Cockroach quotes from The Cosby Show

Cockroach

Why do I need math? When I get older, I'm gonna inherit my dad's scrap-iron business.

Cliff

You need math because you're gonna have to be able to count the pieces of metal as they come off the line.

Cockroach

We have a foreman who does that.

Cliff

Okay, you need math so you can count the money.

Cockroach

We have an accountant who does that.

Cliff

Then you're gonna be broke!

Cockroach

No way!

Cliff

If the foreman can count and the accountant can count and you can't, you're gonna be broke!
