    Excellent episode

    This episode had a lot of laughs in it with some really good story. It's really great that Will wanted to fight the dude by himself with no one's help. Will Smith training like Rocky was the funniest part of the episode, and maybe the funniest thing in the whole show.The ending makes us wonder what will happen in the next season.

    • Quotes

      [Will confronting his former bully, Omar]

      Will: Let me tell you something, man. You have kicked me off of this court for the last time.

      Omar: I don't remember kicking you off the first time.

      Will: You really don't remember me, huh?

      Omar: No.

      Will: OK, OK, OK, OK. Hey, can I see that ball, brother?

      [takes a basketball from one of Omar's friends]

      Will: How about a little hint?

      [hits Omar in the head with the ball]

      Omar: Oh, I remember you, but hey man, I'm not like that anymore.

      Will: Really? You look like the same bald-headed punk.

      Omar: Oh yeah, I remember you. You the chicken sandwich guy.

      Will: I am not a CHICKEN! My momma made me move, man. My momma made me. I would never leave Philly! I love it here.

      Omar: So do I. That's why I'm giving back to it. I stayed to help the kids in the area not make my mistakes.

      Will: You sound like an after-school special or something, but that ain't gonna do nothing for my rep.

      [gets into a fighting stance]

      Will: Let's go right now, and I ain't taking no for an answer.

      Omar: You have no choice.

      [to his friends]

      Omar: Let's go.

      [starts walking away]

      Will: [approaches the fence] Oh yeah, well, you're so stupid, you thought a quarterback was a refund. How about that? Hey, you so ugly, when you was born, the doctor just slapped both your parents. And your mom, oh my goodness! She is like a doorknob. Everybody gets a turn.

      [Omar and his friends turn around]

      Will: Guess the mom's the red button.

      [Omar approaches Will]

      Will: OK, OK, come on, let's go, let's go!

      [tucks his head with his hands]

      Omar: Look here, man. I know what you're trying to do, but I am not gonna hit you.

      Will: [gets up] I'm gonna tell everybody you're a punk then.

      Omar: Be my guest.

      Will: What about your rep?

      Omar: Look, you see those guys over there?

      [points to his friends]

      Omar: That's my rep. Brother, you need to grow up.

      [leaves with his friends, as Will leaves the court and walks past a garbage can]

      Carlton: Will!

      [Will jumps, then sees Carlton, hiding in the can]

      Carlton: Let me know when you need me.
