Around Forty-...

And He's About
Fifty-... Years Old!

And So...

When I Told Them, They Got...

And?

And So

I Told Them They
Were Having A Baby.

Yes, And?

I Tried Not...

It Was Funny When I
Was Sitting There.

Great,
Dad's Laughing.

I Say Strike Now.

But Remember, My Future
As A Man Depends On This.

Hi!

Hi.
Hi.

You Look Comfortable.

We Are.

I Want To Talk To You.

You Can't Borrow My Car.

I Don't Want To.

She Wants To Borrow Yours.

I Need Mine.

Not Yours, Either.

I Want My Own.

I'm Glad We're
Sitting Down.

I Found This Great Used
Car For Only $ , .

I Want To Use The Money
In My Savings Account

Since I've Been
So Good At Saving.

You Have Been Good

At Saving?

Yeah.

You've Been Trying
To Get At That Money

Ever Since We
Opened The Account.

I Have Not!

Remember The Time

She Found The Bracelet
At Grendel's?

Called Me On The Phone!

"I Have Found This Bracelet.

Bring Me My Money."

I Changed My Mind.

After I Went And
Changed It For You.

That Was One Time.

Right.

And The Stereo Store?

The Waterbed?

Better Yet-

What About When
The Fish Arrived-

C.O.D. And D.O.A.!

I Was Young Then!

I Really Want This Car.

Really Want It?

Fine.

I'll Take A Look.

Don't Bother.

Monica And I Test Drove It.

What?

You And Monica?

Yeah!

I'll Go Check The Car Out.

Go Ahead

But I've Made My Decision.

Really?

Mom, You Know What He'll Do?

He'll See One Scratch
And Say "No."

Denise, You're Not
Getting This Money

If Dad Doesn't Approve.

Now...

Wait!

It's My Money

And My Account!

I'm Not Asking For Your Money.

I Can Do What I Want.

Are We Still In America?

Hi, Mom And Dad!

Denise, Can I
See You A Second?

Theo!

It's Important.

Wait In The Kitchen.

Do You Want To Go
First, Or Should I?

I Want To Go First.

Okay.

Sit Here.

You're Ready
To Buy This Car

Just Like
The Bracelet

The Waterbed

And The Dead Fish.

Mm-Hm.

Right Now

You Can Do Anything

Because You Know We'll
Always Bail You Out.

Mm-Hm.

Sometimes You Don't
Even Know We Do It.

Mm-Hm.

We Accept That
Responsibility

Because We're Your Parents

And You Better Remember
That, Young Lady.

If You Ever Take This
Attitude Again

You Can Take Whatever Is
In That Bank Account

And Go Discover America.

I'm Sorry.

Ah...

How Much Money Do You Have?

$ , .

After You Pay For The Car

How Much Money Have
You Left In The Bank?

Nothing.

What About Insurance?

I'll Get Some.

A Girl Your Age, Living
In This Neighborhood

Would Have To Spend
At Least $ A Year.

$ ?

Of Your Money...

Of Which You Have
None In The Bank.

And Gas?

You Have To Fill The t*nk.

With Your Money...

Of Which You Have None.

Dad!

What About Oil Changes
And Tires?

I Guess I Didn't Think.

Well, You See, You Mentioned
America A Little Ways Back.

That's What America
Is All About, I Guess-

To Own A Car

And Have No Money, At All

And Just Drive Around
And Bills Are Paid.

And You Just Say:

"Well, Hey, I'm In America."

Loan Me The Money?

I Swear I'll
Pay You Back.

You Already Owe Us $ , .

Well, Come On-

Let's Go Look
At This Car.

Knucklehead.

* I Got My License!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! *

That's Your Child.

This Is A Rickety
Banister.

I Mostly Use
The Back Stairs.

Mr. Lucas, Would You Check
The Back Stairs, As Well?

No Problem.

Well, I Can Fix This.

Great.

But I'll Have To

Take The Banister.

Vanessa, Spread
The Word.

I Don't Want To Find
My Family Balled Up

At The Bottom
Of These Stairs.

Right, Ma.

Yeah, Sure.

Just A Few Minor Adjustments.

How Did It Go?

How Did It Go?

It's A Fine Car

If You Don't
Want To Stop.

Daddy!

Please Get Me Something
To Drink.

Whoa, We're Talking
About A Car Now.

When The Man Saw That She
Brought Her Father, He Said:

"I Can't Find The Keys
For The Car."

So I Said:

"I Can't Find The Money."

So The Man
Found The Keys.

We Get Into The Car.

This Is A Beautiful,
Beautiful Looking Car.

If Denise Is Sitting
In This Car

Her Friends Will Say,
"Look Out, Denise"

Or "Chilly Down,"
Or "Cool Back"

Or Whatever These People Say.

I Put The Key
In The Ignition

Turned The Thing

And It Went...

Dad!

Dad, No!

The Two Of Us Are
Sitting There...

But It's Not Running Yet.

It's Thinking About It.

And The Car-

Just The Right Side Now-

Said...

And She's Sitting There
Like This-

Like She's Dancing.

It Has Not
Started Up Yet.

The Car Has Not Started Up Yet.

I Pressed Down On The Gas.

You Think I'm Lying.

The Car Said, "What?"

I'm Not
Lying.

So I Put The Thing In Reverse.

I Let Go Of The Emergency Brake,
And Pushed Down On The Gas

And The Car Said:

"Oh, You Want To Go Backwards."

So Now We Back Out.

And The Thing Takes Off.

And Now It's Vibrating.

I Mean, This Motor...

I Look In The Rearview Mirror

And Whatever I'm
Going To Run Over

There's Of Them.

She's Sitting There Blaming Me.

"Daddy!"

Okay, Dad, A Few
Minor Adjustments.

How Much Do You Think It Will
Cost To Fix This Car Up?

I Don't Know- $ .

$ !

First, You've Got A
Major Steering Problem.

You Get A New Wheel.

The Wheel Was The Best Thing
On The Car.

Hi, Dr. Huxtable,
Denise.

How Are You?

Hey.

Can I Wash
My Hands?

Oh, Sure.

Look, We'll Go Look
For A Car-

A Nice, Safe, Used Car.

Ugly.

No, It Won't Be.

We'll Look For A Nice,
Safe, Used Car.

Okay.

Are You Looking For A Used Car?

Yes, Mr. Lucas.

Do You Know Someone Who's
Selling A Used Car?

My Aunt Margaret.

It's A Oldsmobile
Starfire-

Mint Condition.

Dad!

Just Cool It A Second.

Does Your Aunt Margaret Know
That She's Selling Her Car?

She Asked Me If I Knew Anybody
That Wanted To Buy It.

It Probably Doesn't
Have A Radio.

I Put One In.

You Did?

Take A Look At It.

Can We?

I Don't See
Why Not.

Cool.

It's Red, With A Silver
Streak Along The Side.

Looks Like
A Rocket.

I Was In A Rocket
That Went Backwards.

Theo, Can I
Have Half?

Rudy, It's Too Hard To Break.

Wait.

Okay, Rudy.

Turn Around
First.

Are You Going
To Eat Something

You Had To Use
A Hammer On?

It's Only Candy.

When You're Finished
Breaking Your Teeth

I Want You
To Brush Them.

Okay.

When Was Your Last
Visit To The Dentist?

I Should Be More
Responsible.

Thank You.

I Think Denise Is Becoming
More Responsible.

You Do?

It Was Smart To Bring Dad
On The Test Drive.

Oh, You Think So?

Absolutely!

It's Important To Include
Your Parents In Big Decisions.

Uh-Huh.

I Want You And Dad
To Be With Me

When I Get My Motorcycle.

No.

I'll Wear
A Helmet.

No.

They Get Great
Mileage.

No!

Oh, Wow!

Dad, I
Love It!

This One's
Vintage.

What Is It?

A Starfire.

Drives Like
A Dream-

Doesn't It,
Dr. Huxtable?

It's Pretty Good.

Dad's Mechanic Says

It's In Excellent
Condition.

This Thing Would
Probably Cost More

Than A New Motorcycle Would.

Theo, No.

Daddy, I Want
This Car.

Are You
Sure?

Yes.

It Looks Good.

Mr. Lucas-

I'd Give Anything
For This Car.

Let Me Handle
It, Okay?

I Want This Car.

But We Want
To Get It

For A Price
You Can Afford.

Denise, Leave It Up To Dad.

When It Comes To
Something We Want

Dad Always Comes
Through For Us.

Theo.

Yeah, Dad?

No.

Dad, Don't
Blow This.

Your Daughter Seems
Fond Of The Car.

Yeah.

What's It Worth?

It's Hard To Say.

What Do You Want For It?

I Want A Fair Price.

I Want To Give It To You.

We Should Have No Problem.

What's Your Fair Price?

What Do You Think Is Fair?

I Think My Daughter Would Be
Happy Paying $ For It.

I Just Hung Up On You.

You Want Me To Dial Again?

I Hope I'm Home.

$ .

I Hear It Ringing.

$ .

Hello.

Nice Doing Business
With You.

Thank You.

I Want To Call
Aunt Margaret.

Congratulations,
You Own A Car.

I Have A Car?

That's So Cool.

Aren't You Interested
In What You Paid For It?

How Much Was It?

$ .

I Made A Great Deal.

Congratulations.

Thank You.

You Have To See This.

It's So Cool.

Your Car Drives Beautifully.

And I Like The
Way You Drive.

Thank You.

I Was Impressed
Especially

When She Pulled Up To
The Four-Way Stop Sign

And Just Let Cars Go-

Even The People Behind You.

It Was Just Wonderful.

You Can Never Be
Too Cautious.

Wait A Minute.

She Must Pass
The Huxtable Quiz.

Young Lady, Question # :

A Friend Of Yours Wants
To Borrow The Car.

Do You Give Her Your Keys?

I Do Not.

Okay.

Let's Say You Are Driving
Down The Street.

You See A Fine Hunk
Of Masculinity.

He's Got A Smile
Like Nat King Cole.

Do You Stop The Car?

I Don't Stop.

Okay, Multiple Choice.

All Right.

Your Car Is In Need
Of A Repair.

Do You:

A) Come To Us For The Money.

B) Find A Way To Get
The Money Yourself.

C) Find A Way To Get
The Money Yourself.

The Money Yourself.

No.

B, C, And D.

Congratulations.

Thank You, Thank You,
Thank You.

Hey, Hey, Hey!

Dad, We Just Got That Repaired.

I'm Just Testing
Mr. Lucas's Work.

Right.

I Need To Talk To You.

Come Ahead.

I Don't Want To
Get A Motorcycle.

You Don't?

I Found A Car
To Buy.

Really?

What?

It's A Ferrari.

A Ferrari?

Dad, It's Hot-

Red With Red Interior.

Star-Type Mag Wheels.

A Ferrari, Son, Has To Run
Around $ - , .

No Problem.

Now...

How Much Money Do You Have
In Your Account?

$ .

Okay, You Expect Me To
Come Up With $ , .

Dad, I Wouldn't Think
Of Having You Help Me.

You Got Me Worried.

Dad, This Is The Car.

This Is A Model
Of A Ferrari.

Got You.

Yes, You Did.

Yes.

I Wanted To Talk To You
About Your Motorbike.

Yeah?

Do You Want To Look At One?

Are You Serious?

No.
