Quote from Will

Carlton: I really, really hate you.
Will: I hate you, too. Just get out of my bed, then. Ah, man, nice, firm mattress, just like the one at Paula's house.
Carlton: First, you steal my woman, and now you steal my bed.
Will: Look, man, let's get something straight right now. I did not steal your woman. I rescued her, and she thanked me... over and over, and over.
Carlton: [sings] Raindrops keep falling on my head, And just like the guy whose feet are too big...
Will: All right, stop singing. Over and over and over.
Carlton: Why don't you act like an adult?
Will: Why don't you look like one?

Quote from Will

Will: Now look what you did, you idiot. You made me miss her call.
Carlton: That wasn't for you. It was for me.
Will: Carlton, give it up, man. She dumped you. I mean, you're like Prince Charles. You got the royal flush.
Carlton: I'm going to beat your butt.
Will: Yeah, what are you going to do? Jump up and bang your head against it?

Quote from Will

Will: Hey, Carlton. I'm going to do something that's totally outside of my nature and I'm gonna take Uncle Phil's advice.
Carlton: You're gonna go play on the freeway?
Will: No, man, I'm going to be straight up with you. I'm going to tell you everything that happened between me and Paula. First time you brought her over here, man, I thought she was so fine and I wanted y'all to break up.
Carlton: That's very honest, Will, but I'm still mad. I guess I'll have to live with it.
Will: Wait, there's more. I told her you had tuberculosis.
Carlton: You what?
Will: Honest, I don't know, man. It just came to me. I'm sorry.
Carlton: I can't believe you did that. I'm gonna dig way down deep inside and maybe, in time, I'll be able to forgive you.
Will: Wait. There's more. I told her about your hand puppet.
Carlton: You told her about Binky?

Quote from Carlton

Carlton: Wait, there's more. You remember your friend Jazz?
Will: Oh, my God, what did you do with Jazz?
Carlton: You know that funky smell coming from the basement? Psych. This honesty thing feels great. What do you say we tell Geoffrey why his citizenship never came through?

Quote from Geoffrey

Hilary: Mmm. This smells delicious. You've really outdone yourself, Mom.
Ashley: Great oatmeal, Mom.
Vivian: Thank you.
Will: Um, Aunt Viv, in keeping with this new honesty thing this stuff kind of tastes like dry wall with raisins in it. [Uncle Phil laughs] And, Uncle Phil, you know you really shouldn't wear silk no more 'cause, like, when big folks wear silk...
Geoffrey: Well, since we're all being honest with each other, I'm bloody sick of the two of you going through my drawers. Here's your envelope. I hope you get what you want.

Quote from Will

Vivian: I want to know, too, Philip. Okay, let's have a look at that sonogram.
Philip: Oh, my God.
Vivian: What is it, a boy or girl?
Philip: This isn't a sonogram. It's a bill for $25,000. This baby's costing me a fortune.
Will: Congratulations, you're having a Hilary.
