Rudy Huxtable: [Cliff is sitting on the sofa] I broke your juicer.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Is this the same juicer that I said 'Don't touch'? Is this the same juicer I said 'Mine, mine, mine'?
Rudy Huxtable: Are you mad at me?
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yes, yes, yes.
Rudy Huxtable: I'm sorry.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Come here.
[Rudy gives him a kiss and a hug]
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Now, Rudy Huxtable, I hereby find you guilty of operating a household appliance without permission. With the powers vested in me, I sentence you to cleaning up the low part of the kitchen. Your sister is doing the high part. Case closed.
Rudy Huxtable: Okay.
[Rudy gives Cliff a kiss and hug, and runs into the kitchen]
Clair Huxtable: Not so fast, Dr. Huxtable! I propose that my client, Rudy Huxtable, had an accomplice.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Oh, well, he's still in the clothes hamper.
[referring to Theo]
Clair Huxtable: That's not who I'm speaking of. May I ask you a question, Dr. Huxtable? Who left the juicer plugged into the electrical socket with the top off?
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Theo.
Clair Huxtable: Perhaps I should remind you of the penalty for perjury in this state. Let me rephrase the question, Dr. Huxtable. Did *you* leave the juicer plugged into the electrical socket with the top off?
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: See, I don't think..
Clair Huxtable: Just answer the question, please. Yes or no.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: What I'm trying..
Clair Huxtable: Did you?
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yeah, but..
Clair Huxtable: Then you admit it. You're guilty! You're guilty of contributing to the delinquency of a six-year-old!
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I object!
Clair Huxtable: [sits on the neighboring chair] Overruled.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Don't be the judge and the lawyer.
Clair Huxtable: Yes I am!
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Well, then,
[moves to the other side of the sofa next to Clair]
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I throw myself at the mercy of the court.
Clair Huxtable: The court has no mercy on liars. You are hereby sentenced to five years' appliance probation which means you may not buy, look at or touch an appliance.
[Cliff kisses Clair's hands]
Clair Huxtable: Don't influence the judge. That's 10 more years!
[Cliff kisses Clair's wrist]
Clair Huxtable: I find you in contempt of court! That's 15 more years.
[Cliff reaches for her neck]
Clair Huxtable: Cliff, now what are you doing?
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I'm going for life.
[hugs her and she laughs]
