06x04 - Denise Kendall: Navy Wife

[bunniefuu]

Denise!

Let's Go!

You Promised Me You'd Be Ready
At Hours.

Just A Minute!

Make Sure You Are

Otherwise I'm Pulling
Your Liberty Card.

That's The Way To Go,
Lieutenant.

So, You're Off
To Rhode Island

To See Your New Housing.

They'll Show Us
Where We'll Be Living

On The Base.

We Come Back Here, Pack Up

Two Weeks,
We're Gone.

Gone, But Not Forgotten.

It'll Be A Relief

Having Three Less People
In Your House.

I Wouldn't Say That...

...Or Would I?

Cliff:
Hey!

Okay, I'm Ready.

Daddy, When Are You
And Denise Coming Back?

Sunday Night,
Miss Goosey-Loosey.

While We're Gone
You Have A Good Time

With Dr. And Mrs. Huxtable.

When We Get Back

We'll Tell You All About
Our New House On The Navy Base.

Well, I'm On My Way
To The Hospital.

All Right.

Can You Do That, Huh?

And You?

No, No Never Mind.

Navy, On The Way!

Hoist The Bilges!

We're Gonna Pull The Car Around.

Denise...

Huh?

Are You All Right?

Yeah, Yeah...

Um, Ma...

Do You Always Tell Dad
When You, Uh...

...Make A Mistake?

Well, It Depends...

If It's Something Important...

Well, I Can't Say That
I Tell Him Everything.

Okay, So What You're Saying Is,
"Use Discretion."

Right.

What've You Done?

Well, Remember When I Got
That Letter From The Navy

Telling Martin And I That
We Got Housing On The Base?

Well Martin
Was At Sea.

It Was My
Responsibility

To Call
And Confirm...

Denise, You Got That Letter
A Month Ago, Honey.

Yeah, I Remembered Today
That I Forgot To Call.

You're Driving Today

When Are You Planning
To Tell Him?

In The Car.

Good Lord.

It's Okay, Mom.

We'll Go Right
To The Housing Office

I'll Explain My Mistake

It'll All Work Out.

You Must Tell Martin
Before You Leave.

You Just Said To Use Discretion.

Use Discretion About
"Honey, I Lost Your Umbrella."

Not, "Honey, We Drove
To Rhode Island

But We Haven't Got A House."

Ready To Go.

Yeah, Denise, You're
Shipping Out.

We Better Hurry,
I'm Double Parked.

Honey, I Want
To Tell You Something.

What?

I Lost Your
Umbrella.

Olivia, What's
The Matter?

I Miss My Daddy And Denise.

Want To Go
Shopping?

Let's Go
To The Toy Store.

I Need Leotards From
The Clothing Store First.

I Need School Supplies
So That's Next.

But I Want To Look At Toys.

Olivia, You Must Understand
Shopping Rules.

What Rules?

You Have To Do What We Want.

Because We're Your Aunts.

You're Not My Aunts.

Aunts Are Old.

You Can't Boss Me Around.

Hi Dad.

You Look b*at.

I Am.

I've Delivered The Same Baby
Five Times.

Well, You'll Have
Peace And Quiet.

Mom's At Grandma's

And We're Going Shopping.

Bless You.

Wait, Who's Gonna
Keep Him Company?

He Likes Being Alone.

But He'll Be Lonely.

No, He Won't.

You Two Go
Shopping.

I'll Stay Here.

Suit Yourself.

Hey!

No, Come Back Here,
Take The Baby With You.

No, You'll Be All Alone
And You'll Cry, I'm Staying.

Bye, Have Fun, Dad.

Well, What Do
We Do Now?

We Nap.

But I'm Not Tired.

I Am.

You Need
To Play A Game.

Daddy Bought This
Before He Left.

Okay.

We'll Play
The Game.

Play The Game,
Play The Game...

All Right, I'll Read
The Directions Here.

All Right, Find The Most
Pairs Of Matching Cards.

Player Makes A Match

If The Two Cards
Turned Picture Side Up

Are Identical.

When The Match Is Made

Player Takes Both Cards.

That Player Then Takes
Another Turn

And Continues Taking Turns
Until He Or She Misses.

Okay.

Let's Go.

Finished, I Win.

What's Next?

But I Didn't Get
To Play.

You Have To Wake Up Early
To b*at Me, Buddy.

I Tell You What We'll
Play Next.

Look At Me,
Look At Me.

Now!

We're Going To Play
A Game Called A Silence.

This Is The Best Game Because
It Requires Great Intelligence

Which I Know You Have.

And, There's No Talking.

The First Person Who Talks
Or Makes A Noise Loses The Game

And It's Really Shameful
If You Lose, Okay.

So When I Say Three
We Zip The Lip

And Please Don't Be The Loser.

Okay.

Three.

Oh, No, Don't---

You Lose!

It's Unusual
We'd Be Waiting To See

The Executive Officer.

Usually You Go To
The Housing Office.

Martin, Maybe There's
A Reason For That.

I Know What It Is.

Because I'm Out Of Annapolis

He Probably Wants To
Give Us Special Treatment.

I Meant To Tell You
This In The Car---

Good Afternoon,
Lieutenant Kendall.

Captain Turvey.

Good Afternoon,
Captain.

This Is My Wife, Denise.

Mrs. Kendall.

Captain.

Please, Be Seated.

Captain, We'd Like
To Thank You

For Taking The Time Out
To See Us Personally.

I Didn't Plan To.

In Fact, I'm Curious Why
You Showed Up At All.

My Wife And I Came
To See Our New House.

We're Moving Here
In Two Weeks.

You Have No Housing
On The Base.

Now Why Are You Here?

That Can't Be.

We Got Your Letter That
We'd Received Housing.

Correct.

That Letter Also Stated
You Were To Call

And Confirm That You Wanted It.

My Wife Did Call
And Confirm, Right?

No, She Didn't.

That's What I Wanted
To Talk To You About

In The Car.

You Didn't Call
And Confirm The Housing?

I Told You That She Didn't.

Pardon Me, Sir, I'm Taken
Completely Off Guard...

Denise, I Asked You!

You Promised!

I Know, I'm Sorry.

Would You Like Me
To Leave You Two Alone?

No, Sir, We'll
Finish This Later.

Captain, Please.

We've Come All The Way
From New York.

Isn't There Anything Available?

There's Nothing.

You Have Nothing.

When You
Don't Respond

You Don't Get Housing.

We Reassigned Your Quarters.

Captain, Is There Anything
I Can Do To Rectify This?

Go Back On The Waiting List
And You Wait.

Can You Give Us Any Indication
Of How Long We'll Have To Wait?

Approximately Six Months.

And This Time When
We Notify You, Respond!

Yes Sir, Thank You
For Your Time, Sir.

Why Are You
Giving Up?

Denise, I Think
We Should Go.

Talk To Him,
He's Reasonable.

Not Many People On The Base

Would Agree
With You, Ma'am.

Sir, Couldn't You Do Something?

This Isn't Just For Me.

Martin Has A Daughter.

She's Four Years Old,
My Step-Daughter.

We're All Living Together
With My Family.

It's A Major
Imposition.

Couldn't You Reconsider

And Find Us Someplace
On The Base?

It Would Be A Shame
Because Of My Stupid Mistake

My Husband Had To
Give Up His Dream.

Mrs. Kendall...

I Commend You On
Your Heartfelt Words.

Lieutenant...

You've Chosen

A Sensitive And Intelligent
Woman As Your Wife.

Thank You, Sir.

So Are We On Base?

No.

And This Is...

My Office.

What Do You Do?

I'm A Doctor For Women.

What Do You Do

With Them?

I Deliver Their Babies.

Deliver?

When The Woman Has The Baby
Inside Of Her

Then I Go In
And I Take It Out.

No, You Don't.

Everybody Knows That
The Stork Brings The Baby.

Who Told You That?

My Daddy.

Okay.

Well, The Stork Puts The Baby

Inside Of The Mother...

And Then I Go In
And I Take It Out.

Nuh-Uh, The Stork Brings
The Baby To The Hospital

Drops It In The Bassinet.

So You Say The Baby
Is Not Inside The Mommy?

Then Why Is It That
The Mother Gets Real Big?

Because She Eats
A Lot Of Food.

Let Me Get
This Straight.

You Say That The Stork
Carries Over

Puts The Baby
In The Bassinet

And The Mother Is Big
Because She Eats A Lot.

You Got It.

I See.

Then Why Is It That The Mother
Has To Go To The Hospital?

The Stork Brings
The Baby To The Hospital

Drops The Baby In The Bassinet

The Mommy Goes To The Hospital

And Gets It.

If The Stork Does All That

Why Doesn't The Stork Just
Bring It To The Mommy's House?

Because It's Too Far,
His Wings Would Get Tired.

Where Does The Stork

Get The Babies From?

Heaven.

Okay.

There's A Zillion-Skillion
Babies

In Heaven.

How Does
The Stork Know

What Baby Goes Where...

What Mother?

They're All In A Line.

You Know Like You Go To
The Bakery And Get A Number?

Why, When I Put My Hand

On The Mother

I Could Feel Things
Moving All Around?

That's Not A Baby.

What Is It?

Gas.

Thank You For Explaining It
To Me.

You're Welcome, But You Still
Didn't Tell Me What You Do?

I'm In Charge Of Gas.

Come On, Martin,
You Haven't

Said A Thing To Me Since We
Left The Captain's Office.

You're Going To Have
To Say Something.

We're Spending An Entire
Weekend Together At That Inn.

Say Something.

Anything.

How...

In The Name

Of All That Is
Reasonable On This Earth

Could You Have Forgotten
To Make That Phone Call?

I Told You Before I Left.

We Would A Receive A Letter

And You Had To Respond
Right Away.

I Couldn't Be Reached
On Board That Ship.

Just One Task.

Just Pick Up A Phone.

Dial A Number.

Say, "Yes, We Want The Housing."

Can You Do That?

Our Whole Future
Just Tossed Overboard

And I'm Just Supposed To
Sit Here And Accept It.

Don't You Have Anything
To Say For Yourself?

This Is Our First Fight.

No, No.

A Fight Is When Two People
Express Opposing Points Of View.

You Have No Point Of View.

Okay!

I'm Sorry This
Whole Thing Happened.

But We're Gonna Have
To Get Past This.

We Can't Move On.

We Have No Place To Move To.

I Know.

You Know, Denise,
Just This Morning

I Was Talking To Your Father

Telling Him We Were Getting
Ready To Move

And He Seemed So Relieved.

This Look Of Peace
Came Over His Face.

Now I Have To Go Back
And Tell That Man

"Dr. Huxtable,
Six More Months."

So Let's Not Go Back
To My Parent's House.

Let's Go To Your Parent's House.

We Can't.

Why Not?

I Never Told You This Before,
But...

My Mother Can't Stand You.

She Thinks You're Just
As Flaky As My Ex-Wife.

Where Would She
Get That Idea?

Hard To Believe, Isn't It?

Oh, Man.

I Am Bushed.

Nine Hours Of Driving
In One Day.

I'm Sorry, Baby.

Let's Just
Go To Bed.

Tomorrow Is A New Day.

Whoa!

How's The House?

Got A View Of The Harbor?

Well, Dad, This Is The Worst
Thing That Could Have Happened

But I Completely--

It's My Fault.

What, Martin?

Denise, Honey, I'm Trying
To Tell Them What Happened.

The Navy Contacted Me
On The Ship

And Told Me I Had To Confirm
The Housing By A Certain Date

And I Just Forgot.

So Then, You Don't Have A Home.

No, Sir.

You Going To Have
To Stay Back Here.

Well, If That's
All Right With You...

Dad.

How Long Is This
Going To Last?

The Executive Officer
Thinks It Will Be

About Six Months.

Dr. Huxtable

I Insist On Paying
You Full Rent.

No, I Don't Want Your Money.

Please, I Insist On Paying Rent.

No, I Can't Take It.

Well, I Tried.

I'm Bushed.

Once Again, I'm Very Sorry.

I've Got To
Get To Bed.

I'm Getting
Something To Drink.

Want Something?

Good-Night, Martin.

Good-Night.

That Was A Pretty Interesting
Story Your Husband Told Us.

I Can't Believe He Took
All The Blame.

I'd Say He Loves You Very Much.

After You And Martin
Left This Afternoon

I Thought Back To Those First
Days After Sondra Was Born.

Your Father Was In
Pre-Med, Wasn't Home

So My Mother Moved In

To Help Me Take Care Of Sondra.

It Was A Good Thing She Did

Because I Really

Didn't Know
A Lot About Babies.

The Day Before My Mother Left,
I Started Getting Very Uneasy.

Your Father Was Going
To Be At School.

I Was Going To Be Left Alone
With A Tiny Life In My Hands.

What Did You Do?

Pretended To Get Sick.

So My Mother Had To Stay
For A Couple Of Days.

Are You Suggesting

I Didn't Call Because I Didn't
Want To Leave With Olivia.

Don't Be Silly,
Of Course Not.

But If You Can Get Anything
At All From My Story

Be My Guest.

I Just Made A Simple Mistake,
That's All.

(Sighing)

All Right, Girl, That's Enough.

You're Not Getting The Message.

How Dense Can You Be?

You Are A Married Woman
With A Child

And You Are Afraid To Leave.

My Husband, Your Father Thinks
You're Never Going.

I Know.

Mom, New People, Strange People

No Friends, No Family...

Navy Life, Me?

I Know, Honey.

But You Can't Stay.

You Gotta Go.

Well...

Can I Ask You
Something Very Important?

Sure.

Know How To Get To
Rhode Island?

Yeah, But I'm Not Stationed
In Rhode Island.

My Family's Stationed
Here In Brooklyn.

I Understand.

But If You Call Me...

I'll Be There.
