Jazz: Greetings, my brother.
Will: Yo, what up, J?
Both: Pssh.
Jazz: What's up, man?
Will: Just doing a little packing here for my honeymoon. Oh, J, J. [holds up a shirt] Daywear. [holds up a toothbrush] Night wear.
Quote from Will
Lisa: Well, we haven't heard from our folks. They must be getting along.
Will: Or one of them's dead and one of them's a fugitive.
Quote from Jazz
Jazz: Well, I gotta run. Hortense took the car in the settlement. [grabs Lisa's hairs] At least she ain't got no weave.
Quote from Hilary
Hilary: Oh, Lisa. This dress looks almost as beautiful on you as it would on me.
Lisa: Thanks, Hilary.
Will: I need to talk to my wife. Well, to be. Her.
Hilary: Forget it, Will. You can't see her before the wedding. It's bad luck.
Will: Well, I'll risk it. It's important.
Hilary: Well, make it fast. If I start to frizz, you're a dead man. Congratulations!
Quote from Will
Will: Baby.
Lisa: Baby?
Will: Oh, hey, hey.
Lisa: Will, what's wrong?
Will: Um... You know, this is really hard without looking at you. Hey, hey, girl! This ain't no time to be getting freaky.
Lisa: Will, I was trying to hold your hand.
Will: Oh, yeah? Well, that wasn't it.
Quote from Will
Will: Um... Babe, listen I've been kind of, you know, having doubts.
Lisa: What kind of doubts, Will?
Will: Just tiny little nagging, constant doubts in the pit of my stomach, you know? It's like, we so different. I mean, look, you know, it's just that you seem so sure of yourself, you know? And so sure about us. And I'm scared. I guess this, like, ain't the best time to be telling you this.
Lisa: No, no, baby, I'm really happy that you did because I've been scared too.
Will: Really? I thought I was alone in this. Why you ain't tell me, girl?
Lisa: I don't know. I guess for the same reasons you didn't tell me.
Will: You know, I can't tell you how good it feels to know I can tell you anything. Now I know we gonna be all right.
Lisa: Yeah.
Will: I love you, baby.
Quote from Will
Minister: William, do you take Beula Lisa Wilkes to be your lawfully wedded wife?
Will: Yes, I... [Lisa lets go off Will's hand and raises hers up in the air. Will high-fives her.] Whoo! ... do.
Lisa: But I don't. [crowd murming]
Lisa: Will, I'm sorry, but I just think if we both have doubts about this whole thing...
Will: Wait, wait, no, had. We had doubts. Remember, babe? We talked about it. We both feel better.
Lisa: No, baby, you feel better. But I think we're making a really big mistake. And if you think about it, you will too.
Will: No. No, Lisa I really love you.
Lisa: Will, I love you too, but I think our parents might be right. I think maybe we just rushed into this thing too fast.
Will: Well... Well, I guess we shouldn't get married, then, should we?
Lisa: Not today.
Will: Hey, looks like we finally agree on something.
Lisa: Yeah. [giggles] [they kiss]
