Will Smith: Will Smith

Quotes 

• Will : His highness would like you to clean his sneakers. And you will clean them with your toothbrush. Not up and down, not side to side, but in a circular motion.

  Carlton : Does he want you to clean his room?

  Hilary : God, no.

  Carlton : Will you clean *mine*?

• Hilary : What do you know?

  Will : I know that the basic element of physics is matter. And if you were going to write a term paper, you would have to know something, from... I don't know, the first day?

  Hilary : How did you find out?

  Will : I have my methods, and that Toni's roommates have a combined IQ of a raisin.

• Phillip Banks : So Vivian, how were your classes today?

  Vivian : Fine. I just wish my students would concentrate more on their work. They're very easily distracted.

  Will : I see it every day. Don't you, Hilary?

  [Hilary barks like a dog] 

  Vivian : Did you say something, sweetie?

  Hilary : No.

  [Phillip takes a drink from his glass] 

  Hilary : Will Smith is perfect!

  Will : Why, thank you. It's so nice to be appreciated.

  Phillip Banks : Yes, but perhaps at another time. Your mother was trying to say something and I'm sure she would appreciate it if she weren't interrupted again.

  Hilary : Anyway, as I was saying...

  [Phillip takes another drink] 

  Vivian : Will Smith is the king of the universe!

  Will : Why, thank you Hilary!

  [Hilary barks] 

  Phillip Banks : Hilary!

  [Hilary barks again] 

  Vivian : Look, I know people get a little silly around midterms. But not at the dinner table. Hilary

  Hilary : Sorry, Mom.

  [Carlton clinks his fork on his glass] 

  Hilary : Will Smith is the scum of the earth!

  Vivian : Hilary!

  [Hilary barks, then Phillip takes a drink] 

  Hilary : However... Will Smith is the pinnacle of manliness.

  [Carlton clears his throat and Hilary smacks Will upside the head] 

  Vivian : Hilary!

  [Hilary barks, Carlton clears his throat, Hilary smacks Will again] 

  Ashley Banks : What's with Hilary?

• Hilary : [referring to Will blackmailing her to do embarrassing things at dinner]  Will, if you have an ounce of compassion, you'll let me off the hook.

  Will : That's a good point.

  [pauses to think] 

  Will : Nah! We'll do it anyway.

• Will Smith : [directly into camera]  REVENGE.
