Dr. Heathcliff 'Cliff' Huxtable : Vanessa was in here.
Clair Huxtable : Oh, really?

Clair Huxtable : Yes, I am worried. The child is in a room across the hall with a man and a baby and she's a baby herself. Denise doesn't know what she's doing, Cliff. Did you see her at the table? Did you see her cut that broccoli for Olivia? Those pieces were way too big. And when she wasn't looking, I cut that broccoli myself.
