- Quotes
[last lines]
Will: Give me a hug.
Carlton Banks: What?
Will: I said give me a hug, man. A brother get shot, he get a little emotional. Now, get over here and give me some love.
[Carlton gives Will a hug, then Will feels something in Carlton's jacket pocket]
Will: What's that?
Carlton Banks: It's a gun.
Will: Carlton, are you out of your mind, man? You walking around carrying a gun, what do you think you're gonna do with that?
Carlton Banks: It's for protection.
Will: Carlton, you think it's that easy to just shoot somebody?
Carlton Banks: I'll close my eyes.
[Carlton flips a food tray in anger]
Will: I was gonna eat that, man.
Carlton Banks: Everything's a damn joke to you.
Will: So what, you don't think I'm mad? Huh? I've been laying up in this hospital an inch away from being paralyzed, you don't think I wanna get up out this bed and go catch that...
Carlton Banks: It's not gonna happen again, not to me!
Will: Carlton, I understand that you're scared, man, but the world can be a scary place. You just gotta learn to deal with it, alright?
Carlton Banks: Yeah, well, I found my way.
Will: That's not you, man, that's them.
Carlton Banks: Look, I didn't come here for your approval, alright? I came here to see how you were. I'm outta here.
Will: Carlton.
Carlton Banks: No more hugs, Will.
Will: I saved your life, man. I saved your life, YOU OWE ME! Now give me the gun, Carlton.
[pause]
Will: Give me the gun. I saved your life, I want the gun!
[Carlton slowly lays the gun at Will's feet, then leaves the room. Will leans forward for the gun and sees that the gun was loaded and starts crying]

After I finished watching this one I felt like I had just been yelled-at for expecting something humorous. The gritty and dramatic themes come up out of nowhere with all the subtlety of an atomic bomb going off. At best its sudden attempt at an extremely straight face for once in the show's run just comes off as jarring and trying way too hard to win that Emmy - the dramatic themes really aren't done that well anyway.
Again, the show does handle serious issues very well (interracial marriage, drugs, parental abandonment), but this episode really has no place in the show. It was just _too_ serious.
This isn't Star Trek, which could bounce between genres as freely as it wanted; this was a sitcom. A sitcom that at times delved into the serious issues but tried to stay away from them for the sake of its viewers. Except this time. And it was just insulting.
