The Cosby Show, Season 2

Clair:
Would you and Dr. Huxtable like some coffee?

Elvin:
Coffee?

Clair:
Yes, coffee.

Elvin:
You mean, you're gonna get it?

Clair:
Yes, you're surprised?

Elvin:
I'm sorry Mrs. Huxtable, I didn't think you did that kind of thing.

Clair:
What kind of thing?

Elvin:
You know....serve.

[Cliff sits down rubbing his face]

Clair:
Serve whom?

Elvin:
Serve him. [pointing to Cliff]

Clair:
Oh, serve him! You mean like, serve your man?

Elvin:
Well yeah.

Clair:
Let me tell you something Elvin. You see, I am not serving Dr. Huxtable. Okay?

Elvin:
Okay.

Clair:
That's the kind of thing that goes on in a restaurant. Now I am gonna bring him a cup of coffee just like he brought me a cup of coffee this morning. And that, young man, is what marriage is made of, it is give and take 50/50. And if you don't get it together, and drop these macho attitudes, you ain't never gonna have anybody bringing you anything anywhere anyplace anytime evah! Now what would you like in your coffee?

Elvin:
Maybe I could get you some coffee.

Clair:
Elvin that's all right. I don't mind getting it. But thanks for offering.

[Clair leaves room]

Cliff:
Elvin?

Elvin:
Yes sir?

Cliff:
When she brings the coffee back, if I were you I wouldn't drink it.
