Hi, Everybody.
Hi, Vanessa.
Hi, Elvin.
I Didn't Know You Were Coming.
It Was Beautiful Out.
I Thought
I'd Take A Walk.
You Live
Seven Miles Away.
A Married Man Can Take
A Long Walk If He Likes.
Sondra Didn't Want
To Come Along.
Sondra Likes To Walk.
Okay, We Had A Fight.
You Found Out.
When People Are Married,
They're Going To Fight.
You And Dad Fight?
Oh, Yes, We Do.
And Over The Silliest Things.
Like When My Friend's Wife Died
And He Dated A Younger Woman.
I Want You To Know That If I Die
You Have My Permission
To Marry Again.
I... I Have Your Permission?
Yes.
But You're Dead.
Find Someone
Who Can Make You Happy
And Help Take Care
Of The Kids.
Thank You.
(Laughing)
Would You?
Would I What?
If I Die, Would You Remarry?
We'll Talk About It
When It Happens.
We Can't Talk About It Then.
Okay.
No. The Answer Is No.
I Wouldn't.
Under No Circumstances,
If I Die
Would You Marry Again?
You Would Be
Single Forever.
Yes.
Would You Date Somebody?
No, I Wouldn't.
Okay, Cliff, I'm Dead.
I'm Gone.
And You're Still
In The Bed With Me?
What If You Met A Gorgeous,
International-Type Beauty?
Not Interested.
What If You Met A Woman
Who Could
Sing Jazz?
Like Lena Horne?
And Can Scat.
Like Ella Fitzgerald?
You Say It.
Not My Type.
Well, What Is Your Type?
You.
Okay, Say You Met Me.
You're Dead.
There's Somebody
Out There Just Like Me.
You're Dead?
Gone.
Okay, Now, You're Not
Coming Back, Are You?
Cliff, I'm Serious.
You're Not Coming Back, Right?
I'm Not
Coming Back.
Then I Meet This Woman
Who Looks Exactly Like You.
Exactly.
And You're Dead?
Yes.
Oh, Boy.
Okay, Then What I Would Do Is
I Would Call Her Up
And Ask Her
If She Would Go Out On A Date.
Then I'd Court Her And
Send Her Flowers And Call Her
And Introduce Her
To The Children
And Then I Would Marry Her
And Bring Her
In Here.
Would You Keep
My Picture Up?
Dear, I Don't Have To
Keep Your Picture Up
Because She Looks
Exactly Like You.
Good Night, Cliff.
You Need Some Sleep.
That's What I Love
About Our Discussions.
They're So Intellectual.
The Part I Like
Is Making Up
Afterwards.
(Slow Jazz)
It's Amazing You're
Still So Romantic
After Years
Of Marriage.
It Isn't The Years
That Makes It Amazing.
It's The Five Children.
If You're Going To
Have Five Children
You Better Have
A Whole Lot Of Stamina.
Let Go Of
My Hair, Vanessa!
Let Go!
What's Going On?
Fight! Fight!
Let Go!
Stop, Stop, Stop.
Hey!
Stop, No, Come On.
Stop, Look,
The Two Of You...
Daddy, I'm Getting Hot.
I Know You're
Getting Hot.
Dad's Taking Off
The Clothes
As Fast As He Can.
Okay, Here We Go.
Dad, Can I Get Down?
Dad.
Daddy!
Cliff.
I Didn't Know
They Were Hooked To Her, Dear.
Okay, Got
The Bucking Horse.
We Have
The Championship.
We're In
The Last Round.
Here Comes
Our Challenger:
Rudy Huxtable
Didn't Do Well
The First Two Times Up
But I Know
This Time She Will.
You Know The Rules.
Arms Sideways.
All Right, We're Riding.
Arms To The Side.
You're Just
Falling Off.
There She Goes.
She's Doing It
And The Horse...
Stay On!
That Was Seconds.
...Going To
Ride Good.
And The Bucking--
Oh, Look At Maria Go!
It's Always
Interesting.
And She's Doing A--
She's Got The Prize!
Ladies And Gentlemen,
There You Go!
There We Go.
You Go Man The Door.
Cliff:
All Right.
Hit It!
Ahh!
We Need That Record To Study.
They Won't
Throw Them At Dad.
Cockroach:
Please, Dr. Huxtable.
Step Out Of The Way.
This Is Dr. Huxtable!
I Delivered Some Of You!
I'm A Parent
And A Taxpayer
And I'm Probably The Only Adult
Who Will Sue Little Children!
All Right!
Thanks, Dad.
We Were Laughing
With You
Not At You.
Yeah, Liar.
Cliff:
Elvin
If You're Going To
Become A Parent
It Takes More
Than Physical Stamina.
You Need Mental Stamina.
What Kind Of Germs Do I Have?
Oh, Yeah, Well, See,
You Have The...
You Have
The Triptopenna Permasites.
Tripto Permasats?
See The Trips, As They
Like To Call Themselves
They Hang Around Water
Fountains And Glasses
And They Just
Keep Saying
"Where's The Party?
"I Love
To Party.
"I Just Love To Just Get Inside
Of A Young Body And Just...
Hmm-Mmm-Mmm, Party."
Why Me?
Well, They Chose You
Because You're Young
And You're Cute.
And They Go Inside
Your Body And They Say
"Hmm, It's A Lovely Place
To Party."
And They Start
Moving Around All Fast--
"Mmm, This Is A Hot Party."
And They Bump Into
The Corpuscles
And Boogie Down With Them.
"Party, Party, Party.
Party, Party, Party."
Mommy Does An Airplane.
You Want A Single-Engine
Or A Jet?
Single-Engine.
Okay. Coming Up.
(Airplane Noise)
Open Up. Open Up.
(Airplane Noise)
There You Go.
Oh, Boy, Huh?
Oh, Looks Good.
Thank You, Daddy.
You're Welcome, Dear.
(Gargling)
(Gargling)
No More Partying In There.
You'll Never
Get Into College
With These Grades.
No Problem.
See, I'm Not
Going To College.
Damn Right.
I'm Going To Finish
High School
Then Get A Job
Like Regular People.
Regular People?
Work In The Gas Station,
Drive A Bus--
Something
Like That.
What You're Saying Is
Your Mother And I Shouldn't
Care If You Get "Ds"
Because You Don't Need Good
Grades To Be Regular People.
Right.
Okay.
Uh...
Suppose You Graduate
From High School--
Let's Say You Just Slide By.
Now, You've Got
To Find A Job.
Now, What Kind Of Salary Do You
Expect For A Regular Person?
Mmm, $ o A Week.
$ o A Week?
Yeah.
Sit Down.
I'm Going To Give You
$ A Week.
Yes, Indeed, $ A Week
$ , A Month.
All Right?
I'll Take It.
Yes, You Will.
And I Will Take
$ o For Taxes.
Whoa!
Yeah, Because, See,
The Government Comes
For The Regular
People First.
Now, How Much Does
That Leave You With?
$ .
All Right.
Now, You've Got To
Have An Apartment
Because You Are Not
Going To Live Here.
So, An Apartment
In Manhattan
Will Run You At Least
$ A Month.
I'll Live In New Jersey.
All Right.
Live In New Jersey
You've Got To
Have A Car.
I'll Ride A Motorbike.
You Need A Helmet.
Figure $ A Month
For Clothes And Shoes.
Figure $ .
I Want To Look Good.
Okay, So What Does
That Leave You With?
Two Hundred Dollars.
So, No Problem.
There Is A Problem.
You Haven't Eaten Yet!
I Can Get By
On Baloney And Cereal.
So, I Got
Everything I Need
Plus $ Left
For The Month.
You Plan To
Have A Girlfriend?
For Sure.
You're A Doctor.
Mom's A Lawyer.
You're Successful,
And That's Great.
But Maybe
I Was Born
To Be A Regular Person
And Have A Regular Life.
If You Weren't A Doctor,
I Wouldn't Love You Less
Because You're My Dad!
And So...
Instead Of Acting Disappointed
Because I'm Not Like You
Maybe You Can
Just Accept Who I Am
And Love Me Anyway
Because I'm Your Son.
Theo.
That's The Dumbest Thing
I've Ever Heard In My Life!
No Wonder You Get
"Ds" In Everything!
You Are Afraid To Try
Because You're Afraid
Your Brain Will Explode
And It Will Ooze
Out Of Your Ears.
Now, I'm Telling You
You Are Going To Try
As Hard As You Can
And You're Going To Do It
Because I Said So!
I Am Your Father.
I Brought You In This World,
And I'll Take You Out.
I've Really Enjoyed This.
Someday, If Sondra And I
Have A Family
I Hope We Can Sit And Talk
As Openly As You Do.
We've Always Encouraged
Our Children To Tell Us
Anything And Everything.
Ohhhh.
Mmm!
Mmm...
Let's Just Remember
This Is How We Got The Children
In The First Place.
Right.
Aw, sh**t!
(Knocking)
Who Is It?
No, No.
When I Say,
"Who Is It?"
It Doesn't Mean
For You To Come In.
When I Say,
"Who Is It"
You Say Who It Is.
(Knocking)
Who Is It?
Who It Is.
You Must Be Sad
That Only Three Of Your Children
Are Still
Living At Home.
Your Children Grow Up
And Go To College.
You Do Miss Them.
That's Why I'll Keep On
Living Right Here.
No, Son, We Want To Experience
The Joy Of Missing You.
Elvin.
Hi, Sondra.
After Our Fight,
You're Here With My Family?
You Should Be
With Your Parents.
I Went Over There,
But Nobody Was Home.
Are You Still
Angry With Me?
I Feel Pretty Good
About Things Now.
You Do?
Every Married Couple
Has A First Argument.
I Think Ours Was
A Pretty Mild One.
The Fight's Over?
Of Course.
When The Huxtables
Get Married
They Stay Married
For A Long Time.
She's Right.
It Runs In The Family.
We Figure,
After Years Of Marriage
Perhaps The Two Of You Need
A Little Romantic Inspiration.
Okay, Now, Here We Go.
