Welcome to the team.
"Haute Cuisine" is the top food magazine in the country,

Mom hooked it up. - We definitely want you
to, you know, tone it down.

I don't think your family is our target audience.
My family and I would like to welcome you all to our home

He was mad because I knocked his ass out at the party,

It's called retaliation.
This isn't how Connor would retaliate.
Sure, I could see him freezing Will out socially
and running his mouth, but he wouldn't plant drugs
in his backpack like some Philly beat cop.
And if y'all don't believe me, y'all can drug-test me.
I'll piss in a cup right now.
If Will is telling the truth and it wasn't Connor,
do you have any idea of who might be trying to frame him?
Turns out some people actually think less of him
after he attacked me and Connor.

Is this on? - Yes.
Hey, what up y'all? What up? What up?
Ha! What up, man?
How y'all doing? My name is Will Smith.
I was invited here by my Uncle Phil.
Some of y'all know him as Yamacraw.
Yamacraw, yeah, man.
Boy, get the hell off the stage right now.
Phil, you better get your nephew
before we drag his skinny ass out of here.
You going to drag my skinny ass--
you going to drag my skinny ass out of here?
Phil.
Put the mic down, and let's go.
Just chill. Hey, my fault, yeah.
I play too much. I'm joking. I'm joking.
Will, that's enough. Come on. Get off the stage.
All right. I'm sorry. Matter of fact, come on,
show me a little somethin'-somethin'.
[laughs]
- Huh! - Hey, not--Will, Will...
come on.
- I'm not doing it right? - Come on. Come on.
Okay, all right, all right, all right, all right.
If I'm doing it wrong, show me how it's done.
Come on, Yamacraw.
Show me what you got.
Let's see it, Yamacraw.
Yamacraw, Yamacraw,

all: Ooh, it's cold in here.
There must be some Alphas in the atmosphere.
I said, ooh, it's cold in here.

all: Ice.
[cheers and applause]
Okay, Yamacraw.
Who you with? Ice.
Now, that's the brother we've been missing.
Welcome back.
It's been in my heart, Robert. It never left.
Now, you think we can at least have that conversation?
Now, look, that nephew of yours...
- Oh. - Interesting.
Yeah.
But inspiring. What's the story?
Well, I--I'll tell you.

Despite the fireworks, it was so nice to see everybody.
Oh, so nice to just relax.

Ooh, I noticed.

and you wouldn't let me sell it.

Yes, I am loving this beautiful Black male energy.
Aunt Viv, you should have seen Uncle Phil.
He was stepping like a king. - Mm-hmm.
- My man was stepping? - Stepping, stepping.
I put it down, baby, and after a long discussion,
Reverend Lamonte agreed to support my campaign.
By support do you mean an endorsement?
Well, one step at a time.
Oh.

Last to leave the party as per usual, Joan.
Philip, well, as per usual,
I was hypnotized by Vivian's art.
Hoping she makes a comeback, because the world is ready.
- The question is, am I ready? - Hello, everyone.
- Yo, what up, G? - Hey, someone had a good time.
That's right.
Hey, Geoffrey, looking good as ever.
Joan, I'm just trying to keep up with you.
Hey, yo, Geoffrey got some game.
Speaking of game, I've got to go get ready.
Oh, well, how did it go with Henry Miles?
You know, I don't want the stupid internship anyway.
We'll talk later.
Will, your mom sent you your stuff.
It's upstairs in your room.
That's what's up. Bet.
Just in time for my game. Miss my old jawns.
You know, I think your nephew
might have helped me win this election.
See, I told you he was special.
