The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - Season 4 Edit

A couple of days. On some business.

After all these years.

Ain't like I'll be sitting up every night asking my mom:

All right, give me that ball.

All the time. When you look this good, you have to get used to it.

And acts like nothing has happened. Wake up, Will.

And did you know your old man was All City point guard?

And here I am today. Excuse me.

And I can make it because I am the best.

And I was right.

And I'm a different man now.

And this must be little Nicky.

And yet, it's come back with a vengeance.

Anybody can make one. They have little girls out here that can make one.

As good as I am, I can't make the deadline by myself.

At least he said goodbye this time.

Because he's doing this for himself.

Because I don't wanna miss that.

Because I've been there.

Because that's what a man does.

Because you're my son and I love you.

Bull.

Business. I talked to this guy who's got this shipment.

But I am my own boss. And I'm making a little money.

But I didn't run out on my family. I was there every day for them.

But I still managed to keep the fantasy.

But I totaled your MasterCard.

But if I can forgive him, how come you can't?

But now that you're back, you have responsibilities to him.

But this ain't about you. This is something I gotta do for me.

Can I speak to Will alone, please?

Carlton, I'm only going for the summer, man.

Carlton.

Cut the crap, all right? Cut it.

Daddy, I had a little accident at the mall. I'm okay.

Daddy, there's a dance next Friday, but it's not over till midnight.

Did you have a good time?

Don't hurt yourself now. I don't want to take you back broke.

Don't let this height fool you, you hear?

Everything is...

Excuse me, but this is a family discussion.

Fine, Philip.

Fine.

For four years, I treated that boy like my own son.

For soon he'll die a violent death

G, I'd like you to meet...

Good luck. I'll miss you.

Good to see you again, Uncle Lou.

Got through my first date without him. I learned how to drive.

Gotta go from L.A. To Maine in 72 hours if I can make it.

He been scoping me since he got here. I think he's a cop.

He made a mistake.

He never even sent me a damn card. To hell with him!

He wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned.

He's doing fine.

He's like a genie on Valium. Make a wish, hurry.

He's my dad

He's my father.

He's really good.

Here comes Mr. Sunshine.

Here, pick a card.

Hey, Aunt Viv.

Hey, come here. Come here.

Hey, I'm doing fine.

Hey, I'm sorry. He does.

Hey, just cool it.

Hey, man, that ain't no big thing.

Hey, Uncle Phil.

Hey, watch yourself, watch yourself.

Hey, what's up, man? Can I get you something?

Hey, what's up?

Hey, you wanna stop by the crib later and have some dinner?

Hey, you want some more coffee or something?

Hi, Will. Hi, Lou. My God.

Hi.

His life goes on. He's not supposed to be here for you.

Hold the tape measure.

How are you doing?

How long are you in town for?

I ain't scared of no kiddie roller coaster ride.

I asked Geoffrey to tell you.

I can't believe he could be so selfish.

I can't believe how lucky I am.

I didn't need him then and I don't need him now.

I don't have much of an appetite.

I don't need him for that, because there ain't a thing...

I don't think I'd be too welcome.

I guess she didn't mention it to you. Yeah.

I guess we all have a lot of catching up to do.

I guess we both said some things we didn't mean.

I had 14 great birthdays without him.

I hate you!

I have done everything for Will.

I just wasn't ready to be a father.

I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present.

I knew this was gonna happen.

I learned how to shave. How to fight.

I mean, you know that this is just for the summer, right?

I must be an old man, because little Ashley's all grown up.

I said, sit down, Lou.

I started feeling trapped.

I still hold the record for the most consecutive foul shots.

I stopped on the way home. I had a few drinks.

I talked to your mother three months ago.

I thought it might be more fun this way.

I understand, I understand.

I was just out of line.

I wish you the best.

I worked my ass off trying to keep him in line.

I'll buy Will a plane ticket to Maine...

I'll get a great job without him.

I'll marry a beautiful honey, have a bunch of kids...

I'll wait in the pool house.

I'm a trucker now. Got my own rig and everything.

I'm busy, though. I got a lot of work and stuff I need to do.

I'm glad you two got to spend some time together.

I'm gonna get through college without him.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm fine, I'm fine

I'm not gonna do your dirty work for you.

I'm ready to be part of your life, if you'll let me.

I'm sorry that everybody can't be as perfect as you, Uncle Phil.

I'm sorry. If there was something that l...

I've been waiting for this for a long time, my whole life...

If I can stop him from coming home.

If you need...

If you think any differently, then you're a fool.

It ain't like I'm still 5 years old.

It was great seeing you, son.

It was like I couldn't even think about it because I knew it wasn't gonna happen.

It was selfish and cowardly...

It's a great way for Will to see the country.

It's great. I'll pick you up then, son.

It's okay. It's okay.

Just cool down. We can talk about this another time.

Let me hold you.

Let's see, where do I begin?

Listen, Vy, I told you last night, we're keeping a close eye on Will.

Look, I'll call you next week and we'll iron out the details.

Look, I'm here for you, my brother.

Look, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll skip dinner.

Look...

Lou Smith.

Lou, if you walk out of Will's life now...

Man, I'm glad you're here.

Man, you ever feel like you was being watched?

Me too, man.

Mostly during the '80s.

My dad has to hit the road tomorrow. And I'm gonna go with him.

My goodness, haven't seen you since you were 3 years old.

No, I meant what I said.

No, I see you don't believe me.

No, I'm cool, Aunt Viv.

No, I'm fine, son

No, I'm not gonna hit him.

No, it's cool. Knock yourself out, man.

No, no, no, I'm the one. I'm sorry.

No, they'll be cool. So look, I get off at 6.

Now it's real.

Now you gonna tell Will or not?

Now, when Will was a baby, I was scared...

Oh, come on.

Oh, well, I know you're living with Philip and Vivian.

Oh, yeah? Well, take a number.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I know what you're saying.

Oh, yes, yes.

Okay, fine. He's puffed up like a blowfish and bald as an egg.

Okay. Okay.

Philip, can I see you in the kitchen, please?

Philip, listen to yourself.

Philip, stop moping.

Please, you was up there screaming so loud...

Really?

See that dude over there?

Shall I call 911?

She's Hilary.

Show Lou to the family room, please, while Will helps me here with...

Shut up, Geoffrey.

So how'd you find me?

So I thought I'd stop by and see how my boy was doing.

So I'm gonna pick up an extra driver.

So is he a cop?

So there won't be any room for Will.

So we're gonna have to put our trip on hold.

So why did you?

Some business came up I gotta handle.

Somebody's being selfish all right, but it isn't Will.

Still a stone cold fox.

Suddenly, it's like none of that matters.

Sure

Thanks, Daddy.

Thanks.

That would be nice.

That's mighty generous of you, Philip...

That's my boy.

That's okay, honey. Everybody makes mistakes.

That's okay, stay out as late as you wish.

That's terrific. You and Will better get a move on.

That's why I was thinking maybe you two should break the news to him.

The boy could use a little adventure.

The first time I held you...

The hell with your father.

The master lives a life of ease

The slimmies this summer come to class wearing next to nothing.

Then why'd you run out on him?

This is the same guy who didn't think enough of you to pick up the phone.

Turn yourself in, Will. It's the only way.

Uncle Lou, it's me, Carlton.

Uncle Lou?

Uncle Phil, man, you know I appreciate everything you've done for me.

Uncle Phil, that is not cool, the way you dissing my father like that.

Vivian, would you take Nicky upstairs, please?

Vivian.

Wait a minute, man. I ain't do nothing.

Waste not your tears And save your breath

We just getting started, right, Daddy?

We rode every roller coaster in the park.

Well, anyway, I was driving through L.A. On business...

Well, for one, we can get to know one another.

Well, I...

Well, I'll just take this pretty gold one.

Well, let's just sit down and have a nice, quick visit.

Well, Lou. It's been a while.

Well, now, that's the problem.

Well, one day I just panicked and ran.

Well, one truck.

Well, when I was 6, we all moved from the hood...

Well, why'd he say it?

Were your ears burning, sir?

What are you doing here?

What is wrong with you? Come here. Come here.

What?

What's up?

When did you get so tall?

When you talk that stupid, you have to get used to this, man:

When's Daddy coming home? Who needs him?

Where's Lou? He's supposed to be here an hour ago.

Whether he needed a pat on the head or a kick in the pants, I was there for him.

While we live life upon our knees

Who is this beautiful woman?

Who knows if we'd ever see you again? Come on.

Whoa, hold up.

Why didn't you send any back to the wife and child you abandoned?

Why is there a truck parked in my...?

Why should I spend my summer wasting at the Peacock...

Will is gonna be crushed.

Will is not a coat that you hang in the closet...

Will, do you mind if I move your things around while you're gone?

Will, I owe you an explanation.

Will, you should have told me. You really should have told me.

Will.

Will.

Will.

Will's father is a deadbeat who left him and his mom flat.

Works for me.

Wow, 14 years. You must feel like you're on a roller coaster of emotions.

Yeah, almost threw up like three times.

Yeah, Ashley...

Yeah, I know. I know, son. And...

Yeah, it's a miracle.

Yeah, Lou still looks great.

Yeah, that's cool.

Yeah, Uncle Phil, he owns his own trucking company now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You a better man than me.

You are not my father!

You don't remember me.

You happy?

You know what I'm saying?

You know what, Aunt Viv...

You know what, you ain't got to do nothing, Uncle Phil.

You know Will didn't mean what he said.

You know, Carlton, up until a few days ago...

You know, sir...

You know, Will was doing just fine till you showed up.

You know, Will, I used to hold you just like this.

You see...

You see...

You think I want this? It just happened.

You think that Uncle Phil is gonna be cool with this?

You too, all right?

You too, Lou.

You understand?

You win. You the man.

You're not gonna hit him, are you?

You're not gonna talk him into staying?

You're right. You're right.

And I got pretty good at it too. Yeah.

And I'll make myself a quick five grand. Yeah.

Are you kidding? You're the best. Oh, thank you, son.

But... Yeah, I do.

Can I have access to my trust fund? Not a chance.

Did you bring me anything? Carlton?

Forget it. Come on, Phil.

Fourteen. Excuse me, 14 years.

Get out. Right.

Hello. Uncle Lou!

Hey, Uncle Phil, man. You promised.

Hey, Uncle Phil. Hey, hey, hey.

Hilary, this is... I'm Will's father.

I didn't say nothing. No, you didn't have to say nothing.

I don't think so. Who cares what you think?

I should go. Don't be silly.

I think so. Yeah. All right.

I'll call him. Yeah, do that.

I'm sorry, Will. Actually, this works out better for me.

I'm sorry. Look, why are you telling me this now?

Just for a couple of weeks. I understand.

Long time, huh? Fourteen years.

Look, we're still gonna take the trip. Oh, bull!

May I? Sure.

Maybe a little longer. Yeah, whatever. Whatever.

Maybe he got stuck in traffic. Yeah, on his way out of town.

Mr. Smith has arrived. Sorry, I'm late.

No, you don't. Yes, I do.

Not this trip, no. But, you know, I'll tell you what, Lou.

Okay? Yeah, yeah.

Part of my life. How? Yeah.

Philip, for God's sake. He waltzes in here after 15 years?

Really? Yeah, man.

Say, big guy... Carlton...

Sit down. I ain't got time for no lecture.

Vivian. Oh, that was fun.

We're back. I have to go. Bye bye.

Well, then, can l...? Hey, save some for me.

What's with him? I don't know.

Will, it's all right to be angry. Hey, why should I be mad?

Will... You know what, Uncle Phil?

Yeah, I'll do that. Daddy O.

Yeah. He's good.

Yeah. Well, two ain't nothing either.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yep. What do you mean?

You don't believe me? I didn't say nothing.

You mean he's your... Yeah, that's right. He's my Lou.

You take care of yourself. Yeah.

You're supposed to be here for him. You get off my back!

...ain't even nothing to talk about.

...am I a good father?

...and ain't nobody gonna stop me. Come tomorrow, I'm out of here.

...and be a better father than he ever was.

...and I gotta stay flexible, you know what I'm saying?

...and that way you could hook up and have the summer together.

...but that's what I did.

...but this job could lead to another big one...

...don't you ever come back.

...he could ever teach me about how to love my kids.

...I didn't think I'd ever put you down.

...I never even thought I'd see my father again.

...I think of the poem my dear mum used to recite to me as a lad.

...I thought I was sitting next to Patti LaBelle.

...I thought I was sitting next to Patti LaBelle.

...something. This way, sir.

...the day you were born was the happiest day of my life.

...then pick it up when you're ready to wear it.

...this is your Uncle Lou.

...Uncle Phil, I owe you an apology.

...when I can hit the road with my dad?

...whenever I'm feeling blue...
