Quotes3

  • Philip Banks: [to Michelle Michaels] I'm Philip Banks. This is my wife, Vivian. We're not hip, so we don't know your music. Nice to meet you anyway though.
  • William 'Will' Smith: There ain't gonna be a rematch. When he gets out of the hospital, he can have her.
  • Philip Banks: She dumped you?
  • William 'Will' Smith: Man you crazy?... Yeah.
  • Philip Banks: It was a nice ride while it lasted.
  • William 'Will' Smith: I think I loved her.
  • Philip Banks: Bull, you hardly knew her.
  • William 'Will' Smith: No, no. Uncle Phil, I knew her. You know what I'm saying? I knew her.
  • Philip Banks: You might have known her intimately, but you didn't know her well. Come on, face it, Will, it was the lifestyle you're in love with.
  • William 'Will' Smith: Time out. You trying to say that the only reason I loved her was because she was rich and let me sponge off of her? Then I love you too, Uncle Phil.
  • Philip Banks: [to Ashley] You were perfect, he fell for it, he'll never know we're throwing him a surprise party
