If you weren't a doctor, I wouldn't love you less, because you're my dad. So rather than feeling disappointed because I'm not like you, maybe you should accept who I am and love me anyway, because I'm your son."
• (Bill Cosby) "Theo -- that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. No wonder you get D's in everything.

And you're going to do it because I said so. I am your father. I brought you into this world, and I'll take you out."
