Vivian's gonna kill me.
WillCalm down, Uncle Phil. You're winning a lot of points with this second marriage thing. I'm sure whatever you did, Aunt Viv will forgive you.
I lost my wedding ring.
WillI see. Where shall we scatter the ashes?

Vivian's gonna kill me.
WillCalm down, Uncle Phil. You're winning a lot of points with this second marriage thing. I'm sure whatever you did, Aunt Viv will forgive you.
I lost my wedding ring.
WillI see. Where shall we scatter the ashes?
[in the middle of Musical Jeopardy!] The answer is a clef.
WillOh! What is, that thing that Michael Jackson had built into his chin?
[to Will as he walks in the room] Excuse me! Is this what you've been tellin' my boy?!
WillWhat?
That life is one big orgy?!
[he starts backing Will and Carlton into a corner]
Well, college is hard work, son. Followed by a family, which is even more hard work! And a teenage daughter who doesn't wanna be seen with you in public! And a wife! A wife who won't let you anywhere near her! And a butler! A butler who may be the father of your child! And a gardener! A GUARD...!!
DAD! DAD!
(on TV; proposes to Hilary) Hilary Banks!
Yes, Trevor?!
Will you marry me?! (slams into the ground; whole family and Geoffrey watch in disbelief)
WillI ain't no bungee expert or nothin', but I don't think he's supposed to be slammin' into the ground like that.
(The footage of Trevor's untimely death is cut to a "Please Stand By" message)
"Please Stand By"? Great, the president's about to interrupt my marriage proposal.
Let's just pray that Trevor's okay. (later, after returning from Trevor's funeral) It was a lovely service.
WillTrevor didn't look so bad for a dude that had a concrete facelift.
Fool! Like that was his real head.
Could you two show a little compassion? Your sister is right behind you.
(Hilary comes into the room, wearing a black wedding dress with Vivian comforting her)
I still can't understand.
Sweetheart, the lord giveth and the lord taketh away.
No, I mean technically, am I a widow or what? This is all my fault, if I hadn't asked for a special proposal, Trevor would've been in my arms, instead of in my purse. (Pulls out a small urn.) I love you, Trevor. (Cries)
WillUm, Hilary? Trevor wasn't cremated.
Eww! Then who's this? (Hands the urn to Will who in turn, passes the urn to Geoffrey.)
(Holding the urn) I'll see him to the door, sir.
WillI'm taking... [looks at his class schedule] ...Western Pornography.
[looks at schedule] Western Philosophy.
Western Philosophy, I'm impressed.
He doesn't even know what Western Philosophy is.
WillI do, too. It asks questions like, "Did anybody really think Kool Moe Dee was a cowboy?" (singing) The Wild Wild West. The Wild Wild West.
(singing) I used to live downtown, on 29... (stops singing)
The man [his old college professor] changed my life. And you know how he did? He challenged me.
WillTo what, a pie eating contest?
Carlton the peacock says "Don't be a quitter. Pick up your litter."
(Carlton is knocked down by a student)
Come on guys, help me up.
WillYeah, we need clean-up in aisle five. There's some bird droppings.
(Will and Jackie are quarrelling; they start shouting the same words simultaneously)
You ain't ever gonna change! I'm getting the last word! No, you're not! Oh, yes, I am! Damn!!
(singing Kenny Rogers' The Gambler) You got to know when to hold 'em. Know when to fold 'em. Know when to walk away...
WillDon't know when to shut up.
WillI'm from West Philadelphia, born and raised. On the playground is where I spend most of my days. I ain't got no fancy court room talk or a law degree from Princeton like my worthy adversary Judge Philip Banks. But what I do have is the truth! (slams palms on table in front of Philip)
Oh, shut up, Will! Your Honor, this man is making a mockery of the entire legal system!
WillAnd this man is making a mockery of a finely cut Italian suit!
[Will's version of the pool party]
Do you know how humiliating it is to have a son who can't swim?
[Phil rips off the head of Carlton's inner tube. Carlton runs off sobbing]
WillListen, Uncle Phil--
SILENCE! If I want your opinion, I'll beat it out of you!
[appears] Hello, Mr. Banks--
What's she doing here?
WillUncle Phil, s-she wandered over lonely and crying, and I didn't have the heart to turn her away--
HIT THE BRICKS, YOU LITTLE TRAMP! Go on! [Stephanie runs off crying] And tell your mother your father has a girlfriend! [to Will] I'm going back into the house, and when I come out, I want all these freeloading parasites OUTTA HERE! [snarls]
WillY-yes, sir! Within the hour!
FIVE MINUTES!
WillFOUR!
Alright, Will. If that's the way you want it. [walks off, laughing maniacally]
WillO.K., Miss Banks. You were the former tenant of the aforementioned pool house. Is that correct?
Yes.
WillO.K., could you please tell us of your experiences there?
Am I under oath?
Of course.
Well, Trevor would come over at about 3:00 in the morning and we would...
Objection!
(Will gives Philip a handshake)
I don't want your hand, I want my rent.
WillOh, come on, Uncle Phil. Haven't you learned anything from all of this?
Yeah, never rent from relatives.
WillCarlton, do you realize that they're workin' you harder than everybody else?
Nonsense. We all had to repave the parking lot.
WillYeah, but the rest of us got to wear shoes.
WillAnd in the words of my illustrious cousin, I'm-a make like a tree and leave.
I never say that. It's make like a banana and split.
WillOkay. I'll keep that in mind. [laughs]
