Quote from Philip

Philip: Excuse me. Is this what you've been telling my boy?
Will: What?
Philip: That life is one big orgy.
Will: [high-pitched] I never said-
Philip: College is hard work, son. Followed by a family, which is even more hard work. And a teenage daughter who doesn't wanna be seen with you in public. And a wife, a wife who won't let you anywhere near her. And a butler, a butler who may be the father of your child. And a gardener, a gardener-
Carlton: Dad! Dad!

Quote from Will

Quote from Jazz

Vivian: Here, Will. Thank you, Jazz, very much. It's a baby pillow. Isn't it beautiful.

[Will throws Jazz out of the house, followed by the pillow]

Quote from Carlton

Carlton: The merger killed them.
Philip: Yeah. Good thing we got out when we did, huh? I'm gonna miss you, son.
Carlton: Did you say something, Dad?
Philip: I don't want you to move out.
Carlton: Sorry, Dad, I have to go.
Philip: No, you don't.
Carlton: Will says I do. He says it's time for me to leave the nest, become independent and have sex with girls. Safe sex, mind you, but lots of it.

Quote from Philip

Carlton: Hey, Will. Will, I can't bear to see him like this.
Philip: That's why we moving, so we don't have to.
Carlton: Well, look at him. He needs me.
Philip: No, I don't. I don't need either one of you. There is a silver lining in my dark cloud. Hilary.
Will: I'm sorry, Hilary Banks?
Philip: You know, fate works in mysterious ways. For years, I've been trying to get her to move out of the house and now when I'm gonna be alone, she is my salvation. So you two, you two go on with your little lives. My Hilary needs me.
Hilary: Okay, everybody, guess what. Okay, I can see you're stumped. I'm getting married. To Trevor.
