• Will : Hey Hil', what's so funny?

  Hilary : Oh, Carlton just told a joke.

  Will : No, Hilary, Carlton is a joke.

• Hilary : Geoffrey, what do you know about wine?

  Geoffrey : I know no-one does it better than you, Miss Hilary.

• Hilary : Maybe I sometimes say things that are selfish and self-centered, but that's who I am, dammit.

• Geoffrey : I'm too ashamed to talk about it, it's better if I show you...

  [puts in tape] 

  Geoffrey : [Will jumps up, excited] 

  Will : You did a porno movie?

  Hilary : Eww...

• Geoffrey : [handing Carlton a big brown bag]  Master Carlton, I have to take this tray up to your mother, so on your way out, would you mind taking out the garbage?

  Carlton : Do I look like Roc?

  Will : [sitting at the kitchen table]  I don't know, Carlton. Maybe if you shaved your head bald and sanded down the square part.

  Carlton : [ignores Will and hands Ashley the bag]  Ashley, you take out the garbage!

  Ashley Banks : Why me?

  Carlton : Because I'm bigger than you.

  Will : See, that's not fair. That's only 'cause you got them shoe lifts in today.

  Carlton : They're not lifts. I doubled up on my Odor-Eaters.

  Ashley Banks : [Carlton walks out of the kitchen while Ashley is holding the trash bag; Hilary walks into the kitchen and Ashley hands her the bag]  Here, Hilary, you take it out!

  Hilary : Out where?

  Ashley Banks : To the trash cans! You know, those things you hit every time you back out the car?

  Hilary : Oh, thank God. I thought it was the neighbor's kids!

  [Hilary takes the brown garbage bag from Ashley] 

  Hilary : THIS IS GROSS! I don't touch greasy, disgusting things!

  Will : Well, just pretend it's buying you dinner afterwards.

  Hilary : [Hilary walks up to Will and shoves the trash bag to him]  You take it!

  Will : Yo, girl!

  Hilary : And for your information, dinner comes first!

  [Hilary walks out of the kitchen] 

  Will : Oh, it's like that, right? You're just gonna slam garbage at me!

  [Uncle Phil walks in the room] 

  Phillip Banks : Good morning, Will.

  Will : Good morning, Uncle Phil.

  [Will hands Phil the dirty garbage bag] 

  Will : Here's your lunch!

  Phillip Banks : [Phil takes the bag and walk out of the house]  Thank you!

• Hilary : Face it, you're a taker.

  Carlton : Oh, I'M a taker, Miss 'Daddy, can I have five-hundred dollars?'

  Hilary : Oh, right, Mister 'Hey Big Guy, how about a copy of your will in case something happens to you?'

  Carlton : That's called prudent planning.

  Hilary : Yeah, if your last name is Menendez.

• Will : [about the house]  Yo, this is better than Love Boat! This boy gonna be maxing and relaxing.

  Phillip Banks : Hold on just a minute, son. We promised your mother that you're here to work hard, straighten out and learn some good old-fashioned American values...

  Hilary : [walks in]  Dad, I need $300!

• [Hilary and Trevor first meet] 

  Trevor : Wow!

  Hilary : I know.

  Hilary : Wow!

  Trevor : I know.

• Hilary : Guess what?

  Will : You bought your own dinner?

  Hilary : [pause]  Are you insane?

• Hilary : I mean, we must all do our parts to protect the environment. Every time we cut down a tree, it just takes us one step closer to global warming. And we must do it not just for ourselves or our children, but for all of humanity.

  Margaret Furth : Why, I never knew it was such a problem. I think it's great that you have the courage to want to do something about it.

  Hilary : Thanks. It's my passion.

  Margaret Furth : Where should I make a donation?

  Hilary : I don't know.
