Carlton Banks : [to Will] What's your complaint here? We were detained for a few hours. Dad cleared things up and we were released. The system works.
Will Smith : l hope you like that system 'cause you'll be seeing a lot of it in your lifetime.
Carlton Banks : Not if l bring a map.
Will Smith : You just don't get it, do you? No map is going to save you and neither is your glee club or your fancy Bel-Air address or who your daddy is. When you're driving in a nice car in a strange neighborhood none of that matters. They only see one thing.
Carlton Banks : Maybe growing up where you did has made you a little touchy, but l think you've blown this thing out of proportion. If you look at the facts...

Will Smith : [while on the news] Yeah, we done it. Word to Big Bird. We fIicked eight Benzitos, 15 Jags, and a Maserati! But I didn't Iike the uphoIstery so I took it back, Jack!
Newscaster : [to Carlton] Do you have anything to say?
Carlton : [in a whiny voice] Dad!

Will Smith : Any time you see a white guy in jail, you know he did something bad.
-
Will Smith : Yo, Carlton.
Carlton Banks : Yeah?
Will Smith : Those cops were "just doing trying to do their jobs"?
Carlton Banks : Will, don't get all bent out of shape.
Will Smith : Man, you ain't learn nothing this weekend, did you?
Carlton Banks : I most certainly did. Always bring a map.
Will Smith : What?
Carlton Banks : If we would have had a map, we wouldn't have had to drive two miles an hour trying to find a freeway entrance, and we wouldn't have been stopped.
Will Smith : [scoffs] Oh, okay, okay. I get it now. We were stopped 'cause we were driving too slow. We were breaking the slowness limit. Oh, okay. Well, you see, I never heard of that law before, but I did hear this other law. It's called the "If you see a black guy driving anything but a burnt-out Pinto, you better stop him because he stole it" law. Yeah, I've heard about that one. Oh, but see, I thought it was the Black Guy law, when in actuality it was the Slowness Limit law. Oh, thank you for sharing that with me, Carlton. Good night.

Carlton : Will, don't get all bent out of shape.
Will : Man you ain't learned nothing this weekend did you?
Carlton : I most certainly did. Always bring a map.
Will : What?

Will : Oh ok I get it now. So we were stopped because we were driving too slow. We were breaking the slowness limit. Ohh see I ever heard of that law Carlton, but I did hear about this one. It's called the "if you see a black guy driving anything but a burnt out pinto, you better stop him because he stole it" law.

Phillip Banks : Shouldn't have happened in the first place.
Carlton : Hey dad if you were a policeman and you saw a car driving 2 miles an hour, wouldn't you stop it?
Phillip Banks : I asked myself that same question the first time I was stopped. Good night.
Carlton : I would stop it.
