05x04 - Move It/The Baby Game

[bunniefuu]

You Better Get
The Potatoes Started.

Mom And Dad Will
Be Here Soon.

I'm On It.

One Order Of
Sauteed Potatoes Coming Up.

Oh, Baby, The Table Setting
Looks Fabulous.

I Like To Make
Things Extra Special

When Mom
And Dad Come Over.

Honey, Look!

Ahh, The Potatoes!

( Knocking )

That's Mom And Dad.

Hello, Hello!

Just A Minute!

( Knocking )

Come In!

Cliff:
What's Going On?

Hey!

Mom, Dad.

What's The Matter?

What Do You Got?

Hi.
Come On In.

Looks Like We'll Have
To Eat Out Tonight.

A Little
Grease Fire.

Nothing Ruined.

You're In For
A Delicious Meal.

Let's Get
A Little Air In Here.

Elvin:
Dad...

Let Me Give You A Hand.

There's A Little
Trick To That.

Hammer Here.

One... Two...
Three, Four.

Hand Me The Phone.

The Phone?

Yeah.

Thanks A Lot.

Now Why Didn't
I Think Of That?

Mom And Dad,
Look Around.

You Notice
Anything Different?

Umm...

Oh, Your Neighbors Across
The Way Have New Curtains.

Come On, You're Not
Looking Close Enough.

Okay.

Come On.

♪ Ta-Da! ♪

This Is The Baby's Room.

The Baby's Room.

Behind A Screen.

This Way The Baby Has Privacy...

( Crying Like A Baby )

...And We Have Privacy.

If You Get Enough Of These
Chinese Screens

You Could Turn This
Into A Nine-Room Apartment.

Why Doesn't
Everyone Sit Down?

I'll Help You Serve.

Help Me, Because
The Last Time I Was Here

Wherever I Sat,
Something Fell Apart.

It's Not
Like That Anymore.

Pick A Seat.

What About
The Arm On This One?

I Remember This Arm...

But This Is...

You See
What I Did?

I Took An Arm From Another Chair
To Fix This Chair.

Yes, You Did.

Why Are The Wires
Hanging Out Of The Wall?

This Is Another One
Of My Repairs.

This Used To Be
Three Bare Wires

But I Put An Outlet On It.

I Can Plug An Air Conditioner
In Here Now.

You Can Put
An Air Conditioner There

If You Get A Window.

Oh.

Shouldn't The Landlord Be
Doing The Electrical Work?

I Called Mr. Reeder
About Six Times

But It's Like
Wasting Your Time

So I Figured
I'd Do It.

Keep At Him.

Lots Of Landlords Try
Getting Out Of Doing Repairs.

Well, Bon Appetit.

Okay.

What Kind
Of Meat Was This?

That's Veal.
We Splurged.

How Long Did You Cook It, Son?

Uh... Six Hours.

Elvin, Veal Only Takes
About An Hour To Cook.

Our Stove Only
Goes Up To Degrees.

I Cook It
A Few Extra Hours

And Then I Zap It
In The Microwave

To Seal In The Juices.

You Cooked This For Eight Hours

And Then Put It
In The Microwave?

How About
Some Hot Dogs?

I Can Pop Them
In The Microwave.

Hot Dog!

Get With
The Hot Dogs.

Make My Done.

Coming Up.

Okay.

Mom, Have A Roll,
They're Homemade.

Thank You, Sweetie.

Yeah.

These Are Potatoes,
Aren't They?

All Right.

Sort Of Cajun Style.

A Cajun Experiment.

Burned On The Outside...

And, Uh...

Raw On The Inside.

Crispy, Dad.

They're Crispy On The Inside.

I Got To Wash This Stuff Down.

Wash It Down
With A Glass Of Water.

( Pipes Banging )

Cliff:
Hey!

Look Out There.

That Happens When
Someone Takes A Shower

On The Third Floor.

I Can Believe It.

I'll Send This
To The Lab In The Morning.

You're Paying Rent
And Having A Baby.

You Need Clean Water.

We're Getting Bottled Water.

( expl*si*n )

Dive! Dive! Dive!

It's All Right, Mom, Dad.

Come Up, Dad,

It's The Hot Dogs--
They Exploded.

Elvin:
It's Not Like I Don't Know
How To Use This Thing

But We Have These
Power Surges All The Time.

Well, We Invented Something--
Wiener Bits.

Elvin, Call The Landlord And Ask
Him To Come Down Here Right Now.

He's Probably Having Dinner.

Come Here, Elvin.

Call The Landlord!

I See A Lot Of Cases
Of Landlord Neglect.

You Have
To Stay On Them.

Hello, Mr. Reeder?

Yes, It's Elvin Tibideaux.

Five-B.

Yeah, Hi.

We're Having Problems
With The Water And Pipes

The Electricity
And Some Other Things, Too.

I Was Wondering, Could You...

I Mean, Is It Possible
If You Could Maybe Come Up?

No, That's Fine.

Next Week Is Okay.

Tell Him Your
Mother-In-Law Is Here

And She's An Attorney.

My Mother-In-Law,
Who Is Here Now

Would Like You To Know
That She's An Attorney.

Oh, Great.

Great, Thanks.

Thanks A Lot.

Bye-Bye.

He's Coming Right Up.

Mom, Please,
When He Comes Here

Let Us Handle It.

Well, Of Course.

This Is Your Home.

( Tuba Music )

Elvin:
That's Fritz.

He Plays Tuba
In A Polka Band.

Does He Play Often?

Only During The Day.

Sometimes We Move
The Furniture And Dance.

( Knocking )

Hi, Mr. Reeder.

Evening, Mr. Tibideaux,
Mrs. Tibideaux.

I'd Like You
To Meet My In-Laws.

My Father-In-Law

Dr. Huxtable.

My Mother-In-Law,
The Attorney.

I Got Here
As Fast As I Could.

Mr. Reeder, We Need
To Discuss Something With You.

The Brown Water...
We Don't Want It Anymore.

But I Have Explained
That To You.

The Entire Building
Needs A Plumbing Overhaul.

If I Do That, I Have
To Raise Everyone's Rents.

Can You Fix That Window?

Okay, That I Can Do.

( Beep Beep Beep )

That's My Beeper,
I Got To Go.

That Guy Works Too Hard.

Every Time He's Here,
He Gets Beeped.

He Has Somebody Beep Him
To Give Him An Excuse To Leave.

You Think So?

He Should Be Reported
To The Housing Authorities.

The Papers Will Be
On My Desk Monday Morning

Because I Don't
Want My Grandchild

Growing Up In This Place--

Sticking His Fingers In Sockets

Drinking Brown Water
From Behind That Screen.

You Need To Think About
The Child Being Able To Sleep

Through The Night
Without People Showering

And The Sink
Attacking The Child.

Are You Saying I Can't
Take Care Of My Own Child?

That's Not What I'm Saying.

You Implied It.

You Look Like You're
Going To Knock Somebody Down.

That's Not What I Implied.

Could We Not Do This?

She's Pregnant
And Shouldn't Get Upset.

Everybody Needs
To Settle Down

So That We Can State Calmly
What We Want To Say.

I Want To Say, Very Calmly

The Two Of You Should
Very Seriously Consider

Getting Out Of This Apartment.

If It's A Problem Of Money,
Moving To A New Place...

Mom, Dad, We've Told You
Many Times Before

We Insist On
Supporting Ourselves.

We Appreciate Your Offer,
But No Thank You.

Okay, Fine.

Then Stay Here.

Okay, Fine.

We Will.

Fine.

Fine.

Brown Water Coming Out
Of The Faucet.

A Microwave

That Gives Power Surges

And Turns Veal
Into Rubber Tires.

I Looked Out The Window.

A Pigeon On The Ledge
Was Looking At Me Going...

You Should See Them
When They're In This Place.

They Love It.

They Say It Has "Character."

You Won't Get Those Two
Out Of That Apartment.

Russell Is Right.

You Have A Daughter Who Is
As Muleheaded As You Were.

I Always Told You That Some Day
You'd Have A Child

That Frustrated You
Like You Frustrated Me.

I'm Glad I'm Around To See It.

But I'm Not
The Issue Here.

Anna:
You Are
The Issue.

She Learned All She Knows
About Stubbornness From You.

Mom...

Don't "Mom" Me.

I Remember It Clearly.

You Were In Med School.

Clair Was Carrying Sondra.

You Lived In
A One-Room Apartment

Over A Trucking Company.

Anna:
I Always
Said To You

"Heathcliff, Let Your Father
And Me Help You."

But You Were
Too Proud.

The Original Mulehead.

It Was Homey
And Clair Loved It.

When Did I Ever Say
I Loved It?

Huh?

When Did I Ever Say
I Loved It?

I Said I Would Live In It
Because I Loved You.

It Was A Dump.

So, Denise,
How's It Been Going?

I'm Here To Talk About You Guys.

Well, What's Up?

I Heard You Guys Had
A Fight With Mom And Dad.

Yeah, We Did.

I've Been
Behind You Guys %.

When You Dropped Out
Of Law School, Med School

I Thought, "That's Great.

They're Deciding
To Live Their Own Lives."

When You Told Me

That You Wanted To Open
A Wilderness Store

I Thought,
"It's A Little Flaky

But Those Wacky Kids
Might Make It Work."

But When Mom And Dad Told Me
That You Turned Down

Their Offer To Help
You Move Into A Better Apartment

I Thought, "They're Nuts."

Come On, Pack Up, Move.

Wait A Minute.

Did Mom And Dad
Put You Up To This?

No.

They Don't Know I'm Here.

We Like Our Apartment,
Even If You Don't.

I'm Not Putting Down
Your Apartment.

It's Got Character,
It's Charming

But You Can't Act Like Children
For The Rest Of Your Lives.

It's Time To Grow Up.

Who Are You Telling
To Grow Up?

You Dropped Out Of School.

When Mom And Dad
Wanted You To Go Back

You Wouldn't Listen.

That Is Because, In My Case,
Mom And Dad

Didn't Make
Any Sense.

They Know What They're
Talking About Here.

You Guys
Are Having A Baby.

A Little Bambino.

Another Life.

Would You Actually Consider
Raising A Kid In This Place?

Denise, As Long As
We Love This Child

It Doesn't Matter
Where We Raise It.

As Soon As This Kid Can Talk,
It Will Say

"Call Me A Taxi."

I Don't Remember
A More Difficult Time.

Every Time I Turn Around,
A Kid Has Bad News.

Well, Hello, Everybody!

Oh, Lord.

Grandma,
Grandpa.

I'm Glad
You're Here For This.

There Are Some People
In The Living Room

Who Have Something
To Say To You.

Don't Say Anything.

Just Follow Me.

I Know What This Is About.

She's Told All The Children
To Drop Out Of School

And They're Making
An Album Called

"Parents Don't Know
What They're Doing".

Hi.
Hi.

Denise:
Let's Get
Started.

Something Happened Last Night

That Involved Bad Feelings
Between Members Of This Family

So It's Appropriate

That We Kick Off This Meeting
With Some Apologies.

Sondra? Elvin?

We're Sorry.

We're Very Sorry.

Denise:
Mom? Dad?

Sondra Just Apologized.

We Accept.

Dad, I Told Sondra And Elvin

That I'd Be Able
To Get You Guys To Apologize.

That's Your Problem.

We Apologize.

We Are Very Sorry
That We Had Words Last Night.

Cliff?

What?

Right.

Mom And Dad, We Came Over

Because We Agree That
For The Baby's Sake

We Need A New Apartment.

All Right!

Oh.

We Need To Borrow Money

So That We Can Get
A Larger Place In Better Shape.

We're Happy
To Hear That.

And We'd Like To Give You
The Conditions

Under Which We Will

Borrow
The Money.

You're Going To Tell Us
The Conditions

Under Which You're
Going To Borrowour Money?

Dad, Just Hear Them Out.

Number One, You Have
To Charge Interest.

You Better Believe That.

If We Don't Pay You Back
Within One Year

You Charge Us
A Five Percent Penalty.

I Can Think Of
Even Better Than That.

And We Offer You
As Collateral

All Of Our Furniture.

What Else You Got?

Just Our Word.

That's Better
Than The Furniture.

It's A Deal.

Perhaps You Should
Shake On This.

All Right.

Consider Shook.

Elvin,
If I Were You

I Would Have Insisted
On One More Term.

What's That?

At No Time
Can Cliff Hold It Over You

That You Owe Him.

Yeah.

It's Too Late.

We Already Shook On It.

Hey, What's
Everybody Doing?

Sondra And Elvin Are Moving.

Where?

We Don't Know Yet.

We're Looking.

There's An Apartment
I Saw Today.

It Would Be
Perfect For You.

It Was Understood
That You Would Live In A Dorm.

Oh, Well, I Wasn't Officially
Looking At The Apartment.

I Couldn't Resist
The Ad In The Paper

So I Checked It Out.

It's Circled.

"Bachelor Pleasure Den,
Young Singles Building..."

No, No, No.

No, No, No.

Elvin, The Other One
That's Circled.

Ah, Yeah.

"One Bedroom, Family Building."

Honey, Look.

We Should
Go Check It Out.

I'm All For That.

Let's Get
To The Station Wagon.

I'll Stay Here.

I Don't Want
To See It

Till Someone Assures Me
It Won't Give Me Nightmares.

"And Then Marlo Myers,
Famous Girl Detective

"Looked The Evil Scientist
In The Eye And Said...

"'I'm Not Afraid Of You,
Dr. Dread.

I Have The Truth
On My Side.'"

"Dr. Dread Took A Step Forward
And Laughed Evilly.

"'Heh-Heh-Heh-Heh.'

"Then Marlo Myers Picked Up
An Ancient Egyptian Vase

"And Said...

"'We'll See
Who Laughs Last

""When You Get This
Between The Eyes.

Heh-Heh-Heh.'"

Hey.

Hey, Grandpa.

Hey, Grandpa.

Where's
Everybody Else?

They Are At Sondra
And Elvin's Packing Boxes.

They've Taken The Apartment?

They Loved It.

Everybody Flipped Out
When They Walked In.

Even Dad Admitted
I Came Through.

What's It Like?

It's Nothing Spectacular.

The Water's Clean.

They Get Power All The Time.

You Know What I Mean?

Nothing Is
Making Noises.

And The Pigeon
On The Windowsill Said...

Let's Have A Toast.

Let's Lift

Our Glasses High

And Honor Sondra, Elvin,
And Their New Apartment.

Hear! Hear!

Let's Have A Toast

To The Fact
That Sondra And Elvin

Are Moving To A Place
With Clear Water.

( Knocking )

I Wonder Who
That Could Be.

Mr. Reeder, Hi.

I Have A Couple

Who Are Interested
In The Apartment.

Could I Show It
To Them?

Does Anyone Mind?

Bring Them In.

Mr. And Mrs. Jenkins,
This Way, Please.

Sorry For
Intruding.

Hi.

Well,
Here You Are.

This Is Nice.

I Know.

We've Seen
A Lot Of Places

But Nothing
Comes Close To This.

You're Interested?

We'll Take It.

Let's Go Down
To My Office

And You Can
Sign The Lease.

Umm, Sweetie Pie

The Furniture Really
Goes With The Apartment.

It's Eclectic Funk.

I Wonder If They're
Taking It With Them.

It Doesn't Hurt To Ask.

Excuse Us.

We Were Wondering
If You'd Consider

Selling Us
Your Furniture.

We Were Thinking
Of Taking It With Us.

No, You Weren't.

Make Us An Offer.

Is $ Fair?

Ten Dollars.

We Just Graduated
From Yale A Week Ago.

Your Parents Must Be Tickled.

Yeah.
They Are.

Nobody Could Be Happier
For You Than Me.

Let's Go Downstairs.

Thank You.

Bye-Bye.

Oh, What About
That Cracked Window?

It Will Be Fixed
By The End Of The Week.

You'll Be Gone, Too.
