Quotes5

  • Philip Banks: [picks up some food on his plate, while on a diet after a heart attack] What the heck is this?
  • Geoffrey: [hesitates] Chicken, sir. Oh! You probably don't recognize it without a thick coating of batter and gravy!
  • [walks away]
  • Philip Banks: [drops the chicken piece] I can't do this. I can't give up my favorite foods cold turkey... Oh my God. Turkey. With... pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes.
  • [Will and Geoffrey the Butler exchange looks]
  • Philip Banks: Butter-drenched dressing. Tiny onions! Swimming in a sea of cream sauce. Oh!
  • [Carlton visits Phil in the hospital after he has a heart attack]
  • Carlton: Hey, dad. I would have come sooner but... I couldn't stand to see you like this. I mean, you're like Superman to me.
  • Phillip Banks: Yeah, and cheeseburgers are my kryptonite, huh?
  • Philip Banks: [while in the ambulance] Would you do me a favor, Will?
  • William 'Will' Smith: Uncle Phil, we are not stopping for no burger!
  • Philip Banks: No, no, no. Would you tell Carlton to look after the family just in case this is my last ride?
  • William 'Will' Smith: Your last ride? Whatcha you talking about, man? We gonna go for plenty of rides in ambulances, man.
  • Phillip Banks: What are you talking about? I weigh the same as I did in high school.
  • Will: Yeah, if you add up all four years.
  • Philip Banks: Will! I can't breathe! I can't breathe!
  • William 'Will' Smith: Hey man! My uncle says he can't breathe!
  • Paramedic: That could be because you're leaning on his oxygen hose.
