Oye, por ahí viene Bill Cosby. Oyele.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, hon. Oh, Tyrone and Aaron. I didn't
get a chance to talk to you after

church. How are you?

Fine.

Have a seat.

Thanks.

Daddy, is it okay if we have a snack
before the movie? Sure, help yourself.

Okay, what do you guys want? We've got
coleslaw, tuna salad, chicken roast

and leftover spaghetti.

All of it? Yeah.

There's still a light bulb left in
there. You want to eat that?

hour and a half before the movie starts.
We need something to hold us over so we

get popcorn.

What are you going to see?

Aaron and I want to see Return Again of
the Lizard People.

But I want to see Forever Summer.

Ew!

What's so good about Lizard People?

It's great entertainment.

I mean, the best part is when the
lizards come and they suck the face off

scientist. But it's okay. He's an evil
scientist.

Well, what is Forever Summer about?

Oh, it's a beautiful love story. These
two 17 -year -old kids meet on a

and go sailing. Then there's this storm
and they're shipwrecked. And for the

rest of the movie, they're trapped alone
on a deserted island together.

Go see the lizards.

Oh, right. Yeah, lizards. Right.

Hey,

I got it. It's for me. It's my date.

Huxtable residence.

Yeah, he's in. Just a second, please.

Hello? Jerry, yes.

Don't be alone.

No, no, no, no. That wasn't my nurse.
That was my daughter.

She's home from college for the weekend.

Yeah.

You want to make the rounds with me?

Sure you can. You're my favorite med
student.

Sure. You meet me at my house.

Okay. See you then, partner. Bye -bye.

How are you?

Hi, Dr. Huxwell. Is Vanessa here?

Yes, yes, yes. He's in the kitchen with
Tyrone and Aaron. Just come on in.

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

Yeah, well, after, you know, Vanessa and
I broke up, I felt it would be best if

I didn't come around for a while. I knew
that the shock of the breakup would be

rough on you and Mrs. Huxwell.

Yes, well, this is very considerate of
you. I want to thank you for giving us

time to get over it.

Where's Mrs. Huxwell?

Mrs. Huxtable? Yeah. She's still at
church. She's doing some committee work.

that's nice.

Yeah.

Dr. Huxtable, do you mind if I sit down?
Go ahead.

You know, from what I've seen, you and
Mrs. Huxtable have a beautiful

relationship. I hope you appreciate it.

Well, yes, we do, and thank you for
being concerned.

I'd love to have a marriage like yours
someday, but I doubt I ever will.

Oh, well, son, how old are you?

Thirteen? Yes. Well, see, first things
first.

Before marriage, I think what's
important is for you to get a job.

You're right, Dr. Exible. But as a great
man once said, a lonely man is only

half a man.

You know, Dr. Exible, I really need
guidance with my life.

What kind of guidance?

See, in the last month,

Debbie McCloud, Stephanie Johnson, and
Amy Gordon all broke up with me.

Because all three found out you were
dating them all at the same time. But I

wasn't. You weren't? No. See, I was
going steady with Debbie, but Stephanie

I made a pact that if she broke up with
Todd and I broke up with Debbie, we

would go steady.

So Todd broke up with Stephanie, and so
I went steady with her until Amy's

party. And after I danced with Amy, I
knew that she was for me. And that was

the best because Stephanie was a
Sagittarius and I was a Libra. And

was surprised when Amy broke up with me
because she's a Capricorn and I'm a

Libra.

We should have been cosmically in sync.

Well, I think you probably threw all the
planets out of sync because you had too

many women.

I needed that laugh. Well, good.

Robert, Vanessa is in the kitchen with
Tyrone and Aaron. Why don't you go on in

and join them? Oh, I'm in no rush. I'd
just as soon stay out here with you and

talk life.

Our planets are in sync.

And I have to go to work.

Oh.

Robert?

Oh, hi, Doctor.

I thought everybody went to the movie.
What are you doing here, son?

Oh, I didn't feel like it. I feel like
doing some dishes.

Are you having trouble at home, son?

No, no, that's not it.

Since your daughter, Dr. Huxwell, I
thought I was over her. But when I saw

with Tyrone and Aaron, it brought back
the pain.

Twice the pain.

I mean, I'm dying inside.

Really? Really.

That's why I stayed behind, to talk to
you.

I wanted to have a dialogue with someone
who would be sensitive to my sorrow.

Can I get you something to drink?

I'm too young.

Apple juice, boys!

Dr. Archibald, you know Vanessa better
than anyone.

I want her back. Could you talk to her?

Sure. When she comes in, I could tell
her, look, Robert's dying inside.

And then if she says I don't want to go
back with him, then I'll put her out of

the house. No, sir, that isn't what I'm
trying to say.

Then what is it you're trying to say?
You got to help me. Now, why don't you

tell her how you feel?

Well, I didn't think I had to.

Really? See, Vanessa and I have always
been in tune with each other. I thought

she'd pick up on my vibrations.

Yeah, well, Robert, I think you need to
stop vibrating so much.

And you have to start communicating.

You're right, Dr. Uxford. You're right.
This is really a big help. I can't thank

you enough for being so generous with
your wisdom.

It's all right.

I want to pay you back. Mm -mm.

Hey,

Robert. Hey.

What are you doing here? Oh, just came
for a visit.

Oh. Well, where's Vanessa?

She went to the movies. I was hanging
out with your dad, but he had to go out

and get some air.

Well, it's good to see you.

Hey.

I've been waiting for you. I need to
talk to you. What's up?

Well, a guy's coming over to take me on
a date, but I've never met him, so I

need your help.

You do?

Yeah, see, he goes to school in Boston,
and some friends that knew him thought

we'd get along perfectly, and we
exchanged phone numbers, and we've been

long distance and everything, but... You
never know, so I want you to meet him

and tell me your opinion.

Well, why?

Once you go out with him, you have your
own opinion.

Yeah, I know, but I might be wrong
because he's going to try and impress

See, but around you, he'll be himself.

You know, maybe I could give you my
opinion, too.

Right.

So, will you do it?

Sure, no problem.

Okay, thanks. Just come upstairs and
give me a report when you're done.

Okay, wait. I don't have to do that.

What? You come down for your date,
right?

Ask me what the weather's gonna be like.
And if I like the guy, I'll give you a

good report.

And if I don't, I'll give you a bad one.

Okay.

When's he coming?

Um, about an hour. All right. Thanks.

Well, we've got an hour.

Time enough for us to have a talk. We
can talk about love and life.

Let's go play basketball.

Well, we can't talk if we're playing
basketball.

I know.

Tuxtable's pocketbook, don't go through
it.

Man, that was a cool jump shot.

It was not as good as mine, but it was
all right.

How you doing?

How you doing?

I'm Theo, Danica's brother, and this is
Robert.

We heard you were coming over.

We really look forward to meeting you.

school, huh?

You got a lot of girls after you, don't
you? No, no, not really. Come on, I bet

you have a couple of girlfriends.

No, I'm not into that. I'm more of a one
-woman man.

See?

Oh, hi.

Hi. When did you get here?

About a couple of minutes ago.

Who are you?

It's me, Denise.

Oh, yeah, I talked to you on the phone.
Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you,

finally. Robert and I have been keeping
him company.

Oh.

Uh, it's kind of cold.

Yeah, but it's clear and beautiful.

Oh, I'm glad.

And I'd say a high -pricing system will
remain in the area throughout the

evening. Oh, thank you, Robert.

Let's go.

Nice meeting you. Have fun. Bye.

Okay, see you later.

Don't sit down. Gosh, it's really nice
to meet you finally face -to -face.

Talking on the phone was getting pretty
expensive.

Oh, it was just a local call.

make lots of local calls.

So, um, gosh, I like the way you dress.

Oh, thanks.

Your dad's upstairs getting me a tie.

Oh, you don't have to wear a tie.

No, your dad said I did.

I believe him. I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. I agreed with him.

You did?

I'd have to say I agree with most of
what your dad said.

You do?

Yeah, he's a great man. I'm just glad
he's willing to teach me everything he

knows.

He is.

Yeah. Hey.

Hey. My lucky tie.

Ew. Yeah. No, you're not going to make
him wear this. Oh, no. It's okay. It's

okay. I'll be proud to wear it. All
right.

Well, let's hit it.

It was nice meeting you, Denise.

Wait a minute. Where are you going?

To the hospital with your dad.

You are?

Yeah. He's going to make the rounds with
me. Oh.

Well, we'll be back in about, well, two,
three hours. Oh, okay.

Okay, see you later. All right, bye. Hit
it. Bye. Bye.

Hello.

Dad, you just left with my date.

What's wrong?

Dad just left with the guy I was
supposed to go out with.

He just walked out with him.

He gave him a tie.

He must have left. I liked them.

Why am I even here? I have nothing to do
tonight now.

Where are you going?

I need some water.

Hi. Hi.

Uh, can I come in?

No, I'm not allowed to open the door for
strangers.

I'm Greg Martinson. I'm Denise's date.

Denise said that you left with my dad.

I couldn't have left. I just got here.

Could I come in?

You're still a stranger.

Can you at least tell Denise that I'm
here?

Okay. Now?

Sure, I'll run.

Thanks.

Denise, Denise!

Yeah? Do you still want to go out on a
date? What?

There's a guy outside at the front door
looking for a date.

Really, cut it out. Don't joke around.

I'm not.

He's waiting for you outside.

Oh, and what does he look like?

Nice.

Nice. Does this nice -looking gentleman
have a name?

Yeah, uh, Greg, uh, Martinson. Greg
Martinson?

Yeah, that's it.

That's the guy who left with Dad.

Oh, he's back.

Ernie, this is not the guy who left with
Dad. He's the one that's looking for a

date.

Hi. Hi.

Are you Denise?

Yeah. I'm Greg Martinson. I believe we
have a date.

I thought Greg Martinson was already
here.

I don't think I was.

I've been talking too long distance.
Yeah.

Look, I have identification.

You're a better person.

Please come in.

Oh, wow, you have to hear this. I don't
even know what happened.

I mean, we've never met before. We've
only talked on the phone.

And I was getting a little nervous. So I
had my brother come down to sit with

you. And he was going to give me a
weather report. And you got a very good

report. I don't even know who he was.

And then my...

gives him a tie and you're here and it's
really nice to meet you great to meet

you i'm sorry gonna have to let me get
over the fact that you were here but my

dad took you away

How are you? Hello.

Nice to meet you.

Oh, this is Robert. No relation.

I'm working on it, though.

Dad, go ahead. Sit down.

Thank you.

Guess this is it, huh?

Yeah, I guess this is it.

What time is your first class tomorrow?

Eleven.

Eleven. How about you?

Nine.

Thanks for everything.

Yeah.

You're lucky I didn't go over there and
stand between both of you.

Well, I had a fabulous time regardless.

Good.

So, Dad, how about you? Did you have a
good time?

Well, Robert and I, we were here
cooking.

Downtown.

Well, good. I'll leave you two alone.

No, don't do that.

Come on, stay and talk.

Say, say, say.

Did you take the dishes out of the
dishwasher?

No. There you go. There you go. There
you go. Downtown.

Downtown.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, honey. How was the movie?

Disgusting.

Aaron and Tyrone say to see it again.

There's someone in the kitchen waiting
to talk to you.

Who?

You mean he's been here all this time?

Yes, indeed.

Is he upset about seeing you with Tyrone
Harris?

He's upset about not seeing you with
him.

Oh. Mm -hmm.

Dad, I can't go in there.

Please go in there.

Because if you don't, this boy is going
to stay in this house for the rest of my

life.

Hi, Robert.

Hi.

Listen, I have something to say to you.

I would like for us to go steady again.

Robert, I'm flattered.

But I don't think that would be right
for us.

Sure it's right. I mean, you and I are
like a bow and arrow. If you take one

away, the other one's useless.

Not if you find another arrow.

You see, I think that you're upset
because three girls broke up with you

month. And you're feeling a little
desperate.

Well, Vanessa, maybe I am. But you know,
a great man once said, even in

desperation... Robert. Yeah? What great
man once said it?

Oh, I don't know. I forgot.

And I don't want to hear it.

But it's a great thing.

If you can't tell me what great man said
it, I'm not going to listen.

What's the difference who said it?
Robert, I'm telling you this as a

You have a problem.

Yes, that you won't go steady with me.
No, that you always go around quoting

these things.

You're 13 years old and you talk like
you're 63.

You're right.

I do.

Now will you take me back?

I'll take you back as my friend.

But I want to go back to being your
boyfriend.

Robert, you once told me that a ship
that sails backwards never sees the

sunrise.

What did I mean by that?

You meant that in life you must always
go forward.

Yes, but I was hoping we could go
forward together.

We will.

As friends.

Okay, I hear what you're saying.

Good. And who knows what the future
holds. Maybe I'll feel differently in

Really, sir?

Yeah. Would you speed things up if I
begged?

Oh, you are looking at one tired dog.

How could you be tired?

I've been up since early this morning,
dear.

Well, you got some sleep.

No, I just had a little nap this
afternoon.

I'm not talking about that little nap
this afternoon. I'm talking about that

long nap this morning in church.

Cliff, I saw you. I was standing up in
the choir singing Wondrous Love. I saw

you. It's a lovely song.

You only heard the first few words, and
then your sorry old eyes closed all up.

Your head fell forward. You pulled it
back. It fell forward again. You pulled

back. It fell forward again. It ended up
inside your jacket.

I woke up in time for Reverend
Willingham's sermon.

Clifton, you want this bed to be struck
by lightning.

I did. All you did was fall asleep in a
different position. I saw you.

Your head was leaning backwards over the
pew. Sorry, little Adam's apple,

sitting up waving at the people.

I think if you paid more attention to
Reverend Willingham's sermon and less

attention to me, you would get more out
of it. Well, I could pay more attention

to the sermon if I didn't have to worry
about you falling over onto one of the

kids and crushing them.

Listen, you don't worry about me. I may
be napping, but whatever I hear stays in

these ears.

And you heard everything this morning.

That is correct. Everything.

Then why is it that when the sermon was
over and everybody else said amen, you

jumped up and said, there you go.

The spirit moved me.

Good night, Cliff.

Good night.

Claire?

Yes? I can't go to sleep.

Now, there you go.

No, I'm just not sleepy now.

Claire? Yes?

Put me to sleep.

I have just what you need. Come here.

Now relax.

Let your feet go.

Are you ready?

What wondrous love is this? Oh,

my soul.

Oh, my soul.

What wondrous love is this? Oh, my soul.

The casting show was taken for a studio
audience.
