Why don't you act like an adult?
WillWhy don't you look like one?
Oh, my God.
What is it? A boy or a girl?
This isn't a sonogram. It's a bill for $25,000. This baby's costing me a fortune.
WillCongratulations, you're having a Hilary!
(After Hillary correctly guesses a question on Geoffrey's "Brain Storm" tape)
WillHold up, Hold up, Time-out Time-out, flag on the play, traveling, offsides, clipping. What up with this here?
Hillary, how'd you know that?
Easy, Geoffrey's been watching that Brain Storm tape all day.
WillThis is my little brother, Carlton! He knows we can't afford new clothes so he just doesn't grow!
(To Geoffrey) Daddy! I wanna grow!
(To people in restaurant) These aren't my children!
WillIs it our fault you never married Mom? I know she embarrassed you! She only had one arm! And whenever you two would go to concerts, she'd clap like this (slaps left hand on neck)
[The family comes home and Will is the first to discover the living room is completely empty; Will screams]
What happened in here?
WillWe was robbed!
Oh, my God! What did they take?!
WillTell me there's a baseball in this case.
It's empty.
WillI guess you weren't listening!
What baseball?
Will(in Hispanic accent) What baseball? Well, baseball sport where man with stick hit ball and run. Sorta like this. (he tries to escape the empty living room, but Philip catches him by the shirt)
(Will is speaking to Ashley and Hilary in the kitchen)
WillYou know, I used to think the only reason to kill a man was self-defense, but I just spent 45 minutes in the Volvo with another reason.
(Carlton then walks into the kitchen dressed and acting like a mime)
What's wrong with him?
WillThis idiot is taking a mime class.
(Carlton continues his mime act directly towards Will, pulling on a rope)
WillCarlton, get... I swear to God, Carlton, get away from me with this. Stop. Stop playing. Carlton, stop or I'll hang you with that rope!
(Carlton mimes himself being hanged by a rope)
WillAll right, that's it. That's it.
(Will throws Carlton, out the kitchen into the garden and locks the kitchen door)
WillI was going to throw him out on the freeway... but you know the old saying: A mime is a terrible thing to waste.
WillCarlton, say something to the baby.
Never let Will borrow money... even if he begs and he will.
Will(talking into recorder} That's your brother, Carlton. You'll recognize him. He'll be the one at eye level.
(Will gets sound bites from the family for tape recorder)
I'm eating.
Will(talking into recorder) You'll hear that a lot.
You're grounded.
Will(talking into recorder) Well, that about sums up Uncle Phil.
My dining club is what made me what I am today.
(Will opens his mouth and closes it)
WillNah. Too easy.
Will (wearing a tuxedo for the prom, sleeping on the living room couch and talking in his sleep): I just want to thank Bill and Hillary Clinton, for inviting me to the inauguration.
Will, wake up.
WillYo, man. Go away.
Will, this is the Senior prom. Also known as "Guaranteed Action Night".
WillRack 'em up!
Carlton [about his zit]: Look at my face.
WillMan, we're eating.
I have a big zit.
Carlton, we're eating.
[everyone in the living room is annoyed by the sound of Vivian's bell]
[all scream] STOP WITH THE DAMN BELL!!!!!
