I don't know what to say, but I know what to play.

Vanessa, that's a pretty name.
Thank you, Sir.
You're welcome, Madam.
Jammin' on the one.
S2 E20Close to Home
Well, I believe that's the first time a Morehouse man has had nothing to say!
Or come to a Hillman man for advice!
Well, it's saying something to me right now.
What?
It's saying, "Bring me a tea bag."

S2 E21An Early Spring
Why do I need math? When I get older, I'm gonna inherit my dad's scrap-iron business.
You need math because you're gonna have to be able to count the pieces of metal as they come off the line.
We have a foreman who does that.
Okay, you need math so you can count the money.
We have an accountant who does that.
Then you're gonna be broke!
No way!
If the foreman can count and the accountant can count and you can't, you're gonna be broke!
You can't ride to the park unless you are accompanied by an adult.
Will you 'upcompany' me?

S2 E22Theo's Holiday
Dad, can I have an advance on my allowance?
I'm sorry son, you're already backed up to your 50th birthday.
[as Amanda] Welcome to Amanda's Furniture City! Where money talks and nobody walks. If you like it you touch it, if you break it you buy it. If you don't see it we don't have it but we will get it. Now what can I do for you?
...
You are in luck! Because here at Furniture City, we accept all major credit cards.
I don't have any of those.
You are in luck! Because here at Furniture City, we accept personal checks.
I don't have any personal checks.
Then you are about to leave Furniture City!
Mom!
That's Amanda!
Cockroach!
That's Mr. Dansbury to you!
[as Ms. Firestone] Do you have any experience?
No, but I look good!
[after Denise and Clair tell Theo what the real world is like] Your mother and your sister are absolutely correct. You see, we´re your family. We love you. We let you borrow money even you´re not qualified to pay it back. If you get out in the real world, it´s going to be different.
But when I get in the real world, I´m doing just fine, ´cause I´m gonna have a lot of money.
I hope you´re not waiting for me to die.
No, I´m gonna earn it.
How?
I´m going to be a model.
[Vanessa, Rudy and Cliff laugh at Theo]
[seriously talks about Theo´s debt to her] I want my quarter now!
