Denise Huxtable quotes from The Cosby Show

Denise

Mom, Dad, the Kendalls are home!

Denise

There's someone here I'd like you to meet.

Clair

Oh, Martin, she's adorable. Isn't she, Cliff?

Cliff

She's too short.

Martin

[to Denise] You forgot to confirm the housing?

That's what I told you!

Martin

Sorry, sir. I'm taken off guard. Denise, I told you!!

Denise

I know. I'm sorry.

Would you like me to leave you two alone?

Denise

Gosh, you know, all I want to do is help children and no one will let me!

Denise, why are you so hardheaded? The man didn't say that; he said you have to get an education to be of help here.

Denise

Well, I am ready now if Uncle Wilton would work with me!

Uncle Wilton already has enough children to work with; he doesn't need one as old as you! Denise, why don't you want to go to college? Why are you so afraid to go to college?

Denise

Because! I am ready now!

You know, a lot of people think they can just walk in off the street and do something because it looks easy! But they don't realize you have to work hard to make something look easy.

Denise

How about when you have a date with a guy you really like?

Vanessa

Go ahead, tell him Denise.

Denise

And your father insists on meeting him. So what does he do? He takes the guy into the kitchen...

Cliff

Have a little talk.

Denise

Yeah, have a little talk with your four-foot buck-knife!

Vanessa

You took Jeremy into that kitchen, took two apples put them on top of each other. Said that was us. Took one of the apples, skinned it, and said that was him. I haven't heard from the boy since.

Denise

It says there is room for three kids.

Martin

Where, on the stove?

Denise

(pulling out one drawer) Here's one.

Martin

Olivia sleeps in a drawer?

Denise

(pulling out another drawer) Here's two. (studying the blueprint and walking toward the fridge) Here's three!

Martin

Well, what if you get hungry in the middle of the night? What are you supposed to do, fold the kid up?
