The Cosby Show

Uh-Huh.

Uh-Huh.

Sondra, Elvin Only Said That Because He Was Upset.

What Did You Say To Him?

Sounds Like You Were Upset, Too.

Honey, You Had A Fight.

Don't Worry About That.

Married Couples Have Fights.

If You Want To Talk About This, We'll Be Here.

Yeah.

I Love You, Too.

Bye-Bye.

Sondra And Elvin Had A Fight?

Yeah.

The First Fight.

That Brings Back Memories.

You Make That Sound Like Those Are Happy Memories.

No, It Was Silly.

At The Time, We Were Pretty Shaken Up.

How's Sondra Taking It?

She's Pretty Shaken Up.

Elvin Went For A Walk And He's Been Gone An Hour.

Cliff, This Is Elvin.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Dad.

I Was Taking A Walk.

Beautiful Day.

A Day Like This

You Can Walk Your Troubles Away--

Not That I Have Any.

Everything's Going Well?

Absolutely.

Life Is Great.

I Sang All The Way Here.

Sondra Called.

We Had Such A Terrible Fight!

It Was A Blowout.

Our Whole Relationship's Over-- Gone Forever.

Get Ahold Of Yourself.

Elvin, Everything Will Be All Right.

It Was Over Such A Stupid Thing, Too.

I've Been Working Every Night At The Wilderness Store

And It Was My Turn To Do The Dishes.

I Said To Sondra:

"Sondra, Could You Please Do Them For Me?

I'm So Tired, Honey."

She Said, "I Work A Double Shift At The Restaurant.

I'm Tired, Too."

I Said, "You're Probably Not As Tired As I Am."

She Said, "Yes, I Am." I Said, "No, You're Not."

Anyway, Dad, We Were Fighting Over Who Was More Tired.

One Thing Led To Another, And, Finally, She Said:

"I Should Have Listened To My Parents.

"When We Were Dating

They Said I Should Find Someone Else."

That Can't Be True, Can It?

Elvin, Wait A Minute.

Leave That Jacket Where It Is.

When You And Sondra First Started Going Out

You Weren't Getting Along That Well.

So We Suggested

That Maybe She Should Explore Other Possibilities.

Since You And Elvin Have Broken Up

Take This Opportunity To Call Somebody Else.

There Is No One Else.

There Is Someone Else

Who's Intelligent With A Good Sense Of Humor.

I Can't Think Of Anyone.

Don't Your Friends Know About Somebody?

There Is This Guy My Friends Say I Should Meet.

Call Him.

But, Daddy...

Call Him!

But He Goes To Oberlin In Ohio.

We'll Fly Him In.

He Is From New York.

Then He May Be Home This Weekend, So Call Him.

No, I'll Have To Think About This.

Call This Boy!

Get His Number And Call Him

And Tell Him You're Sorry You Waited So Long...

She Doesn't Know Him...

I Don't Care.

Call Him!

Sondra, Call The Boy.

Please!

Of Course, She Never Called Him.

She Did?

She Never Told Me About Him.

It Was Only One Date.

Cliff Invited Him To Dinner.

Dad!

The Boy Looked Hungry.

It's A Lucky Thing You Were On Your Way To Pick Up Sondra.

Dr. Huxtable, Thank You For Having Me Over.

You Have A Terrific Family.

Yeah. Darryl, You're Failing.

Failing?

With Sondra.

You're Not Moving Fast Enough!

Excuse Me?

You're Supposed To Be Talking To My Daughter.

Don't You Like Her?

From What I've Known Of Her The Last Five Hours...

She's Wonderful.

Very Bright, Attractive...

Then Tell Her That!

Dr. Huxtable, It Is A Little Awkward.

This Is Our First Date

And The Whole Family Has Been Around Us.

It's Really Not My Style.

I'm More Of A Slow Mover.

You Don't Have Time!

Why Not?

Because He's Coming.

Who's Coming?

Elvin!

Who's Elvin?

Elvin Is The Fellow That She Likes.

Oh.

Then Why Am I Here?

Because You're The Fellow I Like.

Dad, How Could You Do That To Me?

Different Time, Different Elvin.

That's Right.

When You First Started Coming Over Here

I Had A Problem With Your Personal Philosophies.

Like What?

Remember When I Offered You Some Coffee?

Would You Like Coffee?

Coffee?

Yeah, Coffee.

You're Going To Get It?

Yes. You're Surprised?

I Didn't Think You Did That Kind Of Thing.

What Kind Of Thing?

You Know... Serve.

Serve Whom?

Serve Him.

Clair: Oh, Serve Him!

As In "Serve Your Man"?

Yeah.

Let Me Tell You Something, Elvin.

I Am Not Serving Dr. Huxtable, Okay?

That Stuff Goes On In A Restaurant.

I'll Bring Him Coffee

Just Like He Brought Me Coffee This Morning

And That Is What Marriage Is Made Of--

Give And Take, Fifty-Fifty.

And If You Don't Drop These Macho Attitudes

You'll Never Have Anybody Bringing You Anything Ever.

Now... What Would You Like In Your Coffee?

Maybe I Could Get You Some Coffee.

Sorry, Elvin, But You Deserved It.

You're One Of The More Normal Boyfriends We've Met.

Some Others Have Been Strange.

I See You're Watching The All-Music Station.

You're Into Reggae, Huh?

Yeah.

I Don't Believe In Grades.

You, Too?

Usually, People Who Don't Believe In Grades

Do So Because Of The Grades They're Getting.

I Get All "A"S.

But What Is An "A"?

What Does It Really Mean?

Yeah!

I've Been Reading Socrates, And He Believed

That True Learning Comes From Just Observing The World.

Where Can I Get That Book?

You Don't Read, Son.

Maybe There's A Movie About It.

Clair?

Yes.

Did You Tell Denise She Could Go Out Tonight?

Yes, I Did.

Have You Seen The Boy?

Yes, I Have.

How Ugly Is He?

Hey!

Hey!

How You Doing? How Are You?

Having Four Daughters Keeps A Father Busy.

Especially If You're Like Cliff.

He's Always Seen Himself As His Daughters' Protector.

Face It, Cliff, You Are Rough.

I Am Not That Rough.

What Are You?

The Way I See It

I'm Like "Old Yeller."

You Know That Movie

Where The Dog Protected The Home?
