Come on. Come on! Come on!
Clair?!
Come on...
Clair, Come on! Come
on! The Huxtable...
Ski bus is ready to go, dear!
Come on! Clair!
Okay!
All right! Come on, now!
Because... look. Are
you gonna hurry or what?
Hey, Dad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
How ya doin'? How ya doin'?
Yeah.
I can't believe Mom
finally got you
to go on a ski trip.
Your mother loves
all this stuff, see.
I'm not for it.
I don't care for
skiing myself, son,
because somehow I
always manage to be
five to six miles away
from a St. Bernard
that's looking for me
saying, "I can't find him."
Dad, don't worry about
it. You'll love it. Yeah.
Listen. I wanna thank you again
for letting me use the house.
Are you kidding? I can't
believe everyone is gone.
Hey, listen. Did Dad say
he was gonna clean it out?
I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Now, I gotta get
started 'cause, uh...
this dinner I'm
cooking for Cheryl?
Whoo! It's gonna be nice!
All right.
Say, listen. You...
are cooking?
Oh, yeah!
When I really became serious
about marrying her?
That's when I started
cooking for her.
Yeah, but that
was in olden days.
All right! Let's go! Hey!
I can't wait to
hit those slopes!
Now, look. I listened
to the weather report,
and the man said
that it might rain.
The man said ten
percent chance of rain.
All right. Whatever you...
What's the matter, Cliff?
Huh? You afraid of skiing?
Afraid of skiing? I'm
not afraid of skiing.
I told you that a long time ago.
The only thing I don't care for
is those trees. They're stupid.
They don't move
when you're coming
as much as you
yell at 'em. You say...
You say, "Watch out,
tree. Here I come."
Theo! Yeah, Dad?
You see me having
trouble with the door!
Oh, Cheryl's early!
All right.
Let's go, Theo.
Ellen. Hi, Theo.
Hi. How you doin'?
Great. Are those roses for me?
Sorry. They're for Denny.
He loves roses.
Hey, what's in the bag?
I just thought I'd
drop some things off
for his surprise party.
Tomorrow is just
going to be too hectic.
Hey. No problem.
You got a cold?
Oh, no. It's just my sinuses.
How's your dinner coming?
Uh, it's great.
Cheryl should be here
in about a half an hour.
Hey, let me get this for you.
Come on in!
Hey, look what I got!
Two tickets to a
benefit performance
of the new Quincy Jones movie.
Ha ha ha. All right.
"Reception before the movie."
Hmm. Denny's a pretty lucky guy.
Yeah. Can I get you
something to drink?
Uh, glass of wine would be nice.
Coming right up.
Okay, Theo. I'm
depending on you.
The movie gets
out at about 11:00,
so you guys have to be
there and ready by 11:30.
Hey, we'll be there.
Okay. And not a word because
I think Denny is beginning
to sense something.
Hey, listen. I'm your man.
See, I'm so good,
I could plan my
own surprise party
and still not catch on.
Wow, Theo. Everything
looks so good, but
these shrimp are raw.
No, see, they're supposed to be.
They stew in their
own hot sauce. Try one.
Very good, but very spicy.
Oh, yeah. Well, that's in case
you need a little
spice in your life.
Theo, this has
to be real special.
Do you realize that
Denny has never had
his own birthday party?
Are you serious? Yeah.
He always got stuck
sharing his parties
with his sister,
whose birthday is
two days earlier than his.
Well, tomorrow night,
he will definitely
have his own party.
To Denny and his birthday.
Yay.
Uh-oh. Something wrong?
I just realized I'm loaded
with antihistamines.
I'm not supposed
to have any alcohol.
Are you okay? Oh,
yeah. No. I'm fine.
I'm fine. But you know
what? I really better get going.
Well, you sure you're gonna
be able to get back all right?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm fine. But, look,
I've gotta get to
my parents' house
in case Denny calls. All right.
Ah, that's my rice.
Listen, I'll see you
tomorrow night, okay?
All right. Go ahead. Don't
ruin your dinner on my account.
I'll be fine.
Wow. All right!
Hey. Denny! Hey. What's up, man?
What are you lookin'
for? Oh, nothin'. Nothin'.
Look, I didn't come
at a bad time, did I?
No. Cheryl will be
here in a little bit.
But it's cool. Come
on in. So, what's up?
Nothing. Everything's fine.
Oh, good. Why are you here?
Oh. I called your apartment.
You roommate said you were here,
so I just thought I'd drop
by and see an old friend.
Theo, my life is over.
What? What are
you talking about?
It's Ellen, man. I...
I think she's two-timing me.
Come on, man. Where'd
you get an idea like that?
Ah, it's just that
she's been acting
real strange the
past couple of weeks.
Tonight, she's supposed to be at
her mother's. Only she's not there.
Well, Denny, maybe
she didn't get there yet.
No, Theo. I spoke to her father.
He says she wasn't expected.
Well, that doesn't
mean anything, man.
Theo, it is another guy.
I think you're really
misreading this whole thing.
These are some nice flowers.
Uh, yeah. You like these.
I, uh, got these for Cheryl.
Listen, man. Um...
I think you got this
whole thing wrong.
I've never seen a couple
happier than the two of you.
You really think so, huh?
Yeah!
Uh, Den, listen. Uh...
why don't you sit down
for a second and chill out?
I'll be right back. I
gotta run upstairs
and check on
something, all right?
I'll be right back!
Ellen?
Ellen. What are
you doing in here?
How come you have
my father's robe on?
What?
I don't feel so well.
Oh, no, honey. You
have to feel better.
Denny's downstairs. Huh? Why?
He thinks you're
seeing another guy.
What? Listen,
he's really upset,
and I think we need
to just go downstairs and
straighten this whole thing out, now.
Oh, no, Theo. Don't
ruin the surprise.
We went to so much trouble.
You know how Denny is. I
mean, he always gets carried away.
Hello, Denny! Hey,
Doctor and Mrs. Huxtable.
I thought you went skiing.
We did!
Drove up there,
about five miles.
Outside of town,
it started raining.
The, uh, ten percent
chance of rain
filled in to 100 percent.
So I said to Mrs. Huxtable,
I said, "Dear, I think it's raining.
Uh, we oughta turn back."
My wife said, "Oh, it's just a
little shower. Let's keep on going."
That's right. Uh-huh.
It was not raining
that hard. Mm-hmm.
It's all right. Stay
angry with me.
It wasn't my fault
it was raining.
She's mad at me
because it's raining.
Denny, we got out there.
About a hundred miles out,
rain is coming down this size.
I said to Mrs. Huxtable,
"Dear, I think it's
raining awfully hard."
She said, "Well, it's
raining down here,
but it won't be
raining up there, Cliff."
So we kept going.
Next thing I know,
little creatures
are coming out of the
forest with little rowboats.
Denny?
Where's Theo? Oh, he's upstairs.
I'm sorry to be such a bother.
Uh, look. Don't worry about it.
You stay here and rest.
I'm gonna calm Denny down.
Then I will get him to leave.
Theo!
What are they doing home?
Uh, quick. Where's
your dress, Ellen?
In the bathroom.
In the bathroom.
Hey, Ellen! This
thing is dripping wet!
I know! Well, I had to wash it.
My stomach got upset,
and I just started to...
No. I-I get the picture.
Theo! Where are you?
Uh, I'm upstairs, Mom!
Look, um... sit up. We're
gonna straighten you out.
I'm gonna explain
everything to my parents,
'cause they're both very
understanding people. All right?
Um, Dr. Huxtable, where
do you want these bags?
Just put 'em in the bedroom.
Denny! Is he coming in here?
Quick! In the bathroom!
Hey. Hey. Mom, Dad.
What happened
to the skiing trip?
Oh, we put 300
miles on those skis.
Too bad it was
on top of the car.
We got rained out.
Theo, why are you in this room?
W-Why am I in this room?
Yes. Why are you in this room?
Well, I, um... a tie.
I had to come in and get a tie.
That's right. Dad, do
you think this tie is cool?
No, man. The one you're
wearing matches your shirt better.
No, but, Dad, get with it.
Matching ties are out this year.
I'm sorry. I lost my head.
Theo, your father and I
are going out to dinner,
so we'll be out of your
hair in just a little while.
I'm going down to get
the rest of the luggage,
and then we're going out
for some Chinese food.
You need any help?
Yes. Yes, Denny.
Go down and help
Dad unload the car.
No, I don't need him to
help me unload anything.
Stay here.
Oh, Mom! Mom. Mom!
Could you come downstairs
and taste my chili sauce?
'Cause I'm not sure
if it's hot enough.
All right, honey. I just
need a few minutes.
I want to freshen
up. Sure. Uh...
Gas! Gas. Mom, I was
downstairs cooking,
and I could have sworn I
smelled gas or something.
Gas? Yeah.
I didn't smell any gas.
In the basement.
But then again, it
was probably nothing.
Oh, no, no, no. We are not
going to take any chances
when there's gas involved. I want you
to come show me where you smelled it.
Sure.
Ellen, please. Stay right there.
Don't move. I'll be right back.
Theo! I'm coming, Mom!
All right. Let's get down here,
'cause you don't
wanna fool with gas.
And this hot water heater is the
only thing that's running on gas.
Now, I don't smell
anything, Cliff.
Do you smell anything? No.
I don't smell anything, either.
Uh, guess it was
a false alarm, huh?
Sorry about that. Well, hey,
wanna come up and
sample some of my food?
It's good. Come on. Sure.
Well, Cliff, aren't you coming?
No, I don't wanna taste any
experimental love-cooking!
Ellen!
Ellen!
Oh, good. You're here.
Ellen, wake up. Wake up, honey.
Oh, I'm so dizzy.
I just need to sleep
for a few minutes.
No, no. You can't.
Denny's still downstairs.
Listen. He's really upset about
the way you've been acting.
We have to tell him
about the surprise party.
Oh, no, Theo. We can't.
This party's gonna
mean so much to him.
Look. He knows you
didn't go to your mother's.
We have to tell him the truth.
He wouldn't believe it.
Trust me. I think I
know my best friend.
You see how he carries on.
Our best chance is
to get me out of here,
and then by tomorrow
night, this will all be over with.
All right. Great.
Where's your dress? Oh,
in your parent" bathroom
Okay. I'm gonna go dry it.
You stay right here, okay?
This is Denise's room.
You're safe, okay?
Ellen?
All I'm saying to you is,
you could have at
least tasted Theo's food.
Don't want his food. I
wanna eat Chinese food!
What are you doing in our room?
W-w-what am I
doing in your room?
You don't live here.
You live in the Village!
I had to, uh,
borrow this jacket.
Can I borrow it? Thanks
a lot. You guys are great.
What is wrong with that boy?
Nothing, as long as he
doesn't wear your clothes.
Hey, Den, you know something?
I'm willing to bet that
if you left right now,
Ellen would be at
her mother's house.
Soon. In the near future.
Hi. Fleet's in!
What are you guys doing home?
Martin had the weekend off,
so we decided to come home.
Hey, Denny. How's it
goin'? Where's Ellen?
I don't know.
Well, it was a long trip.
Guess we'll turn in.
Yep. Ahh... Ah...
You know, Ellen used
to date a Navy guy.
Denny, would you
forget about Ellen? What?
I mean, forget
about the Navy. Uh...
Keep stirring, buddy.
Hey, Denise, Martin?
Hold up for a second.
Hey, Denise, Martin,
you guys. Please.
Denise. Open the
door. Please. Please.
Hey, listen. Theo, whatever
it is is gonna have to wait.
Martin and I haven't seen each other
in three weeks. No, I understand that...
Uh, you guys, um...
Theo! Oh, man!
I'm in here for a
reason. I said no!
I want you guys to know,
to understand... Theo!
That actually, I just
wanted you guys to know...
What is wrong with you? that both
of you should have a good night.
Good night!
Ellen.
Hey, Ellen.
Ellen!
Martin!
Ellen!
Ellen, Where are you?
Who you callin' "Ellen"?
Dad, you see, I need to...
Wait a minute. Hey,
who said "Ellen"?
I thought I heard him
say, "Ellen? Ellen?"
No, I-I-I-I said "melon". Melon.
Because, um, I
was supposed to get
some melon for desert,
and I forgot all about it.
Oh, okay. Well, look, Theo, your
soup was bubbling, so I turned it off.
Okay, great. Thanks.
Uh, hey, Dad?
Martin and Denise are
home. He got a weekend pass.
Denise, are you all right?
Yeah, Dad! I'm fine!
Hey, that's Cheryl! Wait a
minute, Theo. The flowers.
What? Oh, yeah! Yeah.
Okay. How's my tie?
Hey, it's fine, man.
All right.
Theo, sugar! Hey, Grandma.
How would a strapping
young man like yourself
feel about helping your
grandpa move a table saw?
A... A table saw?
He's finally building
me that pantry.
Who are the roses for?
Oh, his girlfriend.
Oh, what a thoughtful young
devil. Hey! You came
for the saw, huh?
He's finally building
me that pantry. Really?
I thought you were going skiing.
Oh, drove six and a half hours.
I'm telling you,
major disappointment.
Got rained on.
At least you're here to
help me with the saw.
Can I help? No, Denny!
You have to go... No, no, no!
No, look at this boy. He can
carry the whole saw by himself.
Now, come on, Den.
Uh, excuse me, Grandma.
What are you
doing, Dr. Huxtable?
I'm checking for gas.
You can't be too careful
about gas, you know.
Is that your laundry?
Uh, no. Something I
found in the washer,
and I figured I'd dry it. But,
Dad, we can do that later.
Let's take this table
saw upstairs for Grandpa.
We really need to get a...
Hey, Ellen has a
dress just like that.
Of course, hers is bigger.
Must be Olivia's.
It is now.
Anna. Russell.
Oh, Clair!
What are you two doing here?
All right, boys.
Coffee table at 10:00.
Here we go. Got it.
Oh, please let that be Cheryl.
Hey, man, don't
forget the flowers.
Flowers? Oh. Flowers. Right.
Okay.
Hey! Hey.
What are you two doing here?
Well, Grandpa asked
us to bring the van by
to load up the saw.
Well, you're just in time.
Okay. Let's move it on out.
Actually, one minute, Grandpa.
Rudy forgot her pajamas.
She wanted me to
pick some up for her.
Oh, they're upstairs
on top of the dresser.
Weren't you going skiing?
Theo.
Theo.
Hi. Hi.
I'm Elvin. You must
be Theo's friend.
Yes. Cheryl, right?
Oh, no. I'm Ellen.
Cheryl will be here later.
Oh.
Please don't say anything.
Okay.
Hey, is, uh... Theo.
This is a side of you
I've never seen before.
What do you mean? Hey. Hey.
Whatever goes on in your
parents' house is your business.
Their business.
Somebody's business.
It's not my business.
Hey. Hey, Elvin. Where is she?
It's not my business.
Ellen?
Theo. Hey. Listen, Ellen.
I'm really sorry, but
here's your dress.
Oh... you can't
machine-dry wool!
Theo, what am I gonna do? I can't
get on the subway in a bathrobe.
Hey, wait a minute.
This is Pam and Vanessa's room.
It's a breeding
ground for clothes.
You go in the closet. Pick
out whatever you want.
They'll never notice it.
Okay.
Get this saw loaded up,
and then we're all
going for Chinese food!
All right! Woo! Eat 'em up!
Now, easy, boys. Easy.
Hey, see you guys
later. Have a good dinner!
Bye, sweetheart. Be safe.
Yes.
No.
Denny, what are
you still doing here?
Look, I just wanted to thank
you for just putting up with me.
Oh, anytime, man.
That's what friends are for.
Oh, that's my curry.
I gotta get this dinner ready.
Theo, these movie tickets
have Ellen's name
on the envelope.
Uh, they do, don't they?
Yeah, that's right, Theo.
Uh, Denny, look, man.
Uh, this is hard to explain...
No, wait a minute. I think
it's gonna be easy to explain.
You see, I've been dying to
go see this Quincy Jones movie,
but she didn't want
to go. Now I know why!
You're the other guy, Theo!
It's always the best friend, isn't it?
Yo, Denny, look, you
got this whole thing wrong!
Look, just listen
to me, all right?
Denny, I'm trying to tell you...
Hold up. Give me one minute.
Hi! Hey, Cheryl. How you doin'?
Hi, Denny! How's Ellen?
I don't know. Ask Theo!
What's he talki" about, Theo?
Cheryl, give me one second.
I'll be with you. Have a seat.
I'll be right with you.
Denny, listen, man.
I can't tell you
about these tickets.
But believe me, I promise you,
when you find out about 'em,
you'll be happy
I didn't tell you.
All right?
Ellen! Hi. Theo.
Theo, you didn't tell me
Ellen was coming over.
Uh... I didn't know
she was coming over.
Theo, you ruined my surprise.
Surprise?
I asked you to
pick up the tickets,
not show them to him.
Ohhh... yeah!
What... boy, I-I really
messed up, didn't I?
But you told me
you didn't wanna go!
I said that because I wanted it
to be a surprise
for your birthday.
Theo, it looks like I've
jumped to a conclusion, man.
Hey, hey, man. It's all right.
You jump back, and we're okay.
Ellen, I am so sorry.
I've been acting
just like a fool.
Come on. Let's let Theo
and Cheryl enjoy their dinner.
Yeah. So long, Cheryl.
Bye. You two have a good time.
Have a good one. All right.
Theo, tonight I saw
the strangest thing.
Ellen was racing from the back
of your house to the front door.
Oh, well, if you thought
that was strange,
you should have
been here much earlier.
Well, what happened?
Ah. What happened?
Well, I'll tell you
about it over dinner.
Okay. Can I get you
something to drink?
Mmm... a glass of
wine would be nice.
Wine. No. No, no wine.
Uh... apple juice.
Yes. How's apple juice?
Juice? Okay. Apple juice, then.
Okay, great. We'll
have apple juice,
we'll eat dinner,
and I'll tell you...
You're the cook, so
whatever you say.

happier than the two of you.
You really think so, huh?
Yeah!
Uh, Den, listen. Uh...
why don't you sit down
for a second and chill out?
I'll be right back. I
gotta run upstairs
and check on
something, all right?
I'll be right back!
Ellen?
Ellen. What are
you doing in here?
How come you have
my father's robe on?
What?
I don't feel so well.
Oh, no, honey. You
have to feel better.
Denny's downstairs. Huh? Why?
He thinks you're
seeing another guy.
What? Listen,
he's really upset,
and I think we need
to just go downstairs and
straighten this whole thing out, now.
Oh, no, Theo. Don't
ruin the surprise.
We went to so much trouble.
You know how Denny is. I
mean, he always gets carried away.
Hello, Denny! Hey,
Doctor and Mrs. Huxtable.
I thought you went skiing.
We did!
Drove up there,
about five miles.
Outside of town,
it started raining.
The, uh, ten percent
chance of rain
filled in to 100 percent.
So I said to Mrs. Huxtable,
I said, "Dear, I think it's raining.
Uh, we oughta turn back."
My wife said, "Oh, it's just a
little shower. Let's keep on going."
That's right. Uh-huh.
It was not raining
that hard. Mm-hmm.
It's all right. Stay
angry with me.
It wasn't my fault
it was raining.
She's mad at me
because it's raining.
Denny, we got out there.
About a hundred miles out,
rain is coming down this size.
I said to Mrs. Huxtable,
"Dear, I think it's
raining awfully hard."
She said, "Well, it's
raining down here,
but it won't be
raining up there, Cliff."
So we kept going.
Next thing I know,
little creatures
are coming out of the
forest with little rowboats.
Denny?
Where's Theo? Oh, he's upstairs.
I'm sorry to be such a bother.
Uh, look. Don't worry about it.
You stay here and rest.
I'm gonna calm Denny down.
Then I will get him to leave.
Theo!
What are they doing home?
Uh, quick. Where's
your dress, Ellen?
In the bathroom.
In the bathroom.
Hey, Ellen! This
thing is dripping wet!
I know! Well, I had to wash it.
My stomach got upset,
and I just started to...
No. I-I get the picture.
Theo! Where are you?
Uh, I'm upstairs, Mom!
Look, um... sit up. We're
gonna straighten you out.
I'm gonna explain
everything to my parents,
'cause they're both very
understanding people. All right?
Um, Dr. Huxtable, where
do you want these bags?
Just put 'em in the bedroom.
Denny! Is he coming in here?
Quick! In the bathroom!
Hey. Hey. Mom, Dad.
What happened
to the skiing trip?
Oh, we put 300
miles on those skis.
Too bad it was
on top of the car.
We got rained out.
Theo, why are you in this room?
W-Why am I in this room?
Yes. Why are you in this room?
Well, I, um... a tie.
I had to come in and get a tie.
That's right. Dad, do
you think this tie is cool?
No, man. The one you're
wearing matches your shirt better.
No, but, Dad, get with it.
Matching ties are out this year.
I'm sorry. I lost my head.
Theo, your father and I
are going out to dinner,
so we'll be out of your
hair in just a little while.
I'm going down to get
the rest of the luggage,
and then we're going out
for some Chinese food.
You need any help?
Yes. Yes, Denny.
Go down and help
Dad unload the car.
No, I don't need him to
help me unload anything.
Stay here.
Oh, Mom! Mom. Mom!
Could you come downstairs
and taste my chili sauce?
'Cause I'm not sure
if it's hot enough.
All right, honey. I just
need a few minutes.
I want to freshen
up. Sure. Uh...
Gas! Gas. Mom, I was
downstairs cooking,
and I could have sworn I
smelled gas or something.
Gas? Yeah.
I didn't smell any gas.
In the basement.
But then again, it
was probably nothing.
Oh, no, no, no. We are not
going to take any chances
when there's gas involved. I want you
to come show me where you smelled it.
Sure.
Ellen, please. Stay right there.
Don't move. I'll be right back.
Theo! I'm coming, Mom!
All right. Let's get down here,
'cause you don't
wanna fool with gas.
And this hot water heater is the
only thing that's running on gas.
Now, I don't smell
anything, Cliff.
Do you smell anything? No.
I don't smell anything, either.
Uh, guess it was
a false alarm, huh?
Sorry about that. Well, hey,
wanna come up and
sample some of my food?
It's good. Come on. Sure.
Well, Cliff, aren't you coming?
No, I don't wanna taste any
experimental love-cooking!
Ellen!
Ellen!
Oh, good. You're here.
Ellen, wake up. Wake up, honey.
Oh, I'm so dizzy.
I just need to sleep
for a few minutes.
No, no. You can't.
Denny's still downstairs.
Listen. He's really upset about
the way you've been acting.
We have to tell him
about the surprise party.
Oh, no, Theo. We can't.
This party's gonna
mean so much to him.
Look. He knows you
didn't go to your mother's.
We have to tell him the truth.
He wouldn't believe it.
Trust me. I think I
know my best friend.
You see how he carries on.
Our best chance is
to get me out of here,
and then by tomorrow
night, this will all be over with.
All right. Great.
Where's your dress? Oh,
in your parent" bathroom
Okay. I'm gonna go dry it.
You stay right here, okay?
This is Denise's room.
You're safe, okay?
Ellen?
All I'm saying to you is,
you could have at
least tasted Theo's food.
Don't want his food. I
wanna eat Chinese food!
What are you doing in our room?
W-w-what am I
doing in your room?
You don't live here.
You live in the Village!
I had to, uh,
borrow this jacket.
Can I borrow it? Thanks
a lot. You guys are great.
What is wrong with that boy?
Nothing, as long as he
doesn't wear your clothes.
Hey, Den, you know something?
I'm willing to bet that
if you left right now,
Ellen would be at
her mother's house.
Soon. In the near future.
Hi. Fleet's in!
What are you guys doing home?
Martin had the weekend off,
so we decided to come home.
Hey, Denny. How's it
goin'? Where's Ellen?
I don't know.
Well, it was a long trip.
Guess we'll turn in.
Yep. Ahh... Ah...
You know, Ellen used
to date a Navy guy.
Denny, would you
forget about Ellen? What?
I mean, forget
about the Navy. Uh...
Keep stirring, buddy.
Hey, Denise, Martin?
Hold up for a second.
Hey, Denise, Martin,
you guys. Please.
Denise. Open the
door. Please. Please.
Hey, listen. Theo, whatever
it is is gonna have to wait.
Martin and I haven't seen each other
in three weeks. No, I understand that...
Uh, you guys, um...
Theo! Oh, man!
I'm in here for a
reason. I said no!
I want you guys to know,
to understand... Theo!
That actually, I just
wanted you guys to know...
What is wrong with you? that both
of you should have a good night.
Good night!
Ellen.
Hey, Ellen.
Ellen!
Martin!
Ellen!
Ellen, Where are you?
Who you callin' "Ellen"?
Dad, you see, I need to...
Wait a minute. Hey,
who said "Ellen"?
I thought I heard him
say, "Ellen? Ellen?"
No, I-I-I-I said "melon". Melon.
Because, um, I
was supposed to get
some melon for desert,
and I forgot all about it.
Oh, okay. Well, look, Theo, your
soup was bubbling, so I turned it off.
Okay, great. Thanks.
Uh, hey, Dad?
Martin and Denise are
home. He got a weekend pass.
Denise, are you all right?
Yeah, Dad! I'm fine!
Hey, that's Cheryl! Wait a
minute, Theo. The flowers.
What? Oh, yeah! Yeah.
Okay. How's my tie?
Hey, it's fine, man.
All right.
Theo, sugar! Hey, Grandma.
How would a strapping
young man like yourself
feel about helping your
grandpa move a table saw?
A... A table saw?
He's finally building
me that pantry.
Who are the roses for?
Oh, his girlfriend.
Oh, what a thoughtful young
devil. Hey! You came
for the saw, huh?
He's finally building
me that pantry. Really?
I thought you were going skiing.
Oh, drove six and a half hours.
I'm telling you,
major disappointment.
Got rained on.
At least you're here to
help me with the saw.
Can I help? No, Denny!
You have to go... No, no, no!
No, look at this boy. He can
carry the whole saw by himself.
Now, come on, Den.
Uh, excuse me, Grandma.
What are you
doing, Dr. Huxtable?
I'm checking for gas.
You can't be too careful
about gas, you know.
Is that your laundry?
Uh, no. Something I
found in the washer,
and I figured I'd dry it. But,
Dad, we can do that later.
Let's take this table
saw upstairs for Grandpa.
We really need to get a...
Hey, Ellen has a
dress just like that.
Of course, hers is bigger.
Must be Olivia's.
It is now.
Anna. Russell.
Oh, Clair!
What are you two doing here?
All right, boys.
Coffee table at 10:00.
Here we go. Got it.
Oh, please let that be Cheryl.
Hey, man, don't
forget the flowers.
Flowers? Oh. Flowers. Right.
Okay.
Hey! Hey.
What are you two doing here?
Well, Grandpa asked
us to bring the van by
to load up the saw.
Well, you're just in time.
Okay. Let's move it on out.
Actually, one minute, Grandpa.
Rudy forgot her pajamas.
She wanted me to
pick some up for her.
Oh, they're upstairs
on top of the dresser.
Weren't you going skiing?
Theo.
Theo.
Hi. Hi.
I'm Elvin. You must
be Theo's friend.
Yes. Cheryl, right?
Oh, no. I'm Ellen.
Cheryl will be here later.
Oh.
Please don't say anything.
Okay.
Hey, is, uh... Theo.
This is a side of you
I've never seen before.
What do you mean? Hey. Hey.
Whatever goes on in your
parents' house is your business.
Their business.
Somebody's business.
It's not my business.
Hey. Hey, Elvin. Where is she?
It's not my business.
Ellen?
Theo. Hey. Listen, Ellen.
I'm really sorry, but
here's your dress.
Oh... you can't
machine-dry wool!
Theo, what am I gonna do? I can't
get on the subway in a bathrobe.
Hey, wait a minute.
This is Pam and Vanessa's room.
It's a breeding
ground for clothes.
You go in the closet. Pick
out whatever you want.
They'll never notice it.
Okay.
Get this saw loaded up,
and then we're all
going for Chinese food!
All right! Woo! Eat 'em up!
Now, easy, boys. Easy.
Hey, see you guys
later. Have a good dinner!
Bye, sweetheart. Be safe.
Yes.
No.
Denny, what are
you still doing here?
Look, I just wanted to thank
you for just putting up with me.
Oh, anytime, man.
That's what friends are for.
Oh, that's my curry.
I gotta get this dinner ready.
Theo, these movie tickets
have Ellen's name
on the envelope.
Uh, they do, don't they?
Yeah, that's right, Theo.
Uh, Denny, look, man.
Uh, this is hard to explain...
No, wait a minute. I think
it's gonna be easy to explain.
You see, I've been dying to
go see this Quincy Jones movie,
but she didn't want
to go. Now I know why!
You're the other guy, Theo!
It's always the best friend, isn't it?
Yo, Denny, look, you
got this whole thing wrong!
Look, just listen
to me, all right?
Denny, I'm trying to tell you...
Hold up. Give me one minute.
Hi! Hey, Cheryl. How you doin'?
Hi, Denny! How's Ellen?
I don't know. Ask Theo!
What's he talki" about, Theo?
Cheryl, give me one second.
I'll be with you. Have a seat.
I'll be right with you.
Denny, listen, man.
I can't tell you
about these tickets.
But believe me, I promise you,
when you find out about 'em,
you'll be happy
I didn't tell you.
All right?
Ellen! Hi. Theo.
Theo, you didn't tell me
Ellen was coming over.
Uh... I didn't know
she was coming over.
Theo, you ruined my surprise.
Surprise?
I asked you to
pick up the tickets,
not show them to him.
Ohhh... yeah!
What... boy, I-I really
messed up, didn't I?
But you told me
you didn't wanna go!
I said that because I wanted it
to be a surprise
for your birthday.
Theo, it looks like I've
jumped to a conclusion, man.
Hey, hey, man. It's all right.
You jump back, and we're okay.
Ellen, I am so sorry.
I've been acting
just like a fool.
Come on. Let's let Theo
and Cheryl enjoy their dinner.
Yeah. So long, Cheryl.
Bye. You two have a good time.
Have a good one. All right.
Theo, tonight I saw
the strangest thing.
Ellen was racing from the back
of your house to the front door.
Oh, well, if you thought
that was strange,
you should have
been here much earlier.
Well, what happened?
Ah. What happened?
Well, I'll tell you
about it over dinner.
Okay. Can I get you
something to drink?
Mmm... a glass of
wine would be nice.
Wine. No. No, no wine.
Uh... apple juice.
Yes. How's apple juice?
Juice? Okay. Apple juice, then.
Okay, great. We'll
have apple juice,
we'll eat dinner,
and I'll tell you...
You're the cook, so
whatever you say.
