The reason I came down here was, I've been thinking, and I wanted to know if you wanted to go look for a motorcycle. :Theo: Are you serious?!
No.
S2 E7Denise Drives
Denise, deep down, you know you can pretty much do anything you want because you know we're always there to bail you out. You see, we're your safety net. We're so good at it, half the time you don't even know we're doing it. And, your father and I accept that responsibility because we're your parents. And, you'd better not ever forget that, young lady. Because if you EVER take THIS attitude with us again, you can take whatever is in that bank account of yours and go DISCOVER America!
I bet I know what she wants. She wants to borrow your car.
No, I think she want's to borrow your car.
I don't think so.
Why?
Because my car is a Station Wagon. Now when was the last time you saw a teenager driving a Station Wagon?
I better hide my car.
It's important for a young, available man to have wheels.
Why is that?
Because he who walks, walks alone.

S2 E8Rudy Suits Up
[as the family gets ready to watch Rudy in a football game] All right, now everyone's in the car, come on.
If you don't mind, I think I'd rather stay here.
But today, is your daughter's football debut! Today, we're going to watch the Gray Ghost gallop!
Cliff, I really don't think I can take this.
Yeah but you said to me, when our son was going to play, you said 'Cliff, I think it's important that the father be down there to watch the boy.' Now I'm telling you, 'Claire I think it's important for the mother to go down and watch the daughter.' Now come on.
All right I'm gonna go, but I'm telling you right now. If anybody, ANYBODY at all, tries to hurt my baby, I'm gonna go out there and stop them.
This is gonna be a wonderful game, see a mother running out on the field throwing somebody's child up in the stands.

S2 E9Clair's Sister
[Theo comes in with a record]
Hey, dad.
[setting up a chess board] Hey, son. Did you get the record you wanted?
Yes, and I was lucky. This was the last one in the store.
How much did it cost?
Uhh, $7.88.
And how much money did I give you?
Ten dollars.
[Cliff looks at Theo with a big grin on his face for a few seconds]
So...?
So?
[Cliff holds out his hands in a shaking motion, Theo gives him a high five] NO! No, no no! Where's my change?
Change?
Change!
Well, I didn't know you wanted it back.
Well since when have you know for me to give somebody a three dollar bonus for borrowing seven dollars?
AAl
Sarah, I'm not sure I want you to get married.
SSarah
Why not?
AAl
[hugging Clair] Well I lost one girl, already. I'm not sure I'm ready to lose another.
Well you can have that one back if you want.
GGarvin
What are they laughing at?
AAl
Us.
They're laughing at what we are, and what you're going to be.
GGarvin
What's that?
A husband.
AAl
I wonder how they'd feel if we all laughed at them.
We can't.
GGarvin
Why not?
Because they're not funny.

S2 E10Denise's Friend
[Clair is playfully strangling Cliff, because he is having trouble recalling the night he proposed to her]
[enters] Hi dad.
[rough voice] Oh, hi.
