03x22 - The Andalusian Flu

[bunniefuu]

(Achoo!)

Cliff, What's The Matter?

I Have What You Have.

The Andalusian Flu?

Every Fiber Of My Body.

Oh, No.

You Cannot Be Sick.

You Can't.

I Can't?

No, I'm Not Well Yet.

Ah-Huh.

Tomorrow I'll Be Better
And You Can Be Sick Then.

No, I'm Sorry.

My Teeth Hurt.

I'm Hot, I'm Cold.

This Is It.

It Gets Worse.

Why Did You Give Me This?

I Didn't Mean
To Give It To You.

I Caught It From The Children,
Who Probably Caught It

From One Of Those Little Sickly,
Snotty-Nose Kids In School.

We Should Track That Kid Down
And Shake Him.

Yeah.

Then We Should
Find Out Where His Parents Live

And Sneeze On Them.

If They Have A Dog,
We'll Sneeze On It.

Hey, Dad, I Found...

What's Wrong?

Your Father's Sick
With The Andalusian Flu.

Whoa.

Forget The Next Hours.

Don't Worry.

I'll Take Care Of You.

You Will?

Sure.

You Took Care Of Us Last Week.

You'll Watch Vanessa And Rudy?

Sure.

Who's Going To Watch You?

I'm . I Can Handle It.

Give Me A Chance.

Okay.

Cliff:
Okay.

All Right.

Aren't You Taking Lana Herman
To The Movies?

Oh, Yeah.

I'll Have To Tell Her
We Can't Go.

If You Need Anything,
Just Let Me Know.

He's Giving Up

Going Out With Lana Herman
To Look After His Parents?

What A
Lovely Boy.

You Know, There Is
A Positive Side To All Of This.

What's That?

You And I Can Spend

The Day Together In Bed.

(Achoo!)

Maybe.

If Janet Calls

Tell Her
I Left.

Where Are
You Going?

To Janet's.

You Can't.

Now Dad's Sick, Too.

Oh, No.

I'm Going Up There.

They Need Me.

Don't Bug Them.

Are They Okay?

They're Fine.

They Just Need Bed Rest
For A Few Days.

A Few Days?

Yeah.

Who Will Cook?

We Will.

Who Will Put Me To Bed?

We Will.

Who Will Pay The Bills?

Calm Down.

They've Been
Sick Before.

Not Together.

We'll Have To Pull Together
And Run The House Ourselves.

All Right, Pizza Every Night.

See, Right Off
That's The Wrong Attitude.

We've Got To Be Responsible.

Which Means We Eat Stuff
We Don't Like.

Yeah, I Guess You're Right.

With Some Teamwork,
Everything Will Go Smoothly.

What's First?

You Two Make Lunch.

Rudy, You Empty The Dishwasher.

Vanessa, You Clean The Kitchen.

I'll Make A Work Schedule.

What Will You Do
Besides The Work Schedule?

Lots.

Plan The Meals,
Decide When To Eat...

Figure Out What Chores
Need To Be Done.

I'll Do Everything
Mom And Dad Do.

In Fact, I'm Doing The Job
Of Two Adults.

I'd Appreciate
Some Support From You Two.

I'm With You.

Me, Too.

I Know We Can Do It.

Go, Team!
Go, Team!

Let's Go Team.
Let's Go Team.

Cliff?

Yeah?

I'm Thirsty.

So Am I.

Who Will Get Us Water?

You.

I Can't Get Water, I'm Sick.

So Am I.

So Am I.

So Am I.

Theo Said If We Needed Anything
We Could Call Him.

Go Ahead, Call Him.

I Can't, My Head Hurts.

My Head Hurts, Too.

Okay, Let's Call Him Together.

Okay.

On The Count Of Three.

One, Two, Three.

Theo.
Theo.

Theo.
Theo.

I'm Yelled Out.

Do You Think They'll Ever
Come Up And Check On Us?

I Don't Think So, Dear.

They Have Us
Right Where They Want Us.

How Are We Going To
Get The Water?

I'll Get It.

Dear, I'm Going
To Need Some Help.

Okay.

There You Go.

Cliff?

Hmm?

Are You All Right?

Yeah, I'm Just
Taking A Little Nap.

Vanessa.

What?

There's More Table
Under Those Magazines.

Nobody Sees That Part.

I Will If I Pick Up A Magazine.

Then Don't Pick Them Up.

You Wouldn't Be Sloppy
With Mom And Dad Here.

All Right, All Right.

Good.

When You Finish That,
You Can Start This.

I'm Through After Dusting.

Wrong.

I Told Janet I Would Come Over.

When You're Sick

Do Mom And Dad Take Off
To Their Friend's House?

No.

Then We Should

Show Them The Same Consideration

And That's Going To Take
Teamwork And Sacrifice.

A Chain Is Only As Strong
As Its Weakest Link.

Don't Be That Weak Link.

Theo, Don't Give Me That.

It's Obvious That You Don't
Want To Pitch In And Help

For Mom And Dad's Sake.

All Right.

And Here's A Grocery List, Too.

I Have To Go
To The Store, Too?

What Are You Doing?

Plenty.

I Have To Finish Dusting,
Organize The House...

I'll Go To The Grocery Store.

And Pick Up Some Carnations
For Mom And Dad.

You Probably Want Me
To Grow Them, Too.

Hi, Rudy,
How's It Going?

Almost Finished.

Good.

Here, Remember To
Separate The Whites.

I Can't Do Laundry.

I'm Not Allowed
To Use The Machine.

You Could Still Take This
And Separate The Clothes.

I'm Going To The Store.

After That,
Do The Living Room Floors.

That's Your Job.

When You Were Sick Last Week

Mom And Dad Took Care Of You.

It's Time To Return The Favor.

That Means Some Sacrifice.

A Chain Is Only As Strong
As Its Weakest Link.

Don't Be That Weak Link.

Understand?

I Understand--

You Want Me To Do Your Work.

I Don't Need This Sarcasm.

I'm Sorry.

(Doorbell)

Hey, Mr. Lucas,
How Are You Doing?

This Is My
New Assistant.

Warren L. Davis.

Your Father Recommended Him.

Really?

I Worked At The Hospital

For Years,
But They Gave Me The Boot.

Sorry To
Hear About That.

Don't Be.

Working For Mr. Lucas

Is The Best Thing That
Ever Happened To Me.

Hiring Mr. Davis Is The
Best Thing I Ever Did.

When It Comes
To Fixing Things

Mr. Lucas
Is A Genius.

Thank You.

You're Welcome.

What Are You Here To Fix?

The Bannister.

It Is Loose.

It Won't Be After Mr. Davis
Finishes With It.

Thank You.

You're Welcome.

I'll Tell Mom And Dad
You're Here.

Thank You.

You're Welcome.

(Knocking)

Come In.

Mom...

What's
Dad Doing

On The Floor?

He Went To Get Water,
But Didn't Make It.

Why Didn't You Call Me?

We Were Too Weak.

I'll Get
Some Water.

Let's Get Dad
Back In Bed.

Dad, Let Me Get
You Back In Bed.

Who Are You?

Theo.

It's The Fever, Son.
He Has .

He Must Be
In Bad Shape.

Get Under The Covers.

Who's She?

Your Wife.

She Is?

She's Nice.

I'll Get
The Water.

No, No.

Don't Look At Me. I'm Sick.

Could I Have Your Number?

Here You Go, Mom.

Thank You, Son.

Here's Your
Water, Dad.

Water?

What For?

To Drink.

Oh, Good, Because I'm Thirsty.

Dad, I Don't Want You
Getting Out Of Bed, Okay?

Yes, Theo.

Keep The Covers On.

Yes, Theo.

I'm Getting A Whistle.

If You Need Me, Blow It.

Mr. Lucas And Mr. Davis Are
Fixing The Bannister, Okay?

Yeah, That's Fine.

I'll Be Right Back.

Yes, Theo.

Lovely Boy.

Yes, He Is.

I Wish I Had A
Son Like That.

You Do.

Really?

What's His Name?

Theo.

Ah, Same Name
As The Boy That Just Left Here.

Cliff, Go To Sleep.

(Hammering)

Come In.

No, That's Downstairs, Honey.

That Must Be
The Work On The Bannister.

Make Them Stop.

I'll Get Theo.

(Feeble Whistle)

More Air.

(Piercing Whistle)

(Weakly)
Aahhh...

I'm Sorry.

He Probably Can't Hear
Because Of The Hammering.

Cliff, Go Downstairs
And Tell That Man To Stop.

I Can't Go, Dear.

You Go.

I Can't Go.
I'm Not Decent.

I Don't Want The Workman
To See Me In Pajamas.

Clair, You Really Don't
Look That Good, Anyway.

Excuse Me?

Okay,
I'm Going.

(Hammering)

Hey, There, Dr. Huxtable.

Where's
My Bannister?

All Over The Place.

I Had To Take It Out.

Do You Have To Hammer?

No, But I Wouldn't Feel Right

If I Got Paid
For Just Standing Here.

Mrs. Huxtable And I
Are Very Sick People.

What's Wrong With You?

Andalusian Flu.

That's Bad.

Your Head Feels Like It's
Smashed Between Semi Trucks.

You Get This sh**ting Pain
Between Your Eyes--

Like A Woodpecker's Been
Tapping On You.

You've Had It?

No, Sir.
I Never Get Anything.

You Don't?

As Soon As I Feel
Something Coming On

I Drink Quinine And Seltzer.

That Wipes Those Germs
Right Out.

Dr. Huxtable?

Dr. Huxtable?

I Think You'd Better
Go Back To Bed.

Yes.

Thank You.

Mm-Hmm.

Oops!

Lana, What Are You Doing?!

She's Helping.

I Don't
Mind.

Lana, I Mind.

Rudy, Why Are You
Doing The Floors?

That's Vanessa's Job.

Vanessa Told Me To.

Where Is She?

In The Kitchen.

Excuse Me, Lana.

I'll Be Right Back.

Rudy, Come With Me, Please.

Vanessa, Why Was Rudy Doing
The Living Room Floor?

Because I Went To The Store.

She Gave Me The Laundry, Too.

Vanessa!

I Just Asked Her
To Load Them.

You Just Turned It On.

I Did More...

No, You Didn't!

Yes, I Did!

Guys, What's Happening
To Our Teamwork?

Remember,
We're In This Together.

Right. Rudy And I Work,
And You Watch.

Yeah, Mr. Big Shot.

If That's How You Feel

I'll Increase
My Share Of The Work.

Good.

You Got The Flowers.
Great.

I'll Just Give These
To Lana.

Lana?

Yeah.

I Went To The Store

To Buy Flowers
For Your Girlfriend?!

Half Are For Mom,
And Half Are For Lana.

She'll Love These.
Thanks.

He Tricked Me Into Buying
Flowers For His Girlfriend!

Yeah. She's Sitting
In The Living Room.

I Can't Go To Janet's

But He Brings
His Girlfriend Here.

I've Had It With Him.

Me, Too.

He Never Lets Us
See Mom And Dad.

I Bet He's Telling Them

He's Doing All The Work
And We're Goofing Off.

That Stinks!

I'm Tired Of Him
Bossing Us Around.

Theo Is A Dictator.

Right.

And You Should

Overthrow A Dictator.

Let's Throw Him.

These Flowers
Are So Beautiful.

If I Could

I'd Give You Flowers
Like That Every Day.

That's So Sweet.

Theo,
It's Really Neat

The Way You're Taking
Care Of Your Parents.

I Can't Let Them Down.

I'm The Oldest
In The House Now.

That's So Mature.

I Bet You'd Make
A Great Dad.

It's Not That Hard.

You Just Have To Be
Good At Organizing.

Hey, How's It Going,
Team?

What Are You Guys Doing?

You're Overthrown.

We're Not Taking This.

Hello, Lana.

Hi, Vanessa.

You've Given Your Last Order,
Theo.

You're Out, Pal!

Excuse Me, Lana.

There Must Be Some
Misunderstanding.

I'll Go Into The Kitchen
And Talk To My Sisters.

I'm Not Going With You.

Please, Let's Talk About This
Somewhere Else.

I'm Telling Mom And Dad
What You've Been Doing.

I'm Telling, Too.

Don't! They're Sick!

When They Hear This,
You're Going To Get It.

Let's Go.

Wait!

I Command You To Stop!

Now!

Theo:
You'll Wake Them Up!

Vanessa:
You Just Don't Want To
Get In Trouble.

(Everyone Shouting)

(Piercing Whistle)

(Weakly)
Aahhh...

I'm Sorry.

Who Are They?

Your Children.

Why Are They Making This Noise?

What's The Problem?

Theo's
A Dictator.

I Am Not!

Yes, You Are.

He's Giving Us
The Work.

He Does Nothing
But Boss Us.

I'm Delegating
Responsibilities--

Like You And Dad Do.

I Have A Blister.

Rudy,
Get Off!

They're Sick!

(Whistle)

That's It.

Starting From This Moment
And Forevermore

I Declare Myself Well.

How Can You?

I've Got To

Or These People Will
Tear Up My House.

Theo, You And Vanessa
Go To The Kitchen

And Await
Further Instruction.

You Come With Me

And I'll Fix Your Finger.

Things Will Be
Different Now.

Have A Rough Time, Son?

I Tried To Be A Good Leader.

I Just Had The Wrong Followers.

Come Here, Son.

Sit Down.

I'll Explain It To You.

Are You Sure, Dad?

You Need Your Rest.

What I Have To Say
Is Important.

A Long Time Ago,
When I Was A Little Boy

My Grandmother Said To Me...

"Chew Your Food
Times A Day..."

Dad, Maybe We Should
Talk About This Later.

No.

We'll Talk About It Now.

"...It's Important
To Brush Your Teeth

Before You Cross The Street."

Okay, Dad.

"...And If You Meet A Stranger
With A Candy Bar

Tell Him
You'd Rather Have Water."

Yeah, Dad.

Dad?

What Was I Saying?
Where Was I?

You Were...

You Were Saying

That I Should Get A Sports Car
For My Birthday.

A Sports Car?

Yeah.

Every , Miles...

You Change The Oil.

You Know...

Maybe We Should Put This
Sports Car Thing In Writing.

Whatever You Say.

Just Sign The Bottom.

I'll Fill In The Rest.

Dad...

Don't Fall Asleep
On Me Now, Dad.

Dad...

Dad, Don't Fall Asleep.

Huh?

What's The Matter?

Hey, Dad.

Huh?

Theo.

Oh, Man...

I Was Having This Terrible Dream
That I Had A Horrible Son

Who Was Trying To Get Me To
Sign A Piece Of Paper

So That He Could
Get A Sports Car.

You're Kidding!

No...

But I'm Happy To See You.

Yeah.

Thank You For Looking After Me.

No Problem, Dad.

Okay.

Hey, Dad?

Dad?

Phew!
