Quotes 

• Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : Now, when I left here yesterday, it was under some strain, and we all said some things we didn't mean.

  Clair Hanks Huxtable : Not me.

  Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : But, it's all over now, and I'm sure we're all big enough to apologize!

  Clair Hanks Huxtable : NOT ME!

• Clair Hanks Huxtable : 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!

  Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : I'm sorry.

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Yesterday, you said your mother and I were controlling you with our money and that you and Justine were gonna go on and live your own lives. Now, did you ever stop to think what would happen if we said you couldn't come back here?

  Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : No.

  Clair Hanks Huxtable : Of course, you didn't! Because we're your 'safety net'! You go out, you mess up, you listen to our lecture, and then you go out and you mess up again! Well, Theo, I have had enough. I do not have the strength to keep letting you come back into this house.

• Clair Hanks Huxtable : Do her parents have any idea that you're living together?

  Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : Not yet. We were gonna tell them the same time we told you.

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Well, how were you going to do that? Leave your underwear in her laundry?

• Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : That was Justine's father. Justine is living back at her apartment and Theo is staying at her parents' house.

  Clair Hanks Huxtable : Oh, he must have really felt sorry for him.

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Uh, not really. Justine's father just wants to make sure that if we don't know where Theo is, he does.
