"Sondra, I'm sure that Elvin only said that because he was upset." "What did you say to him?" "Sounds like you were kind of upset, too." "Honey, you had a fight." "So what?" "Baby, don't worry about that." "Married couples have fights, you know." "Sure." "If you want to talk about this some more, we'll always be here." "Yeah." "I love you, too." "Bye-bye." "Sondra and Elvin had a fight, huh?" "Yeah." "Ah, the first fight." "That brings back memories." "You make that sound like those are happy memories." "Well, no, no, I was just thinking about how silly it was." "Now it seems silly, but I remember at the time we were pretty shaken up." "Well, how's Sondra taking it?" "She's pretty shaken up." "She said Elvin went for a walk and he's been gone for over an hour." "Cliff, this is Elvin." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, Dad." "I was just out taking a walk." "Beautiful day for a walk." "Sure is." "Day like this, you can walk your troubles away." "Not that I have any." "So everything's going well?" "Absolutely." "Tremendous." "Life is great." "I sang all the way here." "Sondra called." "Oh, we had such a terrible fight!" "It was a blowout." "Our whole relationship's over." "Gone forever." "Get a hold of yourself, boy." "Elvin, everything will be all right." "It was over such a stupid thing, too." "You see, I've been working every night at the Wilderness Store, and it was my turn to do the dishes." "Well, I mean, that's why I was so tired." "So anyway, I said to Sondra," ""Sondra, dear, could you please do them for me?" "I'm so tired, honey." "Please?"" "And she said, "Well, I've been working a double shift at the restaurant." "I'm just as tired as you are."" "So I said, "Well, muffin, you're probably not just as tired as I am."" "So she said, "Well, yes, I am."" "I said, "Well, no, you're not."" "So anyway, Dad, we were fighting over who was more tired." "One thing led to another and finally she said," ""I should have listened to my parents." "When we were dating, they said that I should find someone else."" "Now that can't be true, can it?" "Can it?" "Oh, Elvin, wait a minute." "Now, stop." "Leave that jacket where it is." "Now you have to remember when you and Sondra first started going out." "You really weren't getting along that well." "So we sort of suggested that maybe she should explore some other possibilities." "Since you and Elvin have broken up, why don't you take this opportunity to call somebody else?" "There is no one else." "Sondra, please." "There is someone else who's intelligent with a good sense of humor." "I can't think of anyone." "Don't you have some friends who could tell you about somebody?" "Well, there is this guy that my friends keep telling me I should meet." "Call him." "But Daddy..." "Call him." "But, Dad, he goes to Oberlin." "That's in Ohio." "We'll fly him in." "Well, he is from New York." "Well, then, he may be home this weekend." "So call him." "Call him." " No, I'll have to think about it." " Call this boy." "And you get his number and you call him and you apologize and tell him you're sorry you waited so long before..." "Cliff, wait a minute." "She doesn't even know the boy." "I don't care, just call the boy." "That's all." "Call him." "Sondra, call the boy." "Please." "Of course, she never called him." "She did?" "She never told me about him." "Well, Elvin, it was only one date." "Cliff invited him to dinner." "Dad!" "The boy looked hungry." "All I'll say, Elvin, is it's a lucky thing that you were on your way over here to pick up Sondra." "Dr. Huxtable, I want to thank you for having me over." "You have a terrific family." "Yeah, Daryl, you're failing." "Failing?" "Yes, with Sondra." "You're not moving fast enough." "Excuse me?" "You're supposed to be in there talking to my daughter." "Now, you like her, don't you?" "Well, from what I've known of her the last five hours, uh... she's wonderful." "Very bright, attractive." "Well, then, tell her that!" "Uh, look, Dr. Huxtable, it is a little awkward." "I mean, this is our first date and the whole family has been around us." "And it's really not my style." "I mean, I'm more of a slow mover." "You don't have time." "Why not?" "Because he's coming." "Who's coming?" "Elvin!" "Who's Elvin?" "Elvin is the fellow that she likes." "Oh." "Then why am I here?" "Because you're the fellow I like." "Dad, how could you do that to me?" "Different time, different Elvin." "That's right." "When you first started coming over here, Elvin," "I, for one, had a bit of a problem with your personal philosophies." "What do you mean?" "Well, remember that time I offered to get you some coffee?" "Would you and Dr. Huxtable like some coffee?" " Coffee?" " Yeah, coffee." "You mean, you're going to get it?" "Yes." "You're surprised?" "I'm sorry, Mrs. Huxtable." "I didn't think you did that kind of thing." "What kind of thing?" "You know, serve." "Serve whom?" "Serve him." "Oh, serve him!" " As in serve your man?" " Well, yeah." "Let me tell you something, Elvin." "You see, I am not serving Dr. Huxtable." " Okay?" " Okay." "That's the kind of thing that goes on in a restaurant." "Now, I'm going to bring him a cup of coffee just like he brought me a cup of coffee this morning." "And that, young man, is what marriage is made of." "It is give and take, 50/50." "And if you don't get it together and drop these macho attitudes, you are never going to have anybody bringing you anything, anywhere, anyplace, anytime ever." "Now, what would you like in your coffee?" "Maybe I could get you some coffee." "Sorry, Elvin, but you deserved it." "Actually, you've been one of the more normal boyfriends we've met." "Some of the others have been a little strange." "My bare feet was burn" "That I almost lost my nerves" "Mm" "I see you're watching the all-music station." " You into reggae, huh?" " Yeah." "I ha to tell it to one another" "I say you bum right here an you bounce over there" "Sponji reggae" "Uh" "An you rock right here an you rock over there" "Sponji reggae" "Mm" "Some say I'm nuts zooky crazy" "Want me to leave the music alone" "I say, eh, mon" "I an I are lazy" "I say you go down" "And I say, eh, mon" "But I think for a while an say to myself" "Eh, mon" "Eh, mon" "Eh, mon." "Eh, mon." " I said, eh, mon" " Eh, mon" "And I go down" "I said you go down" "I said we go down" "Sponji reggae" "Reggae" " I say" " Yeah" "I say" "I say" "You say You say" "Frankly, Dr. Huxtable, I don't believe in grades." "You, too?" "Usually, people who don't believe in grades do so because of the grades they're getting." "I get all As." "But what is an A?" "I mean, what does it really mean?" "Yeah." "See, I've been reading Socrates, and he believed that true learning comes from just observing the world." "Where can I get that book?" "You don't read, son." "Maybe there's a movie about it." "Clair." "Yes?" "Did you tell Denise she could go out on a date tonight?" "Yes, I did." "Well, have you seen the boy?" "Yes, I have." "Well, how ugly is he?" " Hey!" " Hey!" "How you doing?" "How are you?" "Having four daughters keeps you busy when you're a father." "Especially if you're a father like Cliff." "See, he's always seen himself as the protector of his daughters." "Face it, Cliff, you are rough." "No, I am not that rough, honey." "Well, what are you?" "Well, the way I see it is, I'm like Old Yeller." "You know that movie OI Yeller where the dog protected the home?" "It's my job to protect the home." "So I have to bark." "Now, boys come by the house and I bark." "Pretty soon, the boys come by and they say," "Old Yeller lives up there." "All I'm saying is that some good ones come by and some bad ones come by." "But that's who I am." "Old Yeller, that's my job." "Cliff, you know, at the end of that movie, they shot Old Yeller." "Leave me alone!" "Hi, Elvin." "Hi." "Hey, what's up?" "I just came over to visit your parents." "They've been telling me about some of Denise's boyfriends." "Yeah, they were weird." "Well, I was never surprised by the guys Denise brought over." "Weird attracts weird." "Denise just has an interesting way of expressing herself." "That's no reason to call her weir." "You're right, Mom." "Vanessa's the weird one." "Vanessa, come here." "Come here." "Here, here, here." "See there is there, this is here." "Come here." "Dad, Denise pushed us out of the bathroom, so the shampoo is in Rudy's eyes and she won't let me rinse it off like Mom said to and now Rudy might be blinded for life." "If she is, can we get a dog?" "Theo, you shouldn't call anyone in this house weird." "Okay, I'll just say we're all unusual." "Remember the time when I told you and Dad that I wanted to go out into the real world?" "They decided to show me what the real world was like." " Hey, Dad, how are you doing?" " Who?" "Oh, I'm sorry." "I mean Mr. Landlord." "My name is Harley." "Harley Weewax." "We want to welcome you to the Real World Apartments." "Take a look at this." "As you can see, the woodwork here is all hand done." " Hi, Milly." " Hi, Harley." "How's everything?" "Milly?" "Yes." "That's Milly Farquat." "She runs the Chuck Wagon restaurant." "Howdy!" "Good one, Mom." "Who?" "I'm sorry." "I mean Mrs. Farquat." "Look forward to seein' ya real soon." "Whoa!" "Here comes Mrs. Griswold." "Hi, Harley!" " Who was that?" " Mrs. Griswold." "She owns this building, but she drinks heavily." "That's pretty unusual." "Not for this house." "You weren't around when Rudy was mourning the loss of her goldfish." "We're here to say goodbye to a cherished friend." "Lamont Goldfish." "Daddy?" "Yes, dear?" "I want to watch television." "Yeah, but see, we're having a funeral for your friend." "I want to watch T.V. Now." "Me, too." "Nobody is going to watch T.V. Until the funeral is over." "Is that clear?" "Cliff, If she doesn't want the funeral, maybe we shouldn't have it." "We got dressed up for this." "And we're going to have it." "Right, Rudy?" "Daddy?" "Oh, you've come back for the funeral, huh?" "No, I want some privacy." "You want to talk to Lamont by yourself?" "No, I want to use the bathroom." "I don't remember having a funeral." "Rudy, you probably don't even remember having a goldfish." "Well, I bet you don't remember getting your ear pierced." "Ah, yes, I do." "Hey, it does look better." "What's up?" "This." "Ah!" "Theo, an earring!" "Shh!" "I had it done Friday after school." "That's great!" "It looks fantastic!" "And you know what it says?" "That I'm old enough to make my own decisions." "Wait, Theo." "Your ear looks red." "If I want to put an earring in my ear, that's my business." "Theo, it looks unhealthy." "When people see this, they're going to know they dealing with a man." " Son?" " Yeah, Dad?" "There's no music coming through the headset." "You still bopping to what's left of your brain?" "N..." "No." "Take the headset off, please." "Guys sure can get up, can't they?" "Yeah." "You were pathetic." "Oh, you leave him alone, Cliff." "Now, he's not the only male in this house who makes mistakes." "Hi, dear." "Cliff, come here and look at this." "I want you to see what someone did." "Take a look at that." "What?" "Now, do you see that someone has broken the handle off my favorite coffee mug?" "You're kidding." "And do you know what they did after they broke it?" "They tried to glue it together and put it away." "Somebody just took this thing and just glued it, and then put it way back in the cupboard, huh?" "How'd you know it was in the cupboard, Cliff?" "Because I just guessed that it would be way back in the cupboard." "How did you know it was "way back" in the cupboard?" " Am I going to need a lawyer?" " I think so." "You broke my mug." "You see, I tried..." "I see what you tried to do with all this old tired looking glue all clumped up in here together like this." "Pieces missing, all chipped up, glue on the inside of the cup." " But see, I did that on purpose." " Why?" "So that you would think that one of the children did it." "Cliff." "I almost went to the children and accused them." "Right." "And then they would have denied doing it." "But I wouldn't have believed them." "That's right." "Cliff!" "Oh!" "Dad, I'm ashamed of you, trying to pull one over on Mom." "Oh, Theo, I wouldn't talk if I were you." "You've tried to put one over on us a few times." " Me?" " Yes, you." "There's a certain designer shirt that comes to mind." "Dad, when I wear this on my date with Christine, ooh, she is gonna die." "Putman's does it again." "How much is it?" "See the label?" "Gordon Gartrell." "This is the shirt." "Gordon Gartrell is a big designer." "How much?" "Dad, if you want quality, you're gonna have to pay for it." "Ninety-five dollars." "Oh, well, there must be a pair of pants in there too." "Theo, I don't have a $95-shirt, and I have a job." "Don't you want something better for your son?" "Sure, you want to trade your room for that shirt?" "No." "All right, then." "The shirt goes back." "But, Dad, I told Christine I was getting a Gordon Gartrell." "Tell Christine you lied." "Dad." "No 14-year-old boy should have a $95-shirt unless he is on stage with his four brothers." "Then Denise promised Theo she could make him a shirt just like that one for $30." "Did she?" "Well, she came close." "Come talk to me." "Me?" "I'm a little nervous about the shirt." " I need company." " Okay." "So what do we talk about?" "Anything." "Uh..." "Janet Meiser got a new bike today." "It's really great." "That's nice." "Denise!" "It's over, isn't it?" "What is this?" "What do you mean?" "Is this my shirt?" "Is this the shirt I paid $30 for?" "Is this the shirt they're supposed to think is a Gordon Gartrell?" "You don't like it?" "Ask me the question again." "You don't like it?" "Look at these sleeves." "My arms are the same length." "Why aren't my sleeves?" "This collar's all crazy and it's ten sizes too big." "Maybe if you tucked it in a little more." "It's tucked into my socks!" "Well, this has been very helpful hearing about your family." "I feel like I understand Sondra better." "But why didn't you tell me all this before we got married?" "Well, because we were afraid you might not show up for the wedding." "Hi, everybody." "Hi, Vanessa." "Hi." " Hi, Elvin." " Hi." "I didn't know you were coming over today." "Well, it was so beautiful out, I thought I'd take a little walk." "You walked here?" "Elvin, you live seven miles away." "Yeah, so what's wrong with that?" "A married man can take a long walk if he likes." "Uh, Sondra just didn't want to come with me." "But Sondra likes to walk." "Okay, we had a fight." "You got it out of me." "Elvin, when people are married, they're going to have fights." "You mean, you and Dad have them?" "Oh, yes, we do." "And over the silliest things." "Like the time my friend's wife passed away and he started to date a younger woman." "Cliff, I just want you to know that if I die, you have my permission to marry again." "L..." "I have your permission?" "Yes." "But you're dead." "I want you to find a woman who can make you happy and help you take care of the kids." "Thank you." "Would you?" "Would I what?" "If I died, would you marry again?" "We'll talk about it when it happens." "We can't talk about it then." "Okay." "No." "The answer is, no, I wouldn't." "Under no circumstances if I die would you marry again?" "You would be single forever?" "Yes." "Would you date somebody?" "No, I wouldn't." "Okay, 'cause I'm dead, I'm gone." "And you're still in the bed with me?" "What if you met a gorgeous international-type beauty?" "Not interested." "What if you met a woman who could sing jazz?" "Like Lena Horne?" "And can scat." " Like Ella Fitzgerald?" " You said it." "Not my type." "Well, what is your type?" "You." "Okay, say you met me." "You're dead." "But there's somebody out there just like me." "You're dead?" "Gone." "Okay, now, you're not coming back, are you?" " Come on, Cliff, be serious." " No, I'm serious." " You're not coming back, right?" " I'm not coming back." " So you're dead." " I'm dead." "And then I bump into this woman and she looks exactly like you?" " Exactly like me." " And you're dead?" "Yes." "Oh, boy." "Okay, so then what I would do is I would, um..." "I would call her up and I would ask her if she would go out on a date with me." "And then, I would court her and I would send her flowers, and I would call her and..." "and I would introduce her to the children." "And then I would marry her and bring her in here." "Would you keep my picture up?" "Well, dear, I don't have to keep your picture up because she looks exactly like you." "Goodnight, Cliff." "You need some sleep." "Oh..." "Ow!" "What... is it?" "What is the matter with you?" "You're not going to keep my picture up, huh?" "Yes, I'll keep your picture up, dear." "Where are you going to keep it?" "Uh..." "Out in the hallway." "Ow!" "Where?" "I'll put it in the closet." "Ow, stop it." "Where?" "Ow!" "I'll put it over the bed." "A blow-up over the bed, Cliff." "I want a blow-up over the bed." " With lights?" " Yes." " Yes." " Yes." "What are you going to do with my clothes?" "I'll wear them." "I'll wear them." "Just be sure you don't let her wear them." "Oh, no, No." "What will the children call her, Cliff?" "Lola." "Ah!" "That's what I love about our discussions;" "they're at such a high intellectual level." "But the part I like the most is making up afterwards." "It's amazing that you can still be so romantic after 23 years of marriage." "Oh, well, it isn't the 23 years that makes it amazing." "It's the five children." "If you're gonna have five children, you'd better have a whole lot of stamina." "Let go of my hair, Vanessa!" "Let go!" "What's going on in there?" "Fight!" "Fight!" "Stop, stop, stop." "Eh!" "Let go of me!" "Stop!" "No, come on." "Come on, come on, stop, stop." "Look, the two of you..." "Daddy, I'm getting hot." "I know you're getting hot, dear." "Dad's taking off the clothes as fast as he can." "Okay, here we go." " Daddy!" " Cliff." "I didn't know they were hooked to her, dear." "All right, got the bucking horse." "Now, we have the championship." "We're going for the last time around." "Here comes our challenger." "And Rudy Huxtable did not do well at all the first two times up, but I know this time that she's going to do well." "All right, you know the rules." "Arms sideways." "All right." "We're riding." "And the horse looks like..." "Arms to the side." "Now you've just fallen off." "And there she goes." "She's doing it." "And the..." "Whoa, whoa, wait, whoa!" "Stay on." "Oh, there it is." "Twelve seconds." "She's gonna ride good." "And the bucking..." "Oh, look at Maria go." "And then... then goes into the whirling spin." "And she's going to..." "She's got the prize, ladies and gentlemen." "There you go!" "So far, she's the best." "There we go." "Superman!" "You go man the door." "Go..." "Go ahead." "All right, hit it!" "Ah!" "What are we gonna do?" "We need that record to study for the test." "Dad, they won't throw them at you." "Please, Dr. Huxtable." "Step out of the way." "This is Dr. Huxtable!" "I delivered some of you!" "I'm a parent and a taxpayer!" "And I'm probably the only adult who will sue little children!" " All right." "Thanks, Dad." " Here you go." "Now, Dad, we were laughing with you, not at you." "Yeah, liar." "Elvin, if you're going to become a parent, it takes more than just physical stamina." "It helps if you have mental stamina." "Vanessa said I have germs." "What kind do I have?" "Oh, yeah." "Well, see, you have, uh..." "You have the, um, triptoperma... permasaps." "Triptopermasaps?" "See, the trips, as they like to call themselves, they hang around water fountains and glasses and things like that." "And they just keep saying," ""Hey, where's the party?" ""I love to party." ""I just love to just get inside of a young body and just..." "Party."" "Why me?" "Well, they chose you because you're young and you're cute." "And they go inside your body and they say," ""Hmm, this is a lovely place to party."" "And they start moving around all fast, you know?" ""This is a hot party."" "And they... they bump into the corpuscles, and they do the boogie down with..." ""Party, party, party." "Party, party, party."" "Mommy does the airplane." "Uh, well, what do you want?" "Do you want a single engine or a jet?" "Single engine." "Okay." "Coming up." "Open up, open up." "Ahhuum." "There you go." "Oh, boy, huh?" "Oh, looks good." "Thank you, Daddy." "You're welcome, dear." "No more party in there." "How do you expect to get into college with grades like this?" "No problem." "Huh?" "See, I'm not going to college." "Damn right." "I am gonna get through high school." "And then, get a job like regular people." "Regular people?" "Yeah, you know, who work in the gas station, drive a bus, something like that." "So what you're saying is your mother and I shouldn't care if you get Ds because you don't need good grades to be regular people?" "Right." "Okay." "Oh..." "Suppose you graduate from high school." "Let's say you just slide by." "All right, now you got to find a job." "Now what kind of salary do you expect for a regular person?" "Mm, $250 a week." " $250 a week?" " Yeah." "Sit down." "I'm..." "I'm going to give you $300 a week." "Yes, indeed." "$300 a week, $1,200 a month." "All right?" " Great, I'll take it!" " Yes, you will." "And I will take $350 for taxes." "Whoa!" "Huh?" "Yeah." "Now..." "Now, uh..." "Because, see, the government comes for the regular people first." "Now..." "Now, how much..." "how much does that leave you with?" "$850." "All right." "Now, you've got to have an apartment because you are not going to live here." "So, an apartment in Manhattan will run you at least $400 a month." "I'll live in New Jersey." "All right." "To live in New Jersey you've got to have a car." "I'll ride a motorbike." "You'll need a helmet." "Figure a hundred a month for clothes and shoes." "Figure 200." "I want to look good." "Okay, so what does that leave you with?" "$200." "So, no problem." "There is a problem." "You haven't eaten yet." "I can get by on bologna and cereal." "So, I got everything I need, plus $200 left for the month." "You plan to have a girlfriend?" "For sure." "You're a doctor and Mom's a lawyer." "And you're both successful and everything, and that's great, but maybe I was born to be a regular person, and have a regular life." "If you weren't a doctor, I wouldn't love you less because you're my dad." "And so... instead of acting disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you can just accept who I am and love me anyway because I'm your son." "Theo... that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life!" "It's no wonder you get Ds in everything!" "Now, you are afraid to try because you're afraid that your brain is going to explode and it's going to ooze out of your ears." "Now I'm telling you, you are going to try as hard as you can." "And you're going to do it because I said so." "I am your father." "I brought you in this world, and I'll take you out." "You know, I've really enjoyed this." "Someday, if Sondra and I do have a family, I hope we can sit around and talk as openly and freely as you do." "Elvin, we've always encouraged our children to tell us anything and everything." "What?" "Mom, I remember a discussion we had when you didn't seem so happy to hear what we had to say." "Now this is serious, now." "Your father and I want to know that you feel you can really come to us." "Yeah." "About anything?" "Yeah." "Okay." "Okay." "Let me give you an example." "All right?" "Let's say that one of you became pregnant." "Dad, come on." "Oh, no, no, I'm serious." "I'm serious." "Hey, I know it's not me." "Okay, let's say it's you." "Me?" "Let's say that you are pregnant." "Okay?" "Now what are you going to do?" "Well, first, I want to find out who did it." "Okay, okay." "Okay... you didn't find out." "You didn't find out." "Now, what would you do?" "Could you guys help me on this one?" "Don't look at me." "Don't even think of looking at me." "No, no, no." "Come on, come on." "Help your brother, now." "Well, I guess I'd be scared, wouldn't I?" "Definitely." "Very definitely." "Well, Dad, if I was scared, I would probably go to a friend first." "If you become pregnant, you would go to Cockroach?" "Dad, you said be honest." "I know I said be honest." "I'm just amazed at the fact that you would go to Cockroach and not come to us." "Well, Dad, I would be afraid you would get mad." "Mad?" "I mean, I'm not going to get mad." "Yeah..." "Oh, come on." "Right." "No, I wouldn't get mad." "Dad, you can say that now because it hasn't happened." "Yeah, but I'm telling you that I wouldn't get mad." "Now, when I say I wouldn't get mad, I mean I wouldn't get mad." "You understand?" "Now look, there is nothing more important to us than your health and well-being." "Who said I'm mad?" "Tell me I'd get mad." "And if you've got a problem, we want to know about it so we can help you." "I mean, I know when I'm mad about something." "Okay, Dad." "Okay what?" "In the first place, let's get things straightened out." "Dogs get mad." "Human beings get angry." "Okay, Dad." "Okay." "So if you promise that you're not going to get angry, maybe we should give you some examples." "Go ahead." "Okay, say Vanessa comes to you and she tells you that she's been secretly seeing a boy who's 17." "Ooh!" "Sondra!" "Oh, way to go Vanessa." "Wouldn't like that?" "Seventeen?" "Well, first of all, first of all," "I think that I would not get angry because she came to us." "No, we wouldn't get angry, but we would get serious, very serious." "And we would sit Miss Vanessa down and have a long talk." "But I didn't do anything." "I'm not seeing anybody secretly." "Well, there's Robert, but he's only 12." "Please, use an example without me in it." " Okay?" " Okay." "All right, Mom, I got one for you." "Okay." "Now, remember when I spent the night at Jeanette's house a couple of weeks ago?" "Yes, I do." "Okay, well, um..." "I didn't really spend the night at Jeanette's." "I spent it at Tommy Watkins'." "You what?" "Why didn't Mr. And Mrs. Watkins call us and tell us about it?" "They're on vacation." "They were?" "You..." "You spent the night at Tommy Watkins' house and his parents were not there?" "Yeah." "But we didn't do anything." "Are you angry?" "Ask..." "Ask your mother." "Mom, are you angry?" "Oh, no, I'm not angry." "I'm mad." "I was just kidding!" "Yeah!" "That was a good one." "I made it up." "I did." "It was a joke." "Denise, I want to talk to you." "I was kidding!" "I was kidding." "I spent the night at Jeanette's." "You could call her mom and ask her." "It's a joke." "I think that what we have to understand is that, uh... we're... we're going to get angry." "But what we're hoping for is that you all would still come to us if you have any problems, as opposed to going to other people." "We love you." "And I don't think that anybody can care for you with the love that we have." "No one cares more than your mother and me." "Okay?" "Okay." "Well, I am certainly glad we had this little talk." "Yeah." "Us, too." "And now I'm going upstairs." "I'm going to call Jeanette's mother." "I was kidding!" "Must make you sad that only three of your children are still living at home." "Elvin, your children grow up and they go away to college, and, yes, you do miss them a lot." "That's why I'm going to keep on living right here." "No, son, we want to experience the joy of missing you." "Elvin." "Hi, Sondra." "What are you doing here with my family?" "We had a fight; you're supposed to be with your parents." "Well, I went over there, but nobody was home." "Are you still angry with me?" "No." "I feel pretty good about things now." "You do?" "Sure." "Every married couple has to have a first argument, and I think ours was a pretty mild one." "You mean the fight's over?" "Of course." "Elvin, when the Huxtables get married, they stay married for a long time." "That's right." "It runs in the family." "We figure after 49 years of marriage, perhaps the two of you need a little romantic inspiration." "Okay, now here we go."
