Jazz and Tyriq both want to be Will's partner when he goes on Double Trouble. Meanwhile, Uncle Phil causes chaos around the house with his handiwork.

Quote from Will

Will: Hey, what's up, Ty?
Tyriq: Nice weather we're having. Guess that's 'cause we're the third planet from the sun. Unlike Mercury, where the surface is perpetually molten. For you.
Will: I appreciate the gifts, fellas, but, you know I think I still want to see other people. Oh, look, a little nasty piece of carpet with a vest.
Tyriq: Will, this is Winky. Winky, Will.
Will: Where'd you get a stupid name like Winky?
Tyriq: Man, Winky was my father's name.

Quote from Will

Geoffrey: Master William?
Will: Yo, what's up, G?
Geoffrey: Young Leiberbaum stopped by on his way to the airport.
Will: What? Where's he going?
Geoffrey: He wouldn't say. It appears he's been getting notes warning him to get out of town.
[Will looks at Jazz and Tyriq on the couch]
Will: Come on, how y'all gonna play Leiberbaum? Man, this is just a stupid game show.
Jazz: There's more at stake here than a stupid game show, my brother.
Tyriq: That's right, our friendship's on the line. Come on, pick your best friend.
Jazz: Yeah, go ahead, Will, tell him. Who's gonna be your partner?
Will: All right, I pick... I pick Carlton.

Quote from Jazz

Will: Hey, fellas, it worked out perfect, right? We all got to be on the show!
Jazz: Have we met? Or am I too stupid to remember?
Tyriq: Jazz, I think that's that backstabbing Smith boy. Oops, time to breathe again.
Will: Oh, it's like that? Well, look, at least one of us will win the car and when I do, you guys can grab a bus and meet me at the beach.

Quote from Will

Bob Eubanks: Now it's time for the final round of Double Trouble and let's find out just how well our contestants know their partners. And here's how it works. While Will and Jazz are in the soundproof booth we're gonna ask their partners a question about them. So, Will and Jazz, if you would please take your places in our soundproof booth.
Will: Wait. That joint ain't gonna fill up with water or nothing, Bob, is it?
Bob Eubanks: Not this week. Go ahead. All right now, Carlton and Tyriq, here's your question. [Will & Jazz start fighting in the booth] If your partner could name only one person as his best friend who would that special person be? Now you have until the buzzer sounds to think about it. [countdown music] Time is up. All right, Carlton, let's hear your answer.
Carlton: Well, Bob, let's back it up for a moment and define this thing called friendship. You see, the ancient Mayans-- [buzzer]
Bob Eubanks: Carlton, your time is up. Okay, Tyriq who is Jazz's best friend?
Tyriq: [crying] I'm sorry, Bob, this is a bad time.
