- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I am a doctor for women.
- Olivia Kendall: What do you do with them?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I deliver their babies.
- Olivia Kendall: Deliver?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: When the woman has the baby inside of her, then I go in and I take it out.
- Olivia Kendall: No you don't. Everybody knows that the stork brings the baby.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Who told you that?
- Olivia Kendall: My daddy.
- 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.
