Denise:
Hey.

♪ Ta-Dah ♪

One Frozen Blueberry Yogurt Pie.

It Looks Good.

Well, It Better.

We Want Cousin Pam
To Feel At Home.

Does She Need That Spoon
To Feel At Home?

No, You May Have It.

Thank You.

Rudy:
I Don't See Why

We Have To Do Anything Special
For Pam.

She's Already Getting
The Best Room In The House.

Rudy.

The Deal Was Supposed To Be

When Vanessa Went To College,
I Was Going To Get My Own Room.

But Before I Can Blink,
Vanessa's Out, Pam's In

And I'm Nowhere.

That Is So Selfish.

Pam's Grandmother Is Sick.

Her Mom's Going To California

To Take Care Of Her.

We Have To Make Her
Feel At Home.

I'll Do My Part.

But I Hope Pam Doesn't
Boss Me Around Too Much.

And Why Would She Do That?

That's What Old People Do.

It's Their Job.

Olivia, Pam Is Only .

Whoa!

She's Older Than I Thought.

Come On, You Guys.

It's Up To Us To Make
Her Feel At Home.

So Let's Get Generous.

Yeah, Rudy, Lighten Up.

Well, Here We Are.

Oh, Man...

Oh, This Is Nice.

This Is Real Nice.

Thank You.

Yes, Nice And Large.

But Not Too Large,
Just The Right Kind Of Large.

Larger Than Our Apartment,
That's For Sure.

Not That Our Apartment's Small,
It's Just Not This Large.

I'm Talking Too Much, Huh?

No, You're Fine.

You Could Take Our Apartment

And Put It In This Living Room.

No, I'm Lying, No.

You Could Take Half
This Living Room

And Put Our Apartment In It.

You Put The Bathroom There,
The Bedroom Right There.

I'm Standing In The Living Room.

Put The Kitchen There--

That's It.

Anyway, My Mom
Said To Say Thank You.

I'll Try To Behave
And Make Her Proud.

I'm Not Worried About You.

I Know Your Mother.

You Have A Big, Beautiful House.

I Hope I Don't Break
Or Scratch Nothing.

Listen, Big Or Small

This Is Your Home
And There's A Lot Of Love In It

And We're Honored And Blessed
To Have You Here.

Thank You.

I Thought I Heard Someone.

Hi, I'm Denise.

And This Is
My Stepdaughter, Olivia.

Are You Going To Boss Me Around?

You Just Made A New Friend.

Come On, Denise.

We're In The Middle
Of Making Dinner.

I'm Rudy.

You're Getting
An Excellent Room.

Rudy, Don't You Have Chores?

Chores Are My Life.

I'm Going To Go
Get Us Some Juice

Why Don't You Sit Down
And Make Yourself Comfortable

And When I Come Back

I'll Take You Upstairs And Show
You Everything You Need To Know.

Look At This.

Let Me Sit Down.

You Must Be Cousin Pam.

What Are You Doing

Sitting Over There
In No-Person's-Land?

Just Sitting.

Don't Want To Be

In Anybody's Way.

You're The First Person
To Sit In That Chair

And Act Like You
Really Enjoy It.

I Bought That Chair So Long Ago

Nobody Wants To Sit In It,
But Now This Is Your Chair.

I Hereby Christen This Chair

Cousin Pam's Chair.

Yes, Indeed.

Enjoy Yourself.

Cousin Pam.

Cousin Cliff.

Well

I Just Want You To Know
That You're Welcome Here.

Thank You.

Can You Scrub Floors?

Well, That's What... Isn't
That Why They Sent You Here?

Nope.

Then You're Worth Nothing.

I Don't Know Why

They Sent You Here.

I Heard About You.

What Did You
Hear About Me?

Come On Over Here.

Everything Here Is Yours.

Please, Please,
Make Yourself At Home.

All Right?

Need Anything,
Just Call On Me.

Mrs. Huxtable--
She's Got Problems Up Here

And I Try To Just,
You Know, Keep Her Intact...

But I'm The One You Want
To Come To All The Time.

I'm The Sane One
Around Here.

All Right?

You Want A sh*t Of Scotch?

I Was Just Checking To See

What Your Drinking Habits
Might Be.

Fresh Apple Juice.

Cliff:
All Right, Good.

We Can Have A Toast Here.

To Cousin Pam Coming Here.

Are You All Right, Dear?

I'm Fine.

Sometimes She Goes Off
Just A Little Bit.

Welcome To The Family.

Welcome To The Family.

Thank You.

Hello, Slide.

Yeah.

Hey, I Miss You Too.

Okay, So Far.

Yeah.

Yeah, They Got Cable.

Hmm?

No, No, Baby.

They Pay For It.

A Party?

Tomorrow?

In The Bronx?

Are We Invited This Time?

I'm Not Going To Meet You
On No Subway Platform.

You Come Pick Me Up.

: ?

Just A Minute.

I Didn't Mean To Butt
In Your Conversation

But We Have A : Curfew.

Whoa, Slide, There's A Little
Hitch In The Giddyup Here.

Curfew's At : .

Yeah.

I Got To Check These People Out
Before I Break It.

I'm Going To Get Back.

Okay, Bye.

You Think If I Ask Real Polite,
They Let Me Go?

To A Party?

In The Bronx?

On A Weekday?

And You Don't Even Know
If You're Invited?

What Are You Doing?

Putting My Name On My Food.

Why?

So Everybody
Will Know It's Mine.

Why?

So Nobody Will Eat It.

Whoo, I Have A Half A Sandwich
Left Over From Lunch.

Should I Put My Name On It?

If You Don't Want Nobody
To Eat It.

Excuse Me.

Uh, Uh, Pardon Me.

Miss Wilma Rudoplh?

Where Are You Going
With The Marker And The Tape?

I'm Going To Write My Name
On My Sandwich.

Why?

I Made That Sandwich

And I Don't Want Anybody
To Take It.

Why? Did You Put Money In It?

No, Peanut Butter And Pickles.

You Got A Peanut Butter
And Pickle Sandwich

And You Want
To Put Your Name On It?

That's The Safest Sandwich
In This House.

Pam Puts Her Name On Her Food.

Maybe That's Because Pam
Doesn't Understand

That The Food In This House
Is For Everyone.

Ooh, I Better Tell Her That.

She Had Some Very Nice Cupcakes.

Just A Minute.

Come, Come, Come,
Come Back Here.

She Had Cupcakes?

(Doorbell Rings)

(Doorbell Rings)

Clair:
Will Somebody Get That.

Slide, What Are
You Doing Here?

I Wanted To See How
They Was Treating You.

They Treat Me Okay.

Whoa, This Is
Living Large, Smooch.

I Might Get
Into The Medical Game Myself.

Don't Act Crazy.

Come Outside.

People Always In
Your Business Around Here.

What Did You Come Here For?

I Got A Way To Make It

To The Party
And For You To Make Your Curfew.

So What's The Plan?

This Man's Got A Car.

I Got A License.

Bam! Let's Get Busy.

You Want Me To Ask Him
For His Car?

I'm A Good Driver.

I Use My Boss's Car
All The Time.

Then Borrow Your Boss's Car.

I Did. For You.

Remember That Time?

You And Shineequa Watkins

Was Going To Wear That Same
Dress To The School Dance.

I Borrowed The Car To Take You
On That Shopping Trip.

I Almost Lost My Job For That.
It's Your Turn Now.

You Better Go To Plan "B."

You Got One?

Yeah, Go Without You.

I Want To Go, But I Can't.

You Don't Want To.

You're Losing Heart.

You Don't Have One.

Making Some Big Deal
Out Of A Party

In The Bronx.

It's Not Just Some Party.

This Is The Final Final.

I'm Not Going To Miss It.

I'm Out Of Here.

Yeah, Right. So Go.

Who Cares?

(Siren Wailing On Tv)

What's Happening?

Half The Army
Just Got Wiped Out

And The President
Still Don't Believe

There's An att*ck
From Outer Space.

When Will He Ever Learn?

Uh-Oh, Here Comes
Ninja Blob Again.

Whoa, It's Big.

You'd Be Big If You
Ate Battle Creek, Michigan.

He Better Watch Out!

Don't Make Friends With It.

Just Run!

Get Out, Run!

Lose The Girl.

She'll Slow You Down.

Girlfriend, How You Supposed
To Run In Them Heels?

(Phone Ringing)

See.

That's Why She'll
Trip And Fall.

Moth Will Eat Her Up
Like Always.

Hello?

There's No Smoochie Here.

That's For Me.

Hello?

Slide Who?

You Want To Apologize Now?

I Don't Want To Hear It.

No, I Don't Want To...

Yes, Slide.

Me, Too.

Mm-Hmm.

Look, I'll Talk To Him
When I Get Ready.

Okay?

Okay, Bye.

Listen To The Girl.

Get Away From There!

Where's Your Dad?

Downstairs In His Office.

(Knocking)

Come In.

Hello, Cousin Cliff.

Come On And Have A Sit-Down.

You Have A Very Nice Office
Here, Sir.

Well, Yeah,
I Feel It's Comfortable.

I Guess Hard Work
Is Its Own Reward.

Mm-Hmm.

Your Family's Lucky To Have
Such A Good Provider.

Mm-Hmm.

Bet Your Patients Are Lucky Too.

Mm-Hmm.

I Mean, Look At You.

Working Late At Night

Checking Out People's Insides
When They Ain't Even Here.

How Much Do You Need?

I Don't Want Any Money.

Don't Lie To Me.

No, I Just Appreciate
What You're Doing For Me.

And..?

And I've Been Thinking About
What You Said

About Us All Being Family.

And..?

And To Clarify
This Sharing Thing.

Exactly What Does That Include?

You Mentioned The Tv.

Right.

And The Phone.

Right.

And The Food And The Car.

Right... No, Not The Car!

The Car.

No, No, No, No.

No, No, No, No, Not The Car.

Let Me Explain...

I've Got This Important
Social Engagement

With Some Of My Homeys...

I Mean,
My Friends

And It's Way Up In The Bronx.

To Get There From Here
Takes Two Trains And A Bus.

I Figured Since Slide...

I Mean Arthur, My Friend

Has A License

And A Distinguished
Driving Record...

Is Any Of This
Making You Change Your Mind?

I Really Don't Think So.

Let Me Explain How I Feel
About Lending My Car

To My Children's Friends.

I Don't.

Now Is There Anything Else
I Can Help You With?

No, Sir.

I See Your Point, Sir.

I Won't Be No Trouble At All.

You Won't Know I'm Around.

Tonight, Come : Or :
In The Morning

You Don't Know Where I Am,
Chill.

I'll Be Safe And Sound
Riding The D Train

Trying To Get
Back Here.

I Don't Think
You'll Have That Problem

Because The Curfew In This House
Is : On...

: ?

Ooh, That's Early.

You See, Sir

This Party Has Been In The Works
For A Long Time.

People Expect Me To Be There.

I'm In Charge
Of Refreshments.

I'm Sure You Can
Make An Exception This One Time.

Here's A Pad And Pencil.

Take Down Some Rules.

: Weekdays Is Curfew.

Midnight On
The Weekends.

Is This Still A Lovely Office?

Want Any Juice?

No, Thanks.

Okay.

(Doorbell Rings)

Hey, Smooch.

Surprise!

Lance, Charmaine,
What Are You Doing?

We Felt Bad
You Couldn't Make It.

We'll Hang With You
Before The Party.

Will You Let Us In.

Okay, For A Minute.

Are Your People Here?

I Told You To Call.

I Told You
I Didn't Have A Quarter.

No, They're Out Visiting.

Lance, What Did I Tell You
About This Place?

Come In, Robin Leach.

Homegirl Done Hooked Up
With The Rich And Famous.

Now This Is
Real Tasteful.

You Got A Lot Of
French Things Here, Right?

Hey, It's A House.

With Rules Like

If You Don't Touch It,
It Won't Break.

Since When You So Hooked
On Rules?

Just Because My Mother Worked

Doesn't Mean
I Didn't Have Rules.

Is It Okay If We Sit Down, Pam?

We Could Just Stand Here
Like We Are.

Okay, Sit Down.

What Is This?

It's A Candy Dish.

Where's The Candy?

They Don't Eat Candy Here.

Then What They Need A Dish For?

They Don't Have To Have Candy.

For People With Money,
A Dish Can Stand On Its Own.

You Going To Offer Us
Something To Drink?

What You Want?

What You Got?

Water.

You All Don't Have
No Cran-Apple Juice?

This Definitely
Look Like A House

That Got Some Cran-Apple Juice
In It.

No, Lance.

And Please Put
That Candy Dish Down.

These Ain't
My Things.

No, They're Not.

I'm Used To Fine Things Myself.

I Know How To Act.

We Know How To Act.

These Huxtable People
Are Too Intense.

Seems To Me Like
They Need More Bran.

Lance, You Too Bad.

So Come To The Party.

Yeah. Stick Some Pillows
Under Your Covers.

They'll Never Know.

Oh, Come On.

You'll Get Her In Trouble.

Don't Worry, Pam.

If He So Much
As Look At Shineequa Watkins

I Promise You I Will Clock Him.

You Didn't Tell Me

Shineequa Watkins
Would Be There.

You Know I Wouldn't
Make A Play For Shineequa.

I Know You Won't.

I'll Be There.

Let's Go.

Good Evening

Cousin Clair, Cousin Cliff.

These Are My Friends

Arthur, Lance
And Charmaine.

They Were Just Leaving.

Looks Like
You Were, Too.

That Party
I Was Talking About...

I Was Going To Pay My Respects
To Some People

And Come Right Back.

It's : .

You're Going Out To The Bronx
And Come Back In An Hour?

How Will You Do That?

The D Train.

It's An Express.

Sure, It Is.

Okay.

The Truth Is,
I Was Going To Break Curfew

And Take My Punishment.

Come Here.

Come On.

How Do You Know
What That Punishment Is?

Did Rudy Tell You About
That Machine In The Basement?

Pam, We Don't Arbitrarily
Break Rules In This House

And Punishment Is A Last Resort,
Not A Choice.

Excuse Me,
Miss Huxtable.

She Didn't Want To Go.

I Talked Her Into It.

You Must Not Be
Much Of A Friend.

Yeah. I Care For Her A Lot.

I Don't Think So.

People You Care For,
You Look After.

It's Not All On Slide.

I Have A Mind Of My Own.

Then You Better
Start Using It.

Guess You Guys
Better Go.

But Before We Go,
I'd Like To Apologize.

We Didn't Mean...

We Didn't Mean
To Get Pam In Trouble.

We Just Get A Little Impetuous.

No Hard Feelings?

Look, Pam, You Cannot
Go To The Party

But Your Friends
Are Welcome To Stay.

You Guys Want To Stay
A Little While?

Okay.
Yeah.

Maybe We Could Offer
Your Friends Some Refreshments?

She Already Did.

She Offered Us Some
Of Your Very Nice Water.

We Can Do Better Than That,
Can't We, Pam?

Y'all Hungry?

I Could Be Cajoled
Into A Snack

If It's Not
Too Much Trouble.

Come On, Cliff.

I Think We Got
Some Cran-Apple Juice.

Hello.

Hey, How You Doing?

Sit Down.

Thank You, Cousin Cliff, For
Making My Friends Feel Welcome.

This Is Your Home.

I Told You That.

Be Comfortable.

It Might Be Hard
Remembering All Those Rules.

I Might Have A Lapse
Once In A While.

I Have Five Children.

We've Had To Unlapse Them
A Whole Lot Of Times.

We Got That All Cleared Up.

Yeah.

Tea Looks Good.

Yeah, But Tea Is Tea Is Tea.

This Tea Is...

There's Just Something Missing.

I Can't Put My Hand On It.

I Think I Have Just The Thing.

Now I Can Put My Hand On It.
