Quotes 

• Cliff : [Clair is trying to get Cliff to change his eating habits.]  I've been eating like this since I was four!

  Clair : Yes darling. But now you are four-ty nine! And your little arteries don't unclog the way they used to. And who should know, BETTER THAN ME!

  Cliff : [Blushing]  Would you like to.....unclog my arteries?

• Clair Huxtable : Ta-da!

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : What is it?

  Clair Huxtable : Delicious rice cakes. 35 calories, Cliff. Zero salt, zero fat, zero cholesterol.

  [Clair gives Cliff a rice cake and he bites into it] 

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Zero taste. The air in my mouth tastes better than this.

• Rudy Huxtable : [notices Cliff with a rice cake]  Daddy, you're eating in bed.

  Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : It's all right. It's not real food.

  Rudy Huxtable : Can I have it?

  [Cliff gives his rice cake to Rudy] 

  Rudy Huxtable : I like these, but they're not as good as the chocolate chip cookies Mommy left in my room.

  [Cliff quickly gets out of bed and leaves]
