- Theo: [Cliff has just made Theo come into his office where he is examining Theo's ear for infection] Hey dad, can we go somewhere else? This place is for pregnant women...
- Anna Huxtable: Heathcliff, when your father was Theodore's age, he was enamored of me to such an extent that he had my name tattooed across his chest.
- Cliff: He did what?
- Anna Huxtable: When I learned what Russell had done, I was enormously flattered until I saw my name was misspelled.
- Russell Huxtable: Clair, what is the craziest thing that a certain young man, I'm not naming names, did to impress you?
- Clair Huxtable: Oh! You mean that time Cliff decided to straighten his hair?
- Denise Huxtable: Daddy straightened his hair for you?
- Clair Huxtable: Well, he tried, but it all fell out.
- Anna Huxtable: Of course I insisted that he remove that tattoo. And that left a scar on his chest.
- Cliff: You told me that you got that scar in World War II, fighting off a German Nazi panzer attack.
- Russell Huxtable: Son, that is the best way I could think of to describe what I went through when your mother saw that tattoo.
