Season 2, Episode 12 -  Aired December 9, 1991

When Will wins some money at the country club, he decides to go against tradition in donating the money back to the club. Meanwhile, Geoffrey sets up a poker night for Ashley, who is too young to attend the club.

Quote from Will

Will: Whoa, hold it, man. Come on, there's an old gambling superstition. It says that if you walk into a casino backwards you'll have good luck.
Carlton: Will, you poor public school casualty. Everyone knows there is no such thing as luck. There's only the astute mastery of probability.
Will: Have it your way, man.
[As Will walks into the casino backwards, Carlton is distracted and crashes into a waiter]
Will: Wow, you know, Carlton, you are lucky. That could have been an asteroid.

Quote from Philip

Brett: You know, I hope you don't mind my saying it, but you sure look good. How was Heaven when you left it?
Vivian: [giggles]
Philip: Anybody ever tell you, you sure look sexy when you deal?
Brett: We all have. We're not here because of the way she shuffles cards, you know what I mean?
Philip: Gee, it's chilly in here. I'd hate for my wife to catch cold.
[After Phil drapes his jacket over Vivian, the men at her table walk away]

Quote from Will

Will: Come on, don't act like you never done it before. [Mrs. Pullman blows on his dice]
All right, my lucky drawers is riding high, put your money on me or kiss it goodbye! Just like it's supposed to be! Give it to me again. Can I get an amen?
Brett: Amen.
Will: Yes, sir. All right.
Carlton: Will, please, the book says there's no way you can win. If I were you, I wouldn't touch those dice.
Mrs. Pullman: Posse out, short stuff. Robin's on a roll.
Will: All right, here we go. Hoagies, cheese steaks, chicken on a spit, seven come eleven 'cause I'm too legit to quit!

Quote from Geoffrey

Geoffrey: Two pairs, kings and queens.
Ashley: Three aces. Sorry, Geoffrey. You're $94 in the hole. Should we play again?
Geoffrey: I think not.
Ashley: Are you mad at me?
Geoffrey: Of course not, Miss Ashley. You play very well. Where did you learn? A back alley in Calcutta?

Quote from Will

Crowd: [singing] Go Will, Go Will, Go Will...
Carlton: Will, you're insane. Quit while you're ahead.
Will: Yo! Man with the bald head. Yo. Tell me what they said!
Mr. Cummings: Seven!
Will: Go Will.
Crowd: Go Will, Go Will, Go Will...
Will: Here we go! Here we go! Eleven! Hey! Now, who's hotter than Madonna in a pointy bra?
Crowd: You are!
Will: Just checking!

Quote from Carlton

Mr. Cummings: May I have everyone's attention, please? It's time for the raffle. A cash prize of $1,000. And the winner is number 10225.
Carlton: [gasps]
Hilary: Carlton, did you win?
Carlton: No, I didn't play and 10225 is my lucky number.

Quote from Geoffrey

Ashley: Honest, Geoffrey, it'd make me feel a lot better if you'd just take your money back.
Geoffrey: No, thank you. A gentleman always accepts his losses gracefully.
Ashley: Okay, Geoffrey, but you're sure we're still friends?
Geoffrey: Of course, Miss Ashley. [faint smile]

Quote from Philip

Will: Okay, I just don't understand why you're making such a big deal about this money. I mean, it ain't like I took the Benz drag racing down Sunset at 4:00 in the morning.
Carlton: Tattletale.
Philip: Will, I'm making a big deal because every year the club picks a charity and donates that money to that charity.
Will: But, Uncle Phil, look, if it's supposed to be my money how come I can't do what I wanna do with it? And I don't wanna donate it to the L.A.P.C.
Philip: Will, donating that money is a tradition and a tradition isn't something to be thrown away on a whim.
Will: Whoa, hold up. You calling a red leather suit with matching seat covers a whim?
Philip: Will, you're being awfully selfish. Obviously, you haven't learned a thing since you've been here. We've all been blessed. And donating to someone less fortunate than yourself is not an option, it's a responsibility.
Will: I hear what you're saying, Uncle Phil, you're right.
Philip: Keeping money that isn't yours is wrong. Very, very wrong.
Ashley: I know. I know.

Quote from Will

Will: Hey, Ashley, honey, what's up?
Ashley: Would everyone just get off my case? I want to give him the money back, but he won't take it.
Will: Whoa, puberty's in the house.

Quote from Will

Ramon: Hey, you looking fine today.
Will: Thanks I did a little something different with my hair.
Ramon: Hey, here's your boom box. I re-wired it. It works fine now. You owe me 50 cents.
Will: Man, 50 cents? That's real reasonable.
Ramon: Hey, a happy customer is a loyal customer.
Will: How much for the shoe shine?
Ramon: $150. Hey, I gotta make up the differences somewhere. How else am I gonna get to basketball camp?
Will: All right, well, hey, let's just get out of here before Linda Blair's head starts spinning around.
