Denise Huxtable quotes from The Cosby Show

Denise

In high school, my teacher watched me work very closely. He supervised my work, told me how to do my work and that's why I passed high school. In college, the professors just give me an assignment, say "Do it", and then don't say a word about it until it's due.

Denise

Dad, it's okay to be weird here, but you're going outside the house now.

Theo

He's a minister, Dad, he'll tell God we're crazy.

Cliff

[Talking to Denise's boy-friend] If you don't plan on going to college then what do you plan on doing?

David

I think I'm going to just spend some time trying to find myself.

Cliff

And how long do you think that's going to take?

David

About five or ten years.

Cliff

In that amount of time you could find yourself and a few other people.

Denise

Dinners ready. [as Cliff walks by] So how do you like him?

I don't know if it's him or not; he hasn't found himself yet.

I'm a vegetarian.

I'm sorry, I only eat brown rice.
