‘Will Goes a Courtin’

Season 4, Episode 6 -  Aired October 18, 1993

Uncle Phil takes Will and Carlton to court after they refuse to pay rent and then host a pool party against his wishes.

Quote from Will

Judge: Mr. Smith.
Will: Thank you. Your Honor, I'm from West Philadelphia, born and raised. On the playground is where I spent most of my days. I don't have a big bag of fancy courtroom tricks. Or a high-priced degree from Princeton like my worthy adversary, Judge Philip Banks. But what I do have is the truth!
Philip: Oh, shut up, Will! Your Honor, Mr. Smith is making a mockery of the entire legal system.
Will: And this man is making a mockery of a finely cut Italian suit.
Judge: Order in the court.

Quote from Hilary

Hilary: Thank you, Chet. It's good to be back. Yes, I'm here at the Farmers Market, and as you can see my fans haven't forgotten me.
Man: Why haven't you answered any of my letters?
Hilary: Well, the good news is the heat wave is over. L.A. will have a high tomorrow of only 65. [crowd cheers] Oh, sorry, that "LA" stands for Louisiana. Our high will be 112. [crowd groans] Well, they have the same abbreviation. This is Hilary Banks surrounded by ordinary people at the Farmers Market. Now back to you, Chet. Don't any of you touch me.

Quote from Geoffrey

Philip: I can't believe she wore that dress.
Geoffrey: Would you like a Swedish meatball, sir?
Philip: Don't mind if I do.
Geoffrey: Ah-ah. Only one, sir. The rest are for Master William and his friends, poolside.
Philip: What? I can't believe that he would deliberately disobey me!
Geoffrey: I wouldn't call it disobedience, sir. It's more like outright defiance.
Philip: That's it! [exits]
Geoffrey: [to himself] Dance, puppets, dance!

Quote from Will

Carlton: Hey, Will, any sign of Dad yet?
Will: Well... That's either him or a rhino that got his horn chopped off.

Quote from Geoffrey

Carlton: I don't know why I ever listen to you. I was content having my father push me around for the rest of my life. Now who knows what he's gonna do to us.
Will: Relax, man, what's he gonna do, sue us?
Geoffrey: Oh, gosh, now you've gone and spoiled the surprise.
Will: What's this?
Geoffrey: Subpoenas from your father. And may I say, it's been a pleasure serving you.

Quote from Geoffrey

Carlton: What's this?
Philip: A bill for your breakfast.
Carlton: Dad, this is an outrage! Three dollars for orange juice?
Geoffrey: Oh, and I've taken the liberty of adding a 15-percent gratuity.

Quote from Hilary

Will: Okay, Miss Banks, you were the previous tenant in the aforementioned pool house, is that correct?
Hilary: Yes.
Will: And would you please tell us of your experiences there.
Hilary: Am I under oath?
Judge: Of course.
Hilary: Well, Trevor would come over at about 3 o'clock in the morning and we would...
Will, Carlton & Philip: Objection!
Judge: That does it! You may step down.

Quote from Will

Carlton: Dad, when are you gonna get the air conditioner fixed? It's sweltering in our place.
Will: Yeah, man, it's so hot out there the Uh-Huh Girls just went: Unh.
Hilary: Everybody keeps talking about this heat wave. Maybe I should mention it in today's weather report.
Will: You know, that girl has got the mind of Willard Scott. Hey. Come to think of it, you got his body. Y'all should team up.

Quote from Philip

Philip: [on the phone] Everything is fine, Vivian. Tell Ashley and Nicky that I miss them too. Okay? Okay, love you. Oh, kiss your sister for me. [hangs up] God knows I wouldn't do it.

Quote from Hilary

Hilary: Well, Daddy, L.A.'s favorite weather girl is ready to go back to work.
Philip: With that on?
Hilary: Oh, I know, I'm tired of black too but I want the public to know I'm still mourning Trevor's death.
Philip: Oh, you know, I just don't think that black is the right color for this kind of heat.
Hilary: Oh, don't worry, Daddy, this dress is surprisingly cool. It's like I'm wearing practically nothing.
[Philip nudges Geoffrey after noticing him staring at Hilary]
Geoffrey: She's not my daughter.
