Post by bunniefuu »

It's Here.

What?

Some Things I Ordered.

Did I Get Mail?

No, But Look What I Got:
"Bag-O-Gags."

What?

"Bag-O-Gags."

This Magazine Ad

Showed All These Tricks
You Can Pull On Your Friends.

It's Funny Stuff.

Look At This.

What Is It?

A Fly In An Ice Cube.

People Will Think
A Fly's In Their Drink.

That's Not Funny.

Yes, It Is, Rudy.

You're Just Too Young
To Understand.

Look, I'm Sorry
I Said That, Rudy.

Aah!
( Buzzing )

It's A Joy Buzzer.

That Wasn't Funny, Either.

Are You Kidding?

This Was Hilarious.

The Ad In The
Magazine Was Right.

I'll Have Hours
Of Fun With This.

Beautiful.
Do You Know What This Is?

Chewing Gum.

That's What You're
Supposed To Think.

This Is Actually Trick Gum.

It Tastes Like Dirt.

Eww!

Vanessa:
Theo!

Down Here.

We'll Give
Vanessa Some Gum.

Now That's Funny.

Pretend You're Chewing.

I'm Having Trouble
With Algebra Problems.

Could You Help?

Sure. Isn't
This Gum Good?

Delicious.

Want Some, Vanessa?

What Flavor?

It's Spearmint/Peppermint

And It's Sugarless.

I'll Have Some.

Isn't This The Best Gum
You've Ever Tasted?

Absolutely.

Eww!

Vanessa:
It Tastes
Like Dirt!

What Is Wrong With You People?

This Is So Immature.

You Should Have
Seen Your Face.

"Eww! It Tastes
Like Dirt!"

Wait. Where's Mom?

She's In The Kitchen.

You're Not Giving Her That Gum?

No, I Got
Something Better.

Hi, Mom.

Hi.

We Were Just Saying
You're A Great Mom.

Really?

We Appreciate You
Taking Us To The Movies.

You're Welcome.

You're An Excellent Mother.

We Look Forward To
Many Years As Your Children.

Well,
Thank... Ooh!

( Buzzing )

That Was Tremendous!

I Admit, You Got Me Good.

It's From The
"Bag-O-Gags" I Ordered.

We Should Get Dad.

Yeah!
Theo:
Yeah!

Let's Do It!

Cliff?

Cliff:
Hey!

Could You
Come Downstairs?

Be Right Down.

Give Him The Gum
That Tastes Like Dirt.

You Have Gum That
Tastes Like Dirt?

Yeah, It's Awful.

It's Perfect.

You Know What To Do.

Yeah.

Should We Have Fish For Dinner?

Yeah, That's Fine With Me, Dear.

Isn't This Gum Good?

Delicious.

Dad, Want Some?

Okay, Thank You.

I'll Just Take A Half A Stick.

I Already Have Some.

Me, Too.

Vanessa?

I Had Some.

It Was Good.

Clair?

Oh, Thank You.

I'd Love Half.

Uh-Huh.

Aren't You Going
To Chew It, Dear?

I'm Saving It For Later.

Mm-Hmm.

Yeah.

Ah-Ha!

Ha!

Okay, Let's Have
The Story On The Gum.

Does It Turn Your Teeth Green?

Does It Explode In Your Mouth

Or Is It All
Hot Peppers Inside?

What Is It?

It Tastes Like Dirt!

You Are The Saddest
Bunch Of Sorry People

I've Ever Seen
In My Life.

Think You Could
Pull Something On Me.

You'll Never
Pull Nothing On Me

Because I'm Smart,
That's Why.

Dad, You're Right.

You Better
Believe It.

We Never Should
Have Tried This.

That Is Correct.

No Hard Feelings?

Of Course Not.

Put Her There.

All Right.

This Is Sad.

This Is Really Sad.

I Had These Things
Years Ago, Man.

You Can't Fool Me
With This Stuff.

You Knew He Had It?

I Know All
And I See All.

You All Can't Fool Me.

Oh, Look
At This.

They're In
Your Bulbs!

Ah, Ha, Ha!

I Got You.
I Got You, Got You.

I'm So Good

I Don't Know What
To Do With Myself.

Are You Ready?

Ready.

Mom! Dad!

Clair:
Sondra...

Elvin, What Are You Doing Here?

We Thought
We'd Just Visit.

I'm Glad You Did.

Is Dad Here?

No, He's At The Hospital.

We'd Better Wait.

Wait For What?

We Have
Something To Say

But We'll Wait
Till You're Together.

Is It So Bad You Want To Wait?

It's Good.

Okay.

Why Don't You
Take Your Things Upstairs?

And I'll Make Some Tea.

I Can't Wait.

You'll Have To Tell Me Now.

But Dad Isn't Here.

I Don't Care.

Tell Me Now.

We're Engaged.

Sondra...

I Knew It!

Oh, My Baby,
My Baby, My Baby.

Oh!

I'm So Happy.

Oh, Mom,
I'm So Happy.

Oh, I'm
So Happy.

I'm So Happy, Too.

Oh!

Oh, Elvin.

Where's The Ring?

It's Still
In The Box.

I Wasn't Going To Wear It
Until We Told Our Parents.

Have You Told
Your Parents?

Yes. We Just
Saw Them.

My Mother Cried.

Oh, I'm Going To Call
Your Mother Now.

Rudy:
Sondra! Elvin!

Vanessa:
What Are You
Doing Here?

Well, We Just Came Home To
Announce Our Engagement!

You're Getting Married?

Oh, That's
Unbelievable!

I Know.

Elvin,
Congratulations.

Thank You.

( Buzzing )

I Got You! I Got You!

Hey, What's Going On?

Sondra And Elvin
Just Got Engaged.

So?

Theo, Aren't
You Excited?

They're Getting Married.

It's About Time.

Theo!

I'm Just Kidding, Sondra.

Congratulations, Sis.

Thank You.

Elvin,
Congratulations.

Yeah... Hmm.

Rudy Got Me.

Real Good.

Listen, Francine, We'll
Get Together Very Soon.

We Have A Lot
To Talk About.

Bye-Bye.

I Can't Wait
Till We Tell Dad.

Dad Doesn't Know?

No.

What?

We Finally Know
Something Dad Doesn't.

Yeah!

Wait. We Can't Keep This
Information From Your Father.

For Once We Know
Something He Doesn't.

We Can Use This
To Get Even With Him.

What Are You
Talking About?

Dad Said We'd Never Fool Him
No Matter How Hard We Tried.

And He Called Us
A Bunch Of Sorry People.

You Want To Use
Our Engagement

To Try To Trick
Dr. Huxtable?

Yeah!

I Think It's
A Great Idea.

Clair:
Wait A
Minute, Now.

This Is A Good Time
For Our Family.

It's Precious.
We Should Cherish It.

We Can't Use This To Play
A Trick On Your Father...

Although We Could
Get Him Real Good.

Yeah!
Yeah!

Let's Do It!

Okay, Listen.

Dr. Huxtable.

Elvin.

I Need To Speak To You.

What's On Your Mind?

This.

It's A Ring.

An Engagement Ring.

I'm Already Married.

It's Not For You, Sir.

It's For Sondra.
Really?

My...

My Little Sondra.

Yes, Sir.

I Want To
Propose To Her Tonight.

What Do You Think?

I Think That Sondra
Is A Wonderful Woman

And I Think That
You're A Good Man

And You Have My Blessings.

Thank You...

Dad.

Now, About
Mrs. Huxtable.

What About Mrs. Huxtable?

In The Past I've Said Some
Pretty Stupid Things To Her

About Men Being
Superior To Women.

Yes. Yes, You Have.

They Made Her Very Angry.

That Was A Long Time Ago,
And You've Changed Considerably.

I Think Mrs. Huxtable
Will Let Bygones Be Bygones.

Maybe, But I'm Still
Afraid To Ask Her.

If I Say Something Stupid Now,
It Could Really Ruin Things.

That's Why
I Came To See You.

You Have To Get
Mrs. Huxtable's Blessing For Me.

You'll Know The Right Thing
To Say To Her.

You Know Everyone
In This Family So Well.

Sometimes You Amaze Me.

I Do?

Yes, You Possess
A Tremendous Amount Of Wisdom.

Elvin, You Made The Right Move
When You Came To Me.

I Know How To Handle
Mrs. Huxtable.

There's A Special
Little Thing I Do.

I Take Her Feet
And I Massage Them.

You Ought To

Let Me Handle It.

I'll Pave The Road
For You And Sondra.

Can You Do It?

I'm Sorry, Sir.

Is There Room
On The Sofa For Me?

I'll Make Room For You.

Thank You.

What Are You Doing
Way Over There?

You Know What--
Put Them Up Here.

And To What Do I Owe
This Lovely Pampering?

Just Credit It To The Fact
That You Are Beautiful.

Keep Talking.

I Was Thinking About Elvin.

What About Him?

Well, I Was Just Supposing...

What Would Happen If He
Asked Sondra To Marry Him.

Never.

Never?

Would I Allow Such
A Thing To Happen!

Yeah, But...

Not While I'm Living.

Not Even When I'm Dead.

Yeah, But, Hon...

No, No, No.

I've Spent My Entire Life

Waiting For Sondra
To Dump That Boy.

But You Haven't Spent
Your Entire Life With Elvin.

Come On.

It Feels Like It.

His Attitudes Towards Women
Are Downright Primitive.

He Thinks The Man
Is The King.

The Woman Is
Supposed To Sit There

And Fulfill His Every Wish.

But The Boy Has Changed
Considerably Since Those Times.

And Look How You Changed Me.

I Do Not Want Sondra
To Go Through What I Did!

But I Wasn't...

I'm Just Saying Suppose.

You Can Suppose All You Like

But If That Boy Ever Asks
My Daughter To Marry Him

They Will Be His Last Words.

Hey, Dad.

Did You Talk To Mrs. Huxtable?

I Think You Better Elope.

What's The Matter?

Just Give
Mrs. Huxtable More Time.

How Much?

More Time Than You Have

I Would Imagine.

You Said
You Could Handle It.

You Said You Knew Her
Better Than She Knew Herself.

I Do, Except When
Your Name Comes Up.

Then I Don't
Know My Wife At All.

I'm Sorry.

Dr. Huxtable,
I Hate To Say This

But You Really Let Me Down.

Yes, But There's Got To Be
Something We Can Do.

I'm Going To Stand Up
To Mrs. Huxtable.

I Don't Think
You Want To Do That.

I'm Asking Sondra To Marry Me

Whether Mrs. Huxtable
Likes It Or Not.

Okay, Come Here.

Sit Down, Son.

Sit Down Here.

I Think There's
Something That We Could Do.

We've Got One
Last Shot Before Dinner.

I'll Do Anything.

How Do You Really
Feel About Women?

I Need The Truth.

They're Equal To Men.

Do You Believe A Woman Could Be
President Of A Corporation?

Could Be President
Of The United States?

Of Course.

No Problem With That?

No, She Could Be An Astronaut--

By Herself.

I Don't Understand.

Fly To The Moon By Herself.

By Herself, Yes!

Come On Now.

We're Going In Here,

And We'll Tell Mrs. Huxtable.

Dear, You Should Have
Heard The Things

This Young Man
Was Saying.

Go Ahead, Tell Mrs. Huxtable
What You Were Saying.

I Firmly Believe In The Equality
Between Men And Women.

There You Go.
Really?

Yes.

And What Else?

It's Also My Sincere Opinion

That A Woman Can Do
Anything On Her Own.

What Else?

A Woman Can Fly To The Moon
Without The Help Of Any Man.

Elvin,
Thank You

For Sharing This
Attitude With Me.

It's From The Bottom
Of My Heart.

I'll See You
At Dinner.

Cliff:
All Right,
Elvin.

Now, Wasn't That Wonderful?

And Sincere.

Sincere.

I Am Amazed.

Yes, Good.

I'm Amazed How That Boy
Could Lie To My Face.

He Is Nothing
But A Big Fake...

No...

And You're With Him.

I'm With Him?

Let The Record Show

That If The Boy Opens
His Mouth At Dinner Tonight

I'll Throw Him
So Far From This House

He'll Forget The Address.

How's Everybody?

Fine.

Where's Dad?

At The Hospital.

You Should Have
Seen Him Before He Left.

He Was Begging Me
To Give Elvin My Permission.

Begging.

Theo:
This Is The Greatest
Thing We've Done.

Vanessa:
Dad Will Be
So Faked Out.

Sondra:
I Can't Wait To See
Dad's Face At Dinner.

Elvin:
I Did An Excellent Job
Of Faking Him Out.

At Dinner Tonight,
Everybody Remember

You Must Keep
A Straight Face.

Do Not Laugh.

We Don't Want Him
To Suspect A Thing.

Sondra:
This Is Going To
Be Unbelievable!

He'll Be Sorry
He Ever Called Us Sorry.

Right Before I Serve Dessert
Elvin Will Propose To Sondra.

I'll Stand Up And Say

"Never Will I Allow
This Marriage."

Then Sondra Will Say,
"But, Mom, We're In Love."

Sondra:
I'll Make It
Real Emotional.

Elvin:
Maybe I Should
Start Crying.

That's Perfect!

Then When I Throw You Out,
Dr. Huxtable Will Feel So Bad.

Maybe We Shouldn't Do This--
It's Awfully Cruel.

But He Deserves This!

All:
Yeah.

After I Throw Elvin Out

We'll Turn To Your Father
And Say, "Gotcha!"

Clair:
Okay, Let's
Get Ready.

Remember,
Keep A Straight Face.

Theo:
This Will Be A Night
Dad Will Not Forget.

Excellent Meal.

Yes, It Was One Of The Finest
I've Ever Had In This House.

Everybody,
Dessert Is Served.

Dessert, Too?

Yes, Homemade Apple Pie.

Oh, No, I Don't Have
Room For Apple Pie.

I'm Going To Go Out
And Walk This Off.

Dad, You Can't.

What Do You Mean?

We Can't Have Dessert
Without You.

It Wouldn't
Be The Same.

Please?

Well, I'm Touched By This--

That My Family
Would Want Me Here.

Clair:
I'll Serve.

Before You Do That, There's
Something I'd Like To Say.

Sit Down.
Sit Down.

Pardon Me?

Sit Down.

But I Was...

No, Sit Down And Shut Up!

Now, I Have Something To Say.

This Is A Very Sad Occasion

Because Something That Was
Supposed To Happen

Isn't Going To Happen.

Dr. Huxtable...

Shut Up.

You've Been Coming To This House
For A Long Time

And Every Time You Come Here

You Bring Nothing But
Turmoil And Havoc.

But Thanks To Mrs. Huxtable

Who Was The Only One
Who Could See Through

Your Little Trifling Ways

And Because Of Her...

I Can See
Clearly...

Wait, Cliff...

Shut Up!

Dad, Wait A Minute.

You Have A Problem?

I'm Telling You...

In Fact

You Are Leaving
This House Right Now.

Let's Go.

You're Leaving!

You Want To Know Why?!

Because I Gotcha!

Ha, Ha, Ha!

I Gotcha!

All Of You!

Ha, Ha, Ha!

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!

"We're Going To Get Dad!"

You'll Get Nobody!

Bam!

Now, Come On.

My Boy.

Come On, Sit Down

And You Propose
To My Daughter

And Do It Right.

You Were Listening.

No, A Little Birdy Told Me.

Go Ahead And Propose
To My Daughter.

All:
Oh...

Sondra...

Will You Marry Me?

Yes.

Oh, Elvin,
Welcome To The Family--

If You Still Want To
Be A Part Of It.

I Definitely Do.

I Have Something To Say.

Oh, My Goodness.

Here We Go.

You Are Marrying
My Oldest Child--

The One Who's Been
With Me The Longest.

You're Getting
A Very Special Person Here.

But What Really
Makes Me Happy

Is That Sondra Is Getting
A Very Special Person, Too.

Thank You.

Dr. Huxtable, I Hope
You're Not Too Angry With Me

For Trying To Pull
That Joke On You.

Oh, No, Elvin.

It's All Right.

( Buzz )

Gotcha!!
Gotcha!!
