Quote from Will

Mr. Bradley: As you know, your father and I were classmates at Princeton. He was quite the big man on
campus.
Will: Well, he's even bigger now.
Mr. Bradley: [laughs] Yeah, well, aren't we all? [both laugh] I was very impressed with your application. Particularly cogent was your essay on the fall of Eastern Europe.
Will: Mm. If you like Eastern Europe in the fall you should see it in the spring, it's beautiful.
Mr. Bradley: Oh, you. [laughs] Oh, you've got a good sense of humor. Obviously, you got that from your dad.
Will: Oh, you know my Dad?
Mr. Bradley: Well, yes, didn't I just mention that a moment ago?
Will: Ah! Oh, yeah. Of course. Of course. Big man on campus.
Mr. Bradley: I see here that you've worked for a lot of charities. Which one meant the most to you?
Will: Um... The second one. But this has all been about me, Mr. Bradley. Me, me, me. Frank, is there a Mrs. Bradley? A couple of baby Bradleys? Hey, have you seen Braveheart?

Quote from Carlton

Pappy: Look, friend, we can talk about candy all day but you ain't gonna convince me that blue was a bad way to go. By the way I hear that whistle blowing. I got a train to catch.
Carlton: Well, let's go.
Pappy: Hey, hold on there, Sparky. Before you catch any train, how about you telling me what you're running away from?
Carlton: Okay. But this won't be pretty.

Quote from Carlton

Carlton: But I guess the signs were always there. Oh, sure these chiseled good looks and striking personality opened the doors of opportunity quickly but lately, they've been closing even quicker. Oh, heck, who am I kidding? Look at me, I'm not Princeton material. Like the song says, Pappy "You gotta know when to fold them." It's my time to fold.
Pappy: Sounds like, to me, you're giving up.
Carlton: You're a smart man, Pappy.
Pappy: Listen, Carlton, it's one thing to throw in the hand but it's another thing to get up from the table and quit the game.

Quote from Will

Philip: Oh, Geoffrey, are my sandwiches ready yet?
Vivian: Philip, for God's sake, we're going to SeaWorld. There's gonna be food stands everywhere.
Will: Oh, yeah, that may be true, Aunt Viv, but there ain't gonna be no food stand in the Volvo. You know, you better let that man eat and give him food or he'll mess around and chew one of your arms off in the car.

Quote from Carlton

Carlton: [on the phone] Carlton Banks here. Huh? What do you mean I didn't get the job? Budget problems? But I was volunteering.

Quote from Will

Will: Hello? Hey, Carlton. Carlton. Hey, it's cool. Relax, man. Everything's gonna be all right. Hey, look here. National Geographic, huh? Special issue. The ladies of the Sudan, you know what I'm saying, huh?

Quote from Geoffrey

Will: Hey, what's up, G? Another Village People reunion?
Geoffrey: As it is my weekend off, I've decided to head for the Circle M Dude Ranch. There's nothing like the feel of an animal beneath you to recharge your battery.
Will: I know what you're talking about there, G.
Geoffrey: No, I'm afraid you don't, Master William. But I do find it rather endearing when you think you do. Have a nice weekend.
Will: Have fun at the "dude ranch."

Quote from Will

Will: Hey, hey, hey, look. Make sure you stay friends with that one in the pink, you know what I mean? Couple more years of seasoning, you know, put a little barbecue sauce on her, let her marinate, you know what I mean?
Ashley: Oh, get out. Get out right now, Will.

Quote from Ashley

Kyle: I've heard a lot about you, Ashley. Great party. This is nice.
Ashley: Really? You think so?
Kyle: Mm-hm.
Ashley: Well, I have parties all the time.
Kyle: Really?
Ashley: Yeah.
Kyle: And your parents don't mind?
Ashley: Mind? Ha! They practically write out the guest list.
Kyle: Wow, I wish my parents were that cool.
