There She Is.
I Am Privileged
To Be In The Same Kitchen With My Friend--
Miss Brains Of Brooklyn.
Charmaine, Please.
We Needed The Fire Department To Put You Out.
Charmaine!
When Called On, My Girlfriend Sat Up
And In A Clear And I-Know-What- I'm-Talking-About-Voice Said
That The First American In Space
Was Mr. Alan B. Shepard, Jr. On May 5, 1961.
And The Beauty Of It Was
This Came After An Unprepared
But Impeccably Attired Shaniqua Watkins
Who Said That The First American In Space
(Together:) Was Mr. George Jetson.
The Way You've Been In School Lately
Your Mama Would Be Proud Of You.
It Ain't Helping My Social Life.
You Mean Slide?
You Picked Up Some Good Habits And Dropped A Bad One.
That's Right.
Shoot, Him Bringing Me Down
Wanting Me To Cut Class And Hang Out After School
And Asking Me To Do His Homework.
You Did The Right Thing.
Lance Tried That And I Said
"Bring Something To The Table Besides Good Looks
Or Find Another Table."
I Suppose You're Right.
I Know I'm Right.
It's Your Table, So Tell Somebody Else
To Pull Up A Chair.
Circulate.
Go Out And Meet Somebody.
Like Who?
Isn't There Anybody Who Makes Your Boat Float?
Somebody Who Makes
Your Liver Quiver?
I Suppose I Could Be Interested
In That New Boy In School, Aaron Dexter.
Stop The Madness.
Aaron Dexter?
Mm-Hmm.
Don't Let Your Answers Go To Your Head.
That Boy's Intellectual.
You Can Tell By All The Keys On His Belt.
Keys?
Smart Boys Always Carry A Lot Of Keys.
Forget About This One.
I Thought I Was The Brains Of Brooklyn.
You Are, But His Mind Is Global.
Yours Is Just Local.
I Said I Was Interested.
I Didn't Say I Would Start Chasing After Him.
Why Not?
If My Girlfriend Wants To Aim At A High Target
Why Shouldn't I Help Her Hit It?
Come On, Girl, Let's Go Snag You A Smartie.
Honey, Aren't You Curious About What We're Going To Have?
You Know It Doesn't Matter To Me.
We Have A Little Girl.
Wouldn't It Be Nice If Laurie Had A Brother?
Bernice, As Long As The Baby Is Healthy
I'm A Happy Dad.
Alfred, Bernice
How Are You Doing?
I Guess We're A Little Nervous.
Listen, She Is Going To Be Fine.
The Results Of The Amnio...
The Baby Is Just Fine.
Okay?
Do You Want To Know What You're Having?
Yes.
No.
Cliff, Whatever We Have
We Will Love As Much As We Love Laurie.
Well, I Want To Know.
All Right, Dear, If It's Important To You.
What Are We Having?
It's A Boy.
A Boy.
Yes!
There He Is, Pam.
I See Him.
Don't Stand There Growing Roots.
Go Talk To The Boy.
No, I'll Wait Till He Sees Me
And Then I Make My Move.
He's Reading.
He Can't See You.
Oh, He's Looking At You.
Will You Look At Him?
Make Eye Contact.
You Waited Too Long.
Now He's Not Looking.
You Slow, You Blow.
I Know What I'm Doing.
You May Know, But You're Taking All Day.
Hi, Aaron.
I'm Charmaine.
Would You Look At My Friend, Please?
Huh?
Well, Just Look In Her General Direction.
That Girl Gets On My Last Nerve.
Would You Come With Me, Please?
Aaron, This Is Pam.
Pam, This Is Aaron.
Oh, I Just Remembered, I Have To Go Buy A Leg Of Lamb
For My Mama.
Have A Nice Chit-Chat.
Ciao.
Hi.
Is This Seat Taken?
If You Sit Down.
Well, Nice Meeting You.
Wait.
Have You Ever Read Henry The Fifth?
Yeah, I Read It A Long Time Ago.
I'm Reading It Now.
What A Coincidence.
How Far Are You?
Oh, I'm...
Here.
You've Passed The Battle
Where Henry Tries To Woo Katherine.
Yes, I Passed That.
Isn't It Funny?
He Doesn't Speak French, She Doesn't Speak English.
Do You Speak French?
I Do A Little.
I Studied It; Anybody Can.
It's Not Like I'm The Smartest Guy In Class.
You're Not?
There Are At Least Four Other People
Smarter Than Me.
Well, Maybe Three.
Am I Talking Too Much?
I Better Shut Up.
I'll Ferme La Bouche.
I'll Shut Up
In Two Languages.
That's All Right.
I Like To Hear You Talk.
You Do?
No, Really?
Mm-Hmm.
I'll Leave You To Your Shakespeare.
You Have To Concentrate With Shakespeare.
I'm A Shakespeare Buff.
Enjoy It.
Well, Actually, It's Kind Of Hard To Understand.
Want Me To Help You?
Would You?
Well, As Long As I'm Here.
Okay.
"When I Come To Woo The Ladies, I Fright Them, But In Faith Kate
The Elder I Wax, The Better I Shall Appear."
That Means She's Seeing Him At His Worst
But The Longer She Knows Him, The Better He Gets.
Unh!
Right.
(Intercom Buzzing)
Yes?
Alfred Phelps To See You, Dr. Huxtable.
Okay, Send Him In.
I Can't Do It, Cliff.
I Can't Have A Son.
You Don't Have To.
Your Wife Will Do That.
No, No, What I Mean Is, Yesterday I Was Having A Boy.
Today I'm Having A Son.
I Don't Understand The Difference.
A Son Is A Son.
Right.
It Means We Have To Do Sports Together...
Like Baseball.
Have You Ever Seen Me Swing A Baseball Bat?
Cliff, In My Entire Little League Career
I Got Two Hits--
One In The Neck, And One In The Back.
But, Alfred, You Have A Great Mind For Sports.
Sure, I've Got A Great Mind For Sports
But Not The Body.
How Am I Going To Relate
To My Son?
You're Always Talking About
How You And Theo Like To Run And Jump And Play Together.
Go To Any Park And What Do You See?
Boys With Their Fathers
Throwing The Old Ball Around, Shagging Flies.
You Don't See Them Reading The Financial Times
Or Doing The Multiplication Tables.
I Just Have No Coordination.
I'm Sorry.
It's All Right.
You Got To Do Something.
Yeah.
Now You Dribble.
I'm Going To Dribble?
Just Dribble.
That's Fine.
What Are You Saying?
Listen To Me.
That's Fine.
It's Fantastic.
We're Talking About You Dribbled Around Me.
You're Going To Work With Your Son.
Your Son Will Be
Maybe Three, Four Years Old, Al.
He's Not Dribbling.
Sit Down.
The Two Of You Are Going To Be Doing Like This.
This Is All You'll Do.
That's It.
I Can Do This.
This Kid Is Going To Think You're Great.
(Talking Baby Talk)
...And Then You're Going To Get Up
And You're Going To Be A Hero.
The Next Thing Is...
Go Ahead, Take A Shot.
Take A Shot.
All Right, I'll Take A Shot.
Yes!
Yeah!
Kick It!
Yes!
Kick It!
Oh, Football?
I Didn't Know You Liked Football.
I Love Football.
When I Grow Up, I Want To Be A Football Player.
Not A Doctor?
I Want To Be A Doctor And A Football Player.
Is There A Problem?
No. It's Just That...
When Are You Going To Find Time To See Your Patients?
During The Week.
They Only Play Football
On The Weekends.
I Thought You Knew Football.
Yeah, Well, I Do.
Okay, Do It!
I'll Have A Nickname.
What Is It?
Dr. Crusher.
Middle Linebacker.
Why Middle Linebacker?
To Be In The Middle Of Everything.
I See.
So Don't Call Me Peewee Or Pudd Anymore.
From Now On, Dr. Crusher!
Middle Linebacker!
Dr. Crusher, Middle Linebacker!
Yeah, I Understand.
Third And Five.
Middle Linebacker.
I Wasn't Expected To Be A Good Athlete
So I Made The Basketball Team.
But I Got A "B" In Chemistry
So My Father Made Me Quit.
If I Got A "B" In Chemistry
I'd Ask For A Car.
Well, That's My Dad.
He's Proud Of Me
But He's Very Tense About My Future.
He Wants Me To Get Into A Good School--
Morehouse.
Well, I Guess I Better Get Going.
Um, You Have A Lot Of Keys.
You Know, My Friend Says
That Boys Who Have A Lot Of Keys Are Really Smart.
I'm Not Smart
But I Have A Lot Of Keys.
That's Because I Need These Keys To Organize My Life.
This Key Is For My Locker At School.
These Keys Are For My Grandmother's House.
I Check On Her After School.
Oh, That's Sweet.
This Key Is For My Closet--
I Have A Nosey Little Brother.
I Can't Remember What These Keys Are For
But I'm Afraid To Get Rid Of Them
In Case I Do Remember
And I Can't Get In To Wherever It Is.
And These Are For My Job.
You Work Too?
Mm-Hmm.
Where?
The Bike Shop.
I Fix Bikes.
I Ride Them Too.
I'm Riding In The Bike-A-Thon.
You Must Be Good.
Yeah.
You Should See Me.
I'm Smooth, I'm Sleek...
I'm A Comet.
Would You Like
To Go Biking With Me?
Um, I'm Not Really Good.
I'll Show You.
Next Sunday?
Yeah. Okay.
Great. Great.
This Is A Date, Right?
Or It Could Be A Date.
Sort Of Like A Date...
Aaron, Aaron, It's A Date.
Whoops!
Just My Sympathetic Nervous System Again
Which Is Stimulating My Adrenal Gland.
I Just Happened To Know That.
I Know, You Read It Somewhere.
Well...
Good Night, Pam.
Good Night.
Yes!
Lofting An Egg To Somebody On A Ladder.
Lofting An Egg...
You're Too Far On The Loft.
Hey.
Hey, Ber.
What Are You Guys Doing?
Trying To Loft An Egg Up To Some...
Yes.
All Right, Bernice.
Where Did You Learn That?
I Was Point Guard For My High School Team.
Well, You Still Have It.
Thanks.
What Do You Think You're Doing?
I Was Just Playing A Little Basketball.
No, No, No.
I'm The One Playing Basketball
Not You.
You're Pregnant.
You Should Be Somewhere With Your Feet Up.
Besides...
I Should Teach Our Son This Game
Not His Mother.
Why? My Mother Taught Me.
You Had A Very Unusual Childhood, Bernice.
I've Always Said That.
I Saw You With That Ball.
You're Pretty Slick.
Come On, Clair
How About A Little Two-On-Two With Me And My Pal?
Don't Be Ridiculous.
Your Ball Out.
Let's Do It.
Don't Worry, Pal.
I'm Right Behind You.
But You Got To Guard Bernice.
No, No.
The Husband Will Guard The Wife.
Are You Serious?
Come On.
Get Out Of Here.
Come On!
I Can Take The Ball...
Wait A Minute.
Yes!
All Right!
(Yelling)
Ta-Ta.
Okay, We've Got To Work On Your Defense.
Yes!
All Right.
Looking Pretty Good.
Now How Many Is That?
If You Count All The Shots I Made Today
Right Now I'm Approximately 1 For 30.
Let's Say The First 29 Were Warm-Ups
And This Was The One That Counts.
Your Father Says If I Improve
Someday I May Impress A Five-Year-Old Boy.
Mr. Phelps, Your Son's Not Going To Be Impressed With That.
When I Was Five, I Was Impressed
That My Dad Could Drive A Car.
Theo, You Mean I Shouldn't Be Doing This?
No, That's Cool
But I Was Never Impressed
With How Good A Ball Player My Dad Was.
You Weren't?
I Do Remember The First Time I Played Football
And I Fell, Scraped My Knee And Started Crying.
Dad Took Me In The House
Cleaned Up My Knee
Dried My Tears, Gave Me A Hug
And Said "Everything's Going To Be Okay."
Those Things I Remember.
I'll Tell You One Thing:
As I Got Older
And Realized I Could Beat Him At Certain Sports
I Started To Let Him Win.
Theo, Your Mother Says To Bring In The Groceries
Before The Ice Cream Melts.
Okay, Thanks.
See You Later, Mr. Phelps.
Oh, Theo...
Thanks.
You Got It.
Can I Play With You?
Well, Sure.
This Really Isn't My Game.
My Game Is Football.
You Want To Shoot?
No. You Can Go First.
Thanks.
Whoa!
That Was Great!
You Hit The Backboard.
That's Right.
And Someday You'll Be Good Enough
To Hit The Backboard Too.
Come On.
It's Your Turn.
Listen, Alfred Went Out Of Here
Acting Like He's So Happy He's Going To Have A Son
And He Knows What To Do.
I Mean, What Were You Talking About?
You Know, Life, Philosophy, Psychology Of Parenting.
Oh, Really, Mr. Psychologist.
Pardon Me, Dr. Psychologist.
So You Set Him Straight, Huh?
He Walked Out Of Here Happy, Didn't He?
Hey, Dad, When I Was Little--
When We Used To Run Track--
You Used To Let Me Win, Didn't You?
Sure, I Wanted You To Build Your Confidence.
Well, I Appreciate That
But You Know, As I Got Older
I Started Doing The Same Thing For You.
You Better Go Some Place And Find The Truth.
No, I'm Serious.
I Could Beat You...
I Could Beat You Long Before I Let You Know I Could
But I Didn't Want You To Get Too Concerned
About Getting Too Old.
Getting Too Old?
We Could Go Out On The Track, Run The 400
And I Guarantee You
You'll See My Back
And At The 300 Mark
I'll Be Getting Smaller And Smaller.
All Right.
We Can Go Now.
You Want To?
Yeah.
We Can't
Because Your Mother's Got A Cake
And We Have To Eat That.
So We Can't Go Right Now.
Saved By Mom.
We Can Go After Dinner.
Not With A Cake Sitting Up Here.
How About If We Go Tomorrow?
Tomorrow I Can't.
I've Got Patients Tomorrow.
Patients...
What About Saturday?
I'm Going To The Museum.
Oh, Then You Don't Want To Run.
