S6 E9Thanksgiving at the Huxtables

[Cliff walks in with a small bag of groceries after being sent out for a second time in a big rain storm]

There's your dumb canned pumpkin, your stupid eggs, and your silly nut.

Nutmeg, and thank you. [kisses Cliff] Will you take those wet things off before you catch a cold? [begins to unpack the groceries] Cliff, there are no eggs in here!

There's eggs in there! I put eggs in there, I bought eggs! [Claire lifts up the bag to show him it is empty] I don't care what that bag says, there's eggs in there!

CClaire

How am I supposed to make corn bread without eggs?

People don't need, uh, corn bread! Let- let 'em eat soda crackers!

S6 E10Grampy and Nu-Nu Visit the Huxtables

And here we have the basement. This is the only room in the house where I can enjoy complete privacy because of the offspring repellent.

S6 E14Cliff's Nightmare

Waldorf (about Cliff): He doesn't look like he can deliver a baby!

SStatler

He doesn't look like he can deliver a pizza!

S6 E17Not Everybody Loves the Blues

[Singing the blues] What am I to do? Surrounded by all these men. My sailor man is at sea. Now what was his name again?

S6 E18Rudy's Walk on the Wildside

Would you tell my mom something for me?

Sure, your Mom's nice. What'd you do?

I borrowed some money to buy a sweat shirt.

That's not so bad.

It was the money she set out for the cleaners.

That's not so bad.

She put the money on the counter, and Kenny said he'd give me the money if I sold him my Magic Johnson poster, and I did, and he didn't, so I took the money from Mom.

Sorry, Rudy, I think you're on your own.

[Rudy tells Cliff that she stole money]

If it was just $2.30, why'd you steal it? If it was just $2.30, why didn't you just come and ask me for it?

If I would've asked you for the $2.30, you would've asked "What's it for?" and I would've said "A sweat shirt", and you would've said "Do you know how much they paid coal miners in 1919?"

S6 E20Isn't It Romantic?

(about being romantic) I've got five children. I don't need to prove anything to anybody!

S6 E21Theo's Dirty Laundry

When are you gonna get it, Theo? This is not about living with Justine. This is about doing something behind our backs and then lying to us about what it is you're doing!

I'm sorry.

The other day, you said your mother and I were controlling you with our money and that you and Justine were gonna go live your own lives. Now, did you ever stop to think what would happen if we said, "no, you can't come back here"?

No, I didn't.

Of course you didn't. Because we're your SAFETY NET! You always do this, you go out into the world and you mess up. Why? You know we're always sittin' in this house waiting to take you BACK IN! It's always been that way.

I know, Mom.

You come back into this house, you listen to the speech we give, just like the one your father just gave, you go right back out into the world, you mess up, and you always get to come back into the house again! Well, honey, I'm sorry, I have had enough. I do not have the strength to give you the permission to come back into this house.

Living with Justine has been good for my study habits. I mean she helps me organize. You know, just because you guys give me money doesn't mean you can control my life. You know if you guys aren't gonna get behind us on this, then Justine and I will just have to figure out a way to do it on our own and live our own lives! [Leaves the house]

[to Clair] He told you!

S6 E22What's It All About?

You can't tell me to leave Mom alone. Only Mom can tell me to leave her alone. Mom!

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

S6 E23Off to See the Wretched

[After Clair and Cliff decide to meet Vanessa]

I want you to do me a favor. From where my heels are to where I land, I want you to mark how far I jumped. [He jumps across the living room.]

All right, stay right there. [Counts and calculates.] One... two... that's about eight feet.

Eight feet? Add another three to that. Because when we see Vanessa, that's how far away from her I will have to be.

S6 E25Live and Learn

[to herself about Denise] Maybe when we were making the decision to have that child, somebody should have poured some cold water on Cliff!

Gosh, you know, all I want to do is help children and no one will let me!

RRebecca

Denise, why are you so hardheaded? The man didn't say that; he said you have to get an education to be of help here.

Well, I am ready now if Uncle Wilton would work with me!

RRebecca

Uncle Wilton already has enough children to work with; he doesn't need one as old as you! Denise, why don't you want to go to college? Why are you so afraid to go to college?

Because! I am ready now!

RRebecca

You know, a lot of people think they can just walk in off the street and do something because it looks easy! But they don't realize you have to work hard to make something look easy.
