06x18 - Rudy's Walk on the Wild Side

[bunniefuu]

(Knocking)

Come In.

Hi, Dad.

Hey, Honey.

How You Doing?

All Right.

So, You Busy?

Well, Sort Of.

What Did You Have In Mind?

I Wanted To See

If You Needed Anything.

Sort Of Making A House Call?

Sort Of.

Dad, This Place
Is Crawling With Dust.

Thank You.

How Much?

Only $ .

$ For What?

To Dust Your Office.

What Is It You Want $ For?

There's This Cd I Have To Have.

What Would Happen To You
If You Didn't Get It?

I'd Die.

You Can't Have It.

Dad, It's Only $ .

Clean Out
The Garage.

I'll Give You $ .

Dad, That Place Is A Mess.

But I'll Dust Your Office
For $ . .

Four Dollars.

$ . ?

$ . .

That's Not How You Negotiate.

Don't Tell Me How To Negotiate.

$ . .

You Won't Give Me The Money?

$ . .

My Offer's On The Table.

You Keep Talking,
It Keeps Dropping.

I'd Be Happy
To Dust Your Office For $ .

But I Don't Know Anybody Who
Works For That Kind Of Money.

In , Coal Miners
Earned Cents An Hour.

They Had To
Crawl Down

Into A Small Hole,
Miles In The Dark With A Pick

And They Had To Hack Away--

Water Dripping On Them,
Gas Fumes Coming At Them

Dirt All Over The Face,
No Fresh Air

Bent Over
In A Little Crawl Space--

And Did That All Day Long

And Came Out
With Maybe Seven Dollars.

And From That Seven Dollars

Those Coal Miners Bought Dinner,
Paid The Rent

Made Contributions To Church...

And Had Time And Money Left Over
To Buy Cds For Their Children.

(Radio Playing Dance Music)

Come On, Kenny.

Don't You Want
To Learn This Step?

No Way.

Real Men Don't Dance.

That's Ridiculous.

Lots Of Men Dance.

Besides, I Don't See
Any Real Men.

(Doorbell Buzzing)

Hey, Danielle.

Hi, You Guys.

I Just Bought

The Most Amazing Thing
At Judy's Shirt Shop.

Look.

How Much?

It Was On Sale
For Only Five Dollars.

I Just Have To Have One.

Me, Too.

Let's Go Now.

I Don't Get My Allowance
Until Tomorrow.

That's Too Late.

They Only Have Two Left.

Maybe I Can Find
The Money In My Room.

Kim And I Will Save
The Last One.

We'll Wait
For You There.

I'll Get Your Jacket.

And Franny's Going
To Be So Jealous.

We Can't Tell Her
Where We Bought It.

(Dance Music)

You Said "Real Men Don't Dance."

I Was Exercising.

Yeah, Right!

Come On, Kenny.

Come Help Me
Find The Money.

Okay.

I Count $ . .

I'm $ . Short.

I Don't Have Any More Money.

Sell Something.

What?

How About This Raggedy
Old Basketball Poster?

I'll Take It Off Your Hands.

No Way. That's My Autographed
Poster Of Magic Johnson.

I Thought He Looked Familiar.

I'll Give You $ . For It.

My Dad Gave Me That Poster.

A Girl Can't Appreciate This.

You Don't Even Know
His Real First Name.

Earvin.

He's A Point Guard
For The Lakers.

Last Season
He Had A Per-Game Average

Of . Points, . Assists

Well, Everybody Knows That.

But The Poster
Is Still Worth $ . .

How About This Great Saxophone?

It's The Best Thing In My Room.

It's The Poster Or Nothing.

Okay, It's A Deal.

Great!

Wait A Minute.

Hey, Where's My Money?

I Don't Have It Right Now.

But My Brother
Owes Me Three Dollars.

I Need My Money Now.

Why Don't You Borrow It
From Somebody?

I'll Ask My Parents.

Good Choice.
They're Loaded.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Child.

How You Doing?

I Want
To Show You Something.

"A Declaration
Of Financial Independence

For Vanessa Huxtable."

I Figured It's About Time.

Did You Get A Job?

It Doesn't Require Me
To Get A Job.

I Can Spend More Time Studying.

The Average
-Year-Old's Allowance

Is One-Tenth Of One Percent
Of The Average Family Income.

But You And Dad Make More
Than The Average Salary.

So If My Allowance
Were Raised

To One-Tenth
Of One Percent Of That

I Could Be
Financially Independent.

So The Assumption Is
That As Our Child

You Are Entitled
To A Percentage Of Our Income?

Yes!

But It's Your Responsibility
To Clothe And Feed Me.

I Didn't Ask
To Be Born.

That Was Your
And Dad's Decision.

That Was Your Father's Decision.

It's Too Late Now, Mom.

I'm Here, And You
Have To Deal With It.

All Right, I Will.

Your Allowance Will Remain
The Same Until You Get Married

And Then It Will Drop.

I Need A Bigger Allowance.

I'm A Huxtable.

My Friends Expect Me
To Have Money When We Go Out.

You Would Have More Money
If You Were More Responsible.

I'm Very Responsible...

Rudy:
Hey, Mom!

I'm Speaking
With Your Sister.

Excuse Me.

I Suggest You Get A Job
Or Budget Your Allowance

Because I Am Tired
Of Giving Out Extra Money.

Nobody's Getting Any More Money
From Me Today.

Rudy?

Yeah?

You Wanted Something?

Mom, Would Consider An Advance?

How About
An Early Christmas Gift?

Kenny, I Couldn't Get
The Money From My Mom.

I Guess You Can Kiss
That Sweatshirt Good-Bye.

You Sure You Can Give Me
The $ . Later?

My Brother Gets
His Paycheck Tonight.

I Can Get The Money.

Go Ahead.

Okay. See You.

(Doorbell Buzzing)

Clair:
Will Somebody Get That?

I'll Get It, Mom.

Hi, Andy.

Hey, Rudy.

I Got Your Mom's
Dry Cleaning.

Hi, Andy.

Hey, Mrs. Huxtable.

Did You Get
That Spot Out?

We Go Through Great Pains
To Get Rid Of Those Stains.

So You Got It?

We Went Through Pain

But You Still Have A Stain.

But Everything Else
Came Out Beautifully.

Well, Thank You.

Here's Your Exact Change.

Eighteen Dollars
And Cents.

I'll See You Next Week.

Uh, Mrs. Huxtable

I'm Afraid
You're $ . Short.

I Am?

Well, Now...

It Must Have Fallen
On The Floor.

No. Um...

Andy, I Put The Money
Right Here.

Gosh, Andy, I Don't Understand.

I Put $ .
Right Here--

The Exact Change--
And It's Just Not Here.

I'll Get It Next Time
I Come By.

I'm So Organized Usually.

I Don't Know
How This Happened.

That's Okay.

Bye.

Bye.

That Doesn't Make
Any Sense Whatsoever.

Now Where Could That Money
Have Gone?

Oh, I Must Be Losing My Mind.

Come On, Kenny, Quick!

Get In Here
And Be Quiet.

Well, Did You
Get The Money?

I Couldn't Get It All.

How Much
Did You Get?

A Dime.

A Dime?!

That Doesn't Do Me Any Good.

I Need $ . .

You Said Your Brother
Would Give It To You.

He Didn't Have It,
But Don't Worry.

I'll Pay You Friday.

Friday's Going To Be Too Late.

I Need To Pay My Mom Back.

Your Mother Wouldn't Give You
The Money.

She Didn't.

She Left It On The Counter,
So I Took Some.

You Stoleit?!

Shh!

I Didn't Steal It.

I Borrowed It--

Only Because You Said
You Would Pay Me Back.

That's No Reason To Steal.

I Got To Get The Money
Somewhere.

I'll Go To Theo.

You'll Steal From Him?!

I'm Going To Ask Him For It.

I Can't Believe
You Stole That Money.

You Come From
Such A Good Family.

(Laughing)

What Are You Laughing At?

Your Mother Is Upstairs
Tearing The Room Apart

Looking For--

♪ Ta-Da! ♪--

Two Dollars And Cents.

She Is?

Yeah.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Homeboy.

Rudy, Here's The Money
You Wanted.

I Think
It Was $ . .

Rudy:
Um...

I Didn't Want
Any Money.

What Are You Talking About?

You Called Me Up At School

You Told Me
It Was An Emergency...

You Better Take
This Money, Girl.

Theo, I Just Called
To See How You Were Doing.

Rudy, You Begged Me
To Come Over Here.

You Said If You Didn't
Get The Money...

Uh, Now That I Think Of It,
It Was Justine.

You Guys Really Sound Alike.

Here. Sorry.

Well, While I'm Here

I Guess I'll Get
Something To Eat.

Well, You Owe It
To Yourself.

Go On In, Tear It Up.

Make Sure You Eat
Two Dollars And Cents' Worth.

Well, Well, Well,
Well, Well, Well

Well, Well, Well, Well.

There's A Lot Of People
Talking About $ . .

Well, I Should
Be Going...

No, I Think You Better

Sit Back Down Here.

Sit Back Down Here

'Cause We're Talking About
$ . An Awful Lot

And I'm Just Curious
About $ . .

Got Something To Say?

There Was
This Sweatshirt

That I Wanted,
But I Needed The Money.

Kenny Said If I Sold Him
My Magic Johnson Poster

He'd Give Me The $ . .

Well, I Did It.

But Kenny Couldn't Give Me
The Money Right Away.

So I Took Mom's Money
Off Of The Counter.

But It Was Only $ . .

If It Was Only $ . ,
Why Did You Steal It?

If It Was Only$ .

Why Did You Sell The Poster
That I Gave You?

Why Is Your Mother Upstairs
Tearing The Room Apart

And You're Here
Looking Like This?

Why Didn't You Ask Me
For The Money?

You Would Have Said,
"What's It For?"

And I Would Have Said

"It's For A Sweatshirt
That Lights Up."

Then You Would Have Said

"Do You Know How Much
Coal Miners Got Paid In ?"

So You Took Money
From Your Mother Without Asking?

Yes.

I Did It And I'm Sorry.

Okay. Well, Then You Just Have
To Go Tell Your Mother That.

Okay.

Let's Go.

No, No, No.

Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait.

You Got
This Whole Thing...

You And Let's Go Ahead.

Because I Didn't Do
Anything Wrong.

Your Mother Knows
I Didn't Do It.

Your Mother Knows
Everything About Me

From The Day I Was Born.

I Don't Owe Anybody Any Money
And Don't Forget

It's Only $ . .

Make Sure That You Understand
This Also, Young Lady.

That Is Going To Become
Very Important To You

When You Have Children.

Two Dollars And Cents.

Rudy, Teach Me How To Read.

Not Now, Olivia.

But You Promised.

I'm Busy.

But You're Just
Sitting There.

I'm Thinking.

It Doesn't Look Like

You're Thinking To Me.

I'm Thinking Of A Way
To Tell Mom Something.

Is It Something Bad?

No, But Mom Might Think It Is.

Will You Get Into Trouble?

I Don't Know.

But It Wasn't My Fault, Olivia.

Tell Her That.

Why Don't Yougo Upstairs
And Talk To Mom For Me?

Sure. Your Mom Is Nice.

Tell Me What You Did.

I Borrowed Some Money.

That's Not Bad.

She Needed It
To Pay The Cleaners.

Nothing Bad There.

She Left The Money
On The Counter

And Kenny Didn't Pay Me Back,
So I Took The Money.

Sorry, Rudy.

You're On Your Own
With This One.

Okay.

We're Still Friends, Aren't We?

Yeah.

That's Nice.

Mom?

Not Now, Honey.

I'm Trying
To Find Something.

I Know Where The $ . Is.

What?

I Took The Money

And Bought A Sweatshirt
That Lights Up.

Yes!

I Did Not Lose The Money.

I Did Not Lose My Mind.

Yes!

This Is The Best News
I've Had All Day.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Thank You.

You're Welcome.

Bye.

No, You Come Back Here Now.

The Celebration Is Over.

You Watched Me Get Agitated
When I Couldn't Find The Money.

Why Didn't You
Come Forward Then?

I Thought You'd Be Angry
With Me.

Honey, You Saw Me Get Upset.

You Watched Me
Looking For Money

That You Knew Where It Was,
And You Said Nothing?

That's Dishonest.

I'm Sorry I Did It,
And It Won't Happen Again.

I Would Like To See The Shirt
That Caused This Trouble.

Okay.

Tell Me I Can't Remember
Where I Put A Thing.

My Mind Is Organized.

Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.

I Have To Tell You Something
From Rudy.

Oh, Okay.

Come Here.

She Sold
Her Magic Show Poster.

She Wants You
To Meet Kenny

At The Counter
In The Kitchen

So You Can
Borrow Some Money.

What She Did Wasn't Wrong,
But You Thought It Was Wrong

Because Nobody's Right.

Thank You.

Thank You.

Here It Is.

It Has Lights.

Yeah. Watch.

It Doesn't Work.

I Got A Bad Shirt.

So You Got The Shirt
That You Wanted

Even Though The Way
You Went About It

Caused A Lot Of Trouble

And It Doesn't Work.

One Little Sad Fish Eye.

And There's Still
The $ .

Which You Owe Me,
And You Willpay.

But, Rudy, Even If
The Shirt Had Worked

Was It Worth All This?

You Little Thief.

(Doorbell Rings)

Hi, Dr. Huxtable.

Come On In.

I Want To Talk To You.

I Bet It Has Something
To Do With Rudy.

I Bet You It Does.

This Afternoon
My Daughter Wanted To Buy

Some Kind Of Shirt.

I Don't Know What

But She Didn't Have The Money
And She Was Willing To Sell You

A Magic Johnson Poster.

That's Right.

My Brother Says

"When Opportunity Knocks,
Open The Door."

And You Walked Right In.

You Said That Your Brother
Owed You Money

But I Suspect That Your Brother
Doesn't Owe You Any Money.

True Or False?

True. But I Did Ask Him.

He's Broke.

So You Lied
To Get What You Wanted

And Rudy Stole
To Get What She Wanted.

I Know.

She Really Surprised Me.

Okay.

Mrs. Huxtable And I
Are Dealing With Rudy.

However, I Want To Talk To You
About Something That's Important

Because That Is
Mymagic Johnson Poster.

I Know It Meant A Lot To You.

I'll Let You Have It
For Four Dollars.

I Don't Think
You Understand, Ken.

You Didn't Pay For The Poster

Therefore The Poster
Does Not Belong To You.

I Bought It On Credit.

That's The American Way.

The Going Rate

On Credit, All Right,
Is About %.

So On $ . ,
At The End Of The Month

You Would Probably Owe
Something Like $ . .

If You Didn't
Pay Anything On It

As Time Rolled By, Uh,
It Could Go Up As High As $ .

That's The American Way.

I'll Bring It
To You Tomorrow.

Well, No, See

That's What I Wanted
To Talk To You About Also.

We're Talking About
Credit And Money Owed.

There's Another Thing
That's The American Way

And That's Called
"Repossession."

I Know What That Means.

They Come To Your House.

Happens To My Brother
Every Month.
