Quote from Ashley
Ashley: What do you want?
Will: Ashley, Carlton ran away.
Ashley: Great.
Will: Wait, hey, hey, hey. Come on, I'm being serious. Now, I've been calling around. I don't know where he is. We gotta go find him.
Ashley: No, Will, I'm having a party. I'm carefree, understand? Free of cares? How's my hair? How are my lips? Do I look okay?
Will: You look beautiful, Ashley.
Ashley: Thanks. Now get out.
Quote from Will
Will: Hey, somebody called me about picking up my cousin Carlton?
Man: Yeah, we get a runaway yuppie down here every week. He's over there at the bar throwing back ginger ales.
Quote from Carlton
Will: We're going home. Come on. Hey, Carlton. All right, look, the alumni guy from Princeton called. He's coming tonight.
Carlton: I can't do it, Will. I just can't handle another disappointment. This is where I belong. Ain't that right, Tiny?
Tiny: Shut up.
Carlton: Yeah, we're brothers of a tortured soul. We support each other. Take Sach over there. Better yet, take Pappy. He's been telling me about riding the rails. You hear that, Will? Riding the rails. I mean, I don't have a clue what he's talking about but darn if he doesn't make it sound exciting.
Quote from Will
Mr. Bradley: Carlton, I really appreciate your willingness to change your schedule.
Will: Well, changing is one of my strong suits, Mr. Bradley.
Quote from Will
Mr. Bradley: I must say, I was riveted by your thesis on regressive taxation. How did you arrive at such a scintillating hypothesis? [Will stares blankly at Mr. Bradley]
Quote from Carlton
Mr. Bradley: You honestly believe that Superman could beat the Flash in a foot race?
Carlton: [enters] Oh, Mr. Bradley, I'm glad you're still here. Carlton Banks.
Mr. Bradley: What?
Will: That's poppycock. I'm Carlton Banks.
Carlton: No, Will, your charade is not necessary. Now, if you'll excuse us, Mr. Bradley and I need to talk.
Quote from Carlton
Mr. Bradley: Now, a lot of these legacies I interview, they've got the grades, the resume but they're sheltered, you know? Like that milquetoast cousin of yours. But you really impressed me tonight. I'd be happy to sign a letter of recommendation for you. [exits]
Carlton: Thank you. Will, thanks for covering for me tonight.
Will: Oh, no, no problem, man. I'm just glad you came back when you did. You know, I'm starting to get a little too comfortable in this stuff, know what I'm saying?
