Post by bunniefuu »

Make Way For
The Champion Squash.

I Haven't Won
Any Championship Yet.

We'll Know Today
After The Squash Contest

Who The Champion Is.

Just A Matter Of Time

Before They Give You
The Blue Ribbon.

It Is A Fine-Looking Squash

But That Doesn't Mean
It Will Be The Best.

On The Evening News

They Will Say:

"Here Is Mrs. Clair Huxtable

"Beautiful Mother
Of Five Children.

"We're Here Live
At The Eastland Mall

"Where The Winner
Of The Squash Contest

Will Receive The Blue Ribbon."

Then Hollywood
Will Call

And You'll Have
Your Own Tv Show:

"Let's Talk Squash."

People Will Be
Driving Cars

That Are Designed
To Look Like Squash.

They'll Be Listening
To The Hit Record

"Squash Me, Baby"--

Number One Tune
In The World.

♪ Squash Me, Baby ♪

♪ Downtown, All Night Long ♪

You Are A Disturbed Man.

I Don't Want To Become Famous.

I Just Want People
To See My Squash.

I Have To Go
Turn Over The Soil.

Turn Over The Soil, Baby.

Turn It Over All Night Long.

I Will Sit Here And Guard
This National Treasure.

Hello There, Squash.

I Remember You

When You Were Just A Glimmer
In My Wife's Eyes.

Hey, Mom's Squash.

Yes.

When Are We Leaving
For The Mall?

About A Half Hour From Now.

I Better Check
The Movie Schedule.

I'll Pass On The Movie.

I Want To Look
At New Clothes.

I Want To Buy
New Toys.

No, We're Not Going
To The Mall For Shopping.

We Are Going There
To Support Your Mother

In The Squash Contest.

Dad, Don't Do This To Us.

Don't Do What To Us?

Make Us Go To
The Squash Contest.

Saturday Is Our Only Day Of Fun.

We Don't Want To Look
At Vegetables.

To People Who Are Ingrates,
It Is A Vegetable.

The Squash Has Spent Its
Lifetime Alone In The Back Yard.

I Don't Think Now It Wants Us
Standing Around Staring At It.

First Of All,
We're Talking About Support.

Do You Remember The Recital
When You Played The Clarinet?

That Wonderful Clarinet...

Where You Broke
Three, Four Reeds

Playing Notes Backwards.

Your Mother Stood Up
And Clapped For You

Like You Were... Good.

And, Sir...

May I Bother You To Tell You

About The Shakespearean Play
You Were In

Whereupon You Had
The Lead Part

And Forgot Every Word.

Walked Around The Stage Saying,
"Forsooth, Forsooth."

Your Mother Stood Up At
The End Of That Play, And Said:

"That's My Baby!"

Mom Came To
My Dance Recital

But I Was Good.

No, You Weren't, Dear.

You Guys Are Going To This Mall

And You're Going To Root
For Mom's Squash.

Dad, Can I Ask You Something?

Go Ahead.

Do We Have To Eat
The Squash For Dinner?

If Mom Wins

They'll Keep The Squash
On Display For A Month.

And Then

Maybe A World Tour.

If It Wins,
We Don't Eat It?

Go, Squash, Go!

Go, Squash, Go!

Go, Squash, Go!

Well... Here We Are.

Wow!

So This Is
The Squash Show.

This Is More Exciting
Than I Thought It Would Be.

Me, Too.

Mom, I'm Very Proud
That This Squash

Is Representing
The Huxtable Name.

Aren't The Children
Supportive, Dear?

Your Father Put You
Up To This, Didn't He?

Yeah.

Why Would You Say
Something Like That?

You Told Us
To Always Tell The Truth.

I Didn't Tell You To Tell
The Truth At The Wrong Time.

Mom, I Got
To Be Honest.

I Can't Get Excited
About A Roomful Of Squash.

Can We Cruise The Mall?

Please?

Cliff, It Wouldn't Hurt
To Cut Them Loose.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Okay. Back Here
In A Half Hour.

Take Your
Little Sister.

Rudy?

Yes, You Remember Her.

She Lives In
The House With Us.

Yeah, I Want To Cruise, Too.

But She's Going
To Slow Us Up.

We Want To
Have Some Fun.

Do You Want To Cruise
With Your Little Sister

Or Watch Squash?

Okay, Rudy,
Come With Us.

Thank You Very Much.

I'd Love
To Join You.

Clair, I'm Telling You,
You've Got It!

I'm Looking At
This Other Squash--

It's Pitiful!

It Would
Be Nice

To Have My Squash Acknowledged.

Now You're Thinking.

I'll Go Over

And See What My Man Has
Under This Cover.

You Want To Look At
My Squash, Don't You?

I Was Wondering

Why You Had It Covered
With A Sheet.

Well, Protection.

My Squash Is
Very Sensitive.

When I Was Growing It

I Awakened It Every Morning
With Some Cool Jazz Licks.

♪ Ba Dup Bop Deedly Do Wha Da! ♪

So, Your Squash Likes Jazz?

Oh, You Know It, Daddy-O!

I've Been In This Competition
For Years

And I've Lost Every Year.

If You'll
Excuse Me

I've Got To Get Back To Edna.

Stay Cool, Man.

That's The Only Way

I Know How.

The Record Store
Is To The Left.

But Laytham's
Is That Way.

There's The Toy Store.

We Only Got Minutes.

Let's Decide Where We're Going.

I Got A Plan.

I'm Oldest, So We'll Do
What I Want To Do.

That Plan Stinks.

Oh, My.

Oh, My!

It's Him!
He's Here!

Who?

Him!

Danny
Brenner.

Isn't That The Guy
You Said Is Ugly?

That's When He Was
With Donna Gaffney.

They Broke Up.

So Now He's Not Ugly?

Just Look At Him.

Oh, My!

Oh, My!

Theo, I Have Got
To Meet Him.

Then Go Over There.

I Can't.
He's Too Cute.

You Have To Help Me.

What Am I Supposed To Do?

Have A Key Made.

I'll Follow, And We'll
Have A Conversation.

Vanessa, That's Dumb.

We'll Make A Deal.

Help Me

And I'll Watch Rudy While
You Go To The Record Store.

You're On.

I Want To Make A Deal.

You Got Your Deal.
We Let You Come With Us.

That's A Raw Deal.

Come On.

Can I Help You?

I Need A Copy Of This.

Hi, Theo!

What Are You Doing
At The Mall?

I Had The Day Off

So I Figured,
"Why Not Have A Key Made?"

You're Vanessa Huxtable.

Right.
We're In The Same Class.

And You're Both
In The Mall Today.

Unbelievable!

You Know How To Make Keys?

I Can Make Several At A Time.

Really?

You Must Be A Genius.

Nobody Can Do That.

(Theo Whispering:) Please...

Watch.

Vanessa:
You're Really Good
With That Machine.

It Only Took Me
A Few Hours

To Learn
How To Use It.

Vanessa:
Wow, I'm Impressed.

What Does
That Machine Do?

It Engraves On Metal.

Would You Like Your Name
On Your Keys?

You Engrave, Too?

Whoa!

What Would You Like,
Print Or Script?

That's A Hard Decision.

I May Have To Stay Here
And Think About It.

Uh... Vanessa.

Where's Rudy?

Yeah,
Where Is She?

That's What
I Just Asked You.

Hey, Rudy.

Rudy!

Rudy?

Kim?

What Are You Doing Here?

Trying To Figure Out
Where I Am.

What Are You Doing Here?

It's My Dad's
Sushi Bar.

Are You Allowed To Go
To The Mall By Yourself?

No, I Was With
My Sister And Brother

But They're Stupid.

I Don't Have A Sister

But If I Did,
She'd Be Stupid, Too.

Yeah.

Come On, I'll Show You
The Restaurant.

I Can't Believe
We Lost Her.

We Didn't Lose Her.

We Just Can't Find Her.

When I Was Eight,
I Got Lost In The Supermarket.

I Was So Scared.

I Thought I'd Never
See Mom And Dad Again.

You're Making Me Think Of Rudy
Standing Somewhere Crying.

She Probably Is.

This Is Your Fault.

You Were Supposed
To Keep An Eye On Her.

Well, So Were You.

The Only Reason This Happened
Is Because You're Boy Crazy.

I Knew Your Problem Would
Get Me In Trouble One Day.

Announcer:
Good Afternoon, Shoppers.

The Judging Of
The Squash Competition

Is About To Begin.

We Can't Go Back
Without Rudy.

If Rudy Went Back

She'll Tell Them
We Weren't Watching Her.

We've Had It.

You're Faster Than Me.

Get Back There
Before She Does.

You Check The Toy Store.

If I See Her, I'll Apologize.

No, No!

If You Apologize, She'll Think
We Did Something Wrong.

Tell Her We Thought She Was
Old Enough To Go On Her Own.

Good Idea.

Okay.
Okay.

Theo, Where Are
Vanessa And Rudy?

Uh, Well, They're Not Here.

We Know That.

Where Are They?

They're In The Mall Somewhere.

You Didn't Stay With Them?

Of Course I Stayed With Them.

But I Gave Them A Little Slack

Because Sisters Need
To Get To Know Each Other.

Please Go Get Your Sisters.

The Judging's Already Started.

Sure, Okay.

Gosh.

You Didn't
Find Her?

I Looked Everywhere--

The Toy Store, The Pet Store,
The Video Arcade.

This Is A Nightmare.

We're In Trouble.

Trouble?

Vanessa, We Lost
Our Little Sister.

We're Beyond Trouble.

What Do You Think
Mom And Dad Will Do To Us?

You're Lucky.

You're Only .

There Are Laws
To Protect You.

But I'm Older.

They Could Send Me
To The Penitentiary.

You're Only .

You're Not Old Enough
For Prison Yet.

Yeah, But I'm Old Enough
To Go Into The Service.

Dad Will Sign Me Up
To The Marines.

He's Wanted To Do That For Years

But He Was Waiting
For A Major Screw-Up.

We've Got To Find Rudy.

We Could
Have Her Paged.

No, If Mom And Dad Hear It,
They'll Know She's Lost.

Okay, Then Let's Talk
To A Policeman.

Okay, We'll Search
Every Corner Of The Mall.

If We Don't Find Her,
We'll Get A Policeman

And He Can Come With Us
When We Tell Mom And Dad.

We'll Need The Protection.

Rudy:
Wow, That's Neat.

Kim:
My Dad Can Do All Kinds
Of Things With Vegetables.

Oh, Hi, Kimiko-Chan.

Hi, Rudy.

Hi, Mr. Ogawa.

What Brings You Here?

Rudy Was With
Her Brother And Sister

But They're Stupid.

Are You Lost?

No, If I
Was Lost

I'd Find A Policeman And Say:

"I'm Rudy Huxtable.

I Live At Stigwood Avenue."

Fine, You're Not Lost.

I Would Feel Better
If Your Parents Knew That.

They're At The Squash Show.

Let's See Them.

Okay.

This Judge Has Got
To Come On Now.

I'm Getting Nervous.

Don't Worry.

Just Concentrate On This

And Don't Forget

Behind Every Great Woman,
Is A Great Man.

Hi, Rudy.
Hi.

Hey.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Mr. Ogawa.

Rudy Was At
My Sushi Restaurant.

She Tells Me She's Not Lost

But I Thought
I Would Check With You.

Thanks Very Much.

Where Are Vanessa And Theo?

I Don't Know.

They Let You Wander Around?

They Had Things To Do.

Oh, I See.

Can I Go Back
To The Sushi Bar?

I Don't Mind.

She And Kim
Are Having Fun.

Okay, We'll Pick You Up
Afterwhile.

Okay.

All Right.

I Hope Your Squash Wins,
But If It Doesn't

I'll Be Happy

To Eat It
For Dinner.

Thanks, Rudy.

Thank You,
Mr. Ogawa.

I'll See You
Later, Kim.

Bye-Bye.

We're Going
To Have A Word

With Theo And Vanessa.

When They Do Show Up,
You Just Follow What I Do, Okay?

Okay.

They're Coming.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Hey, How's
The Mall Been?

Oh, Fine.

Listen, About Rudy...

What About Her?

She's Not Here.

You're Saying
You Don't Know

Where She Is?

Dad, We Were Watching Her.

We Turned Around,
And She Wasn't There.

She Was With You.

Yes.

She's Lost.

Yeah.
Yeah.

Oh, Well, Then,
Let Her Stay Lost.

Let Her Stay Lost?

She Was Told To Stay
With The Two Of You.

She Didn't Listen,
And She Wandered Around

So Just Leave Her Out There.

That Girl Might
Never See Us Again.

It Would Teach Her
A Lesson.

And It Would Make
Our Lives A Lot Easier.

It's A Good Thing
You Two Made It Back.

Shouldn't We Look For Rudy?!

Listen, We Have Five Children.

When You Have Five Children

By The Time You Get
To The Fifth One

And You Have To Tell That Child
The Same Thing Over And Over

You Get Tired Of Talking
To Hard-Headed People.

So Just
Leave Her
Out There.

She Knew She Should
Stay With You.

She Didn't, So She
Pays The Penalty.

What If Somebody
Grabbed Her And Ran Off?

You Think That Might Happen?

Yes!

She's Only Eight.

Then Why Didn't You
Think Of That

Before You Let The Girl
Go Wandering

All Over
The Mall?

What Is It Between Your Ears
And Your Brain That's Dislodged?

Every Time
We Say

"Watch Your Sister"

By The Time It Goes Through
Your Ear And Travels

It Changes To, "Let Her
Wander Around The Mall."

And I Just Wish

That I Could Find Something
That Could Fix It.

A Screwdriver,
Or Maybe A Brick.

Your Sister's
In The Sushi Bar
With Her Friend.

She Is?

You're Not Kidding.

You Don't Know
How Worried I Was.

Me, Too.

Since She's Not Lost
Or Anything

Is It Okay If Go
Over To The Key-Osk?

What Is
"The Key-Osk"?

They Make Keys There.

Vanessa, By The Time
This Day Is Over

You Won't Have A Place
To Put A Key In.

You Two Go Outside And
Wait In The Car For Us.

No, Wait Under The Car.

Now Go Ahead.

Do We Really
Have To Wait In The Car?

Under The Car.

Oh, Lovely.

Simply Lovely.

I Didn't Win.

You Won.

I Didn't Win.

You Won.

And Now The Results

Of Our th Annual
Winter Squash Competition.

Just Say
I Didn't Win, Sir.

In Third Place...

Estelle Drake.

(Screaming)

Thank You.

I Couldn't Even Make
Third Place.

The Runner Up...

Clair Huxtable.

Oh, My!

Thank You Very Much.

And Our Blue-Ribbon Winner...

Norman Kirby.

Oh! Ah! I Won!

It Was Actually Me.

I Won.

Ah! Oh!

Put In On There.

Thank You, Sir.

Thank You
Very Much.

When, In The Course
Of Human Events

A Man Grows A Squash,
And He Hopes That Squash

Will One Day Be Known As
"The Big One."

Edna Is My Big One.

My Only Regret Is That
My Wife Couldn't Be Here

To Share This Moment.

She Walked Out
One Year Too Soon.

Make Way For
Clair Huxtable

And Her Prize-Winning
Squash, Torpedo.

I Think It Looks
Just As Good With
A Red Ribbon.

Yes, Indeed.

The Question Is
What Do We Do With It?

Cut It Up And Eat It.

Oh, Cliff, You Can't.

If We Put It Up On The Shelf,
The Thing Will Get Old.

Then Those Little Black Flies
Will Come All Around.

At Least It Wouldn't Suffer.

You're Talking To A Surgeon.

It Won't Feel A Thing.

I Can't Watch.

You Don't Have To.

Come On, Little Fellow, Torpedo.

We're Going To Take You
To A Little Private Place.
