( Telephone Ringing )
I Got It.
It's For Me.
It's My Date.
Huxtable Residence.
Yeah, He's In.
Just A Second, Please.
Hee Hee Hee!
Hello?
Jerry. Yes.
Don't Stay On Long.
No, No.
That Wasn't My Nurse. That Was My Daughter.
She's Home From College For The Weekend.
You Want To Make The Rounds With Me?
Sure You Can.
You're My Favorite Med Student.
Sure.
Meet Me At My House.
Okay. See You Then, Partner.
( Doorbell )
El Roberto!
How Are You?
Hi, Dr. Huxtable.
Is Vanessa Here?
Yes, Yes, Yes.
She's In The Kitchen With Tyrone And Aaron.
I Haven't Seen You In A While.
After Vanessa And I Broke Up
I Decided Not To Come Around For A While.
I Knew The Shock Of The Breakup Would Be Rough
On You And Mrs. Huxtable.
Yes. Well, That's Very Considerate Of You.
Thank You For Giving Us Time To Get Over It.
Where Is Mrs. Huxtable?
She's Still At Church Doing Some Committee Work.
That's Nice.
You Mind If I Sit Down?
Go Ahead.
From What I've Seen
You And Mrs. Huxtable Have A Beautiful Relationship.
I Hope You Appreciate It.
Yes, We Do, And Thank You For Being Concerned.
I'd Love To Have A Marriage Like Yours Someday
But I Doubt I Ever Will.
Son, How Old Are You?
Thirteen.
Yes, Well, First Things First.
Before Marriage, I Think What's Important
Is For You To Get A Job.
You're Right, Dr. Huxtable, But As A Great Man Once Said:
"A Lonely Man Is Only Half A Man."
Dr. Huxtable, I Really Need Guidance With My Life.
What Kind Of Guidance?
I Was Going Steady With Debbie
But Stephanie And I Made A Pact
That If She Broke Up With Todd And I Broke Up With Debbie
We Would Go Steady.
So Todd Broke Up With Stephanie
And I Went Steady With Her Until Amy's Party
And After I Danced With Amy
I Knew That She Was For Me
Because Stephanie Was A Sagittarius
And I Was A Libra.
That's Why I Was Surprised When Amy Broke Up With Me
Because She's A Capricorn And I'm A Libra.
We Should Have Been Cosmically In Synch.
Well, I Think You Probably Threw All The Planets Out Of Synch
Because You Had Too Many Women.
That's A Good One.
That's A Good One?
I Needed That Laugh.
Well, Good.
Uh, Robert...
Yeah?
Vanessa Is In The Kitchen
With Tyrone And Aaron.
Why Don't You Join Them?
Oh, I'm In No Rush.
I'd Rather Stay Out Here With You And Talk Life.
My Planets Are In Synch.
And I Have To Go To Work.
Oh.
Okay, All Right.
Okay.
Robert?
Oh, Hi, Dr. Huxtable.
I Thought Everybody Went To The Movie.
Why Are You Here?
I Felt Like Doing Some Dishes.
Are You Having Trouble At Home, Son?
No. No, That's Not It.
It's Your Daughter, Dr. Huxtable.
I Thought I Was Over Her.
But Seeing Her With Tyrone And Aaron
Brought Back The Pain--
Twice The Pain.
I'm Dying Inside.
Really?
That's Why I Stayed Behind.
I Wanted To Talk With Someone
Who Would Be Sensitive To My Sorrow.
Can I Get You Something To Drink?
I'm Too Young.
Apple Juice, Boy!
Oh!
Dr. Huxtable, You Know Vanessa.
I Want Her Back. Could You Talk To Her?
Sure.
I'll Tell Her, "Robert's Dying Inside."
That Would Be Nice.
If She Says, "I Won't Go Back"
I'll Throw Her Out.
No, That Isn't What I'm Trying To Say.
What Are You Trying To Say?
Why Don't You Tell Her How You Feel?
I Didn't Think I Had To.
Really?
We've Always Been In Tune
With Each Other.
I Thought She'd Sense My Vibrations.
Robert, I Think You Need To Stop Vibrating So Much...
And You Have To Start Communicating.
You're Right.
This Is A Big Help.
Thank You For Being So Generous With Your Wisdom.
I'll Pay You Back.
Uh-Uh.
Hey, Robert.
Hey.
Why Are You Here?
Just Visiting.
Oh. Where's Vanessa?
At The Movies.
I Talked With Your Dad
But He Went Out For Air.
Well, It's Good To See You.
Theo.
I Need To Talk To You.
What's Up?
I've Got A Date.
I've Never Met Him, So I Need Your Help.
You Do?
He Goes To School In Boston
And Some Friends Thought We'd Get Along Perfectly.
We Exchanged Phone Numbers
And We've Been Calling Long Distance--
But You Never Know.
So You Meet Him, And Tell Me Your Opinion.
Once You Date Him, You'll Have Your Own Opinion.
I Might Be Wrong, Because He'll Try And Impress Me
But Around You, He'll Be Himself.
I Can Give You My Opinion, Too.
Right.
Will You Do It?
Sure. No Problem.
Come Upstairs And Give Me Your Report.
No, When You Come Down
Ask Me What The Weather's Like.
If I Like Him, I'll Give A Good Report.
If I Don't, I'll Give A Bad One.
Okay.
When's He Coming?
About An Hour.
Thanks.
Well, We've Got An Hour.
Time Enough...
For Us To Have A Talk About Love And Life.
Let's Go Play Basketball.
We Can't Talk If We're Playing Basketball.
I Know.
( Doorbell )
Hey!
Jerry!
Dr. Huxtable. How Are You?
My Favorite Med Student.
You're Early.
This Is The First Time I've Made Rounds.
I Didn't Want To Be Late.
All Right. Give Me Your Coat.
Wait A Minute. Where's Your Tie?
You Didn't Mention A Tie.
Listen, The First Thing You Learn As A Med Student--
When You're Making The Rounds, Wear A Tie.
I'll Get One.
No, No, No.
I Have Just The Right Thing For You.
I Have A Tie--
The One I Used To Wear When I Was A Resident
But It's Lucky.
I'll Get It For You.
Make Yourself At Home.
If You See Mrs. Huxtable's Pocketbook, Don't Go Through It.
That Was A Cool Jump Shot.
Thanks, Man.
Not As Good As Mine, Though.
How Ya Doing?
I'm Theo, Denise's Brother.
This Is Robert.
We Heard You Were Coming Over.
We've Looked Forward To Meeting You.
Have You Been Waiting Long?
No, I Just Got Here.
Have A Seat.
We'll Keep You Company.
Thanks. I Appreciate It.
No Problem.
We'd Like To Get To Know You.
What's Your Sign?
Sign?
Your Birthday?
Oh, November 19th.
Scorpio.
You're Passionate And True To Yourself.
Thanks.
Are You In College, Too?
Yeah, Med School.
A Lot Of Girls Go For Guys In Med School, Right?
No, Not Really.
I'll Bet You Have A Couple Of Girlfriends.
No, I'm Not Into That. I'm A One-Woman Man.
Theo...
Oh, Hi!
Hi.
When Did You Get Here?
A Couple Of Minutes Ago.
It's Me, Denise.
Yeah, We Talked On The Phone.
Nice To Meet You.
Robert And I Kept Him Company.
Oh, Great.
So, How's The Weather?
It's Kind Of Cold.
Yeah, But It's Clear And Beautiful.
I'm Glad.
I'd Say A High-Pressure System
Will Remain In The Area Throughout The Evening.
Thank You, Robert.
Let's Go. Nice Meeting You.
Have Fun.
Denise: Bye-Bye.
See You Later.
So, Sit Down.
Gosh, It's Really Nice
To Meet You Face To Face.
Talking On The Phone Was Getting Expensive.
It Was Just A Local Call.
Oh.
Right-- "Local Call."
That's What We'll Call It.
We Make Lots Of "Local Calls."
So... Gosh, I Like The Way You Dress.
Thanks.
Your Dad's Upstairs Getting Me A Tie.
You Don't Need A Tie.
Your Dad Said I Did.
I Don't Believe Him!
I'm Sorry.
No, It's Okay. I Agreed With Him.
You Did?
I Agree With Most Of What Your Dad Says.
You Do?
Yeah, He's A Great Man.
I'm Glad He's Teaching Me Everything He Knows.
He Is?
Yeah.
Hey!
My Lucky Tie.
Ewww!
Don't Make Him Wear That!
No. It's Okay.
I'll Be Proud To Wear It.
All Right!
Well, Let's Hit It!
It Was Nice Meeting You.
Where Are You Going?
To The Hospital
With Your Dad.
You Are?
He's Making Rounds With Me.
Okay, Dad. When Will You Be Back?
We'll Be Back In Two, Three Hours.
Okay.
See You Later. Bye.
Hello?
Dad, You Just Left With My Date.
What's Wrong?
Dad Just Left With The Guy I Was Going Out With.
He Just Walked Out With Him.
He Gave Him A Tie.
He Must Have Liked Him.
Why Am I Even Here?
I Have Nothing To Do Tonight Now.
Where You Going?
I Need Some Water.
( Knocking )
Hi.
Uh, Can I Come In?
No. I'm Not Allowed To Open The Door For Strangers.
I'm Greg Martinson. I'm Denise's Date.
Denise Said You Left With My Dad.
I Just Got Here.
Could I Come In?
You're Still A Stranger.
Could You Tell Denise That I'm Here?
Okay.
Now?
Sure. I'll Run.
Denise! Denise!
Yeah?
Do You Still Want A Date?
What?
There's A Guy At The Door
Looking For A Date.
Rudy, Don't Joke Around.
I'm Not. He's Waiting For You Outside.
What Does He Look Like?
Nice.
"Nice," Huh?
Does This Nice-Looking Gentleman Have A Name?
Yeah, Uh...
Greg... Martins...
Greg Martinson?
That's It!
He Left With Dad.
Well, He's Back.
This Is Not The Guy Who Left With Dad.
He's The One That's Looking For A Date.
Hi.
Are You Denise?
I'm Greg.
We Have A Date.
Greg Martinson Was Already Here.
I Don't Think I Was.
The Greg Martinson I've Talked To Long Distance?
Yeah.
Look, I Have Identification.
You Look Better In Person.
Thanks.
Please Come In.
I Don't Even Know What Happened.
We've Only Talked On The Phone
And I Was Getting Nervous
So I Had My Brother Sit With You
To Give Me A Weather Report.
You Got A Very Good Report.
Then My Dad Comes Down, Gives Him A Tie...
And You're Here, And It's Nice To Meet You.
Same Here.
Let Me Get Over Your Being Here
But My Dad Took You Away.
Well, Sit Down, Handsome.
Well, Greg Martinson...
Tell Me About Yourself.
( Drumming Sounds )
Hi.
Hey.
Dad, This Is Greg Martinson.
Greg, My Father, Dr. Huxtable.
How Are You, Greg?
( Clears Throat )
Oh, This Is Robert. No Relation.
I'm Working On It, Though.
Dad, Go Ahead. Sit Down.
Thank You.
Guess This Is It, Huh?
Yeah, I Guess This Is It.
What Time's Your First Class Tomorrow?
Um... 11:Oo.
How About You?
9:00.
Well, Thanks For... Everything.
Yeah, I Had A Really Nice Time.
Well, Bye.
I've Got To Go.
Bye.
I'll Call.
Okay.
So Why Didn't You Kiss Him?
You Guys.
You Could Have Gone Upstairs
Or In The Kitchen.
Really?
Yes.
This Is My House.
You're Lucky I Didn't Go Over And Stand Between Both Of You.
Well, I Had A Fabulous Time, Regardless.
Good.
How About You?
Did You Have A Good Time?
Robert And I? We Were Here Cookin'.
Downtown!
Well, Good.
I'll Leave You Two Alone.
No, Don't Do That.
Stay And Talk.
( Drumming Sounds )
Say, Say, Say!
Did You Take The Dishes Out Of The Dishwasher?
No.
There You Go.
Downtown.
There It Is.
Hi, Dad.
How Was The Movie?
Disgusting. Aaron And Tyrone Stayed To See It Again.
There's Someone In The Kitchen Waiting To Talk To You.
Who?
He's Been Here All This Time?
Yes, Indeed.
Is He Upset About Seeing Me With Tyrone And Aaron?
He's Upset About Not Seeing You With Him.
Dad, I Can't Go In There.
Please Go In There.
Because If You Don't
This Boy Will Stay In This House For The Rest Of My Life.
Hi, Robert.
Hi.
I Have Something To Say To You.
I Would Like For Us To Go Steady Again.
I'm Flattered
But I Don't Think That's Right For Us.
Sure, It's Right.
We're Like A Bow And Arrow--
Take One Away, The Other's Useless.
Not If You Find Another Arrow.
I Think You're Upset
Because Three Girls Broke Up With You This Month
And You're Feeling Desperate.
Maybe, But A Great Man Said, "Even In Desp..."
Robert.
Yeah?
What Man?
I Don't Know. I Forgot.
Then I Don't Want To Hear It.
It's A Great Saying.
Tell Me Who Said It, Or I Won't Listen.
Who Cares Who Said It?
Robert, I'm Telling You This As A Friend--
You Have A Problem.
Yes-- That You Won't Go Steady With Me.
No-- That You Quote All These Sayings.
You're 13, And You Talk Like You're 63.
You're Right.
I Do.
Now Will You Take Me Back?
As My Friend.
I Want To Be Your Boyfriend.
Robert, You Once Told Me
"A Ship That Sails Backwards Never Sees The Sunrise."
What Did I Mean By That?
You Meant That In Life You Must Always Go Forward.
But I Hoped We'd Go Together.
We Will...
As Friends.
Okay, I Hear What You're Saying.
Good. Who Knows What The Future Holds?
Maybe I'll Feel Differently In Time.
Vanessa?
Yeah?
Would It Speed Things
If I Begged?
Oh.
You Are Looking At One Tired Dog.
How Could You Be Tired?
I've Been Up Since Early This Morning, Dear.
You Got Some Sleep.
No, I Just Had A Little Nap This Afternoon.
I'm Not Talking About That Little Nap This Afternoon.
I'm Talking About That Long Nap This Morning... In Church.
Get Out Of Here.
I Saw You.
I Was Standing In The Choir
Singing Wondrous Love.
I Saw You.
It's A Lovely Song.
You Only Heard A Few Words, Then Your Sorry Old Eyes Closed.
Your Head Fell Forward.
You Pulled It Back.
It Fell Forward Again. You Pulled It Back.
It Fell Forward Again.
It Ended Up Inside Your Jacket.
Don't Worry About Me.
I May Be Napping
But Whatever I Hear Stays In These Ears.
And You Heard Everything This Morning?
That Is Correct. Everything.
Then Why Is It That When The Sermon Was Over
And Everybody Else Said, "Amen"
You Jumped Up And Said, "There You Go"?
The Spirit Moved Me.
Good Night, Cliff.
Good Night.
Clair?
Yes?
I Can't Go To Sleep.
Now There You Go.
No, I'm Just Not Sleepy Now.
( Giggling )
Clair?
Yes?
Put Me To Sleep.
I Have Just What You Need.
Come Here.
Now Relax.
Let Your Feet Go.
Are You Ready?
Mm-Hmm.
