The Cosby Show s02e06 Episode Script

NOW, THIS IS A SERIOUS PUMPKIN! LOOK AT THAT FACE, HUH? GOT A SMILE WITH JUST A HINT OF TRAGEDY.
INSIDE HOLLOW YET DEEP.
IT'S NICE.
I'LL PUT IT IN THIS CORNER.
DON'T YOU THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER APPRECIATED HERE? VANESSA WANTS THIS PARTY TO LOOK MORE ADULT.
WHY DON'T I PUT A SUIT AND A HAT ON IT? IT STAYS IN THE CORNER.
HEY YOU GOING TO A WEDDING? NO, TRICK-OR-TREATING.
TRICK-OR-TREATING, WHAT'S THAT? WHEN YOU DRESS UP AND PEOPLE GIVE YOU CANDY.
YOU'RE KIDDING? WHEN DID THEY START THIS? WHEN I WAS THREE.
CLAIR: CLIFF WHAT ARE YOU WEARING TONIGHT? I'M GOING TO WEAR THIS.
NO, YOU HAVE TO WEAR A COSTUME.
DADDIES DON'T WEAR COSTUMES.
CLAIR: DON'T WORRY.
DADDY WILL WEAR ONE.
I DON'T HAVE A COSTUME.
I'LL MAKE YOU ONE.
GREAT IDEA.
GO MAKE DADDY'S COSTUME.
OKAY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME? THIS IS IMPORTANT TO RUDY.
YOU MIGHT LIKE TRICK-OR-TREATING.
TRICK-OR- TREATING? WHY DON'T WE JUST CALL IT BEGGING? YOU GET LITTLE CHILDREN ALL DRESSED UP AND BY THE TIME THEY GET TO THE TENTH HOUSE THEY JUST SAY, "GIVE ME WHAT YOU HAVE.
" I REMEMBER A BOY WHO WAS TRICK-OR-TREATING AT 15.
AND THE DAY AFTER HALLOWEEN HAD THE NERVE TO GO AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOCKING ON EACH DOOR BEGGING "WHAT HAVE YOU GOT LEFT?" AND THAT'S WHEN YOUR PARENTS GAVE ME YOU.
MOM, GUESS WHAT? I JUST TALKED TO JANET.
SCOTT WILSON SAID THAT ROBERT FOREMAN IS COMING TO MY PARTY.
ROBERT FOREMAN? HE IS THE COOLEST BOY IN SEVENTH GRADE.
HE'S COMING HERE! OH, MY GOODNESS.
THEN THAT MEANS WE'RE COOL, TOO.
VANESSA, WE SHOULD FIX YOUR COSTUME.
CLIFF, WOULD YOU HANG THIS CREPE PAPER? OKAY.
HEATHCLIFF? JUST TAKING HIM FOR A WALK, DEAR.
( DOORBELL RINGS ) VANESSA: I'LL GET IT! HI.
HI, JANET.
HI, VANESSA.
WOW, YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL! DO YOU THINK ROBERT WILL LIKE IT? OF COURSE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE ROBERT FOREMAN WILL BE HERE! IT'S FATE.
COME IN.
YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL.
THANKS.
HI.
ARE THEY STAYING? NO, MY DAD'S TAKING THEM TRICK-OR-TREATING.
HI, JANET.
WOW, MRS.
HUXTABLE, GREAT COSTUME! WHAT COSTUME? RUDY: DADDY'S DRESSED! WOW! WOW! I DID THIS! HI, JANET.
HI, DR.
HUXTABLE.
CLIFF YOU ARE SUCH A SPORT FOR WEARING THIS.
I'LL BE A BIGGER SPORT IF I SEE YOU IN THAT LATER TONIGHT.
KATY HOW ARE YOU? FINE.
PETER, MY MAIN MAN.
HOW'S THE WIFE AND KIDS? YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING OUT TRICK-OR-TREATING? YES.
HAVE YOU A SONG TO SING FOR THE PEOPLE? YES.
* TRICK OR TREAT, SMELL MY FEET * GIVE ME SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT! * IF YOU DON'T, I DON'T CARE I'LL PULL DOWN YOUR UNDERWEAR.
* I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN APPROPRIATE SONG.
WE'RE GOING INTO THE STREETS.
STAND UP.
WHILE WE'RE OUT IN THE STREET THERE ARE THREE RULES TO FOLLOW: NUMBER ONE-- HOLD YOUR HAND CROSSING THE STREET.
NUMBER TWO, YOU'RE GOING TO GET TWO BAGS-- A PURPLE BAG AND A RED BAG.
NUMBER THREE, DON'T TELL ANYBODY WHO I AM.
ALL RIGHT.
HILLY-UP, HOLP.
HIP, HOLD, HIP.
HURRY UP AND FOLLOW ME.
HOP, HIP, HOMP LIPPY, LOPPY, LIP YOMP, HOMP, YIP HOMP, YOMP, LIP.
GO ON OUT THERE.
YOMP, LIP, YOMP THANKS, SCOTT.
ANYTIME, JANET.
I WISH I WAS SCOTT.
WHY? HE'S TALKING TO ROBERT.
ISN'T HE GORGEOUS? IS EVERYTHING OKAY? GREAT! NOW, WHO'S ROBERT? THE ONE IN THE MASK.
HE'S COOL.
HE'S TAKING OFF HIS MASK.
AHH HE IS ABSOLUTE COOL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE HIM SOME PUNCH.
NO, HE ALREADY HAS SOME.
OH, OF COURSE.
HE CAN ALWAYS HELP HIMSELF.
YEAH.
CAN YOU BELIEVE MY MOM WANTED ME TO BRING ROBERT FOREMAN PUNCH? HE MIGHT THINK I LIKE HIM.
BUT YOU DO.
I DON'T WANT HIM TO KNOW UNLESS HE LIKES ME FIRST.
OH, THAT IS SMART.
HE DOES LOOK THIRSTY.
ASK SCOTT TO ASK ROBERT IF HE WANTS SOME PUNCH.
WHAT IF HE DOES WANT SOME? I'LL BRING IT TO HIM.
MAKE SURE SCOTT KNOWS I AM NOT BRINGING ROBERT PUNCH BECAUSE I LIKE HIM.
GOT IT? GOT IT.
HUP, TWO, THREE, QUICKLY NOW.
HUP TO THE TABLE, SIT DOWN.
HUP, HIP, THREE, FOUR.
ALL RIGHT, NOW DON'T FORGET SIT DOWN, DON'T FALL DOWN.
LET YOUR PARENTS LOOK THROUGH THE RED BAG BECAUSE THIS IS FROM PEOPLE WE DON'T KNOW.
THESE ARE FROM PEOPLE WE KNOW.
I'LL GIVE YOU EACH THREE PIECES.
THREE AND THREE THREE.
OKAY NOW, THAT'S IT.
ALL RIGHT? GOOD ENOUGH.
HOW DID IT GO? HOW DID IT GO? THESE KIDS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
AT THE FIRST HOUSE, ALL THREE WENT UP; I STOOD IN THE BACK.
THE LADY SAID, "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
WHO'S THAT IN THE BACK?" "THAT'S MY FATHER.
" SHE SAID, "HERE'S SOME FOR HIM.
" THEN THEY CAUGHT ON.
NEXT HOUSE THEY SAY, "COME WITH US, DAD.
" THEN KATY SAYS "HE WAS IN THE SERVICE.
" SO THE LADY SAYS, "BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.
" PETER SAYS, "HE'S GOT A WAR WOUND.
" VANESSA GUESS WHAT? WHAT? ROBERT THINKS YOU'RE CUTE.
REALLY?! SCOTT SAID THAT.
DID YOU TELL SCOTT I THOUGHT ROBERT WAS CUTE? YES.
BEFORE OR AFTER HE TOLD YOU? AFTER.
ROBERT THOUGHT I WAS CUTE FIRST? YES.
THAT'S FANTASTIC! VANESSA? WHAT? HELLO.
OKAY.
HALLOWEEN PEOPLE-- LET ME LOOK AT YOUR HANDS.
AHA! JUST AS I THOUGHT.
I WANT YOU TO GO UPSTAIRS AND WASH THOSE HALLOWEEN CANDY HANDS BECAUSE CANDY HANDS LEAD TO CANDY WALLS.
HOP TO, HOP TI, HOP TI, LOP TO ROP, TWO, THREE CLAIR, WOULD YOU STEP IN MY OFFICE, PLEASE, DEAR? MM-HMM.
OUR DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN HERE FOR TEN MINUTES FILLING UP BOWLS WITH PEANUTS.
MM-HMM.
WHY IS SHE DOING THAT? ROBERT FOREMAN.
ROBERT FOREMAN WANTS ALL THOSE PEANUTS? NO, MY GUESS IS HE SPOKE TO HER AND NOW SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SHOULDN'T WE SHOVE HER BACK OUT INTO THE FIELD OF BATTLE? VANESSA, HONEY-- WHATEVER'S GOING ON IN THE NEXT ROOM IS MORE EXCITING THAN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HERE.
BUT I'M SO NERVOUS.
YOU'RE TOO PRETTY TO STAY IN THE KITCHEN.
VANESSA, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? ROBERT SAID, "HELLO.
" SO? I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST SAY, "HELLO"? I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT.
I TALKED TO SCOTT.
WHAT DID HE SAY? ROBERT THINKS HE MADE A MISTAKE COMING OVER TO YOU.
NO! I WANTED THAT.
I'LL TELL SCOTT TO TELL ROBERT THAT IF HE SAYS "HELLO," YOU'LL SAY "HELLO" BACK.
SAY IT'S NOT BECAUSE I LIKE ROBERT-- JUST BECAUSE I'M BEING POLITE.
WHICH ONE IS ROBERT? CLIFF, COME AWAY FROM THAT DOOR.
WHICH ONE IS ROBERT? SEE THE GUY STANDING BY THE DOOR? THE PHANTOM? MY DAUGHTER IS IN LOVE WITH THE PHANTOM.
YES! THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
THIS IS OUR THIRD ONE NOW WHO'LL BE GOING AROUND NERVOUS, PALPITATIOUS.
"MY HANDS ARE JUST SO SWEATY.
OH, MY GOD.
" I REMEMBER WHEN SHE WOULDN'T LET A BOY NEAR HER.
THAT'S RIGHT.
NOW, THAT'S MY JOB.
HELP ME WITH THIS POPCORN.
I'LL TAKE IT OUT.
OH, NO.
YOU STAY IN THIS KITCHEN.
I CAN TAKE IT.
I'LL BE COOL.
CLIFF, THERE ARE ENOUGH IN THAT ROOM ALREADY.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE PETER AND KATY HOME? HUP, TWO, THREE, FOUR THAT DOESN'T WORK ON GROWN-UPS.
HUP, TWO, THREE, FOUR, OUT, UP THE STAIRS YOU GO.
UP, YOU'RE MOVING MUCH TOO SLOW.
( SLOW DANCE MUSIC ) VANESSA'S ONLY GOING TO DO THIS BECAUSE SHE'S BEING POLITE.
I GOT IT.
WHAT DID SCOTT SAY? HE THINKS ROBERT WILL SAY "HELLO.
" HE DID?! YES.
SCOTT THINKS ROBERT LIKES YOU.
AND? I SAID YOU'D LIKE ROBERT IF HE LIKES YOU FIRST.
IS THAT OKAY? YES! WHEN CAN I GO SAY "HELLO"? I'D DO IT RIGHT AWAY.
WHY? JANET THINKS VANESSA REALLY LIKES YOU.
DID YOU SAY I LIKE VANESSA? I ONLY SAID THAT AFTER JANET SAID VANESSA LIKES YOU.
THEN, I GUESS I BETTER GO SAY, "HELLO.
" GO FOR IT! ROBERT'S COMING.
ARE YOU SURE?! YES! HELLO, VANESSA.
HELLO, ROBERT.
NICE PARTY.
THANKS.
WANT TO DANCE? SURE.
WOW! ( SLOW DANCE MUSIC ) YOU KNOW, THIS IS A PARTY.
WOW! HEY, VANESSA.
HI, VANESSA.
HEY.
DO YOU KNOW VANESSA'S DANCING WITH A BOY? ALL RIGHT, VANESSA.
HOW WAS YOUR PARTY? THEO RUINED IT.
NO, I DIDN'T.
THE ONE GUY THAT I WANTED TO MEET AVOIDED ME ALL EVENING BECAUSE THEO TOLD HIM I HAD A BOYFRIEND.
THEO, WHY DID YOU DO THAT? I DIDN'T LIKE HIS ATTITUDE.
I THOUGHT HE WAS A JERK.
YOU SHOULDN'T DECIDE WHO I MEET OR DON'T MEET.
YOU NEVER MET HIM? BEFORE WE LEFT, WE FINALLY TALKED.
AND? HE WAS A JERK.
SO YOU SHOULDN'T BE MAD.
I COULD HAVE MET HIM SOONER, FOUND OUT HE WAS A JERK AND, THEN, TRIED TO MEET SOMEONE ELSE.
DENISE, I TALKED TO OTHER GUYS THERE.
YOU DIDN'T MISS A THING.
I LIKED THAT SONG.
IT'S EASY TO DANCE TO.
YEAH.
WELL, THANKS.
YEAH, THANKS.
HOW DID WE LOOK? FABULOUS! REALLY?! WHAT WAS IT LIKE? I DIDN'T BREATHE ONCE.
WOW! VANESSA, PLEASE TAKE THESE.
JANET, WOULD YOU BRING THAT BOWL INSIDE? OKAY.
OH, WELL.
SHE MUST HAVE FORGOTTEN SOMETHING.
RUDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? VANESSA WANTS TO BE ALONE.
GO IN OUR ROOM, OKAY? OKAY.
WHO IS IT? IT'S ME.
MOM, I'D LIKE TO BE ALONE.
I'M ONLY GOING TO TALK TO YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO DOWNSTAIRS.
VANESSA, IT'S NOT EXACTLY THE END OF THE WORLD.
I WANT TO MOVE IN WITH GRANDMA AND GRANDPA.
I CAN JUST TRANSFER TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
VANESSA, I'M SURE THAT EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS.
IT HAPPENED IN FRONT OF ROBERT FOREMAN.
THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT.
I REMEMBER JIMMY PETERSON.
JIMMY USED TO HANG OUT AT THE CITY POOL ALL SUMMER.
HE WAS THE FINEST THING THERE.
I KNEW THAT IF I WANTED TO BE HIS GIRLFRIEND I HAD TO GET HIM TO NOTICE ME.
SO ONE DAY I CLIMBED THE HIGH DIVE WHICH ONLY THE ABSOLUTE COOLEST GIRLS DID BECAUSE I KNEW HE WAS WATCHING.
WHAT HAPPENED? WELL, I STRUTTED OUT ON THAT BOARD GOT TO THE EDGE, LOOKED DOWN AND DISCOVERED WHY THEY CALL THE HIGH DIVE THE "HIGH" DIVE.
I STOOD THERE TREMBLING, WITH EVERYONE LOOKING UP AT ME.
WHAT'D YOU DO? I MADE EVERYBODY WAITING ON THE LADDER GET OFF SO I COULD GET DOWN.
I WAS SO EMBARRASSED I NEVER SPOKE TO JIMMY AGAIN.
THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP WITH YOUR FATHER.
YOU'RE SAYING I SHOULD WAIT FOR THE NEXT GUY.
NO, HONEY, NO! WHAT I'M SAYING IS THINGS ARE NEVER AS BAD AS THEY SEEM AT THE TIME.
( KNOCK ) YES? JANET WANTS TO SEE YOU, OKAY? OKAY.
VANESSA, WE WERE ALL JUST TALKING ABOUT YOU.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED.
COULD YOU DO IT AGAIN? SOMEBODY ELSE WANTS TO SAY HELLO.
HI.
HI, AUDREY.
VANESSA, I WASN'T THIRSTY ANYWAY.
THANK YOU.
CLIFF: SCOTT.
HI.
VANESSA: HI, SCOTT.
THE PARTY'S NOT THE SAME SINCE YOU LEFT.
NO ONE'S DANCING.
REALLY? THEY CAN'T.
THERE'S GLASS ON THE FLOOR.
OKAY, EVERYBODY, COME ON IN.
WE'VE DECIDED TO MOVE THE PARTY UP HERE.
YOU CAN ALL HANG OUT HERE.
BUT I DON'T WANT ANYBODY ON ANY OF THESE BEDS IN A HORIZONTAL POSITION.
VANESSA-- SOMEBODY'S WAITING FOR YOU.
HI.
HI.
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
THANK YOU.
ARE YOU OKAY? I'LL BE FINE.
VANESSA, IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU SOMETIME? YEAH! MAYBE I COULD WALK YOU TO SCHOOL TOMORROW.
OKAY.
I LEAVE AT EIGHT O'CLOCK.
I'LL BE HERE.
GREAT! EVEN IF IT'S RAINING.
OKAY.
BUT IF IT SNOWS, I HAVE TO ASK MY DAD.
OKAY.
VANESSA? WHAT? WANT TO GO STEADY? DO YOU WANT TO GO STEADY? IF YOU WANT TO.
SURE! I WANT TO.
WELL, I GUESS WE'RE GOING STEADY.
I GUESS WE'RE GOING STEADY.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? WELL, IT MEANS I'LL CALL YOU, AND WALK YOU TO SCHOOL.
I'D LIKE THAT.
MY HAND'S ALL SWEATY.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE GOING STEADY.
I WANT MY ROOM BACK.
WHY DON'T YOU STAY HERE AND JOIN OUR PARTY? LET'S HAVE A PARTY DOWN HERE TOGETHER.
LET'S PUT SOME MUSIC ON.
RUDY-- COME HERE, QUICK.
DO YOU SEE THAT GUY OVER THERE? RUDY: DADDY? I WANT YOU TO GO OVER THERE AND TELL HIM THAT YOU HEARD THAT I THOUGHT THAT HE WAS CUTE.
MOMMY SAID THAT SHE HEARD THAT SHE THINKS THAT YOU'RE CUTE.
WHO? MOMMY! MOMMY HEARD THAT SHE THINKS SHE'S CUTE? YOU! YOU TELL HER THAT I THINK THAT SHE IS AAAALLLL RIGHT.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, COME BACK! DON'T TELL HER I SAID IT.
TELL HER YOU HEARD THAT I MIGHT HAVE SAID THAT.
DADDY SAID THAT HE MIGHT HAVE HEARD THAT YOU ARE GORRRGEOUS.
I WANT YOU TO GO BACK AND TELL HIM THAT YOU THOUGHT YOU HEARD THAT I MIGHT HAVE SAID THAT I'D LIKE TO GO ON A DATE WITH HIM SATURDAY NIGHT AT 12:05.
MOMMY SAID THAT SHE HEARD SHE WANTS TO GO OUT WITH YOU SATURDAY NIGHT AT 3-0-0.
TELL HER THAT AT ZERO-300 THE LEUKOCYTES WILL TAKE OVER ALL OF THE MINEJECTNO FIELDS.
AND THAT I WILL KISS HER ON THE COURT STEPS OF THE THERESA HOTEL.
HE SAID THAT THE ZUCLOMATS WHEN THEY GO HE WANTS TO MEET YOU ON THE STEPS IN THE HOTEL OR SOMETHING.
NOW NO, NO, NO, COME ON.
WHAT DID SHE SAY? NO! SHE SAID, "NO"? NO, NO, NO, COME ON.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? NOW, DANCE! OKAY.
PUT YOUR FEET ON TOP OF YOUR DADDY'S.
