When Will feels home sick for Philly, Aunt Viv invites one of his old friends, Ice Tray (Don Cheadle), to come visit.

Quote from Hilary

Hilary: Dad, are you saying that you wouldn't mind if Tray and l, like, got married?
Philip: Mind? Mind? [laughs] Did you hear that, Vivian?
Vivian: Mind? [both laugh]
Ice Tray: Well, that's good, because Hilary and I got married this afternoon.
Vivian: Hilary, no! No! How could you do this to us? How could you be so stupid? Hilary, do you realize you've gone and ruined your life? This boy doesn't care-
Vivian: Mom, take it down 1,000. It's only a joke. We didn't get married. We just wanted to see what you'd do.
Ice Tray: See, baby, I told you they'd flip. Yo, Homey, order me three steaks and a salad. Come on, baby. Let's dance. [chuckles] Got married.

Quote from Will

Will: You enjoyed it, huh?
Vivian: Oh, yeah, a lot.
Will: Wasn't Hilary falling in love with Tray just the icing on the cake?
Vivian: I'm glad they had fun together.
Will: Yeah, me, too. It's just a shame he had to leave before he had a chance to ruin her life, you know.
Vivian: Will, I'm sorry I said that, it's just that-
Will: But you meant it. I mean, it was cool just as long as Tray was some clown to come out here and bring me some cheese steaks and cheer me up.
Vivian: Will.
Will: Hold on. The second that you found out Hilary liked him, you wanted him out of here. And that's something I'd expect from Uncle Phil, not from you, Aunt Viv.

Quote from Geoffrey

Geoffrey: I shall load Mr. Tray's belongings into the cannon. I mean cab, madam.
