But listen, you know, after I do that I think I'll be really ready for some serious responsibility.
Don't worry.
Soon you'll have more responsibility than you can handle.
All right.
Who ordered a Chinese chicken salad? How's the jury selection going? Oh, it's exhausting.
We're still four jurors short and I don't know if This isn't gonna keep you from coming to school? Well, if we don't find them, we'll just go with whatever we have.
Geoffrey, make me a sandwich.
- May I remind you, sir - No, you may not.
Just make me a sandwich.
As you wish, sir.
I don't mean to brag, but you're looking at the next junior executive at the California International Bank.
Well, they hired you on the spot, huh, son? Well, they haven't actually hired me yet, but their body language was pretty clear.
Body language? Sure.
They gave me the wink and the gun.
You know.
[CLUCKING TONGUE.]
When they give you the wink and the gun that means: "Hey, you're our man.
" [CLUCKING TONGUE.]
- Hey, hey.
What's up, guys? PHIL: Hey, Will.
How did your first day go? Oh, it was great, Uncle Phil.
Listen, after I got finished changing light bulbs and moving boxes they gave me something important to do.
I moved a big box.
Well, that's the problem with menial jobs, Will.
You're at the mercy of someone else's whims.
Now, if you'd have taken a more executive corporate-like endeavor such as myself then you'd be your own man.
Not sitting around like some puppet waiting to be beckoned.
[PHONE RINGING.]
That's them.
That's them.
Hello? No.
She's not here right now.
She'll call you tomorrow.

- Oh, no, you're not.
ASHLEY: Yes, I am.
CARLTON: Oh, no, you're not.
ASHLEY: Who put you in charge? I did.

You are not - I'll talk to you later on, Uncle Phil.
- You know, Will my first job was in a law clerk's office.
It was the summer of my freshman year in college and I thought I was [CHUCKLES.]

Anyway, I spent most of my days making coffee and copying legal documents.
And that was before Xerox machines.
Dag.
Who was your boss? Mr.
Slate? [LAUGHING.]
He was on The Flintstones.

Well, the point is one day I decided to take some initiative and make myself more important to them.
You know, it worked.
- Hm.

Heh, heh.
Don't ever touch me.

Mr.
Jackson, why do you think you'd make a good juror? Because I could always tell if someone was guilty just by looking at them.
Sir, even I can't tell by looking.
And they let you be a judge.
My brain is all clouded.
My head's all fogged up.
And I can't think straight.
And now you've got a cold on top of it.
Will, just fix it.

Carlton Banks' office.

[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Carlton Banks here.

You can't give a guy the wink and the gun and then not give him a job.
Buck up? Buck off.
Our next speaker is Ashley's brother, Mr.
Carlton Banks.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING.]
And here is where we hide our star.
Hey.
[IN NEW YORK ACCENT.]
How you doing? You must be Mr.
Stimple.
How you doing? I'm Hilary's hair designer, Diante.
Pleasure.
Oh, why didn't you tell me he had such lustrous hairs? Oh, excuse me.
I'm doing girlfriend's hair.
She is so excited to meet you.
Just later.
Well, I'd kind of like to meet her now.
Uh, Hilary, I've never seen the program.
Do you stand and interview a guest, or do you run all around like Donahue? Oh, listen.
Hilary can do it all.
You know, she can stand.
She can run.
You know, she's like Ricki Lake and Oprah and Donahue all wrapped up in one.
Around here we call her, Ricki-Oprah-hue.
Very clever word play, but I'd like to hear what Hilary has to say.
Oh, see, she like real shy.
You know, she can't really verbalize with you till she gets to know you.
You know what I mean? Of course.
Where's my head? Fred Stimple.
Stimple Rubber.
Pleasure.
Oh, no, you don't.
Honey, it took me an hour to do them nails.
You a Leo, ain't you? And in conclusion, if you follow these steps as I have outlined then I guarantee you'll be successful.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING.]
Thank you.
You still haven't told us what you do.
Well, I was previously in expeditious comestible management.
And currently, I'm overseeing a myriad of options.
Do you even have a job? Well, strictly speaking, l He's a bum just like my Uncle Eddie.
[STUDENTS LAUGHING.]
Excuse me, sir.
Are you really a bum? Back off, sister.
- You got an attitude problem.
- Damn right I've got attitude.
Just wait till you grow up.
You'll see how tough it is.
There are sharks out there and you're all little guppies waiting to be devoured.
Sure, you can lie back in your protective little womb called high school and pretend the world is your oyster.
But one day it's gonna turn on you like the rotting milk in your stinking lunchboxes.
Thank you.
You know, with a touch of henna and a kiss of ash blond you're gonna need yourself a beeper, girl.
Diante, you're a very unusual man, but I grow tired.
- [IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Who are you? - Aah! Who am I? I'm Mr.
Stimple.
Stimple Rubber.
Oh, my God.
Mr.
Stimple.
Will.
Will? I thought you were Diante? Diante? There's a good explanation for all of this.
Save it.
This has been, uh, different.
Excuse me, Mr.
Stimple.
Um, I'm sorry.
[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Mr.
Stimple.
Look, my name is not Diante.
My name is Will.
I'm Hilary's cousin.
Now look, this is all quite simple, Mr.
Stimple.
I'm sorry.
Listen.
Look, my uncle told me I should take some initiative.
I got nighttime-so-you-could-sleep instead of daytime-so-you-could-think medicine.
Man, how is she supposed to drive a tractor? So I said, "Aah!" And, you know, she said, "Aah!" You know what I'm saying? - You're Hilary's cousin? - Exactly.
This is the worst day of my life, Mr.
Stimple.
I'm so sorry.
No need to apologize.
I know all about nepotism.
I got a factory full of idiot nephews and worthless brother-in-laws.
With only one moronic cousin running around you're way ahead of the game.
[BOTH LAUGHING.]
[WILL LAUGHING.]
He said, "Moronic cousin.
" Ha, ha.
Hey.
Hold up, man.
Fine.
I understand your having to work.
I even understand you missing Career Day.
What I don't understand is how you could possibly send Carlton.
I mean, you could've sent Mom.
You could've sent Geoffrey.
You could've even sent the pool guy.
He answered the phone? I understand you taking initiative.
I even understand the tea.
But what I don't understand is how this happened? Uh, see, well, you bobbed when you should've weaved.
PHIL & WILL: Sorry.
Dinner is served.
- I'm sick.
I'm sick.
PHIL: Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on! Now, we have to do this.
Oh, sure.
Now our responsibilities kick in.
VIVIAN: Look at you.
I can't believe you're acting like this.
All I'm trying to do is look out for everybody here.
Honey, don't you wanna live longer? Don't you wanna feel better? Last one to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles ain't eating.
I understand there were other applicants.
I even understand I was too young for the job.
But what I don't understand is they gave me the wink and the gun.
They gave me the wink and the gun.
Buck up, pal.
