and you zoom in nice and tight on Mom's
face, okay? Got it.

Now we're going to come around here.
Come on, you got it?

Come on down until you end up right
there.

What are you guys doing?

Oh, we're practicing for a social
studies project.

We have to videotape a day on the job
with a parent.

Ah, okay. Well, what do you want me to
say?

Actually, Dad, we figured that a lawyer
would be more interesting than a doctor.

Yep, criminals are more interesting than
babies.

The best video will be shown in front of
the school assembly. The winner gets a

certificate and a trophy.

Just like winning an Academy Award.

Well, don't let me stand in the way of
your winning an Oscar.

Have you spoken to your mother about
this?

She said yes.

Okay.

Get out of the way. How about if I sing?

Olivia, come on. No, no, no, no, no,
Olivia.

I think Dad wants you in the kitchen.

All right.

And then...

What's the matter?

Rudy and Kenny won't let me be in their
video.

Oh, well, join the club. They won't let
me in there either.

And I was all prepared to tell jokes and
be funny.

I can tell jokes better than you.

I beg your pardon?

Your jokes are for old people. My jokes
are for little kids.

Now, if you just sing in another key,
get a lower key. Go on back.

I'll show you what I mean.

down these stairs to face another
grueling day of defending her clients.

Good morning.

Cut,

cut, cut.

Mom, do you think you could do that
differently?

Do what?

We want you to race down the stairs,
grab your briefcase, and shoot out the

like your skirt's on fire.

Well, why would I do that?

Because we're trying to make it
exciting.

Yeah, like the lawyer shows on TV. Why
is it that every time you people have a

video to make, you want me to turn into
Batgirl?

You know, Theo wanted me to hang from a
chandelier.

Vanessa wanted me to somersault through
the kitchen and end up in the firing

pose.

I don't think so, honey.

I'm not Batgirl. I'm not Mrs. Rambo. I
am Mrs. Claire Huxtable, attorney at

Okay, shall we go?

Yes.

Well, I guess asking her to roll over
the hood of the car is out.

This office is perfect.

Looks very official.

That's right. This is where all the
action happens.

My mom is a hot lawyer.

All right, let's meet some criminals.

Yes.

Mr. Parker, Mrs. Huxtable will be with
you in a moment. Thank you.

Hi. Hi.

George.

I told you about my daughter, Rudy, and
her friend, Kenny. Oh, sure.

Have a seat, please. Go ahead, children.

Mrs. Huxtable's first client of the day,
Mr. George Parker.

He may even be a criminal.

Thanks. Thank you. Oh, bye. Have a nice
day.

That was it?

Actually, what you just saw was the end
of a very complicated case.

You see, our client's patent had been
violated.

Now, fortunately, we didn't have to go
to court.

But, Mom, don't you want to go to court?
No offense, Ms. Huxley, but you'll

never be as big as Perry Mason.

We're not going to let anyone gobble you
up.

No.

All right.

Bye.

That was a client trying to avoid a
hostile takeover.

Is that like a kidnapping?

In a way, yeah. Roll tape.

Wait a minute. It all takes place on
paper.

You see, when someone wants to take over
a company, they buy as much stock as

they can so they can control the entire
organization.

Do they use guns?

No.

can be exciting without guns i know but
they help listen i think i have just the

thing that will be of interest to you
too it's called trademark infringement

start your camera and i will explain
trademark infringement in the case of

horndecker versus horndecker you have
two brothers who own a popcorn company

although paul is chairman of the board
Harry refined the recipe

for the popcorn and therefore is
entitled to use of the name.

What a world, huh?

Oh, yeah.

Come in.

Excuse me, am I interrupting?

Oh, no, Steve, not at all.

Rudy and her friend Kenny are making a
video for one of their class projects,

and I'm the subject.

Rudy, you remember Mr. Parnell, one of
our senior partners?

Hello. Hello there. I bet you kids don't
realize how funny law can be.

Roll up.

Now, this is about the Martindale stock
merger.

I heard one that hands down.

But the best part was the defense
counsel's personal appeal to the judge.

And I quote, Your Honor, you restrained
us from issuing stock. You've frozen our

assets. You've stripped us bare.

All we have left is our torts.

deals with damages.

All we have left are our torches.

I'm going to file these papers. Would
you like to film that?

No, thank you.

Okay.

I'll be right back.

Rudy, we're in trouble.

We can kick that trophy goodbye.

The trophy died with the short tort
joke.

And I can't believe it.

Oh, I'm telling you, he plows into me,
and then he takes off at 90 miles an

hour. Well, naturally, I took off after
him.

You remember my daughter, Rudy. Oh, hi.
This is her friend, Kenny. Kenny, could

you in have a seat, please? Thank you.

Anyway.

I follow him for 15 blocks.

I'm chasing him. I finally catch up to
him when he crashes into a fire hydrant.

Hi.

Water is spouting everywhere.

I jump out, drag him out of the car.

I'm the one with whiplash and he's suing
me for assault.

Oh, that's outrageous.

That's what I think.

I'm not going to stand for this.

And you shouldn't. That's right.

Okay.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

Whoa, congratulations, Mom. That's a
great case.

Oh, Rudy, what are you talking about?
Joanne is my law clerk, honey, not a

client. I know, but she needs your help.
You're gonna defend her, aren't you?

Yeah, that maniac broke her neck and now
he's suing her.

Mom, you gotta defend her. It's a lot
better than the popcorn guys.

But, Rudy, I don't practice that kind of
law. Now, if she wants to go down the

hall to Simmons, I'm sure he'd be more
than happy to represent her.

Why don't you give Simmons the popcorn
guy's case, and you can take Joanne's

case, and we can recreate the crime.

What crime?

You know, when the maniac bashes her
with his car, she chases him and beats

up. Now, wait a minute. We are not going
to recreate any crime.

But, Mom, we've been here all morning,
and we don't have anything.

Now, what do you mean you don't have
anything? You have a lot of interesting

things. What do you have?

Trademark infringement, hostile
takeover. You have stock merger.

But, Mom, none of that has any action in
it. Well, everything doesn't have to

have action, Rudy.

And I am certainly not going to fake
anything to provide a funny sense of

for your video.

Now, would you like to hear about one of
my many action -packed tax evasion

cases?

Fine, Mom.

Good.

I'll get my file.

And I'll be right back.

We're dead.

Yep.

Ooh, darling.

Ooh, darling.

Ooh.

Mm,

chocolate.

Well, how'd the taping go?

Really?

How'd the videotaping go?

Did you put it all together?

What's put together?

Somebody is... Angry with you.

I try not to get the children angry with
me, boys.

I don't care if Rudy's angry with me.

I don't like it when the children get
angry with me.

Oh, they just give you looks.

Makes you kind of frightened.

Makes you feel like you don't want to
sleep at night, you know.

An 11 -year -old angry with you. Come in
your room.

Hit you with an apple or something.

Well, I guess I'll go in and talk to
her.

But I'm not afraid of her.

I just don't want to upset her.

Dad, we're in trouble.

Not we.

I'm not in trouble. Your mother loves
me.

And when a fun one came in, with a car
chase, a broken neck, and all that good

stuff, she gave it away.

We have to turn this in the day after
tomorrow, and we don't have anything.

Well, I'm sorry that you happen to have
two boring parents.

Hello?

Yes, Mr. Arroyo, how far apart are they?

Okay, you guys head for the hospital,
this is it. Yeah, all right. and I'll

you over there. I'm on my way.

Well, I have to go over to the boring
hospital and deliver a boring baby.

Can we come?

Yeah, I'd love to film a baby being
born.

No, no, no, no. You can't go there. You
cannot. You are not allowed in the

delivery room. Can we come anyway?

Look, if you're thinking about taping
something, you shoot the front of the

building and you shoot the waiting room
and that's it.

We'll take it.

Okay, but I'm telling you.

All you'll be able to take is outside of
the hospital and the waiting room. You

understand me? I'll get the car, meet
you around the front.

All right.

Why do you want to go and sit in the
boring waiting room? We're not going to

anything. Are you kidding?

Hospitals are full of action.

Once we get inside, we'll sneak to the
emergency room, and you know what

there. But none of those are my dad's
patients.

Your dad's a doctor. He fixes
everything.

We'll just tell him they're his
patients.

Think of all the good things we can get.

Old Blue, shock him again.

Doctor, you're losing him.

Doctor, stat!

Where's that IV?

Where's the liver?

We're stat -brained. That's the
emergency immediately.

Come on, Rudy, let's get that trophy.

He's gone.

He's gone!

He's gone!

He's back. Wait a minute. Give him his
life.

Oh, man!

So we'll be in labor room four.

Okay, thank you.

My father, Dr.

Huxtable, is about to leave.

Let's watch.

So, how far apart are they? Three
minutes apart.

Three minutes apart. How do you feel,
Julie? Fine, Dr. Huxtable.

I'll be glad when this is over.

All right, honey. Go ahead.

Go ahead.

You too.

In here.

In here.

This... is where the two of you will
wait. You will wait right here.

You understand?

You will wait right here.

Got it.

Absolutely.

Are you ready?

Yeah. But the card's right there.

As soon as he finishes, we'll split up
and scout the place. Meet back here in

minutes and compare injuries. Get the
best stuff.

It's right here. Oh.

Oh, yeah. Now stay put.

We're put.

We're put.

Mr.

Arroyo, how's your wife?

She's due any minute now.

I just have to sign these forms.

Mr. Arroyo, how would you like to
videotape the birth of your baby?

I would, but I don't have a camera.

This for me?

Oh, that's so wonderful of you.

Well, maybe you could do us a favor,
too.

What? Well, my father has never had a
videotape of one of his births. I think

would be a very nice surprise for him.

Oh, you're such thoughtful children. Of
course I'd be glad to help. I'll give

you a copy.

beautiful it was.

Well, just give us the tape and we'll
make copies and we'll get it to you. Oh,

no, no, no, no, no. It will be my
pleasure to make a copy of the tape for

father.

Copy of the tape?

No, no, no. We don't want a copy of the
tape. Where did you get that silly idea

from? Yeah, we don't want it.

You told me you wanted it as a surprise
for Dr.

Huxtable.

I thought that camera looked familiar.

Oh, oh, oh, I ruined it. a surprise.

Why don't you give me that tape since
it's no longer a surprise?

I'll bring you a copy this evening. All
right.

What's the matter with you two?

Why is it that you're willing to take
credit for something you haven't done?

She's the only one who'd know.

That's not true.

You know.

Well, we tried, Kenny.

And we lost.

Well, I better go home.

Yeah.

Hello.

Here is your father's copy of the video.

It's beautiful.

He's a very fine doctor.

That's what everyone says.

No, you don't understand.

Your father is a very special person.

He just doesn't deliver babies.

His job also is to bring hope into the
world.

What a wonderful profession.

Mr. Roy, would you mind saying that one
more time?

What?

Just say what you just said.

I'm not sure what you want me to say,
but I think Dr.

Huxtable has the best job there is, to
bring hope into the world.

baby was shot by Mr. Arroyo because we
weren't allowed in the delivery room.

All right.

Very nice of you two.

We're very proud of both of you. Yeah.

And you see, you did it with your minds.
You stayed within the rules. And look

at that. You won a trophy.

He should have heard my acceptance
speech.

No, you shouldn't have.

Dad, he went on and on.

People started throwing their lunches at
him.

Thank all the little people.

Kenny, you are for little people.

Well, Mr. Arroyo did a nice job, too.
Yes, and of course, I want to thank you

for all the close -ups of the babies.

No close -ups of me at all, just close
-ups of the babies. I mean, what did

do? They just laid there and said, wah,
wah, wah.

I'm the one. More close -ups of your
father next time you steal pictures.
