- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Many, years ago, a teenage boy-very, very early in his teens-walked with his girlfriend. They went to a drugstore to share a soda. And his girlfriend looked at a barrette. It was made of wood, with a glass stone in it. Cost about fifty cents. And she admired that barrette, but the young teenage boy had no money to buy it. However, on tonight's occasion, I was fortunate. I called, and I called and I found a collectibles store. And I found that same wooden barrette with a glass stone in the center. And so, I feel it's important for my bride who admired that barrette to wear it tonight.
- Clair Huxtable: You remember that?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yes.
- Clair Huxtable: You called long distance for that barrette?
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Yes.
- Clair Huxtable: That's very sweet, Cliff.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: Thank you.
- Clair Huxtable: But I never wanted the barrette.
- Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable: B-but you said... .when you looked in... .
- Clair Huxtable: [icily] Eunice Chantilly wore that barrette, and I said it was tacky. What I wanted was a green, plastic bracelet, Cliff. Not that tacky barrette.
- Clair Huxtable: [opens the box and removes the gift-a green plastic bracelet] This is... .
- Clair Huxtable: [notices it and her demeaner changes] Oh, Cliff. Awww!
- Theo Huxtable: But then again, she gives me those kind of kisses all the time because we're not married.
- Theo Huxtable: I'm not getting married now, 'cause I don't want to end up in the marriage graveyard.
- Lt. Martin Kendall: Marriage graveyard?
- Theo Huxtable: Yeah, that's where the romance goes to die.
