What are you doing?

Ah, the door is gripping when I come
through, so

I'm rehanging it.

Well, don't you think you should call a
carpenter for that?

Why is it that every time I fix
something in this house, I hear the

doom from Claire?

Who says, uh, don't you think you should
call a carpenter? Don't you think you

should call an electrician? Don't you
think you should call a plumber?

Don't you realize, if it had not been
for the effort, my effort, all these

years, this house would have fallen
apart.

And I think that I deserve some credit.
A pat on the back, if you don't mind.

Okay.

So, Denise, do they know that I'm in the
Navy and at sea for weeks at a time?

Uh, well, no, but don't worry about
that. Dad's an old Navy man. He'll

eat that one right up.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

It's not every day a man gets to meet
the parents of the woman he married.

Oh, that's true, but don't worry. I'm
sure they'll love you. Of course. No one

can love you as much as I love you. Oh,
all right.

Well? Well?

Let's go.

There's something else my parents don't
know about you.

You didn't tell them I'm divorced.

Right. Right.

Honey, don't worry.

They'll either accept it or they won't.

Oh, that's a good attitude.

I know. Come on, let's go.

Um, baby?

Um, there's one more thing that they
sort of don't know about you. What?

You. They don't know about you.

I beg your pardon.

I don't know, I just sort of forgot to
tell him I got married.

Denise, I know that you don't think I
have much of a sense of humor, but

testing me on this, right?

No, but you have to admit this is pretty
funny, right?

You are going to let me go in here and
meet two people who don't even know I

exist? And then say, by the way, I'm
married to this guy?

Now, all it needed was a little fine
-tuning.

Just close it up and watch it swing
through.

You just have to wait until the humidity
goes down because this is all swollen,

see? It's going to be fine. Now, look,
if you have a problem, just remember,

just do like this.

Look at you. Girl, you are skinny.

I've got to feed you. Look at you.

Oh.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

What are you doing?

We didn't expect you back from Africa
for another week. Yeah, I know, but a

friend got me on this flight, so I took
it.

Well, why didn't you call us? We could
have picked you up from the airport.

Oh, it's no problem. He dropped me off.

Where's your luggage?

My luggage? Yeah, I... You know, I
wanted to talk to you guys about that.

airline lost their luggage.

No. Was it stolen?

No. Uh, someone's watching it. You
didn't leave your luggage with a

Um, I know this person really well.

So, anyways, where's... Uh, Rudy,
where's Vanessa?

They went to the mall.

Where's Theo?

Moved out.

Praise the Lord.

He found an apartment in the village
with a couple of other students from

Now, where's the luggage? That was
expensive luggage.

No, where is it? I know, the luggage is
fine.

Denise, come here and sit down. Your
father and I need to talk to you. Yes,

yes. We want to talk to you because the
whole time that you were gone, we...

We're thinking and thinking and thinking
about you, and we just want you to

please hear us out, okay?

Well, first of all, we want to tell you
that we are really proud of you for

sticking it out in the rainforests of
Africa. That must have been quite an

experience, and I'm sure that you have
grown a lot from that, and you're

probably thinking about what you're
going to do next with your life. You

as a matter of fact, I want to talk to
you guys about that.

Yes, and I talked to the president of
Hillman, and she said you can come back

any time you want.

Mom, Dad, I'd like to talk to you about
the guy who's watching my luggage.

Come on, no, no, no, we're talking
about... You know what, Dad? Yes?

He's wonderful.

Good, good.

His name is Martin. Fine.

And, um, Dad, he graduated from
Annapolis.

And, um, he's a lieutenant in the Navy.

Oh, boy, Navy man, can't go wrong with
that. You have to bring him by the house

sometime. Yeah, yeah, I'd love to soon.

So I'm talking about... Now, even if you

don't want to go to college... I'm
talking to her about going to college.

Mrs. Huxtable, it's a pleasure to meet
you both. Denise has told me so much

about you.

Sorry, we can't say the same about you.

Mr. Martin, please sit down.

Yes, ma 'am.

So, can I say something?

Especially when you've just heard things
about me that you might find troubling.

What

troubling

things? Well, I'm sure you were
concerned when you heard I was divorced.

You didn't tell them.

Let's just get into that.

Mom, Dad, it's just one of those, you
know, crazy things that happen, you

Martin's life wasn't mature or focused.

He didn't know what she wanted out of
her life.

Her head was all over the place.

So he married you.

I suppose I also have to tell them about
Olivia.

Is that another wife?

My three -year -old daughter.

My new stepdaughter.

Where is she? In the luggage?

No, sir.

She's with my parents now.

Yeah, we can't wait for you to meet her.

Isn't this fantastic?

Kitchen.

Well, forget college.

Forget everything.

Mom, Mama, Mom, she is not prepared.

What is she thinking of? What is going
on in her mind? How is she going to

support a child? Where are they going to
live?

Not here.

of Ruth to your guests is your new son
-in -law. Denise, sit down.

Now, your father and I did not see your
life unfolding in this way.

Look at him.

You have turned this man into an
invalid.

Yes, you.

When you came back from Africa, you were
supposed to go back to college, get a

degree, start a career, then get married
and have a family.

Oh, child, please. Nobody's saying your
way is wrong.

Mom,

Dad, I know the path that I may have
chosen is going to be difficult.

But I don't care. I know it's going to
be okay.

Between Martin and me and Olivia and me,
I know whatever problems come up, our

love will see us through. That's how
strong our love is. Could we please stop

all this love talk for just one minute?

Now, where is this child's mother, and
where are you going to live?

Not here.

Olivia's mom realized that she wasn't
mature enough.

To raise a child so she gave custody to
Martin.

And we're on a waiting list for housing
at Martin's Naval Base in Rhode Island.

And how long is this waiting list?

I don't know. They say we should have a
place to live in a year.

Dad, no, we don't want to live here.

I mean, it would help us out if we could
stay here just for a little while until

we get an apartment.

That way you guys can...

You know, get to know Martin before he
ships out.

He's shipping out?

Yeah, he's leaving next week for three
months.

And you have not yet found an apartment
for you or your stepchild who you will

be raising alone.

Mom, it's going to be okay. I know I can
raise this child.

Maybe I'll go back to college.

because you found love.

My name's Olivia.

Olivia, honey, this is the house where
Denise grew up.

Yeah, I used to come downstairs and play
with all my dolls down here.

Yeah,

there's one down the hall. Do you have
to go?

here I'd like you to meet.

Oh, Martin, she's adorable.

Isn't she, Cliff?

She's too short.

Hi. Hi.

You must be Olivia.

Uh -huh. I'm three and a half.

I'll be four next month.

Well, I hope I get to come to the
birthday party.

You're invited.

Olivia, this is Denise's father. His
name is Dr.

Huxtable. Hi.

And how are you?

I'm fine.

Good. Do you have a job?

No.

Then I guess I can't get any money out
of you.

I have money.

You do?

How much?

I have a lot of it. You can have some if
you want.

No, this is not one of my children.

And you can stay for dinner if you like.

Thank you. All right. But I don't eat...

Yes.

Well, I have bad news for you.

Because there is red meat in ice cream.
No way, Jose!

Olivia, I bet I could find you a nice
bowl of meatless vanilla ice cream.

And I could probably fix a batch of
chocolate chip cookies to go with it.

you like that?

Yes! Daddy, is that okay?

Sure, honey.

Come on.

Come on, we'll help in the kitchen.

Claire. Yes. May I see you for a minute,
please? Yes.

Now, see, this is what I'm talking...
See, you're starting to weaken.

Cliff, the child is adorable. I'm not
talking about whether somebody is

adorable. You have forgotten the master
plan.

And that is, we are supposed to get all
of the children out of the house.

Not let them come back in bringing other
people with them.

Here. I have something you can play with
whenever you want. Thanks.

This is my favorite.

A teddy bear?

Not just any teddy bear. It's Bobo.

Bobo teddy bear.

If you have a problem, tell Bobo. He
understands.

Okay, I will.

You're going to like it here. It's a fun
place to live, if you know what to do.

How will I know what to do?

I'll tell you. For instance, if you want
something from my mom, never do any

whining. What's whining? You know, when
you do this.

Please, please, give me more of that,
please.

That's whining.

Don't do it.

He can be tough.

Never wake him up when he's taking a
nap.

Whenever he's around, start reading a
book. He loves that.

I don't know how to read.

Fake it. You'll score big.

Okay. Now Vanessa just turned 16.

She's getting weird.

Avoid her.

Okay. Any questions?

What did I know about you?

Just do whatever I tell you, and we'll
get along fine.

and I was in a public marketplace and I
just bought some guava juice and then I

turned around and bumped into Martin and
I spilled them all over him. I just

polished these shoes.

Yeah, that sounds like my sister.

We're back!

Hey! Hey, Miss Bugaboo.

Did you have a good time?

with lettuce, bananas, and jam.

Kenny, this is not your house. If you
want a peanut butter sandwich, you're

gonna have to make it yourself.

Yeah, tell him, sis.

I'll just have it with peanut butter.

You're it!

Hey,

Theo! You here again?

Yeah, I came by to visit the niece and
the family. You came by to eat our food.

Well, yeah.

Oh, you're such a good husband.

Well, thank you very much.

I might have to...

Now, what do you think?

I think we need a bigger refrigerator.

Are we going to come back home? Yes.
After Rudy's graduated from college.

Vanessa was in here. Oh, really?

Oh, yeah. Came in to complain there's
too many people in the house and then

demanded to use our bathroom.

Did you tell her to get a job?

Thank you.

Is Denise in bed yet?

Yeah, I think so.

I hope everything is all right over
there.

You're worried?

Yes, I am worried. The child is in a
room across the hall with a man and a

and she's a baby herself. Denise doesn't
know what she's doing, Cliff.

Did you see her at the table? Did you
see her cut that broccoli for Olivia?

Those pieces were way too big.

And when she wasn't looking, I cut that
broccoli myself.

I hope she put enough cover on Olivia.
It's chilly tonight.

Okay, let's go on over, all right?

Thank you.

Now
