- [Rudy has hurt herself badly during play and Cliff wants to examine her]
- Rudy Huxtable: [crying] I want to see a doctor.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: I am a doctor.
- Rudy Huxtable: [still crying] No you're not! You're Daddy!
- Mrs. Granger: [to Cliff] I asked my grandson what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said a grandma. I asked him why a grandma? He said, "Because grandmas always give you presents."
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: So did you give him one?
- Mrs. Granger: Yeah, I love what he has to say about grandmas.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: What's he say about grandpas?
- Mrs. Granger: Nothing. He never knew his.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Oh, I'm sorry.
- Mrs. Granger: I'm not. He's not missing anything. I got married when I was sixteen.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: That I didn't know.
- Mrs. Granger: Yeah, I was pregnant and that you didn't know. It took me five months to tell my father. When I did, the next day, he marched us up to the Justice of the Peace and we were married. On the night of our first anniversary, he said, "I'm going to the store for a pack of cigarettes, I'll be back soon." Well, there must've been a long line at that store because he never came back.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Oh, no.
- Mrs. Granger: Yeah. For three days, my father and I looked for that boy. Then I finally said to myself, "What am I killing myself for?" But you know what, it's true what they say, it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
- Mrs. Granger: My daughter said to me, "Ma, since you worked to put me through college, now that you're retiring, how about if I pay for you to go?" Can you imagine that? Me going to college?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yes.
- Mrs. Granger: Come on. Can you see me bopping around a college campus?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yes.
- Mrs. Granger: And sitting in class with my grandson on my back, giving him homemade cookies?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: It would be beautiful.
- Mrs. Granger: Yeah, I can see that happening.
- Clair Hanks Huxtable: Theo, since you enjoy playing circus so much, you can be part of one: the Huxtable circus. This is the big top and you get to clean the big top from top to bottom, starting with those windows. Then you can do the floors.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Look at it this way, son. Here, no elephants.
