Denise, Is Mom Home Yet?
When She Gets In, Let Me Know.
I Have Something Important
To Ask Her.
Vanessa, Don't Bother Her.
She's Had Hardly Any Sleep
Getting Ready For That Trial.
Denise, It's Really Important
That I Talk To Her.
It's More Important
That She Reads My Essay
For My Application To
The University Of Rhode Island.
This Affects My Life
Very Deeply.
What I Have To Ask Mom
Affects My Life Just As Deeply.
What Do You Have To Ask?
I Want To Know If I Can Borrow
$ To Buy Some New Earrings.
That Affects Your Life
Very Deeply?
Yes. I Want To Wear Them
To A Party Tomorrow Night.
Donny Pearson's
Going To Be There.
Come On, Denise.
If He Notices Me
He Could Fall In Love With Me.
We Could Get Married
And Live Together For Years.
You'll Only Be In College
For Three Years
And You'll Probably
Drop Out Anyway.
How Selfish Can You Be?
This Affects
My Whole Family's Life.
You Can Talk To Mom First.
But I'm Asking Her About The $
When You're Finished.
Fine, Go Ahead.
Mom! Hi.
Can You Please
Read The Essay
I Wrote For The University
Of Rhode Island?
I've Been On My Feet
In Court For Ten Hours.
I Have Not Slept In Days.
I'm In No Condition To Read.
Oh, How About
If I Read It To You?
Read It To Your Dad.
This Is About
How Women's Roles
Have Changed
In The Past Years.
I Haven't Captured
What It Is I Want To Say.
Can You Read It, Please?
It's Really Important.
Okay.
Thanks.
The Other Way, Mom.
Words Are Swimming
All Over The Page.
Why Don't You
Bring It To Me Tomorrow?
First Thing
In The Morning?
First Thing.
Right Now I Just Need
Some Peace And Quiet, Okay?
(Whispers)
Peace And Quiet.
Denise, Are You Finished?
She Wants
To Be Left Alone.
I Need To Talk To Her.
You Can't Do It Now.
You Can't
Tell Me What To Do.
What Are You--
Mom's Guardian?
Look At Her.
She Needs
To Be Left Alone.
You Can't Tell Me
To Leave Mom Alone.
Only Mom Can Tell Me
To Leave Mom Alone.
Mom...
Leave Me Alone.
I'm Working On The Hardest Case
Of My Career.
I Just Asked For Minutes
Of Peace And Quiet.
I'll Accept .
If You've Understood,
Please Nod.
Thank You.
Now You Can Leave... Silently.
I Told You.
You're So Selfish.
(Arguing)
Mom...
I'm So Glad You're Home.
I Found
This Great Apartment.
It's Cheap, It's In
A Great Location And Guess What?
It's Already Furnished.
All You Have To Do
Is Sign The Lease.
Here You Go.
Does It Ever Occur
To Anyone Around Here
That I Might Have
Needs Of My Own?
All I Get Is A Barrage
Of Demands
From Some Useless Children
Who Couldn't Care Less
About What's Happening To Me.
I Can't Even Get A "Hello, Mom.
"How Are You Today?
How Did Your Day Go?"
All I Get Is
"Mom, I Want.
Mom, All You Have To Do Is..."
And There Are Days Like Today
When The Selfishness
Is Just Too Much.
Do You Understand?
Yes, Mom.
But They Want You
To Sign Right Down Here.
I'll Sign It Tomorrow.
You Don't Understand.
I've Got To Give This
To The Landlord
By : In The Morning.
I'd Have To Get Up At : ,
Come Here On The Subway
Have You Sign It
And Take It Back To School.
That's Two Hours Wasted.
You Can Sign It Here
In Four Seconds.
Theo, You Don't Sign A Lease
Without Reading It.
I Read It.
It's Okay.
Give Me This Thing.
Just To Get You Away
And Leave Me Be.
Aw, Thanks.
I'm Going To Get
Something To Eat
But Don't Get Up.
You Need Your Rest.
I'm Just Grateful
You Signed This.
Theo?
Theo.
What Did I Sign?
Theo!
Theo, What Did I Sign?
The Lease To My Apartment.
I'm An Attorney.
I Signed A Lease.
I Didn't Even Read It.
Don't Worry About It.
I Read It.
It's Cool.
You Look Awful.
Are You Sure
You Can Do This?
Boy, I Read These Things
In My Sleep.
But You Don't Have To.
The Landlord Said It's Almost
Like A Standard Agreement.
"Almost Like
A Standard Agreement"?
Yeah.
Did You See Clause #
Printed On The Back?
They Print On The Back, Too?
Yes, They Do.
You Are Not Giving
The Landlord This
Till I Talk To Him.
You'll Get The Landlord Angry
By Grilling Him With Questions.
I Could Lose This Apartment.
This Is A Nice Apartment.
It's The Only Apartment I Found
With A Dishwasher.
Use Paper Plates.
Mom.
Hi, Rudy.
You Look Awful.
Yeah, I Know.
You Know That Field Trip
I'm Supposed To Go On
In Three Weeks?
I Need You
To Fill This Out.
The Field Trip
Is Three Weeks Away.
Why Do You Need This Today?
Because Then I Can Pick
Who I Sit Next To On The Bus.
I Am Not Going
To Inconvenience Myself
So You Can Sit Next To One
Of Your Raggedy Friends.
Mom, Are You In A Bad Mood?
Yes, I Am.
What Of It?
I Can't Be In
A Bad Mood
Just Because I'm A Parent?
You Children Have Bad Moods
Any Time You Want.
I Have A Bad Mood One Day
Everybody Throws That
In My Face.
I'll Come Back Later.
You Most Certainly Will Not Come Back Later.
Being Selfish
All Over Again.
Ask Your Father
To Fill It Out.
I Did.
He Said To Come To You.
Oh, He Did, Did He?
I'm Not Filling That Out
Till I Get Good And Ready.
Cliff!
Can You Come Here?
I Wish Someone Would Tell Me
The Right Person To Go To.
I Don't Know
If I'm Coming Or Going.
My Wife Is Here.
I'm A Happy Man.
Aha!
Now, There You Go.
Well.
You Don't Look So Good.
Why Did You Send Rudy To Me
With That Form To Fill Out?
Why Didn't You
Take Care Of That Yourself?
I Think When Our Third Child
Was Going To School
I Was Told Not To Sign Any Form
That A Child Brings
Into This House.
That Is A Low Trick.
Take Something I Said
And Use It Against Me.
Did You Lose The Case, Dear?
I Wish I Had Lost It.
At Least The Thing
Would Be Over With.
The Judge Needs
To Hear More Testimony
And See More Evidence.
That Means More Work For Me.
You Get To Rest This Weekend.
Not In This House.
Ask For Peace And Quiet
All You Get
Is Aggravation And Noise.
(Phone Rings)
Hello?
Ah, Hi, Sondra.
Yeah, She's Here.
What Do You Want?
No, I Don't Think So, Honey.
I Think This Is A Baaaad...
I'll Talk To Sondra.
Just Remember What I Said.
Hi, Sondra.
Oh, Honey, Thank You For Asking
How I Am.
You Are?
You And Elvin Are Going
To See That Play?
Oh, Yeah, That's A Good One.
I Read About It.
Yeah, But...
What?!
Now, Look.
I've Been In Court All Day,
And I've Not Slept For Nights.
The Last Thing I Need
Is To Baby-Sit
Two Little Yelling Twins.
No, I Will Not Baby-Sit
Those Twins!
Even When They Ask
How You Doing...
I Told You, Didn't I?
They Got Something
Up Their Sleeve.
They Don't Mean It.
I'm Going To Have
A Bad Day All Week.
Mess With Me
I'm Going To Have
A Bad Day All Year
And You Fools Up There
Better Get Out Of My Way.
I Came In And She Jumped At Me.
I Got To Go Around
And Count The Children--
See If They All Have Heads.
What's Happening?
We're Worried
About Mom.
Okay.
I'll Take Care Of It
From Here.
Okay.
Okay.
Tell Me Something.
How Often Do You All
Look Through This Keyhole?
Hardly Ever.
Later On We're Going
To Talk About
Some Of The Things You've Seen.
Okay.
All Right.
How You Feeling?
Tired.
Want To Talk?
I'm Too Tired To Talk.
Okay.
So, Cliff,
This Is What's Going On.
I Don't Think I Have Anything
Left To Give.
All Day Long I Give To Clients
At The Office
And When I Come Here
Everybody Expects Me
To Give For
Another Six Hours.
I Love Work And The Kids,
But After All These Years
I Don't Have Anything Left
To Give.
What Can I Give?
Nothing.
What Can Anybody Give, Honey?
This Is Just Life.
I Just Probably Need To Be Alone
And Have Some Peace And Quiet.
Yes.
Yes!
Yes!
Now Listen To Me.
There's A Surgeon
At The Hospital--
Doctor Zack.
This Man Is Always Talking About
A Place That He Goes To
In The Adirondacks.
There's A Central Building
And A Bunch Of Log Cabins
Around A Lake, Dear.
You Could Go There Now.
It Sounds Lovely.
It Is Lovely.
I'll Call Him.
He Knows About Trains.
I'll Put You On It.
You're On Your Way.
Adirondacks.
Log Cabin Overlooking The Lake.
Bingo!
Come Back Refreshed.
If I Spent A Day Here In Bed,
I'd Probably Be Fine.
You Can't Rest Here...
(Knocking)
Vanessa:
Mom, Are You Okay Now?
I Have SomethingVery Important To Ask You.
Dad, Is Mom In There?
You Ought To Know.
You're Looking Through
The Keyhole, Aren't You?
No, I'm Not.
Is She All Right?
You Ruined Her Life.
Okay.I'll Come Back Later.
Cliff?
Mm-Hmm?
Call Him.
I'm On The Horn.
(Singing:)
Go, Mom.
Go, Mom.
Go, Mom!
Go, Mom!
Go, Mom!
Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
Go! Go, Mom!
That Was A Good Movie.
That Movie Was Better Than
Those Old Black And White Things
You Make Us Watch.
It Was
A Black And White Thing.
They Colorized It.
Why Do You Think The Dalmatian
Was Pink With Brown Spots?
I Wonder If Mom
Got To The Lodge Okay.
Yeah, I Would Imagine So.
Let's Call Her
And Find Out.
Okay, We'll Call Her.
But Let Me
Tell You This.
This Will Be
The One And Only Call
Because Your Mother's
On Vacation.
Hold It Back
A Little More.
We'll Tell Her
How Much We Love Her
And Miss Her
And Good Night.
Good Evening.
Pine Ridge Lodge.
Mr. Bingham Speaking.
Yes, Mr. Bingham.
You Have A Guest There
By The Name Of
Mrs. Clair Huxtable.
May I Speak To Her, Please?
Huxtable.
Let Me See What We've Got Here.
Here We Are, Huxtable.
She Signed In On The Register
At : P.M. This Evening.
Lovely Penmanship.
I'm Afraid I Can't
Let You Speak To Her.
We Don't Call The Cabins
After : At Night.
You Can Call Back
After : A.M.
Would You Please Tell Her
That Her Children
And Her Husband
Said Good Night, Please?
I Won't Be Able To Tell Her That
Until After : A.M.
Wouldn't Make Much Sense
To Tell Her Good Night
Tomorrow Morning, Would It?
Good Night.
(g*nshots)
Hello?
Pine Ridge Lodge.
Mr. Bingham Speaking.
Mr. Bingham,
This Is Clair Huxtable.
I'm A Guest Here.
Oh, Yes, You're Up There
In Cabin .
I Want To Talk To You
About This Cabin .
There Is No Heat.
Oh, Yes.
Pipes Blew This Morning.
Yeah, Well,
The Window Blew, Too.
Got A Lot Of Fresh Air
Coming In, Have You?
Could You Send Somebody
Over Here To Fix This Place?
That Would Be Charlie.
Charlie. Fine.
Where Is He?
He Hasn't Come Back Yet
From Deer Hunting.
(g*nshots)
That's Charlie Now.
Sounds Like He's
Close To The Property.
I'd Stay Away From
Those Windows.
Do You Think
Mom's Up By Now?
Are You Kidding?
Your Mom Is Probably
So Invigorated.
She's Probably Up
Walking Around.
Good Morning.
Pine Ridge Lodge.
Mr. Bingham Speaking.
This Is Dr. Huxtable.
I Would Like To Speak
To My Wife, Please.
I'm Calling From New York City.
You Live In New York City,
Do You?
Yes, Sir.
The Big Apple.
The Big Apple.
You Haven't Seen A Big Apple
Until You've Seen The Kind
We Grow Up Here.
Yes, Sir.
I'm Really Anxious
To Talk To My Wife, Sir.
All Right.
(Ringing)
Hello.
Sweetheart.
♪ I Love You And How Are You? ♪
Cliff, I Want To Talk To You
About This Place.
Yes, And I Know
You Are Loving It.
No, I'm Not.
I Want To Come Home.
I Want Out Of Here Now.
Take A Train.
Do You Know When One Leaves?
Bingham:
Not Until : Tomorrow Morning.
Okay.
Bye-Bye, Honey.
Bingham:
Good-Bye.
Hi, Dr. Huxtable.
I See Someone's Ready For Bed.
Can I Ask You A Question?
Sure, You Can.
Thank You.
Why Did Mrs. Huxtable
Have To Leave Just Because
She Ate Too Much?
Who Said She Ate Too Much?
Rudy Said Mrs. Huxtable
Had To Leave
Because She Was Fed Up.
No, Fed Up Means
That If You're
Irritated About Some Things
You've Had Enough.
Oh, I've Been There.
You've Been There?
Yes, When People Tell Me
To Do Things
That I Don't Want To Do
That's When I Get Fed Up.
You Do?
Yes, But I Know
How To Take Care Of It.
How?
I Go To My Room
Put My Face Against The Window
And Blow Until It Gets Foggy.
I'll Tell Mrs. Huxtable
About That.
I Was Wondering
If You Could Help Me.
I Get Caught In Traffic
When I'm Driving
And I Get Fed Up.
I'm Tight And I'm Fed Up.
What Would You Do About That?
Let Me Think About It.
Aha!
Go Out And Dig A Hole.
Take The Dirt From The Hole,
Pour Water On It.
That Makes Mud.
You Know What To Do
With That Mud?
What?
Squish Your Hands In It.
If That Doesn't Make You
Feel Better
Take Your Shoes Off
And Step In It.
You'll Feel Like A New Man.
Hello.
Hey!
Look Who's Here.
Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.
Hi, Olivia.
You Look Awful.
I Know.
You Need To Step In Some Mud.
I Already Did.
Good Night.
What Are You
Doing Here?
I Thought The Train
Didn't Leave Until Tomorrow.
Cliff, Let Me Just Say
Thank You.
You're Welcome.
I Will Always Think Fondly
Of My Little Log Cabin.
As Much As
I Hated To Leave
My Little Wooded Paradise
I Convinced Mrs. Bingham
To Drive Me To
The Nearest Bus Station
Which Was Three Towns Away.
Listen, You're Home Now.
Your Husband's
Going To Go Upstairs
And Run A Hot Bath
For You.
Get Some Oil And Rub-A-Dub-Dub
Those Muscles.
All Right?
Thank You.
Yes, Indeed.
Come On.
Hi, Mom.
You Still Look Awful.
Oh, Really?
Tell That To
Your Father.
What Is This?
It's A History Paper
I'm Writing.
You're Not Fooling
With This At All.
In The Tub For Your Rub.
I've Been Away
For A Whole Day.
Are There Any Problems?
Yeah, But I Can't Tell You.
Dad Said I Couldn't
Bother You For A Week.
You Were Not Even Supposed
To Say That To Her.
Give Me This Paper.
See, There You Go Again.
You're Not Supposed To Do That.
It's All Right.
I Want To Do This.
"I Want To Do It"?
Not Long Ago,
You Were Up There:
"I Have Nothing To Give.
"Cliff, I Have Nothing To Give.
"It's All This Life Here.
"I Don't Know
How I Feel.
I Don't Have Nothing To Give."
Go Ahead And Give It Up, Sister.
