Quotes[]

[When Will puts headphones on Vivian's stomach]
Philip: What the hell are you doing?
Will: In biology class, I learned babies can respond to sounds they hear in the womb, so I'm letting him listen to Heavy D
Vivian: Will, honey, why all this sudden interest in the baby?
Will: Well, I mean, I've been able to save Ashley, but as far as your other two kids, let's just say they're a few wings short of a bucket.
Philip: There is nothing wrong with Hilary and Carlton.
Hilary: Daddy, if I'm ever going to make it on my own, you need to increase your credit card limit.
Carlton: Dad, I'm living on the edge. [shows off his t-shirt] Look, V-neck!
Will: Coincidence? I think not.
Carlton: Will, you gotta lie to get what you want. Didn't you see the Republican Party?
