Quotes 

• William 'Will' Smith : [to Uncle Phil]  I had basketball practice and school, and work...

  Philip Banks : Welcome to the real world, Will. That's no excuse, there's never an excuse!

• Will : [rejecting Phil's gift]  I- I can't take this, Uncle Phil. I, um- There's something I need to tell you.

  Philip Banks : What is it?

  Will : [nervously]  Those pills that Carlton took... um, they- they were from my locker.

  Philip Banks : [shocked]  What?

  Will : [stammers]  Uncle Phil, I was keeping them in case I needed them...

  Philip Banks : How could you be so stupid? You know you shouldn't be messing with drugs!

  Will : [stutters nervously]  I know, Uncle Phil! Somebody gave them to me at school. I didn't mean for Carlton to take them. I mean, I didn't even know if *I* was gonna take them!

  [pause] 

  Will : I'm sorry, Uncle Phil...

  Philip Banks : [angrily cuts him off]  Sorry?

  [he walks up to Will] 

  Philip Banks : My son could have died because of you!

  Will : Look, I know Uncle Phil. That's all I've been thinking about! B-but you gotta believe me, Uncle Phil, I didn't mean to hurt him...

  Philip Banks : Yeah, well, you did! You hurt him, and you could have hurt yourself!
