Will Quote #51

Quote from Will in Not with My Pig, You Don't

Susan: [on the phone] Feature desk, please. Jake? Melissa. Look, I'm having second thoughts about this Philip Banks piece. It's just one long, boring resume. For a while there, I thought I had an angle about the ASPCA but that turned out to be a blind alley. I'm telling you, this man's life is boring. His own son kept nodding out. We better kill the story. Okay. Bye. [hangs up]
Will: Hold up, lady. My uncle has been looking forward to this all week. If you kill that story, he's gonna get mad. If he gets mad, the heat comes down on me.
Susan: Look, kid. You got to wake up and smell the java. Your uncle's dull. Dull, dull, dull.
Will: Dull? Sweetheart, that's one thing my uncle is not. Max out, lady. I got a couple of stories for you.

Hilary: Growing up on the mean streets of Baltimore, Maryland, Philip Banks overcame great obstacles to win a scholarship to Princeton University in 1963.

Quote from Will

Philip: Well, the community leaders are recognizing me for helping our brothers and sisters on the streets.
Will: But the only time I've ever seen you on the street is when you waiting for the valet to bring your car around.
Philip: Is that so, son? Well, let me tell you something. The '63 March on Washington? I was there. The '65 demonstrations at Selma, I was there. The '65 Watts Riots, I was there, too.
Will: Seems to me every place you go, trouble follows.
Vivian: Will, your uncle deserves this award. He's fought a lot of discrimination cases. He's prosecuted slumlords. He's started scholarship funds.
Will: All that and he still found time to vote for Reagan. Twice.
