Tangibility. All right, did you know

Vanessa, what does Q -N -G -H spell?

Nothing. Give me another word.

Vanessa, what does Z -R -B -T -T spell?

Nothing.

Hey, Dad, I'm trying very hard to study
for the spelling test, and she keeps

asking dumb questions.

Well, I don't think anybody asks dumb
questions. What's your problem?

What does Z -R -B -T -T spell?

Z -R -B -T -T.

Uh, Zerbert. Zerbert.

Oh, you know what I think a Zerbert is?
I just remembered.

A Zerbert is this.

over my calendar at work today, and
guess what I discovered?

What's that?

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the day
that you proposed to me. Oh.

Uh,

the what?

The anniversary of the day that you
proposed to me. Well, I proposed to you

lot of times.

Yes, but I'm not counting the times
before you were 15.

I'm counting the time you drove me to
the lake and put the ring on my finger.

Yeah, that was special.

Special event.

Tomorrow night you and I are dining by
candlelight at the Golden Dove.

My wife is taking me out to dinner? Yes.

To the Golden Dove? Yes.

Then I think that the two of us... ought
to be dressed in the finest of the

finest, and that restaurant will never
have seen two such beautiful creatures

their lives.

Don't worry.

Yes. I'll be gorgeous.

Oh.

And I will be gorgeous -er than you.

I am going to stop the people in their
track.

Ha -ha!

And I will be looking so good.

that the man will put me at a table in
the center of the restaurant by myself

and put the spotlight on me.

Ooh, yes.

But when the people look, they're going
to say, who is that smooth, gorgeous

woman sitting next to that pitiful man
in the spotlight?

Are you saying that you are going to
look... smoother than me?

That's what I'm saying.

You lied through your face.

You wish.

How would you like to have a smooth
contest?

You are challenging me to a smooth
contest?

We get dressed, we come down, and we
will be judged to see who is the

okay? By whom?

By our children. You're on.

One thing.

You can only wear...

You cannot go out shopping for something
new. Except for

shoes. You think those shoes are going
to win for you?

Cliff, in this bag are shoes that are so
smooth they could walk down these

stairs and win the contest on their own.

Get up and turn on the television by
yourself. Because I don't want to walk

the TV.

You would rather walk all the way up
here.

I walked all the way up here because my
remote is up here and a beautiful woman.

With her new shoes. Get out.

This is my bedroom, too, you know. I
don't want you to see how smooth the

competition is because I want you to get
your feelings hurt and give up.

You did?

Oh, my God.

Dear, I didn't touch it.

What did you hit?

I hit my... I hit that toe. That toe
next to the little one. Okay, bring it

here. Okay?

Now, just once.

Come on now, put it down.

Okay, now.

Yeah, yeah, come on, come on, look.

See? It's not gonna hurt. See, look.

Just wiggle it.

Come on, wiggle it. I am wiggling it.

No, I mean move it.

Cliff, I'm moving it.

Well, don't get mad at me. I am not mad
at you. I'm mad at me and that stupid

chest.

Everything is fine. Listen, it's really
okay.

You sure? Yeah, I'm sure. I'm going to
walk downstairs. I'm going to put some

ice in this thing and I'll be fine.

Dear, you're not all right.

To the emergency room. Oh, no, Cliff,
this is not an emergency.

Okay, what?

You're going to the emergency room.
Cliff, I don't want to go to the

room. Suppose they tell me it's broken.

If nobody ever tells you it's broken,
and it is broken, how will you know it's

broken?

Much easier if you had the cane, dear.

I don't need the cane, thank you. Okay.

I'll help you with your coat off. That's
quite all right. I can get my coat off

by myself.

I see.

Okay.

Where are we going now, dear? To the
couch. Okay.

Is it broken?

Yep.

It's broken.

Nappo.

Dear, you should keep that thing
elevated. They told you that. Get a

your mother's foot. That's quite all
right, Theo. I can get my pillow for

myself. Thank you.

Listen.

You want to see pictures of your
mother's foot? You have to do that now.

Well, sure.

It's educational.

Come here.

Now, this here,

is what your mother's foot looks like
with the skin off.

Look, look at this right here. See that?
Oh, wait a minute. Uh -huh. That looks

like a hair. That's right.

This is called a hairline fracture of
the proximal phalanx of

the fourth toe.

Understand that?

Put someplace else and leave me alone.

Okay. You want to take her to school,
show her to your friends?

Cliff.

Mom, don't worry.

We'll all pitch in and help out. Thank
you, but I don't need your help. I'm

fine.

That's really dumb.

Dear, dear, where are you going?

I'm going upstairs. I'm going to say
goodnight to the kids and then I'm going

look over a brief for tomorrow.

No, you're not going to work.

Cliff, I don't want to hear another word
about this. I am going to work

tomorrow. I'm going to dinner tomorrow
night, and I'm going to win the smooth

contest. Well, listen, at least take the
cane.

Thank you very much.

Okay. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Now, the only
thing is you got it in the wrong hand.

This is the foot with the toe that is
broken. Why would I put the cane in this

hand? Because you don't walk like that.
See, when people walk, they go this

foot, this hand, this foot, this hand.
This is the way you walk. See? Now, if

you keep it in this hand here, if you do
like this, then you're going to be

walking like this, look like the movie
The Walk of the Drunken Mummy.

Put it in that hand there.

right now when you put that foot down
then this comes down with it boom that's

your support boom all right there you go
now you're cooking all right go ahead

i'm not gonna go ahead with that cane
i'm gonna go upstairs by my

Mr. Barker. Hello.

Miss Kessler will be joining us shortly.

What happened to your foot?

Well, I broke my toe.

How did you do that? Oh, I banged it
against a dumb chest.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Are you
okay?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Won't you sit down?

You're going to be going to trial next
week. I thought we should review the

details of your case. You know I broke
my toe last summer.

Tripped on a sprinkler head. Pain.

I was in agony.

I know what you mean.

You know what really made me mad? They
told me it would take two weeks to heal.

It took nine weeks.

Really? What did they tell you?

Two weeks.

Mine still hurts.

You know, on rainy days, it throbs like
somebody is hitting it with a hammer.

Mr. Barker, we should get started here.

Certainly. Now, on the 15th of October,
I believe... Hello, Mr. Barkley. Hello,

Ms. Gessler. Claire. Hi, Carla.

What happened to your foot?

She broke her toe.

How'd that happen? Ran into a chest.

Claire, that's awful. It's not that bad,
Carla, really. It's just a slight

fracture. They told her it would take
two weeks to heal. I'd say nine.

My cousin broke her toe.

It took 18 weeks.

18? That's terrible.

She was in the grocery store with her
husband. She stopped to look at the

vegetables. He rammed right into her
with a shopping cart.

No. Yeah.

Dropped a 16 -ounce can of green beans
on her.

She still hasn't gotten all the feeling
back.

Yeah, mine still gets numb every once in
a while. You broke your toe? Yeah, last

summer. Never did heal right. It's still
crooked.

My cousin's isn't crooked, but it's
turned up at the end like this.

Mr. Barker and I were beginning to
review his case. Claire, is this toe

be a problem in court? No, I can get
around.

I'd be happy to cover for you. No, I
want Mrs. Huxtable in that courtroom.

Well, thank you for your confidence.

Hey, as far as I'm concerned, that toe
is our ticket.

When the jury sees you out there
hobbling around, forget about it.

yours.

I say play into it. Let them know how
much it hurts.

Maybe we should wrap your foot, too.

Oh,

thank you very much. What happened to
you? I broke my toe.

Don't tell me. You know somebody who
broke their toe, too.

Yes, me. How long did it take you to
heal?

One day.

your information, they fit just fine.

Put it on.

I'll put it on when I feel like it.

What do you want?

Well, I don't want you to have any pain.

So, knowing that you are not going to
use the cane, I bought you these.

And they're ugly.

I'll have you know that all... of the
fashionable women in Paris who have

toes wear these.

They are going to ruin the look of my
entire outfit.

Well, do what you want to do. Doesn't
make any difference to me. But these are

here if you ever need them, okay?

And it doesn't make any difference what
your little feet look like. You're going

to lose the contest. Anyway, that's all
right. You'll want to kiss me sometime

later.

Of course you can come in.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I heard about your broken toes, so I
brought you this.

Oh, it's very lovely.

Yeah, I thought it might come in handy.

It's very thoughtful of you. Thank you.
It belonged to my father. He got it when

he was working on the railroad.

One day at the train station at
Schenectady, a Pullman car came unhooked

started rolling backwards.

And my father saw a small child walking
on the track. He ran over and snatched

him away in the nick of time.

But when he did it, he twisted his knee.

The child's parents were so grateful
they gave my father this cane.

It's from Kenya.

Hand -carved.

He must have been very proud of that.

Oh, yes, he loved to walk around with
this cane because people would ask him

about his injury.

Dad said he didn't like all the
attention, but he did.

Not like some other people. They're just
the opposite.

Now, they want to pretend nothing
happened. They want to keep doing what

always do.

Now, you know, what I'm trying to say is
sometimes you need some help.

You need to lean on someone or
something.

You know, support can be a beautiful
thing.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

It's very nice.

I'd be very proud to use your father's
cane.

Look at that.

Doesn't make me feel better.

You got her to use the cane?

Sure did.

Oh, no, you didn't. I've been trying to
get this woman to do this, Dad, for two

days, and you do it in two minutes?
How'd you do it?

Charm, son.

How did you do it?

I told her it belonged to my father. I
even put a child and a train in the

story.

Where'd you really get it from?

I got it from a little African store on
Flatbush Avenue.

It was on sale.

I'll buy you a grapefruit juice.

The contestants are ready and the smooth
contest shall begin.

Grandpa, you going to vote? No, no, no.
I learned long ago to stay out of family

affairs.

And contestant number two. Yes,

yes, yes.

The winner. And still champion.

Mrs. Claire.

A lovely wrist corset.

Oh, yeah, yeah. For the winner, right?

If I had won, this is what you were
going to put on me, right?

We're going to be late for dinner.

Well, the only reason why I'm going out
with you is because you're paying for

your dinner.

You know what? I think it was the cane
that did it. This thing is great.

You like this? Yeah. This belonged to
your great -grandfather.

He once twisted his knee saving a child
from an oncoming train, and the parents

were so grateful, they bought him this
hand -carved cane.

That was made in Hong Kong.

Come on, dear, let's go to dinner.

Have a good time.

What a perfect evening.

Everything was perfect.

The music, the food, and the company.

Yes, indeed.

You know what I especially liked? What?
I especially enjoyed the part...

Where they came to me with the check,
put it in front of me,

and my wife said, I'm sorry, darling,
but the check goes here.

Did you notice the way everybody was
staring at us when we were dancing?

Oh, yes, because they had never seen
people sit at a table and dance before.

as table dancers. That is correct.

And the people didn't even know that we
were the greatest. And even some of them

tried to table dance.

And now that that is over, I think,
dear, it's

time to talk about the matter of my
apology.

Why are you apologizing to me?

No. You have to apologize to me.

For what?

Because you are paying.

When? Every minute of the last two days.
You wouldn't use your cane. You hopped

up the steps and you stuck your tongue
out on me. I told you not to go to work.

You yelled at me. You owe me an apology.

Oh, crap.

Do. Got the most beautiful little turtle
brown eyes.

You owe me an apology.

And those flecks of gray in your hair
make you look so distinguished and

handsome. You owe me an apology.

I love your ears, especially this one
over here.

You owe me an apology.

Every time I see that little spot right
there, I just want to nibble on it just

like that.

Do you remember the dip?

Mm -hmm.
