Philip: After we gave you a second chance, this is how you repay us.
Luther: I did not rob you.
Philip: Oh.. You gotta believe me. Will, you believe me, right?
Will: You know, it's people like you that give ex-cons a bad name. I- I'm calling the police, man. [A cop knocks on the door] Damn, that was fast! Yo, they must have thought we was White folks.

Janice: Well, Vy, tell me, what's the real deal between you and Robert?
Vy: I wasn't in love with him.
Aunt Helen: Girl, are you crazy? That man had a business, a car and money. Now, what's love got to do with it?

Will: Yo, G, here's the whipped cream you wanted for dinner.
Geoffrey: Who said it was for dinner?

Kayla: Let me tell you something. I got four older sisters, all of them mamas before they was 18. None of them finished high school. Everybody's waiting for Kayla. I'm the last chance for the whole damn family and you have no idea what that feels like.
Vivian: Oh, I know what that feels like. And I know what it feels like to clean hotel rooms during the day and go to school at night just to get the high school diploma I didn't get.
Will: Aunt Viv, you dropped out of high school?
Vivian: It's not something I'm proud of, but I did it. My whole family was counting on me, too. But I couldn't handle the pressure, so I ran off with some guy and quit school. By the time I realized I'd made a mistake, it was too late. I was left with no education and nothing I was qualified to do. It took me years to get back. And honey, if you wonder why I seem to fit so well here it's because I worked damn hard to get here and I know I deserve it. Your problem is is that you don't know you deserve it. Will knows it and I know it, but unless you know it there is nothing more I can say.

Vivian: Let those kids out.
Sergeant: These kids are car thieves.
Vivian: Then you have made a big mistake. Now, I don't know how you got that bogus confession out of them but those two boys haven't stolen a thing from anyone. This has got to the biggest amateur operation I have seen since Mayberry R.F.D.
Police Officer: Could you ask your wife to calm down?
Vivian: Calm yourself, Barney Fife.
Philip: Vivian, please. Now, officers, I'm sure we can clear this whole matter up quite easily.
Sergeant: Could you please sit down? We're busy now.
Vivian: Oh, honey, we're about to get very busy.

Philip: You can put your hands down, Jazz.
Jazz: No way. Dude's got a gun, next thing you know I got six warning shots in my back.
Philip: Jazz.
Jazz: Okay. I am putting my hands down now.
Philip: Jazz, could you give us your account?
Jazz: Can't. They closed my account. They said I was allegedly writing bad checks. I don't know what they talking about. Those checks was perfectly legible.

Will: Lot of good times in this house, huh?
Philip: A lifetime's worth. You okay?
Will: Yeah, yeah. No, no. I'm cool. I'm cool, Uncle Phil. You know, it's just when I first came out here, you know I was a relative. But for the past six years, it's like we've been family. I just don't wanna go back to being just a relative again. I mean, I lived without a father and without brothers and sisters and all of that. I like this life better. I want you to call me on Sundays too when you're calling all your other kids. Look, um I love you, Uncle Phil, and I just don't wanna lose you, you know, any of you.
Philip: You're not gonna lose us. You are my son, Will. End of story. You just better be sure that your butt is by a phone on Sunday.
Will: You got it, man. [they hug]

Will: Um... "From the first time I saw you, I knew that I wanted to be with you always. I knew that I wanted to hold you and love you..."
Backing singers: Smith Will Smith, yeah
Will: Right on. All right. Um...
Backing singers: They say this cat Smith Is a bad mother-
Will: Shut your mouth.
Minister: Well, they talking about you.
Will: Can I do this, please? Um, where was I? "Lisa..."
Minister: You're a complicated man There's no one who understands you But your woman
Backing singers: Will Smith
Will: [sighs] Look, Lisa, what I'm trying to say is.... [singers whooping] All right, that's enough! [Will whooping] That's it. Look, Lisa, baby, I'm telling you I want to marry you, but definitely not like this.
Lisa: Right on, Will.
Will: Oh, by the way, dude, your Isaac Hayes impression stinks.
Minister: I don't know, I thought it was pretty good.

[band playing Isaac Hayes' "Theme from Shaft"]
Minister: Come, my children. [Lisa giggles] Who's the Black Philly man that's gonna Take this fine woman's hand
Backing singers: Smith
Will: That's fine, that's me, baby.
Minister: You're damn right Who is the man that's got some vows In his hand to tell his woman
Backing singers: Will Smith
Minister: Can you dig it?
Will: "Lisa, you're my sun, my moon, my stars. You're my whole universe. You make me feel complete. I wanna be with you forever..."
Backing singers: Smith
Minister: Sure enough.
Will: Right.

Angela: We offer a number of packages here. Groove on this.
Will: Oh! Ooh, this is the bomb. Oh, I knew I liked this place. Baby, look, they got a package on my all-time idol.
Lisa: Who's that?
Will: Who's the Black private dick who's a sex machine to all the chicks?
Lisa: Shaft?
Will: You're damn right.
Will: Oh, baby, he's been my idol ever since I was a kid. Can we have this one? Baby, can we have the Shaft package? Can we please do that one, baby, please?
Lisa: Well, okay, baby, but I don't wanna be given away by the pimp.
Will: But, baby, that's what makes the whole... All right, all right. [Lisa laughs] Give us the Shaft.
