OliviaI don't have any friends. I live here with a bunch of old people.
Olivia, this is Denise's father. His name is Dr. Huxtable.
OliviaHi.
And how are you?
OliviaI'm fine.
Good. Do you have a job?
OliviaNo.
Then I guess I can't get any money out of you.
OliviaI have money.
You do? How much?
OliviaI have a lot of it. You can have some if you want.
I know this is not one of my children.
Would you tell my mom something for me?
OliviaSure, your Mom's nice. What'd you do?
I borrowed some money to buy a sweat shirt.
OliviaThat's not so bad.
It was the money she set out for the cleaners.
OliviaThat's not so bad.
She put the money on the counter, and Kenny said he'd give me the money if I sold him my Magic Johnson poster, and I did, and he didn't, so I took the money from Mom.
OliviaSorry, Rudy, I think you're on your own.
(after Alfred shoots and hits the backboard.)
OliviaWOW! You hit the backboard!
(laughing) You just keep practicing and someday you will be good enough to hit the backboard, too!
Last year I wanted a Maserati for my birthday and Mrs. Huxtable wouldn't let me have one.
OliviaWell, if you tell Daddy and Denise that I want a pony, I'll tell Mrs. Huxtable that you want a Mister Ragi!
(after Olivia is told to eat liver)
OliviaEw, I hate liver. It tastes icky.
Oh, but it's so good for you.
OliviaIf it's so good for you, why don't you eat it?
Uh-oh.
What did you just say to me, young lady?
OliviaI said, you eat it. Please.
Okay. (starts eating)
Mom!
Oh, but Rudy she said "please."
Olivia (turns to Cliff): You eat it too. Please.
Please doesn't work on me.
OliviaI'll be your best friend.
(Cliff starts eating the liver)
Dad!
I want to be her best friend.
What is this? [taking a hand out of the fridge]
OliviaMy hand, I made it myself.
Do you need an extra?
OliviaYes
What for?
OliviaYou never know.
Olivia(bowing) Oh-hi-yo.
(bowing) New Jersey.
Miriam Makeba (to Olivia): Excuse me, I didn't know anybody was living in the closet.
OliviaThat's allright, I don't really live in here, I'm hiding.
But your family's worried about you, why are you hiding?
OliviaMy daddy's going away for 3 months and he promised me he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. So if he can't find me, he can't tell me goodbye.
At least you got somebody to say goodbye to. They just left me.
Olivia(about her dad) If he goes away, I'll be all alone.
In my culture, there isn't a word for alone, it simply does not exist. Everybody is family, meaning everybody is responsible for somebody else.
OliviaI like the sound of that.
