The Cosby Show

I Don't Believe It.

Mom, I'm Not Thrilled About This Either.

But Clair, Football?

She Went To Some Games

And Decided She Wants To Try It.

I Never Thought I'd See The Day.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, Grandma.

Oh, Rudy, Come Here.

Let Grandma Take That Thing Off

And Give You A Kiss.

Cliff.

Hi, Mom.

Mom, She's Amazing!

She Was Okay.

Okay?

The Coach Put Her In The Starting Lineup.

She's Okay.

Are You Okay?

I'm Fine.

Want To See Me Play?

Rudy, Do You Want To Play Again?

Yeah.

Mom, Rudy Has So Much Padding

She'd Never Get Hurt.

Besides, She's So Quick, No One Would Get Her.

She's Okay.

Rudy, Why Don't You Take A Bath.

Okay.

Come On, Kiddo.

I'll Help You With Your Pads.

So Rudy Did Well?

She's Okay.

Why Don't You Let It Out?

Let It What-It Out-It?

You Know You Are Dying To Tell Us

How Great Rudy Was Today.

Naw.

Please, Cliff.

If You Don't, You're Going To Explode.

Well, I'll Tell You.

And This Time This Athlete Has Come

In A Different-Looking Package.

This Athlete Has The Speed, The Moves

And Most Importantly...

The Heart.

You Could See That After One Practice?

The Coach And I Are Very, Very Sorry

That She Decided So Late To Go Out For The Team

Because She Was Out At Practice Five Minutes

Took The Ball Twice, Scored Two Touchdowns.

And That Is Why

I Have Given Her The Nickname, "The Gray Ghost."

The Gray Ghost.

Named After Another Huxtable, Namely Her Father.

Well, Cliff, Rudy Is Very Lucky

To Have A Father Who Is So Enthusiastic

About Her Activities.

Thank You, My Mother-In-Law.

Clair, I Always Liked Your Husband

But I Think He's Strange.

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

It's Experimental For Me.

I Hope It Will Be Experimental For You.

There's Always Been A Mystery About The Drum.

The Drum Is The Father Of The Percussion Section.

First, We Take The Snare Drum.

Next, We Go To The Bass Drum.

Hi, Dad, Hi, Theo.

Hey.

Hey, Sondra.

From The Bass Drum, We Go To The Tom-Tom.

And From The Tom-Tom, We Go To The Cymbal.

Why Are You Watching This?

It's Educational, Dear.

What Else Is On?

Nothing.

Dad!

You Just Said There Was Nothing On.

What Will We Do?

Talk.

Talk?

Yeah.

Sondra, How's School?

Great.

Theo...

Don't Ask.

Really?

What's The Matter?

Miss Westlake, My Math Teacher.

Miss Westlake Is Tough.

I Know You Think She's Great

But This Will Change Your Mind.

What?

She Called Me

Up To The Chalkboard

To Do Math Problems.

She Told Me To Stay Till I Did It.

And?

She Had The Nerve To Turn Her Back On Me

And Teach The Class.

She Left You Up There Doing Work

While She Taught The Class.

Hello!

She Didn't Wait For You To Finish?

No.

How Long Did It Take?

I Was Up There The Whole Period.

What Would Have Happened

If You'd Told Her That You Couldn't Do The Problem?

She'd Let Me Sit Down.

Why Didn't You Tell Her That?

I Couldn't Do That.

She'd Think I Didn't Know The Answer.

Did You Know The Answer?

Oh, Yeah, Yeah.

Does She Call On You A Lot?

Yes.

Does She Make You Nervous?

I Get Nervous Just Thinking About Her.

I Think I Know Why.

Why?

It Sounds Like

You're Suffering

From Performance Anxiety.

That's An Interesting Diagnosis.

What Is It?

You Have Trouble Performing Because You're Intimidated.

That's It.

That's What I Have.

You Can Deal With Your Problem

With "Positive Visualization."

I'll Try Anything.

Here's What You Do.

You Visualize Yourself Standing In Front Of The Chalkboard

Working The Problem Correctly.

Then Visualize Miss Westlake Smiling

Ready To Embrace You.

Oh, Sondra, Stop!

I Think That Visualizing Miss Westlake

Is Not Your Problem.

I Think That When You're Standing Up At The Board

You Don't Know What You're Doing.

What Theo Needs To Do

Is Visualize Himself Up In His Bedroom

Doing His Homework.

Have You Ever Opened Up One Of His Books?

No.

You Can Hear The Book Open.

I Think You Ought To Come Along With Me.

I Want You To Visualize Yourself

Doing Your Homework

And Visualize The Fact That You Are Really Doing It.

And, Then, Visualize Your Father

Driving You To A College Campus.

I Want You To Visualize Good-Looking Women

Who Want To Date Boys Who Visualize Themselves

With Good Grades.

I Can Visualize That.

All Right.

I Can Also

Visualize Myself

In A Nice Sports Car.

Good.

I Want You To Visualize Yourself Paying For It.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

Okay, Okay.

Rudy, When You Score Your First Touchdown

Here's What You Do.

Theo!

Hi, Rudy.

Your Blocking Back Is Here.

Where's Mom?

In The Kitchen.

Everybody Get In The Car.

Everybody's In The Car.

Come On.

I'd Rather Stay Here.

But Today Is Your Daughter's Football Debut.

Today We're Going To Watch The Gray Ghost Gallop.

I Can't Take This.

You Said When Our Son Was Playing:

"Cliff, It's Important

That The Father Be There To Watch The Boy."

I Think It's Important

That The Mother Watch The Daughter.

All Right.

But If Anybody Tries To Hurt My Baby

I'm Going To Go Out There And Stop Them.

This Is Going To Be Wonderful.

See A Mother Running Out On The Field.

Six...

Seven...

Eight...

Nine...

Get Them Up, Get Them Up!

Higher, Higher.

Run, Rudy!

Did You See That?!
