 * Will: I heard you the first time.
 * C.S.S.: You have 10 seconds to move away before the alarm activates.

 * Cop: Who were you talking to, son?
 * Will: Oh, actually, I was talking to the car, officer.

 * Noah: Yeah, I get it all right. you come down here with your X-cap and your cool Doc Martins and you're all dope and word to your mother and you think that makes you committed. This isn't a game, Will and if you think it is, then maybe you better not come back because you don't get it.


 * Philip: Vivian, where were you yesterday?
 * Vivian: Shooting hoops with Michael Jordan.

That's No Lady, That's My Cousin

 * (Philip is telling Will and Carlton about his freshman year at Princeton)
 * Philip: For extra money, I had to work for the Princeton Daily. My first assignment was to interview the town's most famous stripper: Boom-Boom Lasalle.
 * (The guys start laughing)
 * Will: I wonder why they called her that.
 * Philip: For some reason, she took a liking to me. So she invited me to come with her and her sister to her dressing room for drinks.
 * Will: You the man, Uncle Phil.
 * Philip: Anyway, one thing led to another and before you know it, this old country boy...(Vivian slams a plate of food on the table in front of him) finished his Yoo-Hoo and went right home.
 * Vivian: Wait a minute, Philip. Go back to when you finished your Yoo-Hoo.

 * Will: Whoa, whoa, whoa, now, baby, I noticed you noticing me and I just want to put you on notice that I noticed you too.
 * Veronica: And?
 * Will: And I just want to let you know that I might let you consider being with me.
 * Veronica: Is that what passes for a compliment?

 * Will: I know you better float your midget boat on out of here. [pulls Kenny and pushes him into Carlton away from Ashley]
 * Kenny: Will, man! Ease up!
 * Will: No, you ease up, man! What you trying to do?
 * Kenny: The same thing you're trying to do. I'm just trying to press up this woman!
 * Will: YO, THAT AIN'T NO WOMAN THATS MY COUSIN!!!
 * Ashley: I am too a woman and I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my business!
 * Will: Don't you shake your neck at me like that, girl!

 * Will: Carlton, I think you know what you have to do.
 * Carlton: I know, but still, I would have like to have been there for Ashley. (runs after the beautiful girl)


 * Ashley: Kenny ran after that girl.
 * Will: Kenny is a different case.
 * Ashley: Carlton ran after the same girl.
 * Will: Well, Carlton is a basket case.

 * Patti: Let me get this straight. You want to storm the set, disrupt a live newscast, and jeopardize the credibility of this station?
 * Will: Yes.
 * Patti: Will you be needing wardrobe?

Mama's Baby, Carlton's Maybe

 * Priest: And if there's anyone here who feels this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.

 * Carlton: [about Cindy] She left me. I got the feeling she didn't wanna live with me.
 * Will: What made you think that?
 * Carlton: She said she didn't wanna live with me.
 * Will: Aw, man. I mean, she can't just walk out on you like that. What if the kid is yours?
 * Carlton: He's not.
 * Will: Carlton, come on. Just because the baby is cute doesn't mean you're not the father.
 * Carlton: I never slept with her. Look, since we're in a church, I feel the need to confess something. Please don't laugh. This is really hard for me to say. I'm a... A... [muffles the last word he says]
 * Will: You a German?

 * Will: But you just...
 * '''Philip: Get out of the damn car!


 * Carlton: For a long time it gave me nightmares, having to witness an injustice like that. It was a constant reminder of how unfair this world can be. I can still hear them taunting him. "Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids." ...How come they just couldn't give him some cereal?!


 * Carlton: (speaking into his tape recorder) Carlton's log. Will has been reduced to a pathetic shell of his former self. I, on the other hand, have the strength of 10 men!

 * Carlton: Then we'll freeze to death! I don't wanna die! I wanna go to college and poke fun at all the kids on financial aid! I wanna see Karate Kid 17!

(It's snowing while they're lost in the woods without camping equipment)

 * Philip: Hi. I'm Philip Banks, and I'm running for superior court ju-ju-judge. Ju-ju-judge.

(As the two fake sadness)
 * Will: This is my little brother, Carlton! He knows we can't afford new clothes so he just doesn't grow!
 * Carlton: (To Geoffrey) Daddy! I wanna grow!


 * Geoffrey: (To people in restaurant) These aren't my children!

 * Hilary: What's wrong with him?
 * Will: This idiot is taking a mime class.
 * (Carlton continues his mime act directly towards Will, pulling on a rope)
 * Will: Carlton, get... I swear to God, Carlton, get away from me with this. Stop. Stop playing. Carlton, stop or I'll hang you with that rope!
 * (Carlton mimes himself being hanged by a rope)
 * Will: All right, that's it. That's it.
 * (Will throws Carlton, out the kitchen into the garden and locks the kitchen door)
 * Will: I was going to throw him out on the freeway... but you know the old saying: A mime is a terrible thing to waste.


 * Will: Carlton, say something to the baby.
 * Carlton: Never let Will borrow money... even if he begs and he will.

The Alma Matter

 * (Tom Jones shows Carlton what life for his family would be like without him)
 * Carlton: What happened? And where's Mom?
 * Tom: Well, without you, your family was defenseless against Will. They started to focus on happiness instead of success. You mother ran away with the milk man, your father quit his practice to paint, Ashley does nothing but dance all day and Hilary just does her hair. Well, maybe not everything changed.


 * Philip: My dining club is what made me what I am today.
 * (Will opens his mouth and closes it)
 * Will: Nah. Too easy.

Just Say Yo

 * Will: Rack 'em up!


 * Will (to his prom date, while imitates a police siren): Whooooooo, somebody call a cop 'cause it got to be illegal to look that good.


 * Will: I had basketball practice and school, and this guy gave me these pills to help me stay awake, and then Carlton... all I know is that somebody very close to me could be dead right now, and it'd be all my fault.


 * Carlton [about his zit]: Look at my face.
 * Will: Man, we're eating.
 * Carlton: I have a big zit.
 * Philip: Carlton, we're eating.

The Baby Comes Out

 * Vivian: Wait a minute. Where's Helen?
 * Vy: Oh, well, she couldn't come. She had to go to court with Lester.
 * Vivian: Well, I thought the divorce was final months ago.
 * Janice: That's right. And everything was going so well, until she saw Lester with another woman. And that's when she snatched off the wig.
 * Vivian: [gasps] She snatched off the woman's wig?
 * Janice: No. Lester's!
 * [all three sisters laugh]


 * [everyone in the living room is annoyed by the sound of Vivian's bell]
 * Will, Philip, Carlton, Hilary, Ashley, Vy, and Janice: [all scream] STOP WITH THE DAMN BELL!!!!!

You Bet Your Life

 * Will: Come on, Uncle Phil. Shamon!


 * Will: I'm starving. (dials number on car phone; imitates Tony Montana) Ya, dis is Tony Montana! I just see your billboard on da highway. If you know what's good for you, you bring me large pepperoni with anchovies on it!

Ain't No Business Like Show Business

 * Will: Girl, you look so good, I'd marry your brother just to get in your family.


 * (At a comedy club's showcase where Will's jokes bomb)
 * Hilary: Will's really bombing up there. We should do something.
 * Carlton: Good idea. Boo, get off the stage, we want our money back, go back where you came from.

The Way We Were

 * Philip: Vivian's gonna kill me.
 * Will: Calm down, Uncle Phil. You're winning a lot of points with this second marriage thing. I'm sure whatever you did, Aunt Viv will forgive you.
 * Philip: I lost the wedding ring.
 * Will: I see. Where shall we scatter the ashes?

Six Degrees of Graduation

 * Mrs. Bassin: [in the middle of Musical Jeopardy!] The answer is a clef.
 * Will: Oh! What is, that thing that Michael Jackson had built into his chin?


 * Woman: That's my Jessie, the one with the braids.
 * Jazz: That's my Will, the one with the mustache.


 * Philip: Since when do you take care of the babies?
 * Jazz: Babies? I'm here to take care of Hilary.
 * [Philip tosses Jazz out again]
