“I'm IN with the 'IN' Crowd” · Season 6, Episode 3
In this episode: Cliff Huxtable (3), Clair Huxtable (2), Theo Huxtable (1), Vanessa Huxtable (1)
Cliff, Angela Henning just called to say that while she and her husband went out, her daughter and her friends- our daughter included - decided to play the alphabet game while chug-a-lugging bourbon, and it seems that Vanessa was very drunk when she left.
She must have lost.
[hungover] Daddy? Oh, Daddy...My stomach hurts. My head...EVERYTHING hurts. Please...give me something, anything...!
[gently] Nothing I can give you, kid. There's no cure for this.
I never thought Vanessa would crack under the pressure.
What pressure?
The pressure of growing up in this family. Because of what you guys have accomplished, people expect a lot more from us than other kids. Think about it, you're a lawyer, dad's a doctor. That's a lot of pressure mom.
We never said "become a doctor" "become a lawyer", we said "go to school, study, become whatever you want".
There you go, pressure! "Go to school" "become something", that's a lot of pressure, mom. All my friends see it.
Theo, when do you feel this pressure?
Every now and then.
This isn't about pressure, Vanessa got drunk because she and her friends were bored. Although they had television, VCR, video cassettes, audio cassettes, books.
And each other.
Thank you.
That they call every five minutes when they're away, yet they were bored together.
So you see, she did not feel any pressure from us, the only pressure she felt was from her friends.
