• [last lines] 

  Will : Give me a hug.

  Carlton Banks : What?

  Will : I said give me a hug, man. A brother get shot, he get a little emotional. Now, get over here and give me some love.

  [Carlton gives Will a hug, then Will feels something in Carlton's jacket pocket] 

  Will : What's that?

  Carlton Banks : It's a gun.

  Will : Carlton, are you out of your mind, man? You walking around carrying a gun, what do you think you're gonna do with that?

  Carlton Banks : It's for protection.

  Will : Carlton, you think it's that easy to just shoot somebody?

  Carlton Banks : I'll close my eyes.

  [Carlton flips a food tray in anger] 

  Will : I was gonna eat that, man.

  Carlton Banks : Everything's a damn joke to you.

  Will : So what, you don't think I'm mad? Huh? I've been laying up in this hospital an inch away from being paralyzed, you don't think I wanna get up out this bed and go catch that...

  Carlton Banks : It's not gonna happen again, not to me!

  Will : Carlton, I understand that you're scared, man, but the world can be a scary place. You just gotta learn to deal with it, alright?

  Carlton Banks : Yeah, well, I found my way.

  Will : That's not you, man, that's them.

  Carlton Banks : Look, I didn't come here for your approval, alright? I came here to see how you were. I'm outta here.

  Will : Carlton.

  Carlton Banks : No more hugs, Will.

  Will : I saved your life, man. I saved your life, YOU OWE ME! Now give me the gun, Carlton.

  [pause] 

  Will : Give me the gun. I saved your life, I want the gun!

  [Carlton slowly lays the gun at Will's feet, then leaves the room. Will leans forward for the gun and sees that the gun was loaded and starts crying] 

• Carlton Banks : [to his parents, Ashley, Geoffrey, Vy and Lisa after Will psyches them]  I can't believe you guys think this is some kind of joke. Don't you realize what happened? Will took a bullet for me. He saved my life.

  Will : I did? I was just trying to get the hell out the way.

  Carlton Banks : Will, stop it, I don't think it's funny.

  Will : Carlton, come on, man. We gotta have a sense of humor about this. This kind of stuff happens all the time.

  Carlton Banks : That's the problem. It happens *all* the time.

  Philip Banks : [Walks towards the door and turns to everyone else]  I'm, uh, gonna go talk to him.

  [Walks into the waiting area and past Nicky, who is with three of the nurses and towards Carlton] 

  Philip Banks : Son, where are you going?

  Carlton Banks : I don't know. I'm going for a walk.

  Philip Banks : Carlton, it's after midnight. I don't need something to happen to you.

  Carlton Banks : Well, there's nothing you can do about it. These things just happen, right?

  Philip Banks : Carlton, I know you're upset. You've been through a very traumatic experience. Now, if you just calm down, we can talk about this rationally.

  Carlton Banks : You're always in control, aren't you? Always know what to do, always know what to say. Well, you know what gets me? The police aren't even gonna find this guy. And even if they do, so what? He'll be out on the streets in six months.

  Philip Banks : That's not going to happen.

  Carlton Banks : Come on, Dad, it's happened to people you've put away.

  Philip Banks : But the legal system isn't perfect.

  Carlton Banks : Go talk to Will about our legal system! It's such a joke. People aren't even afraid of it.

  [the elevator door opens and he gets in] 

  Philip Banks : [Walks towards Carlton and stops the door from closing]  Carlton. Look, I'm frustrated too. But as a judge, I have to have faith in it no matter how much I wanna go out and knock some heads.

  [Brief pause] 

  Philip Banks : Eventually the system will come through.

  Carlton Banks : I'm all grown up, Dad. Don't tell me any more fairy tales.

  [the door closes]
