00:08:50,260 --> 00:08:53,181
refrigerator-shaped
gentleman over here.
176
00:08:53,201 --> 00:08:56,336
Oh, I gotta tell you, I see
a real problem with Plan B.
177
00:08:56,356 --> 00:08:59,460
- What's that?
- Tch. Watch.
178
00:09:01,428 --> 00:09:04,400
I am Professor Jeremy Mansfield
179
00:09:04,419 --> 00:09:07,594
and this is Western Philosophy.
180
00:09:08,324 --> 00:09:09,430
I'm Will Smith.
181
00:09:09,451 --> 00:09:11,642
And this is an
interesting coincidence.
182
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:20,487
Philosophy is all about
the perception of reality.
183
00:09:20,506 --> 00:09:24,594
And today's reality is...
this is a very difficult course.
184
00:09:24,615 --> 00:09:26,715
I am a very difficult man
185
00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:28,814
and I'm going to make your lives
186
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:31,766
very...difficult.
187
00:09:31,785 --> 00:09:33,692
Excuse me,
P-Professor Mansfield
188
00:09:33,713 --> 00:09:35,934
it's not too late to start
sucking up, is it?
189
00:09:36,979 --> 00:09:38,855
There'll be a paper every week
190
00:09:38,876 --> 00:09:42,040
and a pop quiz whenever
I feel like having some fun
191
00:09:42,061 --> 00:09:43,988
and I'm a fun-loving guy.
192
00:09:44,009 --> 00:09:46,018
You will have
five 20-page papers
193
00:09:46,038 --> 00:09:49,061
two midterms,
and a little cumulative final
194
00:09:49,081 --> 00:09:52,083
that I like to call
the widow-maker.
195
00:09:52,103 --> 00:09:54,070
[dramatic music]
196
00:09:56,028 --> 00:09:57,266
Thank you, padre.
197
00:09:57,286 --> 00:10:00,309
Not so quick with the hair jokes
now, are you, my friend?
198
00:10:03,128 --> 00:10:07,165
Well, work may be hard,
but I think..
199
00:10:07,186 --> 00:10:12,237
...in the long run, you'll find
this course...electrifying.
200
00:10:12,257 --> 00:10:15,371
No, no, no! No, wait.
Call my mother!
201
00:10:15,392 --> 00:10:16,528
Or else, somebody call
the governor!
202
00:10:16,548 --> 00:10:19,530
And, I ain't even supposed to be
in this class, man!
203
00:10:21,376 --> 00:10:23,395
I wanna live.
204
00:10:25,607 --> 00:10:26,652
[static]
205
00:10:28,588 --> 00:10:29,684
(Will)
'So, what I'm trying to do here'
206
00:10:29,705 --> 00:10:32,616
Mr. Hosek,
is just drop this one class.
207
00:10:39,614 --> 00:10:40,760
Okay, according to
your schedule
208
00:10:40,780 --> 00:10:42,789
I would say
it's Western Philosophy.
209
00:10:42,809 --> 00:10:44,706
Oh, yeah, how'd you know that?
210
00:10:44,726 --> 00:10:46,856
It's the only course you're
taking that actually requires
211
00:10:46,876 --> 00:10:47,972
staying awake.
212
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,949
Wait a minute,
I have a really good reason
213
00:10:51,969 --> 00:10:53,075
for wanting to
drop that class.
214
00:10:53,805 --> 00:10:55,083
Oh, yeah,
and I'm sure my wife has
215
00:10:55,103 --> 00:10:57,963
a really good reason
for cheating on me.
216
00:10:59,931 --> 00:11:01,939
Look, man,
I got problems of my own.
217
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,106
Oh, you think you got problems?
218
00:11:03,127 --> 00:11:07,022
My wife has seen more action
than Chuck Norris.
219
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:09,192
I got an office that used to be
the janitor's washroom.
220
00:11:09,213 --> 00:11:12,144
Look, here!
221
00:11:12,165 --> 00:11:14,335
I got a toilet in my closet!
222
00:11:14,355 --> 00:11:17,337
And every day I just see
my career going down it!
223
00:11:17,358 --> 00:11:19,458
Now, since registration is, uh..
224
00:11:22,298 --> 00:11:23,485
...is over, officially over
225
00:11:23,504 --> 00:11:25,441
the only way to, uh..
226
00:11:25,463 --> 00:11:27,430
...get out of a class
is to get the instructor's
227
00:11:27,450 --> 00:11:29,489
written permission.
228
00:11:29,510 --> 00:11:31,407
Here.
229
00:11:34,602 --> 00:11:38,568
What.. I have to get
Professor Mansfield's signature?
230
00:11:38,587 --> 00:11:41,508
He's not gonna sign this. Come
on there has to be another way.
231
00:11:41,529 --> 00:11:43,801
Well, actually,
there...there-there is.
232
00:11:44,531 --> 00:11:47,584
Oh, well, come on, man,
tell me, tell me.
233
00:11:47,604 --> 00:11:48,832
Make it one of your demands,
when you climb
234
00:11:48,852 --> 00:11:50,891
the bell tower with a rifle.
235
00:11:51,622 --> 00:11:52,890
[laughing]
236
00:11:59,898 --> 00:12:02,789
Nurse, I'm ready to leave
now.
237
00:12:03,033 --> 00:12:05,082
[instrumental music]
238
00:12:06,908 --> 00:12:08,957
- Hi, dad, how was court today?
- Ah, it was great.
239
00:12:08,977 --> 00:12:11,909
I got to send El Diablo
up the river.
240
00:12:11,928 --> 00:12:13,085
El Diablo, the graffiti guy?
241
00:12:13,105 --> 00:12:15,194
Yeah, he was the worst tagger
the city's ever known.
242
00:12:15,215 --> 00:12:18,278
It'll be a while before they see
his name around here again.
243
00:12:27,357 --> 00:12:29,406
Vivian.
244
00:12:29,425 --> 00:12:31,413
It's celery, I swear.
245
00:12:34,315 --> 00:12:35,370
Whoa!
246
00:12:35,390 --> 00:12:36,505
Philip,
what has gotten into you?
247
00:12:36,526 --> 00:12:38,575
Oh, the incarceration of a felon
248
00:12:39,305 --> 00:12:40,573
always gets my juices
pumping.
249
00:12:40,593 --> 00:12:41,597
- Whoo!
- Come.
250
00:12:41,618 --> 00:12:44,468
Let's go upstairs and celebrate.
251
00:12:44,489 --> 00:12:46,467
- Whoo!
- Aah!
252
00:12:46,487 --> 00:12:48,597
Honey, we have a problem.
253
00:12:48,618 --> 00:12:50,464
Hilary, your credit cards,
I mean--
254
00:12:50,483 --> 00:12:52,542
Oh, after, after.
255
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:58,588
- See?
- So what? We're wealthy.
256
00:12:58,608 --> 00:13:01,661
You should have seen me deny
that man's plea bargain.
257
00:13:01,682 --> 00:13:04,695
I was brilliant!
258
00:13:05,871 --> 00:13:08,924
[sobbing]
259
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,879
You're going upstairs,
aren't you?
260
00:13:13,976 --> 00:13:16,846
Yes, sweetheart.
Is there a problem?
261
00:13:16,866 --> 00:13:21,055
I have no one in my life
to go upstairs with anymore.
262
00:13:21,076 --> 00:13:23,186
(all)
Aw!
263
00:13:23,205 --> 00:13:24,990
Lower.
264
00:13:26,188 --> 00:13:29,039
- Honey, how about a rain check?
- Rain check?
265
00:13:29,058 --> 00:13:32,273
Vivian, I am not a car wash.
266
00:13:32,295 --> 00:13:35,368
I have needs.
267
00:13:36,098 --> 00:13:37,234
So does Hilary.
268
00:13:37,254 --> 00:13:41,301
Honey, I'm sorry,
I will stay down here with you.
269
00:13:41,321 --> 00:13:43,248
Vivian!
270
00:13:45,379 --> 00:13:48,269
I'm ready for my wax job.
271
00:13:51,607 --> 00:13:54,386
[instrumental music]
272
00:13:56,578 --> 00:14:00,666
Oh, Mr. Smith.
Such a quiet entrance.
273
00:14:00,686 --> 00:14:02,735
Where's your, your vim?
274
00:14:02,754 --> 00:14:06,822
Your verve...
your pedestrian wit?
275
00:14:07,552 --> 00:14:08,850
Look, why don't we stop wasting
each other's time.
276
00:14:09,580 --> 00:14:11,650
Why don't you just give me an F
and let me be on my way?
277
00:14:11,671 --> 00:14:12,848
Will that make you happy?
278
00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:14,846
Well, what would make me happy
is never having been here
279
00:14:14,866 --> 00:14:16,743
in the first place.
280
00:14:16,763 --> 00:14:19,776
Just get me a drop slip.
I'll make your wish a reality.
281
00:14:22,797 --> 00:14:24,856
Whoa, whoa.
282
00:14:24,878 --> 00:14:27,900
You mean all I have to do to get
out of this class is ask?
283
00:14:27,921 --> 00:14:30,893
Yeah, I don't want anybody in
here who doesn't wanna be here.
284
00:14:30,912 --> 00:14:33,184
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Man, you gonna start a stampede.
285
00:14:35,994 --> 00:14:38,986
You know, I take back everything
I said about you.
286
00:14:40,152 --> 00:14:44,169
Oh, and, um, give me a couple of
hours before you start your car.
287
00:14:44,189 --> 00:14:47,273
Psych.
Or should I say "philosp."
288
00:14:51,413 --> 00:14:55,358
One of the central questions
of philosophy..
289
00:14:55,378 --> 00:14:58,410
...is the revelation of truth.
290
00:14:58,431 --> 00:14:59,486
Enjoy.
291
00:14:59,507 --> 00:15:01,444
(Mansfield)
'Do you wanna know the truth?'
292
00:15:01,464 --> 00:15:05,480
Do you wanna know the truth?
You can't handle the truth!
293
00:15:07,388 --> 00:15:08,494
Hey, that's Jack Nicholson.
294
00:15:08,514 --> 00:15:10,441
Mr. Smith,
if you wouldn't mind, please
295
00:15:10,461 --> 00:15:12,530
would you just beam yourself
out of here.
296
00:15:12,551 --> 00:15:14,681
Oh, Captain Kirk,
now that's fly.
297
00:15:14,702 --> 00:15:15,746
No, no, no this is "The Fly."
298
00:15:15,766 --> 00:15:18,758
"Help me! Help me!"
299
00:15:18,779 --> 00:15:21,853
'Reality is,
reality changes constantly.'
300
00:15:21,872 --> 00:15:24,844
Yesterday's reality may not
necessarily be today's.
301
00:15:24,865 --> 00:15:27,746
Everybody got a pencil?
Okay, good. Hold it up.
302
00:15:27,766 --> 00:15:29,917
'Little higher. Little lower.
Perfect, right there.'
303
00:15:29,937 --> 00:15:32,889
Now break it in half.
304
00:15:32,908 --> 00:15:37,097
What a sound. From now on, we're
going to be using our minds.
305
00:15:37,827 --> 00:15:39,978
Hey, hey, hey, give me a pencil.
Give me a pencil.
306
00:15:41,997 --> 00:15:43,945
Whoa. Whoa!
307
00:15:45,111 --> 00:15:47,221
This course isn't about
taking notes.
308
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,034
This course is about
creative thinking.
309
00:15:51,054 --> 00:15:53,194
Alright, look,
conservatives, right?
310
00:15:53,215 --> 00:15:57,150
Liberals, rappers, skinheads..
311
00:15:57,172 --> 00:15:58,369
...nudists and televangelists
312
00:15:58,388 --> 00:16:00,417
they all have something
in common, you know what it is?
313
00:16:01,148 --> 00:16:03,410
Whoa, they all been on
Montel Williams.
314
00:16:07,284 --> 00:16:10,499
See, I can't hear you
because you no longer exist.
315
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,371
Oh, but you could shove me,
though, right?
316
00:16:14,516 --> 00:16:16,413
What they have in common is..
317
00:16:16,434 --> 00:16:19,426
...they all have
a distinct version..
318
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:20,602
...of the truth.
319
00:16:20,623 --> 00:16:23,646
But do we really care
what the truth is?
320
00:16:23,666 --> 00:16:25,501
No, not really.
321
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,655
We want to know,
"How come nobody loves me?"
322
00:16:27,676 --> 00:16:29,661
'"Or where's my next paycheck
coming from?"'
323
00:16:29,681 --> 00:16:33,521
"Or how come I never get any
breaks in life?"
324
00:16:33,540 --> 00:16:34,703
Alright, get some work done,
let's get on our feet.
325
00:16:34,724 --> 00:16:36,639
We need a couple of volunteers
to start with.
326
00:16:36,658 --> 00:16:39,635
Let's get some people who have
a personal philosophy
327
00:16:39,655 --> 00:16:41,760
that is rooted in,
oh, I don't know, sex.
328
00:16:41,781 --> 00:16:44,588
- Whoa.
- Okay, that's what I thought.
329
00:16:44,609 --> 00:16:45,742
Nothing kinky, we just need two.
330
00:16:45,762 --> 00:16:50,724
Denise, right? Denise and, uh,
mmm, aah, ooh, eh
331
00:16:50,744 --> 00:16:54,574
Evan. Good.
Alright, right up there.
332
00:16:54,593 --> 00:16:55,665
Now, don't be nervous.
333
00:16:55,686 --> 00:16:57,671
You're gonna engage
in a little dialectic.
334
00:16:57,691 --> 00:16:59,585
Dialectic is a ten-dollar word
335
00:16:59,605 --> 00:17:01,640
and it means "debate."
336
00:17:01,662 --> 00:17:05,642
Man! I should have never dropped
out of his class.
337
00:17:07,726 --> 00:17:10,673
[instrumental music]
338
00:17:14,854 --> 00:17:17,731
Hey, Uncle Phil.
What you doing down here?
339
00:17:17,752 --> 00:17:19,777
I'm gonna tape Carlton's
first pep rally.
340
00:17:19,797 --> 00:17:23,747
You have no idea how proud I am
that he's the peacock.
341
00:17:23,767 --> 00:17:25,692
Nope, not even a clue.
342
00:17:26,795 --> 00:17:28,730
Oh, eh, you got a little time,
though, Uncle Phil.
343
00:17:28,749 --> 00:17:30,834
- You want some grub?
- I've already eaten.
344
00:17:30,855 --> 00:17:32,890
Is that a yes or a no?
345
00:17:36,729 --> 00:17:39,706
Man, this brings back memories.
346
00:17:39,726 --> 00:17:40,749
Oh, yeah, I bet
you was in the top
347
00:17:40,769 --> 00:17:41,801
of your class at Princeton, huh?
348
00:17:41,823 --> 00:17:44,820
Oh, actually, far from it.
349
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,680
I was spinning my wheels
until I met Matthew Langford.
350
00:17:48,699 --> 00:17:49,832
Oh, who's that,
is that one of your professors?
351
00:17:49,853 --> 00:17:52,750
Oh, not one.
"The professor."
352
00:17:52,769 --> 00:17:54,744
'Man changed my life.'
353
00:17:54,764 --> 00:17:56,699
Turned a skinny lil' kid
from South Carolina
354
00:17:56,719 --> 00:17:57,852
into the man you see
before you today.
355
00:17:57,873 --> 00:18:01,733
And you know how?
He challenged me.
356
00:18:01,752 --> 00:18:03,747
To what? A pie-eating contest?
357
00:18:04,799 --> 00:18:07,005
No, to having
a fool as a nephew.
358
00:18:08,769 --> 00:18:09,812
'I have this theory.'
359
00:18:09,832 --> 00:18:11,737
I believe that
everyone in college
360
00:18:11,757 --> 00:18:13,942
has one special teacher
that..
361
00:18:13,963 --> 00:18:15,948
...that gives him
an insight, a glimpse
362
00:18:15,968 --> 00:18:18,014
into who they really are.
363
00:18:18,033 --> 00:18:20,769
You be on the lookout, Will.
364
00:18:20,790 --> 00:18:22,885
I think I found that dude
already, Uncle Phil.
365
00:18:22,906 --> 00:18:24,831
Already?
366
00:18:24,850 --> 00:18:26,945
I was in my third year
before
I found Professor Langford.
367
00:18:26,966 --> 00:18:29,974
Oh, Uncle Phil, let me tell you,
this dude is hilarious.
368
00:18:29,994 --> 00:18:31,858
I mean, he's fun, he's funny.
369
00:18:31,877 --> 00:18:33,020
He makes me think about
stuff in a way
370
00:18:33,041 --> 00:18:35,066
that, you know, I never even
looked at it before.
371
00:18:35,085 --> 00:18:38,975
- Oh.
- And I dropped his class.
372
00:18:41,001 --> 00:18:42,956
Let me guess.
373
00:18:42,976 --> 00:18:45,011
Western Philosophy, right?
374
00:18:45,031 --> 00:18:47,999
How does everybody know that?
375
00:18:48,019 --> 00:18:50,084
Because every time,
you're faced with a challenge
376
00:18:50,103 --> 00:18:51,948
you run for cover.
377
00:18:51,969 --> 00:18:54,124
Whoa, whoa, come on, now,
that is not true, Uncle Phil.
378
00:18:54,846 --> 00:18:57,012
I mean, this whole college thing
is just kind of new to me.
379
00:18:57,032 --> 00:18:59,869
Oh, bull! It's old territory.
380
00:18:59,888 --> 00:19:01,091
'I mean,
you're always going on about'
381
00:19:01,112 --> 00:19:05,002
how you wanna be out on
your own, and, and get respect.
382
00:19:05,022 --> 00:19:07,017
But you don't do anything
to earn it.
383
00:19:08,059 --> 00:19:09,162
Oh, look, I think
it's my break time.
384
00:19:09,884 --> 00:19:12,079
What the hell is wrong
with you, anyway?
385
00:19:12,100 --> 00:19:14,105
I mean, you're, you're
smart,
you're charming.
386
00:19:14,125 --> 00:19:17,132
You have gifts that other people
would kill to have.
387
00:19:17,152 --> 00:19:21,192
And what do you do? You throw it
away by taking the easy road.
388
00:19:21,914 --> 00:19:23,037
Uncle Phil, this is one class.
389
00:19:23,057 --> 00:19:25,102
No, this is not one class, Will.
390
00:19:25,122 --> 00:19:26,215
This is your life.
391
00:19:26,936 --> 00:19:29,111
It's not my life,
it's not Carlton's life
392
00:19:29,132 --> 00:19:31,959
and you only get out of it
what you put into it.
393
00:19:31,979 --> 00:19:35,046
And you are off
to one lousy start.
394
00:19:36,991 --> 00:19:38,004
But enough about me, Uncle Phil.
395
00:19:38,024 --> 00:19:39,959
Let's talk about you.
396
00:19:41,222 --> 00:19:45,051
That's exactly
what I'm talking about.
397
00:19:45,071 --> 00:19:47,117
[instrumental music]
398
00:19:49,082 --> 00:19:52,039
Today's topic of conversation is
this glass.
399
00:19:52,059 --> 00:19:56,039
Is it A, half-empty,
or B, half-full?
400
00:19:56,059 --> 00:19:58,054
Hey, Professor Mansfield,
it's an emergency
401
00:19:58,074 --> 00:19:59,177
you got to come out here.
402
00:19:59,198 --> 00:20:01,103
What's the matter, Will,
can't move those oranges
403
00:20:01,122 --> 00:20:03,057
at the off-ramp?
404
00:20:03,077 --> 00:20:04,270
Come on, Professor
Mansfield,
I'm serious.
405
00:20:04,290 --> 00:20:06,074
- You got to come out here.
- Alright, alright, alright.
406
00:20:06,094 --> 00:20:07,307
Hey, listen,
now just wax philosophically
407
00:20:08,030 --> 00:20:10,055
for a few moments by yourselves.
408
00:20:12,310 --> 00:20:15,247
Alright, Will, what is it?
What did you want me to see?
409
00:20:15,268 --> 00:20:17,103
Here it is, the new me.
410
00:20:17,122 --> 00:20:18,315
What happened to
yesterday's you?
411
00:20:18,335 --> 00:20:22,315
Well, yesterday's reality
isn't necessarily today's.
412
00:20:22,335 --> 00:20:26,105
Oh, you're mastering the lingo.
I'm impressed.
413
00:20:26,125 --> 00:20:29,132
That's good, because I-I wanna
get back in your class.
414
00:20:29,152 --> 00:20:31,097
I'm sorry, Will..
415
00:20:31,117 --> 00:20:33,212
...some other student
already took your spot.
416
00:20:41,122 --> 00:20:44,350
No, no. Hey, come on,
Professor Mansfield, please.
417
00:20:44,372 --> 00:20:47,389
You gotta do me this favor,
please.
418
00:20:47,408 --> 00:20:51,348
You come to me, my son,
asking for a favor.
419
00:20:51,369 --> 00:20:54,407
I'm gonna make you an offer
you can't refuse.
420
00:20:54,426 --> 00:20:57,323
I'm gonna let you back
in this class.
421
00:20:57,344 --> 00:21:00,312
- Thanks a lot, Godfather.
- Oh.
422
00:21:00,332 --> 00:21:02,317
Unfortunately,
the class registrar is closed
423
00:21:02,337 --> 00:21:05,274
so you won't receive any credit.
424
00:21:05,293 --> 00:21:06,386
Wait, wait, whoa. Hold on.
425
00:21:06,407 --> 00:21:08,342
Freshmen have to carry
12 credits.
426
00:21:08,362 --> 00:21:10,447
I mean, I mean, I'd have to
pick up another class
427
00:21:10,466 --> 00:21:12,431
plus do all the work
in this one.
428
00:21:12,451 --> 00:21:15,278
You gotta love the irony,
though, huh?
429
00:21:18,397 --> 00:21:22,217
- You got a deal. Alright.
- Aah! Good, take a seat.
430
00:21:22,236 --> 00:21:26,226
This looks like a lovely seat
right-right over there.
431
00:21:28,311 --> 00:21:31,258
Okay, here's another oldie
but a goodie.
432
00:21:31,278 --> 00:21:34,396
If a tree falls in the forest
and nobody's around to hear it
433
00:21:34,417 --> 00:21:35,490
does it make a sound?
434
00:21:35,509 --> 00:21:39,429
Yes, yeah, yes, it does.
435
00:21:39,450 --> 00:21:42,488
No, no, it don't.
436
00:21:42,508 --> 00:21:46,277
Well, no, well, you know, yeah,
it's a tree, it has to, yeah.
437
00:21:46,296 --> 00:21:47,299
Yeah, it, it..
438
00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:50,407
Well, how big is the tree?
439
00:21:52,572 --> 00:21:54,387
I mean, is it, is it, is it
440
00:21:54,407 --> 00:21:57,494
anywhere near a-a subway
or anything like that?
441
00:21:57,515 --> 00:22:01,536
Hold it, and how close is this
forest to the ghetto?
442
00:22:01,556 --> 00:22:03,541
'Okay, alright, alright,
how about if it landed on'
443
00:22:03,561 --> 00:22:06,608
'like, a gopher
or something like that?'
444
00:22:07,330 --> 00:22:10,618
'Hey, does the noise
that the gopher makes count?'
445
00:22:13,546 --> 00:22:16,463
Or what if it falls on
Uncle Phil and he hurt the tree?
446
00:22:22,558 --> 00:22:24,403
Will, I almost forgot, I
took
the liberty of jotting out
447
00:22:24,422 --> 00:22:25,545
a few courses
you might be interested in.
448
00:22:25,566 --> 00:22:26,669
Carlton, thank you very much,
but I already have
449
00:22:27,390 --> 00:22:30,407
my academic stuff in order.
450
00:22:42,427 --> 00:22:44,473
(Carlton)
'Good job, Will.'
