"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" Bang the Drum, Ashley (TV Episode 1990) - Janet Hubert as Vivian Banks

Philip Banks : Will, I want the best for Ashley. When I was young I loved classical music, but my parents could never afford lessons. I would stand in parking lot outside the Phil Harmonic, hoping to catch a spare note in the night air.

Vivian Banks : Philip, when I met you, you were into James Brown.

Will : [laughing] He liked James Brown?

Vivian Banks : He even wore his hair like him.

Will : [laughing harder] He had hair?
Vivian Banks : [after Philip kicking Jazz out of the house] Philip, you drop-kicked a human being across the front lawn.

Philip Banks : It felt good, damn it! Back in the saddle again.

Vivian Banks : I think living down the street from the Reagans has had a very bad effect on you.
William 'Will' Smith : [about Ashley] You're trying to control her too much. She's nine years old and she already has a calender telling her where she has to be and what she has to do.

Philip Banks : But she doesn't have to worry about that because you tell her what to do? You're not her father.

William 'Will' Smith : All right. But how come you didn't even know she doesn't like the violin?

Philip Banks : She liked it for a whole year until you moved into this house. Can you explain that?

Ashley Banks : I never liked it, Daddy.

Vivian Banks : That explains it.
Vivian Banks : Will, You're only 17. You don't have a rep yet.

Janet Hubert: Vivian Banks
