The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Season 4

[after Lou leaves]

Philip:
I'm sorry, Will.

Will:
You know what? This actually works out better for me. You know, the slimmies of summer come to class wearin' next to nothing, y'know what I'm sayin'?

Philip:
Will, it's all right to be angry.

Will:
Hey, why should I be mad? At least he said goodbye this time. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying him this stupid present. [pulls a father-son statue from his bag]

Philip:
I'm sorry. If there was something I can do--

Will:
Hey, y'know what, you ain't got to do nothin', Uncle Phil. You know, ain't like I'm still five years old, you know? Ain't like I'ma be sittin' every night asking my mom: "when's daddy comin' home," you know? Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned, didn't I? And I got pretty damn good at it too, didn't I, Uncle Phil?

Philip:
Yeah, you did.

Will:
Got through my first date without him. Right. I learned how to drive, I learned how to shave, I learned how to fight without him. I had 14 great birthdays without him! He never even sent me a damn card! [looks back at where Lou just left] THE HELL WITH HIM!!! ... I didn't need him then, I don't need him now.

Philip:
[as Will passes him] Will...

Will:
No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'ma get through college without him, I'ma get a great job without him, I'ma marry me a beautiful honey, and I'ma have me a whole bunch of kids. I'ma be a better father than he ever was, and I sure as hell don't need him for that, [gets emotionally charged] 'cause there ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids! [long pause; breaks down] How come he don't want me, man? [embraces his uncle]
