Post by bunniefuu »

Is Sondra Up?

I Don't Know.

Where Have
You Been?

I Got Two Hoagies
From The White House.

You'll Spoil That Girl.

My Daughter Has Been
At College Working Hard.

She Deserves It.

Aren't Hoagies Your Favorite?

This Is For My Daughter

And This Is For Her Father
Who Loves Her.

We Have A
Problem.

What's The Matter?

Sondra Broke Up With Elvin.

Again? Again?

Again.

I'm Sleeping

And Sondra Is Singing About
Crickets And Dead Flowers.

Something Must
Have Gone Wrong

On Their Date
Last Night.

You Know What
This Means, Clair.

She'll Mope Around
All Weekend.

And She'll Wander
Around The Room

With Those Things On Her Ears

Singing
"The Flowers Have Bloomed

And I Feel So Blue... "

What's Goin' On?

Sondra Broke Up
With Elvin.

Again?

Can I Check Into A Hotel?

We Want You Here To Suffer With Us.

Can I Have This?

Yes, But You Can't Have This.

I Suffer More Than
The Rest Of The Family.

Whenever She Sees Me,
No Matter What I'm Doing

She Says, "You Men!"

Hi!

Stay Away From Sondra.

Why?

She And Elvin Broke Up.

Again?

Can I Have This?

* There Is No Morning Dew

* The Crickets Know
No Love Songs


* And I Feel So Blue.

* The Flowers

* Have
Died


* There Is No

* Morning Dew

* The Crickets
Know No Love Songs


And I Feel
So... *


How Are
You Doing?

Fine.

That's Great.

The Word Is

You And Elvin
Broke Up.

Again.

Do You
Want To Talk?

Not Really.

You Might
Feel Better.

I Don't Want To Feel Better.

The Rest Of The
Family Wants You To.

Now, What Happened?

I Don't
Want To Say.

Here's
What He Did-

I Was Over
At Roberta's.

Elvin Said He Would Stop By
Around : .

I Wait.

No Elvin.

At : , Just As I'm Leaving

He Saunters Up
The Sidewalk

And Says, "Where
Are You Going?"

He's The One
Who's Late.


What Did You Say?

"Where Have You Been?"

What Did He Say?

"Out With
The Guys."

Every Time
He Goes Out

He Expects Me To Wait For Him.

His Plans Are More Important.

Why Do You Keep Going
Back To This Boy?

Dad, Because He's Wonderful.

He's Intelligent.

He Has A Good Sense Of Humor.

We Have A Great Time Together.

When?

When We're Not Fighting.

When Is That?

When He's Not
Out With The Guys.

Since You Have
Broken Up

Take This Opportunity
To Call Somebody Else.

There Is No One Else.

There Is Someone
Intelligent


With A Good
Sense Of Humor.

I Can't Think Of Anyone.

Can't Your Friends
Tell You About Somebody?

There Is This Guy
My Friends Tell Me About.

Call Him.

But Daddy...

Call Him!

But He Goes To Oberlin, In Ohio.

We'll Fly Him In.

He Is From New York.

He May Be Home
This Weekend.

Call Him. Call Him.

I'll Have To
Think About It.

Call This Boy!

Tell Him You're Sorry
You Waited So Long

To Call Him.

Cliff, She Doesn't
Even Know Him.

Just Call
The Boy.

Call Him!

Sondra, Call The Boy.

Please!

Hey, Sondra.

Hi, Theo.

You Men!

Huh?

Couldn't You Leave
A Little For Others?

Just Because You're A Guy

Doesn't Mean The World
Revolves Around You.

Sondra,
I'm Sorry.

You Say
You're Sorry

But You
Don't Mean It.

It's Not Fair.

I Was Having
A Glass Of Milk.

Sondra?

I Was Minding My Own Business.

She Comes In
And Says, "You Men!"

She Says
Because I'm A Guy

I Think The World
Revolves Around Me.

I Say, "I'm Sorry."

I Gave Her The Glass.

She Says,
"You Say You're Sorry

But You Don't Really Mean It."

Why Don't You Go
Outside Of The House

For A While?

You'll Be The Only Man.

I Don't Want

To Leave
You Alone.

I Can
Handle It.

Dad...

Are You Okay?

Yeah, Right.

You Have To Do
Something About Her.

I'm Typing
My Term Paper

And She's Griping
About Elvin.

She Was Gone For A Minute

And She Came Back
Mumbling About Men And Milk.

Okay, Ask Her
To Go Into Our Room

And Mope

And Gripe About Elvin.

Okay,
I'll Try.

Elvin.

How Is Everything Going?

Fine.

What Can I Do For You?

Dr. Huxtable, Can I Come In?

Do You Have To?

I'd Really Like To.

You're Always
Welcome Here, Elvin.

Thank You, Doctor.

Flowers.

For Sondra.

Is She Here?

Yes.

May I See Her?

Sure.

Today?

Elvin, Sit
Down, Please.

Just Sit Down.

Okay.

Elvin...

Yes?

Elvin...

Yes...

You Are Making My House A Wreck.

I Know, Sir.

You Do?

A Brother Cannot
Drink A Glass Of Milk.

I'm Sorry.

Her Baby
Sister

Cannot Express Herself.

That's Very Unfortunate.

It Is My Opinion

That Either You Marry This Girl

And Take Her Out Of This House

Now...

Or Don't Talk To Each Other
Ever Again!

Do You Understand Me?

I Know How You Feel.

Yes, Elvin.

I've Been Inconsiderate
With Sondra.

Yes.

That's Why I Came.

I Want To Apologize.

Again.

Again-

And Tell Her
Things Will Be Different.

Again.

Yeah, Again.

Elvin!

Hello,
Mrs. Huxtable.

Oh!

Elvin Bought
Flowers For Sondra.

Again.

Again.

A Peace Offering.

We Were
Having A Talk.

That's Nice.

I Have To Do
Some Research

But I'll Be Home
For Dinner.

Then I'll Cook.

Will You?

I'd Be Happy.

What Will
You Make?

I Don't Know.

Will It Be Something
I Can Recognize?

I Hope.

Good-Bye,
Elvin.

Good-Bye,
Mrs. Huxtable.

I'll Go
Get Sondra.

Dr. Huxtable?

Your Wife Goes To Work

And You Cook?

Right.

Doesn't It Bother You

That When You Come Home

There's No Hot Meal For You?

Sometimes My Wife Comes Home

And There's No Hot Meal For Her.

What's Your Point?

It Confuses Things
When A Woman Works.

My Mother Works,
And I Don't Like It.

Sometimes When I Come Home

There's Nothing To Eat.

Well...

Are Your Hands Broken?

I Know How To Cook.

Uh-Huh.

But Why Should I

When My Mom's So Good At It?

Dad, Denise
Said I...

Elvin.

Hi, Sondra.

These Are
For You, Sondra.

They're
Beautiful.

They're All Blue

Because That's How I Feel.

These Are
For You.

I'm Not Hungry.

No, Thanks.

I Know You Like Potato Chips.

You Have Them.

You And Elvin Are...
Back Together?

Yes.

Great!

It's Safe
To Come In.

Good!

Hi.

Hi.

I'm Daryl Marchamp.

I'm Picking Up
Sondra.

Come In.

You're Picking Up Sondra?

Yes, Sir.

Sondra Called You Yesterday?

Yes.

Son, Go Up And Get Sondra.

Hi, Daryl
Marchamp.

How Are You?

Come On In.

So You're
At Oberlin?

Yes, Sir.

I'm Just In Town
For Two Days.

What Are You Studying?

I'm Pre-Med.

Pre-Med.

Whoa...

I'll Be Attending Medical School
At Meharry.

In Nashville?

Wonderful Institution.

What's Your Specialty?

I'm Thinking About Radiology.

Oooh...

Well, I Have No Problem
With That.

Good.

Daryl, What Do You Think
About Women Working?

I'm All For It.

My Mother Works.

I Guess You Don't
Get Many Hot Meals

Cooked For You At Home.

We Always Have Hot Meals.

Everybody Takes Turns Cooking.

What Would
Happen

If You Came Home
And There Was No Hot Meal?

I Can Cook For Myself.

Say You Come Home
With The Guys

And There's No Hot Meal.

That Would Be
Inconsiderate.

I Would Call First.

That's What My Father Does
With My Mother.

Is Your Father Shorter
Than Your Mother?

No.

Okay, Okay.

But, Now, How About
If You're Married

And Your Wife Came Home
From Her Career Job

And She Sat Down
Next To You

And She Said,
"Where's My Dinner?

You Better Get It
On This Table Right Now."

You're A Man, Right?

What Would You Do?

I Better Do Some
Pretty Good Cooking.

Sondra!

Sondra!

Coming, Dad.

Hurry Up.

This Is My
Friend, Daryl.

Came To
See You.

Nice To
Meet You.

You, Too.

Dad, I'll Be Home

Right After
The Concert.

You Don't Have
To Hurry Home.

Stay Out There.

Daryl's At Medical
School, Dear.

Oh, Really!

His Specialty Is Going To Be Radiology.

Oh, Great.

Oh, Yeah.

Dad, Where Are
You Going?

I'm Going To Walk You
To The Corner.

Dr. Huxtable, I Have My Car.

I'll Walk You
To The Car.

Dad, That's
Okay.

Need Any
Money?

No, Dr.
Huxtable.

You Don't?

No, Thank You.

He Doesn't Need
Any Money!

Huxtable Residence.

Yeah, Elvin.

No, She's Not Here.

Okay, You'll Be By At P.M.
To Take Her Back To Princeton.

Okay,
Bye-Bye.

Daryl.

Hi, Dr.
Huxtable.

Daryl, I Had A
Wonderful Time.

So Did I.

Take Care.

Hey, What's Your Rush?

Come On In.

I Can Stay
For A Second.

Stay For Dinner.

Dad, Remember,
My Ride Is Coming.

Your Ride Called

And Said He Wouldn't
Be Here Till P.M.

So You'll Stay.

I Don't Want To Impose.

You're Not Imposing.

Have Dinner With
The Huxtable Family.

Okay.

But Only If
I Can Help.

You Cook?

Yes, Dr. Huxtable,
I Told You That.

Aha!

Let's Go.

Maybe We'll Be Done
Before My Ride Comes.

Maybe Then You'll
Have A New Ride.

...Leather
Bucket Seats.

Corinthian
Leather?

Yes!

Let's Have
Dessert.

Kids, Please
Clear The Table.

I'll Help.

No, Daryl,
Come With Me.

Okay.

No, You Stay.

Dr. Huxtable,
Thank You.

You Have A
Terrific Family.

Daryl, You're
Failing.

Failing?

With Sondra.

Move Faster.

Excuse Me?

You're Supposed
To Talk To Sondra.

You Like Her, Don't You?

Well, From What I've Known
Of Her The Last Five Hours

She's Wonderful-

Very Bright, Attractive.

Then Tell Her That.

It's A Little
Awkward.

This Is Our
First Date.

The Family Has Been Around.

It's Really Not My Style.

I'm A Slow Mover.

You Don't Have Time.

Why Not?

Because He's Coming.

Who's Coming?

Elvin!

Who's Elvin?

Elvin's The Fellow
That She Likes.


Oh.

Then Why Am I Here?

Because You're The Fellow
I Like.


You Like Me, Don't You?

Yeah.

I Could Be Your
Father-In-Law.

This Is Moving A Little
Too Fast For Me.

Do You Want To
See Her Again?


Yes.

Does She Have Your Number?

Yes.

Give It To Me.

That's Not
Necessary.

Give It To Me!

Area Code - -

- -

- - - .

That's Right.

Daryl, I Hope You
Like Pound Cake.

I Like
Everything.

We Better
Hurry.

I Have
To Pack.

Sondra?

Yes?

I Think You're Very
Bright And Attractive.

Thank You.

And This Past Day Has
Been Simply Wonderful.

Thank You.

That's It.

Sondra And Daryl.

That's It.

This Is Going
To Work.


How Do You Know?

Because The Boy Is Intelligent.

He's In Pre-Med.

He Loves To Cook.

And He Doesn't Mind
A Woman Having A Career.

What About Elvin?

Elvin?

You Should Hear His Ideas
About Marriage.

Oh, Cliff, He's Only .

He'll Change.

No, No, No, Not Elvin.

Elvin's Tough.

So Were You.

What?

You Were An Elvin.

I Was Not.

When You Were ,
You Used To Strut Around

Point To Me, And Say,
"My Woman."


You Were Pitiful.

Yeah, But I Changed.

Because I Changed You.

But Daryl Doesn't
Have To Change.

He's Got All
The Right Attitudes.


Cliff, Daryl Could Be
A Bushwacker.

Bushwacker?

Yes, A Boy Who Says
All The Right Things

Because He's Waiting
In The Bushes.

Then He'll Jump Out And Say:

"Where's My Dinner
And My Babies?"

Are You Saying That
That Lovely Boy Is A Liar?

I'm Saying Daryl Could Be
An Elvin In Disguise.

Huh?

There Is An Elvin And A Daryl
In Every Man.

You Started Out An Elvin,
And Changed To A Daryl.

Yes, Yes, Okay.

But What If Sondra
Marries Elvin

And He Doesn't
Change?

It's Sondra's Choice.

We Have To Respect It.

Can I Root For Who I Want?

Elvin.

How Are You
Doing, Elvin?

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.

Hello, Elvin.

Is Sondra Ready?

Not Yet.

She'll Be Down Soon.

Would Either Of You
Like Coffee?

Coffee?

Yeah, Coffee.

You're Going
To Get It?

Yes, You're Surprised?

You Do That Kind Of Thing?

What Kind Of Thing?

You Know, Serve.

Serve Whom?

Serve Him.

Oh, Serve Him.

As In, "Serve Your Man"?

Well, Yeah.

Listen, Elvin.

I'm Not Serving
Dr. Huxtable.

Okay.

That Goes On
In A Restaurant.

I'm Bringing Him Coffee

Just Like He Brought Me
Coffee This Morning.

Marriage Is Give And Take.

If You Don't Drop
These Macho Attitudes

You'll Never Have Anybody
Bringing You Anything Ever.


Now, What Would You Like
In Your Coffee?

Maybe I Could Get
You Some Coffee.

Elvin, I Don't Mind
Getting It.

But Thanks For Offering.

Elvin.

Yes, Sir?

When She Brings The Coffee Back

If I Were You,
I Wouldn't Drink It.
