• [Philip and Vivian do not agree on how to raise Hilary] 

  Philip Banks : A girl should always listen to her father.

  Vivian Banks : In that case I never would've married you!

  Philip Banks : Well, that was different. Your father had it in for me. What was it again that he didn't like about me?

  Philip Banks : Well I'll tell you one thing: I sure don't miss him.

  [Vivian glares at Philip] 

  Philip Banks : God rest his soul.

  Philip Banks : Don't you understand there are some parents who aren't comfortable with their daughters being stared at by millions of people?
