All language subtitles for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air - 3x24 - Six Degrees of Graduation

Daddy, can we take Nicky with us
to graduation?

No, I don't think so, sweetheart.
But maybe Geoffrey can baby-sit for him.

Of course, sir. And, no,
I wouldn't mind missing the ceremony.

Why should I be invited to such
an illustrious event after a mere 15 years...

of wiping, picking
and sucking up after you all?

Geoffrey, we would love for you to come
to graduation with us.

I'll have to check my book.

Geoffrey, you're coming.

But you know,
your mother's not feeling well and...

I don't feel right
leaving Nicky with a stranger.

I could take care of him.

Y eah, but who's going to
take care of you?

Y eah, come on, Hilary.
Plus, you can't miss the ceremony...

hard as I've worked to graduate.

Man, you know how hard it is
to take a test like this?

Guess what? I'm the class valedictorian.

What does that mean?

I believe it's Latin for
"little short midget with a square head."

Now...

what was Antonio Vivaldi
trying to tell us in this concerto?

Come on, baby, I'm saying, "Bing-bang-
bluesy, me and you in the Jacuzzi."

What's up?

Mr. Smith. The concerto?
What was Vivaldi saying?

Well, actually, Mrs. Bassin,
I'm glad you asked me that.

Vivaldi, or "Vival Dee" as it is pronounced
in some European circles...

I believe he was commenting on...

man's inhumanity toward man.

That we...

citizens of America,
the richest country on this planet...

have a moral obligation that
goes far beyond buying the...

newest car...

or purchasing the latest
Naughty By Nature CD.

If one child goes hungry...

we must feed it.

If one child shivers...

we must shelter it.

And I, for one...

believe the brother knew
what he was talking about.

Vivaldi died in 1741
before there was a United States.

But the dream is alive.

More on Vivaldi tomorrow.

Mr. Smith, may I have
a word with you, please?

- Y es, I was just...
- Mr. Smith.

Mrs. Bassin, I'm sorry,
I was acting silly today.

I'll make it up tomorrow.

Too little too late.
Will, I'm going to have to fail you.

The "F" word. Why?

Y ou missed half the semester.

What's your point?

Will, you have 10 classes to make up...

and only five before graduation.

Listen, Mrs. Bassin,
I'm telling you, I'll make up the work.

Come on, I have to graduate.

I'm sorry, but you have
no one to blame but yourself.

Listen, Mrs. Bassin...

I don't think you understand.
My Mom is flying out from...

Philly to see me graduate.

I mean, the woman that gave me life.

And if I don't graduate, she'll take it back.

Listen, I'll make up the work.

Y ou don't have time.
And besides, there's no way you could...

keep up with my accelerated class.
It's over.

Look, Mrs. Bassin, listen, come on.

This is me.

I'm sinking.
Please give me another chance. Please?

Come on.

All right, be here tomorrow at 5:00.

- Y es...
- But no promises.

Thanks a lot, Mrs. Bassin.

Wait a minute. Batman comes on at 5:00.
Can we make it at 6:30?

- I'm joking. I'm stupid.
- I know.

So, Janine, when did you first decide
you wanted to take care of children?

When I was so instructed by
the Lord of the Eighth Circle.

So, Lindsay, when did you first decide
you wanted to take care of children?

I guess, shortly after my release.

Please! What do you know
about taking care of babies?

Babies? I'm here to take care of Hilary.

Hey, did my Mom get here yet?

Geoffrey's picking her up from the airport.

Will, I've been meaning to ask you.
What do you want for graduation?

Would you all stop with
the interrogation, please?

Obviously, some of us can handle...

the pressures of graduation
better than others.

Pressure? Look, man,
I'm not feeling no pressure, okay?

Thank God you're not giving the speech.
It's an immense responsibility...

one I face with great humility.

But do I shirk it? No.
Because somehow deep down I know...

anyone else would really bite.

Gosh, Carlton, you're so confident.
I'd be too nervous to be valedictorian.

Nervous? Why?

Why? I mean to have all those people
staring at you.

I mean, people stare at me all the time,
but I'm pretty.

I guess that spandex shirt
don't got nothing to do with it, huh?

Aren't you afraid
you're going to mess up?

Not a problem.

Well, I'd be worried.

Y eah, every kid hoping you make a fool
of yourself, every parent wondering...

what you're doing up at the podium
and why you're sweating so much?

Y o, C, come on, man, you ain't got
to worry about none of that.

But I would worry about slipping off
them stack of phone books...

you going to be standing on.

Heck, you guys.

Heck!

Y ou're very, very brave.

We're so proud of you.

Oh, God, I'm short, I'm sweaty
and I can't grow chest hair.

Oh, my goodness, is that a bald spot?

Oh, there he is, my graduate!

Hey, Ma.

Y ou're my pride and joy, sweetie.
This means everything to me.

I never thought I'd live to see this day,
but here I am and there you are.

Now, smile and say, "diploma."

Look, Mom, this is just a little graduation.

I think you're making
a little too much of it.

Boy, are you crazy? I've been waiting
18 years for this moment.

Come on, Mom, you must have done
something else in all that time.

Nothing more important than this.

Apparently, you've never danced
the Achy Breaky.

Will, completing high school
was a great achievement.

Y ou've made me so happy I could cry.

Y eah, me too.

Boo!

Will, where have you been?
I haven't seen you in music class.

Y ou ain't heard? Mrs. Bassin
brought me up to her advanced class.

Y ou know, Will, you are so talented.

Y eah, and I'm pretty good at music, too,
you know?

- Don't be silly.
- Get on out of here before I do something.

Will, you made it.

Class, say hello to Will.

He'll be joining us
until the end of the semester.

Great. Another high school dropout.

Okay, now, before we start our scales...

can anyone tell me
what "pizzicato" means?

Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith? Y ou got all these...

Sure...

pizzicato, that's a...

pizza with avocado.

Get it, I said, it's a pizza...

Michael.

Pizzicato: A term indicating that
strings should be plucked, not bowed.

Well, there ain't no Santa Claus.

Another slice for you, Master William?

No thanks, G, I'm not hungry.

That's funny.
Wi// a/ways has seconds at home.

G...

I am this close to not graduating, man.

I think my music teacher
has got it out for me.

She's trying to force me
to make up 10 hours.

Come on, it ain't like I got
a future in music or nothing.

Well, I sincerely hope you graduate.

Thanks a lot, G, that means a lot to me.

Because if you're left back and I have
to wash your gym socks for another year...

I shall take my own life.

Surprise!

Look, Mom, what is this?

Y our four-days-before-graduation gift.

Look, Mom, this has got to stop.

There wouldn't happen to be
no car keys in here would there?

- No.
- Then this has got to stop, Mom.

I know, I'm getting a little carried away,
but I'm just so proud of you.

Y our graduation is very important to me.

But, Mom, it wouldn't be
if you got out more.

- I know what's going on here.
- Y ou do?

Y ou're trying to downplay graduation...

because you don't want me to feel bad
that I never got a chance to graduate.

Oh, God, my life is over.
I wish I'd never been made valedictorian.

Carlton, come on, you're going to do fine.

Now, when you're up there, just
picture someone that you really admire...

watching you with love and approval.
Go on, try it.

It's no good.
The only thing I can picture is...

someone laughing and pointing at me.

Carlton, now you stop that man,
that is not...

going to happen to you
when you give that speech.

That's going to happen to you
on your wedding night.

Okay, kids,
today we're going to choose up teams...

and play musical jeopardy.

Now, who wants to be our two captains?

Right here, Mrs. Bassin.

Nancy and Michael.

Two players left. Make your choice.

Come on, man, you got to pick me.

All right, stop your whining.

Now for the final question...

the answer is: A clef.

I know!

What is that thing
Michael Jackson had built into his chin?

Nancy.

What is the character that indicates
the pitch of a particular line on a staff?

That's right. Congratulations.

- Y es!
- Y our team wins.

- What are you looking at?
- Not much.

Look, man, we can take this out
to the monkey bars.

Any time, any place.

I'm just kidding, you're the man.

Okay, students, don't forget
to get here early tomorrow...

so you can be measured for
your costumes for the recital.

- Recital?
- That's right.

Mrs. Bassin, my sister, listen...

I appreciate everything you're trying
to do for me, but look...

I am not about the embarrass myself
in front of a group of strangers.

Mr. Smith, my brother...

you're not going to embarrass yourself
in front of a group of strangers.

That's what I said.

Y ou'll be performing
for your friends at graduation.

Are you tripping? No way.

Then you won't be able to graduate,
I'm afraid.

Then I'm afraid I'm not going to
be able to sign your yearbook!

Look, all right?
Now, I know the two of you are upset...

about me not graduating, okay?

But you'll get over it. Y ou'll have to.

All right? 'Cause I made up my mind...

and nothing either of you can say
is going to change that.

Okay? 'Cause I'm a man.

All right? With strong man emotions.

And there is no way that this man...

is going to get up on that stage
and embarrass himself at graduation.

No.

Good luck, sweetie. I'm so proud of you.

Mama's boy.

Okay, kids, I'm going to announce you.
So, take your marks.

Where are you guys going?

Come on, don't you guys want
to go out there and see...

Uncle Willie make a fool out of himself?

What's wrong?

Those are people out there.

All this time y'all thought we was
going to be performing for some Smurfs?

Okay, come on, look,
let's just pretend it's another rehearsal.

Forget it, we're not ready for the public.

How do you think I feel?

We've got our futures to think about.

Listen, I don't think you guys understand.

If we don't get out there,
I'm not going to graduate.

Y ou're breaking my heart.

And you're so cute.

And if you guys don't let me graduate,
then I might have to mess y'all up.

Show on!

Today for your listening pleasure...

let us welcome
the Little Rays of Sunshine.

That's my Jessie, the one with the braids.

That's my Will,
the one with the mustache.

Hey, Mike, can we get
a little James Brown?

I didn't hear you.
I said, "Can we get a little James Brown?"

Now, here we go.

Say, Maestro, can we get
a little walking music?

Posse out!

Thanks, Will, you got us
through a tough one.

Okay.

I guess that means
you're noticing how truly fly I am.

Speaking of flies, yours is open.

A tutu fly.

Well, Will...

- congratulations.
- Thank you.

Y ou can walk with your classmates.
I'm passing you.

- Hey, thanks a lot, Mrs. Bassin.
- Y ou're welcome.

And trust me,
I learned a valuable lesson from this.

What's that?

I ain't never having no kids.

Good luck. Come on, kids. Let's go.

Hey, Will, I caught your act.

Baby, listen, check it out, I can...

y ou know, you really surprised me.

That was the most sensitive,
the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

And nothing turns me on more
than sensitivity in a man.

Oh, girl, you don't know the half of it.

Let me tell you
I be boo-hooing during Lassie.

Before / came here today, / was afraid...

as /'m sure many of you are. /t seems
these days, there's a /ot to be afraid of.

The wor/d can be a pretty scary p/ace.

But how can one person
make a difference?

We//, /'// te// you what /'m going to do.

/'m going to take the education
/ received here...

and use it to give back
to those /ess fortunate.

Y our cousin's really deep and
he doesn't even seem nervous.

Y eah, see, check it out.
I gave him a little advice.

I told him to picture somebody
that he really admires.

And, you know, he probably picturing me.

And in c/osing...

/'d /ike to thank my teachers
and my c/assmates for four great years.

And my fami/y for their /ove and support.

And, my best friend...

someone who stuck beside me...

and kept me out of troub/e...

and maybe got me into
a /itt/e bit of it, too.

Congratu/ations.

Lisa Armstrong.

Adam Baker.

Car/ton Banks.

John Simpson.

Wi// Smith.

Now, when you're up there, just picture
someone that you really admire...

watching you with love and approval.
Go on, try it.

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm sorry.
