(Judge Robertson's Funeral)

MAMan at 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!

Philip

Thank you. Anyone else?

GGardener

Yeah, he hired me to replant his garden. And when it came time for him to pay me, he called immigration, on me!

Philip

Gracias.

MMistress

I knew Carl, biblically.

Philip

Oh, well, please.

[the mistress steps up to the podium]

MMistress

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.

Philip

Uh, you were his wife?

MMistress

His mistress!

Philip

Okay.

MMistress

For 20 years. The longest years of my life.

Philip

You don't have any pleasant memories at all of him?

MMistress

Well,... no. The man's idea of sweet talk was, "when you gonna bring your sister around"?

Philip

Well, thank you for sharing.

Philip

Oh, my God.

What is it? A boy or a girl?

Philip

This isn't a sonogram. It's a bill for $25,000. This baby's costing me a fortune.

Congratulations, you're having a Hilary!

Philip

My dining club is what made me what I am today.

Vivian'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.

I lost my wedding ring.

I see. Where shall we scatter the ashes?

Philip

[sees Ashley with another guy] Hold it. Hold it. Who do we have here?

We met at the mall.

Philip

What's your name, son?

GGuy

This.

[he hands a picture to Philip, he looks at it]

Philip

This is a stick with a snake wrapped around it.

GGuy

It's a symbol. Like Prince?

Philip

Prince Who?

GGuy

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]

GGuy

What's this thing?

Philip

It'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?

Philip

That life is one big orgy?!

[he starts backing Will and Carlton into a corner]

Philip

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!

S4 Where There's a Will, There's a Way (1)
View quote →

(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.

Philip

Let'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.

Philip

Western 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)
