Grandpa,

are you ready for your walk today?

Yes, indeedy.

Let's take a walk around the park.

Okay, I just love the park.

Look, Grandpa, there's a tree. Say
hello.

Hi, Mr. Tree.

Seemed to be a little stiff today.

And who are all these other little stiff
people around you, Grandpa?

This is Grandma.

This is Dad. Here's their son,
television, and their daughter, radio.

Their son, television, and their
daughter, radio?

Yes. Television and radio closed.

in a Super Bowl?

Cliff, would you pick up, please? It's
Mrs. McGee, Rudy's teacher.

Oh. Oh, Mrs. McGee, how are you?

Oh, good afternoon, Dr.

Huxtable. Good afternoon, Mrs. McGee.
Usually when you call, Rudy's in some

of trouble.

Well, doctor, I'm not calling you to
tell you how much I miss you.

His class was given a project to do on
life in the 1920s. Well, Rudy's

assignment is to perform a dance from
that period.

Now, George Thompson is a classmate of
Rudy, and he's an excellent dancer. He

takes it all very seriously, and I've
seen him. He's absolutely marvelous. But

Rudy is very talented as well, so I
paired them off as a team to do a little

routine for the presentation Friday
night.

How's Rudy doing?

Rudy is doing nothing.

Maybe since George is such a great
dancer, it isn't a good idea to make

partner. Dr. Hushwell, that is
absolutely ridiculous.

A more experienced dancer, but Rudy is a
very talented little girl. If she

applies herself and works hard, she
could dance every bit as good as George

Thompson any day of the week.

Mrs. Huxtable, you understand what I'm
trying to say, don't you?

Absolutely, I understand everything
you're saying. Well, would you do me a

if you have a moment and explain it to
your husband?

And once again, Mrs. Huxtable, thank you
very much. Goodbye, Dr. Huxtable.

Cliff? Yes, dear? We should talk to Rudy
right away.

Rudy!

Rudy, come downstairs!

single day she has walked through that
door and i've asked her how did you

rehearsal school she says fine now see
you think that i would know better by

you think i would know by now that if
one of our children tells me fine what

that really means is i'm going to tell
mom anything i have to as long as she

doesn't check up on me sit down

we just got a call from

mrs mcgee does this have anything to do
with dancing it has everything to do

with dancing But, Mom, it's not fair.

George Thompson's been taking dance
lessons for five years.

I can't dance like him.

Mrs. McGee seems to think you'd do a lot
better if you just practiced.

I'd have to practice forever to get as
good as he is.

And we have to do this by Friday. So let
me get this straight. Your logic is,

rather than practice with somebody who
is good, you'd rather just wait until

performance and then stand there and
really look interesting.

Guess what?

You will be taking every extra class
that Mr.

Sims can give you from now until next
Friday.

Oh, man.

I should have known when you spent $36
on taxis you were going to make me

suffer.

We went to Magic Island?

Yes, you, me, and the Wilsons.

Who are the Wilsons?

Yeah, two of them. They're right here.

This is Grandma.

This is Dad.

Here's the Sun Television.

And they got a radio.

Oh.

Okay, well.

Hi, Wilsons.

Happy to meet you.

Don't you want to play with us?

Actually, I came to talk to Dad.

Grandpa. That's not Grandpa. That's
Grandma.

Oh, sorry.

Wouldn't it be easier to tell them apart
if you painted faces on them?

Why nobody has to paint your face to
know who you are.

Okay.

That's what you call eating. Come on.
Okay,

I'm eating.

Chocolate clouds are my favorite.

Yummy, yummy. Give me more.

How you doing?

I'm eating chocolate clouds. Oh, yeah?

Dad, I didn't come just to eat chocolate
clouds.

I brought my tuition bill. Get the money
from where you're getting the

chocolate.

Oh, hello. Where are you going?

We're going to the mall.

Rudy, you have a dance class scheduled.

You have to be there in an hour. I do?

Mr. Sims has a dance class on Saturday?
We scheduled it especially for you. Now

go upstairs and get your stuff.

Aw, man.

Just when you think things couldn't get
worse.

Sorry, Rudy. Maybe we can go to the mall
next week. Bye, Dad.

Wait, wait. Why is it that all of you
children, if you have a little time off,

go to the mall?

What else is there to do?

You could read a book.

Dad, you are always telling me to read a
book.

Read what book?

What about Ionesco?

Wrote a wonderful play, Rhinoceros.

Dad, I read him in school.

The teacher asked us to identify the
symbolism in it.

Not one kid had a clue.

The biggest drain on a young person's
intellect is discussing old books.

Euripides.

Euripides, who wrote Medea, Electra, and
the Trojan Women?

Yes. I read him, too.

Even the teachers don't understand
Euripides.

But would you tell me what is so
intellectual about wandering up and down

mall? The mall has absolutely nothing to
do with intellect.

Then why are you going to the mall?

For relaxation, I go to the mall and
look in the store windows.

And look for boys.

No doubt about it. But I also go and
meet my friends there.

And look for boys.

No doubt about it. But there's a
bookstore, and sometimes I go in there.

And look for boys.

No doubt about it, Dad. Oh, yes.

What's wrong with looking for boys?

Denise married a boy, Sandra married a
boy, Mom married a boy, or what used to

be a boy.

And someday I hope to be married, too.

But if I don't start meeting boys now, I
could be living here for the rest of my

life.

Good morning.

Look for boys.

Hi, Rudy.

Hi.

Dad, I'm glad you're here.

When you see how bad I am, you'll take
me out of this class before I embarrass

Huxtable Nate. Well, your mother says
just do the best you can, okay?

Don't be sorry.

So this is why I take lessons.

Yep. It's a good place to dance. There's
nothing to break.

So, where's your partner, George?

He's not here yet.

Uh -huh.

Look, I don't think he's that good. I
mean, you're talking about how good

somebody is. I'll teach you a lesson.
Hi.

Hi. Hi,

Rudy.

At least your shoes are better than his.

Now, I'm sure that Miss McGee put you
with somebody.

was great so that you would be even
better.

All right, Rudy and George, let's get
started.

Son, I think you're a little old for
this class.

No, I'm not in the class, sir. I'm her
father. I've come to watch.

Dr. Huxable, I'm Mrs. Mitchell.

I've been putting together a routine for
George and Rudy. Well, thank you for

everything. I appreciate it. You're
welcome.

George and Rudy, you ready to practice?

Yeah, I guess so.

Come on. Well, let's go, then.

Mr. Simmons. Yes. When I'm finished with
them, I'll bring them back, and you can

take a look and see how they're doing.

Can I come?

Sure, sugar. Come on.

Excuse me. I had to get that. I'll be
back.

You better take a look.

Mr. Simms, how much time can you spend
with her until she gets it right? I got

all the time in the world, whatever time
it takes.

Thank you.

Do you think Rudy is ready to do her
dance in school tomorrow?

I hope so. All right.

All right.

The dancers are waiting in the wings.

We are moments away from dancing
dazzlement and Terpsichorean triumphs.

outfit is so fly.

And I'd like to draw your attention to
the headband she is wearing that I

purchased at the mall.

When I grow up, I want to be a famous
tap dancer.

Well, I believe you because I saw your
moves.

And you're becoming a regular little tip
-tap -toe. Well, maybe we should sign

her for some lessons and get her some
tattoos.

No, no, no. Don't spend your money on
that. Then you won't have enough to move

out of this house.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting George
and Rudy.

Hello, Dr.

Huxtable. This is Mrs. McGee.

Ah, Mrs.

McGee. How are you? Just a minute. I'll
get my wife for you. No, no, no, no, no.

I can talk to you. It's not that
important.

I just spoke to Mr.

Sims, and he tells me that Rudy and
George are going to cut quite a rug

I don't know how you handled this
situation with Rudy, but he says he's

on like gangbusters.

Well, thank you. Thank you very, very
much.

Um, did he, uh, tell you that I danced
as well over at his place?

Yes, he did. And he said that in your
heart, you're a true dancer.

Thank you. Thank you very much. Mrs.
Huxtable and I want to thank you for

spirit and your loving care, Rudy.

Oh, well, you're more than welcome. And
I'm very, very proud of her. Goodbye,

Dr. Huxtable. Thank you.

Hey. I've got something for you.

Yeah? You were so good helping Rudy get
through this week, so I thought you

deserved a surprise treat. Really? Guess
what it is. It's some lettuce with raw

barley.

I said a treat.

There's something going to fall on my
head.

Come on, you're not going to yank this
away from me, are you? No. Huh?

No. This is it for me? That's for you.

Where have you been all my life?

I love you.

Miss Rudy, we are so proud of you.

Oh,

Mr. Sims told me to tell you you can
come back to the class whenever you

He wants to do another challenge.

No, no, no more challenge.

You know what?

I will go over there.

And you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to challenge him to a face
dance.

Can I see it?

Of course you can. Your father can face
dance.

Now what?
