The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air1990

Genre: Comedy
Will Smith more or less plays himself in this good-natured NBC sitcom. As the show's popular theme song explains, fictional Will's mom sends him away from his rough Philadelphia neighborhood to live with wealthy Uncle Phil and Aunt Vivian in Bel-Air… more »



William 'Will' Smith:
It's a shame Ice Tray had to leave before he could ruin Hilary's life.

Vivian Banks:
Will, I'm sorry I said that.

William 'Will' Smith:
But you meant it. It was fine when he was just some clown to come out here to bring me some cheesesteaks and cheer me up. But the second you found out Hilary liked him, you wanted him outta here. That's something I'd expect from Uncle Phil, but not from you, Aunt Viv.

Vivian Banks:
[in a stern tone] Hilary is my daughter!

William 'Will' Smith:
And Tray is my friend. We grew up together. We're from the same neighborhood, we're the same person, and if Tray's not good enough for this family, then maybe I ain't either.

Vivian Banks:
No! You are not the same person.

William 'Will' Smith:
I know who I am!

Vivian Banks:
I can see why you like Ice Tray; he's a lot of fun, everything is a joke to him: school, work, people. He doesn't care about anything.

William 'Will' Smith:
He always managed to care about me.

Vivian Banks:
Will, I'm glad he's a good friend, but that doesn't change who he is. I'm sorry, but a young man his age should be able to do something else besides fight and jump fences.

William 'Will' Smith:
You weren't there! Look, when I was a kid, every time I tried to bring books home from school, the kids would jump me, so Tray started walking me home, and if he hadn't been there to throw those punches and help me jump those fences, then I might not be here today.

Vivian Banks:
Well, while he was protecting your books, where the hell were his?

William 'Will' Smith:
What does that have to do with anything?

Vivian Banks:
Will, I'm glad he cares so much about you, but why doesn't he care about himself?

William 'Will' Smith:
Because nobody was there for him. Did you ever think if nobody was there for me, that I might not care about myself?

Vivian Banks:
And that would be an awful waste.
