The Cosby Show

Cliff, What's The Matter?

I Have What You Have.

The Andalusian Flu?

Every Fiber Of My Body.

Oh, No.

You Cannot Be Sick.

You Can't.

I Can't?

No, I'm Not Well Yet.

Ah-Huh.

Tomorrow I'll Be Better And You Can Be Sick Then.

No, I'm Sorry.

My Teeth Hurt.

I'm Hot, I'm Cold.

This Is It.

It Gets Worse.

Why Did You Give Me This?

I Didn't Mean To Give It To You.

I Caught It From The Children, Who Probably Caught It

From One Of Those Little Sickly, Snotty-Nose Kids In School.

We Should Track That Kid Down And Shake Him.

Yeah.

Then We Should Find Out Where His Parents Live

And Sneeze On Them.

If They Have A Dog, We'll Sneeze On It.

Hey, Dad, I Found...

What's Wrong?

Your Father's Sick With The Andalusian Flu.

Whoa.

Forget The Next 36 Hours.

Don't Worry.

I'll Take Care Of You.

You Will?

Sure.

You Took Care Of Us Last Week.

You'll Watch Vanessa And Rudy?

Sure.

Who's Going To Watch You?

I'm 16. I Can Handle It.

Give Me A Chance.

Okay.

Cliff: Okay.

All Right.

Aren't You Taking Lana Herman To The Movies?

Oh, Yeah.

I'll Have To Tell Her We Can't Go.

If You Need Anything, Just Let Me Know.

He's Giving Up

Going Out With Lana Herman To Look After His Parents?

What A Lovely Boy.

You Know, There Is A Positive Side To All Of This.

What's That?

You And I Can Spend

The Day Together In Bed.

Maybe.

If Janet Calls

Tell Her I Left.

Where Are You Going?

To Janet's.

You Can't.

Now Dad's Sick, Too.

Oh, No.

I'm Going Up There.

They Need Me.

Don't Bug Them.

Are They Okay?

They're Fine.

They Just Need Bed Rest For A Few Days.

A Few Days?

Yeah.

Who Will Cook?

We Will.

Who Will Put Me To Bed?

We Will.

Who Will Pay The Bills?

Calm Down.

They've Been Sick Before.

Not Together.

We'll Have To Pull Together And Run The House Ourselves.

All Right, Pizza Every Night.

See, Right Off That's The Wrong Attitude.

We've Got To Be Responsible.

Which Means We Eat Stuff We Don't Like.

Yeah, I Guess You're Right.

With Some Teamwork, Everything Will Go Smoothly.

What's First?

You Two Make Lunch.

Rudy, You Empty The Dishwasher.

Vanessa, You Clean The Kitchen.

I'll Make A Work Schedule.

What Will You Do Besides The Work Schedule?

Lots.

Plan The Meals, Decide When To Eat...

Figure Out What Chores Need To Be Done.

I'll Do Everything Mom And Dad Do.

In Fact, I'm Doing The Job Of Two Adults.

I'd Appreciate Some Support From You Two.

I'm With You.

Me, Too.

I Know We Can Do It.

Go, Team! Go, Team!

Let's Go Team. Let's Go Team.

Cliff?

Yeah?

I'm Thirsty.

So Am I.

Who Will Get Us Water?

You.

I Can't Get Water, I'm Sick.

So Am I.

So Am I.

So Am I.

Theo Said If We Needed Anything We Could Call Him.

Go Ahead, Call Him.

I Can't, My Head Hurts.

My Head Hurts, Too.

Okay, Let's Call Him Together.

Okay.

On The Count Of Three.

One, Two, Three.

Theo. Theo.

Theo. Theo.

I'm Yelled Out.

Do You Think They'll Ever Come Up And Check On Us?

I Don't Think So, Dear.

They Have Us Right Where They Want Us.

How Are We Going To Get The Water?

I'll Get It.

Dear, I'm Going To Need Some Help.

Okay.

There You Go.

Cliff?

Hmm?

Are You All Right?

Yeah, I'm Just Taking A Little Nap.

Vanessa.

What?

There's More Table Under Those Magazines.

Nobody Sees That Part.

I Will If I Pick Up A Magazine.

Then Don't Pick Them Up.

You Wouldn't Be Sloppy With Mom And Dad Here.

All Right, All Right.

Good.

When You Finish That, You Can Start This.

I'm Through After Dusting.

Wrong.

I Told Janet I Would Come Over.

When You're Sick

Do Mom And Dad Take Off To Their Friend's House?

No.

Then We Should

Show Them The Same Consideration

And That's Going To Take Teamwork And Sacrifice.

A Chain Is Only As Strong As Its Weakest Link.

Don't Be That Weak Link.

Theo, Don't Give Me That.

It's Obvious That You Don't Want To Pitch In And Help

For Mom And Dad's Sake.

All Right.

And Here's A Grocery List, Too.

I Have To Go To The Store, Too?

What Are You Doing?

Plenty.

I Have To Finish Dusting, Organize The House...

I'll Go To The Grocery Store.

And Pick Up Some Carnations For Mom And Dad.

You Probably Want Me To Grow Them, Too.

Hi, Rudy, How's It Going?

Almost Finished.

Good.

Here, Remember To Separate The Whites.

I Can't Do Laundry.

I'm Not Allowed To Use The Machine.

You Could Still Take This And Separate The Clothes.

I'm Going To The Store.

After That, Do The Living Room Floors.

That's Your Job.

When You Were Sick Last Week

Mom And Dad Took Care Of You.

It's Time To Return The Favor.

That Means Some Sacrifice.

A Chain Is Only As Strong As Its Weakest Link.

Don't Be That Weak Link.

Understand?

I Understand--

You Want Me To Do Your Work.

I Don't Need This Sarcasm.

I'm Sorry.

Hey, Mr. Lucas, How Are You Doing?

This Is My New Assistant.

Warren L. Davis.

Your Father Recommended Him.

Really?

I Worked At The Hospital

For 20 Years, But They Gave Me The Boot.

Sorry To Hear About That.

Don't Be.

Working For Mr. Lucas

Is The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.
