Philip Quote #16
Quote from Philip in Not with My Pig, You Don't
Presenter: In addition to the civil rights cases he has won as an attorney, Philip Banks is a community leader, an unsparing philanthropist and a role model to all citizens. Ladies and gentlemen, Philip Banks. [applause; Will cheers]
Philip: Thank you. Thank you. I grew up on the streets of Baltimore. But I was born on a farm in Yamacraw, North Carolina. I was one of the lucky ones. I had two wonderful parents who worked hard every day of their lives. They couldn't give me a lot of material things but they gave me morals, courage and most important of all, love. I just hope I can give the next generation what my parents gave me.
Hattie: Oh, I hope he mentions his pig.

Quote from Philip
Philip: I must be kidding myself. I had it all planned out. There was my family, all lined up to meet the press. There I was, with my perfect image. Philip Banks pulled himself up from the streets with his own bootstraps. The only problem was, I didn't have it that hard. I had two parents who loved me and were always there for me and worked hard to make sure I'd have everything they never had.
Will: I mean, why are you worried so much about your image? The truth sounds real good to me.
Philip: I don't think my mother will ever forgive me.
Will: Man, you must be tripping. Granny's great. Just explain it to her.
Philip: Will, there's something you have to learn. Sometimes parents just don't understand. [Will looks to camera]
