Phylicia Rashad: Clair Huxtable

Quotes 

• Denise Huxtable : Veronica's a very good friend.

  Clair Huxtable : Yes she is.

  Denise Huxtable : Do you think she's too young to be married?

  Clair Huxtable : No, but she is a little young to have a baby.

  Denise Huxtable : You know?

  Clair Huxtable : Well now Denise, she has announced her engagement, had her shower and is getting married all in the same month, it doesn't take a genius to figure that out, and she's beginning to show.

• Denise Huxtable : Veronica got pregnant on purpose.

  Clair Huxtable : What?

  Denise Huxtable : Yeah, see, she and Jim wanted to get married now, and they knew this way the parents would have to say yes.

  Clair Huxtable : Wait a minute, let me get this straight: Veronica and her boyfriend who do not have jobs and who are moving in with her parents, decided to have this baby on purpose.

  Denise Huxtable : Yes.

  Clair Huxtable : Do you know if one of you pulled a stunt like this, I'd wring your neck?

  Denise Huxtable : [laughs]  I believe you.

  Clair Huxtable : I hope you do, because that is the most selfish and irresponsible thing I've ever heard of.

  Denise Huxtable : Mom, you don't understand...

  Clair Huxtable : No I understand, this child hasn't gone off on her own and done this, she is moving in with her parents. That means that this becomes their problem too and I'm sure they didn't plan on having another baby.

  Denise Huxtable : Yeah well, now that Veronica's done this, she's really afraid.

  Clair Huxtable : She should be afraid, she should be more than afraid.
