01x15 - Physician of the Year

Post by bunniefuu »

Clair:
That's It,
You Guys.

I've Asked
And Begged.

Now I'm TellingYou
To Get Dressed.

This Is Impossible.

Trying To Get Four Kids
Dressed To Go Out.

Clair, You Got To Hear
The Opening Part Of My Speech.

I'm Sorry.

I Haven't Even Begun
To Get Myself Ready.

Oh, All Right.

Go Ahead.

Okay.

Here We Go.

"My Distinguished Colleagues,
Hospital Staff

Dr. Wexler,
Community Leaders..."

I Can Do Two Things At Once.

"When I Heard That I Had Been
Voted Physician Of The Year

I Was Deeply Moved."

"...Physician Of The Year,
I Was Deeply Moved."

"They Tell Me I Won By One Vote

Which Makes Me Think That
I Voted For The Right Person."

I Did.

That's Amusing.

Amusing?
That's The Big Joke, Clair.

I'm Sure Everybody's
Going To Like It.

If That Doesn't Get Them,
This Will.

For Me?

Are You Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable,
Physician Of The Year?

Usually They Give This Award
To A Surgeon Or A Cardiologist.

I'm The First Obstetrician.

Yes, I Know.

The First Child I Deliver
After I Get The Award

Gets A Stamp On The Heel
That Says "Special Edition."

When We Come Back, The
Physician Of The Year

Will Have The Night
Of The Year With You.

Vanessa:
Give It Back!

Rudy:
No!

It's Mine.

Denise:
Shut Up, You Guys.

Open This
Door, Rudy.

I Spend % Of The Time On Them
And One Percent On Me.

I Want You To Put In
% Of The Time

To Make The Face
Of The Year.

The Physician Of The Year Will
Handle The Pests Of The Year.

Open This Door, Rudy!

No.

All Right!

This Is w*r!

(Demented Laughter)

Your Mother Has
Given Me Permission

To Cut Loose
On You Guys.

So What's The Problem?

She Took My Brush
And Won't Let Me In.

Stand Over Here.

Rudy!

Yes?

Are You Leaning On This Door?

Yes.

Step Back And Step
Two Paces To The Side.

Big Steps Or
Little Steps?

You're Going To Eat
This Door When I Open It!

That's It, Dad.

That's My Brush.

Give Me My Brush!

Wait!

Come On, Come On,
Come On, Come On.

Theo:
Dad.

Denise Is Hogging The Bathroom.

Use The One
Downstairs.

That's For Guests.

Pretend You
Don't Live Here.

Now, What Is This
All About?

She Took
My Hairbrush.

She Gave It To Me.

Did You?
Yeah.

But She Never Used It

So I Took
It Back.

If You Gave It To Her,
It Belongs To Her.

If You Want The Brush, Ask Her.

But, Dad...

Ask Her!

Rudy, Can I Borrow My Hairbrush?

No.

(In A Sweet Voice)
Rudy, Can I Borrow
Your Hairbrush?

Yes.

Thank You.

Now, You See?

What Did You Learn?

That I Should Have
My Own Room.

While You're At It,
Get Your Own House, Too.

Now, Let's Get Ready.

Come On.

You Still Waiting
For Denise To Come Out?

It's Not Fair, Dad.

Fair?

We Live With Four Women.

We're Lucky There's
A Gas Station On The Corner.

But, Dad, I Wanted
To Shave For Tonight.

Your Face?

Yeah.

Step Into The Light.

Above The Lip
And Below The Chin.

Yeah, Okay.

Above The Lip?

And Where Else?

Below The Chin.

Below The...

Oh, I See It.

Okay, Now Hold Still.

There. Now You
Don't Have To Shave.

I Was Just Joking.

I'm Tickled About This.

My Son's First Shave.

I'm Proud.

It's No Big Deal.

What Do You Mean?

It Is A Big Deal.

You're Not Looking Like
A Mountain Man, But...

Denise!

What?

Come Out.

Don't Come In!

You've Got
A Two-Minute Warning.

Thanks, Dad.

What Will You Use?

I Bought A Disposable Razor.

I've Got Just The Thing For You.

The Traditional Huxtable Razor--

Always Used By The Male
The First Time Shaving.

Dad.

Huh?

I Was Renting My Tuxedo,
And The Guy Said

A Lot Of People Came In
For Your Party.

You're Kidding?

They Talked About
What A Great Doctor You Are

And How You Care About
Your Patients.

I Told Him, To Me

You're
Just Dad.

You Being A Doctor
Was Never A Big Deal.

It Was Your Job.

Yeah.

Talking To
This Guy

Made Me... I Don't Know...
Proud.

All Right.

Okay.

Go Lather Up.

Okay, Dad.

So How's It Going?

Our Son Is Going To Shave
For The First Time.

With That?!

Yes, This Is The Huxtable Razor.

All The Men Use It
The First Time They Shave.

He'll Cut Himself.

That's The Fun Part Of It.

Thank You.

Oh, Daddy, Brigette Stanley's
Having A Party Tonight.

Can I Go After The Banquet?

I Thought We'd Bask In The Glow
Of My Award Afterward.

Where?

Here.

You Know What Will Happen.

The Kids Will Fight

And You'll Complain
That You Ate Too Much

And Fall Asleep On The Couch.

And You Want To Miss All That?

Could I?

We'll Discuss It Later.

Okay.

Good Luck With Whatever You're
Going To Do With Your Hair.

Just Promise Me You Won't
Lose The Razor In That.

I Used Too Much?

No, Sometimes I Use
Three Or Four Cans Myself.

There You Are.

Good Luck.

And Use Long,
Smooth Strokes.

Thanks, Dad.

Go Ahead.

Come On,
You Guys.

We're Going
To Be Late!

Whoa!

Sharp, Huh?

I Think I Finally
Found My Look.

Whoa!
Whoa!

Thank You.

Vanessa:
Can I Have
The Dress

When You've Outgrown It?

You Think About Yourself A Lot.

Is That A "Yes"?

I Like That Bag.

I'm Bringing Extra Clothes
For A Party After The Banquet.

You're Not Putting
My Dress In There?!

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

I Dressed Myself.

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

Well, Thank You.

You Look Fabulous, Too.

You Do, Too, Mommy.

Where's Dad?

On My Way.

Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa!

Do You Like My Back?

All Right, Let Me
Look At All Of You.

This Family Is Too Good-Looking
To Leave This House.

(Ring)

Dr. Huxtable Here.

Hi, How Are You, Mrs. Randall?

How Far Apart Are They?

It Looks Like
The Beginning
Of Labor.

Go Ahead.

I'll Meet You In A Few Minutes.

Now It's Not
What You Think.

It Is This Woman's
First Child

And Her Labor Pains
Are So Far Apart

It's A Good Hours
Before Anything Happens.

I'll Make Her Feel Comfortable.

I'll Get To The Banquet
Before You Miss Me.

Couldn't Doctor Daley
Deliver It?

It's Her First Baby.

And Besides, She's Never Seen Me
In My Tuxedo.

Hi, Doctor.

How Are You,
Mrs. Randall?

You Didn't Have To Dress Up.

He's Being Honored Tonight--
Physician Of The Year.

Physician Of The Year?

At Your Service, Madam.

Are You
Uncomfortable?

Where's Mr. Randall?

On The Road.

Salesman?

No. Power Forward
For The Knicks.

They're In Philadelphia Tonight.

Playing The Sixers, Huh?

That's Too Bad.

He Really Wanted To Be Here.

We Went Through Lamaze.

Perhaps By The Time
The Game Is Over

He Can Drive Here

Before You
Have The Baby.

Is The Game On Tv?

Yeah.

Turn It On,
And Maybe They'll Win...

On His Shot...

From Feet Out...

With Two Seconds Left.

Swish!
Through The Net.

Not Your Husband.

It's Everything
I Thought It Would Be.

I'm Already
Having A Great Time.

(No Audio)

Who's That?

I Don't Know, But They Must
Realize Who We Are.

Here's Our Table.

There Are Only
Five Chairs.

We Need Another
For Dad.

He's Sitting At The Head Table.

Are All These People Doctors?

Most Of Them.

This Is The Place To Get Sick.

Where's Rudy?

Uh-Oh.

My Father's Dr. Huxtable.
I'm Rudy.

I'm Five Years Old,
And I Dressed Myself.

Hello.

Mrs. Huxtable.

Dr. Wexler, How Are You?

Haven't You Forgotten Somebody?

Cliff Stopped At The Hospital.
He'll Be Here Shortly.

This Is Dr. Wexler,
The Hospital Administrator.

I'd Like You To Meet
Our Children.

I Know
All About Them.

Vanessa, Right?

Hello.

Denise, Yes?

Yeah, Hi.

That's Rudy.

That's Theo.

Who Are You, Murray?

Rudy.

You're Rudy.

Your Husband Has
Missed Every Shot So Far.

Even The Time He Tried To Dunk
And Nobody Was With Him

He Missed It.

His Thoughts Must Be With Me.

His Team Wishes
The Rest Of Him Was Here.

Here You Go, Doctor.

I'm Just Looking
At Your Tracings.

Doctor, Can We
Turn The Game Off?

You Wanted To Watch It.

He Just Fouled Out.

Is Everything Okay?

Yeah, Everything's Just Fine.

I'll Just Hang Around For
A Few More Contractions.

But Your Banquet.

I'll Get There In Time.

I'm Making A Speech.
Like To Hear It?

Yeah.

It's Funny, Too.

It's Really Funny.

I Think I Left It At Home.

Don't Go Anywhere.
I'll Be Right Back.

I Told Dad
This Would Happen.

It's Just A Little
Salad Dressing.

This Is Just The First Course.

It Will Get Worse.

Shut Up.

Cliff Has
Nerve--

Leaving Me Alone
With Four Kids.

He'll Get His When
I'm Lawyer Of The Year.

Sweetie, We Need
Some Soap On This.

Come On.

I Think Rudy's
Spoiling Mom's Evening.

You Spoiled Evenings
When You Were Five.

And You Still Do.

There's A Call
For Mrs. Huxtable.

I'll Take It.

Did Theo Mean That?

No, But You Do Get
On People's Nerves.

You Know I Don't Mean To.

Maybe If You Thought
Before You Talked...

I'll Start Doing That.

Except With Theo.

Telephone's In There, Sir.

Thank You.

Hey, Dad.

Hi, Son. Where's Mom?

In The Bathroom With Rudy.
Are You Coming?

I Don't Know.

Mrs. Randall's Further Along
Than I Thought.

I Forgot My Speech.

Somebody's Got To Go Home
And Get It For Me.

Mom Found It In Your Pants.

She Says Whenever We Go Out

She Has To Check After
You And Rudy.

Okay.

How's It Going There?

A Lot Of People?

It's Packed.

What Are They Saying?

"That Cliff Huxtable--
What An Obstetrician"?

Mostly They're Saying

"That Cliff Huxtable--
Where Is He?"

Dr. Huxtable.

Just A Minute.

Mrs. Randall's Contractions Are
Stronger And Closer Together.

I'll Be Right There.

Son?

Yeah.

It Looks Like I Won't Make It.

What Should We Do?

That's Your Father?

Hold On, Dad.

He's At The Hospital.

Let Me Have It.

You Already Won.

What Are You
Trying To Prove?

I'm Working On Next Year.

What Should I Do
With The Award?

Give It To My Son.

You Got It, Coach.

You Take The Award.

No Problem, Dad.

Do Me A Favor.

I Want You To Read
My Speech For Me.

Hello?

Hello? Hello?

Maybe Mom Should
Accept The Award.

Son, I'd Really Like For You To
Read My Speech For Me. Please?

Okay, Dad. I'll Try.

Good. Good Luck, Son.

Thanks, Dad.

Is That
Your Father?

Dad's Not Coming.

He Wants Me To
Read His Speech.

Theo!

What If There Are Doctor Words
I Can't Pronounce?

You Should Read
Your Father's Speech.

I Think You Should.

Dad Won't Know.

If You Want, I Will.

What Did He Say
When He Asked You?

That He'd Really
Like Me To Do It.

Well?

Okay.

Wait. Your Father's Speech
Wasn't The Only Thing He Forgot.

I Would Like Very Much
For You To Go Out There

And Read The Speech As If
You Had Written It Yourself.

Make Me And Your Dad
Very Proud.

Let's Go.

Welcome, Ladies And Gentlemen

To The Annual "Physician Of
The Year Award" Banquet.

Our Honoree Is Not Here.

That's The Chance You Take
When You Select An Obstetrician.

He's At The
Hospital

Delivering A Baby--

Which Shows You The Lengths
He Will Go To To Look Good.

His Dedication To This Hospital
Is So Great

That Whenever Business In
The Maternity Ward Slowed Down

His Wife Came In Pregnant.

Without Further Ado

I Want To Present
The Vera Crockett Award

For The Outstanding Physician
Of The Year

To Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable.

Accepting On His Behalf
Will Be His Son, Rudy Huxtable.

Forgive Me.
Theodore Huxtable.

My Distinguished
Colleagues...

Hospital Staff...

Dr. Wexler...

Community Leaders...

Ladies And Gentlemen.

When I Was Voted
Physician Of The Year

I Was Deeply Moved.

They Say I Won By One Vote

Which Makes Me Think
I Voted For The Right Person.

(Loud Laughter)

All Right.

I Am Very Honored.

A Clair...

I Share This With You.

You Are An Inspiration To Me.

It's Hard To Believe

A Woman Who's Been
So Beautiful So Long

Could Have Been Raised
On Peanut Butter And Jelly.

As A Young Boy,
I Dreamed Of Becoming A Doctor.

People Told Me
I Couldn't Do It

Because It Was Too Hard.

They Were Right About It
Being Hard.

But One Thing Was Tougher
Than All The Others Combined--

Microbiology.

I Hated Microbiology--

But I Had A Choice.

If I Wanted To Become A Doctor,
I Had To Learn It.

I Hope My Children Will Never
Let Anything Stand In The Way
Of Their Dreams.

I Am Honored To Receive

The Vera Crockett Award
As Physician Of The Year.

And I Am Proud To Say

I Work Alongside
These Great Americans.

He Wants All Of Us
To Stand Up And Join Hands.

I Am An American,
And This Is My American Family.

Thank You.

(Baby Crying)

Cliff:
Congratulations, Mrs. Randall.
You Got A Basketball Player.

Mrs. Randall:
It's A Boy?

Cliff:
It's A Girl!
