Quotes 

• Clair Huxtable : Vanessa, You are a liar. Your whole story is falling apart right before your face, and I'm gonna stop you now because you are my child and before I see you drift deeper into the abyss of untruth. Let me tell you that Rudy has informed us that you were with Jeremy tonight and you are grounded for at least a month.

• Vanessa Huxtable : Why are you doing this to me? I can make my own choices. It's my life!

  Clair Huxtable : Vanessa, if I were you, I'd take myself up those stairs while I still have a life.

  [audience laughing; Vanessa gets ready to walk upstairs] 

  Vanessa Huxtable : Come on, Dad. Please! You can't call Jeremy.

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : I've got to do it, Dear because it's my life.

• Vanessa Huxtable : Mom, this is so unfair!

  Clair Huxtable : Don't tell me what's unfair!

  Vanessa Huxtable : Why are you treating me like this? Don't you care about my feelings?

  Clair Huxtable : You lied to us! Your feelings don't count,

  Vanessa Huxtable : I'm moving out!

  Clair Huxtable : Good! I'll help you pack. All these years, Vanessa was always the mature one. I should've known this was too good to be true.
