A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to sneak his way back into his life like nothing happened. Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to shoot in my life. Every emotion, every word.. that was Will”
Will was actually supposed to play it off and then walk away, and there was originally an alternate scene that was supposed to happen, but he actually completely cut out what was supposed to be said, and did all of his own dialogue. The hug at the end of this scene is completely genuine, and this was a stepping stone in Will’s career where he started to take on the “do what feels, sounds, and looks right” approach to his acting.
This has me crying.
Everyone is posting this, but holy shit does it hit close to home with me.
you really have poisoned me on new relationships. I can’t stand the thought that things are going to end up like they did with you and I. A lot of guys blame women for being untrustworthy, self-serving liars, but I can’t blame all women. Just you. Thanks a ton.
“I thought that I had kind of beaten my issues, but when you struggle with depression or anxiety or anything else, you never really win. You always carry it with you and the point, I learned, isn’t to win. The point is to keep fighting. It turned out that “I’m not sad anymore” wasn’t a victory speech. It was a battle cry.”

brought me gummy bears and root beer and watched three hours of Pawn Stars with me when I was feeling down. I hesitate to use the word love, but that’s pretty fucking close if you ask me.
You’re going to wake up alone on your couch. Sorry I couldn’t stay and sleep with you. I have responsibilities. But how I wish I was still there with you.
