Who Is That Reading A Book
In The New Kitchen?

I'm Reading
This Blair Hudler Thriller

That You Finished Last Week.

Last Train To Leningrad.

Oh, Yes.

You Will Never
Guess The Ending.

See, What Happens...

I Don't Want
To Guess The Ending.

I Want To Read The Book.

Okay.

Enjoy.

Oh, Look Who's Here.

Well, Well.

We Weren't Expecting You.

Oh, You Know Me--
Just Being Whimsical.

I Thought It Would Be Nice

To See My Family
And Study At Home.

You Know How Crazy
Those Dorms Can Get.

We're Glad To Have You Home.

How's Dabnis?

Oh, Fine.

He Had To Stay On Campus

Because It's Vehicle
Maintenance Weekend--

Lube Jobs, Tire Rotations

That Kind Of Thing.

I Think I'll Get Started
On That Studying.

Kitchen Looks Great, Guys.

What Was That?

That's Your Daughter.

She Just Came Home
For The Whimsy Of It.

Talking About The Peace
And Quiet Of This Home

With Twin Four-Year-Olds
Acting Crazy

And A Kindergartner Questioning
Every Move You Make

Teenagers And Hordes Of Friends

Not To Mention
The Married Couple

Who's Always In Your Face.

It Makes Sense To Me.

To Study

You Have To Leave
The Countryside Of Pennsylvania

Come To A Place
Where You Can Concentrate--

New York City.

With The Wail Of The Sirens

And The Hooting
And The Whoop-Whooping

Of The Ambulances

And The Desperate Cry
Of Million Souls

Saying, "Hala-Hala-Hala..."

Something's Up, Cliff.

(Knocking)

Pray Tell,
Who Entereth Here?

Oh, Kenny, My Kenny.

Hi, Dr. Huxtable,
Mrs. Huxtable.

It's Been A While
Since We've Seen You.

I Know.

I've Been Busy.

So Have You.

You've Got It Going On Here.

Thank You, Kenny.

Rudy's Not Home Yet, Kenny.

I Thought I'd Wait For Her Here.

At School Yesterday,
Word Spread Like A Brush Fire--

Rudy Broke Up
With Her Alleged Boyfriend.

You're Talking About Stanley

The Fella You Chased Out Of Here
Six Weeks Ago

Which Is The Last Time
We Saw You.

That's The One.

Poor Rudy.

By The Way,
Where Is The Berevved?

The What?

The Bereaved.

Ah, What Strength--
To Shop Despite The Sorrow.

Hey, Kenny.

Hi, Vanessa.

Oh, Belated Congratulations
On Your Engagement.

Thank You.

Now Don't Blow This.

I Hear He's A Keeper.

Thank You Again, Kenny.

Mom, Dad,
I'm Going To The Mall With Kara.

I Thought You Came Home
To Study.

I Felt Like I Needed To Unwind
After My Train Trip.

Shopping Is Just What I Need.

If You See Rudy

Tell Her That Stanley
May Come And Go

But Kenny Is Forever.

Will Do, Kenny.

Why Did You Turn Your Back

When The Child Said
She Needed To Unwind?

I Have Nothing
To Do With That.

I'm Looking At My Herb Garden.

Excuse Me, Kenny.

Say, Uh, Brother Berevved...

I Want You To Help Me
Solve A Problem Here.

Sure, Dr. Huxtable.

Okay. The Past Six Weeks

We've Been Getting
Some Strange Phone Calls.

You Don't Say?

A Person Is Calling Up
With A Muffled Voice

Asking For Stanley,
And Then I Say, "Who Is This?"

They'd Hang Up.

Really?

It's A Shame How People
Abuse The Phone System.

Put Your Hand Over Your Mouth.

Now You Say To Me

"Is Stanley There?"

Is Stanley There?

You Know,
It's Probably That Stanley.

Stanley Is Calling?

That's Right.

And Asking For Himself?

That's Right.

So...

What Page You On Now?

Forty-Nine.

Whoo! Page .

So You Get To The Part Yet

Where Evil Nora
Falls Off The Cliff?

No, But Thank You
For Ruining It For Me.

I Haven't Ruined Anything.

All I'm Saying Is
When You Get To That Part

We Can Talk About It.

There Will Be Nothing
To Talk About.

You Just Said Nora d*ed.

I Didn't Say That She d*ed.

I Said She Fell
Off The Cliff.

But The Question Is, Is She Dead?

(Doorbell Rings)

(Clanking Sound)

That May Be She Now.

I Got To Fix The Doorbell Again.

Somebody Keeps Messing With It.

Dabnis, How Are You?

Dr. Huxtable.
Ms. Huxtable.

Well, Hello, Dabnis.

Is Vanessa Here?

She Was,
But She Went To The Mall.

I'll Wait In The Truck.

No, No, No.

How You Doing?

All Right, Sir.

Have A Sit Down There.

Have A Sit Down.

So, I Guess You Know
Why I'm Here.

No, We Don't Know
Why You're Here.

Oh, sh**t, Neither Do I.

I Was Hoping You Could Help.

How Can We Help You?

Well, Let Me Explain.

See, Early This Afternoon

After I Had Returned
From Home Builders Emporium

I Was Planning To Meet
Vanessa At The House.

I Went Home
And I Found This Note.

"Dear Dabnis,
Life's Road Sometimes Has Turns

"That Are Not
On One's Emotional Map.

"I've Decided
To Follow My Map

"To Reflect On The Prospects
Of Our Relationship.

"I Don't Know How Long
I'll Be Gone.

"Please Don't Try To Find Me.

"I'll Be In New York... City.

"I Feel The Need To Return
To My... Roots Of Simplicity.

Love As Always, Nessa."

What Does
"Roots Of Simplicity" Mean?

I Have No Idea.

I'm Trying To Figure Out
"Emotional Map."

I Don't Get It, Dr. Huxtable.

Since Receiving Your Blessing
Three Weeks Ago

Our Relationship Has Definitely
Reached A New Positive Level.

I'm Sorry, Dabnis.

We Can't Help You.

We Make It A Policy

Not To Interfere With
Our Children's Relationships.

It's A Good Policy.

It's Just Not Helping Me.

I'll Try To Find Her
At The Mall.

No, Son,
Don't Go Down To The Mall.

There Are Malls...

In This Naked City.

The Best Thing You Can Do
Is Just Sit Down And Wait.

She'll Be Back Sooner Or Later.

Well, If You Don't Mind.

You Can Go
In The Waiting Room With Kenny.

And Take A Look
At The Remodeled Kitchen.

Yes, Sir.

Go Ahead.

All Right.

Now, All I'm Saying

Is Take Note Of The Fact
That Evil Nora

Is Really A Man
In A Padded Suit Named Steve.

Out.

Out! Get Out!

Listen, Kenny

I Want You
To Meet Dabnis Brickey.

This Is Vanessa's Intended.

I'll Be Right Back.

Welcome To The Family.

Thank You, Kenny.

Nice To Meet You.

Who Are You?

You Might Say
I'm Rudy's Confidante

And A Friend Of The Huxtables
Near And Far.

So, Dabnis,
When's The Big Day?

Don't Know Yet.

You're Engaged
And You Don't Know

When You're Getting Married?

Sometimes That's How
These Things Work.

How Long Were You Dating
Before You Got Engaged?

Six Months. How Long
You've Been Dating Rudy?

We're Not Dating.

We're Best Friends.

I'm Here To Console Her

Since She Broke Up
With Mr. Wrong.

How Considerate.

It's Tough Being
A Girl's Best Friend

If She's Dating Somebody Else.

It Takes Character.

This Is True.

But Then Again,
Character Can Be A Burden.

Yeah, But You Got
The Better Relationship.

You Got Rudy For The Long Haul.

Oh, Yeah?

Yeah. A Good Relationship

Is Not Just Dating
And Holding Hands And Kissing.

It's About People Who
Mean Something To Each Other.

All Right. I Like That.

Listen, Dabnis

If You're Ever Having Trouble
With Vanessa

I'm In The Book.

Thanks, Kenny.

Oh, I See You Guys
Making Sandwiches, Huh?

Takes A Lot Of Fuel
To Wait For Your Daughters.

We Made Sandwiches For You
And Mrs. Huxtable.

Thank You.

I Got Something
For You.

Wow, Your Tool Belt.

No, No, That Is
Your Tool Belt.

Monogrammed Too.

You're In.

Now, Kenny, Mrs. Huxtable
Is Reading That Book

But She's Hiding
In The Dining Room.

I Want You To Take
This Sandwich To Her.

Okay.

Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait!

I Want You To Go Up To Her

When You Give Her
The Sandwich

And You Say, "Mrs. Huxtable,
Dr. Huxtable Said

'Consider The Words Evil Nora
Spelled Backwards

Are Aron Live.'"

What?

Just Say It.

Go Ahead.

Consider The Words
Spelled Backwards...

Evil Nora.

Spelled Backwards.

Evil Nora, Aron Live.

Spelled Backwards.

Evil Nora, Aron Live.

Here's Your Sandwich, Sir.

Hey!

Hi, Dabnis.

Hi, Nessa.

Oh, Boy...

So I Guess You Got My Note.

I Read Your Note Several Times.

Doesn't Mean I Got It.

I Don't Know What
Could Be More Clear, Dabnis.

I Said We Were On
Different Emotional Maps.

Oh, The Emotional Maps.

Let's Break This Up
Into Simple Pieces.

Did I Do Something Wrong?

I Knew You Were Going
To Take This Too Far.

Vanessa, You Left The State.

There's Got To Be A Reason.

Now Did I Do Something Wrong?

No, Not One Thing
In Particular...

There Was
The Ice Cream Incident.

What Ice Cream Incident?

Come On, Dabnis. Last Night?

We're Sitting In Front Of
The Television Eating Ice Cream

And I Said,
"Think I'll Have Another Scoop."

And What
Did You Say?

If I Recall, I Said,
"Not Me, I've Had Enough."

Exactly.

You Think I Don't Know
What You Meant By That?

It Meant I'd Had Enough.

What You Meant Was
I Had Had Enough.

You Were Trying To Control
My Dessert Portions.

Soon, You'll Be Trying
To Control My Entire Life.

If You Thought

I Was Trying To Control
Your Dessert Portions

Why Didn't You Say So
Last Night

Like I Said
I Thought I'd Had Enough?

What Did You Mean?

Oh, Don't Mind Me.

I'm Just Going
To Get My Sandwich.

He's A Keeper.

Dabnis, It's Not You, Okay?

It's Not Me.

I Don't Want To End Up
Like Denise.

How Did She Get Here?

That's The Point.

She's Not Here.

She's Trailing Her Husband
All Across Asia.

What Kind Of Life Is That?

A Great Life
For Denise And Martin.

Why Am I Talking
About These People?

I've Never Met Them.

Listen, Vanessa

It Is Not About Ice Cream
Or Salad Bars Or The Pacific Rim

It's About Us.

Let's Focus On Us.

Oops, I Forgot My Milk.

Vanessa:
Kenny, Go.

Vanessa, I Was Wrong.

Oh, Honey,
I Was Wrong Too.

I'm Sorry.

That's Not What I Meant.

If You Remember,
I Didn't Choose You.

You Think Back.

I Told You

I Thought It Was Wrong
To Get Involved With A Student

But You Chose Me,
And I Fell In Love With You.

I've Been Asking You
To Make Choices

That You Are Not
Equipped To Make

And That's Wrong.

Yes, It Was.

I'm Glad That's Settled.

No, Honey,
It's Not Settled.

Now You Have To Decide
If You Want To Be Married To Me.

Of Course I Want
To Be Married To You.

Okay. When?

When?

What Is It
With This "When" Question?

Isn't It Enough
I Said "To You"?

Now Is Not The Time
To Ask When, Sweetheart.

Vanessa, Why Don't You
Just Face The Fact?

You Are Scared.

Scared?

Scared?

Okay.

Okay, Maybe I Am Scared

But, Dabnis,
That Is Not Wrong, You Know?

I Am Getting Married.

Congratulations.

When?

Okay, Maybe I'm A Lot Scared.

Is That What You Want To Hear?

Yes, Honey, Yes.

You Need To Do
A Lot Of Thinking.

I Will...

But I Need You
To Be Patient With Me.

I'm Always Patient With You.

But I'm Not Going
To Chase You Anymore.

The Next Time You Run,
You Better Buy

A Round Trip Ticket.

Deal.

(Doorbell Rings)

(Clanking Sound)

I'll Get It.

Good Afternoon, Stanley.

Haven't Seen You Around Here
In A While.

Well, I'm Here Now.

Who Do You Wish To See?

Who Do You Think?

I Don't Know.

Maybe You're Here
To See Mrs. Huxtable

'Cause You
Got Legal Problems.

Maybe You're Here
To See Dr. Huxtable

'Cause You Got Medical Problems.

Maybe You're Just The Paper Boy.

I'm Not The Paper Boy,
But I've Got Some News.

Well, Come In.

Have A Seat.

So, Stan, You Ever Find Out

Who Kept Hiding Your Pants
After Gym Class?

No, It Never Bothered Me.

It Was Indian Summer.

You Ever Find Out

Who Glued Your Locker Door Shut?

Somebody Glued My Locker Shut?

I Didn't Notice.

Listen, Stanley

There's Something
I Want To Say To You.

I Don't Stand By
And Watch My Friends Get Hurt.

So If Your Intentions
Are To Yo-Yo Rudy Around

I'm Here To Cut The String.

Kenny, Can I Just Ask You This?

What Is Wrong With You?

You Don't Understand Friendship?

I Understand Friendship.

What I Don't Understand Is You.

But It's Becoming Clear.

You Want To Go Out With Rudy,
Don't You?

Stan, Stan, Stan...

You Just Don't Get It.

It's Not About Dating,
Holding Hands, Kissy-Face.

It's About Two People Who
Mean Something To Each Other.

And You're Not One Of Them.

You're Mad
'Cause I Aced You Out.

Stan, Stan, Stan...

Get On A Higher Plane.

It's Not About Competition.

I'm Not Competing With You
Over Rudy.

So When Rudy And I
Get Back Together

There Won't Be Any Problems.

If You And Rudy
Get Back Together.

I Have A Feeling We Will.

Oh... Hi, Kenny.

Hey, Old Friend.

Oh, Hi, Stanley.

Rudy, I Wanted To Apologize
For Our Fight.

Don't You Think
It's A Little Late For That?

Yeah!

See? I Told You, Stanley.

Rudy, Our Relationship

Isn't Just About Dating,
Holding Hands, Kissy-Face.

It's About Two People Who
Feel Something For Each Other.

Oh, Stanley...

Hey, Hey, Hey!

Stanley

I Was Going Out
For Frozen Yogurt.

Want To Come?

I'd Love To.

Rudy, I'd Like You
To Know Something.

Yes, Kenny?

Me And Stanley
Worked Out Our Differences.

We've Become Fast Friends.

I'm Really Glad.

Yeah, Me Too.

So Am I.

Let's Go.

Friends?

Did You Enjoy
Your Lunch?

Better Than I Enjoyed My Book.

Well, We're All
Straightened Out Here.

Dabnis:
We Appreciate Your Hospitality.

Next Time We Come

We Won't Be Using
An Emotional Map To Get Here.

(Testy Laughter)

Bye, Dad.

Bye-Bye.

Drive Safely.

We Will.

I'll Take That.

See You Later.

Thanks Again.

Now Tell The Truth.

What Do You Think Is Going
To Happen With Those Two?

Don't Dust Off My Tuxedo.

Well, Whether They Marry Or Not,
Dabnis Is Good For Vanessa.

He Is So Down To Earth.

Probably The Only One
Who Can Tunnel Through Her Mind.

Yes, But Will He Be Able
To Get Out?

A Reformed Assassin

But It's Too Late,
He's Already In Love.

Is She Reformed?
