(Judge Robertson's Funeral)
The jerk sentenced me to 6 months in jail for a crime I didn't commit. I'm just here to make sure he DEAD!
PhilipThank you. Anyone else?
Yeah, he hired me to replant his garden. And when it came time for him to pay me, he called immigration, on me!
PhilipGracias.
I knew Carl, biblically.
PhilipOh, well, please.
[the mistress steps up to the podium]
With him, it was just a bunch of sex all the time, like dating Thumper. Never felt I really got to know him. Never felt he cared about my needs.
PhilipUh, you were his wife?
His mistress!
PhilipOkay.
For 20 years. The longest years of my life.
PhilipYou don't have any pleasant memories at all of him?
Well,... no. The man's idea of sweet talk was, "when you gonna bring your sister around"?
PhilipWell, thank you for sharing.
PhilipOh, my God.
What is it? A boy or a girl?
PhilipThis isn't a sonogram. It's a bill for $25,000. This baby's costing me a fortune.
Congratulations, you're having a Hilary!
PhilipYou did what?! Are you out of your horny, little adolescent minds?
I know I am.
PhilipWhat baseball?
(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)
PhilipMy dining club is what made me what I am today.
(Will opens his mouth and closes it)
Nah. Too easy.
Carlton [about his zit]: Look at my face.
Man, we're eating.
I have a big zit.
PhilipCarlton, we're eating.
[everyone in the living room is annoyed by the sound of Vivian's bell]
[all scream] STOP WITH THE DAMN BELL!!!!!
PhilipVivian's gonna kill me.
Calm 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.
PhilipI lost my wedding ring.
I see. Where shall we scatter the ashes?
PhilipSince when do you take care of the babies?
Babies? I'm here to take care of Hilary.
[Philip tosses Jazz out again]
Philip[sees Ashley with another guy] Hold it. Hold it. Who do we have here?
We met at the mall.
PhilipWhat's your name, son?
This.
[he hands a picture to Philip, he looks at it]
PhilipThis is a stick with a snake wrapped around it.
It's a symbol. Like Prince?
PhilipPrince Who?
See? That's exactly why fathers ain't allowed at the mall.
[Philip writes something on the paper and hands it back to the guy]
What's this thing?
PhilipIt's a symbol for GET OUTTA MY HOUSE!!!
[the guy leaves]
Philip[to Will as he walks in the room] Excuse me! Is this what you've been tellin' my boy?!
What?
PhilipThat life is one big orgy?!
[he starts backing Will and Carlton into a corner]
PhilipWell, 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)
I 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.
PhilipLet's just pray that Trevor's okay. (later, after returning from Trevor's funeral) It was a lovely service.
Trevor 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)
Um, 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.
I'm taking... [looks at his class schedule] ...Western Pornography.
[looks at schedule] Western Philosophy.
PhilipWestern Philosophy, I'm impressed.
He doesn't even know what Western Philosophy is.
I 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)
PhilipThe man [his old college professor] changed my life. And you know how he did? He challenged me.
To what, a pie eating contest?
