The Cosby Show

Mom, We're Going Out In The Backyard To Play, Okay?

Okay, But Rudy

Wear Your Hat.

But It's Spring Outside.

Yes, But It's Only 45 Degrees

So Put It On.

Okay. Kenny, Put Yours On, Too.

I Don't Have To.

I'm A Man.

So?

Men Don't Get Cold In Spring.

They Only Get Cold When It's Below Zero.

That's Why They Send Men To The South Pole.

There Are Women

At The South Pole.

Oh, Yeah, But They Stay Inside.

Oh, I See.

I'll Call Your Mother

And Tell Her That You Went Outside Without Your Hat On.

I'm Sure She'll Say It's Okay Because You're A Man.

Let's Go, Rudy.

Okay.

Cliff: Hey, Look At Kenny!

You Told Me You'd Never Wear A Hat

As Long As You Live.

You Are Not Going To Believe What Happened To Your Son Today.

What?

No, Ask Your Son--

Who Has Gone Fishing 15 Or 20 Times

Who Has Never Caught Anything--

Ask Him What He Reeled In Today.

A Rubber Tire.

No, Ask Him What He Caught.

You Caught A Fish?

Where Is It?

The Morgue.

He Caught A Dead Man In A Three-Piece Suit.

The Police Think

It Was A Gangster Named Jimmy "The Snake" Martin.

So Granddad Said:

"Wait A Minute, Fellows.

Let's Just Change Places So We Can Reel It In."

So We're Reeling In, And I Got Mine In

And Granddad Has His In

And Your Son Is Pulling

And His Pole Is Bent Over Like This.

He Said, "Dad, I Got Something."

So I Said

"I'll Help You Pull It In."

I Wanted To Bring It In Myself.

But The Fish Wasn't Putting Up Much Of A Fight.

Dad Thought It Was An Old Tire.

I Said, "Dad, This Is Not A Tire.

I Can Feel It."

And It Wasn't.

Theo: So I Said

"Let Me Reel It In."

I Pulled With All My Might

And This Thing Floated To The Surface.

And Then He Pulled It And Saw The Thing...

And My Son Saw It

And My Son Said, "That's It!

I'm Not Fishing No More!"

And "Phoom" Took Off.

I Had To Run And Catch Him.

My Man Was Gone.

I Said

"Hold It, Man."

I Said, "You Go Get The Police."

And He Went And Called The Police.

Dad And I Covered The Man Up.

He Came Back With The Reporter

And They Interviewed Him.

The Police Asked Us Some Questions.

So They Went Off, And Here We Are.

But I Must Tell You That I'm Proud Of My Friend

Who, After Being 0 For 15 In Catching A Fish

Is One For One In Catching A Dead Man.

That's Enough Warming Up.

Let's Play Now.

We Don't Have Enough People.

We'll Play One-On-One.

I'll Be The Goalie.

You Try To Kick It Past Me.

That Will Be Easy.

Nuh-Uh. I'm Quicker Than You.

In Your Dreams.

Goal!

Yes!

Whoo!

You're Stupid.

You're A Sore Loser.

Sun's In My Eyes.

Right.

Bet You Can't Do It Again.

Kenny, Come Here.

Look.

Wow, A Bird's Nest!

Look, Babies.

I Wonder Where The Mother Is.

She Should Be With Her Children.

Maybe She's Looking For Food.

The Man Bird Gets The Food.

The Mother Stays With The Nest.

Is That What Your Brother Said?

No, That's The Way Things Are In Nature.

Nuh-Uh.

I Saw A Tv Show About Birds

And The Mother Bird Flew Away And Got Bugs For Her Babies.

We Should Watch Over Them.

If The Mother Doesn't Come Back By Tomorrow

We'll Adopt Them, And We'll Take Care Of Them.

I Guess That Will Make You The Mama Bird

And Me The Daddy Bird.

Look At That.

Hi.

Ooh, Hi.

Everybody In The Office Is Talking About Theo.

I Told Everybody At The Hospital About My Son, The Fisherman.

It Is Kind Of Exciting--

Our Boy Getting All This Attention.

You Better Believe It.

And He's Handling It With Great Maturity, Too.

Mom, Dad...

Do You Know Who You're Looking At?

Check Out Page Two Of The Daily Chronicle.

It's A Picture Of You By The Lake.

When Was This Taken?

A Reporter Came By School Today

To Ask Me Some Questions.

At Lunch, He Took Me To The Lake

And Took My Picture.

Read The Headline.

"Brooklyn Boy Hooks Dead Meat."

Isn't That Great?

It Was That Gangster, Jimmy "The Snake" Martin.

He Ran A Stolen Car Ring.

The Police Have Been Looking For Him.

Read On, Mom.

"A Brooklyn Youth, Armed With A Fishing Pole

"Solved A Mystery

That Baffled Police For Three Weeks."

I'm A Hero.

You Should Have Seen The Kids

When I Had The Photographer Hanging Out With Me

And The Reporter.

Dad, A Teacher At School

Asked Me To Write A Story About It

In The School Newspaper.

You're Kidding.

I Went To The Newsstand To Buy The Paper.

The Guy Looked At Me And Said:

"Page Two, Right?"

I Said, "Yeah."

He Said, "Hey, Man, Autograph This."

So I Signed It

And Pretty Soon, I Had People Crowding Around Me

Asking Questions.

Yesterday Was The Best Thing

That Ever Happened To Me.

Theo, Did You Say These Things?

What Things?

"I Pulled The Line

"And The Bloated Corpse Popped Out Of The Water.

"It Was A Mess.

"The Guy Was Purple.

"His Nose Was Pushed Over To His Ear.

"He Looked Very Bad.

It Looked Like Some Mobsters Had Worked Him Over Real Good."

Did You Say This?

I Told The Reporter I Was Calling The Police

While Dad Pulled The Body From The Water.

And From That He Got This?

Dad, I Got All The Local Newspapers.

Thank You.

I Had To Go To Five Different Newsstands.

I'll Get It.

Huxtable Residence.

Yes, This Is Theodore Huxtable.

You Do?!

Okay, Could You Hold On For One Second?

Yeah.

Dad, It's Action News.

They Want To Interview Me.

They're Putting You On Television For This?

Give Me The Telephone, Please.

This Is Clair Huxtable, Theodore's Mother.

One Moment, Please.

This Isaction News

And They Do Want To Talk To Him.

Action News!

They're The Number One News Team In The City.

I Have To Do It.

Suppose They Exploit You Like That Paper Did?

They Won't Exploit Me.

I Promise.

I Can Handle Myself.

How Do You Know That They Won't Exploit You?

He Can Do The Interview, But We Have To Be Present.

Fine, You're The Boss In This.
