Quote from Philip

Philip: Boys, your mother is driving me crazy about reading that short story.
Carlton: Well, gee, Dad, why don't you just read it and get it over with?

Will: Whoa, whoa, whoa. But, Uncle Phil-
Philip: No "buts," Will. [Vivian walks in behind Philip] No matter what she says, you haven't seen hide nor hair of me. Hi, sweetheart. How long have you been there?
Vivian: You read it. You read it and you hated it.
Philip: No, I lost it. Yeah, yeah, that's it. And I was so looking forward to reading it.

Philip: I will.

Geoffrey: You can keep the tape. I'm buying the O'Jays.

Will: Look, G. It's going to be all right, man. Uncle Phil will give you your job back.
Geoffrey: What about the money?
Will: There is no money.
Geoffrey: I see. I have no choice but to leave. I made such a fool of myself. I shudder to think what I said to your parents.
Will: It's all right, G. Come on, man.
Geoffrey: No, I'm too humiliated to stay.

Will: So, Bryant, are you sure this the restaurant Hilary said G was working at?
Geoffrey: What are you two nimrods doing here?
Carlton: I'm pretty sure.
Will: Look, G. Come on, man, we want you to come home with us.
Geoffrey: I'm afraid that's impossible.
Will: All right, G, we made a mistake, okay. What, are you going to hold a grudge forever?
Geoffrey: How about until I'm dead?
Carlton: Geoffrey, you can't let something like this come between us.
Geoffrey: Look, I want you to leave. I finally found a position where I'm respected and appreciated.
Phillipe: Geoffrey, the urinals need mints. Move it.
Geoffrey: Inside joke. You wouldn't understand.

Quote from Geoffrey

Geoffrey: Eat fast and get out.
Carlton: We're not leaving without you.
Will: Look, G, come on, everybody misses you.
Geoffrey: Well, get used to it. I can't go back. You humiliated me.
Carlton: Geoffrey, we've all been humiliated.
Will: Yeah, how do you think Carlton feels when he changes into his gym shorts?
Geoffrey: That's a very small humiliation.
Carlton: Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
Woman: Yoo-hoo! Waiter. If I don't get something to drink soon, I'm gonna die.
Geoffrey: You promise?
