Your glasses on?

All right, now the chips are going to be
flying all over the place, so turn your

face away from this.

Turn your faces.

Right.

Well, come up to me when this stuff
flies.

I'm sorry, honey.

I just wanted to see what you guys were
doing out here.

Oh.

Carving initials.

Denise and Sandra have made some hot
chocolate. Wouldn't you like to come

inside? Oh, yes, we would love some hot
chocolate.

Well,

how about you, honey? Come on, come on
inside. No, no, no, no. I've got to cut

this down.

Then I'm staying here with you.

I what?

I'm staying here with you.

Because a woman's place is by her man.

Temple, North Carolina game. It's just
getting ready to start. Oh, no kidding.

That should be great.

Hey, what's up? Where have you been? You
were supposed to help us out there in

the yard. Oh, well, I'm sorry. I slept
right through the alarm. I was up real

late last night. Really?

Studying or Justining?

I was with Justine. Oh!

No, no, no, no, no. Come on, Chell. It
wasn't that.

Justine got this new multi -disc CD
player. So we put in six CDs, listened

music, and just held each other.

And when the CDs ran out, you let go.

No.

Then we talked until the sun came up.

Oh, that's very nice.

Yeah. I mean, things are going so well
between us now. It's like whenever we're

together, the vibes are just powerful.

Wow. I've never seen one of those multi
-disc CD players.

You mean you can actually put six CDs in
them?

Time out, time out, time out. I can't
believe you guys.

I mean, I'm sitting here talking about
Justine and romance, and all you care

about is the CD player?

So what?

You can't say anything to us, man, until
you're in the 100 % club in the first

place.

What's the 100 % club? We are married,
and we love our wives 100%.

Now, until you love your woman 100%, you
can't get in this club.

Justine and I have a wonderful
relationship as it stands. I'm not

married now because I don't want to end
up in the marriage graveyard.

Marriage graveyard?

Yeah, that's where the romance goes to
die.

What are you talking about? I just don't
see the romance with you guys anymore.

And be honest, when was the last time
you gave your wives a long, passionate

kiss? All the time.

when I'm around.

Am I supposed to call you every time I
kiss my wife?

Martin, I was over here the other day
eating. You came back from the store.

hadn't seen Denise all day.

You gave her a little peck on the cheek
and went in the kitchen.

Marriage graveyard.

Theo, I was carrying groceries.

Put the groceries down and kiss the
woman.

And Alvin. Hey, man.

Sandra and I don't live here, so don't
give me any comments about how I romance

my wife.

Elvin, last week I was at your house.
Yeah.

After dinner, we sat down on the couch
to watch a movie. Yeah. You put your

in Sandra's lap. Yeah. And you fell
asleep.

Snoring loudly.

Marriage graveyard. I don't remember
that.

And dad.

No, no, there's no and dad.

I have five children. I don't have to
prove anything to anybody.

Great game.

Yes! Tempo!

Hey, did you see Theo jump up and run
out of here at the final buzzer? Yeah,

goes over to Justine and he gets a
little hugging and kissing and he thinks

romance.

Theo thinks he had a romantic evening
with Justine and those...

Six CDs.

You know, I remember last fall. It was a
beautiful, warm autumn evening.

And Denise and I decided we were going
to take a walk across the Brooklyn

Bridge. Well, by halfway there, she got
too tired. So I picked her up in my

arms, and I carried her the rest of the
way.

By the time I was done, well, I was
tired. Denise looked small, but, hey,

a long walk.

But anyway, we just found a bench and
just looked out over the East River at

moon reflecting on the water.

That's romance, all right. That's
romance.

That was a romantic evening.

Romantic. Without CDs.

Please.

Romance. He don't know about being
romantic. I don't think so.

I'll tell you a romantic moment that
Sandra and I had.

I was studying for an exam and Sandra
was in the room with Winnie and she was

crying and so Sandra was taking care of
it.

I went to bed because I had to get up
early and I started to miss her.

So I took the mattress off of our bed. I
brought it into Winnie's room.

And we put Winnie down between us and
Sandra and I spent like 15 minutes

love songs to her.

And after Winnie went to bed, we kept
singing them to each other.

That is romantic. Don't tell me that I
don't have romance.

Nobody's going to tell you that. I don't
know what year it was.

I remember I worked about six days in a
row delivering babies. And I had about

maybe 12 hours sleep in the six days
time.

But each time I got a chance to go home,
I'd look and Claire just looked spent.

I called her secretary and I said, I
want you to send a dress over.

Her dress.

Shoes, a whole outfit.

to the Carlisle Hotel.

I rented a suite.

Room service came up.

A little champagne, just a taste.

We had champagne, we had lobster, we had
everything.

Stayed overnight.

Limousine drove us home.

Now, is that romance or what?

Well, Dad, I don't mean to put you down,
but, you know, anyone can have

romance if they spend money like that
for it, you know. I mean, Martin and I

our limited resources to create romantic
situations for our wives. I personally

think that that's a higher form of
romance.

I agree.

Now, are the two of you telling me that
I couldn't be as romantic?

If I didn't have the big buck? No. All
I'm saying is that it's been a while

since you've been used to anything else.

Are you busy Saturday night?

No. You busy Saturday evening? No. The
three of us get dressed in tuxedos. We

have dinner here.

Each man, prior to the dinner, will go
out and buy his wife a present.

There you go again. That's buying things
to create romance.

Let me finish.

The present is from the heart, and each
man cannot spend any more than $25,

tax included, on the present.

I like this. Yeah? I like this. Okay.
But how are we going to be able to tell

who's been the most romantic? From the
reaction of our wives. And the winner

will be...

The emperor of romance.

Now, do you agree?

I accept the challenge. All for one, one
for all, and three for five.

There you go.

No,

Jake. Listen to me carefully.

$25 maximum tax included.

Something romantic. for my wife.

Now, don't you have something?

No, Jake!

I don't want an electric can opener.

Now, come up with something. You call me
back.

Hey, Dad. Hey. How you doing, man?

Hey. I hear there's a big dinner
happening here for the wives tonight.

you have Mr. Lamont coming over to cook
it for you. Yes, he's an old friend and

he's returning a favor.

Well, you're welcome for the
inspiration.

Yeah, well, thank you. Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Come here, come here a

second. Let me ask you a question.

What's up?

You're a young man and you have a
girlfriend and no money.

What was the last thing that you can
remember that you gave her?

And when you gave it to her, she just
fell apart. She just peers and just

you and kissed you.

The other day, Justine mentioned that
she was out of subway tokens. Okay. So I

went down, bought her a tin pack of
tokens, wrapped it up in a little

then I gave it to her.

And Dad, she gave me a big old kiss
right there on the subway platform.

But then again, she gives me those kind
of kisses all the time.

Because we're not married.

Yeah, well, you idiot, your mother
doesn't ride the subway.

Hey, Dad.

Now, where have you guys been?

We were shopping.

I bet you were shopping for Denise's
present.

Yes, we were. A very special present.
Denise will love it. How are you coming

along with your gift?

Gift that I have for Mrs. Huxtable.

After everybody sees it, the present you
have in that bag will look like it came

out of that bag.

We will see about that. But right now,
I'm going to go upstairs and hide this.

Uh -huh.

Olivia?

Olivia, come here, dear.

Haven't seen much of you.

Well, well, well, haven't seen that much
of you. You know, everything going. So

you went over to the mall, huh?

That's right.

Nice places you went to? You want to
know what we got Denise, don't you?

Yes.

I'll tell you.

We got Denise.

Would you look at that?

Nasty hangnail.

Can I get these?

Are you going to tell me what the gift
is or not?

I'll give you a hint, but listen
carefully.

A wet moose walks backwards at night.

buzzers, whistles, and sleep.

It makes no sense.

Maybe not, but I know what Denise's
person is, and you don't.

We're getting gifts?

I didn't say that. Oh, yes, you did. I
distinctly heard you say, I bet you

wait to get your gifts.

I was not supposed to say that. Let's
change the subject.

You know, if something's going on that
we don't know about, maybe you should

share it with us. Yeah.

Olivia, women always share secrets.

That's right.

Okay, the $150 gift can only spend $25.

That's what the bet was.

What bet?

Who's the most romantic?

Whoever likes to give the most.

The husband wins.

Wait a minute. The husband's made a bet
to see who could be the most romantic?

Yes.

But you didn't hear that from me.

So that's what this is?

It has nothing to do with us.

It's a bet.

I cannot believe it. I can't believe
we're part of some stupid macho contest.

And where... do they get off spending
only $25?

Your father gives me his gift even if I
love it. I'm going to look like this.

Good, Mom.

Okay, you do that, and as soon as I open
my gift, I think I'll just have to fall

asleep.

You guys.

I think I'm going to go easy on Martin.

Well,

do something a little more delicate.
Something like...

it so good. Not even a board ship.

Well, ladies, this evening is not over
yet. We gentlemen have a surprise for

each and every one of you.

Really, ladies? Did you hear that? A
surprise.

How nice.

Thank you.

Sandra,

darling, I love you.

I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

And I'd like to give you this.

And I hope that it means as much to you
as it means to me.

Oh, excuse me.

I don't know what came over me.

I know you've always wanted a string of
pearls, and since I couldn't afford to

get you that, I thought I'd get you one
pearl, and then...

Add another one to this string every
year of our lives together.

Oh, Elvin.

Oh, honey, I love the thought of that.
Thank you.

you kissed me.

And as I walked back to my ship, I used
this handkerchief to wipe the lipstick

from my lips.

You saved that?

And this... This... is the

flower that you wore on your hair when
we were married on a hill in Africa.

is a time capsule.

Read the inscription.

February 22, 2040.

That's 50 years from now.

When we buy our first home together,
we're going to bury this in the

And 50 years from this date, we're going
to open it together.

Teenage boy, very, very early in his
teens, walked with his

girlfriend.

And they went to the drug store to share
a soda.

And his girlfriend looked at a barrette
made of wood with a

glass stone in it.

Cost about 50 cents.

And she admired that barrette, but the
young teenage boy had no money to

buy it.

However, for tonight's occasion, I was
fortunate.

I called and I called and I found a
collectible store that had

one of these same wooden barrettes with
the glass stone in the

center.

And so...

I feel that it's important for my bride
who admired that barrette to

open it and wear it tonight.

You remember that?

Yes. You called long distance for that
barrette?

Yes. That's very sweet, Cliff.

Thank you.

But I never wanted the barrette.

But what you said... When you looked
and...

Eunice Chantilly wore

that beret. And I said it was tacky.

What I wanted was a green plastic
bracelet, Cliff.

Not that tacky beret.

This.

Yes.
