Mommy.

Look! I'm Riding.
I'm Riding.

Put The Brake On.

All Right, Rudy.

Ride That Bike.

Let's Go Again.

No.

I Want To Go Now.

Well, Isn't That Too Bad.

All You're Doing
Is Peddling, My Dear.

I'm Holding
The Seat

And Running Around The Block.

We've Gone Around Here
About Times.

Isn't It Time
You Rode This

Without My Hand
On The Seat?

I Might Fall.

You're Not Going To Fall.

I'll Catch You.

No, You Won't.

Look, You're My Child.

We're Related.

You're My Daughter.

I Love You.

I Will Catch You.

It's More Fun If You Learn
To Ride By Yourself.

That's Right.

I Think Your Problem
May Be Balance.

We Just Have To Learn
How To Balance.

Put Your Foot There.

That's It.

Now Suppose When
You're Riding

I Do Like This
This Way.

What If...

There You Are.

Suppose I Go That...

That's Right.

Keep Your Head Up.

That's It.

Sit Straight.

Try To Balance.

There. Look. See?

Rudy,
That's Good.

Keep
It Up.

Cliff, Don't
Go So Fast.

Shut Up!

Hello, Clair.

Anna Maria!

What A Pleasant
Surprise.

I Have An Appointment
With Dr. Huxtable.

I'm A Little Early.

He's Giving Rudy
Bike-Riding Lessons.

Sit Down.

Thank You.

Let Me Help You.

I Can Do That.

That's All Right.

See? Easy.

Getting Up Is The Problem.

In School, One Of
My Students Helps Me.

How Much Longer?

Three And A Half Weeks.

That's Not Long.

How Is Your Husband Doing?

He Won't Let Me Do Anything.

He Waits On Me Night And Day.

You Know Why?

Guilt.

Really?

They Know You're Uncomfortable,
So They Say To You:

"Honey, If I Could,
I'd Have It For You Myself."

I've Heard That.

I Bet
You Have.

Do They Mean It?

No. No.

He's Going Long.

He's In The End Zone.

Here Comes The Pass...

Touchdown!

The Huxtable/Bradley
Combination

Wins The Super Bowl
In The Final Seconds.

Hi, Mrs. Westlake.

Hi.

Is That The Way You
Always Treat Your Books?

No, Mrs. Westlake.

Today Was
The First Time.

I Hope One Of Those
Is Your Math Book.

Yeah, This Is It.

I Can't See Yours,
Walter.

Well, Uh...

I Thought I'd
Study Off Theo's.

Walter And I Are Studying
For Tomorrow's Big Test.

Study Would Be Helpful.

Are There Things We Should
Study More Than Others?

Yes.

We Thought We'd Concentrate
On Parallelograms

And The Pythagorean
Theorem.

Along With Other Things.

Like Complementary
And Supplementary Angles?

Yes, Along With Other Things.

In Other Words,
Study Everything.

Good Idea.

Let's Go.

Okay.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Son.

Hi, Walter.

Hi, Mom.

I Said
I'm Sorry.

I Said
I'm Sorry.

Mommy!

Yes, What's
The Matter?

Daddy Made Me Fall.

I Didn't Make Her Fall.

I Tried To Catch Her.

You Missed!

Cliff!

Don't "Cliff" Me.

The Child Was Riding The Bike.

I Had My Hand Behind Her.

I Let Go
And She Just Went Right On-

Nobody Touching Her-

And She's Riding Around
For Two Blocks.

"Look How Well
You're Doing"

And She Looked

And Then She And The Bike
Just Went Down.

Are You
All Right?

No.

I Checked The Woman Out.

She's Fine.

I Cut My Hand.

There's No Cut There.

Oh, I See That Tiny,
Itty-Bitty Cut.

Oh, Stop It.
There's Nothing There.

I'm So
Sorry.

Mommy, May I Have A Band-Aid?

Will It Help?

Yes.

Okay, Let's Go.

Can You Put Two?

I Think One
Will Be Enough.

Rudy, I Hope
You Get Better.

Thank You.

When I Fell, I Was
Going Real Fast.

Are You Ready For One Of Those?

I Want A House
Full Of Children.

That Way You'll Appreciate The
House More When They're Gone.

How Are You Feeling?

Very, Very Good.

I Don't Think This
Checkup Is Necessary.

I Do Because I Need The Money.

Now Come On.

So We Just
Take Precautions.

Precautions?

If The Baby's Movement Increases
Or Intensifies

Or It Starts To Breakdance

Then I Want You To
Call Me Immediately.

I'd Like You To
Stay Home For A Few Days.

What About My Teaching?

Do You Have To?

I'm Giving A Test Tomorrow.

Can't Someone Give
The Test For You?

I Need To Be There So That

When My Students Look Up
From The Test, They See...

Okay.

If You Promise Me
You'll Stay Off Your Feet.

Promise.

And You'll Call Me Immediately
If The Baby Starts...

Breakdancing.

There You Go.

What If It Starts Singing?

We'll Put It In Show Business.

You Let Go!

You Told Me To.

I'm Going To Tell Mom.

Go Ahead.

You're A Frog Face!

You're A Turtle Head.

You're A Bigger Turtle Head!

Have Just One.

Mom!

Yes?

Come Here.

What Is It?

Just Come Here.

I'm Busy.

It's Important.

So Come Down Here.

My Life Is Over.

What Happened?

This.

You Got A Pimple.

Is It That Big?

No, I Could Barely See It.

But You Did See It.

You Pointed It Out.

A Pimple?

A Pimple!

My Beauty Has Ended.

My Life
Is Over.

Stop.

Let Me See.

No.

I Want To See.

What Am I
Going To Do?

Put A Band-Aid
On It.

It's Only In
The Middle Of Your Forehead.

Tell People
You're A Unicorn.

I Remember A Certain
Person Who Got A Pimple

Locked Herself
In Her Bedroom

And Closed
The Curtains.

At Least I'm Not Hiding.

Has Robert Seen It?

Mom, I Can't Let Robert
See Me This Way!

I Want Him To Remember Me
The Way I Was.

Vanessa,
Vanessa!

You're Growing Up.

You Have Hormones
Jumping Up And Down.

Your Body's
Changing.

Sometimes You'll
Get A Blemish.

In The Middle Of Your Forehead.

I'm Kidding.

Come With Me.

There Are Ways Of
Living With A Pimple.

What Are You
Going To Do?

Nothing.

I Swear It Will Look Good
And It Will Be Painless.

What's Happening?

Pimple.

Who?

Vanessa.

What Are We Going To Do?

Bust It.

An Acute
Triangle.

What About It?

What Is It?

A Cute Triangle Is A Triangle
That Looks Good.

Cockroach, Get Serious.

Okay.

An Acute Triangle
Has Three Acute Angles.

You Got It.

Good. Let's Quit.

We Can't Quit.

We Haven't Gotten
To The Hard Stuff Yet.

Give Me The Theorem For
The Centroid Of A Triangle.

The Centroid Is The Point Of
Concurrency Of The Medians.

What Is The Median?

Forget It.

Cockroach

I Guarantee Mrs. Westlake
Will Ask This.

The Medians Are Points

And Something About A Vertex
On The Opposite Side.

This Might Help.

Read It And
Explain It To Me.

"The Medians Of A Triangle
Are Concurrent At A Point

"Whose Distance From Any Vertex
Is Two-Thirds The Distance

From That Vertex To The Midpoint
Of The Opposite Side."

What Does It Mean?

I Don't Know, And
I Really Don't Care.

You Were Getting It.

You Can't Go.

We're Not Through
Studying Yet.

See This Coat?
I'm Through.

You Were Getting It.

I Don't Want
To Get It.

What's The Matter?

I Don't Care About
The Size Of...

What Do You Mean?

You Don't Care
About My Furniture?

Rubbing It Is Not Going
To Help Anything.

Sorry, Dr. Huxtable.

That's All Right.

What Don't You Care About?

The Circumference Of A Circle

Or Complementary And
Supplementary Angles.

He Was Getting It.

He's Just Frustrated.

That's Because This Stuff
Is Worthless.

When Will I Ever Use This
In The Real World?

Walter, You Are Going To Need
Math In The Real World.

No, I Won't.

Why?

Because I'll Inherit My Dad's
Scrap Iron Business.

You're Going To Need Math

Because You'll Have To
Count The Money.

We Have An Accountant
Who Does That.

You'll Have To Have Someone
Weigh The Metal.

We Have A Foreman.

Then You're Going To Be Broke.

What Do You Mean?

If The Foreman
And The Accountant Can Count

And You Can't

You're Going To Be Broke.

Good One, Dad.

Thank You.

All Right, I'll Study

But I Don't Think It's Fair.

Mrs. Westlake Assigns
More Homework

Than Any Of The Other Teachers.

She Thinks Math Is
The Only Subject

In The
World.

When We Take A Test,
She Stands There Grinning.

The More We Sweat,
The More She Loves It.

Huxtable Residence.

Mrs. Westlake?

Yeah, Hold On.

Hi, Mrs. Westlake.

Oh? Breakdancing?

Okay, Is Your Husband There?

Would You Have Him Drive You
To The Emergency Room?

I'll Meet You There.

Thank You.

What's Going On?

Mrs. Westlake's Having
Some Complications

So I'm On My Way

To The
Hospital.

Is It Serious?

I Don't Know Yet.

Tell Mom Where I Went.

Okay.
Bye, Dad.

Bye, Dr. Huxtable.

See You Later, Scrap Iron.

Whoa.

What Do You
Think It Is?

I Don't Know.

Maybe She's Having
The Baby Early.

Maybe We Won't Have
That Test Tomorrow.

Cockroach!

I'm Worried About Her, Too

But We Shouldn't Study If We're
Not Going To Have The Test.

You're Talking About
Mrs. Westlake.

She Could Have
The Baby Tonight

And Still Show Up Tomorrow
To Give The Test.

Are You Warm Enough?

Would You Like
Another Blanket?

Would You Like
An Extra Pillow?

Jack.

Yes.

Knock It Off.

If You Could Be
A Little More Nervous

I Might Calm Down.

Jack, It's A Simple Operation.

I'm Just Having The Baby
Earlier Than We Thought.

All Right.

Hello.

How We Doing?

I'm Fine.
I Don't Know About Him.

I'll Make It.

You'll Make It.

We're Ready To Go
Down To The O.R.

Remember
What I Said?

There Will Be
A Curtain Here.

You Work From
This Side Up, Right?

I Work From
This Side Down.

If You Peek
Over Here...

I'll Pass Out.

There You Go.

Now, Nurse

Will You Take
Mr. Westlake

To The O.R.?

Yes, Doctor.

I'll See You
In A Few Minutes.

He's Cute.

Nervous.

Now How Are You Really Feeling?

I'm Not Worried.

You're Here.

Good, Because I Have Something
Important To Talk About.

What?

I Understand You're Giving
A Math Test Tomorrow?

I Don't
Think

The Math Test
Will Be Tomorrow.

Okay, Good.

But When You Give It

I Would Like My Son
To Get An "A."

See, He's
Trying To...

Get Into Harvard

And If He Got An "A" From You...

I Don't Want To
Put Pressure On You.

I'm Hip To What You're Saying.

Uh-Huh.

But I Cannot Do That.

Theodore Must Earn His "A"
Like Everyone Else-

By Giving Me Cash.

Now You're Talking.

Hi.

Hi.

Why Don't You Put Sugar
In Your Drink Sometime?

Nice Night.

Yes

So I Left The Car
At The Hospital

And Walked
Home.

And Usually When You Walk Home

That Means You Are Very Happy

Because Things
Have Gone Very Well.

I'm Good.

Cliff

I Know You're Good.

What Did Anna Have?

I Am Good.

As A Matter Of Fact

I'm Going To
Back Away From Good.

I Am Amazing.

Uh-Huh.

And I Am So Amazing

That Jack And Anna
Had A Lovely Baby Girl.

Oh.

Named Gabriella
Antonia Westlake.

Oh, That's Nice.

Yes.

And Dr. Schaffer
Looked At Me, And Said

"You're Amazing."

Cliff...

As A Matter Of Fact

It Happens Every Time.

To Feel That Baby In My Hands

And Then Realize That
As Amazing As I Am

I'm Just...

A Helper.

Dad, You're Back.

Yes.

What Happened,
Dr. Huxtable?

Well, She Had A Baby Girl.

All Right. Great.

How Are They?

Just Fine.

All Right.

Um, Did She Say Anything
About A Test Tomorrow?

I Don't Think She Can
Give A Test Tomorrow.

Oh.

Well, She Has To Stay Home
And Take Care Of The Baby.

She'll Be Gone
For The Rest Of The Year?

That Means We'll Have
A Substitute?

Well, I Don't Have Anything
To Do With That

But I Would Imagine So.

Thanks, Dad.

Yeah, Thanks.

Hey!

How Did It Go?

Fantastic!

No One Even Knew
I Had A Pimple.

I Told You.

Everyone Loved This Headband

And Robert Said
It Was Hot.

I've Decided To Wear
A Different Headband Everyday.

Yeah?

Mm-Hmm.

Hey, I See Something
On The End Of Your Nose.

No!

You Can Always
Wear A Veil.

What's The Matter?

I Think She
Has A Pimple.

Is She Trying To Outrun It?

Daddy, You Don't Have To
Hold Me Anymore.

Was That Our Daughter
Who Just Went By?

Yes, It Was.

How Did
She Learn

To Ride Like That?

I Told Her What To Do

And She
Did It.

Told Her What To Do?

That's Right.

How Did You Do It?

I'm Good.

You Are Good?

No... I'm Amazing.

Why Don't You Stop It?

Daddy.

Want To See Me Ride?

How Can Your Mother

Just Stand Here
And Tell You What To Do

And You Go Whizzing By

And I Have To Run
With My Hand On The Seat

For , Miles?

Mom's Good.

Thank You Very Much.

I'm Going To Ride To The Park.

By Yourself?

Yes.

No,
You're Not.

You're Not Going
To The Park By Yourself.

You Must Be Accompanied By An Adult.

Will You Accompany Me?

Yes, I Will
Accompany You.

Want Me To Go, Too?

No, That's
All Right.

Thank You.

Bye, Mom.

Hey, Dad.

How Was It Today?

Unbelievable.

Really?

I Saw Something Today
That I Will Never Forget.

What's That?

Since Mrs. Westlake Wasn't There

We Had A Substitute.

A Nice Man-
Mr. Baker.

When Class Started,
Mr. Baker Said

Mrs. Westlake Would Miss
The Rest Of The Year

And He Postponed The Test
Till Tomorrow.

Okay.

That Was A Big Mistake.

Uh-Oh.

Kids Started
Laughing And Talking.

One Guy Started
Playing The Radio

This Poor Man Was Reviewing
Material For A Test Tomorrow

And There Was A Party Going On.

Then It Happened.

What?

Cockroach,
Dad.

Cockroach Gets Up And Says,
"You Guys Make Me Sick.

We Are Mrs. Westlake's Class,
And Look How We're Behaving."

Cockroach?

Walter.

He Said

"This Woman Worked Hard All Year
To Teach Us Something

"And We Won't Let Her Down.

"To Show Her We Care

"I Want Everyone
To Go Home Tonight And Study.

"Study Like You've Never Studied Before.

"We'll Get The Best Grades
We've Ever Gotten

So She'll Be Proud
She Was Our Teacher."

And, Dad, He Said

"If I Find Out Any Of You
Didn't Give %

You'll Have To Answer To Me."

Then He Said To Mr. Baker,
"Mr. Baker, You Got It."

Walter?

Walter, Dad.

Scrap Iron?

You Got It.

What Got Into Him?

I Guess He Likes
Being Part Of The Class

Even Though He Doesn't
Do Any Of The Work.

I'm Going In To Start Studying.

For Mrs. Westlake?

No.

I Don't Want To Have To
Answer To Cockroach.

Well, How Are We Feeling?

Excellent.

Good.

Did You See My Baby Today?

After I Take Them Out

They Go To
A Different Department.

You Have Seen A Lot Of Babies

But Tell Me The Truth-

Isn't Gabriella
The Most Beautiful Baby

You've Ever Seen In Your Life?

Yes, But Please Don't Tell
Mrs. Huxtable I Said That.

When Can I Take Her Home?

Uh, Tomorrow Will Be Fine.

Okay.

In The Meantime

Could You Stand To See
A Guest Or Two?

Sure.

Who?

Come In.

Hi, Mrs. Westlake.

Hi, Mrs. Westlake!

What A Wonderful Surprise!

We Wanted To Say Thank You

And We'll Miss You
And All That Stuff.

Thank You.

This Is
For You.

It's A Parallelogram.

Oh, Beautiful.

Thank You.

We All Signed It.

Yeah, I Can See It.

You Know What?

I Will Put This
In The Baby's Room

So She Can See
What A Wonderful Class I Had.

And So She Can Learn
What A Parallelogram Is.

Thank You.

That's It.
You Guys Are A Fire Hazard.

Bye, Mrs. Westlake.

Walter, I Want To Talk To You.

Ooh.
Whoa!

All Right, All Right.
This Is A Hospital.


Nice Knowing You.

Shh.

Come Here.

Yes, Mrs. Westlake?

Walter, Mr. Baker Told Me
What You Said In The Class.

I Want To Say Thank You.

You're Welcome, Mrs. Westlake.

Walter.

Yes.

Why?

You See...

I Don't Know.

It Just Wasn't Your Class.

They Had The Radio...

It Just Wasn't Your Class.

It Just...

Hey.

Goodbye, Cockroach.

Goodbye, Mrs. Westlake.
