In The Last Episode,
The Family Gathered For Theo's Graduation.

Dad, There Are No More Tickets.

That's It. That's All I Can Do Man.

I Just Need Six Tickets.

Six?! A Minute Ago
You Said Four.

I Know, But Jeffrey Engels,
He Lives Next Door

And His Ex-Wife,
They Want To Come.

They Remember You
When You Were Like This, Man.

This Is A Big Moment.

Dad...

Six Tickets More.

Why Did You Invite Kenny?

You Don't Want Kenny To Come,
Then Uninvite Him.

The Boy Gave Me Tube Socks.

I Cannot Uninvite Him.

Then Get Him A Ticket!

But...

Dad, Please
Listen To Me.

I'm Listening.

There... Are...

No... More... Tickets.

Look At Me!

There Are No... Look.

And Look At You Today.

My Baby's
Graduating From College.

When Your Father Graduated

They Called His Name,
He Walked Across The Stage

Accepted His Diploma
In His Left Hand

Shook Hands With His Right

Then He Proceeded
To Hug Every Person On The Dais

Including The Ushers.

He Held Up The Ceremony
For Seven Minutes.

Dad Sure Knows

How To Celebrate, Huh?

Especially When It
Comes To Learning.

Denise Is On The Phone.

She Wants To Talk
To Everybody.

Come On, Sweetie.

Cliff:
Singapore Sweetheart.

How's The Lieutenant Doing?

Protecting The Country?

Denise! Honey,
I'm Not Going To Talk Long

Because I Know
You Want To Talk To Theo

And Wish Him Congratulations.

What?

My Baby.

What?

My Baby's Having A Baby.

( Screaming And Cheering )

Hello, Denise.

It's Me.

We're Having A Baby.

Now, Don't Let It Be Born
Till I Get There.

Okay, Denise.

He's Right Here.

Bye, Denise.

Bye, Baby!

Sorry, Dad.

Hey, Denise,
How You Doing?

Uncle Theo, Here.

Yeah, Well,
Congratulations To You Too.

I'll See You Tomorrow.

All Right.

Denise, Honey.

Yes, Listen
To Your Grandma Carrie.

Sit Down
As Much As You Can Now

Because You Will Never
Sit Down Again.

Never.

And If Martin Starts
To Get On Your Nerves

And That Smile

You Used To Think
Was So Sexy

Now Looks Stupid,
Don't Tell Him.

It Will Pass Most Likely.

Tell Her, Grandma.

Excuse Me, Son.

Hey, Denise, Now, Listen.

This Is Very Important Advice.

Don't Ever Call Anybody Ugly

'Cause The Baby
Will Look Just Like Them.

( Everyone Laughing )

Now, You Get Yourself
Some Rest. Bye.

( Kissing Sounds )

She Needs Her Rest.

Grandpa, We're Ready.

Nelson:
Yeah, Let's Go.

Come Here, Both Of You.

Stand Right Here.

Now, You Know We're Going Out
To The Big Graduation.

The Big Celebration,
Right?

Now, There's Certain Things

I Don't Want You
To Say Out Loud Anymore.

Now, What Was It That You Said
To That Man, Remember?

What Did You Say?

Ooh, Look. That Man Has Hair
Growing Out Of His Ears.

Correct. If You See Hair
Growing Out Of The Ears

Let It Grow.

You Don't Have
To Tell The Man About It.

All Right?

For You, You Don't Say Out Loud

The Way You Did
The Last Time, What?

Ooh, That Lady's Old.

Yeah. That Isn't Nice.

And I Want You To Understand

That We Cannot
Spend The Afternoon

Picking You Up
And Taking You To The Bathroom.

Now, Do You Have To Go Now?

Hammer Time!

All Right.

Go On Out,
Go On Out.

Hammer Out, Hammer Out.

Well, Son, I Know
This Is Your Big Day.

Yeah, Dad.

First The Daughter Graduates,
And Now The Son.

Oh, Boy.

And We're All
Proud Of You, Son.

Well, Dad, I'm Proud Of Myself,
Thank You Very Much.

But As We All Know, Son

You Get A Little Exuberant
At These Functions.

I Would Never Do Anything
To Embarrass The Family.

Confetti, Son?

Yeah, Well, You Know,
You Just...

And Isn't This The Thing
You Used At Princeton?

( Horn Honking )

It's, Uh... Crowd Control.

Well, You Just
Control Yourself, Son.

Yes. Okay.

Tell Me To Control Myself--

I'm A Grown Man,
Living In My Own House.

Russell:
What Was That, Son?

Nothing, Sir.

Sweetheart, Are You

Wearing A Slip?

Grandma!

All Right, Everybody,
Move The Wagons Out.

We're Still Short
Three Tickets.

I Got Beach Chairs Here.

( Everyone Groaning )

Dad, Wait A Minute.

Elvin And I Will Stay Here.

I'm The Extra Man.

You Can't Do That,
Honey.

Honey?

We're Just Friends.
We're Just Friends.

We Will Stay.

Sondra, You Go.

No, No, No. What Is This?

Everybody's Quitting?

Dad, We Do Not Have
Enough Tickets.

I Understand That.

So This Is All Of A Sudden
Reminding You All Of What?

All:
Princeton!

And As Far As You

Are All Concerned,
Some Horrible Things Happened.

What Were They?

The Security Guard.

The Tow Truck.

The Doberman.

It Was A German Shepherd.

See, That's How Much
You People Remember.

We're Going To A Graduation

And I Don't Know
What's Going To Happen

But I Bet You
It Will Be Something

That You Will Never Forget.

You Got That Right, Son.

I'm Going On Ahead.

You Do
What You Want To Do.

Give Me One Of The Chairs.

I'll Take One, Dad.

Give Me One Of Those.

All Right.

Now, Binoculars?

Everybody Raise
Your Binoculars.

Down. Cameras.

Up... And Down.

All Right.

Let's Head Out.

Oh, Wait.

The Guest Of Honor.

All:
Theo!

( Cheering )

Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

Go, Theo.

Hey, Beach Chairs.

Yes.

Why Not?

That's Right. Okay...

Uh, Excuse Me.

One Side.

Let The Man Through.

Theo, Three Tickets.

That's The Best I Could Do.

This Is Unbelievable.

Where Did You Get These?

My Brother.

Your Brother?

Yeah.

My Brother Says
If You Can't

Do Something Nice
For A Neighbor

Don't Bother
Living Next Door.

All Right, Bud.

Cliff:

Out Of Here.

Hurry Up, Hurry Up.

Oh, Boy.

Oh, Boy.

Hey, Dad,

Thank You.

Get In The Car

And Leave Room
For Your Mother.

All Right,
Here We Go Again.

Oh, Oh, Oh...

Honey,
What Are You Doing?

Just In Case.

Just In Case.

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

Mrs. Huxtable,
Dr. Huxtable

On Your Behalf.

Oh, Lance.

Yo.

Hard To Get Good Help,
Isn't It?

Son...

Your Mother Asked Me

To Come Up Here
And k*ll You.

Hey, I Know.

You Know What?

What You're Going To Say

And It's Under Control, So...

No Problem.
No Problem.

How Do You Expect

To Get Into College
With These Grades?

No Problem.
Huh?

I'm Not Going To College.

Damn Right.

I'll Get Through
High School

And Then Get A Job
Like Regular People.

Regular People?

Yeah, You Know,
Who Work In A Gas Station

Or Drive A Bus.

So You're Saying

Your Mother And I
Shouldn't Care If You Get D's

Because You Don't Need
Good Grades

To Be Regular People.

Right.

Okay.

Oh...

Suppose... You Graduate
From High School.

Let's Say You Just Slide By.

You've Got
To Find A Job.

What Kind Of Salary
Do You Expect

For A Regular Person?

Mmm... $ A Week.

$ Dollars A Week?

Yeah.

Sit Down.

I'm Going To Give You
$ A Week.

Yes, Indeed.

$ A Week--

$ , A Month.

All Right?

I'll Take It!

Yes, You Will.

And I Will Take
$ For Taxes...

Whoa!

Because The Government

Comes For
The Regular People First.

How Much Does That
Leave You With?

$ .

All Right.

Now, You've Got
To Have An Apartment

Because You Are Not
Going To Live Here.

So, An Apartment
In Manhattan

Will Run You
At Least $ A Month.

I'll Live In New Jersey.

All Right.

You Live In New Jersey,
You've Got To Have A Car.

I'll Ride A Motorbike.

You Need A Helmet.

Figure A Hundred A Month
For Clothes And Shoes.

Figure --
I Want To Look Good.

So What Does That
Leave You With?

$ .

So, No Problem.

There Is A Problem.

You Haven't Eaten Yet.

I Can Get By
On Bologna And Cereal.

So I've Got Everything I Need
Plus $ Left For The Month.

Plan To Have A Girlfriend?

For Sure.

Regular People.

Vanessa:
Denise, Open This Door!

Vanessa.

Open This Door!

Vanessa!

Vanessa.

Come Here.

Come Here.

Here, Here, Here.

There Is There.

This Is Here--
Come Here.

Denise Pushed Us
Out Of The Bathroom

And The Shampoo
Is In Rudy's Eyes

And Now Rudy Might Be
Blinded For Life.

If She Is,
Can We Get A Dog?

Dad, I Thought About
What You Said

And I See Your Point.

Thank You.
Thank You.

But I Have A Point Too.

Make Your Point.

You're A Doctor
And Mom's A Lawyer.

You're Both Successful

And That's Great.

But Maybe I Was Born
To Be A Regular Person

And Have A Regular Life.

If You Weren't A Doctor,
I Wouldn't Love You Less

Because
You're My Dad.

And So, Instead
Of Acting Disappointed

Because I'm Not Like You

Maybe You Can
Just Accept Who I Am

And Love Me Anyway...

Because I'm Your Son.

Theo...

That's The Dumbest Thing
I've Ever Heard In My Life!

No Wonder
You Get D's In Everything.

Now, You Are Afraid To Try

Because You're Afraid That
Your Brain Is Going To Explode

And Ooze Out Of Your Ears.

Now, I'm Telling You

You Are Going To Try
As Hard As You Can

And You're Going To Do It
Because I Said So!

I Am Your Father.

I Brought You In This World,
And I'll Take You Out.

Now, Son, Come Here.

Come Here.

Now Listen To Me.

I Just Want You To Do
The Best You Can.

That's All.

I'll Try, Dad,
I Really Will.

I Love You.

Yeah, Dad.
Huh?

I Know.
Yeah.

And Maybe...

Your Mother Loves You Too.
