- Carlton Banks: Will, I've never judged you, but you always act like you carry around some measure of blackness that I don't live up to.
- Will: Wait a minute, you never judged me? You do everything except carry around a big 'ol gavel. You act like I'm an idiot just because I talk different.
- Will: [runs inside] Uncle Phil! Aunt Viv!
- Vivian Banks: Will, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in San Fransico?
- Phillip Banks: Where's Carlton?
- Will: Uncle Phil, before you get all angry-
- Phillip Banks: Where's Carlton?
- Vivian Banks: Where is my baby?
- Will: In Compton.
- Vivian Banks: Compton?!?!
- Phillip Banks: What's he doing in Compton?
- Will: A really bad imitation of me.
- Phillip Banks: Where?
- Will: At Jazz's crib.
- Vivian Banks: I'm going down there right now and getting my baby back!
- Phillip Banks: Vivian, baby. Slow down. Nobody is going anywhere. Expect Will.
- Will: Wait, I'm Will. Where am I going?
- Phillip Banks: Down to Jazz's crib to find your cousin.
- Phillip Banks: Why do I always have to be the heavy?
- Will: [thinks] Nah... I'm in enough trouble already.
- Will: [talking to Carlton] Now look, the only way we'll make it is if we stick together.
- [Will and Carlton shake hands]
- Phillip Banks: Explain.
- Will: [pointing to Carlton] It's all Carlton's fault!
- Vivian Banks: Carlton, you are not going down to McArthur Park tonight. In fact
- [to everyone]
- Vivian Banks: none of you are going down to McArthur Park tonight.
- Tiny: [stands up] Wait a minute.
- Vivian Banks: Boy, do not test me.
- Tiny: Yes, ma'am.
- Will: Here we are. Jazz's crib.
- Carlton Banks: Crib: dwelling, home, place of residence.
- [holds up note-cards and Will takes them]
- Will: Hip-hop flashcards?
- Hilary Banks: I sold my first painting at the art gallery. I think I'm going to get a raise soon.
- Geoffrey Butler: That's marvelous, Miss Hilary.
- [glares at Philip]
- Geoffrey Butler: You must let me know what that feels like.
- Vivian Banks: You know, Will, for all you walk around here saying 'I wish people would let me act like I want to act', you're always giving Carlton a hard time about acting like he wants to.
- Carlton Banks: That's the point I was trying to make, Mom.
- Vivian Banks: That's no excuse.
- Carlton Banks: Dad, I know it may not make sense, but I had to prove that I had the courage to make it there.
- Phillip Banks: That's not courage. Courage is being yourself no matter what *anybody* else thinks. So your cousin makes fun of you, you think that means you have to go along with a stupid bet? Will makes fun of me all the time, you don't see me going, 'yo yo yo, homie, yo!'
- Carlton Banks: There's no "Yo" on the end of it. I'm pretty sure of it.
- Will: I'm sorry, Aunt Viv.
- Vivian Banks: You're sorry? Will, how many times are we going to hear 'I'm sorry'? When are you going to start acting responsible and take accountability for your actions?
- Will: [pause] I'm sorry, Aunt Viv.
