In this episode: Cliff Huxtable (4), Clair Huxtable (2), Theo Huxtable (2)
The joy of a birthday, is finding out what the present is, before one gets it. And you know I always do.
Not this year.
'Not this year.' You say that every year, and every year, I find out. So what do you want to do, you want to tell me what it is now sweetie? Or do you want me to start working on the children?
You may work on whomever you please.
Really?
But you're not going to find out anything.
Let the games begin.
So I know there's going to be a present for me, boy. So, what is it?
Come on, Dad, you know I can't tell you.
[chuckles] I know that. How old are you now?
14.
14. Two years from now, you're going to want a car. I'm the only one who can buy it for you. So my boy, what's it gonna be?
Okay, Dad.
Okay.
[a moment passes as the two look around to make sure no one is watching]
This year, everyone is pitching in to get you something you're really gonna love.
Cliff Well what is it?
[another moment passes as the two look around to make sure no one is watching]
Theo They won't tell me.
