03x16 - Denise Gets an Opinion

Post by bunniefuu »

( Telephone Ringing )

I Got It.

It's For Me.

It's My Date.

Huxtable Residence.

Yeah, He's In.

Just A Second, Please.

Hee Hee Hee!

Hello?

Jerry. Yes.

Don't Stay On Long.

No, No.

That Wasn't My Nurse.
That Was My Daughter.

She's Home From College
For The Weekend.

You Want To Make
The Rounds With Me?

Sure You Can.

You're My Favorite Med Student.

Sure.

Meet Me At My House.

Okay. See You Then, Partner.

( Doorbell )

El Roberto!

How Are You?

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

Is Vanessa Here?

Yes, Yes, Yes.

She's In The Kitchen
With Tyrone And Aaron.

I Haven't Seen You
In A While.

After Vanessa And I Broke Up

I Decided Not To
Come Around For A While.

I Knew The Shock Of The Breakup
Would Be Rough

On You And
Mrs. Huxtable.

Yes. Well, That's Very
Considerate Of You.

Thank You For Giving Us
Time To Get Over It.

Where Is
Mrs. Huxtable?

She's Still At Church
Doing Some Committee Work.

That's Nice.

You Mind If I Sit Down?

Go Ahead.

From What I've Seen

You And Mrs. Huxtable
Have A Beautiful Relationship.

I Hope You Appreciate It.

Yes, We Do, And Thank You
For Being Concerned.

I'd Love To Have
A Marriage Like Yours Someday

But I Doubt I Ever Will.

Son, How Old Are You?

Thirteen.

Yes, Well,
First Things First.

Before Marriage,
I Think What's Important

Is For You To Get A Job.

You're Right, Dr. Huxtable,
But As A Great Man Once Said:

"A Lonely Man
Is Only Half A Man."

Dr. Huxtable, I Really Need
Guidance With My Life.

What Kind Of Guidance?

I Was Going Steady With Debbie

But Stephanie And I
Made A Pact

That If She Broke Up With Todd
And I Broke Up With Debbie

We Would
Go Steady.

So Todd Broke Up
With Stephanie

And I Went Steady With Her
Until Amy's Party

And After I Danced With Amy

I Knew That
She Was For Me

Because Stephanie
Was A Sagittarius

And I Was A Libra.

That's Why I Was Surprised
When Amy Broke Up With Me

Because She's A Capricorn
And I'm A Libra.

We Should Have Been
Cosmically In Synch.

Well, I Think You Probably Threw
All The Planets Out Of Synch

Because You Had Too Many Women.

That's A Good One.

That's A Good One?

I Needed That Laugh.

Well, Good.

Uh, Robert...

Yeah?

Vanessa Is In The Kitchen

With Tyrone And Aaron.

Why Don't You Join Them?

Oh, I'm In No Rush.

I'd Rather Stay Out Here
With You And Talk Life.

My Planets Are In Synch.

And I Have To Go To Work.

Oh.

Okay, All Right.

Okay.

Robert?

Oh, Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

I Thought Everybody
Went To The Movie.

Why Are You Here?

I Felt Like Doing Some Dishes.

Are You Having Trouble
At Home, Son?

No. No, That's Not It.

It's Your Daughter,
Dr. Huxtable.

I Thought
I Was Over Her.

But Seeing Her
With Tyrone And Aaron

Brought Back The Pain--

Twice
The Pain.

I'm Dying Inside.

Really?

That's Why I Stayed Behind.

I Wanted To Talk With Someone

Who Would Be Sensitive
To My Sorrow.

Can I Get You
Something To Drink?

I'm Too Young.

Apple Juice, Boy!

Oh!

Dr. Huxtable, You Know Vanessa.

I Want Her Back.
Could You Talk To Her?

Sure.

I'll Tell Her,
"Robert's Dying Inside."

That Would Be Nice.

If She Says,
"I Won't Go Back"

I'll Throw Her Out.

No, That Isn't What
I'm Trying To Say.

What Are You Trying To Say?

Why Don't You Tell Her
How You Feel?

I Didn't Think I Had To.

Really?

We've Always
Been In Tune

With Each Other.

I Thought She'd
Sense My Vibrations.

Robert, I Think You Need
To Stop Vibrating So Much...

And You Have To Start
Communicating.

You're Right.

This Is A Big Help.

Thank You For Being So Generous
With Your Wisdom.

I'll Pay You Back.

Uh-Uh.

Hey, Robert.

Hey.

Why Are You Here?

Just Visiting.

Oh. Where's Vanessa?

At The Movies.

I Talked With Your Dad

But He Went Out For Air.

Well, It's Good To See You.

Theo.

I Need To
Talk To You.

What's Up?

I've Got A Date.

I've Never Met Him,
So I Need Your Help.

You Do?

He Goes To School In Boston

And Some Friends Thought
We'd Get Along Perfectly.

We Exchanged Phone Numbers

And We've Been Calling
Long Distance--

But You
Never Know.

So You Meet Him,
And Tell Me Your Opinion.

Once You Date Him,
You'll Have Your Own Opinion.

I Might Be Wrong,
Because He'll Try And Impress Me

But Around You,
He'll Be Himself.

I Can Give You My Opinion, Too.

Right.

Will You Do It?

Sure.
No Problem.

Come Upstairs And
Give Me Your Report.

No, When You
Come Down

Ask Me What The Weather's Like.

If I Like Him,
I'll Give A Good Report.

If I Don't,
I'll Give A Bad One.

Okay.

When's He
Coming?

About An Hour.

Thanks.

Well, We've
Got An Hour.

Time Enough...

For Us To Have A Talk
About Love And Life.

Let's Go Play Basketball.

We Can't Talk
If We're Playing Basketball.

I Know.

( Doorbell )

Hey!

Jerry!

Dr. Huxtable.
How Are You?

My Favorite Med Student.

You're Early.

This Is The First Time
I've Made Rounds.

I Didn't Want
To Be Late.

All Right.
Give Me Your Coat.

Wait A Minute.
Where's Your Tie?

You Didn't Mention A Tie.

Listen, The First Thing
You Learn As A Med Student--

When You're Making The Rounds,
Wear A Tie.

I'll Get One.

No, No, No.

I Have Just The
Right Thing For You.

I Have A Tie--

The One I Used To Wear
When I Was A Resident

But It's Lucky.

I'll Get It
For You.

Make Yourself At Home.

If You See Mrs. Huxtable's
Pocketbook, Don't Go Through It.

That Was A Cool Jump Shot.

Thanks, Man.

Not As Good
As Mine, Though.

How Ya Doing?

How Ya Doing?

I'm Theo,
Denise's Brother.

This Is Robert.

We Heard You
Were Coming Over.

We've Looked Forward
To Meeting You.

Have You Been
Waiting Long?

No, I Just
Got Here.

Have A Seat.

We'll Keep You Company.

Thanks.
I Appreciate It.

No Problem.

We'd Like To Get
To Know You.

What's
Your Sign?

Sign?

Your Birthday?

Oh, November th.

Scorpio.

You're Passionate
And True To Yourself.

Thanks.

Are You In College, Too?

Yeah, Med School.

A Lot Of Girls Go For Guys
In Med School, Right?

No, Not Really.

I'll Bet You Have
A Couple Of Girlfriends.

No, I'm Not Into That.
I'm A One-Woman Man.

Theo...

Oh, Hi!

Hi.

When Did You
Get Here?

A Couple Of Minutes Ago.

It's Me, Denise.

Yeah, We Talked
On The Phone.

Nice To Meet You.

Nice To Meet You.

Robert And I
Kept Him Company.

Oh, Great.

So, How's
The Weather?

It's Kind
Of Cold.

Yeah, But It's Clear
And Beautiful.

I'm Glad.

I'd Say A High-Pressure System

Will Remain In The Area
Throughout The Evening.

Thank You, Robert.

Let's Go.
Nice Meeting You.

Have Fun.

Denise:
Bye-Bye.

See You Later.

So, Sit Down.

Gosh, It's Really Nice

To Meet You
Face To Face.

Talking On The Phone
Was Getting Expensive.

It Was Just A Local Call.

Oh.

Right-- "Local Call."

That's What We'll Call It.

We Make Lots Of "Local Calls."

So... Gosh, I Like
The Way You Dress.

Thanks.

Your Dad's Upstairs
Getting Me A Tie.

You Don't Need A Tie.

Your Dad Said I Did.

I Don't Believe Him!

I'm Sorry.

No, It's Okay.
I Agreed With Him.

You Did?

I Agree With Most Of
What Your Dad Says.

You Do?

Yeah, He's A Great Man.

I'm Glad He's Teaching Me
Everything He Knows.

He Is?

Yeah.

Hey!

My Lucky Tie.

Ewww!

Don't Make Him
Wear That!

No. It's Okay.

I'll Be Proud
To Wear It.

All Right!

Well, Let's Hit It!

It Was Nice
Meeting You.

Where Are You Going?

To The Hospital

With
Your Dad.

You Are?

He's Making
Rounds With Me.

Okay, Dad.
When Will You Be Back?

We'll Be Back In
Two, Three Hours.

Okay.

See You Later.
Bye.

Bye.

Hello?

Dad, You Just Left
With My Date.

What's Wrong?

Dad Just Left With The Guy
I Was Going Out With.

He Just Walked Out With Him.

He Gave Him A Tie.

He Must Have Liked Him.

Why Am I Even Here?

I Have Nothing
To Do Tonight Now.

Where You Going?

I Need Some Water.

( Knocking )

Hi.

Hi.

Uh, Can I Come In?

No. I'm Not Allowed To Open
The Door For Strangers.

I'm Greg Martinson.
I'm Denise's Date.

Denise Said You
Left With My Dad.

I Just Got Here.

Could I Come In?

You're Still A Stranger.

Could You Tell
Denise That I'm Here?

Okay.

Now?

Sure. I'll Run.

Denise! Denise!

Yeah?

Do You Still Want A Date?

What?

There's A Guy At The Door

Looking For A Date.

Rudy, Don't Joke Around.

I'm Not.
He's Waiting For You Outside.

What Does He Look Like?

Nice.

"Nice," Huh?

Does This Nice-Looking
Gentleman Have A Name?

Yeah, Uh...

Greg... Martins...

Greg Martinson?

That's It!

He Left With Dad.

Well, He's Back.

This Is Not The Guy
Who Left With Dad.

He's The One That's
Looking For A Date.

Hi.

Hi.

Are You Denise?

I'm Greg.

We Have A Date.

Greg Martinson
Was Already Here.

I Don't Think I Was.

The Greg Martinson I've
Talked To Long Distance?

Yeah.

Look, I Have
Identification.

You Look Better In Person.

Thanks.

Please Come In.

I Don't Even
Know What Happened.

We've Only Talked
On The Phone

And I Was
Getting Nervous

So I Had My Brother
Sit With You

To Give Me A Weather Report.

You Got A Very
Good Report.

Then My Dad Comes Down,
Gives Him A Tie...

And You're Here,
And It's Nice To Meet You.

Same Here.

Let Me Get Over Your Being Here

But My Dad Took You Away.

Well, Sit Down,
Handsome.

Well, Greg Martinson...

Tell Me About Yourself.

( Drumming Sounds )

Hi.

Hi.
Hey.

Dad, This Is Greg Martinson.

Greg, My Father,
Dr. Huxtable.

How Are
You, Greg?

( Clears Throat )

Oh, This Is Robert.
No Relation.

I'm Working On It, Though.

Dad, Go Ahead.
Sit Down.

Thank You.

Guess This Is It, Huh?

Yeah, I Guess
This Is It.

What Time's Your
First Class Tomorrow?

Um... :Oo.

How About You?

: .

Well, Thanks For...
Everything.

Yeah, I Had
A Really Nice Time.

Well, Bye.

I've Got
To Go.

Bye.

I'll Call.

Okay.

So Why Didn't You Kiss Him?

You Guys.

You Could Have Gone Upstairs

Or In The Kitchen.

Really?

Yes.

This Is My House.

You're Lucky I Didn't Go Over
And Stand Between Both Of You.

Well, I Had A Fabulous Time,
Regardless.

Good.

How About You?

Did You Have A Good Time?

Robert And I?
We Were Here Cookin'.

Downtown!

Well, Good.

I'll Leave You Two Alone.

No, Don't Do That.

Stay
And Talk.

( Drumming Sounds )

Say, Say, Say!

Did You Take The Dishes
Out Of The Dishwasher?

No.

There You Go.

Downtown.

Downtown.

There It Is.

Hi, Dad.

How Was The Movie?

Disgusting. Aaron And Tyrone
Stayed To See It Again.

There's Someone In The Kitchen
Waiting To Talk To You.

Who?

He's Been Here
All This Time?

Yes, Indeed.

Is He Upset About
Seeing Me With Tyrone And Aaron?

He's Upset About
Not Seeing You With Him.

Dad, I Can't Go In There.

Please Go In There.

Because If You Don't

This Boy Will Stay In This House
For The Rest Of My Life.

Hi, Robert.

Hi.

I Have Something To Say To You.

I Would Like For Us
To Go Steady Again.

I'm Flattered

But I Don't Think
That's Right For Us.

Sure, It's Right.

We're Like
A Bow And Arrow--

Take One Away,
The Other's Useless.

Not If You Find
Another Arrow.

I Think You're Upset

Because Three Girls
Broke Up With You This Month

And You're Feeling
Desperate.

Maybe, But A Great Man Said,
"Even In Desp..."

Robert.

Yeah?

What Man?

I Don't Know. I Forgot.

Then I Don't Want
To Hear It.

It's A Great Saying.

Tell Me Who Said It,
Or I Won't Listen.

Who Cares Who Said It?

Robert, I'm Telling You This
As A Friend--

You Have A Problem.

Yes-- That You
Won't Go Steady With Me.

No-- That You
Quote All These Sayings.

You're ,
And You Talk Like You're .

You're Right.

I Do.

Now Will You Take Me Back?

As My Friend.

I Want To Be Your Boyfriend.

Robert, You Once Told Me

"A Ship That Sails Backwards
Never Sees The Sunrise."

What Did I Mean By That?

You Meant That In Life
You Must Always Go Forward.

But I Hoped
We'd Go Together.

We Will...

As Friends.

Okay, I Hear What You're Saying.

Good. Who Knows
What The Future Holds?

Maybe I'll Feel Differently
In Time.

Vanessa?

Yeah?

Would It Speed Things

If I Begged?

Oh.

You Are Looking
At One Tired Dog.

How Could You Be Tired?

I've Been Up Since
Early This Morning, Dear.

You Got Some Sleep.

No, I Just Had A Little Nap
This Afternoon.

I'm Not Talking About That
Little Nap This Afternoon.

I'm Talking About That Long Nap
This Morning... In Church.

Get Out Of Here.

I Saw You.

I Was Standing In The Choir

Singing Wondrous Love.

I Saw You.

It's A Lovely Song.

You Only Heard A Few Words,
Then Your Sorry Old Eyes Closed.

Your Head
Fell Forward.

You Pulled It Back.

It Fell Forward Again.
You Pulled It Back.

It Fell Forward Again.

It Ended Up Inside Your Jacket.

Don't Worry About Me.

I May Be Napping

But Whatever I Hear
Stays In These Ears.

And You Heard Everything
This Morning?

That Is Correct. Everything.

Then Why Is It That When
The Sermon Was Over

And Everybody Else Said, "Amen"

You Jumped Up And Said,
"There You Go"?

The Spirit Moved Me.

Good Night, Cliff.

Good Night.

Clair?

Yes?

I Can't Go To Sleep.

Now There You Go.

No, I'm Just Not Sleepy Now.

( Giggling )

Clair?

Yes?

Put Me To Sleep.

I Have Just What You Need.

Come Here.

Now Relax.

Let Your Feet Go.

Are You Ready?

Mm-Hmm.
