will:
You know what? Actually, this works out better for me, you know. The slimmies of summer come to class wearing next to nothing, you know what I'm saying...

Hey, why should I be mad? At least he said goodbye this time. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present.

[takes out a small statue of a father sitting with his son on his lap] You know what, you ain't got to do nothing, Uncle Phil. Ain't like I'm still five years old, you know. Ain't like I'ma be sitting up every night asking my mom, "When's Daddy coming home?", you know. Who needs him? Hey, he wasn't there to teach me how to shoot my first basket, but I learned, didn't I? And I got pretty damn good at it too, didn't I, Uncle Phil?Got through my first date without him, right? I learned how to drive, I learned how to shave, I learned how to fight without him. I had *fourteen* great birthdays without him. He never even sent me a damn card!

[turns toward the front door] [shouts] To hell with him!

[long pause as Will struggles to regain his composure] I ain't need him then and I don't need him now.No, you know what, Uncle Phil? I'ma get through college without him, I'ma get a great job without him, I'ma marry me a beautiful honey, and I'ma have me a whole bunch of kids. I'll be a better father than he ever was, and I sure as hell don't need him for that, 'cause ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids!

[long pause; Will starts to cry]

William 'Will' Smith : How come he don't want me, man?
