The Cosby Show

Theo, How You Feeling?

I Still Have The Cold

But Nothing Will Stop Me From Going To The Prom.

I Went To The Tuxedo Shop

I Said To Myself, "Money Is No Object.

I'm Going To Get Something To Make Justine Go Wild!"

Looks Like I'm Going To Have To Upgrade My Tuxedo.

Smitty, Come Here.

Just A Second.

Be Right With You.

How About I Pick You Up Around 7:00?

Great, I'll Be Waiting.

When You See This

You Will Want To Kiss Me, Too-- But Don't.

We're Getting To The Prom In Our Own Limousine.

How Did You Score That?

My Cousin Is The Limo King Of Forest Hills.

This Is His Top Chariot.

Quadraphonic Stereo, A Moon Roof

A Television, Complimentary Nuts

And We Get The Family Discount!

How Much?

Regularly $90 An Hour

For Us, $69.99, Tip Included.

With Our Parents Chipping In, We Could Make It.

Smitty, Justine Will Hate You For This.

Once She Spends An Evening In This Limousine With Us

The Rest Of Her Life Is Downhill!

What's Up?

Oh, Gordo.

How Are You Getting To The Prom?

I Hired A Car.

You Can Say We Hired A Car, Too.

Check This Out.

Not Bad.

"Not Bad"?

When Our Car Pulls Up Next To Yours

Your Date Is Going To Jump Out And Dive Through Our Moon Roof.

I Wouldn't Count On That, Guys.

Because Darlene And I Are Going To The Prom

In This.

You Guys Just Got The Standard Limousine.

I've Got The Olympiad Ultra-Stretch.

It's Nine Feet Longer.

Not To Mention Fully Equipped With Large Screen Tv, Vcr

Cd Stereo Player

And A Complimentary Basket Of Tropical Fruit.

See You Guys Later.

Do We Have Any Of Those Things?

No, But We Can Stop At The Market For The Fruit.

Gordon Is Going To Make Us Look Bad.

We May Be Going To The Prom Solo.

We've Got To Find Something To Top Gordon.

How About This?

We Take The Limo To Central Park And Hire

A Carriage To Take Us To The Prom?

No Good.

Neil Dugan Did That Last Year.

Disaster.

His Date Smelled Like A Horse All Night.

What Are We Going To Do?

Wait A Minute.

Of Course, I Got It.

What?

This Is Good.

It's Never Been Done In The History Of Proms.

Don't Leave Us Hanging.

We Arrive At The Prom

In A Helicopter.

A Helicopter?

I Love It.

You're A Genius.

I Know.

Let's Do It.

All Right.

Theo Showed Me

A Picture Of The Limousine He's Taking.

It Has Tinted Windows So You Can't See Inside.

If I Was In A Limousine, I'd Want Everybody To See Me.

Did Dad Take You In A Limousine?

I Didn't Go To My Prom.

Why Not?

Your Father Was At School Taking Final Exams

So He Couldn't Come.

Why Didn't You Take Someone Else?

Nobody Should Miss Their Prom.

I Didn't Want To Take Someone Else.

Your Father And I Were In Love.

So On Your Prom Night

You Sat All Alone And Cried Your Head Off?

No, I Talked To Your Dad On The Phone

And Went To A Movie.

Did You Cry Your Head Off

At The Movie?

No.

Compared To Some Girls I Knew, I Had It Very Good.

One Girl Named Cissy Logan, Her Father Was Very Strict.

He Made Her Go To The Prom With Him.

If She Danced With A Boy, He Stood Next To Them And Watched.

Compared To Cissy, I Had It Very Good.

Rudy, Mom's Holding Back On Us.

About What?

About Being Happy On Her Prom Night.

She Was Miserable.

She's Just Not Telling Us.

How Do You Know?

Because That's What Parents Do.

They Hide Their Feelings Inside To Protect Their Children.

In Reality, Our Mom Has Been Unhappy About This

For 30 Years.

Poor Mom.

Hey!

What's The Matter With You?

Dad, How Could You Let Our Mom Be Miserable For 30 Years?

I Don't Understand What You're Talking About.

You Never Took Her To Her Senior Prom.

Oh.

Listen, I Was Taking Final Exams.

You Could Have Come Back.

No, I Couldn't Have.

These Exams Were Very Important.

I Wouldn't Have Married You.

Clair!

Listen, Your Mother And I Had An Understanding.

She Has Never Showed Me That This Bothered Her.

She Has Been Keeping It Inside For 30 Years.

Dad, You Did Mom Wrong.

It's Time You Did Something About It.

You Should Take Her To Theo's Prom.

No, Theo Would Be Miserable The Rest Of His Life.

I Know.

We Should Throw A Prom For Mom.

What?

Yeah, Right Here In Our Own Living Room.

Are You Guys Serious?

Yeah! Yeah!

Your Mother Didn't Suggest This?

No. No.

Sounds Like A Good Idea.

Yes, We'd Like To Take The Private Helicopter

To The Eastside Heliport.

Then We'd Like To Swing South

And Circle The Statue Of Liberty A Few Times Before We Land.

Also, Is There A Parking Space For Our Limousine?

Okay, Great.

One More Thing.

Do You Have Complimentary Mixed Nuts?

Guys, The Nuts Are Extra.

Go For It.

We'll Take The Nuts.

How Much Is All This Going To Cost?

Sure, I'll Hold.

He's Figuring It Out.

I Can't Believe This Is Going To Happen.

Roxanne Flipped When She Heard.

Before, She Wouldn't Talk To Me.

Today, She Waited At My Locker.

You Should Have Seen Gordon's Face When I Told Him.

He Might Never Recover.

All Right.

Yes, I'm Here.

Okay...

Yeah?

Okay, Great.

Book It.

Thanks.

Gentlemen

We Have Ourselves A Helicopter.

All Right.

How Much?

Well, Rental Of The Helicopter And Pilot: $250.

Fuel Is Another $50.

And There's A $20 Surcharge Per Passenger.

That Comes To...

More Than $400.

How Much Are The Nuts?

We Can't Pay For That.

When I Tell Roxanne There's No Helicopter, She Will Plotz.

We Can't Give Up.

There's Got To Be A Way We Can Pull This Off.

Hey, Hey.

Hey, Fellas.

Look At That.

What?

There's An Ad For Helicopter Lessons.

$89 An Hour.

I'll Take The Lessons.

Theo, What About Us?

You Guys Don't Get It.

When I Go Up For My Lesson

I'll Say I Have Five Friends To Take Into The City.

Will That Work?

We'll Be Stepping Out Of Limousines

Dressed In Tuxedoes.

How Can They Say "No" To Us?

You're Right.

We're In.

Can I Say Something?

Why Be Satisfied With A Helicopter And A Limo?

Let's Think Of Something To Put Gordon Away.
