03x15 - Say Hello to a Good Buy

Post by bunniefuu »

Hmm. That's Interesting.

When Are You Going To Sleep?

In A Minute.

This Is An Article About
What Makes A Happy Marriage.

Hmm.

At The End Of The Article
There's A Quiz.

Oh, No.

Let's Take The Quiz.

No.

It Will Be Fun.

I Don't Want To Take A Quiz.

I'm Already Happily Married.

That Quiz Will
Mess Up My Marriage.

Are You Afraid We'll Find Out
We Don't Have A Happy Marriage?

Question
Number One:

"What Would You Change
About Your Mate?"

Nothing.

Are You Saying I'm Perfect?

Absolutely.

It Says
If Your Spouse Says "Nothing"

He Or She May Have
Something To Hide.

That's Wrong, And They Lie.

There Must Be Something About Me
You'd Change.

Well... Let Me Sleep On It.

I'll Make A List In The Morning.

Here's What I'd Change
About You:

Sometimes When You Eat

You Put Your Fork In Your Mouth
Sideways

And It Scrapes Your Teeth.

I Don't
Like That.

I'm Sorry.

I Won't Do It Again.

Now It's Your Turn.

I Don't Have Anything.

Then I'll Go Again.

You Will?

Yes, I Will.

Okay.

Ah...

I Wish That There Were
Two Of You

Instead Of Just One.

Cliff,
That Is Very Sweet.

Are You Trying To Say
That One Of Me Is Not Enough?

I'm Trying To Say
I Wish There Were Two Of You

Because If One Started To Act
The Way You Act Now

I'd Roll Over
And Sleep With
The Other One.

Hey, Dad.

How You Doing?

Is Something Wrong?

We're Going To Have To
Get Rid Of The Station Wagon.

Betty Lou?

Yeah.

I Came Out Of The Hospital
And Got Into Her.

She Wouldn't Start Up.

I Got Out, Went Around Front
And Lifted Up The Hood.

I Was Looking.

Dr. Quinn Came Out.

He Said:

"You're Fooling Around With
That Thing Again, Dr. Huxtable?

Why Don't You Get A Tow Truck
And Have It Towed Away Forever?"

I Know That Betty Lou Heard Him

Because Her Windshield
Started To Mist.

I Took The Wiper Blade

And I Wiped The Little Tears
Off The Windshield.

You've Had Betty Lou
For Years.

Good Years, Too.

Years Of Sleet, Snow...

Snow?! Blizzards!

I'd Be On The Road
On My Way To Deliver A Baby

And Snowplows Would See
Betty Lou Coming

And They Would Pull Over
To The Side As If To Say:

"Betty Lou, Lead The Way."

There Were Times When
The Gauge Read "Empty"

And She Went Another Miles
On Fumes!

Oh, Betty Lou...

Dad...

You Have To Move On.

Yeah.

I Guess I Have To
Get Another Car.

Mom's Wanted You To Get Rid Of
Betty Lou For A Long Time.

Your Mother Has Always
Been Jealous Of Her.

Are You Going To Get
Another Station Wagon?

Yup.

Before You
Do That

I Have An Idea.

What's That?

I Don't Think A Station Wagon
Is The Way To Go.

Really?

The Family's Not
That Big Anymore.

Denise And Sondra
Are At College.

I'll Be In College Soon.

You're Saying I Should
Get Something Smaller.

A Sedan?

I Had Something Else
In Mind.

Like What?

Ohh...
"X-K-Y ."

Yeah.

Whoa..!

Does This Woman
Lying On The Hood
Come With The Car?

No, Dad.

This Is A Sports Car.

Dad, This Sports Car Goes From
Zero To In . Seconds.

Think How Fast You Can Get
To The Hospital

And Deliver
Those Babies.

You're Thinking
It's A Two-Seater.

Yes.

Vanessa Doesn't Go That Many
Places With Us Anymore.

And If You Let Me Drive

Mom Could Sit
On Your Lap.

What Do We Do With Rudy?

There's A Storage Space
Behind The Seats.

Just Slide Her In There.

Let Me
See This...

No... Better.

There's A Luggage Rack
On The Trunk.

We Could Put Her
On The Luggage Rack

And Strap Her Down.

Are You Teasing Me?

Yes.

I'm Going To Get
A Station Wagon.

What About The "X-K-Y"?

You Can Get An "X-K-Y"
When You Get The Do-Re-Mi.

One... Two... Three... Four...

Vanessa?

One Second.

What's Up?

I Need To Borrow A Ruler
To Do My Report.

Okay. It's On The Desk.

What's Your
Report About?

Mammals, Reptiles
And Birds.

Can I Read It?

No.

Why Not?

If I Show You,
You'll Say It's Wrong.

I Promise I Won't Say Anything.

Well... Okay.

Okay.

Mm-Hmm.

Mm-Hmm.

Well?

"Well" What?

What Do You Think?

I Promised
Not To Say Anything.

Tell Me. I Want To Know.

Do You Want Nice
Or Honest?

Honest.

It Stinks.

It Does Not Stink!

I'm Sorry, Rudy.
You Wanted Honest.

Okay, Tell Me What's Wrong.

The Animals You Drew--
They're Way Off.

Under "Mammals"
You Drew A Duck.

That's Not A Mammal.

That's Not A Duck.

What Is It?

It's A Giraffe.

Rudy, No One's Going To Think
That's A Giraffe.

I'm Only Seven.

That's No Excuse.

You're Hiding Behind Your Age.

I Can't Draw.

Rudy, I'll Help

But Did Your Teacher Say
You Had To Draw?

No.

Find Pictures Of Mammals
And Birds, Cut Them Out

And Paste Them Onto The Page.

Underneath The Picture,
Write The Name Of The Animal.

Do It Neatly

Because Teachers Love Neatness.

I Have To Start All Over?

It's Up To You.

You Can Be An "A" Student,
Or Miss Sloppy Pig.

I Want An "A."

If You Like, I'll Look It Over
When You're Through.

You Think
I'm Coming Back Here?

I Understand.
This Is The Price.

Yes, I'll Stand Firm On It.

Thank You, Bruce.
Bye-Bye.

Dad, Aren't You Going To
Get Ready?

I Am Ready.

Dressed Like That?

I'm Dressed Like This

Because When You Negotiate
The Price Of A Car

You Can't Go In Looking
Like You Have A Lot Of Money.

But The Price Of The Car
Is Already On The Sticker.

That's The "Suggested
Retail Price."

I'm Going To Go In
And Negotiate With The Salesman

On What Will Be
The Actual Price.

How Do You Know What To Offer?

I Talked To Dr. Bruce Bolden

Who Knows All About Cars
And Also Happens To Be Cheap.

Okay.

Is There Anything I Can Do
To Help?

Yes. You Cannot Let
Anyone Know I'm A Doctor.

Okay.

If They Find Out
I'm A Doctor

The Man Will Lose
All Flexibility

In Determining The Price.

Okay, Mr. Huxtable.
Am I Still Your Son?

No.

You Will Always
Be My Son.

Thanks, Dad.

Will I Still
Be Your Father?

No.

We Handle More Cars

Than Any Dealership
In This Area.

I've Never Seen
So Many Cars.

We've Got
Five Miles Of Cars.

I'm Ready To Move
Every One Of Them.

Have A Seat.

Thank You,
Mr. Sarrette.

Please, Call Me Davis.

Now, That Station Wagon
You Were Looking At--

Wasn't It A Beauty?

That's The Most
Popular Model.

Even The Color
You Wanted, Dad.

Looks Like Junior Approves.

Junior Doesn't Have
Money To Pay For It.

That's True,
But I'm Glad You Brought Him

Because Children
Are Truly Wonderful.

Most Of Them.

I've Got Three
Beautiful Daughters.

She's .

This One's Eight.

Check The Little Baby Out--
Seven Years Old.

Look At That
Little Crooked Smile.

She'll Need Braces Pretty Soon.

( Ring )

Excuse Me.

Hello?

Hi, Dear.

It's My Wife.

$ ? Ouch!

Well, Pay The Man.
We've Got To Have Heat.

Yes, Ma'am.

Can't Have The Children
Freezing This Winter.

I Love You, Too.
Bye-Bye.

$ Here, $ There...

As Soon As I Make It,
It's Gone.

Do You Have
Any More Children?

I Have Four Daughters
And A Son.

I Know Exactly
What You Mean.

There's Two Of Them
In College.

The Others
Have Braces.

I Don't Have
Any Clothes

Because I Spend Everything
Dressing Him.

Must Be Quite Expensive
Raising A Large Family.

Oh, Yeah.

May I Ask What You Do
For A Living?

Yes. I Work.

Don't We All?

Where?

Where?
Huh?

Hard.

Doing What?

What Difference Does It Make
As Long As You Work Hard?

What Does Your Father Do
That's So Hard?

I Wouldn't Want
To Do It.

Let's Take Your New Car
For A Test Drive.

My New Car?

I'm A Salesman And A Seer.

I See You In That Car.

Can You Also See Me
Getting A Good Deal?

A Great Deal.

All Right!

Dr. Huxtable!

"Doctor"?

Dr. Huxtable!

It's Good To See You,
Doctor.

Hello, Mr. Babbitt.

What Are You
Doing Here?

I'm Having My Car Serviced.
What About You?

I Came To Buy
A Station Wagon.

A Station Wagon?!
With Your Money?!

What Are These Clothes
You're Wearing?

I Go Into
This Guy's Office.

He Wears Designer
Sweaters--

One Of His Sweaters

Costs More Than
My Whole Wardrobe.

How's Mrs. Huxtable?

Oh... So-So.

I Heard She Was
Made A Partner

In Her
Law Firm.

Now... What Did
You Say You Do?

Hey, Rudy,
How's It Going?

I'm Almost Finished.

Already?
That Was Fast.

This Is Good.

You Like It?

Yeah. These Pictures
Are Great.

Where Did You
Get Them?

Out Of These Books.

These Books?

Yeah.

The Encyclopedia?

Yeah.

Dad's "Audubon Book
Of Birds"?

The One Mom Gave Him
For His Birthday?

That One Had Lots
Of Good Pictures In It.

You Just Ruined Some
Very Valuable Books.

You Told Me
To Cut Out Pictures.

Not Out Of Books.
Out Of Magazines.

You Didn't Say Magazines.

That Is What I Meant.

You Didn't Say That.

It Doesn't Matter.

You Are In Major Trouble.

So Are You.

Me?

It's Your Fault.

Dad Left You In Charge.

You're The One Who
Cut Out The Pictures!

You're The One Who Left Me Alone
With Scissors.

Hey!

Got The Shoes I Wanted
And On Sale.

Vanessa's In Trouble.

I Am Not.

What's Wrong?

Vanessa Told Me

To Cut Pictures
Out Of These Books.

Vanessa!

I Just Told Her To Find Pictures
Of Mammals And Birds.

Did You Tell Her Where
To Find The Pictures?

No.

You Should Have.

Why Is Everyone Blaming Me?!

Dad Left You In Charge.

I'm Only .

Dad's Not Going To Buy That.

Daddy Only Put Me In Charge
Because You Weren't Here.

I Have Friends To See
And Shopping To Do.

I Can't Spend All My Time Here.

We Need To Be Supervised.

I've Spent Half My Life
Baby-Sitting You.

I'm In College Now.

Mom And Dad Are Paying For It.

What's That Got
To Do With Anything?

You Should Be
Paying Them Back

By Taking
Care Of Us.

It's Your Fault, Too!

It Is Not.

Let's Not Argue, Okay?

Dad Will Settle This
When He Gets Home.

And You Two
Are In Big Trouble.

You Have To Admit

That Was Probably
The Smoothest Ride

You've Ever Had
In A Station Wagon.

What Will You Sell The Car For?

Well, You Saw The Price
On The Sticker.

All Right.

My Mind Is
Like A Prairie--

It's Wide Open.

Give Me A Suggestion.

Are We Going
To Write It

On A Piece
Of Paper?

Uh-Huh.

I'm Dealing With A Pro.

Give This Back To Me
When You're Done Writing.

I'm Done.

You're Joking, Right?

You're Kidding Me.

Your Father's
Playing With Me, Right?

You Have A Joke?

I Certainly Do.

Is It Funnier Than Mine?

It's Hilarious.

You'll Love This One.

Cliff:
Uh-Huh.

You Only Took $ Off.

But I'll Give You That
Rear Window Defroster For Free.

I Don't Need A Rear
Window Defroster.

I Have Junior.

When I Drive In The Car

And The Rear Window
Frosts Up

I Stop And I Say,
"Junior"-- He's Out.

This Is
My Best Offer.

You'll Have To
Come Up Some.

This Price Includes
My Trade-In.

What Trade-In?

I Have A Car Out Here.

Let Me Look.

This Could
Change Everything.

All Right.

I Don't See Nothing But An Old,
Abandoned Station Wagon.

I'll Have To Add $
To The Price

To Tow That Thing
Off My Lot.

I See You're Attached To Her,
And I Am A Sentimental Guy

So I'll Give You
A Respectable Price.

Add $ To Your Final Offer,
We Got A Deal.

One Hundred.

It's Going To Take At Least .

Two Hundred.

Three Hundred.

Two.

You Can't Afford
Another Hundred?

No, Sir.

I'm Sorry.

As Much I'd Like To Make
This Deal, I Can't.

Okay. Well, Thank You,
Mr. Sarrette.

We Certainly
Appreciate Your Time.

Are We Really Leaving?

Yes.

Sarrette:
Wait, Wait,
Wait, Wait.

You Mean You'd Walk Out
This Door Over $ ?

Yes, Sir.

I'll Tell You What.

You Know You're Making Me
Work Hard Here.

I'll Meet You Halfway.
Fifty.

You Have A Deal.

All Right, We Did It!

Ow!

Vanessa:
Hi, Dad.

Hi. What Have We Here?

We Thought We'd Do
Something Special.

How Nice!

Dad, Sit Down.

Talk To Us.

So, How Did It Go
With The Car?

Well, Fine.

We Have A Brand-New Station
Wagon Tomorrow Morning.

Splendid!

Oh, Thank You.

Would You Care
For An Appetizer?

An Appetizer?

Oh, My Goodness.

It Is Antipasto,
Dad.

Your Favorite.

My... Mmm, Mmm, Mmm!

Cliff:
Well...

What's Blown Up
Or On Fire?

Nothing.

Don't Say "Nothing."

Something's Wrong.

What Have You Blown Up,
What's Burned Up

Or What Have You Flushed
Down The Toilet By Mistake?

We Were Saving That
Till After Dinner.

No, I Want
To Hear About It Now.

Okay. See, Rudy
Was Given This Assignment

Where She Had To Find Pictures
Of Reptiles, Mammals And Birds.

Cliff:.
Mm-Hmm.

She Drew Some Pictures.

They Weren't Good Enough.

I Suggested She Find
Some Nice Photographs.

So I Cut Up Your Books.

What Books?

Page .

And...

And?!

This One, Too.

Pages To .

Is This Dinner Any Good?

Yes.

What Are We Having?

Chicken.

The Same Chicken
That Was In This Book?
