You're not going to fly, and I'll give you three reasons why. First in order to learn to fly you must be young, second, to go off flying you need time, and as a physician, you don't have that, and third, you're not allowed.
Who says?
I says, Bud.
S3 E7Theo's Flight
S3 E8Vanessa's Rich
[to Cliff and Clair] It's YOUR fault I have this problem. If you weren't rich, I wouldn't have this problem.
Your mother and I are rich. YOU have nothing!
Vanessa, you are rich because you have got a family that loves you!
S3 E9Denise Gets a D
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.
S3 E14Rudy Spends the Night
MMaxine
Theo, why do you think we came over here?
To get help with your math.
MMaxine
Why would we do that when we get higher grades in math than you do?
S3 E16Denise Gets an Opinion
You were saying that in life you must always move forward.
Yes, but I was hoping we could move forward together.
We will...as friends.
[sadly] Okay, I hear what you're saying.
And who knows what the future holds. Maybe I'll feel differently in time.
Vanessa?
Yeah?
Would it speed things up if I begged?
S3 E17Calling Dr. Huxtable
Smoking's not good for you. It makes your breath stink, it gets your lungs dirty, and then you die. Smoking also causes forest fires, which is why you never see animals smoke.
I think she gets the point, Rudy.
None of MY friends smoke!
Wait, Theo said that when you caught him and Cockroach smoking, you yelled so loud you cracked the walls.
Yeah, because those two fools were upstairs smoking, I knock on the door and they say, Just a minute! Just a minute', Just a minute please! so I open the door. They go 'Hi dad!' and 'Hi Dr. Huxtable', they've tossed the cigarettes under the bed still lit! Smoke's coming up, I ask a dumb question, I say 'have you been smoking?' they go 'Oh no' and smoke's coming out the side of their mouths, I say what's that? They say 'Oh well we were trying this very strong beef jerky'. They're lucky I didn't crack more than the walls by yelling.
S3 E18You Only Hurt the One You Love
Theo, since you enjoy playing circus so much, you can be part of one: the Huxtable circus. This is the big top. And you get to clean the big top from top to bottom, stating with those windows. Then you can do the floors.
Look at it this way son; here, no elephants.
S3 E20Cliff's 50th Birthday
Turning fifty is a monumental occasion in a man's life.
Oh, Lord, who let this child in the house?
MMark
[who is in the doghouse with Clair] I'd really like to talk to Clair.
Alright, but just remember. You don't have me to block for you any more.
S3 E22Andalusian Flu
[Clair and Cliff are in bed sick]
Let's call Theo.
Okay, on the count of three: one, two, three!
Cliff and Clair: [Very weakly] Theo...Theo.
I'm all yelled out.
Cliff, do you think any of them will ever come up and check on us?
I don't think so, dear. I think they've got us right where they want us.
How are we going to get the water?
I'll get it. Gimme some help.
[Clair gives him a nudge out of bed and he immediately falls on his face]
Cliff?
Hm?
Are you okay?
Yes, dear. I'm just gonna take a little nap.
Do you have to hammer?
WWorkman
I don't HAVE to...but I wouldn't feel right getting paid for just standing here.
S3 E23Bald and Beautiful
SScott
You mean Clair lets you eat potato chips?
Lets me eat potato chips!?! I'm a man, I'll eat what I want!
JJill
Honey, if you touch that pizza, you're dead.
SScott
Dear, one little piece of pizza won't hurt me.
JJill
I'll kill you.
