2. Yo, man, you ever feel like you was being watched?

3. All the time.

4. But when you look this good,

5. you have to get used to it.

6. When you talk that stupid,

7. you have to get used to this.

8. Ow!

9. Come here. Come here.

10. He's been scoping me ever since he got in here, man.

11. I think he's a cop.

12. Turn yourself in, will.

13. It's the only way.

14. You're right. You're right.

15. Wait a minute, man. I didn't do nothing.

16. Get over there.

17. Ahem.

18. Hey, what's up, man? Can I get you something?

19. No, I'm fine, son.

26. Will?

27. You don't remember me, but, um—

28. yeah, I do. Hey, what's up?

29. Long time, huh?

30. 14 years.

31. Uncle Lou, it's me—Carlton!

32. Did you bring me anything?

33. Carlton? My goodness!

34. I haven't seen you since you were 3 years old.

35. I guess we all have a lot of catching up to do, huh?

36. Well, when I was 6, we all moved from the hood and—

37. and here I am today.

38. Ha ha. Excuse me.

39. Hey, you want some more coffee or something?

40. That would be nice.

41. When did you get so tall?

42. Mostly during the eighties.

43. Thank you.

44. So, how'd you find me?

45. Well, I...

46. Talked to your mother about three months ago.

47. I guess she didn't mention it.

48. I was driving through L.A. on business—

49. well, I'm a trucker now—

50. got my own rig and everything.

51. So, I thought I'd stop by and see how my boy was doing.

52. Hey, I'm doing fine. Yeah. I'm busy, though.

53. You know, I got a lot of work and stuff I need to do.

54. I understand.

55. Um...

56. You take care of yourself, you hear?

57. You, too, all right?

58. Whoa, whoa. Hold up.

59. Hey, you want to stop by the crib later

60. Oh, well, I know you're living with Philip and Vivian,

61. and I don't think I'd be too welcome.

62. You know what I'm saying?

63. No, they'll be cool. I get off at 6:00.

64. That's great.

65. I'll pick you up then, son.

66. Ok.

67. Good to see you again, Uncle Lou.

68. You must feel like you're on a roller coaster of emotions.

69. Hey, man, that ain't no big thing.

70. Sure.

71. I'm here for you, my brother.

72. Let me hold you.

73. Hey, aunt viv.

74. Hi, will. Hi, Lou—

75. oh, my God!

76. Vivian.

77. After all these years...

78. Still a stone cold fox.

79. Will, you should have told me.

80. You really should have told me.

81. I asked Geoffrey to tell you.

82. I thought it might be more fun this way.

83. And I was right.

84. G., I—I'd like you to meet, uh...

85. Lou Smith.

86. Show Lou to the family room, please,

87. while will helps me here with, uh, something.

88. How are you doing?

89. Oh, no, I'm cool, aunt viv.

90. I stopped on the way home.

91. I had a few drinks.

92. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm fine.

93. You think that Uncle Phil's going to be cool with this?

94. I think so. Yeah...

95. If I can stop him from coming home.

96. Who is this beautiful woman?

97. She's hilary.

98. Um...

99. Hilary, this is, uh—

100. I'm will's father.

101. Oh, come on.

102. Will's father is a deadbeat

103. who left him and his mom flat.

104. Hello.

105. Uncle Lou! Ha ha!

106. Well, let's just sit down and have a nice, quick visit.

107. Vivian?

108. Ooh, that was fun.

109. Why is there a truck parked in my...

110. What are you doing here?

111. Philip, can I see you in the kitchen, please?

112. Uh... I should go.

113. Don't be silly.

114. Who knows if we'd ever see you again?

115. Come on.

116. I must be an old man,

117. because little Ashley's all grown up. Ha ha ha.

118. Yeah, Ashley, um,

119. this is your Uncle Lou.

120. Uncle Lou?

121. You mean, he's your—

122. yeah, that's right. He's my Lou.

123. And this must be little Nicky?

124. Uh-huh.

125. May I?

126. Sure.

127. Ohh. Oh, yes, yes.

128. You know, will,

129. I used to hold you just like this.

130. Then why'd you run out on him?

131. Well, Lou, it's been a while.

132. How long are you in town for?

133. A couple of days. On some business.

134. Yeah, Uncle Phil. He owns his own trucking company now.

135. Well... One truck.

136. But I am my own boss.

137. Really? Why didn't you send any back to the wife and child you abandoned?

138. Hey, Uncle Phil, man.

139. If you'll excuse me, I think I'll skip dinner.

140. I don't have much of an appetite.

141. Shall I call 911?

142. I ain't scared of no kiddie roller coaster ride.

143. I thought I was sitting next to Patti LaBelle.

144. Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

145. Ha ha!

146. Ha ha! Ha ha!

147. Will, I owe you an explanation.

148. No, you don't. Yes, I do.

149. See, the day you were born

150. was the happiest day of my life.

151. The first time I held you,

152. I didn't think I'd ever put you down.

153. So why did you?

154. I just wasn't ready to be a father.

155. I started feeling trapped.

156. Well... One day I just panicked and ran.

157. It was selfish and cowardly...

158. But that's what I did.

159. And... I'm sorry.

160. Look, why are you telling me this now?

161. Because you're my son, and I love you.

162. And I'm a different man now.

163. I'm ready to be part of your life,

164. if you'll let me.

165. Part of my life? How?

166. Well, for one, we can get to know one another.

167. And did you know that your old man was all-city point guard?

168. Really?

169. Yeah, man. I still hold the record

170. for the most consecutive foul shots.

171. You don't believe me.

172. I didn't say— I didn't say that.

173. No, no, no. I see you don't believe me.

174. Hey, come here. Come here.

175. Don't let this height fool you, kid.

176. Uh-huh.

177. I didn't say nothing. Don't hurt yourself now.

178. I don't want to take you back broke.

179. Anybody can make one.

180. Even little girls out here can make one.

181. Two ain't nothing, either.

182. Uh-huh.

183. He's really good.

184. He's my dad.

185. All right, give me that ball!

186. Listen, vy, I told you last night,

187. we're keeping a close eye on will.

188. He's doing fine.

189. Everything is—

190. Yeah. Lou still looks great.

191. Hey, I'm sorry. He does.

192. He's puffed up like a blowfish and bald as an egg.

193. Were your ears burning, sir?

194. We're back!

195. I got to go. Bye-bye.

196. Did you have a good time?

197. We rode every roller coaster in the park.

198. Yeah, I almost threw up, like, three times.

199. This is my boy!

200. I'm glad you two got to spend some time together.

201. Oh, shoot. We're just getting started.

202. Ain't that right, dad? Yep.

203. Oh, my dad has to hit the road tomorrow,

204. Why should I spend my summer wasting at the peacock

205. when I could hit the road with my dad?

206. Oh, hey, watch yourself. Watch yourself.

207. It's a great way for will to see the country.

208. Forget it.

209. Aw, come on, Phil.

210. The boy could use a little adventure.

211. Excuse me, but this is a family discussion.

212. Hey, Uncle Phil, man—

213. hey, hey, hey, hey. It's ok. It's ok.

214. I'll wait in the pool house.

215. Hey, Uncle Phil, that is not cool, man,

216. the way you dissing my father like that.

217. To hell with your father!

218. Philip, for God's sake—

219. he waltzes in after 15 years—

220. 14!

221. Oh, excuse me, 14 years,

222. and acts like nothing has happened!

223. This is the same guy who didn't think enough of you

224. to pick up the damn phone!

225. He made a mistake.

226. I'm sorry that everybody

227. can't be as perfect as you, Uncle Phil.

228. But if I can forgive him, how come you can't?

229. Because he's not doing this for you.

230. And if you think any differently, then you're a fool!

231. Hey! Hey! Just cool it. Just cool down.

232. We can talk about this another time.

233. You know what, aunt viv?

234. Ain't even nothing to talk about.

235. I've been waiting for this for a long time— my whole life,

236. and ain't nobody going to stop me.

237. Come tomorrow, I'm out of here.

238. Who cares what you think? You are not my father!

239. You know, sir...

240. Whenever I'm feeling blue...

241. I think of the poem

242. my dear mom used to recite to me as a lad.

243. "The master lives a life of ease,

244. "while we live life upon our knees.

245. "Waste not your tears, and save your breath,

246. for soon... He'll die a violent death."

247. Works for me.

248. Daddy, I had a little accident at the mall.

249. I'm ok, but...

250. I totaled your mastercard.

251. That's ok, honey. Everybody makes mistakes.

252. Here... Pick a card.

253. Well... I'll just take this pretty gold one.

254. Thanks, daddy.

255. I don't know. He's like a genie on valium.

256. Make a wish. Hurry.

257. Daddy, there's a dance next Friday,

258. but it's not over till midnight...

259. It's ok, Ashley. You can stay out as late as you wish.

260. Really?

261. Well, then, can I—

262. hey! Save some for me!

263. Say, big guy—

264. Carlton...

265. Am I a good father?

266. Are you kidding? You're the best.

267. Oh, thank you, son.

268. Can I have early access to my trust fund?

269. Not a chance.

270. I hate you!

271. Ok, well, take a number!

272. Ah! Here comes Mr. sunshine.

273. Shut up, Geoffrey.

274. Philip, stop moping.

275. You know will didn't mean what he said.

276. For four years, I've treated that boy like my own son.

277. Whatever he needed, whether it was a pat on the head

278. or a kick in the pants, I was there for him.

279. I worked my ass off trying to keep him in line.

280. And yet it's come back with a vengeance.

281. I have done everything for will.

282. Suddenly, it's like none of that matters.

283. Oh! I can't believe he could be so selfish.

284. Philip, listen to yourself.

285. Somebody's being selfish, all right,

286. but it isn't will.

287. if I move one or two of your things around while you're gone?

288. Oh, no, it's cool. Knock yourself out, man.

289. You know, Carlton,

290. I never even thought I'd see my father again.

291. You know, it's like I couldn't even think about it

292. 'cause I knew it was never going to happen.

293. But I still managed to keep the fantasy.

294. Now it's real.

295. I can't believe how lucky I am.

296. Yeah. It's a miracle.

297. Hold the tape measure.

298. Carlton, I'm only going for the summer, man!

299. Hi.

300. Uh, could I speak to will alone, please?

301. Look, you're not going to talk him into staying, are you?

302. Get out. Right.

303. Look, uh, Uncle Phil, I owe you an apology.

304. No, no, no.

305. I'm the one. I'm sorry.

306. I guess we both said some things we didn't mean.

307. Oh, I meant what I said.

308. I was just out of line.

309. Look, Uncle Phil, man, look,

310. you know I appreciate everything you've done for me.

311. But this ain't about you, man.

312. This is something I got to do for me.

313. Yeah, I know. I know, son.

314. And, um...

315. I wish you the best.

316. Good luck.

317. I'll miss you.

318. Me, too, man.

319. Hey, Uncle Phil, I mean,

320. you know that this is just for the summer, right?

321. Where is Lou? He was supposed to be here an hour ago.

322. I knew this was going to happen.

323. Maybe he got stuck in traffic.

324. Yeah, on his way out of town.

325. Mr. Smith has arrived.

326. Sorry I'm late.

327. Business.

328. I talked to this guy...

329. Who's got this shipment gotta go from L.A. to Maine

330. in 72 hours, if I can make it.

331. And I can make it, 'cause I am the best!

332. And I'll make myself a quick 5 grand!

333. That's terrific. Isn't it?

334. Guess you and will better get a move on.

335. Well, now, that's that problem.

336. As good as I am, I can't make the deadline by myself.

337. So I'm going to pick up an extra driver.

338. Oh... Oh, so, uh,

339. so there won't be any room for will.

340. Not this trip.

341. Oh. I'll tell you what, Lou.

342. I'll buy will a plane ticket to Maine, and that way

343. and still have the rest of the summer together.

344. That's, um, mighty generous of you, Philip,

345. but, uh, this job could lead to another big one,

346. and I got to stay flexible. You know what I'm saying.

347. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know what you're saying.

348. Will is going to be crushed.

349. Yeah, uh...

350. That's why I was thinking

351. maybe you two should break the news to him.

352. Um, Vivian, would you take Nicky upstairs please?

353. You're not going to hit him, are you?

354. 'Cause I don't want to miss that.

355. No, I'm not going to hit him.

356. Lou, if you walk out of will's life now,

357. don't you ever come back.

358. Sit down.

359. Ain't got time for no lecture.

360. I said sit down, Lou!

361. You know, will was doing just fine till you showed up.

362. But now that you're back,

363. you have responsibilities to him.

364. Hey, look, we're still gonna take the trip.

365. Oh, bull! Bull!

366. Will is not a coat that you hang in the closet,

367. then pick it up when you're ready to wear it.

368. His life goes on.

369. He's not supposed to be here for you!

370. You're supposed to be here for him!

371. You get off my back! You think I want this?

372. It just happened!

373. Now, when will was a baby, I was scared—

374. cut the crap, all right?

375. Cut it! 'Cause I've been there!

376. I was there every day for them, because that's what a man does.

377. Fine, Philip!

378. You win.

379. You the man.

380. You a better man than me.

381. You happy?

382. Now, are you going to tell will or not?

383. I'm not gonna do your dirty work for you.

384. I'll call him from the road.

385. Yeah, then why don't you do that.

386. Yeah, I'll do that.

387. Daddy-o!

388. Whazzup?

389. Will... I'm glad you're here.

390. Um... Some business came up I got to handle.

391. So we're going to have to put, uh,

392. our trip on hold.

393. You understand.

394. Yeah, yeah. That's cool. That's cool.

395. Just for a couple of weeks.

396. I understand.

397. Maybe a little longer.

398. Yeah, whatever, whatever.

399. Look, I'll call you next week,

400. and we'll iron out the details, ok?

401. Yeah, yeah.

402. It was great seeing you, son.

403. You, too... Lou.

404. Yeah, um... See...

405. You know what? Actually, this works out better for me.

406. You know, the slimmies of summer are coming

407. to class right next to now, you know what I mean?

408. Will, it's all right to be angry.

409. Hey, why should I be mad?

410. For saying, at least he said goodbye this time.

411. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money

412. buying this stupid present!

413. I-I'm sorry.

414. hey, you know what? You ain't got to do nothing, not now.

415. It ain't like I'm still 5 years old, you know?

416. I ain't like I'm gonna be sitting up every night,

417. asking my mom, "when's daddy coming home?" You know?

418. Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there

419. to teach me how to shoot my first basket,

420. but I learned, didn't I?

421. And I got pretty damn good at it, too,

422. didn't I, Uncle Phil? Yeah, you did.

423. Got through my first date without him, right?

424. I learned how to drive, I learned how to shave,

425. I learned how to fight without him.

426. I had 14 great birthdays without him!

427. He never even sent me a damn card!

428. To hell with him!

429. I didn't need him then, and I don't need him now.

430. I'm going to get through college without him.

431. I'm gonna get a great job without him.

432. I'm going to marry me a beautiful honey,

433. and I'm having me a whole bunch of kids.

434. I'm going to be a better father than he ever was.

435. And I sure as hell don't need him for that,

436. 'cause there ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me

437. about how to love my kids!

438. How come he don't want me, man?
