Prosecutors hoping to use Bill Cosby's explosive deposition testimony about getting quaaludes to give women in his sexual-assault trial also want to use references he made about trying to slip women aphrodisiacs.

In a suburban Philadelphia court filing on Thursday, the lawyers quoted Cosby making references to the aphrodisiac Spanish fly in his 1991 book Childhood, and in an interview that year with Larry King.

They say the comments show his familiarity with date rape drugs.

Cosby's lawyers want the judge to exclude his deposition testimony about quaaludes and his discussion of extramarital liaisons spanning 50 years.

Cosby says in the Childhood book he and his friends needed the Spanish fly potion because girls were "never in the mood" for them.

A hearing on the pre-trial evidence is scheduled for Monday.
