Season 9 Quotes

Season 9 / Episode 10: - Original Gangsta Dawg

Carl Otis Winslow: After you left, I saw your boy Fresh Squeeze at the door.
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: Bye. With Squeeze I'm not safe nowhere.
Carl Otis Winslow: Well I talked to your boy Squeeze and he won't be bothering you for a long time.
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: You paid him off
Carl Otis Winslow: Better, I locked him up.
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: Serious. How did you know?
Carl Otis Winslow: I recognized him right away. He held operations in Chicago. He left the minute we put a warrant up for his arrest. But I recognized him right away.
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: He must've been dangerous. What did you do?
Carl Otis Winslow: I told him I was taking him over to see you. On the way to the Sizzle Club, I took a little detour to the precinct. You should've seen the look on his face when he saw five officers surrounded my car and said Surprise!
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: Oh man I didn't think you were this cool. Sorry. I'll grab my stuff and I'll be out of here tomorrow.
Carl Otis Winslow: Well there's no rush. You can stay.
Cornelius Eugene Urkel aka OGD: You all right, Mr.W
Carl Otis Winslow: You too, OGD

Season 9 / Episode 10: - Original Gangsta Dawg

Harriette Winslow: Where did you go?
Carl Otis Winslow: Out for a walk around the block.
Harriette Winslow: You were gone for three hours.
Carl Otis Winslow: Harriette, I was steamed, I didn't want to do something I'll regret.
Harriette Winslow: Before you stormed out of the house, I forgot to mention to you that I called OGD's Grandmother back in Detroit.
Carl Otis Winslow: What's her name, UPS?
Harriette Winslow: Carl!
Carl Otis Winslow: What did she have to say?
Harriette Winslow: She says OGD's a great kid, but he hasn't had it easy in his life.
Carl Otis Winslow: Harriette, that kid is bad news. He acts like a gangster, gangsters hate cops.
Harriette Winslow: You have to understand, back in Detroit where he's from, the police are considered the enemy, so he doesn't trust them. He doesn't have the advantages to see how good the cops are like our kids have. Let's just hope we can rub off on him before he rubs off on 3J.
Carl Otis Winslow: All right.
