Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

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.

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 Old 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 weird.

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.

I... 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.
