07x01 - Same Time Next Year

[bunniefuu]

Fresh-Squeezed Orange Juice
For My Lady.

Thank You.

To Celebrate The Most
Important Day Of The Year.

Both:
The First Day Of School.

We Have Survived
Yet Another Summer.

Yes.

No More Friends Of Our Children
Running Through Our House

Going Into Our Refrigerator
Like Locusts

Leaving Nothing
For You Or For Me

Except A Box
Of Arm And Hammer.

No More Little Children
Hiding In Fireplaces

Breaking Things And Then Saying

"I'm Sorry, I Have No Money."

No More, I Tell You.

Pretty Soon,
This Will All Be Behind Us

Because They're Getting Out!

Yes, And You And I
Will Be Here

To Smell Our Own House.

You Asked Me To Help...

Yes!

Here They Come!

Look At That!

And Once Again,
Our Children

Are Forced To Leave The House,
Whether They Want To Or Not.

Everybody Goes!

And Look At This One Here--

So Enthused,
So Excited--

Who Went To Summer School
To Graduate Early

So She Could Go
To Lincoln University.

Get The Rest
Of The Stuff.

Hurry. Everybody Goes.

Ah, Look At The Pace
Of This One.

A Slower One

But Still Has To Go.

Ha-Ha!

Are Your Summer Clothes
Packed Away?

Mom, I Have Enough On My Mind.

I'm Starting Sixth Grade.

What Is Wrong With Her?

There's Nothing Wrong.

They've Got A Union.

"If We Look
Like This

"Opening Day Of School

Maybe The Parents
Will Go Cancel The School Out

And We Won't
Have To Go."

We Know We're Tired Of Them.

Well, I'm Ready.

Yes!

Our Daughter,
Off To Lincoln University.

♪ Get It Off, Get It Off,
There You Go, Vanessa ♪

♪ There You Go, Pow, Pow ♪

♪ There You Go, Vanessa. ♪

Mom, I Just Said Good-Bye
To Rudy And Denise And Olivia.

Isn't This Sad, Me Going Away?

Yeah!

Dad, All The Way
To Pennsylvania.

She's Afraid
She'll Be Lonely, Cliff.

We Gave You A List Of Relatives
This Long.

Call People And Say,
"I'm Lonely.

Please Cook Me Something."

Your Cousin Thornhill

Loves To Cook.

We Sent Him A Wok For Christmas.

You Love Chinese Food.

He's Got A Wok,
He Loves To Cook.

Call Him Up.

Say, "Cousin Thornhill,
Get Out The Wok!"

(Car Horn Honking)

That's Beth.

Yes!

We're Coming With The Bags.

I Didn't Get To Say
Good-Bye To Theo.

I'm Sorry, Honey.

Theo Was Supposed To Get Back
From Europe Today.

He'll Call You
As Soon As He Can.

Listen, I Know You're A Little
Nervous About Leaving Home

But You'll Do Just Fine
At Lincoln.

You Think So?

Honey, I Know It.

I'm Going To Miss You.

I'll Miss You Too.

Hey, College Girl.

I Can't Believe It.

Have A Good Time.

Thank You.

The Car Is Running Out Of Gas.

All Right, I'm Going,
I'm Going.

Do You Need Money?

Take This Just In Case.

All Right.

Bye.

Bye, Vanessa.

All Right.

Hey, You!

Number Two.

Next College Person.

Medgar Evers.

Out The Door.

Yes, I'm Looking Forward To It.

No, You're Not Looking Forward
Anymore.

We're Walking Forward.

Dad, I've Been Doing
Some Thinking.

Oh, Please Don't Think, Dear.

I Won't Get To School Today.

Why Not?

It's Olivia.

Olivia.

Today Is Her First Day
Of Preschool.

Remember My First Day?

You Guys Were With Me
The Whole Day.

I've Given This
Some Thought.

I Know That If I Drop Her Off

She'll Cry
From The Moment I Leave

Until I Come Back And Get Her.

This Could Scar Her For Life.

Denise, Just Point Me
In The Direction Of That School

And I Am Out Of Here.

Let's Go.

Excuse Me,
Miss I'm-Out-Of-Here.

Do You Think You Have Time
For Some Breakfast?

Can I Have Breakfast At School?

No, You'll Eat In The Kitchen.

Okay, But Let's Get A Move On.

Okay, She Doesn't Need Me.

She Could Probably Get A Job
And An Apartment.

Next Time Tell Her
To Take You With Her.

Ha Ha Ha.

All Right!

Let's Move It, Mopey.

Can You Please Give Me A Chance
To Get My Stuff Together?

I'm Sorry.

I Lost My Head.

She's Acting Awfully Funny
This Morning.

She's Starting The Sixth Grade.

She's Just Nervous.

All Ready For
Preschool, Huh?

Yeah!

Why Are You So Excited
About Preschool?

Well, You Read And You Write
And You Get Smart.

But You Also Have Some Fun.

You Play Games, Huh?

Sometimes.

But Not Little Kids' Games
Anymore.

Big People's Games.

Like What?

Poker!

You Play Poker In Preschool?

Yeah, That's Right.

And You Must Think
That This Is A Lot Of Fun.

It Is, Except For One Thing.

What's That?

Naps.

What's Wrong With Naps?

Naps Are For Old People.

I'm Young And I'm Up.

But You Have To Understand.

Naps Are Good
And Healthy For You.

Not If You're Not Sleepy.

You See, Dr. Huxtable

They Say Close Your Eyes
And Go To Sleep.

Right.

I Close My Eyes

And I Lay There
And Nothing Happens.

And When I Finally Do
Fall Asleep

They Wake Me Up Again.

I See.

Dad, Rudy Says
She's Not Going To School.

Something About Her Glands.

She Doesn't Need Glands
To Go To School.

She Needs Books.

Hurry Up And Finish
Your Cereal.

Okay, Here We Go.

I Don't Feel Good.

I Don't Think
I Can Go To School Today.

What's The Matter?

My Glands.

Your Glands Don't Feel
Swollen, Honey.

That's The Problem.

I Think They Shrunk.

Just Say "Ah."

Everything Looks Okay.

I Knew It.

They Shrunk So Much,
Now They're Gone.

You Know What's Good
For Shrunken, Gone Glands?

Get Up And Go To School.

Dad, There's Nothing Wrong
With My Glands.

I Have An Even Bigger Problem.

Let's Talk About It.

This Is Woman Stuff.

I Need Mom For This.

I'm A Gynecologist.

You Want To Talk To A Lawyer.

Look, Sometimes
If There's Something Difficult

That A Person
Can't Really Get Out

If They Whisper It,
They Feel A Little Better.

We'll Keep It Between Us,
And Nobody Else Will Know.

All Right.

Yeah.

Now Tell Me What It Is.

Don't Worry About That.

Some Girls Develop Them
Later Than Others.

But What If I Don't
Develop Them At All?

But You Will.

When?

When?

Well, I Don't Know.

But Dad, I Waited All Summer
For Them.

You See, Some People
Don't Get Summer Ones.

They Get The Ones...

And I Have Heard That
The Fall Ones Are Much Better.

But Dad, Look At Me.

I'm A Sixth Grader
In A Fifth Grader's Body.

There's Something Perhaps
The Two Of Us Can Share.

There Was A Boy
In Our Class.

Sixth Grade, Had A Moustache.

And Man,
I Just Admired That So Much.

I Wanted A Moustache

And My Little Bald Upper Lip
Was Just Shining Out There.

And He Had A Comb.

He Would Comb It.

Sometimes He Would Trim It
Till It Was Real Thin.

Sometimes He'd Let It Go,
And He'd Drink Milk

And It Was Still
Around His Mouth.

My Milk Fell
In My Mouth.

But Then I Developed Something

That This Guy With The Moustache
Didn't Have

And The Others Didn't Have.

What?

One Day, I Did An Imitation

Of Our Vice-Principal,
Mrs. Mars

And All The Girls Loved It.

And It Was Something That
That Guy Couldn't Do.

Mrs. Mars, She Talked Like This:

(Deep Voice:)
Huxtable.

Huxtable, I Want You
To Put On Your Thinking Cap.

Dad, You're Funny.

Yeah, Well,
Thank You.

So The Two Of Us
Have Something In Common.

But Dad,
I Don't Want A Moustache.

Somehow You Missed The Point.

My Point Is
It Doesn't Make Any Difference.

You See, What It Is
Is Your Personality.

I Tell You,
And Not Because I'm Your Father

But When You Smile,
You Can Light Up A Room.

You Have A Great Brain,
Great Smile.

Look, The Smile Makes Me Smile.

I Was Depressed
Until You Smiled.

If You Go Outside And Smile,
And The Bus Goes By

I Bet You The Bus Will Smile.

Look At You.

(Deep Voice:)
Let's Go.

Yes, Sir.

Here We Go.

Here We Go.

Get Your Stuff.

And Tell It Like It Is.

Tell It Like It Is.

Out The Door.

Cliff:
Huxtable.

Rudy:
Huxtable.

What Are You Doing?

Get Your Homework Done.

Get Your Homework Done.

Tell It Like It Is.

Tell It Like It Is.

What Is The Matter, Rudy?

She's , Going On

Hoping For Right Now,
If You Know What I Mean.

(Doorbell Rings)

Hit It!

Hey!

Hi, Margie.

Hi, Rudy.

Did You Have
A Good Summer?

Sorry, Margie.

I'm Not Going To School Today.

My Glands Are Bothering Me.

What Are We Going To Do?

We've Been
Through This Before

With Sondra,
Denise And Vanessa.

What Did We Do?

It Was So Long Ago, I Forgot.

You Ought To Write
These Things Down

So You Know What To Do...

(Doorbell Rings)

Amy, Hello.

Hi, Mrs. Huxtable.

Rudy Is Upstairs
In Her Room, But...

Rudy Called.

There's An Emergency.

She's Expecting Me.

Oh.

Okay.

Amy, Did You Bring It?

This Is It.

One Of The Great
Medical Discoveries

Of The th Century.

"Lady Rondell's Cream
For Bust Enhancement.

Guaranteed Results In Hours
Or Your Money Back."

You Know It Works
When They Say

They'll Give You
Your Money Back.

And Here's Proof:

Before And After.

Whoa.

You Probably Won't Look
Like That In Two Days.

How Long Have You Used It?

I Got It In The Mail Yesterday

But I Can Feel It
Kicking In Already.

What Do You Think
They're Doing?

I Think Amy's Convincing Rudy
To Go To School.

Bye, Dr. And Mrs. Huxtable.

The Emergency's Over.

Amy, Thank You So Much

For Stopping By
On Your Way To School.

You're Welcome.

Mom, Dad, Can I Ask
You Guys A Favor?

What Is It?

Do You Mind
If I Don't Go To School

For Hours?

Rudy, You Have To Go
To School Today. Now.

Please, Mom,
Just Till Wednesday.

What Is Important
About Wednesday?

On Wednesday,
All My Troubles Will Be Over.

All Right, Young Lady,
Sit Down Here.

Now What Is This About?

Promise
You Won't Laugh?

We Won't.
What Is It?

This.

Lady Rondell's Cream
For Bust Enhancement?

In Hours, I'll Be A Woman.

Rudy, That Is Not
Possible, Honey.

Development Is A Natural,
Biological Process.

I Knew You Wouldn't Want Me
To Use It.

Maybe I Shouldn't
Have Done That.

It Might Make My Nose Grow.

I'm A Doctor, Honey.

Trust Me.

There's Nothing In Here That
Is Going To Enhance Anything.

You Could Get The Same Results

Putting Mayonnaise
On Your Chest.

You're Just Saying That

Because You Want Me To Be
Your Little Girl Forever.

But I'm Not
A Little Girl Anymore.

Rudy?

Yes.

Rudy.

Honey, Nothing Is Going
To Change About You

In Two Days.

You Get What You'll Get
When You Get It.

Mom, Can't We Just Wait And See?

Oh, Baby, I Know
What You're Going Through.

How Could You?

You Got Them Already.

But I Wasn't Born With Them.

I Went Through The Same Thing.

So Did Your Sisters.

You Should See Some Of The Stuff

That Has Come
Through This House.

Sondra Had Blossom's
Bust Booster.

Denise Showed Up
With Dr. Jim's Growth Capsules.

And Vanessa Had The Best Of All:

Bailey's Bust-O-Matic.

The Thing Looked Like
Two Plungers On A Power Cord.

And She Was About To Plug It In
And Shock Her Chest.

But Mom, The Stuff In The Jar
Really Works

Or They'll Give You
Your Money Back.

You Better Get Your Money Back
Because You Heard Your Father.

I Can't Go To School.

The Boys Will Laugh At Me.

They'll Laugh If You Get Them
And If You Don't.

And You Know Why?

Because That's How Boys Are
At This Age.

They're Just Dumb.

That's Not Your Problem.

It's Theirs.

It Is?

Yes.

So Now What Are You
Going To Do?

Are You Going To Go
To School

Or Do I Have To Write A Note
To Your Principal Saying

"Please Excuse Rudith Lillian
Huxtable From School Today.

She's Waiting
For Her Breasts To Arrive"?

Well?

I Guess
This Is What They Mean

When They Say
Growing Up's Tough.

I Guess.

Clair:
Cliff.

La-Da.

Hasn't This Been A Nice Day?

Ever Since Rudy
Left For School

It's Been Heavenly.

Aren't You Happy

You Decided To Work
At Home Today?

Thank You Very Much.

Yes, Indeed.

It's Official.

We Have Taken
The House Back.

Mmm... Yes.

Would You Like Some Tea?

You Know
I Don't Want Any Tea.

Mmm.
Mmm.

That's The First Time
In A Long Time

I've Heard You Go "Mmm."

Mmm.
Mmm.

Mom, Dad.

It's So Good

To Be Home.

Oh, You Guys,
I Just Saw All Of Europe

In Days.

Everything Was A Blur.

What Did You See?

We Saw...

We Saw Westminster Abbey.

We Saw The Louvre.

Saw The Leaning
Tower Of Pisa.

The Bus Let Us Off For That One.

Everybody Got Out And Said,
"Oh, It Really Leans."

And The Tour Guide Said,
"Time To Get Back On The Bus."

But I Got You Guys A Gift.

Oh, Really?

Here You Go.

Thank You.

Matching Wristwatches.

Thank You.

Those Have
Genuine Swiss Movement.

Really?

Son, They're Kind Of Light.

That's Because The Parts
Aren't Inside.

The Guy I Bought Those From
Is Smart.

They Can't Charge Duty
For Just The Case

So What He Does
Is Mail The Insides Later.

Well, That's, Um...

That's Very Thoughtful
Of You, Son.

You Look Tired.

And Confused.

Well, I Am.

But I'm Also Hungry.

After All Those Heavy,
Rich Sauces

I Just Want Some
Plain American Food.

Jersey Corn, Wisconsin Cheese

Idaho Potatoes, Florida Oranges.

God Bless America.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

How Was Your First Day
Of School?

Fine.

Come Back Here.

Please.

How Was Your First Day
Of School?

"Fine."

All You Can Say Is "Fine"?

You Know, Teachers, Students

First Day Of School, Books.

This Morning,
We Weren't Going To School

Because There
Was A Disaster.

What Happened?

It's Like What Mom Said.

"You Get What You Get
When You Get It."

And A Lot Of Us
Haven't Got Them Yet.
