Three.

One, Two, Three.

Okay, Rudy,
Your Question Is:

"Who Said, 'I Have Not Yet
Begun To Fight'?"

Papa Smurf.

You've Answered Every Question
"Papa Smurf."

It's Wrong?

Yes,
It's Wrong.

Papa Smurf Never Said That.

Who Did?

Clint Eastwood.

This Game's
Too Hard For Me.

(Ring)

Huxtable Residence.

Yeah, She Is.

Hold On For A Second.

Vanessa, You Have A Phone Call
From A Boy.

A Boy?

Has He Got The Right Number?

It's Probably
Just About Homework.

He Doesn't Have
That Homework Sound.

Whoa!

I'll Take It
In The Kitchen.

Hang Up The Second I Get On.

Let's Listen!

(Doorbell)

Hello There.

Can I Help You?

Yeah,
You're "Little Combustible."

Who?

That Was Your
Father's Nickname.

I'm Ernie Scott.

Oh, He Said
You Were Coming.

Weren't You Dad's Track Coach
In College?

Do I Look That Old?

Don't Answer That.

Okay. I'll Tell Daddy
You're Here.

Dad Has
A Picture Of You

Lifting Him Up
In The Air After
He Won A Race.

I Was Carrying Him
To The Locker Room
After He Collapsed.

What Happened?

Nothing.

After Every Race,
He'd Just Collapse.

Stadium Would Be Empty,
He'd Still Be Lying There.

Ernie!

You Got The Pepper?

I Got The Pepper.

Hey, Cliff.
Ah, Boy.

You've Got...

Whoa, You've Got
Something Else There.

Tell Me What
You've Been Doing

Besides Gaining Weight.

This Is The Same Belt Size
I Had When I Was In College.

Yeah, You Wore It In
A Different Place.

Cliff:
Theo

You're Looking At A Man
Who Changed My Entire Life.

Before I Met This Man,
I Was Happy.

And Then He Made Me Run The .

I've Come To See You...

Well, I Attend A Lot Of
These Masters Track Meets.

What's That?

Track Meets For People Over
Who Still Compete.

At Every One I Go To,
I See All Your Old Teammates:

Tommy Seals, Reggie Struthers,
Toussaint Jackson.

How Are They?

In Terrific
Condition.

You Have To Be
When You Compete At That Level.

They're Running Against
Guys Like Benny Moore

Like Whitfield,
Sanford B. "Tailwind" Turner...

"Tailwind" Turner.

That's
Right.

He's Still Running?

Yeah, That's Right.

Who's "Tailwind" Turner?

The Only Man Ever
To Beat Your Father.

Penn Relays.

Hillman
College

Versus Norton University.

Battle Of
The Two Great Anchormen:

Sanford B. "Tailwind" Turner

Heathcliff "Combustible"

Huxtable.

Let Me Tell You Something.

Came To The Anchormen,
"Tailwind", And Dad.

I Called Myself "Combustible"
Because--

Boom! When I Explode, That's It.

And They Had A -Yard Lead.

"Tailwind" Took Off.

I Felt Him-- Whoosh!

I Got The Baton, And I Took Off.

Now This Is Penn Relays.

You Got About , People.

Talking About, "Whaaw!"

I Got To Hold Back.

I Can't Listen To The Crowd.

So I'm Talking To Myself.

Said, "We Use Intelligence,
Stay Loose.

Long, Hard Strides."

Pull Out My Fishing Rod

And I Put A Hook
Dead In His Back

And Started To Reel Him In.

He Started Coming Back To Me

And I'm Staying Smooth,
Bottom Lip Just Bouncing.

Came Around The Turn

Now I'm Five Yards
Off Of Him, Man.

I Said To Myself,
"Combustible, Bust Him Up."

I'm Up On The Shoulder,
And I Hear The Crowd Say

"Whoaaa!"

I Did A Body Check,
And The Body Said, "Go Ahead."

The Body Said, "Go Ahead."

Said, "If You Want Him,
Go Get Him."

And I Said, "Look Out."

And This Man
Started To Edge Over.

In Other Words,
He Was Pushing Me--

Without Touching Me,
He's Pushing Me.

Pushed Me From Lane Two
To Lane Six

Almost Up In The Stands.

Wait. Turner Said
He Never Ran You Wide.

He's A Liar!

Ernie:
No, No.

This Has Been Going
On For Years.

Finally, It's Come To A Head.

What Do You Mean?

I Arranged A Rematch.

You Did?

Good. Good, Good.

Hillman
Versus
Norton.

In Three Weeks At The Masters
Meet At The Meadowlands.

Good. My Family Will Get Tickets

And We'll Come Out
And Watch This.

Aha.

Ah, Ha, Ha.

Ah, Ha, Ha.

Huh, Huh, Huh, Huh-Uh.

No, No, No, No.

I'm Way, Way Out Of Shape.

You're In Shape.

You Jog During The Week.

To Jog Is To Go,
"Pit-Pat, Pit-Pat."

To Run The Is To Go,
"Spish-Spash, Spish-Spash."

How Much Did You
Weigh In College?

.

What's Your Weight Now?

.

With Your Clothes
Off?

o .

Ernie:
Whoa!

Ernie!

Oh, Clair, My Love.

Look At You.

Mom, Guess What?

Clair:
What?

Dad Is Running Against
"Tailwind" Turner.

I Never Said
I Was Running Anything.

"Tailwind" Turner?

That Tired Little Toad?

Clair...

You Would Have
Caught Him That Day.

You Should Have
Seen Your Father.

He Took Off
Like Lightning.

He Wore White Shoes
With Red Shoelaces

That I Had Bought Him.

I Was Looking Smooth,
Wasn't I, Dear?

He Was Fierce!

The Only Time He Ran
The Last Yards Of The Race

Without Tying Up.

Coming Around That Curve

Smooth As A Whistle In The Wind

Your Head Turning Around.

He Was Getting Ready
To Pass Him.

Then This Little Sneaky Snake
Edges Over

And Tries To Push
Your Father Into The Stands.

And He Only Beat Me
By Half A Step.

Ernie:
Oh, No, No.

Turner's Been Bragging
For Years

That He Beat You
By Ten Yards.

He Didn't Say That.

Yes, He Did.

He Said

He Had His Sweat Pants On
And Was Eating A Hot Dog

When You Finally Crossed
The Finish Line.

He Wouldn't Say That To My Face.

He Said He Would, But That
You Wouldn't Recognize Him

Because All You Ever Seen
Is The Back Of His Head.

He Said That?

Yeah.

That's What He Said?

He Said That, Huh?

That's What He Said.

I'm Going Around Twice.

I Won't Stop Here. Twice.

Okay.

Ready!

No, You Don't
Yell Ready.

I'll Let You Know...

When My Arm Drops,
Then You Hit The Watch.

Okay.

Theo:
All Right,
Come On, Dad.

Come On,
Go, Go, Go!

Nice And
Smooth.

Come On,
Run It Out.

Come On, Nice
And Smooth.

Looking Good, Dad, Looking Good.

Long Strides

Come On, Nice
And Smooth.

All Right, You're Looking Good.

You're Looking Good.

All Right,
Come On.

Come On, Dad.

Looking Good, Dad.

Come On,
Looking Good.

Looking Good.
Come On!

Where Did He Go?

Dad, What's
The Matter?

You Got
A Half A Lap To Go.

No, This Is Fine.

You Said You Would Do
Three oos And Four oos.

We Don't Need
To Do Those Today.

Why?

This Is In Case
I Wasn't In Shape.

I'm In Shape.

Interested In Your Time?

No. Let's Go Home.

Home?

(No Audio)

(Groan)

How Are You Doing?

Please, Don't Touch Me.

You Weren't Out There
Very Long.

I Went Out There.

I Said I Was Going To Run
Three oos

And A Couple Of oos.

So I Took Off On The ,
Which Is Two Laps Around

And The First Lap
I Stayed Pretty Smooth.

But Then I Went
Behind The Bleachers...

And The Bear Was Waiting For Me.

And The Bear Gave Me
A Sofa And A Refrigerator

And Wanted Me To Carry It
For The Rest Of The Race.

The First Day's
Always The Hardest.

You Have To Give Yourself
A Chance.

Every Person That Ernie
Has Lined Up Is In Shape.

I'm Not Going Out There
And Embarrass Myself.

Okay.

Clair?

Yes?

Would You Bring The Shower
Down Here, Please?

(Ring)

Doctor Huxtable Here.

Is This Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable?

Yes, It Is.
Who's Speaking?

This Is
Colonel Sanford B. Turner

Better Known To You
As "Tailwind."

Yeah, "Tailwind", How You Doing?

I'm In The Marines, And
I'm Coach Of Our Track Team.

Oh, Yeah?

The Rumor Is You
And Your Old Cronies From Norton

Are Looking For A Rematch.

I Heard
You Have

A Long Way To Go
To Get The Pepper.

Ha! I Got Enough Pepper To
Sprinkle On Your Little Head.

If You Can't Find The Track,
I'll Send A Car For You.

You'd Better Keep It.

After The Race

You'll Need Something
To Take You To The Cemetery.

Aah!

Ow.

Ow!

(No Audio)

All Right.
Hit It.

Keep Your Elbows In.

Keep Them In.

That's It.

No, You've Got
To Slap It In.

I'll Hurt You.

No, Just Slap It In.

Dad, Do I Look Okay

For Leon's Birthday Party?

Whoa! Leon Is In Big Trouble.

Thanks. I'm Sorry
I'm Going To Miss Your Race.

I'm Sorry I'm Going
To Miss Leon's Party.

You Look Beautiful.

Thank You, Rudy.

Dad, Could We Talk?

Sure.

Privately.

It's About Boys.

Exc-U-U-Use Me!

During A Slow Dance,
What Do You Do With This Hand?

You Could Wave At The People
Who Are Coming In Late.

Dad, This Is Serious.

Okay.

All Right, The Slow
Record Comes On.

♪ Baby, What... ♪

Uh, Vanessa?

Huh?

You Don't Mash Your Body
Up Against Any Boy.

I Don't Care Who He Is.

Do You Understand?

You're Not Going
To Mash Your Body.

Now Step Back Inches.

(Doorbell)

Thanks, Dad.

(Whistle)

You Got The Pepper?

I've Got The Pepper.

Good Luck.

We'll Be Right Up
In The Stands.

We'll Be Rooting
For You.

Make Sure Cliff's Shoe Laces
Are Tied Tightly

That He's Properly Warmed,
And He Doesn't Pull Anything.

Do It To 'Em.

Have You Got The Pepper?

I've Got The Pepper.

All Right,
Come On.

I Hope He Wins.

I Hope He Comes Out Of It Alive.
