When Uncle Phil's old friend Janice (Pam Grier) arrives with her daughter, Wendy (Elise Neal), Carlton and Will bet on who will get a date with the young woman.

Quote from Will

Philip: You just getting in?
Will: Oh, just because a guy comes in in the morning wearing the same thing he had on the night before that doesn't mean he slept with anybody.
Philip: Take it easy, I'm not accusing you of anything.
Will: Maybe we parked and watched the sun come up.
Philip: All right.
Will: Or maybe we sat in the lobby and we talked all night! People do do that, you know!
Philip: I said I believe you!
Will: Good! Because I... I ain't do nothing wrong.
Philip: Did you get to spend any time with Wendy's mother?
Will: No, no, no. They was in two separate rooms, and I wasn't in either one.
Philip: Oh, before she leaves, try to spend time with her. She has a lot to offer.
Will: More than you know.
Philip: What?
Will: I said I gotta go.

Quote from Ashley

Ashley: [as Uncle Phil] Ashley, go to your room.
Carlton: Oh, I love this!
Ashley: [as Uncle Phil] And take Carlton with you.
Carlton: Hey, I'm not going anywhere.
Philip: You heard what I said.

Quote from Philip

Philip: Oh, God. You know what it's like to really go after a woman and never get her?
Will: No.
Philip: Well, finally, after two years I realized that Janice wasn't gonna have me, so I settled for Vivian. [Vivian slams her handbag down] With Vivian. With Vivian! Sweetheart, that came out wrong. Honey! Honey? Baby.
Will: Geoffrey, prepare Mr. Banks' couch.

Quote from Ashley

Carlton: So, what time is Dad's old flame supposed to be here?
Ashley: Carlton, she's not Daddy's old flame. They weren't even intimate.
Will: Uncle Phil discussed that with you?
Ashley: No, I heard him say it in the hall after Mom slammed the door in his face.

Quote from Will

Vivian: Ashley, I need your help in the kitchen. Geoffrey, will you set an extra place at the table. Mr. Banks' friend is bringing her daughter.
Will: Aunt Viv, I'm just curious. Would this daughter be more of a playmate for baby Nicky, Ashley, or none of the above?
Vivian: She's 18.
Will: Good answer. [uses breath spray]

Quote from Will

Philip: So how do I look?
Will: Like a man asking for trouble.
Philip: Oh, nonsense. Vivian and I had a long talk about this yesterday. She is perfectly secure with Janice's coming to visit.
Will: Oh. So, what happened to your nose, bro?
Philip: [stammers] Oh, this?
Will: [mock stammers] This?
Philip: Well, I- I cut myself shaving.
Will: Oh, you were shaving your nose? Okay. Was that before or after you poured that bucket of cologne on your head?

Quote from Philip

Philip: You are reading way too much into this, Will. This is just a little dinner with an old friend. [doorbell rings] Ooh, that's her.
Geoffrey: Mrs. Robertson and her daughter, Wendy.
Philip & Will: Damn!

Quote from Vivian

Janice: When my editor decided to do a story on post-earthquake syndrome I jumped at the chance. I haven't seen Philip since the Princeton 10-year reunion.
Philip: Remember, we took over the registrar's office in '69?
Janice: Ooh, do I? My eyes are still burning from the tear gas.
Philip: Wendy, your mother looked radiant even in a gas mask.
Janice: Oh, Phil, please stop.
Vivian: Yes, Phil, please stop.
