Carlton : How dare you not take Will. He's full of potential!
Top Dog : That's why we want him. It's you we don't want.
Carlton : Me? But I did everything! I cooked, I cleaned, I hand-washed your toilets...
Top Dog : Everything your butler does for you. I'm not accepting no prep school, Bel-Air bred sellout into my fraternity.
Will : [stepping forward] Homie, you can stop all that...
Carlton : No, wait, Will. I got this one.
[turns back to Top Dog]
Carlton : You think I'm a sellout, why? Because I live in a big house or I dress a certain way? Or maybe it's because I like Barry Manilow.
Will : [to the crowd] Uh, he meant Barry White, y'all.
Carlton : Being black isn't what I'm trying to be, it's what I am. I'm running the same race and jumping the same hurdles you are, so why are you tripping me up? You said we need to stick together, but you don't even know what that means. If you ask me, you're the real sellout.

Top Dog : [to the pledges] I hope you like your new uniforms. You will be wearing them for a week.
Carlton : Excuse me, Mr. Top Dog, sir?
Top Dog : Pledge Banks, you only speak when you are spoken to. Well, are you speaking to me now or are you?
Carlton : I'm sorry, but I think everyone here will agree that wearing the same thing for a week is not good hygiene, right, fellas?
Top Dog : So Pledge Banks likes to wash clothes.
Carlton : Actually, my butler handles the laundry.
Top Dog : Your butler?
Carlton : Yes, Geoffrey. He's a whiz with my fine washables.
Top Dog : Pledge Banks, where are you from?
Carlton : Bel-Air. South Central Bel-Air. I live right across the street from the Aaron Spelling mansion. You know, the producer of "Beverly Hills, 90210"?
Top Dog : I don't watch it.
Carlton : You don't know what you're missing. Dylan's on the verge of getting back with Brenda.

Carlton : [to Will] Make like a tree and leave? I never say that. It's "make like a banana and split."
