Philip: Sit down.
Lou: I ain't got time for no lecture.
Philip: I said sit down, Lou!
Philip: You know, Will was doing just fine until you showed up. But now that you're back, you have responsibilities to him.
Lou: Hey, look, we're still gonna take the trip...
Philip: Oh, bull! BULL!!! Will is not a coat that you hang in the closet, then pick it up when you're ready to wear it. His life goes on. He's not supposed to be here for you! You're supposed to be here for him!
Lou: You get off my back! You think I want this?! It just happened! Now, when Will was a baby, I was scared...
Philip: Cut the crap, alright? Cut it! 'Cause I've been there! But I didn't run out of my family. I was there everyday from them because that's what a man does.
Lou: Fine, Philip! You win. You the man. You a better man than me. You happy? Now, are you gonna tell Will or not?
Philip: I'm not gonna do your dirty work for you.
Lou: Fine. I'll call him from the road.
Philip: Yeah, why don't you do that?
Lou: Yeah, I'll do that.
Will: Daddy-o! Whazzup?
Lou: Will, man I'm glad you're here. Some business came up I gotta have, so we're gonna have to put our trip on hold. You understand, right?
Will: Yeah, yeah, that's cool.
Lou: Just for a couple weeks.
Will: Mmhm, I understand.
Lou: Maybe a little longer.
Will: Yeah, whatever, whatever.
Lou: Look, I'll call you next week and we'll iron out the details, okay?
Will: Yeah, yeah.
Lou: It was great seeing you, son.
Will: You too, Lou.
Philip: I'm sorry, Will.
Will: You know what? Actually, this works out better for me. You know, the slimmies this summer come to class wearing next to nothing, you know what I'm saying?
Philip: Will, it's all right to be angry.
Will: Hey, why should I be mad? I'm saying, at least he said good-bye this time. I just wish I hadn't wasted my money buying this stupid present!
Philip: I-I'm sorry. If there was something that I...
Will: Hey, you know what? You ain't got to do nothing, not now, Uncle Phil. You know, it ain't like I'm still 5 years old, you know? It ain't like I'm gonna 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?
Philip: Yeah, you did.
Will: 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 14 great birthdays without him! He never even sent me a damn card! To hell with him! I didn't need him then, I don't need him now.
Philip: Will...
Will: 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'ma be a better father than he ever was, and I sure as hell don't need him for that, 'cause there ain't a damn thing he could ever teach me about how to love my kids!

How come he don't want me, man?
