I just love homecoming. Don't you?

Hillman versus Dominion.

It's a rivalry that spans almost a century.

Maggie, you seem to be having some trouble with your balloons.

How did you get yours so full?

It's all in your technique.

I always use short but steady puffs of air.

Whitley, do you need me to blow up any more balloons for you?

No, thank you, Ron.

Wait.

Here.

Remember, "short but steady puffs"?

Well, the mark of a good leader is the ability to delegate.

Erica! I told you, more Indian corn!

Maggie, guess what?

I got it. I got a solo in the Glee Club!

Oh, Jaleesa, that's so great!

So, you'll be making musical history and we'll be making Hillman history!

Oh, that's right, "Operation�

Yogi."

I can't wait to see those Dominion guys' faces when we snatch their mascot.

- I know. - Hey, guys.

Hi!

Hey, guess who's got a solo in the Glee Club!

Not you.

- Congratulations! - Thank you.

I'll have you know I was in my junior high school choir.

Okay.

So, where have you been all afternoon?

Cleaning the room.

Denise, that's twice in one week.

Wait, no. See, this has to have something to do

with your grandfather coming to visit.

Yes, it does.

He has this habit of noticing things.

And I think he's one of the great noticers of our time.

Oh, I wonder if he'll notice my "Men of USC" calendar.

Only if he looks under your mattress.

He sounds a little tough.

No, he's sweet.

I love him.

Oh, but if he does mention my grades-

Lie?

No, just don't tell him the truth.

What kind of friends do you think we are?

Oh, wait a minute, guys.

We still have to discuss "Operation�

Yogi."

"Operation�

Yogi"?

Yeah, that's the name Maggie came up with

for stealing the Dominion bear head.

Oh, very clever. I like that.

But you guys are gonna have to count me out.

Well, we can change the name. "Operation Boo-Boo"?

Not the name, Maggie. It's not the name!

Come on, Denise, look.

Isn't it always, every year, a bunch of guys who steal the bear head?

Yeah, Denise, we have a chance to be the first Hillman women

to do something for homecoming besides blow up balloons.

Guys, I know. I know. I want to be a part of this, too.

But I told you, my grandfather, he notices things.

And if he noticed me stealing a bear head-

I don't think he'd be very happy.

Say something.

This is not the way we planned it.

The success of this mission depends on precision.

Three well-oiled cogs working together to steal the-

She, um, choked on a balloon.

Oh.

What a shame. We're running low.

- Hey, gang. - Hi.

Hey, Coach!

You folks have done a wonderful job

turning this funky old gym into a banquet hall.

Thank you.

Well, now, be honest, Coach.

Are we gonna beat Dominion?

Honestly, no.

Why?

We're not gonna beat Dominion.

We're going to pulverize them!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

Hillman! Hillman! Hillman!

? Stand we, tall heads held high ?

? Strong and free� ?

Excuse me.

I'm looking for Denise Huxtable.

Oh, you're Denise's father?

Father? Ha!

I'm her grandfather.

I'm Russell Huxtable,

Hillman class of 1935.

Oh, this is Dr. Cordell Overby.

As you can see, he has no class.

Well, I'm Stevie Rallen, Hillman class of�

Let's just say it was some time after the two of you graduated.

Oh, well, it's so nice meeting you.

I'm always proud to meet a Hillman woman.

Especially a beautiful one.

Well, Denise will be back any minute.

She and her roommates went to decorate the gym.

Before she gets back, let me ask you�

How is Denise coming along with her studies?

Oh�

She's doing much better.

Hillman women,

they protect their own.

That's right.

Well, if you'll excuse me,

I'm going to go register and pick up my name tag.

I bet that's not the only thing you're gonna pick up.

- It's so nice meeting you. - Mm-hmm.

So very nice meeting you!

Yes.

Watch out for that man. He's a recent divorcee.

So is my ex-husband.

Ah! There's my girl!

Oh, gosh! Grandpa!

Feels like you've been skipping a few meals.

Oh. Just breakfast.

The most important meal of the day!

Of course, when I was at Hillman, we weren't allowed to skip meals.

It's a good thing I brought along some of your grandmother's peach cobbler.

Ooh! I thought I smelled something delicious!

Now wait a minute. There's a piece missing.

Well, it started to rain pretty hard outside of Washington,

so I had to pull over.

Besides, those rum-raisin cookies weren't filling me up.

Mm, I smell home cooking.

Hey, you guys.

This is my grandpa. These are my roommates.

This is Jaleesa Vinson.

Hi, nice to meet you.

- And this is Maggie Lauten. - Hi.

Guess who?

Dwayne, it's too late for Halloween

and too early for you to return to Capistrano.

Don't tell me.

You must be the Hillman mascot.

Dwayne Wayne.

Very pleased to meet you.

I'm Russell Huxtable, Denise's grandfather.

You're Denise's grandfather?

Let me say, it is a thrill

to meet the man who created the man

who created Denise!

So, um, you're the mascot.

When I was in the marching band,

at half time, we'd spell out Hillman.

Then the mascot would come out and dot the "I."

- Do you still do that? - Yes, sir!

Don't be surprised if he dots the "M."

Son, I hope you feel lucky.

Nothing would please me more

than to pin back the ears of those Dominion bears.

Don't worry, I'm going to wear

the same underwear I wore when I aced my chemistry test.

Good.

Denise, by the way, how are your grades, hmm?

Improving.

They're much better. She's in no danger of failing.

I'm glad to hear that. Uh�

Nice meeting you all. So long, sweetheart.

- Bye, Grandpa. - Mm-hmm.

- Hey. - Huh?

The peach cobbler.

Oh, sorry.

I guess I was used to carrying it around.

Well, I better go look for my lucky underwear.

And there he goes, poultry in motion.

Really.

- Denise, your grandpa is so cute. - I know.

Really. He doesn't seem to me like the kind of man

who'd object to someone stealing a bear head.

Are you kidding? I know my own grandfather.

I could just hear him now, "Denise, when I went to Hillman,

we never went in for such foolishness."

I'm going to steal that bear head if it's the last thing I do.

After all these years, you're still hung up about that.

That's easy for you to say.

Back in '35, you were the one who stole it!

Russell, how old are you?

You know how old I am. I'm two years older than you.

- Three! - Well, I look five years younger.

I don't care how young you think you look.

You didn't have the nerve to do it then,

and I'll bet you don't have the nerve to do it now.

How much money did you bring with you?

All right. About $100 that you'll never see.

You're on!

Bet!

I'm going to go get a cup of coffee to go with this pie.

- Can I get anything for you? - No pie for me.

That's why I look five years younger than you.

Oh�

Oh, excuse me. Aren't you the fellow who's the mascot?

Oh, Grandpa. Can I call you "Grandpa"?

I prefer not.

Sorry.

Listen, could we have a little talk?

Sure, what about?

Oh�

Bears.

Pie?

Come on, Denise.

This is our chance to become legends in our own time.

Future generations will say,

"1987, the year those girls from Gilbert Hall

stole that bear head."

Maggie, I've told you a thousand times, I'm not doing anything

that's going to get me in trouble while my grandfather's here.

Look, it would be really nice if we could do this all together.

I mean, that's how we always do things, and that is how we planned it.

But if the girl feels she can't do it, then she can't do it.

Right. Yeah, yeah. It is just possible that the two of us

will be able to pull off this very risky undertaking.

Which would be even riskier without the essential third person.

You two are incredible! You think this pitiful performance of yours

is actually gonna convince me to forget about my grandfather

and join forces with you two?

Excuse me!

Could one of you girls zip me up, please?

All right! I'll do it!

Thank you.

Don't you just love this dress?

I'm going to wear it tonight.

I just got it from Daddy.

Oh, he must have looked lovely in it.

You must have had a very flamboyant upbringing.

You-

Whitley!

Listen, you're involved in all this homecoming stuff, right?

Mm-hmm.

Would you, by any chance, know what time the Dominion bear is coming tonight?

That's a very strange question.

Even for you.

Well, I'm doing an interview for the school paper.

"Mascots: The People Inside the Animals."

How fascinating.

But I'm afraid that information is strictly confidential,

and for a good reason.

Normally, I'm a traditionalist.

But I find stealing the Dominion bear head to be one tradition

that is morally reprehensible and just plain dumb.

I was just asking.

I don't know why those silly boys do it every year.

Maybe it's an excess of testosterone.

"Just plain dumb."

I guess the first thing we should do, is figure out if the Dominion mascot

is dressing in the same place as the Hillman mascot.

Good question!

Whoa, one minute!

Does this mean you're in with us?

Yes, I'm with in you.

I'll show Whitley we can be as silly as those boys.

Listen. Wait, wait. This is brilliant. This is brilliant.

Dwayne Wayne. He's a mascot.

- He's our friend. - And he's certainly silly.

Right?

Oh, wait.

- We can't ask Dwayne. - Why?

He's a man.

Right now, he's a bird.

Works for me.

Okay.

Let me get this straight.

You want yours truly, Dwayne Wayne,

to help you steal the bear head?

Come on, son.

Where's your school spirit?

This is a bet, right?

Have you talked to my friend, Dr. Cordell Overby?

- No. - This has nothing to do with money.

It's the principle of the thing.

Well, sir�

Call me "Grandpa."

Well, Gramps, I'll do it.

Ah, that's splendid.

But I didn't say you could call me "Gramps."

Oh. Sorry, Grandpa. Oh.

- Listen, one question. - Hmm?

Why me?

- Well, you are the mascot. - Mm-hmm.

You can find out where the other mascot

will be dressing for the banquet.

Then all you have to do, is distract the guards

while I steal the head.

That should be easy for a smart fellow such as yourself.

I love this.

Partners in crime with Denise's granddaddy!

Ooh.

- Do me a favor� - Hmm?

Tell Denise how instrumental I was to your cause.

Oh, no.

Don't breath a word of this to her. Not a word.

Why not?

Well, when you get to be my age,

you have a certain image to maintain.

Oh, I get it. You don't want Denise to think you're a wacky old guy, huh?

Sir.

Well, you've been gone awhile.

Funny thing.

The cashier's a recent divorcee, too.

And she makes a nice cup of coffee.

Hey, where's my pie?

He ate it. Come on, I'll buy you another one.

Okay. Uh, later, Gramps.

Grandpa. Grandpa.

Hey, Dwayne.

Hey, can we join you?

You know, you must be so excited to be the mascot.

- Mm-hmm! - You're going to do a great job.

I found my lucky underwear.

Oh.

Great. 'Cause everyone's counting on you.

Yeah, especially us.

We need you to help steal the Dominion bear head.

Uh, my underwear are not that lucky.

Come on, Dwayne.

Look, look, look, look, it's not that� that I don't want to help you�

it's just that�

I can't let you do this.

Why can't you?

Uh� Well, because-

Why? Because we're just a bunch of girls?

No, because-

Because you don't have the guts to do it?

Because-

Because you're planning to steal the bear head yourself. Aren't you, Dwayne?

Because�

For no reason.

I just can't. I can't let you do this. This is risky. Think of the risks.

We know the risks. We're willing to take them.

Are you with us or not? Don't waste our time.

Hey, hey. Now, I'm not a man who rushes into things. Okay?

All you have to do is tell us when it gets here, and where they're keeping it.

- That's it? - Yes!

No, I� I really� I shouldn't do this.

But since it's you.

And you two, of course, I'll do it.

- Great. - Thanks, Dwayne.

Oh, one more thing.

My grandfather is not to hear of this.

He won't hear it from me.

- Thanks. - See you.

Tomorrow, the Hillman Falcons and Dominion Bears do battle

for the 82nd time.

But, tonight, I'd like to welcome our students, our graduates,

and especially our guests from Dominion

to our annual homecoming banquet.

Thank you, Coach Walter Oakes.

And now,

for your listening pleasure, our very own Hillman Glee Club,

in a concert of musical gems.

Don't all rush to the powder room at once.

All right, Jaleesa!

Denise, you have such a lovely voice.

Why aren't you in the choir?

Oh, because I'm too busy studying, Grandpa.

Excuse me.

When I first met Denise, I thought she was a little scattered.

But actually, she's very mature for a girl her age.

Oh, yes.

And she's doing her very best

to live up to the high standards you Huxtables have set, and-

Glad to hear it. Would you excuse me?

In the storage room, right now.

Ah! Grandpa Huxtable!

Hi, Grandpa.

Hey, you the guys they got guarding the Dominion mascot, right?

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You going to leave me hanging, man?

All right.

I've been sent down here to relieve you.

Go upstairs to the buffet. There's plenty of food.

Who are you?

Who am I?

Steve, Derek�

It's me, Bobby, man!

You know me, man. I know you know.

Wait a minute. If you don't know me, something's not right here.

Oh, yeah.

There are two Hillman students running around

trying to pass themselves off as Dominion students.

They're trying to steal the bear head.

Let me ask you a question, Derek.

When was Dominion founded?

Uh�

1879.

No, I'm sorry, it was 1881. I want some ID now.

From both of you. Come on.

Right now. ID.

Okay, you don't got no ID.

I don't need this stuff. Get out of here. I love you. Go.

Maybe you should get out of here.

Hey, guys!

Bobby?

Ginger.

Do you know these guys? Are they really true-blue Dominion?

Derek? Steve?

Sure, I've seen them around campus plenty of times.

Although, I just saw Coach, and, um, he wants you upstairs.

Coach?

Yeah, and he didn't look too happy.

- Hey, thanks, Ginger. - Okay.

And learn our school history, while we're at it.

- Wow, Dwayne, you really came through. - Yeah, thank me later.

As for now, get in there, get the head and get out of here.

Thanks.

My partner!

I can't thank you enough for your help.

Um, Grandpa, sir,

I have come to respect you in a very short time.

Let me ask you something.

Would you respect yourself if you went in there?

Son, I have a hundred reasons for going in here.

Oh, no.

Grandpa?

Denise.

I know this probably looks like I'm trying to steal this bear head�

but, um, really, what it is that I'm trying to do�

is steal this bear head.

I see.

But I have a great explanation for this.

I really do.

What are you doing down here?

Me? Um� Um�

Actually, I was�

uh� um�

about to do the same thing.

What's so funny?

Nothing.

Uh�

I just always thought that if you ever found me doing something like this,

you'd be furious.

I'm only furious about one thing.

- What? - You got here first.

Why did you want to steal the bear head?

I guess when I was here,

I always wanted to do it.

But I never had the gumption.

I have to tell you something.

You know, when I first heard that you were coming�

well, I was thrilled,

but, well, a little part of me was terrified.

Terrified?

No, not of you, but,

I don't know, of what you might think.

You know?

That I wasn't doing well enough.

I wasn't living up to that Huxtable tradition.

There are many Huxtable traditions.

Some of them we're more proud of than others.

But I don't want you to ever doubt that I'm proud of you,

and I'll always be.

Thanks, Grandpa.
