Oye, por ahí viene Bill Cosby. Óyele.

Hello? Hello?

Come on, Kira.

I think he likes it here.

Me too.

I bet he's hungry. Let's feed him. Okay.

Huxtable residence?

Is this the very handsome Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable?

Yes, it is.

You sound like quite a beautiful woman.

Well, thank you.

So, I hear your wife is away in Washington, D .C. for a few days.

That's right.

Who's this?

This is your secret admirer.

Lola.

Are the children?

Fine, fine. We're all coming down this weekend to root for you. Oh, that's

I can't wait to see you. The conference is going great.

Good. Is everything at home okay?

Fine. Is Theo wearing his heavy coat when he goes out?

Every time it's cold.

And Rudy's not wearing the same underwear every day, is she?

No. Is Vanessa trying to get away with wearing makeup?

Yes. No, I mean, no.

He likes the roadie. Yeah.

Okay.

You hold them.

My mom uses this for spaghetti.

Hi. Hi.

What's up?

Dad, remember one time you told me that choosing one thing sometimes means

saying no to something else?

Yes. Well, I had to make a choice, and I don't think I'll be able to go to

Washington with the family this weekend.

Oh, really?

Yeah. You see, Rebecca Sinclair is having a party this Saturday, and I

would be better for me if I went there instead.

But I will be thinking about all of you while you're gone.

Oh, and if you remember, would you please bring back a T -shirt from the

Space Museum?

Thank you, Dad.

Vanessa, come here, please.

You're going to go to Washington.

But, Dad... You are not going to go to any party. Dad, this isn't just any

party. This is the party of the year. It was an honor to be invited.

Dad, please, don't do this to me.

Do what?

I mean, do you think this is some kind of punishment?

Dad, anyone who is not at this party won't be considered cool anymore.

Not necessarily. They might say, Vanessa Huxtable is so cool, she didn't even

show up for the party.

Dad, they're not going to say that.

Or they might say Vanessa Huxtable is so cool she went to Washington, D .C. to

hear her mother speak.

Dad, I don't think they're going to say that either.

Or they may say Vanessa Huxtable's father was so cool he didn't care about

party.

I guess I'm going to Washington.

He's beautiful.

Yeah. Hey, where's this dog come from?

We were across the street at Peter's house, and he came up to us.

Really? You're not supposed to play with stray dogs.

But he was real.

Well, he does look pretty healthy.

I told him he could live with me.

Rudy, has Dad seen this dog yet?

No. Well, you better enjoy him now, because when Dad sees him, he's out of

But I want to keep him. We're not allowed to have a dog.

But I love my dog, and Peter does, too.

Well, there might be a chance you can keep him.

Really? Yeah, you see, Dad has a real soft spot when it comes to dogs.

Whenever we're in the park and he sees one, he'll whistle and say, Hey, fella,

how you doing? Taking your owner out for a walk?

He thinks that's a funny joke.

And if he sees one that he really likes, he'll go up to it and run alongside it

and start barking.

I'll go ask that now.

No, no. See, Dad likes dogs that are cute.

He's cute. We just brushed him. Oh, Rudy.

Look.

Oh, whoa.

What'd you feed him?

Bologna. Big mistake.

Yo!

Quick, get us just a baseball.

I'm in the kitchen, Dad.

I put the dog in the basement. Shh, be quiet. Dad's coming.

Hey, Petey Weedy and Tootie Fruity. Okay.

You smell something?

No.

the bottom of your shoes, please?

Sure.

Step aside, please.

Huh? Step aside.

Who

put

this in here?

Well, Dad...

See,

Dad, Peter and Rudy found him across the street. He has no tags, but he is

healthy, so I checked on myself.

Oh, you gave him a full exam?

Well, not a full exam.

Rudy, this dog belongs to someone who's probably missing it right now.

But I love him. Can I keep him, please?

Please, please, please.

Okay, let's have a meeting in the living room, okay?

You and Peter, in the living room. Yay! Let's go.

Do me a favor, please. Will you look after the dog and take that stuff

and then get a mop and some ammonia and do some strong mopping in the chair.

Now, let's discuss this dog.

Can we keep him, please?

No, Rudy, because if you were lost, wouldn't you want somebody to bring you

home? I guess.

Well, I know a place that helps lost dogs find their owners. It's called Love

-Lot Foundation.

You mean dog jail.

It's not a dog jail. You don't see dogs there with tin cups raking across the

bottom.

All right, well, this place has sunshine, fresh air, plenty of space for

to run, and they serve it nutritious food.

Can't we keep him until we find the owner?

This is not a good home for a dog. Your mother and I work. You, Vanessa, and

Theo, you're in school all day. The dog would be here alone.

He would be sad.

I could quit school. So could Peter.

But that isn't a good idea.

Can we keep him until we go to Washington?

Who is going to feed the dog, clean up after the dog makes a mess, wash the

I will, and Peter will help. Won't you, Peter? Yes.

No, you won't. Yes, we will.

No, you won't. Yes, we will.

Now, raise your right hands.

You promise.

I promise.

To feed the dog.

To feed the dog.

To wash the dog.

To clean up its boom -boom.

To clean up its boom -boom. And its bam -bam. And its bam

-bam. And especially.

And especially.

And especially.

Its wooby -wabby.

Wooby -wabby. Wooby -wabby.

I will follow this dog.

I will follow this dog.

Day and night.

Day and night.

Looking for.

Looking. Woogie Woogies. Woogie Woogies. Waggy Waggy. Waggy Waggy. And Wiggly

Wiggly. And Wiggly Wiggly. All right, I now pronounce you the proud looker

-afters of the dog until we leave for Washington, D .C., or until its owners

call for it. Yay!

You're the best dad in the whole world. Yeah, I know.

to give him a hug and kiss, too.

Hi, Pud.

Hi, Dad.

Vanessa, you're wearing your robe.

I know.

It's 3 .30 in the afternoon, huh?

Well, when I came home from school, it was the only thing I felt like wearing.

Really? That when the kids heard I wasn't going to the party, they treated

like an outcast.

Sorry.

Do you think he's a reconsider?

I mean, I could stay here this weekend and babysit the dog.

The dog will not be here by the weekend.

Well, if we're all gone, the house is going to be empty.

Aren't you worried about that?

And you think I'd feel a lot safer with you in it? Oh, yeah.

So I'm going to Washington?

Yes.

Are you going to be all right?

Oh, I hope so.

Empty. You people are not taking care of this dog!

Hey, Dad.

Hey. Well, it's in the paper. All right, let me hear it.

Found.

One brown and white combination terrier sheepdog.

Heartbroken. Misses his owner terribly.

I put that in there special.

Is the phone number in there? Yeah. Good. Call should start coming in.

Well, you know, Daddy, yesterday I posted signs up on all the telephone

the neighborhood, and we haven't heard anything.

We may never find the owner.

Well, son, it's only the second day. You have to have patience.

Yeah, right.

Uh, son?

Yeah?

I don't recall this being on the list.

Well, it was on the bill.

And what is this for?

Your teeth and breath?

Dad, I couldn't help myself.

You see, I've always wanted to go into a pet shop and bring something home to a

dog.

Well, son, I don't think it's a good idea for you to buy these things because

this dog is not going to be here that much longer, and it's not well taken

of. Look at that.

Empty. And I had to fill those things up myself last night.

Well, Dad, don't you think you're expecting too much from Rudy?

Remember, she's young.

I'm more responsible than she is.

So if I promise to take care of the dog, can we keep it?

You? Yeah. Would you please go back with me to the time when you were a little

boy and you were reading a book about seahorses?

And you started begging and crying, Dad, please, may I have seahorses, may I

have seahorses? And then finally I just got tired of all this begging and

crying. I went out, I bought you 20 seahorses, bought the tank, all the

equipment, little castles for them to go under and through, little lighthouse

for them to pass by.

I gave you a 20 -day supply of seahorse food. You fed them the first day you

talked to them. You tickled the tank. You went around going, broop, broop,

broop, broop, broop, seahorse, broop, broop, broop, broop, broop.

The third day, you started playing basketball. You forgot all about the

seahorses.

And on the sixth day, you came to me crying. You said, Dad, the seahorses.

are floating upside down. They're not swimming anymore.

And we had to send those seahorses to the seahorse corral in the sky.

Dad, I'm older now.

Come on, can't we keep the dog? I'm not gonna be living here much longer.

That's right. So when you get your own house, then you can have a herd of

if you want.

Where are you going?

We're going outside to play.

Where's the dog?

Downstairs in the basement.

Are you supposed to take the dog for a walk, or are you hoping that the dog

just join you?

I took him for a walk.

When? This morning.

You're supposed to take him for a walk before you go to school in the morning

and after you come home from school.

I forgot.

You're also supposed to get food and water and put it in the little dishes.

you forget that, too?

I guess.

What happened to the promises you made? Did you forget those, too?

No. Come on, Peter. Let's go feed the dog and walk the dog.

But not my dog.

You promised to help.

She's upstairs sobbing on her pillow.

Yeah, she's been a little down.

A little down?

Dad, I've never seen anyone so depressed.

I just went into her room and I asked if I could borrow a pencil.

And she said, pencil?

Who cares about pencils?

Who cares about anything?

Dad, we cannot bring her to Washington. She's going to ruin the whole trip.

She's going to go to D .C. She'll snap out of it. Dad, what if she doesn't?

We're going to our nation's capital.

There are going to be people from other countries there.

Now, if they see Vanessa, they're going to get the wrong impression of America.

Hospital residence.

Yes, we placed the ad.

Well, he looks something like that, but I doubt he's your dog.

Well, I just don't think he's your dog.

Hello?

Yes, this is the parent of the person you just talked to.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

That is correct.

Okay, I'll give it a try.

Squeakers!

Yes.

Hi, Rudy.

Hi, Squeakers.

How's everything going?

He's very sad because he's leaving.

He really is sad? Well, I'm sure the person who called about him misses him.

Just like I will.

Yes, you're going to miss him. But I'll tell you what, when he gets to his home,

I'll bet you he's going to tell all of his other dog friends. He's going to

I was with Rudy.

And she let me eat what I want.

And I went in her kitchen.

And she was crying when I left. And I know somebody loves me.

something to eat before he leaves?

Sure, and while you're at it, I'll write up his bill. Okay.

Vanessa?

Huh? You dropped the papers.

He's got a resume.

Vanessa? Yes, sir?

I don't want you to mistake my calmness for patience.

Dad. No, no, no, no. Sit down.

Let me finish.

Now, for two days, I've watched you sulk and mope and walk around here acting

very, very sad.

And I let you do that because you want to be sad, okay, fine.

But now you're depressing me.

If you want to be sad, go up to your room, be sad, put on sad music, put on

clothes, dance around the room, sad, have a sad fest.

Now, tomorrow is another day.

You're going to wake up with a smile, and you're going to smile, and you're

going to put on your smiling clothes, you're going to play smiling music,

going to have a smile fest, because you're going to Washington, D .C., and

you're going to smile so brightly that even the people from, as your brother

says, all... nations are going to look at you and say, my, what a wonderful

example of an American teenager.

Do you understand me?

Now I want you to pick these papers up.

Please come in. Come in. Thank you. And you must be the Chavez.

Yes, I'm Tony. This is my wife, Martha, and our daughter, Nina.

Hi, how are you?

We brought you something from our orchard in Bedford. Oh, thank you so

Well, I'll get the dog for you.

Rudy!

Squeakers!

Thanks a lot for taking care of them for us.

Well, we didn't do that much.

Bedford! Isn't that 50 miles from here? Yeah. We figured he must have gotten on

one of our trucks that makes deliveries down here.

Rudy, we'd love to have you come and visit sometime.

We could play with squeakers.

I'd like that.

Nina, honey, we have to go now.

Wait, can I say goodbye to squeakers?

Sure.

Goodbye, squeakers, and I'm going to miss you.

Well, thank you very much. You're welcome. Thanks. Take care. All right.

-bye. Bye, Rudy. Bye, Squeakers.

Bye. Hello.

Hello.

What's the matter?

Daddy, I'm sad.

Why? I miss Squeakers.

But you have a dog.

Who? You have a daddy dog.

I do.

Hello?

I've been with my children now for four days alone, and I don't

think I'm going to make it.

I want my wife back now.

I know that there are people who ask for bigger things than

this, but I need my wife, so...

If you can, please send it to me.

Claire.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, Bud.

I miss squeakers.

I miss squeakers, too.

You know, maybe when you're older, your mother and I will have a little meeting

and get you a dog just like squeakers.

I don't want one.

You don't? They're too much work.

Well, if that's the way you see it.

Can I sleep on Mom's side of the bed?

Yes. Thanks.

Hi. Come in.

Um, Dad, I'm sorry about the way I've been acting.

Yeah, so am I, but it's okay.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Mom and being with everyone in Washington,

and I promise I'll have a good time.

Want to get into bed?

Oh, if it's okay with Dad.

Yeah, it's okay.

Okay, good.

Hey, what's going on?

We're keeping Daddy company.

Yes, we are.

Get into bed.

Rudy, I'm a little bit too old for that.

You can watch TV.

Well, I think wrestling's on.

We have a real battle going on tonight.

The Baron has Texas Dan in his famous... Ooh, Baron Von Crusher.

I like his hat.

This match will be over in a second. Just watch.

i think i understand i don't have my wife but i don't have a

dog
