Quote from Geoffrey
Will: Yeah, you know, that is a little stank. Hey, G, imagine a dude so desperate that he'll pay for sex.
Geoffrey: Imagine that.
Quote from Philip
Philip: In any event, this is a career-making case so I thought it'd be a good idea to have the judge over and...
Will: Kiss his butt?
Philip: Exactly. And I expect all of you to be on your best behavior. Do I make myself clear, Will?
Will: Yo, I'm gonna be cool, Uncle Phil. It's a couple of these other rabble-rousers you need to be worried about.
Quote from Philip
Ashley: Guys, I need help. I'm gonna rehearse with J.L. and I can't decide what to wear. I really like this one.
Philip: Ah. Well, the only way you're gonna wear this one is if you wear that one over it.
Quote from Will
Will: Hey, Ashley, come on, you don't need J.L. to help you. I'll rehearse the play with you.
Ashley: God, Will, you must be really...
Will: Bored! Yes. Yes, I'm bored. I'll do anything with anybody. Now, somebody ask me to do something.
Philip: I'm gonna go practice my swing.
Hilary: I have better things to do.
Quote from Will
Philip: Geoffrey, call the club and confirm our foursome with Judge Walker and his wife, please.
Geoffrey: Sir.
Will: Whoa, a foursome. You're getting a little freaky in your old age, huh, Uncle Phil? [car horn]
Philip: Coming, Vivian.
Will: Hey, hey, Uncle Phil. You know, this is your last chance to make that a fifthsome. [car roars off] Call me from the country club, all right? You know the number.
Quote from Geoffrey
Hilary: But, Geoffrey, you have to teach me how to flambe. If I don't learn I'm gonna look stupid on my show.
Geoffrey: I'm afraid that ship has sailed.
Will: Hey, come on, G, I wanna flambe.
Hilary: Will, this is a private lesson. Geoffrey can't be bothered trying to teach a moron to cook. Right, Geoffrey? [Geoffrey is silent]
Quote from Carlton
Carlton: And I'm telling you that Waterworks and the Electric Company are depreciable assets.
Man: I don't care, you still have to pay a luxury tax.
Carlton: My dad will know.
[elsewhere:]
Will: [answers the phone] Hey, hello? Hello? Hey, Carlton, look, I can't talk right now. The kitchen's on fire. I'm burning the house down.
[back:]
Carlton: My house is on fire. I have to leave now. [grabs the money]
Quote from Will
Will: G, G, I'm telling you, it was an accident, man. Remember I came in here and I watched you poof the flambe? I had liked it. So then, I came in and I had poofed. But I poofed big. Too big. And I poofed the kitchen down.
Quote from Geoffrey
Will: G, Uncle Phil's big dinner is tonight. Hey, hey. Man, look, you gotta help me fix this.
Geoffrey: Good day, Master William.
Will: G, G, where you going?
Geoffrey: I had a night of work ahead of me in this kitchen but now, as you can see, there is no kitchen. Farewell.
Will: G, hold on.
Geoffrey: Cheerio.
Quote from Will
Will: Hey, thanks a lot, G. All right. Look, I'm gonna go upstairs, I'm gonna see if I can find a restaurant that'll deliver. And why don't you stay down here and see if you can pine solve this little problem down here?
