Ashley Banks quotes from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

Sweetie, would you say grace, please?

Ashley

Yes, mommy... (Starts rapping) Hey there, lord. My name is Ashley Banks. My family and friends want to give you some thanks. So before this dinner's all swallowed and chewed, thank you God for this stupid food!

Philip

Ashley, honey, where is your violin?

Ashley

Big Sal has it.

Big Sal?

Ashley

He owns this really cool store where you don't even need any money. You just go in and give him something you don't even want and he gives you this ticket and...

Philip

A pawn shop?! You took her to a pawn shop?!

Will

Yeah, you don't have many pawn shops in Bel-Air. I had to drive all the way to east L.A.

East L.A.?

Philip

How dare you pawn her violin?!

Ashley

(about Ice Tray coming to visit) Word up. This is gonna be cold, stupid on the serious tip.

Philip

What did you say, young lady?

Ashley

I mean, this is quite an exceptional idea, Daddy. Peachy keen even.

Ashley

I can't believe Carlton went to bed early.

Will

Ashley, if you found out the only person in the world who would go out with was mentally deranged, you'd go to bed too.

Carlton

There's been a tragedy at school! Somebody scratched the word "Fresh" on the alumni desk. They already have a lead on who did it.

Will

[nervously] They do?

Carlton

They think it was a freshmen who lost his cool.

Ashley

Lost his cool, that's funny. "Fresh" means cool, right Will?

Will

I can't keep up with this new hip lingo.

Ashley

But I thought that's why they called you the Fresh Prince?

Phillip

Day damn one, Vivian! Day damn one!

Will

Come on, Ashley. Let's write our letters to Santa.

Ashley

Will, don't you have something better to do with your Christmas vacation than writing some silly letter?

Will

Come on, Ashley. You can help me with mine. How do you spell Vanessa Williams?

Will

Okay, Ashley. First, we'll take Grandma to see the llamas and then we'll go on the roller coaster and the Ferris wheel.

Ashley

Will for the last time, we are not breaking into Michael Jackson's house!

Will

Yo! Yo! Yo! We're here to display...

Carlton

A look at a woman who's 40 today.

Hilary

She's smart and well-dressed, so just to give thanks...

Ashley

This is your life, Vivian Banks.

Hilary

Forget it, Ashley, I am not getting you a stun gun for Christmas.

Ashley

I'm not really going to use it on Cousin Bobby I just want to scare him with it.

Hilary

Look, we haven't seen him since Aunt Janice's wedding. Maybe we remember him worse than he is.

Will

Yeah, right, and maybe it was Barbie's idea to catch that tan in the microwave.

Ashley

I know where babies come from. I took sex education.

I thought you took band.

Ashley

What if no one likes me?

Will

Just do what Carlton does: give them money.

Carlton

Wow. Will, check out the talent. She's cool, she's hot, she's...

Will

YOUR BABY SISTER, MAN!

Carlton

[shrieks]

Will

Yo! Ease back, man! Ease back!

Carlton

What do you think you're doing?

Ashley

Buzz off, small stuff!

Carlton

That's it, Ashley! I want you to-- I'm ordering you to look unattractive!

Will

(to Ashley) What did you have for breakfast, hormones?

Ashley

Beat it! I'm workin' the room! [Walks up to a boy]

Ashley

Hi, Bobby

Carlton

Where'd she learn to walk like that?

Will

And where did she get that Lee Press-On body?

Will

I know you better float your midget boat on out of here. [pulls Kenny and pushes him into Carlton away from Ashley]

Will, man! Ease up!

Will

No, you ease up, man! What you trying to do?

The same thing you're trying to do. I'm just trying to press up this woman!

Will

YO, THAT AIN'T NO WOMAN THATS MY COUSIN!!!

Ashley

I am too a woman and I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my business!

Will

Don't you shake your neck at me like that, girl!

Ashley

Come on, Kenny!

Hey.

Carlton

AND DON'T SHAKE THAT EITHER!

Ashley

Wow!

Will

Dude sounds like a jackass.

Carlton

Actually, Will, he sounds like you.

Ashley

So when are we going out?

Oh, I don't know, baby. You have to let me check my book and I'll get back to you. You see, I wanna make sure I can give you my undivided attention.

Carlton

Actually Will, he's better than you.

I mean look at you. You got it going on. You got sweet hips, lips and finger tips. (a beautiful girl walks by) But baby got back! (to Ashley) Bye, baby. (while running towards the other girl) Whoa! Whoa! Wait a minute!

Carlton

Look, I know my sister needs me, but that girl is babe-a-licious!

Will

Carlton, I think you know what you have to do.

Carlton

I know, but still, I would have liked to have been there for Ashley. (runs after the beautiful girl)

Ashley

Kenny ran after that girl.

Will

Kenny is a different case.

Ashley

Carlton ran after the same girl.

Will

Well, Carlton is a basket case.
