Philip: From the minute you came, you've been a one-man wrecking crew trying to tear down what's taken a lot of hard work to build up, skewering everything with your flippant shenanigans!
Will: Hey, man, I was with you up till ''skewering.''
Philip: You know what I'm talking about. You deliberately tried to embarrass me tonight and I don't get it. Your aunt and I went through a lot of trouble to bring you here. This is the thanks we get?
Will: Man, I ain't asked to come here. Everyone's talking about shipping me off, and dressing me up and changing me into something I don't wanna be.
Philip: Nobody wants to change you.
Will: You told me yourself, I got to straighten out. ''And when in doubt, act as Carlton acts.'' Man, I don't wanna be like Carlton. I mean, I'm a joker. I play around. I have fun.
Philip: Mmm-hmm. Being a joker is what's gotten you into trouble. Now, you may think it's cool to be on the streets when you're 17 but when you're my age, it's a waste.
Will: Yo, I can't think that far ahead.
Philip: That's your problem. You can't take anything seriously.
