The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air s04e11 Episode Script

Will, academic probation is serious.
How could you let this happen? It's Professor Burton's fault.
He used to be such an easy grader until him and his wife got a divorce.
Then he became impossible.
The last test he gave, I got a four, and I cheated.
No, this is horrible.
Hey, hey, Professor Burton, I hope that ain't my essay you're reading.
Hey, Will.
No, I haven't gotten to yours yet.
I'll finish them tonight right after I move the last of my things out of our Her garage.
Hey, look, well, have mercy on me, man.
You know, I'm on academic probation.
Now, Will, I like you, but I have to be objective.
When I'm at here the university I can't let my personal feelings influence my professional behavior.
I guess I won't be needing that anymore.
Look, man.
Look, I usually keep this on a need-to-know basis.
But you look like you really need to know.
Behold.
My chicktionary.
- A little black book, huh? - Oh, yes, sir.
What are these letters next to the girls' names? Oh, those are grades.
There's a lot of F's.
That ain't necessarily a bad thing, you know? - What's the B mean? - Be prepared for a possible F.
Hi, Will.
Hey, look, I'll be right back.
Oh, and G.
G.
W.
A.
B.
Means Good God What A Booty.
- What are you doing here? - I need to switch cars.
- Carlton said you have the keys.
- Cool.
What's wrong with your car? I'm going shoe shopping, I need the wagon.
Bye.
- Who is that? - Hilary? Oh, that's my cousin.
- Well, is she involved with anyone? - Mostly just herself.
Oh, you You know, she She was just telling me today how much she could really use a man in her life.
And You a man.
Oh, good.
Check it out.
I got an idea: Why don't you come over our house tonight, right.
- And I'll introduce y'all.
- Will, I really appreciate this.
A woman like her could really lift my spirits.
Maybe she could do the same for my grade.
Hey, everybody.
I just bought Nicky a brand new crib.
"The Crib Chalet has over 100 features including automatic guardrail-extension infrared climb-out sensors and a built-in busy box.
Some assembly required.
" Oh, no.
Carlton, my boy, go put on your work clothes.
Help me.
- I'm not gonna miss a minute of this.
- Here, darling.
Philip, I know what's gonna happen.
He's gonna start in on your nerves you're gonna end up at his throat.
- Oh, nonsense.
This is a perfect time for a father and son to spend some quality time together.
Geoffrey, go fetch my tools.
You mean your knife and fork? Hey, Hil, you got a second? - Sure.
- All right.
Sweet Savage Lust.
One of the classics, huh? It's about this rich, beautiful girl who loses her lover in a terrible accident and spends her nights alone mourning his death.
Where do they get these stories? Hey, look, Hil you know, Trevor's been gone for months now.
- Don't you miss dating? - Yeah.
At first, I felt guilty for wanting to.
But I think if Trevor were still alive, he'd want me to see other guys.
Exactly.
Hey, wait right here.
What are you doing? Hilary Banks.
Scott Burton.
"When a man is in love he endures more than at other times.
He submits to everything.
" Boy, don't make me have to turn the hose on y'all two.
- Will.
- Yeah? What's going on here? Well, Hil, I figured that y'all might have something in common.
I'm saying, he's an English professor and And you speak some English.
Look, Steve - Scott.
- Whatever.
- I'm really sorry - No, I'm sorry.
I was just so struck by your beauty today, I had to meet you.
I'm terrible at this kind of thing.
You're not terrible.
Shields are down, Scotty.
Fire! I know this is last minute, but an artist friend of mine gave me some tickets to a gallery opening in Venice.
- That's very nice, Scott.
But don't you think Italy is more of a second date kind of thing.
No, I mean Venice Beach.
Well, it sounds like fun.
- Do I have time to change? - Well, if you like, but "True loveliness needs not the foreign aid of ornament.
" Well, duh.
Hold up, man, there's no tag on this.
I need a price check on a Peacock athletic supporter.
Size small.
Never mind.
- Will.
- Oh, hey.
I had the best time with Hilary.
Cannot wait to see her again.
All right, man.
Oh, and by the way.
I graded your essay this morning.
The whole class did rather well, but you, my friend, got a B-plus.
Yes.
I got a B-plus.
I'm Will, call me.
I also spoke with your counselor and he's agreed to take you off academic probation provided you do well on my midterm Friday.
Hey, thanks a lot, man.
Oh, but a big midterm on Friday means you're gonna have to spend all weekend grading papers.
I'll make the test one question, open book.
Welcome to the family, man.
All right.
Hey, you know what? Allow me.
Will, you should be ashamed of yourself.
Hey, Jackie, I can explain.
Explain what? How you're using your cousin just to get yourself a good grade? Hey, look, Jackie, it ain't like that.
I know you, Will.
But I still burn with desire for you, baby.
Yo, Jackie.
I'm just looking out for number one.
You know what I'm saying? You know, you know.
I don't know who you've been talking to, Rhetta.
But, no, I don't be giving my dates grades.
I'm saying, so, so Are we gonna kick it tomorrow night or what? I don't know.
You know, do a little somethin'-somethin'.
Who knows? Are you with that? All right, I'll see you tomorrow night then.
Rhetta, B.
I heard somebody made a love connection.
So tell me about your date.
I have to admit it, Will, you were right.
I had fun last night.
Oh, well, trust me, you got dude flipping.
I like him too.
Hey, look, as long as you're going out with Professor Burton, I am A-okay.
- Then that presents a little problem.
- Why, what's up? Because I am never going to see him again.
Wait, whoa, wait, whoa, whoa.
What do you mean you're never going to see him again? You was just saying how dope he was.
He has a mole.
Hilary, wait a minute.
I sit in class with this man all day, every day, and I ain't ever seen no mole.
I hardly noticed it too.
But as the night went on, it got bigger and bigger until it was all I could see.
Oh, it was disgusting.
Hey, Hilary, wait a minute.
You can't just dump this guy because of a tiny physical imperfection.
I mean, you ain't perfect yourself, girl.
Oh, stop.
Hilary, listen.
Imperfections are what make people special.
Like in Philly, a big butt on a sister was considered a thing of beauty.
You know, the more back baby got, the better.
I mean, up to a point.
Then, it's just nasty.
But come on, Hil.
You gotta give this guy another chance.
Telephone, Miss Hilary.
A Mr.
Scott Burton.
Oh, the mole man.
Tell him I moved.
Hilary.
Oh, all right.
Hello, Spot I mean, Scott.
Yeah, I had a nice time too.
- Tomorrow night? - Yes, yes.
Sure.
Okay.
I'll see you then.
Well, I did it.
I just hope I don't get nauseous and faint.
Hey, hey, Hil, you know what? I got a date tomorrow night.
We could just double.
What's that going to do? I don't know, maybe take your mind off it.
I'll work mole patrol.
Thanks, Will, that's great.
You're the best.
I'll call Scott and tell him.
- Oh, where are we going anyway? - The opera.
Dad, we started this three days ago and there's no end in sight.
Let's pay someone to finish the job.
Am I keeping you from something more important? As a matter of fact, yes.
I've got midterms and, eventually, I'd like to move out get a full-time job and start a family.
And when you do, I will help you build one of these for your child.
You won't, because I'll be smart enough to pay someone to do it for me.
And just how are you gonna do that without a trust fund? Game, set, match.
Now, stop whining.
What's next? "Locate the red linchpin.
" Got it.
"But do not remove it.
" Will, the lobster was superb.
Yeah, they gypped us, though.
They only gave us the tails.
Hilary, I got the feeling at dinner that your attention was somewhere else.
Why would you think that? This is our box.
What is the matter with you? You are making a mountain out of a mole, Hil.
- The mole, I'm over that.
- Oh.
Well, then, what's the problem? Did you see how huge his Adam's apple is? I don't believe this.
Every time he chewed, it kept bouncing up and down and up and down.
I mean, what's in there, a basketball? I can't look at him anymore.
- I have to get out of here.
- Hilary.
Listen.
That is not a mole or an Adam's apple that you're seeing.
It's Trevor.
You're telling me that Trevor was reincarnated in Scott's throat? No, look, Hil, what I'm trying to say is that you miss Trevor so much something inside of you won't let go of him.
If you walk out on Scott now this could haunt you for the rest of your life.
- What do you mean? - Well You might never go out again.
You'll become one of them crazy old women who walk around all day long with a shower cap on with an old raggedy halter-top that say "Jam.
" And then you gonna start wearing rhinestone gauchos.
And then, just for no reason, you'll say: Then you'll be eating neckbone sandwiches all the time.
And screaming at your little imaginary dog, Brutus.
- And you know what the worst part is? - What? The only man you're gonna be able to get is some fool named Grady who be smelling like menthol all the time and falling asleep in his soup.
Oh, God, I hate soup.
Then you march through those curtains and you look his throat in the face! - Everything all right? - Oh, yeah, yeah, everything's fine.
Hey did we miss the national anthem? Some fool named Grady.
Is Hilary okay? It seems like something's bothering her.
No, no, everything's cool, man.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a turtleneck out in your car would you? We are trying to enjoy the opera.
I know, it's hard ain't it? His neck is blocking my view.
It's like watching a snake digest a rabbit.
Hilary.
Listen, it is all in your head.
It's all in his throat.
Young man.
Did you see Throw Momma From The Train? I can't stand it.
Scott is making me sick.
Thank you for a wonderful evening.
My My uncle's got her on this crazy curfew thing, man.
Hilary, listen, I am begging you.
Please go back in there and apologize to him.
It's very sweet of you to worry about me, Will.
- But I'm gonna be just fine.
- Wait, Hilary, listen.
Look, if you leave now, I might get kicked out of school.
What? Well, see, Professor Burton broke up with his wife and, you know, he was grading really difficult.
So I figured if he was happier, then just maybe So you've just been using me to get a good grade? No, not at all.
A little.
- Oh, God.
- Wait.
Hilary.
Hil Hey, look, Pavarotti, go in there and tell my date I'll be back in a minute.
Ladies and gentlemen: Le Crib Chalet.
Honey.
I owe you an apology, honey.
Not only did you do a great job, but you did it together with Carlton.
Mom, do me a favor.
Don't have anymore babies.
Hey, Dad.
Did you see this report in Consumer magazine? It says that the Crib Chalet is the most dangerous crib on the market.
What are you talking about? According to this, the crib malfunctioned and an infant was tossed 50 feet in the air.
We can beat that.
Geoffrey.
Well Well, that was just one crib.
Well, the same thing happened to twins in Nova Scotia.
Sweetheart, why don't you go read an Archie comic book or something.
Philip, the important thing is that you and your son spent quality time together.
You should be proud of what you built.
Even if it is a deathtrap.
You are just jealous because you don't have son like Carlton to build something with.
Yes, sir, that must be it.
Look: It's a bird.
It's a plane.
It's Master Nicky.
Hilary.
Tonight, I hurt somebody that I really care about.
What about me, Will? I meant you.
Thank you.
- But you were right.
- I was? Scott is the first guy since Trevor that I really liked and I guess I got scared and I had to find something wrong with him.
And that Adam's-apple thing was the best you could do, huh? Well, I never had much of an imagination.
When I was a little girl, I never had any imaginary friends.
I just used to play with Carlton's.
And, God, they were such dweebs.
You really miss Trevor, don't you? I know it sounds dumb but sometimes I feel like we're still engaged.
I mean, he died so suddenly and I never had a chance to say goodbye.
Well, it's never too late.
I gotta go study for the massacre at little big mole.
Look, Hil, I'm sorry, all right? Good night.
Good night, Will.
Goodbye, Trevor.
Will Smith studied all night and passed his English midterm.
One week later, he was taken off academic probation.
Two weeks later, he was put back on.
Professor Scott Burton began dating Rhetta.
Shortly after, her parents demanded he be removed from the college.
Hilary Banks is currently dating.
She remembers nothing.
Baby Nicky only made it to 42 feet.
And then, just for no reason, you'll say: Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
That is insane.
I don't know what he's gonna say.
