S3 E1Bring 'em Back Alive

Okay, here we go. "The Reptile Family." Sort of a who's who of snakes. [chuckles and give the book to Cliff]

Okay, here we are. [opens the book to the first page]

[immediately points to the page] THAT'S IT! [short pause] That's it!

[in disbelief] This is the snake? [Rudy nods] That's an anaconda. It lives in Brazil.

Rudy, it's 25 feet long and weighs 200 pounds!

That's what I saw.

I don't think this snake lives in the United States.

It could come for a visit.

I'm going to call the zoo.

The zoo?! The zoo does not want a garter snake. Garter snakes go to the zoo to see real snakes.

S3 E2Food for Thought

Clair, I really enjoyed the dinner today.

Well, I have a snack just for you, TA-DA.

What is it?

Delicious rice cakes, 35 calories, Cliff. 0 Salt, 0 Fat, 0 Cholesterol.

Zero taste. Clair, I want food, like pulpeta.

No, No.

Yes, I want pulpeta.

S3 E5Mother, May I?

Mmm, mmm,mmm, mmm. It is amazing what you can find when a person takes off her sunglasses.

Mom, I didn't mean to put on the make-up. But, all of a sudden all of this stuff was on my face. It was like temporary insanity!

S3 E7Theo's Flight

[After Rudy announces that she has a boyfriend, named Bud]

Now, Rudy, I thought you told me I was your boyfriend.

You're too old!

[laughing] Cockroach, it's amazing! You get turned down by women of ALL ages!

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 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.
