Cliff, now this may be impossible, but do you think you can calm down?

Cliff

[happily swerving] Calm? Sure I can be calm!

Cliff, your eyes are dancing.

Cliff

Are they? [walks to a mirror] Let me see. [looks in the mirror] They are, aren't they? They are! They are dancing!

Cliff, come on now sit down.

Cliff

No no, do me a favor, do me a favor, say it again. I wanna see them dance, let 'em go! Let 'em go! Say it!

Football!

Cliff

THERE THEY GO!

There has to be a pair of pants there too.

Theo

Don't you want something better for your son?

Cliff

Sure, you wanna trade your room for that shirt?

Theo

No.

Cliff

All right then, The shirt goes back.

Oh just holding him sets off all these weird stirs, and I wonder if I don't want another one...

Cliff

Uhh, let me help you. You don't.

So, you're saying you don't want another one?

Cliff

Claire, sometimes I don't even want the ones we have now.

When you and Cliff got married, what did I say?

You wanted me to have a child.

Why?

Revenge.

The entree, Dr. Huxtable's Salisbury Steak deluxe!

I'm sorry, Dr. Huxtable, I don't eat meat.

Hello? ... This better be necessary. [hands the phone to Claire] It's for you.

[on the other end] Good night mom! And don't bring home another baby!

Cliff

Look my folks are not coming over to eat, they are coming over here to spoil the children.

Well what do you expect? They're grandparents.

Cliff

Right, grandparents, all right. These are not the same people I grew up with, these are the biggest hypocrites you've ever seen.

Your mother's one of the sweetest people I've ever met.

Cliff

I didn't say she wasn't sweet. But this woman comes over here to the house, kisses every child. 'Just come here and kiss your grandmother. Oh you're just the most beautiful children on the face of this earth!' But when I was her child, I'm telling you, this woman, all she ever wanted to do was take a stick and ask God to give her enough strength so she could knock us somewhere! And to this day, I still don't know where Kingdom-come is. And all she is, as far as I'm concerned, is an old person trying to get into Heaven now.
