Carlton: Uncle Lou, it's me, Carlton. Did you bring me anything?
Lou: Carlton? My goodness, haven't seen you since you were 3 years old.
Carlton: I guess we all have a lot of catching up to do. Let's see, where do I begin? Well, when I was 6, we all moved from the hood and... And here I am today. Excuse me.

Lou: Who is this beautiful woman?
Hilary: She's Hilary.
Will: Um, Hilary, this is...
Lou: I'm Will's father.
Hilary: Oh, come on. Will's father is a deadbeat who left him and his mom flat.
Lou: Hello.
Hilary: Uncle Lou!

Will: Hey, you want some more coffee or something?
Lou: That would be nice. When did you get so tall?
Will: Mostly during the '80s.

Vivian: How are you doing?
Will: No, I'm cool, Aunt Viv. I stopped on the way home. I had a few drinks. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm fine, I'm fine. You think that Uncle Phil is gonna be cool with this?
Vivian: I think so.
Will: Yeah. All right.
Vivian: If I can stop him from coming home.

Lou: Uh, I should go.
Hilary: Don't be silly. Who knows if we'd ever see you again? Come on.
Lou: I must be an old man, because little Ashley's all grown up. [laughs]
Will: Yeah, Ashley this is your Uncle Lou.
Ashley: Uncle Lou? You mean he's your...
Will: Yeah, that's right. He's my Lou.
Lou: And this must be little Nicky. May I?
Ashley: Sure.
Lou: Oh, yes, yes. You know, Will, I used to hold you just like this.
Hilary: Then why'd you run out on him?

Philip: Well, Lou. It's been a while. How long are you in town for?
Lou: A couple of days. On some business.
Will: Yeah, Uncle Phil, he owns his own trucking company now.
Lou: Well, one truck. But I am my own boss. And I'm making a little money.
Philip: Really? Why didn't you send any back to the wife and child you abandoned?
Will: Hey, Uncle Phil, man.
Vivian: You promised.
Philip: Look, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll skip dinner. I don't have much of an appetite.
Geoffrey: Shall I call 911?

Lou: I ain't scared of no kiddie roller coaster ride.
Will: Oh, please, you was up there screaming so loud I thought I was sitting next to Patti LaBelle.

Lou: Will, I owe you an explanation.
Will: No, you don't.
Lou: Yes, I do. You see the day you were born was the happiest day of my life. The first time I held you... I didn't think I'd ever put you down.
Will: So why did you?
Lou: I just wasn't ready to be a father. I started feeling trapped. Well, one day I just panicked and ran.
It was selfish and cowardly... but that's what I did. I'm sorry.
Will: Look, why are you telling me this now?
Lou: Because you're my son and I love you. And I'm a different man now. I'm ready to be part of your life, if you'll let me.

Will: My dad has to hit the road tomorrow. And I'm gonna go with him. Why should I spend my summer wasting at the Peacock when I can hit the road with my dad?
Lou: Hey, watch yourself, watch yourself. It's a great way for Will to see the country.
Philip: Forget it.
Lou: Oh, come on, Phil. The boy could use a little adventure.
Philip: Excuse me, but this is a family discussion.
Will: Hey, Uncle Phil.
Lou: Hey, hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay. I'll wait in the pool house.

Ashley: Daddy, there's a dance next Friday, but it's not over till midnight.
Philip: That's okay, Ashley, you can stay out as late as you wish.
Ashley: Really? Well, then, can l...?
Carlton: Hey, save some for me.
