All language subtitles for The Cosby Show s08e11 Two Is a Crowd

Thank you.

Who is that reading a book in a new
kitchen?

I. I'm reading this Blair Hudler
thriller that you finished last week.

Last Train to Leningrad. Oh, yes. You
will never guess the ending. See, what

happens in the ending... No, I don't
want to guess the ending, darling. I

to read the book.

Okay, enjoy.

Hi. Oh, look who's here.

What? Well, well. We weren't expecting
you. Oh, you know me.

Just being whimsical.

I thought it'd be nice to see my family,
get some studying done in the peace and

quiet of my own home. You know how noisy
and crazy those dorms can get. Yeah,

well, we're glad to have you home. And
how's Daphne?

Oh, fine, fine.

Busy as ever. He had to stay on campus
because it's vehicle maintenance

lube jobs, tire rotations, that kind of
thing. Well, I think I'll get started on

that studying.

Kitchen looks great, guys.

What was that?

That's your daughter. She just came home
for the wimpy of it.

Talking about the peace and quiet of
this home with twin four -year -olds

running around acting crazy and a
kindergartner questioning every move you

teenagers and hordes of friends, not to
mention the married couple that's always

up in your face.

It makes sense to me to study.

You have to leave the countryside of
Pennsylvania.

Come to a place where you can.

Concentrate. New York City.

With the wail of the sirens and the
hooting and the whooping of the

and the desperate cry of eight million
souls saying...

Pray

tell who enters here.

Oh, Kenny, my Kenny.

Hi, Dr. Knoxville. Ms. Knoxville. Well,
now, it's been a while since we've seen

you. I know. I've been busy. Uh -huh. So
have you.

You got it going on here.

Yeah, well, thank you, Kenny. And Rudy's
not home yet, Kenny.

That's okay. I thought I'd wait for her
here.

School yesterday?

Word spread like a brush fire.

Rudy broke up with her alleged
boyfriend.

You're talking about Stanley, the fellow
you chased out of here six weeks ago.

The last time we saw you. That's the
one.

Poor Rudy.

By the way, where's the bereaved?

The what?

The bereaved.

The bereaved is at the mall, Kitty.

Ah, what strength to shop despite the
sorrow.

You know, she might not be back for a
while.

Oh, that's okay. Friends don't bail out.

If you don't mind, I'll stay here till
she gets back and is ready to talk.

Hey, I'll even stay for dinner if I have
to.

Hey, Kenny.

Hi, Vanessa.

Oh, belated congratulations on your
engagement.

Thank you.

Now, don't blow this. I hear he's a
keeper.

Thank you again, Kenny.

Mom, Dad, I'm going to the mall with
Kara. Thought you came home to study,

Vanessa. Well, I felt like I needed to
unwind after my train trip.

I think shopping with Kara is just what
I need.

Well, if you see Rudy, tell her that
Stanley may come and go, but Kenny is

forever.

Will do, Kenny.

Now, Heathcliff, why did you turn your
back when the child said she needed to

unwind from her train trip?

Listen, I have nothing to do with that.
I'm looking at my herb garden in the

window.

Excuse me, Kenny.

Say, uh, Brother Barabbit?

I want you to help me solve a problem
here. Sure, Dr. Duxville. Okay.

Past six weeks, been getting some
strange phone calls.

You don't say.

First of all, calling up with a muffled
voice, asking for Stanley.

And then I say, who is this?

They'd hang up.

Really?

It's a shame how people abuse the phone
system.

Put your hand over your mouth.

Now you say to me, is Stanley there?

Is Stanley there?

No, it's probably that Stanley.

Stanley is calling?

That's right. And asking for himself?
That's right.

So, what page are you on now?

49. Woo, page 49.

So you get to the part yet where Evil
Nora falls off the cliff?

No, but thank you for ruining it for me.

I haven't ruined anything for you. All
I'm saying is when you get to that part,

let me know and we can talk about it.
There will be nothing to talk about. You

just told me that Evil Nora fell off the
cliff and died.

I didn't say that she died.

I said she fell off the cliff.

But...

Maybe she now.

Somebody keeps messing with it.

Oh, how are you? How are you doing?

Oh, hello, Dabney.

Is Vanessa here?

Oh, she was, but she went to the mall
for a couple of hours.

Well, then I'll just go wait for her in
the trunk. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Come on, my man. How are you doing?

Have a sit down there.

Thank you. Have a sit down.

So, I guess you know why I'm here.

No, we don't know why you're here.

Oh, shoot, because neither do I.

I was hoping maybe you could help me
out.

Well, how can we help you, Dabness?

Well, let me explain.

See, earlier this afternoon, after I had
returned from Home Builders Emporium, I

was planning to meet Vanessa at the
house.

I went home, and instead of finding
Vanessa, I found this note tacked on the

bulletin board.

Dear Dabness, life's road sometimes has
turns that are not on one's emotional

map.

And so, I've decided to follow my own
map in order to reflect on the prospects

of our relationship. I don't know how
long I'll be gone. Please don't try to

find me. I'll be in New York City.

I feel the need to return to my roots of
simplicity. Love is always necessary.

What do you think she meant by roots of
simplicity?

I have no idea. I'm trying to figure out
an emotional map.

I don't get it, Dr. Huxtable.

Since receiving your blessing three
weeks ago, our relationship has

reached a new positive level.

Well, I'm sorry, Dabness. We can't help
you. With all respect, Dabness, we make

it a policy not to interfere with our
children's relationship.

And it's a good policy.

It's just not helping me.

I think I'm going to go down to the mall
if you'd like to find out. No, no, son,

don't go down to the mall. There are 62
malls in this

naked city.

Now, the best thing you can do is just
sit down and wait.

She'll be back sooner or later.

Well, if you don't mind me waiting.

No, as a matter of fact, you can go in
the waiting room with Kenny.

And take a look at the remodeled
kitchen.

Huh? Yes, sir. Go ahead.

All right.

Now, all I'm saying is take note of the
fact that evil Nora is

really... A man in a padded suit named
Steve.

Out! Get out!

Listen, Kenny, I want you to meet
Dabness Bricky. This is Vanessa's

Don't you go anywhere. I'll be right
back. I got something for you. Yes, sir.

Welcome to the family. Thank you, Kenny.
Nice to meet you, Kenny. Who are you?

You might say I'm Rudy's confidant and a
general friend of the hospital near and

far.

So, Davins, when's the big day?

Don't know yet.

Wait a minute.

You're engaged and you don't know when
you're getting married?

Sometimes that's just how these things
work, Kenny.

Well, you give me plenty of notice.

I got to get my suit prepped. And if
you're low on ushers, give me a call.

Thanks, Kenny. I'll remember that.

So how long were you dating Vanessa
before you got engaged?

Six months. How long have you been
dating Rudy?

Oh, Davins, we're not dating.

We're best friends.

I'm here to console her since she broke
up with Mr. Wrong.

How considerate of you.

You know, it's tough being a girl's best
friend when she's dating somebody else.

It takes a lot of character.

This is true.

But then again, character can be a
burden.

Yeah, but the good thing is you got the
better relationship.

See, you got Rudy for the long haul.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah. A good relationship is not just
dating and holding hands and kissing.

It's about two people who really mean
something to each other.

All right, I like that.

Listen, Dennis, if you're ever having
trouble with Vanessa, I'm in the book.

Oh, I see you guys making sandwiches,
huh?

Takes a lot of fuel to wait for your
daughter, sir.

You get the liberty of making sandwiches
for you and the couple also, sir. Oh,

thank you very much. I got a little
something for you.

Oh, wow, your tool belt. No, no, no,
that is your tool belt.

Monogram two.

You're in.

Mrs.

Huxtable is reading that book, but she's
hiding in the dining room. You

understand? I want you to take the
sandwich to her. Okay. Wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait.

I want you to go up to her when you give
her the sandwich and you say, Mrs.

Huxtable, Dr.

Huxtable said, consider the words.

Evil Nora spelled backwards.

Aaron live.

What? Go ahead.

Go, go, go, go, go. Consider the word
spelled backwards.

Evil Nora.

Aaron live. Spelled backwards. Evil
Nora, Aaron live.

Spelled backwards.

Evil Nora, Aaron live. There you go.

Here's your sandwich, sir. Oh, thank
you.

Hey!

Hi, Dadner.

Hi, Ness.

I forgot my note. I read your note
several times.

Doesn't mean I got it.

I don't know what could be more clear,
Davnis.

I said we were on different emotional
maps.

Oh, the emotional maps.

Let's break this up into simple pieces.

Did I do something wrong?

Now, you see, I knew you were going to
take this too far.

Vanessa, you left the state.

There's got to be a reason.

Now, did I do something wrong?

One thing in particular was the ice
cream incident.

What ice cream incident?

Come on, Dabness. Last night, we're
sitting in front of the television

ice cream, and I said, think I'll have
another scoop.

And what did you say?

Well, if I recall, I said, not me. I
think I've had enough.

Exactly.

You think I don't know what you meant by
that?

It meant I'd had enough.

What you meant was I had had enough. You
were trying to control my dessert

portions. I mean, soon you'll be trying
to control my entire life.

What? If you thought I was trying to
control your dessert portions, why

you say so last night? Like I said, I
thought I'd had enough, which was what I

meant. Now, what did you mean?

Oh, uh, don't mind me.

I'm just gonna get my sandwich.

He's the keeper.

It's not you.

Okay? It's not me.

It's life. You know, I want it to be a
salad bar.

Salad bar?

Yeah. You know, and right now, it's just
lettuce.

I mean, it might be Boston lettuce or
iceberg lettuce or even romaine lettuce.

But honey, it's still just lettuce.

Vanessa, I sure wish you'd speak
plainly.

But since we're talking in metaphor,
your life is a salad bar.

And nobody told you to park in front of
the lettuce.

In fact, some of us wish you'd move on
down because you're holding the rest of

us up.

Look, Dennis.

I don't want to end up like Denise.

Denise? How did she get here?

That's the point.

She's not here.

She's trailing her husband all across
Asia.

But what kind of life is that?

A great life for Denise and Martin. And
why am I talking about these people?

I've never met them.

Listen, Vanessa, it is not about ice
cream or salad bars or the Pacific Rim.

It's about us.

Let's focus on us.

Oh, I forgot my milk. Kenny, go.

Vanessa, I was wrong.

Oh, honey, I was wrong, too. I'm sorry.

No, no, that's right. That's not what I
meant.

If you remember, I didn't choose you.

You think back.

I told you that I thought it was wrong
to get involved with a student. But you

chose me.

I fell in love with you, Vanessa.

And I've been asking you to make choices
that you are not equipped to make. And

that's wrong.

Yes, it was.

Well, I'm glad that's settled.

No, honey.

It's not settled.

Because now you have to decide whether
or not you want to be married to me.

Of course I want to be married to you.

Okay. When?

I mean, what is it with this when
question?

Isn't it enough I say to you?

It was not the time to ask when,
sweetheart.

Vanessa, why don't you just face the
fact, honey? You were scared.

Scared?

Scared.

Okay.

Okay, maybe I am scared.

But, Dad, that is not wrong, you know? I
am getting married.

Congratulations.

When?

Is that what you want to hear?

Yes, honey, yes.

Because it's the first time you've ever
communicated how you really feel without

drawing a map to your salad bar.

Vanessa, you need to do a lot of
thinking.

I will.

But I need you to be patient with me.
I'm always patient with you.

But I'm not going to chase you anymore.

The next time you run, you better buy a
round -trip ticket.

Deal.

I'll get it.

Good afternoon, Stanley.

Well, I haven't seen you around here in
a while.

Well, I'm here now.

you wish to see who do you think i don't
know maybe you're here to see mrs

oxford because you got legal problems
because you

got medical problems maybe you're just a
paper boy well i'm not the

paper boy but i've got some news

find out who kept hiding your pants at
the gym class?

No, it never bothered me. It was Indian
summer.

Say, Kenny, you ever find out who glued
your locker door shut?

Somebody blew my locker shut?

I didn't know that.

Listen, Finley, there's something I want
to say to you.

I don't stand by and watch my friends
get hurt.

So if your intentions are to yo -yo Rudy
around, I'm here to cut the string.

I just ask you this.

What is wrong with you?

You don't understand friendship? Oh, I
understand friendship. What I don't

understand is you.

But it's becoming clear.

You want to go out with Rudy, don't you?

Stan, Stan, Stan.

You just don't get it.

It's not about dating, holding hands,
kissy face.

It's about two people who mean something
to each other.

And you're not one of them.

You're mad because I...

Stan, Stan, Stan.

You don't know how you're playing.

It's not about competition.

I'm not competing with you over Rudy.

Well, that's good to know.

So when Rudy and I get back together,
there won't be any problems, now will

there? If you and Rudy get back
together.

Well, I have a good feeling we will.

Oh, hi, Kenny.

Hey, old friend.

Oh, hi, Stanley.

Rudy, I wanted to apologize for our
fight.

Don't you think it's a little late for
that?

Yeah. See, I told you.

Rudy, our relationship isn't just about
dating, holding hands, kissy face.

It's about two people who feel something
for each other.

Oh, Stanley.

Hey, hey, hey!

Stanley, I was going out for some frozen
yogurt. Would you like to come?

I'd love to.

Rudy, I'd like you to know something.

Yes, Kenny?

Me and Stanley, we worked out our
differences.

We've become fast friends.

I'm really glad.

Yeah, me too.

So am I. Let's go.

Did you enjoy your lunch?

Better than I enjoyed my book.

Well,

we're all straight.

Good. We appreciate your hospitality.

Next time we come, we won't be using an
emotional map to get you.

Bye, Don. Bye -bye.

Bye, St.

Lee. Be well.

Take care.

See you later.

Thanks again.

Now, tell the truth.

What do you think is going to happen
with those two?

Don't dust off my tuxedo.

Well, whether they marry or not, dadness
is good for Vanessa. He is so down to

earth, probably the only one who can
tunnel through the recesses of her mind.

Yes.

But will he be able to get out?

The farmer and the dale.

The farmer and...

I found this on the shelf, and I thought
I'd read everything that Blair Hudler

had written, but I found The Last Jitney
to Jakarta.

And what's it about?

It's about Jack Davis, of course, who
starts off a rubber plantation.

And he meets a local girl, Chi Lai.

A reformed assassin.

But it's too late, because he's already
in love.

Is she reformed?

Is she local?

Is she a girl?

Or is she Bongri, the half -brother of
the leader of Jakarta who disappeared

mysteriously, who kidnaps Jack Davis in
a...

Yeah, you read that, and when you
finish, you

tell me about him. We'll talk.
