what did you bring me?

Nothing today.

Mommy!

What did you bring me?

Nothing for you today.

Okay.

This is for Vanessa. It's typing paper.

Give it to her.

She's not home.

Put it on her bed, okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

Cliff, that's very strange.

What?

Denise was supposed to pick up Vanessa.

There she is.

Vanessa!

What's wrong?

I stood in front of that library

for an entire hour

in the freezing cold

waiting for Denise

and she never showed up.

She didn't?

No!

The wind was going right through me.

It's a strong arctic wind from Canada.

My face feels like it's going to crack.

My toes are numb.

I can't even move my fingers.

Hi.

Where have you been?

You won't believe what happened to us.

We were in a wreck.

A wreck?

Yeah.

Your car?

Yeah.

Are you all right?

We're fine!

It was great!

Theo and I were going to pick up Vanessa

and we come to the intersection of 17th and dirkland.

A water pipe must have burst

because it was flooded.

Solid ice.

I tried to stop

but I slid through the intersection

and this other car...

a big limousine...

slid through the intersection

hit the ice, and ran into us.

On my side!

The chauffeur gets out to see if we're okay

and then the back door pops open

and guess who steps out?

Stevie wonder!

You guys were almost run over by Stevie wonder!

That's fantastic!

We were just at the right place at the right time.

Are you sure you're not hurt?

Mom, we're okay.

Where's the car?

It's okay.

The front Fender was dented.

Where's the car?

You can still drive it.

Where's the car?!

It's out front.

When Stevie

got out of the limousine

what did he say?

Are you ready for this?

He said, "Are you all right?"

I always knew Stevie was like that.

He cares.

He's just like

his records.

Just dented?

The Fender is curled up

wrapped around the muffler

through the back window.

Dad, it's not that bad.

I've got to see this.

Without your gloves?

Nothing is coming between my hand and Stevie's Dent.

I'll show you where he leaned on the car.

Ooh!

Hi, dear.

Cliff, I want you to see what someone did.

Look at that.

What?

Someone has broken the handle

off my favorite coffee mug.

You're kidding?

And then they tried to glue it together and put it away.

Somebody just glued it

and then put it way back in the cupboard, huh?

How did you know it was in the cupboard?

I just guessed

that it would be way back in the cupboard.

How did you know it was way back in the cupboard?

Am I going to need a lawyer?

I think so.

You broke my mug.

See, I tried...

I see what you tried to do

with all this old tired-looking glue.

Pieces missing.

All chipped up.

Glue inside the cup!

I did that on purpose.

Why?

So you would think

one of the children did it.

Cliff!

I almost went to the children and accused them.

Right.

And then they would have denied doing it.

But I wouldn't have believed them.

That's right.

Hey, dad.

How was your day?

Great.

Everyone knew about the wreck.

How did they know?

Theo told them.

That's right.

The public has a right to know.

By public

he means Tanya Simpson.

Tanya?

Tanya hasn't talked to me all year

but today, she followed me to my math class.

Tanya!

( ring )

Huxtable residence.

Yes, this is he.

♪ Hello, Tanya. ♪

Hi, Denise.

Hi, mom.

Did you call the insurance company?

Yes. I need two estimates.

Good.

Can I wait?

I want to keep the Dent for a while.

Denise!

I just want something to remember Stevie by.

If you'd like

we could have Stevie drive through the front door.

Tanya Simpson wants to take me to the movies.

That's it. I'm going to become a musician.

A musician?

Yeah.

A woman called me 'cause I was hit by one.

What would happen if I was one?

You don't play an instrument.

You don't have to nowadays.

All done by computers.

I'll just show up and sing.

I have heard you sing.

I'll get lots of backup singers.

One hit, and you're set for life.

We're talking mongo rich.

You'll only wear designer clothes.

And eat caviar.

That's what mongo rich people eat.

You'll have parties on yachts.

And sleep till 2:00 in the afternoon.

And you can buy your parents a bigger house

and they can retire.

( ring )

Huxtable residence.

Stevie wonder?

Right, cockroach.

Hello?

No, we're both fine, Mr. Wonder.

Yeah.

No, yeah, we did.

Really.

Really?

That would be great!

10:00 tomorrow?

Thank you!

He wants us all there at 10:00..!

just slow down.

What did he say?

He said--

he invited the whole family

to a recording session!

♪ I just called ♪

♪ to say I love you ♪

♪ I just called to say how much I care! ♪

All right! All right!

Aren't you excited?!

It's very nice

that Mr. Wonder has invited us to a recording session

but that's no reason

to go crazy.

What will I wear?

When Tanya Simpson hears this

she'll want to marry me.

Oh, cliff.

Oh, cliff.

We're going to meet Stevie wonder!

Baby!

The people at the office will never believe this one!

Stevie, the huxtables are here.

Oh, great.

They can come in.

Hi, Mr. Wonder.

Don't worry, Denise.

I'm driving today.

Mr. Wonder? Hi, I'm Theo.

Remember me?

Why don't you say, "Hi, Steve"?

Hi, Steve.

You didn't come alone.

Introduce everybody.

This is my father, but he can't stay.

Doesn't he like me?

I like you, but I have to go deliver a baby.

I hope you're a doctor.

I wanted to thank you for crashing into my children.

Take care of yourself.

Thank you.

Bye, dad. Bye, dad.

Bye.

Is anybody else leaving?

My mom's here. She's a lawyer.

A lawyer?

Glad I didn't know that when we had the accident.

Hello. It's nice to meet you.

I'm Clair huxtable.

How do you do?

Fine, thank you.

My pleasure.

Hi, I'm Rudy.

Hi, Rudy.

I made you a present.

You did?

Know what it is?

Might need help with this one.

It's a giraffe.

This is the most beautiful giraffe

anyone's ever given me.

Thank you.

This is my other sister, Vanessa.

That's a pretty name.

Thank you, sir.

You're welcome, madam.

We can do without all the "Sirs," okay?

Okay, Stevie.

Right.

Thank you for inviting us.

We don't want to interrupt your work, so we'll be going.

Why don't you stay for a while?

Yeah! Yeah, mom. Yeah!

Okay, okay.

( recorded drumming )

( scatting )

Gariel.

Yeah, Stevie? This isn't happening.

Let's try something different.

No problem, Stevie.

You mind helping me?

No!

Will the person who made this giraffe come here?

I'm here.

You're how old?

Six.

Want to be on my album?

Yeah.

What sound does a giraffe make?

( warbling )

( recorded warbling )

Beautiful.

I've got you in my synclavier.

Mommy, I'm on Stevie's new record.

I know.

I need more help.

Miss Vanessa?

Yes, sir...

I mean, Stevie.

How old are you?

I'm twelve.

Got a boyfriend?

Well, sort of.

She's in love with Robert.

Why didn't you say "Robert"?

Robert.

Say it like you mean it.

Robert.

Denise, how old are you?

Seventeen.

Theo, and you?

Jammin' on the one.

Jammin'.

dad, I wish you'd stayed.

I'll never forget Stevie.

How did you like the caviar?

What?

Didn't Stevie take you on the yacht

and give you some caviar?

Are you making fun of me, dad?

No, but if he didn't take you on the yacht

and give you some Mongo caviar

then why is he a musician?

I guess he loves what he does.

Like your father and I love what we do.

I guess so.

And like I'm going to love

playing that tape for Tanya Simpson.

Good night.

Good night, son.

They are never, ever, going to forget this.

Every time they hear a Stevie wonder song

They'll remember this day.

Their mother and father will also.

Yeah.

I'm going to go upstairs

and go to sleep

because I am worn out.

A little "Ba-babe, ba-babe, baby" Is exhausting.

Don't you want some chocolate?

No, I'm going to sleep.

Please?

No, I am tired.

Aw, cliff, come on.

Good night, hon.

Good night.

Good night.

See you in the morning.

All right.

I don't know what to say, but I do know what to play.
