Post by bunniefuu »

I Gave My Cat
A Ball Of Ya... Ya...

Daddy?

Daddy!

Hey, What's Happening?

What's This Word?

Which One?

Uh... Yarn.

See.

Ya-A-R-R-N-N.

Yarn.

Thanks.

I Gave My Cat
A Ball Of Yarn.

She Put It In Her Bask...

Daddy.

Where Are You Going?

What?

What's This Word?

B-A-A-S-S-K-E-T.

B-A-A-S-K-E-T.

Basket.

Thanks.

No Problem.

She Pla...

Daddy.

What?

What's This Word?

Why Don't We
Read This Together?

She Played With It All Day.

Got It?

The End.

All Right.

You Want To Read
Something Else?

No, You're Tired.

Thank You.

May I Have A Kiss,
Please?

Bye-Bye.

Hey, Dad.

How You Doing?

How Was Basketball Practice?

I Couldn't Really Concentrate.

I Kept Thinking About
That Math Test Today.

It Was A k*ller.

Twenty Questions-
No Multiple Choice

And We Couldn't Even
Use Calculators.

During The Whole Test

You Couldn't
Hear Anyone Breathing.

When The
Bell Rang

Everyone Gave The Test
To Mrs. Westlake

And Left Without Saying A Word.

All Right.

Cockroach Couldn't
Get Out Of The Chair.

He Just Sat There
Shaking His Head, Saying:

"I Never Got Past Number Three."

How Many Did You Do?

I Answered All .

How Do You Think You Did?

All I Can Say Is,
I Studied As Hard As I Could.

That's All I Can Ask.

That's All Your Mother Can Ask.

That's All The World Can Ask.

I Hope Cockroach Is All Right.

Last Time I Saw Him

He Was Wandering Around, Saying:

"I Didn't Get Past
Number Three."

I'll Get It.

Huxtable Residence.

Yes, He's Here.

Who's Speaking?

Hold On, Mrs. Westlake.

Dad, This Is Mrs. Westlake.

Your Mrs. Westlake?

She's Not My Mrs. Westlake.

She Wants To Talk To You.

Okay.

Hello, Dr. Huxtable Here.

Yes, Mrs. Westlake.

How Are You?

You Would?

Well, Fine.

Sure.

Why Don't You Come Over Here
For Dinner?

Dad, No!

Don't Do This To Me.

Do What To You?

Give It To Me.

Yes...

Sure, You Can Bring
Your Husband Over.

No, No.

Just A Minute, Please.

Are You Landing An Airplane
Or Something?

Don't Invite Her Here.

It's Too Late, I Already Did.

Now, Listen, Mrs. Westlake.

Yes, My Wife And I
Would Be So Happy.

: .

Yes.

We'll See You Then.

No, This Will Not
Be Anything Fancy.

Thank You Very Much.

Bye-Bye.

You Didn't Tell Me
She Had An Accent.

What Did She Say?

She Wants To See Me.

It's The Test.

I Blew It!

You Don't Know That.

Why Not Meet Her At School?

I Thought It Would Be Nicer
If She Came Here.

But You Didn't Ask Me.

No, Say That To Me Again.

You Didn't Ask Me If She
Could Come For Dinner.

Wait One Second.

Stay Right Here.

Now, These Are The Bills.

That's The Water Bill.

This Is The Mortgage.

This Is The Electricity.

Your Name Is Not
On Any Of These.

Dinner Is In Two Hours.

Wash Up.

The Water's All Paid For.

If I Pay For The Water,
Would You Call Her Back?

No!

Come On.
Go.

Denise?

Yeah?

Come Here.

What's Up?

Denise, She's Coming.

Who?

The Creature Teacher.

Mrs. Westlake?

Yes, She's Coming Here
For Dinner Tonight.

Dad Invited Her.

I'm Sorry.

What's The Occasion?

A Math Test.

She's Coming Here
For A Math Test?


What Did You Get?

She's Coming Here.

What Do You Think I Got?

Sounds Pretty Bad.

Think I Can Break My Arm
Before Dinner?

How Bad Can It Be?

She'll Only Be Here
A Few Hours.

But What If
Cockroach And The Guys

Find Out She Was Here?

I'll Have To Live With It
For The Rest Of My Life.

Wherever I Go

I'll Be Known As The Guy

Who Had Dinner
With Mrs. Westlake.

I'm Sorry I'm Going
To Miss This.

You Won't Be Here?

I'm Going Shopping With Monica.

I Need You
To Take The Pressure Off Me.

Theo, I Can't Stay.

Maybe She'll Call And Cancel.

No Way.

She'll Jump At This.

A Woman Like Her
Never Gets Invited Anywhere.

Well, Good Luck.

Thanks.

Dad, What Are You Doing?

I'm Putting Hors D'oeurves
Down For The Guests.


Why?

Because I Always
Put Hors D'oeurves Out


For The Guests.

Dad, This Will Make
The Evening Longer.

Couldn't We Just Go To The Table

And Start Eating?

If You'd Like

I'll Just Put The Food
In A Brown Paper Bag

And Have Them Eat It
Out On The Sidewalk.

Fine With Me.

Now What Are
You Doing?

I'm Straightening
Pillows.

Mrs. Westlake
Likes Order.

The First Thing
She Does Everyday

Is Make Sure Our Desks
Are In Perfect Rows.

Really?

I Ought To Show Her Your Room.

Dad, No!

She Stands In Front Of The Class
Like This-

With Her Hair In A Tight Bun

And Glasses On Her Nose

So She Can Look Down On Us.

Must Be Rough.

I Pity Her Husband.

I Only Spend One Class
A Day With Her.

He Lives With Her.

He Probably Raises His Hand
To Go To The Bathroom.

Vanessa, What
Are You Doing?

I'm Eating Dinner.

Why Isn't Vanessa
Eating With Us?

She Has A Science Club Meeting.

Rudy's Eating With Us, Right?

No. She's Staying
At Peter's House.

I'll Be The Only One Here
Mrs. Westlake Can Pick On?

Vanessa, Come On.

Have Another Dinner.

Wouldn't You Want To Spend
The Evening With Us Adults?

Sorry. I Can't.

Why Are You So
Upset About This?

How Would You Feel If
Your Teacher Came For Dinner?

I'd Love It.

You Would.

Theo, Stop Worrying.

It Will Be A Lovely Evening.

The Only Thing I'd Worry About
Is Making A Mistake At Dinner.

What Do You Mean?

Say Mrs. Westlake
Asks You To Pass The Gravy.

Your Elbow Hits The Table

And You Spill The Whole
Bowl In Her Lap.

Mom, Are We Having Gravy?

No.

But You Know,
It Could Be Worse.

Mrs. Westlake Reaches
For The Salt

And You Accidentally
Sneeze On Her Arm.

Ew!

Mom!

Theo Doesn't Need To Hear This.

If Your Teacher Were Coming
Over, You'd Be Nervous.

Maybe.

But I Don't Call My Teacher
"Dragon Lady"

Behind
Her Back.

That's Her.

Hello?

Dr. Huxtable?

Yes.

Hi.

This Is
My Husband.

Hi, Jack Westlake.

Westlake?

Yes.

Theo!

Come Here, Son.

Mrs. Westlake?

Hello, Theodore.

Yeah, This Is Your Teacher
With The Bun In Her Hair.

Thank You.

You Have
A Lovely Home.

Thank You.

Theo, Why Don't
You Sit Down?

Oh, Yeah.

Come On.
Join Us, Please.

Why Don't You
Sit By Me?

I Don't Bite.

Mrs. Westlake

Mrs. Huxtable And I Are Very,
Very Happy To Meet You.

Anna Was Very Excited
About Meeting You.

Yes, I Was.

Your Accent's Lovely.
Where Are You From?

I'm From Indiana.

That's Why I Married Him.

I Love The Way He Talks.

No, Mrs. Westlake.
Where Are You From?


Please Call Me Anna Maria.

I'm From Brazil.

Ah, Brazil.

Nao Falo Bem Portugues.

Voce Fala Portugues.

No.
Porque?


Eu Ful Ao Brasil
Por Dus Semanas.


No, We're Not Going
To Do This Tonight.

We're Going To Talk
American Tonight.

I'm So Sorry.

No, Hey,
Hey!

That's It.

What City Are You From?

From Rio.

Rio!

Oh, That's My City.

You Have Never Been.

Because My Wife
Won't Let Me Go.

If She Ever
Lets You Go

Go During Carnival.

The Whole City
Is One Big Party.

She Took Me Last Year.

Kept Me Up
Dancing All Night.

Mrs. Westlake?

We Were Going To
Go Back This Year

But We May Not
Be Able To.

You're Happy About That?

We're Happy About What Might
Keep Us From Going Back.

Eu Acho Que Estou Gravida.

Ay, Para Bem!

Que Barato!

No, No, No, No.

Anna Maria Thinks
She's Pregnant.

Mrs. Westlake?

Well, Congratulations.

Thank You.

And I Want You To Be My Doctor.

Why Didn't You Say That?

You Didn't Give Me The Chance.

Well, I Would Be Honored.

Then You Won't Be Finishing
The School Year?

Oh, No.

If I'm Pregnant

The Baby Will Come
In The Summer.

You'll Teach Next Year?

No. I'm Taking A Year Off.

Son, You Were Fortunate

To Get Mrs. Westlake
When You Did.

Yes, Dad.

Very Fortunate.

Excuse Me.

This Really Is
A Special Occasion.

Dad

That Is Not The Mrs. Westlake
I Told You About.


Who Is It?

That's Mrs. Westlake

But Not The Mrs. Westlake
I Know.

I See.

First Of All,
Look At Her.

She Looks Good!

She's Got Her Hair Down

Got Her Glasses Off.

Dad, She's Wearing Makeup.

She Even Said Something Funny.

I Can Get A's
From A Woman Like That.

So What Is Your Point?

She Can't Fool Me.
I Know What She's Doing Here.

What?

She Didn't Come Here
Because Of That Baby.

She's Waiting For The Right Time

To Tell Me What I Got
On My Math Test.

She Wants To Drop The b*mb
On Me In My Own Home.

You See, Dad

That Would Be
A Dream Come True For Her.

I've Listened
To What You're Saying...

And I Heard You.

I Thought About It,
And You Know What I Think?

What?

You're Losing Your Mind.

Are You Making Fun Of Me, Dad?

No, You're Doing
All Of It Yourself.

Now Come On
Out Here.

So The Man Said

I'm Sorry, Sir

But The Toreador
Does Not Always Win.

When I First Moved
To America

I Used To Stay Up All Night
Learning My English

But People Did Not Speak
The English I Was Learning.

They Spoke A Kind
Of "Diner" English.

Anna Worked In A Diner
While Attending College.

Give Me Adam And
Eve On A Raft.

Two Poached Eggs
On Toast.

How Do You
Know That?

I Worked In
A Diner, Too.

Here's One.

Give Me A Berg,
Hold The Garden.

Hamburger-
No Lettuce, No Tomato.

All Right.

What About This One?

Give Me A Dog,
And Make It Cry.

Yes. The Hot Dog With Onions.

Ah!

I Have One For You.

Give Me A Dried-Up Frog,
And Leave His Liver In.

And What Is That?

It's Exactly What I Said.

How Long Did You
Work In A Diner?

All Through
College.

Tell Them What You
Did On The Weekends.

I Drove A Taxi Cab.

You Drove A Cab?

Yeah.

The First Night Wasn't Easy.

A Man Got Into My Cab
And Told Me:

"To The Airport,
And Step On It."

I Thought To Myself:

"Why Do I Have To
Step On The Airport?"

He Said:

"Please, I Need
To Get There In A Jiffy!"

And I Said:

"This Is Not A Jiffy.
It's A Yellow Cab."

Did The Man Make It
To The Airport?

Yes, But I
Missed My Flight.

Aw!

So You Worked Two Jobs
While You Were In College.


Yeah, But I Didn't Mind
The Work.

I Was In America.

I Knew That If
I Worked Hard

I Could Be
Whatever I Wanted.

That's Why I Make You
Work So Hard.

Well, Theo
Has Said

That He Gets An Awful Lot
Of Attention In Your Class.

But I'm Not Saying I Mind.

That's Not

What You Said.

He Came Home
The First Day Of School-

His Face Was Like This.

I Have To Tell.

I Have To Tell.

My Son Came Home-

His Face Was
Like This-

And He Said:

"Dad, The Thing I Was Most
Afraid Of In My Whole Life

Happened Today."

I Said, "What, Son?"

"I Got
Mrs. Westlake For Math."

"And The First Day, Dad,
She Gave Us Homework."


And What About
The Second Day Of Class?

I Knew He Had
Not Done His Homework

Because When I Asked
For Volunteers

To Go To The Blackboard

He Tried To Hide Behind
The Person In Front Of Him.

I Did That In Biology Class.

It Doesn't Work.

I Know.

That's Why I Always
Sent You To The Blackboard.

I Wanted You To Know

That I Knew
You Weren't Prepared.

I Thought It Might
Make You Study More.

It Did.

Now When You Go
To The Blackboard

You Do Much Better.

And The Class Sees This

And They Want To
Do Better, Too.

I Don't Know
If Theo Knows It

But He's Lucky
To Have A Teacher Like You.

Thank You.

I Get Excited

When My Students Do The Work
I Know They Can Do.

I Don't Like It When Children
Take Education For Granted.

That's Why I'm Tough.

And I'll Keep
Being Tough

Even If It Means That
They Call Me "The Dragon Lady."

Who Calls You That?

All My Students Do

But I Like That Name.

It Means That
I'm Doing My Job.

May I Use
Your Phone?

- Of Course.
- Thank You.

Would You Excuse Me
Just A Little Bit?

I'd Like To Talk
To You, Theodore

In The Other Room.

You Would?

And Make It
Snappy.

Dad, That's The
Mrs. Westlake I Know.

You Wanted To See Me,
Mrs. Westlake?

Yes, Theodore.
Please Sit Here.

Yes, Mrs. Westlake.

You Know What?

I'm Very Glad That
I Came Here Tonight.

Me, Too!

Maybe We Can
Do It Again Sometime.

Yes, I Hope So, Too.

You Know What?

I Love
Your Parents.

They Are Very,
Very Nice.

Thank You, Mrs. Westlake.

Theodore, I Want To Talk
To You About The Test Today.

Oh.

I Brought It
With Me

But I Didn't Want
To Give It To You

In Front Of
Your Parents.

Thank You, Mrs. Westlake.

Thank You.

Open It.

Do I Have To?

You Don't Have To.

Open It.

Yes, Mrs. Westlake.

An !

?!

I Got An !
All Right!

I Mean, Uh...

I'm Very Pleased, Mrs. Westlake.

So Am I.

This Was A Hard Test.

I Know.

One Student Just Got Up To
Problem Number Three.

Really?

Mom, Dad...

Mrs. Westlake
Brought My Test Over.

.

Oh, Theo!

This Is An !

Come In.

.

.

Tell Me The Truth Now.

Didn't You Wind Up Having
A Wonderful Time Today?

I Have To Admit,
I Really Did.

And Since We Won't Have A Test
For Three Weeks

I Have Less Pressure On Me.

You Studied For A Whole Week.

That's Why You Got The .

You Have A Habit Of Knowing
When The Test Is Coming

And Then Waiting Until
The Night Before-

Then You
Study.

And You Walk Around The House
Yelling At People-

Pencils Sticking Out
Of Your Ears-

"Would You All Be Quiet?

I'm Trying To Study Here!"

But I Give You Credit.
You're A Genius.

I Am?

Yeah.

You Would Study
The Night Before-

Read From Chapter One
To Chapter -

Inhale All Of It

And Then The Next Morning
Go Take The Test And Pass.

Just Pass.

That's Right.
Just Pass.

Now, Dr. Newman,
My Professor At School, Said:

"Think Of Yourself
As An Airplane."

You Take Off...

You Burn A Lot Of Fuel
Taking Off

But Once You Reach That Height
And Level Off

You Burn Less Fuel.

Just Level Off.

But The Way
You Used To Do It

Is You Would Take Off
And Land.

Take Off...

And Land.

And The Passengers Were Getting
Jittery And Nervous.

You See?

Now That You've Taken Off
In Math

You Just Need To Study
To Keep Your Altitude.

I Like That.

Just Because Of That

I Think We Should
Go On Downstairs

And We'll Have
A Little Dessert.

I Don't Know, Dad.

You See, Dessert
Is Like An Airplane.

Once You Get To
A Certain Weight

You Have To Cut
Back On The Fuel.

Yeah, But That's Okay For Me

Because I Fly Lower Than You.

Come On.
