  [backs Carlton and Will in a corner]

And after that, a family, which is even more hard work, and a teenage daughter who doesn't want to be seen in public with you, and a wife, a wife, who won't let anywhere near her, and a butler, a butler who may be the father of your child! And a gardener, a gard...

  Carlton Banks : Dad!

• Philip Banks : What is it about me that baby doesn't like? Is it my beard? Because if it is, I'll shave it off right now.

  Vivian Banks : Don't you dare. I love the way that beard feels.

  Philip Banks : Hmph. I'm surprised you remember.

  Vivian Banks : Sweetheart, it hasn't been that long since we've made love, has it?

  [Vivian and Phil stare at him, and he shrugs]

• Philip Banks : [to Carlton]  I don't want you to move out.

  Carlton Banks : Sorry, Dad, I have to go.

  Philip Banks : No, you don't.

  Carlton Banks : Will says I do. He said it's time for me to leave the nest, become independent, and have sex with girls. Safe sex, mind you, but lots of it.

• Philip Banks : Hilary, I think there's something you need to ask yourself.

  Hilary Banks : Oh, I already did. I'm registering at Tiffany's.

  Hilary Banks : Love? What's love got to do with it? I'm having a wedding!

• Phillip Banks : Carlton, you don't have to do anything.

  Carlton : Will says I do. He says it's time for me to leave the nest and start having sex with girls. Safe sex, mind you, but lots of it!
