Ah... Rudy!

Olivia? Dinner's ready.

There's one.

And here's the other.

I do hope that the two
of you have made up.

I want to make up with her,

but she doesn't want
to make up with me.

Now, Rudy?

Make up with Olivia.

Rudy, I want you
to go over there,



and give her a big hug.

Go ahead.

Fine.

You always get your way.

You haven't seen anything yet.

What's for dinner?

Liver!

Ew! I hate liver!

Tastes icky!

Oh, but it's so
good for you. Eat it.

Well, if it's so good for you,

why don't you eat it?

Uh-oh!

What did you say?

Weren't you listening?

I said "You eat it."

Please.

Okay.

Mom! What are you doing?

Rudy, she said please.

Dear, how could you
just give in to her like that?

You eat it, too. Please.

Please doesn't work for me.

I'll be your best friend!

Okay!

Okay. Dad!

I want to be her best friend.

Here. You eat your liver.

Can I have some
vanilla ice cream, please?

Yeah, right.

Vanilla ice cream.

Honey, that is not a
well-balanced meal.

Told you.

But...

Cake and vanilla ice cream is.

Thank you!

She gets to eat cake
and vanilla ice cream?

Yes. And did you put your
clothes back in the drawer?

No.

Well, you better get to it.

Olivia should do it.

She was the one
who pulled 'em out.

She should put 'em back in.

Can't you see she's
eating cake and ice cream?

She doesn't have time, darling,

to clean up the room.

So you go do it! Right?

Right!

Toodle-oo!

See what happened
when you get in my way?

Grownups always listen to me!

Why?

'Cause I'm Olivia,
and I'm special.

A special pain.

Hey, Rudy. Don't make me

have to use my powers on you.

What powers?

I have grownups under my spell.

You used to have these powers,

but now you're too big.

What are you talking about?

Remember this, Rudy?

Please let me have my way!

Your voice can't do
that anymore, can it?

You can't sound that pitiful.

Maybe not, but my parents

can see straight
through that stuff.

They'll catch you.

Not with me.

I'll get my way
forever! Ah ha ha ha!

I have so much energy,

I think I'll jump up
and down on the bed

with my shoes on! Ah ha ha ha!

Olivia, don't do it!

Stop it, Olivia!

Olivia.

Aren't you going to help
Rudy put her things away?

No.

Now look.

You took these
things off of the bed.

You put 'em back on.

And I said no.

Oh, now you see
here, young lady.

Just one minute. We will not
have this talking back to us.

You tell 'er, Mom.

But I feel so tired.

My arms feel like
they're going to fall off.

Look at me.

Cliff! Look at her.

Oh, poor thing. She's exhausted.

Can't you see she's faking?

Just a minute ago,
she was jumping

up and down on the
bed with her shoes on.

Don't you know that this is

a poor little innocent child?

Can't you have some compassion?

Dad, this is ridiculous.

Can't you see she's
manipulating you?

She's not manipulating anyone.

Look at her.

I feel so tired.

Listen to her!

I think I'm coming
down with a fever.

Oh, with a fever!

And you. Take all this stuff

and put it back in the drawers

and clean up the room.

Bye-bye, cute little thing, you!

What have you
done to my parents?

You... You witch!

If you don't want
to get punished,

you better get busy.

Oh...

Mom! Dad!

Hi, Rudy.

Olivia, what are you doing?

I'm painting pictures.
Do you like it?

Ah, you're gonna get it now.

Mom and Dad never
gonna go for this.

We'll see.

Olivia!

Did you do this?

Yes! Do you like it?

Mom. Dad.

Don't be too hard on her.

And why not?

What possessed you,
Olivia, to take that brush

and paint these walls?

I want answers, young lady,

and I want them right now.

I was just trying to make
you happy because...

I love you!

Oh, baby! We love you, too!

Please don't cry.

We love you. You
know that, don't you?

I think so.

Mom! Dad! She just
trashed our house!

How dare you say that?

Yes! How dare you?

This is the work of a
budding young artist.

Trash, indeed.

And you're just so rude!

As a matter of fact,

that's how you got your name.

Rude E. Rude E.

Rude E.

Why, this wall alone

will double the
value of our home.

Oh, it's so uplifting!

I can be uplifting.

I have talent, too.

Oh, really?

Yeah! I found this violin

on my way home from school.

I think I could be
really good at it.

♪♪

What do you think?

You missed a note.

Really, Rudy.

I don't think the violin
is your cup of tea.

7 and 3 are 9!

Did you hear that?

Amazing!

But 7 and 3 are 10.

She was one off.

Really, young lady.

I do think you
need to get started

on that wall.

Hmm. It needs something.

Could you pose for me?

Oh, yes...

Right there! Perfect!

Done!

Now it's priceless.

Let's go call the appraisers!

Why are you doing this?

What do you want from me?

What do you think I want, Rudy?

I want your room.
Ah ha ha ha ha!

Oh, no.

Olivia... get off the phone.

Olivia... get off the phone.

Giuseppe, you're so funny.

Well, how's
kindergarten in Rome?

You're calling Rome?

Hold on, Giuseppe.

Do you mind?

Oh, wait. I'll ask.

Jamba Rakim! How's
the weather in Nairobi?

I'll tell Giuseppe.

Ooh, this is gonna be good.

Mom! Dad!

Dr. Huxtable. Mrs. Huxtable.

Yes, dear. What is it?

Is everything all right?

I miss all my friends,
and Rudy's bothering me.

Rudy, shame on you.

But she's calling
all over the world

on two phones.

And?

And she's wasting
all your money,

and she's tying up the phones

so you can't get any
emergency phone calls.

Will you stop whining?

Dr. Huxtable here.

Just a second, please.

For you.

Could you hold this,
Dr. Huxtable, please?

G'day, mate!

Hi, Rudy.

Sondra. Elvin.
You've gotta help me.

What's the matter?

Rudy, what
happened to this room?

Olivia did it.

And she's taken
over Mom and Dad.

It's like she's a
witch or something.

Oh, Rudy. Come on.

You know there's no
such thing as witches.

But she's been talking
back to Mom and Dad,

She destroyed our house,

and she ran up the phone bill.

She did all that? Yes!

She must be a witch.

And what's worse, she
wants to take over my room.

Honey? I don't like
the looks of this.

Sondra, Elvin,
you've got to help me.

I can't take this anymore.

I'll do anything.

I'll even babysit.

Okay, Rudy. Whatever you want.

You know we love you. Yeah.

Thank heavens you came in time.

Oh... Aw...

Sondra! Elvin!

What has she been telling you?

Oh. Ha ha ha! Nothing.

Something about babysitting.

Yeah. Likely story.

Here they are. Three tickets

to the Jackson concert.

Which Jackson?

Whichever Jackson you like.

I'm sorry. I can't
go. I have a date.

You have a date? You're only 5!

Don't push it, Rudy!

Dr. and Mrs. Huxtable said

that I'm very mature for my age.

Dad, Olivia has a date?

Yeah. What's the
matter with that?

She's very mature for her age.

That must be my date.

How are you? I'm Dr. Huxtable.

What's up, Doc? I'm Marley.

Yo, Olivia. Let's shake it.

I am ready.

Just one second.

Now what time will you be back?

Whenever we feel like it.

You got a problem
with that, Doc?

No, I was just... I
was just checking.

Doesn't she have a curfew?

Well, of course
she has a curfew.

Well, now, what time

would you like to be back?

Tuesday.

Sounds like a plan.

All right. Well, then, Tuesday

is... is the curfew.

When I get back,
that room is mine!

Bye, all!

Bye! Have a good time! Bye.

Word to the missus.

Surprise!

Surprise.

Happy Birthday, Rudy!

My birthday?

Yes! It's your birthday.

And you know what
birthdays mean.

Gifts! Yay!

There you are! Ta-da!

Ha ha ha! Open it.

This is the saxophone
you gave me

for my birthday three years ago.

That's correct!

And you love it so much,

so I went up to your room,

and I put it in a
box. Happy Birthday!

And this is a big one.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That's
from Elvin and me.

Oh, nice box!

Open it, Rudy.

These are my school books.

Yay! Yes!

Wanted to get you
something we knew you'd use!

Happy Birthday, Rudy.

Happy Birthday.
More, more, more!

We have more! Yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes.

These are my shoes.
These are my socks!

Why is everyone giving me stuff

that I already own?

Oh, you can thank
Olivia for that.

She told us just
what you wanted.

And... the piece de resistance.

To save the best
for last. Oh, yes...

You're a young woman now,

and it's time you
started dressing like one,

so we decided to give
you your very first...

designer jacket.

Ooh.

Oh, it's beautiful!
Thank you, Mom.

Oh! Oh, yes. Yes!

Ooh! Ah!

Thank you, Mom!

Yes! Olivia said you'd love it.

Mm-hmm!

And now, a toast. A toast.

Yes. This is a
momentous occasion.

It's Rudy's birthday,

and we all know what that means!

104 more days,

and it'll be Olivia's birthday!

Yay! Yay!

And so, to commemorate
the occasion,

we have decided to present

you, Olivia, with
a special surprise.

Wonderful. Let's all
go upstairs and see!

You don't mind, do you, Rudy?

Yes. Oh! Let's go!

Aah!

Whoa.

You're not serious.

There it is. A pony!

Just what I've always wanted!

This isn't fair!

You said we couldn't
have any pets in this house

because when you were little,

you sat on your
pet canary Charley!

Yeah, but this is...

This is different, honey.

You can sit on this.

Oh, besides, it's
gonna be so much fun

having this pony in the house.

She's so cute!

This is ridiculous. This
stupid horse is on my bed!

Rudy, please.

Where am I supposed to sleep?

How you doin', pud?

Dad, I'm miserable.

It's awful being down here.

I can't get comfortable.

This hay is sticking me
and poking me, and...

Well, I'm sorry.

I can fix that for you.

Thanks, Dad. I knew
I could count on you.

Oh, you're welcome.

Move out of the way.

Take this, because the pony

wants to have a little snack

before going to bed.

Thank you for the hay, dear.

Here you are, Olivia.

Ice cream.

Mm-mm. No, no, no, no.

These are blackberries!
I wanted blueberries!

But Olivia, we looked
all over America,

and we couldn't
find them anywhere.

You didn't try hard enough!

But, Olivia, we did!

Well, you didn't try Canada.

Oh, please stop.
Well, you didn't!

I told... didn't I
say try Canada?

But oh, no!

You said get the
child blackberries!

She'll never notice.
Well, she noticed, Cliff.

And now you are in trouble.

No! You're both in trouble!

As far as I'm concerned,

you two go jump in the lake!

No, we can't do that.

I said go jump in the lake!

No. We don't want to.

Do it! No.

Yes!

No!

What have you done?

It's my dream.

Jump in the lake!

Jump in the lake!

Jump in the lake!

No, no, no!

Jump in the lake!
