The Cosby Show, Season 4

Rudy:
Mom?

Clair:
Yes, honey.

Rudy:
This is the dress I'm wearing to Kelly's party, okay? Okay, bye.

Clair:
Just a minute, Rudy.

Rudy:
Yes, Mom.

Clair:
Come here, please.

Rudy:
What for?

Clair:
Just come here. You know, just last month we put that dress and all your summer clothes in a trunk, and I told you it's getting too cold for you to wear them.

Rudy:
Yesterday, it was hot.

Clair:
Well, I know, but yesterday was an unusual day. Today it's 52 degrees.

Rudy:
It's probably going to get hot when the party starts.

Clair:
I don't think so, Rudy. The weatherman says it's gonna get colder, so why don't you take that dress and put it back in the trunk.

Rudy:
But this is my favorite dress. Can I wear it to the party? Please?

Clair:
Mmm, I want you to dress warm.

Rudy:
I am warm.

Clair:
Well, you're in the house. But, Rudy, if you go outside dressed like that, you're gonna catch a cold.

Rudy:
I don't care, as long as I can wear my dress.

Clair:
I'm sorry. The answer is "no."

Rudy:
But I wanna wear it.

Clair:
Well, I'm sorry, sweetie. You're not wearing it.

Rudy:
Yes I am.

Clair:
Young lady... don't you talk back to me. A "no" is a "no," understand?

Rudy:
But, Mommy, you're making me feel bad.

Clair:
Oh, Rudy, if you don't listen to me, you're gonna feel much worse. Now take that dress, put it back in the trunk, and let's have no further discussion about it, please.

Rudy:
I have one more question.

Clair:
Yes, what is it?

Rudy:
Can I wear my dress to the party this one time? Please?

Clair:
No. Upstairs now.

Rudy:
But Mo--

Clair:
Rudy! If I hear one more word out of you, you're not going to that party. I mean it.
