Cliff, What Are You Doing?
Ah...
The Door Is Scraping When It Comes Through
So I'm Rehanging It.
Don't You Think You Should Call A Carpenter For That?
Why Is It Every Time I Fix Something In This House
I Hear The Voice Of Doom From Clair?
Who Says, "Don't You Think You Should Call A Carpenter?"
"Don't You Think You Should Call An Electrician?"
"Don't You Think You Should Call The Plumber?"
Don't You Realize
If It Had Not Been For The Effort
My Effort, All These Years
This House Would Have Fallen Apart.
And I Think I Deserve Some Credit.
A Pat On The Back, If You Don't Mind.
Okay.
Denise, Do They Know I'm In The Navy
And At Sea For Weeks At A Time?
No, But Don't Worry, Dad's An Old Navy Man.
He'll Eat That Right Up.
So, Baby, You Nervous?
Yes.
It's Not Everyday A Man Meets The Parents Of His Wife.
That's True, But Don't Worry, They'll Love You.
Course, No One Could Love You As Much As I Do.
All Right.
Well?
Well.
Let's Go.
Martin, Hold It.
There's Something Else
My Parents Don't Know About You.
You Didn't Tell Them I'm Divorced?
Right, Right.
Honey, Don't Worry.
They'll Either Accept It Or They Won't.
That's A Good Attitude.
I Know, Come On, Let's Go.
Um, Baby?
Um...
There's One More Thing They Don't Know About You.
What?
You.
They Don't Know About You.
I Beg Your Pardon.
I Just Sort Of Forgot To Tell Them I Got Married.
You Were Going To Let Me Go In Here
And Meet Two People Who Don't Even Know I Exist.
And Then Say, "By The Way, I Married This Guy."
Yeah, Something Like That.
There You Go.
All It Needed Was A Little Fine Tuning.
Just Close It Up
And Watch It Swing Through.
You Just Have To Wait Until The Humidity Goes Down
Because This Is All Swollen.
It'll Be Fine.
Now Look, If You Have A Problem
Remember, Just Do Like This.
(Door Slamming)
Denise, My Baby!
How Are You Doing?
Fine.
I Missed You So Much.
It's So Good To See You.
How Was Africa?
Do You Bring Pictures?
Girl, You Are Skinny.
Oh, Please.
I've Got To Feed You.
Look At You!
Hey.
Hey!
What Are You Doing Home?
We Didn't Expect You Back For Another Week.
I Know, But...
A Friend Got Me A Flight, So I Took It.
We Would Have Picked You Up From The Airport.
He Dropped Me Off.
Where's Your Luggage?
My Luggage.
I Wanted To Talk To You About That.
The Airline Lost It.
Was It Stolen?
No, Someone's Watching It.
You Didn't Leave It With A Stranger?
Of Course Not.
I Know This Person.
Really Well.
Anyway, Where's Rudy?
Where's Vanessa?
They Went To The Mall.
That's Too Bad.
Where's Theo?
Moved Out.
Praise The Lord.
He Found An Apartment In The Village
With A Couple Of Other Students From N.Y.U.
Now, Pudd, Where's The Luggage?
That Was Expensive Luggage.
Dad, The Luggage Is Fine.
Come And Sit Down.
Your Father And I Need To Talk To You.
Yes, Yes, Yes.
We Want To Talk.
The Whole Time That You Were Gone
We Were Thinking And Thinking About You.
And We Want You
To Please Hear Us Out.
Okay?
First, We Are Really Proud Of You
For Sticking It Out In Africa.
That Must Have Been Quite An Experience
And I'm Sure You've Grown From It.
And You're Probably Thinking About What To Do Next.
Actually, I Want To Talk To You About That.
I Talked To The President Of Hillman.
And She Said You Can Come Back Any Time You Want.
Mom, Dad...
I'd Like To Talk To You
About The Guy Who's Watching My Luggage.
Come On, We're Talking About...
No, Dad.
Yes?
He's Wonderful.
Good, Good.
His Name Is Martin.
Fine.
And, Dad, He Graduated From Annapolis.
And, Uh...
He's A Lieutenant In The Navy.
A Navy Man.
Can't Go Wrong With That.
You'll Have To Bring Him By Sometime.
I'd Love To.
Soon, I Hope.
You Two Sound Serious.
We Are.
We Got Married.
So I'm Talking About
What You Need To Do Is
Even If You Don't Want...
Cliff, Stop!
Stop, Cliff, Stop, Stop!
I'm Talking To Her...
This Child Just Said
She Is Married.
Who Said That?
Yeah, I Got Married.
You Know, Tied The Knot.
(Humming "The Wedding March")
Da-Dun-Da-Da?
Denise, You Got Married Without Telling Us.
Yeah, I'm Married.
Aren't You Happy For Me?
Da-Dun-Da-Da?
Cliff, I Need To Speak To You
In The Kitchen.
Denise Is Married
And I Don't Even Know Her Last Name.
Mrs. Stupid.
When We Let This Child Go To Africa
She Was Supposed To Come Back More Mature
More Responsible.
How Can She Pull This?
No Call, No Letter, Nothing.
Just Shows Up, "Hi, I'm Married."
We're Supposed To Be Happy?
I Have A Nerve To Take That Child By Her Arms
And Shake Her.
Aren't You Going To Say Something?
Come On, Cliff.
Come On.
Hello.
Here We Are.
Mr. And Mrs. Kendall.
Dr. Huxtable.
Mrs. Huxtable, A Pleasure To Meet You Both.
Denise Has Told Me So Much About You.
I'm Sorry We Can't Say The Same About You.
Martin, Please, Sit Down.
Yes, Ma'am.
Isn't He Something?
Isn't He Beautiful, Huh?
I Realize This Is A Bit Awkward
Especially When You've Just Heard Things About Me
You Might Find Troubling.
What Troubling Things?
I'm Sure You Were Concerned When You Heard
I Was Divorced.
You're Divorced?
You Didn't Tell Them?
I Was Getting To That.
Mom, Dad, It's Just One Of Those Things That Happen.
Martin's Ex-Wife Wasn't Mature Or Focused.
She Didn't Know What She Wanted Out Of Life.
She Was All Over The Place.
So He Married You?
That's Right.
I Suppose I Also Have To Tell Them About Olivia.
Is That Another Wife?
That's My Three-Year-Old Daughter.
That's My New Stepdaughter.
Well, Where Is She, In The Luggage?
No, Sir.
She's With My Parents Now.
We Can't Wait For You To Meet Her.
Isn't This Fantastic?
Mom, I'm A Mom.
Kitchen.
Well, Forget College.
Forget Everything.
"Mom, I'm A Mom," She's Not Prepared.
What Is Going On In Her Mind?
How Is She Going To Support A Child?
Where Will They Live?
Not Here.
You Two Are Spending A Lot Of Time In Here.
You're Being Sort Of Rude To Your Guest.
He Is Your Son-In-Law.
Denise, Sit Down.
Your Father And I Didn't See Your Life
Unfolding In This Way.
Look At Him.
You've Turned This Man Into An Invalid.
Yes, You.
When You Returned From Africa
You Were To Go Back To College, Get A Degree
Then Get Married And Have A Family.
Just 'Cause That Worked For You
Doesn't Mean It's Right.
Please, Nobody's Saying Your Way Is Wrong.
Wrong.
No, No, Hush, Now.
It's Wrong.
No, No.
Wrong.
Mom, Dad, I Know The Path I May Have Chosen
Is Gonna Be Difficult.
But I Don't Care, I Know It's Gonna Be Okay.
You Know Why?
I Found Love.
Love.
There's So Much Love Between Martin And Me
And Olivia And Me
I Know Whatever Comes Up
Love Will See Us Through.
That's How Strong Our Love Is.
Please Stop All This Love Talk For One Minute.
Now Where Is
This Child's Mother
And Where Will You Live?
Not Here.
Olivia's Mom Realized She Wasn't Mature Enough
To Raise A Child
So She Gave Custody To Martin.
And We're On A List For Housing
At Martin's Naval Base In Rhode Island.
How Long Is This Waiting List?
They Say We Should Have A Place To Live
In A Year.
Dad, We Don't Want To Live Here.
It Would Help Us If We Could Stay Here A While
Until We Get An Apartment.
That Way You Guys
Can Get To Know Martin Before He Ships Out.
He's Shipping Out?
He's Leaving Next Week For Three Months.
And You Have Not Found An Apartment
For You Or Your Stepchild Whom You'll Be Raising.
Alone.
Mom, It's Gonna Be Okay.
I Know I Can Raise This Child.
Maybe I'll Go Back To College.
I Don't Know.
Maybe I'll Join The Navy With Martin.
Anything Is Possible.
You Know Why?
Because You've Found Love.
That's Right.
Come On In, Olivia.
Honey, This Is The House Where Denise Grew Up.
I Played With My Dolls Here.
Bathroom?
Down The Hall.
Do You Have To Go?
No, I Want To Know Just In Case.
Okay.
Mom, Dad...
The Kendalls Are Home.
I Have Someone I'd Like You To Meet.
Oh, Martin, She's Adorable.
Isn't She, Cliff?
She's Too Short.
You Must Be Olivia.
Uh-Huh.
I'm Three And A Half.
I'll Be Four Next Month.
I Hope I Can Come To The Birthday Party.
You're Invited.
Olivia, This Is Denise's Father.
His Name Is Doctor Huxtable.
And How Are You?
I'm Fine.
Do You Have A Job?
No.
Then I Guess I Can't Get Any Money Out Of You.
I Have Money.
You Do?
How Much?
I Have A Lot.
You Can Have Some If You Want.
I Know This Is Not One Of My Children.
And You Can Stay For Dinner If You Like.
Thank You, But...
I Don't Eat Red Meat.
Do You Eat Ice Cream?
Yes.
Well, I Have Bad News For You.
Because There Is Red Meat In Ice Cream.
No Way, Jose.
Here, I Have Something
You Can Play With Whenever You Want.
Thanks.
This Is My Favorite.
A Teddy Bear.
Not Just Any Teddy Bear.
It's Bobo.
Bobo Teddy Bear.
Whenever You Have A Problem, Tell Bobo.
He Understands.
Okay, I Will.
You're Going To Like It Here.
It's A Fun Place If You Know What To Do.
How Will I Know What To Do?
I'll Tell You.
For Instance, If You Want Something From My Mom
Never Do Any Whining.
What's Whining?
You Know, When You Do This.
"Please, Please, Give Me More Of That, Please."
Okay, What Else You Got?
Now, My Dad.
He Can Be Tough.
Never Wake Him Up When He's Taking A Nap.
And Whenever He's Around, Start Reading A Book.
He Loves That.
I Don't Know How To Read.
Fake It, You'll Score Big.
Okay.
Now, Vanessa Just Turned Sixteen.
She's Getting Weird.
Avoid Her.
Okay.
Any Questions?
What Should I Know About You?
Just Do Whatever I Tell You
And We'll Get Along Fine.
Okay.
We're Back!
Hey, Miss Bugaboo.
Did You Have A Good Time?
Yes, But Hide-And-Seek Makes Me Hungry.
Want A Peanut Butter Sandwich?
Yes, Please.
Okay.
Denise.
Yes?
I'll Have Mine On Toast
With Lettuce, Bananas And Jam.
Kenny, This Is Not Your House.
If You Want A Sandwich, You Make It Yourself.
Yeah, Tell Him, Sis.
I'll Just Have It With Peanut Butter.
You're It.
Hey, Theo, You Here Again?
Yeah, I Came By
To Visit Denise And The Family.
You Came By To Eat Our Food.
Yeah, That, Too.
Give Me These.
I'll Put Them In The Kitchen.
Cliff, You're Such A Good Husband.
Well, Thank You Very Much.
Oooh.
Peanut Butter, I Need Turkey!
(Loud Confusion)
Chill, Chill, Chill!
Thank You, Thank You.
Go Look In The Kitchen, Please.
Now What Do You Think?
I Think We Need A Bigger Refrigerator.
Come On, I'll Buy You Dinner.
Are We Coming Back?
Yes.
After Rudy's Graduated From College.
Vanessa Was In Here.
Oh, Really.
She Complained
There's Too Many People In The House
And Then Demanded To Use Our Bathroom.
Did You Tell Her To Get A Job?
Thank You.
Is Denise In Bed Yet?
Yeah, Think So.
I Hope Everything Is All Right In There.
You're Worried?
Yes, I Am Worried.
The Child Is Across The Hall With A Man And A Baby.
She's A Baby Herself.
Denise Doesn't Know What She's Doing.
Did You See Her At The Table?
Did You See Her Cut That Broccoli For Olivia?
Those Pieces Were Way Too Big.
When She Wasn't Looking, I Cut That Broccoli Myself.
I Hope She Put Enough Covers On Olivia.
It's Chilly Tonight.
Okay, Let's Go.
Thank You.
You're Going To Knock First?
Anybody Give Me Any Rent Money?
