When Martin's parents visit, Denise frets about Mrs. Kendall's impression of her.
♪♪ [theme]
This is the best elevator
music I've ever heard.
Hi. Is the cake done yet?
I'm putting the finishing
touches on with this icing.
Your grandparents are coming all
the way from Milwaukee just to see you,
and you're sure
they like chocolate?
They love chocolate.
Hmm. [buzzer]
That's the dryer, honey.
I've got to go downstairs
and get the towels.
Do me a favor. Watch this
while I'm gone, and don't eat any.
I won't. I don't
even like chocolate.
- You sure?
- Yes.
Okay. I'll be right back.
Okay.
[Cliff singing]
Tried to eat the whole thing?
No.
I'm looking at somebody who
looks to me to be a cake thief.
The wind blew it off.
It does come through
here hard, doesn't it?
Well, I'm sorry, but I
think what I'm looking at
is somebody who
tried to steal a cake.
I can count to ten in Spanish.
Uno, dos, tres, quatro, cinco...
No, no, no, that little cute
stuff doesn't work on me.
And if Mrs. Huxtable
comes up here and sees that,
she's going to put you away,
far away, for defacing dessert.
I'm sorry. I just
wanted a little taste.
Really?
Keep an eye out of
where she came from.
How are we doing? Good.
Keep an eye out, now.
What about the hole?
The hole?
Heh heh. No problem.
Yummy!
Ah, boy.
There you go.
Now, just go ahead.
Olivia!
He did it.
Well, of course he did it.
Where did this cake come from?
What have you done?
Oh.
When the time comes,
this is what the two of you
will be having for dessert.
Mr. and Mrs. Kendall,
it's nice to see you again.
Oh...
Uh, Mom, Dad, how was
your trip from Milwaukee?
Hey, Mom. Hey, Dad.
- Mom, Dad.
- Hi, sweetheart.
Hi.
Thought I'd put on something
special for your mom and dad.
So that's what you're
wearing when they come over.
Yeah, don't you like it?
Well, yeah, I think it's great.
But when you see the
gift that I have for you,
I think that you're going to
want to make a quick change.
Ooh, you got me a present.
Hey, baby, if I could afford to,
this entire room would be filled
with lavish presents every day.
So what do you think?
It's, uh... It's so well made.
I knew you'd love it.
Yeah, I don't think that
I'm going to wear it tonight.
I'm going to just put it
away for something special
like a nice dinner
at the Navy base.
Oh, no. You can
wear it then, too.
But, uh, it would
really make me happy
if you would wear it today.
I'm in the mood to
wear what I have on.
Well, you can wear
what you have on,
but just, uh... just
put this over it.
I know what's going on here.
You want me to wear this because
you want me to cover up what I'm wearing
because your parents
think I dress weird, right?
Your parents
think that I'm weird.
Why would they think that?
They only met you one time,
and that was for 20 minutes.
That was time enough for your
mom to figure out she didn't like me.
Where did you get the idea
that my mother doesn't like you?
Excuse me?
From you, and I'm quoting
you: "My mother can't stand you."
Okay.
Maybe that's what she said,
but, Denise, I think that you
and my mother can get along.
She's really a
very sweet person.
I'm sure she is.
She's the principal of an
elementary school, you know.
Three times they've given her
the Most Concerned Parent Award.
There's a plaque with her
picture on it in the school hallway.
So when you meet
her, please, please,
no matter what
feelings you have for her,
just... just think
of that plaque.
All right. I'll put it on.
If we start getting along,
I'm taking this sweater off.
Fine, fine.
Now see? See, look.
Isn't that a beautiful sweater?
See, honey? That...
That look is you.
I'm feeling much less
nervous now. Thank you.
Denise.
What?
Are these the earrings
that you're going to wear?
You don't like them?
No, no, I do, I do,
but it's my mother.
Well, don't worry because
your mom won't see them, okay?
Oh, you're right darling.
These are much better.
- Denise.
- Ta-ta.
Denise! Denise, come back here.
[doorbell rings]
Grampy! Nanou!
Hello, sweetheart.
Peaches.
Yay!
- Hello.
- Hello.
I'm Loraine.
- I'm Clair. This is Cliff.
- How are you?
Olivia, help me take my coat off.
And don't let it touch the ground.
Loraine, may I take your coat?
Thank you.
Listen, you guys got here
sooner than we expected.
Well, this man wouldn't
even stop at a hotel.
Left the bags in the car.
He-he-hey!
What's happening, Captain?
Hello, son.
Hey, Mom.
There's my boy.
Good to see you.
It's good to see you.
Good to see you! Have
a seat. Have a seat.
Denise.
Hi, Mom.
Hi, Dad.
Hi, hon.
Denise?
Hi.
It's so good to see you.
It's good to see both of you.
Denise, how do you
like being a mom?
Oh, um...
I think it's going really well.
- Don't you?
- I'm still alive.
She loves to make that joke.
I have cheese and
crackers in the next room.
Thank you.
Come with you. Help you.
Don't be silly.
Your in-laws have come all the
way from Milwaukee to see you.
- Sit down. I'll get it.
- Okay, I'll help you.
Denise, it's just cheese
and crackers, honey.
Okay.
- Olivia?
- Yes.
You did a lovely
job with my coat.
Thank you, Grampy.
Yeah, and here's a
dollar for all the hard work.
Joe, put that back.
Ah, no, no. Give it to me. I
paid for the cheese and stuff.
Is there something going on
between you and Martin's mother?
Nothing. She's here
from Milwaukee. It's great.
Denise, this is me
you're talking to.
I don't know, Mom.
I can only say that there's friction
between Martin's mother and me.
Well, that's not such
an uncommon thing.
Mothers are very
protective of their sons.
Look, I went through a similar
thing with your grandmother.
This is different, okay?
Martin's mother can't stand me.
You may think that, but
I'm sure that it just isn't true.
I happen to know it's true.
Did the woman look you in the eye
and say, "Denise, I can't stand you"?
No.
She said it to Martin.
She did?
Martin's told me twice that
his mother can't stand me.
She thinks that I'm a
flake. Can you believe that?
After she only knew
me for 20 minutes.
Mom, I didn't do
anything to her.
I'm sitting there trying to
make this marriage work.
Then why would she berate
you like that behind your back?
I don't know. I didn't tell
you what she said to my face.
When I met her, she said,
"I hope you don't approach your
marriage like you did your college career."
Martin made me
put on this sweater.
Oh, really?
Hungry, are you?
I don't blame your husband.
I wouldn't feed you, either.
Where's the cheese and crackers?
The hors d'oeuvres are
going to have to wait a little bit.
Mom wants to talk to
Martin's mom alone.
Give me my dollar back, please.
Olivia, come on. We are
going to go to the store.
We got to get some stuff.
What kind of stuff?
I don't need
anything at the store.
Yes, you do.
Are we going for some candy?
No.
What are we going for?
What do we need
at the store anyway?
People seem to be
clearing out of here fast.
Yeah, I wonder why your
wife and my wife are in there
talking to each other alone.
I think I know what it is.
My son told me that my wife made
some remarks about your daughter,
which my son
foolishly told Denise.
What kind of remarks?
Well, my son said
that my wife said
that she can't
stand your daughter.
Now, I'm guessing that
your daughter told your wife
what my son said my wife said.
So my wife just found out what
your son said that your wife said.
- You said it.
- Word.
Clair, this is such
a beautiful kitchen.
Imagine a fireplace.
Such a lovely touch.
You know, I always thought
of people in New York
living in these small apartments,
but this is a big, beautiful home.
Thank you.
I don't think you really need
any help here in the kitchen.
I'll go spend some
time with Olivia.
Mrs. Kendall?
Please, I'm Loraine.
- Loraine.
- Yes.
Could we sit?
Loraine, my daughter is
not comfortable with you.
Well, I sensed
something was going on.
Martin told her what
you said about her.
- What did I say?
- You said you can't stand Denise.
What? I would never
say anything like that.
Martin said you did.
Let me just start by telling you
about Martin's first marriage.
He was fresh out of Annapolis,
and said he had to get
married right away to
this beautiful, intelligent
girl named Paula.
Well, now, you know
what I think, that this
was probably the
first girl Martin ever...
Okay.
Now, about a year goes by.
Olivia's born,
and Paula decides that she doesn't
want to be a wife and a mother anymore,
and she just ups and goes away.
Clair, when Martin brought
your daughter home,
I was so upset, I took him aside,
and I said, "Son, I can't stand this."
Now, I'm talking about, I can't stand
the way he goes off and gets married
without giving it any thought.
It has nothing to
do with Denise.
I was angry with Martin.
Boy, you have been misquoted.
Misquoted and misunderstood.
Those two children
ought to be thankful
they have mothers like us
who can put up with them.
I want to thank you because we are the
best things that ever happened to them.
Now, listen, wait, wait, just wait
till this sweet precious little Olivia
starts giving the same kind of
aggravation they're giving us.
Loraine, let's get on our
knees right now and pray.
Let's pray that Olivia grows
up and comes home one day
with three husbands,
four children, and a dog.
Amen.
See, now, the primary
function of this is the basement,
but this is the only place that I come
to where I can get complete privacy
because of the
offspring repellant.
Offspring repellent?
You know, things like tools that require
a person to make some work, you see.
If you look around
here, there's nothing soft.
No cushions or anything.
All these chairs,
everything, this is all wood.
Oak, you see.
See, there's no place
that a kid can roll on the floor
with his girlfriend or the boyfriend.
Offspring repellent.
Now that's old.
That is not a color TV
set. It's black and white.
It has rabbit ears.
You have to manipulate it
in order to get a clear picture,
and you have no remote,
so the kid has to get up and
walk over and change the channel.
So you know what you're doing.
And this is my baby.
Look at it. Record player.
You have to put a quarter on the
arm to keep it from sliding across...
Errrh... And the
speaker is just mono.
Hey, Dad. Are you still
giving Mr. Kendall a tour?
Oh, we're finished.
Well, Mom's looking for you.
They're serving appetizers
in the living room.
Well, tell her no, thank you.
We are going to stay
down here, watch some TV,
and listen to some records.
Would you all like to join us?
- No, no!
- No!
[door closes]
See? Offspring...
- Repellent.
- Repellent. There you go.
What kind of music you
play on that phonograph?
Ahh.
[whistling]
This would be perhaps the
greatest jazz collection in the world.
You see, what you're
looking at is Hawkins.
You have Perez. You
have Ahmad Jamal.
You can go on back to Louis
Armstrong. Go ahead back if you like.
- Coltrane.
- Please.
- Hawkins.
- Please.
- Bill Evans!
- Ha ha!
Rock Shine Rollin' Dirt!
Ha ha!
Any kind of jazz album
you want to listen to,
I have it right here, my friend.
I'll bet you haven't
heard this one.
Try me.
Lester "Motormouth" Sutton.
Live at the Pigfoot.
I have it.
I was there.
- You're kidding.
- On the front row.
- No.
- I saw it all.
Motormouth was blowing a
solo, and the band was cookin'.
Now, you know how Motormouth
gets when he starts to wailing,
dancing, and spinning
around on one foot.
Well, he spun right off the
stage and fell 12 feet into the pit.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I
wish I had been there.
You were there.
You remember those dances
we used to do back then?
- Oh, sure.
- The Slop.
- Please.
- The Stroll.
- Yes.
- The Madison.
Yes. And the Birdland.
Birdland? The Birdland.
See, you had to get a short
woman to do the Birdland,
and you put her right
on this thigh here.
A wamp-de-wamp.
Hey! A wamp-de-wamp.
Fm-fm-fm.
And wamp-de-wamp.
Wa-boom!
Those men have certainly been down
in that basement an awfully long time.
Yes, they have, but you know,
that's because Cliff thinks nobody
likes to go down in there but him.
Ah.
Little doth he know
that when he's not about,
I am down in there listening
to those jazz albums.
Hi. We're back from
the store. Is it okay?
[Clair] We're delighted.
Where's Olivia?
She's outside playing
with Vanessa and Rudy.
Well, I'm really pleased
to see you back, Martin.
I take it everything
went well in here?
Oh, it certainly did.
We got to the bottom of things,
and that's where we found you.
I beg your pardon?
You told Denise that I can't
stand her, and that's just not true.
- It's not?
- It's not?
No, it isn't.
But, Mom, I was
there when you said it.
Oh, I'm sure you were, but your
ears weren't. You don't listen.
I told you that I don't like the
way you do things without thinking.
I have nothing against Denise.
I don't even know Denise.
As far as I'm concerned, I
think Denise is a lovely person.
You do?
Yes. You and I are going
to be very good friends.
Friends. Oh, you and me?
You and me.
Mom!
[Loraine laughs]
And to think, Martin, that you
had me upset with your mother.
- This lovely woman.
- I know, but...
You made me put on this sweater because
you thought your mom couldn't stand me.
No, no. I was...
You made put her put this...
Oh, take that off.
That's not you.
Thank you.
Now listen. Can I...
Can I say something?
No, you can't say anything.
You cannot, because you've
wrecked things before they...
But I... [all talking at once]
Huh?
Hey.
How about Moody's Mood for Love?
1952 recording by King Pleasure.
I had it... and I
just wore it out.
And you call yourself
a jazz collector.
You want Moody's Mood
for Love, 1952 version?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'll sing it for you.

I was so upset, I took him aside,
and I said, "Son, I can't stand this."
Now, I'm talking about, I can't stand
the way he goes off and gets married
without giving it any thought.
It has nothing to
do with Denise.
I was angry with Martin.
Boy, you have been misquoted.
Misquoted and misunderstood.
Those two children
ought to be thankful
they have mothers like us
who can put up with them.
I want to thank you because we are the
best things that ever happened to them.
Now, listen, wait, wait, just wait
till this sweet precious little Olivia
starts giving the same kind of
aggravation they're giving us.
Loraine, let's get on our
knees right now and pray.
Let's pray that Olivia grows
up and comes home one day
with three husbands,
four children, and a dog.
Amen.
See, now, the primary
function of this is the basement,
but this is the only place that I come
to where I can get complete privacy
because of the
offspring repellant.
Offspring repellent?
You know, things like tools that require
a person to make some work, you see.
If you look around
here, there's nothing soft.
No cushions or anything.
All these chairs,
everything, this is all wood.
Oak, you see.
See, there's no place
that a kid can roll on the floor
with his girlfriend or the boyfriend.
Offspring repellent.
Now that's old.
That is not a color TV
set. It's black and white.
It has rabbit ears.
You have to manipulate it
in order to get a clear picture,
and you have no remote,
so the kid has to get up and
walk over and change the channel.
So you know what you're doing.
And this is my baby.
Look at it. Record player.
You have to put a quarter on the
arm to keep it from sliding across...
Errrh... And the
speaker is just mono.
Hey, Dad. Are you still
giving Mr. Kendall a tour?
Oh, we're finished.
Well, Mom's looking for you.
They're serving appetizers
in the living room.
Well, tell her no, thank you.
We are going to stay
down here, watch some TV,
and listen to some records.
Would you all like to join us?
- No, no!
- No!
[door closes]
See? Offspring...
- Repellent.
- Repellent. There you go.
What kind of music you
play on that phonograph?
Ahh.
[whistling]
This would be perhaps the
greatest jazz collection in the world.
You see, what you're
looking at is Hawkins.
You have Perez. You
have Ahmad Jamal.
You can go on back to Louis
Armstrong. Go ahead back if you like.
- Coltrane.
- Please.
- Hawkins.
- Please.
- Bill Evans!
- Ha ha!
Rock Shine Rollin' Dirt!
Ha ha!
Any kind of jazz album
you want to listen to,
I have it right here, my friend.
I'll bet you haven't
heard this one.
Try me.
Lester "Motormouth" Sutton.
Live at the Pigfoot.
I have it.
I was there.
- You're kidding.
- On the front row.
- No.
- I saw it all.
Motormouth was blowing a
solo, and the band was cookin'.
Now, you know how Motormouth
gets when he starts to wailing,
dancing, and spinning
around on one foot.
Well, he spun right off the
stage and fell 12 feet into the pit.
Yes, yes, yes, yes. I
wish I had been there.
You were there.
You remember those dances
we used to do back then?
- Oh, sure.
- The Slop.
- Please.
- The Stroll.
- Yes.
- The Madison.
Yes. And the Birdland.
Birdland? The Birdland.
See, you had to get a short
woman to do the Birdland,
and you put her right
on this thigh here.
A wamp-de-wamp.
Hey! A wamp-de-wamp.
Fm-fm-fm.
And wamp-de-wamp.
Wa-boom!
Those men have certainly been down
in that basement an awfully long time.
Yes, they have, but you know,
that's because Cliff thinks nobody
likes to go down in there but him.
Ah.
Little doth he know
that when he's not about,
I am down in there listening
to those jazz albums.
Hi. We're back from
the store. Is it okay?
[Clair] We're delighted.
Where's Olivia?
She's outside playing
with Vanessa and Rudy.
Well, I'm really pleased
to see you back, Martin.
I take it everything
went well in here?
Oh, it certainly did.
We got to the bottom of things,
and that's where we found you.
I beg your pardon?
You told Denise that I can't
stand her, and that's just not true.
- It's not?
- It's not?
No, it isn't.
But, Mom, I was
there when you said it.
Oh, I'm sure you were, but your
ears weren't. You don't listen.
I told you that I don't like the
way you do things without thinking.
I have nothing against Denise.
I don't even know Denise.
As far as I'm concerned, I
think Denise is a lovely person.
You do?
Yes. You and I are going
to be very good friends.
Friends. Oh, you and me?
You and me.
Mom!
[Loraine laughs]
And to think, Martin, that you
had me upset with your mother.
- This lovely woman.
- I know, but...
You made me put on this sweater because
you thought your mom couldn't stand me.
No, no. I was...
You made put her put this...
Oh, take that off.
That's not you.
Thank you.
Now listen. Can I...
Can I say something?
No, you can't say anything.
You cannot, because you've
wrecked things before they...
But I... [all talking at once]
Huh?
Hey.
How about Moody's Mood for Love?
1952 recording by King Pleasure.
I had it... and I
just wore it out.
And you call yourself
a jazz collector.
You want Moody's Mood
for Love, 1952 version?
- Mm-hmm.
- I'll sing it for you.
