Quotes 

• William 'Will' Smith : Uncle Phil? l just wanted to say thanks for coming to the pool hall and saving my butt tonight. l ain't seen too many people shoot like that. Where did you to shoot like that?

  Philip Banks : Let's just say, l've spent time in a pool hall or two in my life. l know what goes on there which is why l don't want you going down there in the first place. You think l want to spoil your fun? l just want you to come home in one piece.

• William 'Will' Smith : l also want to thank you for winning my money back.

  Philip Banks : Your money? l'll play you for it.

• Philip Banks : A hard head makes for a soft behind.

  William 'Will' Smith : So, you're gonna spank me?

• Philip Banks : We got to get that car back.

  William 'Will' Smith : Uncle Phil, you can't go down there by yourself. You can't handle those dudes. They got guys in there that make you look like Webster.

  Geoffrey : lf there are hooligans there, l should accompany you. ln the early '80s, l was sparring butler for Mr. Chuck Norris.

• William 'Will' Smith : [to Uncle Phil and Aunt Viv]  How y'all doing? l just got my hair cut. Kind of fly, huh?

  Philip Banks : l don't understand why you get your hair cut like that.

  William 'Will' Smith : Come on, Uncle Phil. All the brothers in Philly play their hair like this. Hair on top, none on the sides.

  [looks at Uncle Phil] 

  William 'Will' Smith : But l guess y'all got kind of a reverse thing going on here.

  William 'Will' Smith : Aunt Viv! Oooh, she's gone.

  Philip Banks : That's right, Will. No one can hear you scream.

• William 'Will' Smith : [to Uncle Phil about telling Aunt Viv what happened when she was gone]  How come you didn't tell her what really happened?

  Philip Banks : Because l don't want her to worry about it. lt's between you and me.

  William 'Will' Smith : Do you think she'll put two and two together when the cops dig my body up?

  Philip Banks : Don't give me any ideas, Will.

• Philip Banks : Jeffery? Break out Lucille!
