Clair Hanks Huxtable : [discussing who should wake the children up on this first day of school] Cliff it's you're turn. I got them up on the last day of school
Cliff : The last day of school? All you did was go out into the hallway and yell "LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!" and children next door were jumping out of bed.

Cliff : [trying to trick the kids into waking up] Last day of school!

Rudy Huxtable : [First lines; Rudy has walked into her parents bedroom, finding them asleep; she climbs up on the bed and begins to lightly jump on her father's side, trying to wake him up] Daddy?
Cliff : [groggily] I thought I told you to knock before you come in here!
Rudy Huxtable : I didn't want to wake you.

[the phone rings]
Cliff : Oh, not another Vanessa caller.
[Answers]
Cliff : Vanessa's Residence? No, she cannot come to the phone right now. Because it is now 10:05, and she cannot take any calls past 10 o'clock. No, I cannot take a message. I am her father. I am a doctor. I graduated from medical school, alright? Thank you for calling, this is a live voice.

Cliff : [noticing the short sleeve sweatshirt that Theo's wearing] Son?
Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : Yeah, dad?
Cliff : Is that the shirt that I bought for you?
Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : Yep.
Cliff : Well, didn't it have sleeves on it when we bought it?
Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : Oh yeah, they're upstairs.
Cliff : Oh, the sleeves didn't want to come down this morning?
Theodore 'Theo' Huxtable : No, you see dad, I cut 'em off. This is how everybody's wearing it this year.
Cliff : Son, when we went to the store, you picked up that shirt and said "Dad. I gotta have this shirt for the first day of school." And I looked at the price of it, and I said "This is very expensive for a sweatshirt". Then I looked in those brown eyes of yours and I said "Well, my son wants it, and I'll buy it for him." Now if fashion dictates that you cut those sleeves off, make some alterations, that's fine with me. But somehow, some way, in this lifetime, you're going to wear those sleeves.
