Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : [unable to see that he is fighting a losing battle] Okay. Well, the stork puts the baby inside of the mother...
[Olivia shakes her head]
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : ...and then I go in and I take it out.
Olivia Kendall : Ah aah. The stork brings the baby to the hospital and drops it in the bassinet.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : So you say that the baby is not inside the mummy?
[Olivia nods in agreement]
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Then why is it that the mother gets real big?
Olivia Kendall : Because she eats a lot of food.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Now let me get this straight. You say that the stork carries over, puts the baby in the bassinet, and the mother is real big because she eats a lot of food?
Olivia Kendall : You got it.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : I see. Well, then why is it that the mother has to go to the hospital?
Olivia Kendall : The stork brings the baby to the hospital, drops it in the bassinet. The mummy goes to the hospital and gets it.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : [not yet ready to admit defeat] If the stork does all that, why doesn't the stork just bring it to the mummy's house?
Olivia Kendall : [makes a gesture of impatience] Because it's too far. His wings will get tired.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Where does the stork get the babies from?
Olivia Kendall : Heaven.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Okay. There is a zillion skillion babies in Heaven. How does the stork know what baby goes with what mother?
Olivia Kendall : They are in a line. You know like you go to the baker and get a number.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : [still not ready to admit defeat] Why when I put my hand on the mother I can feel things moving all around?
Olivia Kendall : That's not a baby.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : What is it?
Olivia Kendall : Gas.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : [finally realizing he has lost] Well thank you for explaining it to me.
Olivia Kendall : You're welcome, but you still haven't told me what you do.
Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : I'm in charge of gas.
