Hey, hey, hey, hey, y'all ready to hit
the city of sisterly love?
Don't you mean brotherly love?
Take my word on this one, Carlton.
It doesn't matter how you sugar-coat it, Will.
This vacation has all the earmarks of stinking.
Well, I'm looking forward to it.
Yeah, me, too, come on, Carlton, this is Philadelphia
in the springtime, man, there's people all over the place.
There's guys playing stickball
girls in the street playing double dutch.
No country club reciprocity.
Okay, now, Geoffrey, we're gonna be gone for about
four or five days, you know what to do.
Don't worry, sir, the house is in excellent hands.
Do we have to go?
[sighs] Carlton, your Aunt Vy is dying to show us
how she's redecorated her home.
God forbid she should send a picture.
Philip.
- Come on, kids, let's go. - Oh, alright.
Let's get it over with.
Carlton, would you cool out a little bit, man?
What, just because you're not going to some fancy resort
somewhere, that means you can't have a good time?
It's a damn shame when people are spoiled by money.
[scoffs]
G, uh, put some butter on that and bring that out
to me in the car.

(Aunt Vy) 'Come on, ya'll, come right on in.'
Come on, come on, come on!
Oh, oh, there it is, y'all, hey, hey, check it out.
My TV chair.
Oh...I spent ten years
customizing this thing to my booty.
Now, I don't want none of you all sittin' in it
and stretchin' out my sweet spot.
Y'all know who you are.
Don't make me kill you in your mother's home.
I'm gonna go check out my bedroom.
Well, what do you guys think?
Vy, you have really perked this place up, hasn't she, Hilary?
Um, yeah, I mean, it's so..
...poor.
Ow!
Hey! My bedroom is exactly how I left it.
I even found my What's Happeninghome game.
What's happeningor what's happening now?
What's Happening.
Neato, I get to be rerun.
Hey, listen, listen, go find yourself a beret
and I'm gonna go get my stuff unpacked.
Hold it! Hold it! Hold it!
I'm putting both of you right out here
on the convertible couch.
And Ashley and Hilary will be with me.
Philip and Vivian will have your room.
But, mom, listen, you should probably make sure
that Uncle Phil sleeps on the bottom bunk.
'Cause if he get up on the top bunk
well, you know gravity ain't no joke.
You know what I'm saying, he could end up
getting up in China.
You know, Vy, Vy, uh, you know, we don't wanna be any trouble.
Why don't we just make reservations
at a hotel and just get out of your hair?
- 'Yeah, that's a great idea!' - That's a good idea.
No, no, no! There is plenty of room right here.
Yup, yup.
And I'll take it as a personal insult if you guys leave.
Yup, yup, yup-yup-yup.
How about if just I left?
Ow! Ow!
That's what I get for being considerate.
Vy, we'd be happy to stay here with you, all of us.
Good, but don't bother unpackin' now
'cause we got to get to the ballpark.
Teddy Pendergrass is singing the national anthem.
Oh, yeah, Phillies in the house.
Oh, you know, Vy, we're all a little jet-lagged.
Oh, well, I know Will wants to go.
Oh, yeah, take the subway to Broad and Patterson.
- You know it. - Hey, I'll tell you what.
I'll race you to the station.
- Loser gotta pay the fare. - You on.
W-w-wait a minute, tie your shoes first.
Oh, you're cheatin', you're cheatin', my mama cheatin'.
Come here!
How come we never have that much fun?
[yawns] I don't know. What's on TV?
God, I wish I was home.
Right about now, I'll bet Geoffrey's turning back
my covers and putting a little mint on my pillow.

(male #1) 'Hey, programs!'
- Yo! Hey, what's up, man? - How are you doing, man?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
[laughing]
[instrumental music]
Here it is, y'all, the best hoagie spot in the whole city.
They got the kind of food here that'll stick to your ribs.
And your feet.
What do you have to tip the maitre d'to get a good stool?
Unless you're here to stick up the joint, sit down and eat.
Take a tip, buddy, you won't get anywhere
in the service industry treating customers like that.
Hey, why don't you go take your Bing Crosby butt
over to the golden arches
and lie down in front of a drive-through window.
Ain't he great?
Hey, Duke, give me four cheese steaks, man.
Four Joe Frazier's in cheese trunks!
- Joe Frazier? - Yeah, it means big beef.
Duke names all the sandwiches after people.
Hey, give me one with mushrooms, Duke.
Wrap one in fungus!

Oh, y'all gonna love these drawers.
Hey, thanks a lot, Duke.
I've been dying for one of these!
Oh, my God! These are a mess!
- They're filled with grease! - Mm, yeah.
It's great, ain't it?
Hey, Will, is that the legendary Carroll Park
where you used to play basketball?
Oh, yeah, it sure is.
You call that pathetic strip
of graffiti-littered concrete legendary?
Can we go there after we eat?
Oh, well, uh, no, no, no, no, I don't think so.
Wow! I-it's Dick Clark!
- Hey! I grew up watchin' you! - Thank you, thank you.
How come I got older but you didn't?
Duke's sandwiches, a fountain of youth.
Hey, Duke, give me a chicken sandwich to go, will ya?
Sure thing, Mr. Clark.
One Will Smith.
- Will Smith? - Yeah.
We named it after this guy who got into a little scrape
across the street, only instead of fighting
he ran clear across the country to California.
He was a chicken, to go.
Oh, what a coincidence, his name is Will Smith.
You're kiddin'.
Wait a second, yeah, you're a little taller.
The ears are a little bigger, but it is you!
My man!
Alright!
Listen, it's me, but I didn't exactly run.
Hey, look, hey, Mr. Clark, we got another celebrity over here.
Say hello to Chicken Will, come on, my man, strut your stuff.
Hey, it's got a good beat, and you can run to it.
Not you, too, Dick.
Hey, there he goes! He's runnin' again!
Hey! Hey! Where you goin'?
California's the other way!
[clucking]
[instrumental music]
I'm in! I'm in! Ah-ah-ah-ah!
Oh, whoa! Oh, whoa!
- Oh, whoa! Aah! - 'Damn!'
If it isn't the Fresh Prince!
[both screaming]
Man, what y'all been into?
Yo, man, just working the 40-hour.
Yo, man, we thought you was living fat in California.
Uh, yeah, I was, and I would have stayed there
if I'd had known I was getting played like a clown back here.
Yo, that's not true, man.
Everybody just wanted to know where you've been.
Clarice, look, that's Vy's boy, Will.
- Hey, Will! - How you doing?
Boo!
[laughing]
- That's funny? - 'I ain't laughing.'
Is that funny? That's-that's exactly what I'm talkin' about.
I thought y'all was my boys, man.
Why didn't you tell me my rep was getting all sliced up?
Yo, we are your boys, man.
Hey, we figured you was never comin' back.
Yo, but every time somebody tried to dish you
we stepped to 'em, we got beat up plenty of times
tryin' to protect your rep.
- Word. - Y'all did?
Yeah, man.
Wedon't run away from our fights.
We can't, all our relatives live here.
Alright, you hooligans, disperse.
Stop taunting my cousin just because he ran away
from a fight.
Look, stumpy, I did not run!
I just-I just went to visit y'all
for four years.
Look, this is Chill, Soup, Steve, Word.
What's up, stumpy?
Why don't you go upstairs if you got to use the bathroom?
Hey, mister, there's nothing worse than dirty Dockers.
Alright, look, squash that.
What am I supposed to do about my rep?
Yo, you got to stand up to Omar Boulware, man.
- Word. - Uh, who's Omar Boulware?
Some guy Will wouldn't fight.
The dude that be spinning me
over his head in the opening credits.
Oh.
Man, yo, that is one mean brother, man.
Hey, yo, remember, remember, in junior high when he stole
the principal's car just to run him over?
Yo, where-where-where he be hangin' at, man?
Yo, he down around Shepherd Park, man.
You're not thinking of fighting this ruffian, are you?
Look, that's the only way, man.
Word.
Yo, Will, we got your back, man.
- He can't take all of us. - Straight up.
That's right.
I've been readin'.
Look, I-I appreciate y'all having my back and everything
but, um, you know, I got to take care of this myself.
- Okay. - Alright?
Carlton, come here, man.
Listen, I need your help, man.
I gotta go into training, man, I'm gonna kick Omar's butt!
- Come on. - Wait a minute.
I thought you said this was one-on-one.
What do you need me for?
Well, if I win, I need a witness.
If I lose, you're my blood type, come on.
- Keep cool. - Alright, man.

Jeez, this playground makes the other one look like Club Med.
Come on, Will, what are you trying to prove?
Hey, look, Carlton, you don't understand
about reputations, man.
I mean, they could follow you around like a-like a bad smell.
[sniffs]
Maybe you do understand.
I do know one thing, Will.
A bad smell isn't worth a mouthful of bloody Chiclets.
Let me explain something to you.
I am not some skinny little 14-year-old kid no more.
If anybody's gonna be bleeding
it's gonna be that big, pumpkin-head Omar.
- Uh, Will-- - Carlton, Carlton.
I have the advantage, not only is he big and dumb, he's slow.
- Will-- - 'Carlton.'
It's like, his brain is so tiny
when he shakes his big head like this
it sounds like a BB in a canteen.
Does he wear a black sweatshirt?
How the hell am I supposed to remember
if he wears a black sweatshirt?
Turn around.
Hey, man.
Yo, man.
We got this court.
Is that so?
You don't remember who I am, do you?
I don't care who you are.
I said we got this court.
[laughing]
You're funny, listen, we ain't scared of you, man.
Me and Carlton can take you.
You and who?
Carlton. Ain't that right..
Carlton?
[instrumental music]
Geoffrey, I will never live down the shame
of a domestic vacation.
Look, go to Rodeo Drive, buy a bunch of stuff
send it to someone you know in England
and have him mail it to all my friends.
[both laughing]
Where have you two been?
I sent you out of here four hours ago.
Oh, I'm sorry, mom.
We went for a long walk, I love this city.
Tell her about that scrapple place.
You ate scrapple?
That's made from the part of the pig
that's not good enough to go in sausage.
Oh, but it's good enough to go in Philip.
Oh, baby.
Yeah, well, this is all very nice but where are my groceries?
Uh-oh, I knew we forgot something.
I don't know, I'm supposed to be in England.
Get some English muffins.
Is that Geoffrey? Let me talk to him.
Geoffrey, I can't find my gold silk bathrobe, did you pack it?
Did I forget to pack that?
I'll keep an eye out for it, sir.
I'm sure it will turn up.
Enjoy the rest of your vacation.
Goodbye.
There is room for one more.
[laughing]
Let me tell you somethin', man.
You have kicked me off of this court for the last time.
I don't remember kicking you off the first time.
You really don't remember me, huh?
No.
Okay, okay, okay.
Hey, can I see that ball, brother?
How about a little hint?
Oh, I remember you.
But, hey, man, I'm not like that anymore.
Oh, really?
You look like the same bald-headed punk to me.
Oh, yeah, I remember you.
You the chicken sandwich guy.
[laughing]
I am not a chicken!
My mama made me move, man, my mama made me move.
I would never leave Philly, I love it here.
So do I, that's why I'm givin' back to it.
I stayed to help the kids in the area
so that they wouldn't make the same mistakes I did.
You-you sound like a
after-school special or something.
But that ain't gonna do nothin' for my rep.
Let's go right now, and I ain't takin' no for an answer.
You have no choice.
Let's go.
Okay, well, you're so stupid
you thought a quarterback was a refund.
How about that, hey, how about you're so ugly
that when you was born, the doctor just slapped
both your parents and your mom, oh, my goodness!
She is like a doorknob, everybody gets a turn.
Guess the mom's the red button.
Okay, okay come on, let's go, let's go!
Look here, man, I know what you're tryin' to do
but I am not gonna hit you.
Then I'm gonna tell everybody you're a punk then.
- Be my guest. - What about your rep?
Look, you see those guys over there?
That's my rep.
Brother, you need to grow up.
(Carlton) 'Will!'
Let me know when you need me.
- Thanks, Vy, for a lovely time. - You're welcome.
Will, the plane leaves in an hour, come on, hurry it up!
Oh, baby, it was so good having you.
Oh, and here, here's the, um, Phillies schedule.
Maybe you can come back when they make it
to the World Series.
I can't do it.
No need to get melodramatic, Will.
Just watch it on TV with the rest of us.
I'm talking about going back to Bel-Air.
I ain't ready to leave yet, I'm still having fun.
Fun? You've been ostracized since you got here.
Oh, man, what are you talking about, that Chicken Will thing?
Come on, man, that ain't nothing.
Guys be trippin' like that all the time.
You mean I was in a garbage can for nothing?
When were you in a garbage can?
Look, I'm just sayin', you know
I-I didn't realize how much I missed
just sittin' out on the stoop.
Look, when we get back, dad will buy us a stoop.
Come on, we're gonna miss the plane.
Yeah, I don't wanna spend another minute
in this sardine can.
Thanks for everything, Aunt Vy.
Will, I'll tell you what.
You stay for another week or so
and then you come home when you're ready, okay?
- Alright. - Okay, thanks a lot, Vy.
- It was wonderful. - Oh, bye-bye.
[indistinct chatter]
- Call me when you get home. - I will.
- Okay, take care. - Alright, bye, Hilary.
- Bye, Ashley. - Thanks again.
Well, isn't this a surprise?
Just me and you, just like old times.
That's right.
Now go clean up your room.
Go on.
[instrumental music]
What time is Will's plane coming in?
Oh, I don't know, he was supposed to call
with his flight arrangements
but once again, he's gets so wrapped up in his own life
that he cannot take the time to be a little bit responsible.
[telephone rings]
That must be him now.
- Hello? - Hey, Uncle Phil.
Will, are you at the airport?
Uh, no, um, I'm at home.
Well, what happened, you miss your flight?
Sort of.
Well, when are you coming back then?
I'm not.
