FREEZE.
FREEZE!
YOU ARE DOING TWO THINGS WRONG.
WHAT'S NUMBER ONE?
I'M STANDING ON A CHAIR.
YOU'RE STANDING ON A CHAIR.
AND WHAT'S NUMBER TWO?
OH...
WHERE ARE YOUR HANDS?
YOUR HANDS ARE ON THIS CLOCK.
TAKE YOUR HANDS OFF OF THIS CLOCK.
NOW...
WHY, MY DEAR
WERE YOU STANDING...
ON THIS CHAIR?
HUH?
THE CLOCK DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT TIME.
SO YOU STOOD
ON THIS CHAIR TO TELL THE CLOCK THAT?
NO.
WHAT WERE YOU DOING?
FIXING IT.
SO YOU ARE NOW A CLOCK FIXER?
DO YOU REALIZE
YOU'RE THE ONLY CHILD IN THIS HOUSE WHO HAS A JOB?
FIRST OF ALL
YOU KNOW THE RULES-
WE DO NOT MAKE LADDERS OUT OF FURNITURE.
RIGHT.
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE
THAT THIS WRISTWATCH YOU HAVE ON IS CORRECT
AND THE CLOCK ISN'T?
MY WATCH IS NEWER.
JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING IS NEW
IT RUNS BETTER THAN SOMETHING THAT'S OLDER?
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING, SMILING FACE?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW THAT I AM OLDER THAN YOU?
YES.
DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE NEWER THAN ME?
YES.
BUT I RUN BETTER THAN YOU.
I NEVER FALL
UNLESS I DIDN'T SEE SOMETHING.
NOW YOU OWE ME A ZRBTT.
MOMMY!
HI!
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 GIVE VANESSA A RIDE HOME.
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.
HOW DID YOU GET HOME?
I WALKED.
TWELVE AND A HALF BLOCKS
WITH THE FREEZING CANADIAN WIND LASHING AT MY FACE.
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 DRIVING ALONG
GOING TO PICK UP VANESSA
AND WE COME TO THE INTERSECTION OF 17 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 IT RAN RIGHT 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!
BUT 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!
AND AFTER SCHOOL
A WHOLE MOB CAME TO LOOK AT THE DENT.
COCKROACH SAID WE SHOULD CHARGE EVERYONE A DOLLAR.
HUXTABLE RESIDENCE.
YES, THIS IS HE.
* HELLO, TANYA. *
HI, DENISE.
HI, MOM.
DID YOU CALL THE INSURANCE COMPANY?
YES, I NEED TWO ESTIMATES BEFORE IT GETS FIXED.
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.
IT ONLY TAKES 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 TWO IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND YOU CAN BUY YOUR PARENTS A BIGGER HOUSE
AND THEY CAN RETIRE.
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.
WE'RE GOING TO MEET STEVIE WONDER!
BABY!
THE PEOPLE AT THE OFFICE WILL NEVER BELIEVE THIS ONE!
* ISN'T SHE LOVELY? *
* LIVING JUST ENOUGH FOR THE CITY *
* A LITTLE OLD MAN *
GARIEL.
YEAH, STEVIE.
PUT MORE HIGH ON THE SYNCLAVIER.
YOU GOT IT.
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.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
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.
GARIEL.
- YEAH, STEVIE? - THIS ISN'T HAPPENING.
LET'S TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
NO PROBLEM, STEVIE.

WANT TO BE ON MY ALBUM?
YEAH.
WHAT SOUND DOES THE GIRAFFE MAKE?
BEAUTIFUL.
I'VE GOT YOU IN MY SYNCLAVIER.

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"?

JA-JA-JA-JAMMIN'.
DENISE, YOUR TURN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
I DON'T KNOW...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.
PERFECT!
AND NOW, CLAIR HUXTABLE.
DON'T YOU ASK ME HOW OLD I AM.
I WON'T ASK HOW OLD YOU ARE.
I WANT YOU TO SING.
I DON'T KNOW...
GO ON.
SING.
ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
I'D ONLY DO THIS FOR MY CHILDREN.
JUST A SIMPLE "LA"- THAT'S ALL I NEED.
* LA *

THIS IS HOT.
THIS IS REALLY HOT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'VE EVEN GOT YOUR HUSBAND SAYING "BABY."

HOW DID HE DO THAT?

BBBBBBBBABY.
OKAY, LET ME SEE.
LET'S MAKE A TAPE FOR THE FAMILY, GARIEL.

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.
MUSIC IS A WONDERFUL THING.
NO MATTER HOW OLD YOU GET
THERE ARE SOME SONGS THAT CAN DO IT FOR YOU.
YOU PLAY THEM YEARS LATER
AND YOU CAN ALMOST SMELL, TOUCH, FEEL, HEAR AND BE THERE.
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.
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING.
ALL RIGHT.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY."
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, BUT I DO KNOW WHAT TO PLAY.
