Posted: 05/16/23 21:01
So, Ted, I Can Count On You
And Your Musicians
To Be Here Saturday At : ,
On Time.
Thank You.
All Right.
Got It All Together.

(Everyone Laughing)
Hey, Dad, Let Me
Ask You A Question?
Have You And Mom
Figured Out
What You're Going To Do
For Your Anniversary?
We Certainly Have.
We Are Going
To Spend The Time
With Each Other Going Back
To The Old Days.
You See, A Long Time Ago
Mrs. Huxtable And I--
On Our Honeymoon--
Went To A Clean,
But Shabby, Little Restaurant
Called The Callaloo Pot.
You Mean You're Taking Her Back
To A Shabby, Little Restaurant?
The Callaloo Pot Closed
A Long, Long Time Ago.
I'm Going To Bring
The Callaloo Pot Here
Along With A Live Calypso Band.
How Are You Going To Do That?
I Called
The Restaurant Association
And I Found
The Name Of The Cook.
He Said
He'd Be Happy
To Come To The House And Cook.
The Band Is Coming Over
And There You Have It.
I Got It.
You Provide The Food And Music
We'll Provide The Atmosphere.
You Can Do That
And I'll Tell You Exactly How--
By Clearing Out.
Dad, Listen,
You Don't Understand.
Dad, We Can Redecorate
The Dining Room
To Look Like
The Callaloo Pot.
I Got The b*at.
I Grew Up With West Indians.
Please, Dad?
Come On, Please?
No! No...
Because The First Thing
You Will Do
Is Start A Project
And Leave Something
Hanging In The Middle.
Dad, Dad, Listen...
"Oh, Dad, Dad, Dad!"
No, You've Said
That To Me.
I've Been Suckered
Into This
Many, Many Times.
This Will Be Our Gift
To You And Mom.
Yes, I've Seen And Heard
These Gifts.
Dad, Not Only Will We
Deliver To You
A Quality Callaloo Pot
We Will Do It Complete
And On Time
Using Very Little Money.
Come On.
Okay, You Know What?
Look, Upstairs I Have A Picture
Of Your Mother And Me
In That Restaurant.
I'll Let You Have The Picture.
You Try To Duplicate It.
We'll Make This
A Perfect Anniversary Dinner.
You Got It.
All Right,
Callaloo Pot.
This Is Not
Just For Me
This Is For
Your Mother.
You Got It .
Ahh-Ha!
My Anniversary Bride.
Happy Anniversary, Dear.
I'm Very Sorry, Sir
But I'm Already Married
To A Very Well-Established Shelf
Of Law Books.
Go On Out And Keep Going
And Don't Come Back Here
Until After Work.
Don't Dare Try
To Circle The Block
And See What I'm Preparing
For You.
You Are The Best
You Are The Sweetest
And The Cutest Too.
Now Give Me A Hint.
I've Been Hiding This
But I'm Covering
These Walls
With Blow-Ups Of You
When You Were A Baby.
And Then
For Entertainment
I'm Going To Tell Them
Your Age.
Now That's Enough, Now.
Yes.
And Then...
That's Quite All Right.
You Asked.
Good-Bye.
I Know Everything
I Need To Know.
(Coughing)
(Doorbell Ringing)
(Clearing Throat)
Mr. Atkins,
How Are You, Sir?
Dr. Huxtable?
Yes.
Good To See You
After Years.
Yes.
Too Bad I Didn't
Know You Then.
Well, I Know Your Cooking
And You Just
Come Right On...
And This Is
The Kitchen.
A Good Customer
Is Like Spices--
They're Many And Varied
But Without Them
You're Out Of Business.
Well, Here It Is.
Ahhh!
What Do You Think?
What A Beautiful Place
To Create.
Ah! The Sauces, The Aromas
The Succulent Juices
That Will Flow From Here.
Yes, Indeed.
No Microwave?
Uh, No...
No, We Don't Have One.
Desirable, But Not Crucial.
Now, Let Us Talk About The Menu
Then I Shall Go Shop.
First, I Want You To Fix For Me
And My Wife...
Conch Fritters.
Ah, Yes. Conch--
The Most Delectable
But No Longer Fashionable
Of Shellfish.
But If You Must
I Could Puree The Conch
With A Colorful Array
Of Spring Vegetables
And Blacken Them
In Cajun Spices.
I Don't Think So.
I'm Talking About Conch Fritters
That You Would Take
And Roll The Conch In The Filler
And Then Dip Them
Into The Grease
And Fritterize Them.
Please.
Now What Did You Have In Mind
For The Second Course?
Callaloo Soup.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
We'll Need Some
Dashin Bush
Okra, Coconut Water,
A Pesto Sauce...
Pesto Sauce?
And A Dollop
Of Raspberry Tofu Mousse.
Don't Write That Down.
I Think You And I Are Having
A Communications Problem.
I Want The Food
That You Cooked
At The Callaloo Pot
Years Ago.
You Mean Years Ago
When You Had...
Salt Fish And Ackee.
Hah! Now You're Talking!
Jerk Chicken
And Mountain Goat.
I Don't Do That No More.
You Don't Do That No More?
No, Doctor.
That Is Like
Asking Michelangelo
To Paint The Floor...
Christopher Columbus
To Drive
The Staten Island Ferry.
Those People Are Dead!
I'm Asking You
To Give Me Simple
Caribbean Food
That My Wife And I
Enjoyed...
Years Ago.
There You Go.
Dr. Huxtable,
You Can't Go Home Again.
I'm Already Home.
Well, I'm On My Way
To My Home.
You Can thr*aten
The Stove
But You Can't thr*aten Me.
Contract Is Broken.
I Hope You Don't Expect Me
To Give You Any Money.
Well, Dr. Huxtable
I Feel The Breeze Of Compromise
Blowing Us Together.
(Doorbell Ringing)
Good Afternoon,
Dr. Huxtable.
You're The Musicians.
Yes, We Are.
Nice To Meet...
You Fellows Are Early.
Yes, We Had Many Subways
And We Want To Make Sure
We Have Plenty Of Time.
You're Two Hours Early.
Well, That's Plenty Of Time.
You Want Us
To Wait Outside?
No, Make Yourselves
Comfortable.
Olivia, This Is Ted
And The Trinidadians.
Hello.
I'll Be With You
In A Minute.
How We Doing, Mr. Atkins?
I'm Doing Extremely Well
Considering
The Creative Constraints.
Knowing You'll Pay Me In Cash
Provides Additional Motivation.
I Just Hope That We're Singing
The Same Caribbean Tune.
We Are.
We Are
In Perfect Harmony, Doctor.
Are We, Mr. Atkins?
Tofu?
Yes-- Tofu.
I Use It As Garnish.
Off-White Goes With Everything.
You'll Never Taste It.
We Had An Agreement, Mr. Atkins.
And We Still Do, Sir.
In Fact, I Take It
As A Personal Challenge
To Make All Food Blossom.
I Want You
To Cook The Food
That Tastes
Like The Food
My Wife And I Had
At The Callaloo Pot...
Years Ago.
If You Can Remember The Year,
Why Can't You
Remember The Recipe?
Please, Tofu-Less.
Tofu-Less.
(Playing Calypso Music)
Hold It, Hold It, Fellows.
Take Five, Will You?
I Always Wanted
To Say That.
(Coughing)
You Said It Good, Dad.
That Sounds Great.
Happy Anniversary.
This Is From Sondra And Me.
Thank You, Son.
I Really Appreciate It.
You Don't Look Good.
Your Eyes Are
Red And Puffy.
You Got Swollen Glands.
Look, More Importantly,
Do Me A Favor.
What?
I've Got A Chef
In The Kitchen.
He Cooked For Us
Years Ago.
You Know Caribbean Food.
I Grew Up On It.
Keep An Eye On This Man.
He Wants To Put Tofu
In My Food
And I Don't Know
In What Else
But He Keeps Talking
About Things Blossoming.
You Want Me To Watch Him?
Yeah.
Don't Worry
About It.
It Sounds Great, Guys.
(Playing Calypso Music)
Say, Fellows
Why Don't You Save That
For The Evening?
No.
Well, I'm Not Paying You
By The Hour.
Callaloo.
That Smells Fantastic.
What Did You Say
Was In There?
I Didn't... But I Will.
Dashin Bush, Okra,
Coconut Water, Mirabelles.
Sounds Great.
Mr. Atkins, Was That Tofu
You Put In There?
Yes-- Tofu.
Tofu In Callaloo.
That's Interesting
'Cause I've Never
Had That Myself
But, You Know,
It Could Be Good.
It Could Be
Quite Good, Actually.
(Garbage Disposal Grinding)
Anyway, Smells Great.
Is That A Kiwi?
Yes-- A Kiwi.
A Kiwi In The Callaloo?
Yes.
The Whole Thing?
With The Fur?
It's The Best Part.
Who Knows?
I Mean, That Could Work.
I Mean, Kiwi In Callaloo...
No, I've Never Had It
But Then Again,
It's, You Know...
Limited Experience...
You Could Be Right.
(Garbage Disposal Grinding)
What Was That?
Oh, It's Garbage.
Elvin, You Don't
Have To Pick.
There Will Be Ample
To Sample When I'm Done.
Ah, The Callaloo Pot,
Just As I Remember It--
So Full Of Atmosphere
So Empty Of Customers.
How Is Everything Going?
Dr. Huxtable...
My Callaloo.
Smells Like It.
Looks Like It.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.
Callaloo.

Fellows, Do Me A Favor.
Mrs. Huxtable Is Coming
In About To Minutes.
I Want You To Take Everything
Over To The Callaloo Pot Now.
Can You Do That?
Yes.
Okay...
(Three Huge Sneezes)
Wait For Me.
What I Will Do Is
I Will Then Signal You
And Then You Will
Start To Play.
Can You Do That?

I'm Sorry.
Don't Be Sorry.
I'm Sorry.
And The Children...
The Children Worked So Hard
To Fix Up
The Dining Room For You.
It Looks Just Like
The Callaloo Pot.
I'm Sorry, Honey.
Happy Anniversary.
Yes, To You Too.

Get Some Covers On You.
Thank You.
