SEAN ： So, if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on Every art book ever written. Michelangelo. You know a lot about him: life's work, political aspirations, him and the Pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right? But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling…seen that. If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I ask you about war, you'd probably, uh, throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once more unto the breach, dear friends…" But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap…and watched him gasp his last breath, lookin' to you for help. I ask you about love, you'll probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable……known someone that could level you with her eyes……feelin' like God put an angel on earth just for you……who could rescue you from the depths of hell……and you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel……to have that love for her, be there forever…through anything…through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sittin' up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss……'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself.I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. I look at you.I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless kid. But you're a genius, Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you. But you presume to know everything about me, because you saw a painting of mine. You ripped my fuckin' life apart. You're an orphan, right? Do you think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been? How you feel? Who you are? Because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you? Personally, I don't give a shit about all that. Because you know what? I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some fuckin' book. Unless, you wanna talk about you…who you are. Then I 'm fasci ated. I'm in. But you don't want to do that, do you, sport? You're terrified of what you might say. SEAN ： Oh, Christ. But, Will, she's been dead two years, and that's the shit I remember. It's wonderful stuff, you know? Little things like that. Ah, but, those are the things I miss the most. The little idiosyncracies that only I knew about. That's what made her my wife. Oh, and she had the goods on me too. She knew all my little peccadilloes. People call these things imperfections. But they're not. Ah……that's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let our weird worlds. You're not perfect,
sport. And let me save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn't perfect either. But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. That's the whole deal. That's what intimacy is all about . Now, you can know everything in the world, sport, but the only way you're findin' out that one is by givin' it a shot. You certainly won't learn it from an old fucker like me. Even if I did know, I wouldn't tell a pissant like you. 尚恩 ： 所以问你艺术，你可能会提出艺术书籍中的粗浅论调，有关米开朗基罗，你知道很多，他的政治抱負、他和教皇…性 向，所有作品，对吗？但你不知道西斯汀教堂的气味，你从没站在那儿观赏过天花板，我看过。如果我问关于女人的事，你八 成会说出个人偏好的谬论，你可能上过几次床，但你说不出在女人身旁醒来很幸福的滋味。问战争，你会说莎士比亚的话"共 赴战场，亲爱的朋友"，但你从没接近过战争，从没有把好友的头抱在膝盖上，看着他吐出最后一口气。问爱情，你会引述十 四行诗，但你没看过女人的脆弱，她能以双眼击倒你，感觉上帝让天使为你下凡，她能从地狱救出你，你不解当她的天使的滋 味，拥有对她的爱，直到永远。经历这一切，经历癌症。你无法体会在医院睡两个月，因为医生一看到你就知道，会客时间的 规定对你无效。你不了解真正的失去，唯有爱别人胜于自己才能体会。我怀疑你敢那样爱人，看着你，我没看到聪明自信，我 看到被吓坏的狂妄孩子，但你是天才，没人能否认，没人能了解你的深度，但你看我的画就认定了我，你把我的人生撕裂了。 你是孩儿，对吧？你想我会知道你日子有多苦、你的感受、你是谁，是因为我看过孤离泪嗎？那简化你了吗？我不在乎，因为 你知道吗？我不能靠任何书籍认识你，除非你谈自己，谈你是谁，那我就着迷了，我愿意加入，但你不想那么做，对吗？你怕 你会被说出来的话吓到。 尚恩 ： 天哪，她去世两年了，而那是我记得的事。像那样的小事很奇妙，那是我最想念的事，这些小特点让她成为我太太。 她也知道我所有的小瑕庛，人们称之为不完美。其实不然，那才是好东西，能选择让谁进入我們的世界。你并不完美，我不吊 你胃口，你认识的女生也不完美，问题是你们是否完美地合适。亲密关系就是这么一回事，你可以知道全世界的事，但发掘的 方法就是去尝试。你不能跟我这个糟老头学，就算我知道我也不告诉你。经典电影台词中英对照

Mod f-x-square, d-x. 2
So please finish Percival for next time. 3
I know many of you had this as undergraduates, but it won't hurt to brush up.
4Thank you, Steven.
5I also put an advanced Fourier system on the
main
hallway
chalkboard.
6I'm hoping that one of you might
prove it by the end of the semester.
7Now the person to do so will not only be in my good graces...
8but also go on to fame and fortune... 9by
having
their
accomplishment
recorded and their name printed...
10in the auspicious M.I.T. Tech.
11Former
winners
include
Nobel laureates, Field's medal winners... 12
renowned astrophysicists
and lowly M.I.T. professors.
13Well, that's all.
If you have any questions...
14I'm sure that Tom has the answers.
15Hi, Will.
16- Kirsten, how you doing? - I'm all right. How are you?
17- Good.
- I didn't get on Cathy last night. 18No?
19- Why not? - I don't know.
20- Cathy! - What? 21
Why didn't you give me none of that
nasty little hoochie-woochie... 22
- you usually throw at me? - Oh, fuck you... 23
and your Irish curse, Chuckie. 24
Like I'd waste my energy spreading
my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? 25
- Go home and give it a tug yourself. - Tootsie Roll! 26 T- Toots! 27
She's missing a tooth, Will. 28
She's got skin problems. I don't- 29
Plus, it's like 5-to-2 Morgan ends up
marrying her, you know what I mean? 30
There's only so many times you can
bang your friend's future wife. 31 It's wrong. Where you going? 32
- I'm gonna take off.
- Fuck you, you're taking off. It's, like, what, 10:00? 33
No, I'm tired. 34
Irish curse? 35
She don't know.
There ain't no Irish curse.
36 Out! Stop
pressuring me back. 37
Stop crowding the plate! Which one will it be? 38
You're gonna get charged, you know that? 39
You think I'm afraid of you, you big
fuck? You're crowding the fucking plate. 40
Hey, uh, Casey's bouncing up a bar at
Harvard next week. We should go up there. 41
- What are we gonna do up there? - I don't know. 42
We'll fuck up some smart kids. Probably fit right in. 43
Ow! Fucking punk. 44
- Oh, what's up? You still tough? - Come on! 45
Come on. Come on. That's it-
46
I'd hold you forever here 47 In my arms 48
- Professor Lambeau? - Yes? 49
I'm in your Applied Theories class. We're
all up at the Math & Science building. 50
Come here. It's Saturday. 51
Unless you wanna have a drink with me tonight. 52
Maybe. We just couldn't wait until Monday to find out. 53
Find out what? 54
Who prove the theorem. 55
This is correct. Who did this? 56 - Jack? - It wasn't me. 57
- Nemesh? - N-No way. 58
- Come on, Joey, now! - Billy, McNamara's up. 59
Come on, kid! 60
- Joey, dig it out! Dig it out! - Son of a bitch! 61
Bring it down, Mac! That's how to
do it! Attaboy! Take two, Mac. 62
Hey, Morgan, who's the girl with the
striped pants? She's got a nice ass. 63
- Yeah, that's a real nice ass. - Who's the guy she's with? 64
That fucking guinea. I hate that little bitch. Will knows him. 65 Yeah, I do. Yeah, fucking
Carmine
Scarpaglia.
66
- That guy used to beat the shit out of me in kindergarten. - That guy? 67
Yeah. 68 Fuck this.
Let's get some food. 69
- Oh, what, Morgan, you're not gonna go talk to her? - Fuck her. 70
- I could go for a Whopper. - Let's go to Kelly's. 71
Morgan, I'm not going to Kelly's just
'cause you like the take-out girl. 72
- It's 15 minutes out of our way. - What the fuck are we gonna do? We can't spare 15 minutes? 73
Double burger. 74
Double burger. 75
Chuck, I had a double burger. 76
Would you shut the fuck up! I know what you ordered. I was there. 77
- So give me my fucking sandwich.
- What do you mean, your sandwich? I bought it. 78
Morgan, how much money you got on you? 79
I said I'd get change when I get the snow cone. 80
I said that when we pulled up. Give
me my sandwich and stop being a prick. 81
All right, well, give me your fucking
16 cents that you got on you now. 82
We'll put your fucking sandwich on layaway.
Here we go. Keep it right up here for ya. 83
We'll put you on a program. Every day
you come in here with your six cents. 84
- At the end of the week, you get your sandwich.
- Are you gonna be an asshole? 85
What am I, fucking sandwich welfare? I think
you should establish a good line of credit. 86
Like how you bought your couch- payment plans. 87
Remember how your mother brought in
ten dollars every day for a year. 88
She finally got her couch Rent-A-Center style. 89
- Can I have my food, please? - Here's your fucking double burger. 90 - Whoa!
- Hey, hold up, Chuck. 91
- Slow it down. - Who do we got? 92
- I don't know yet. - Hey, douche bag! 93
- Yeah, you, you skank face! 94
Shut the fuck up. 95
Why don't you lick my love stick? 96
We seen the guy 15 minutes ago. We should've
fight him then. We're eating our snacks now. 97
- Shut up, Morgan, you're going.
- I'm not going. - So don't go. 98
- I'm not going. - Fucking go, Morgan. 99
Let me tell you something. If you're not
out there in two fucking seconds, 100
when I'm done with them, you're next. 101 Carmine, it's
me,
Will.
Remember, we went
to
kindergarten
together.
102
Way down the street there's a light in his place 103
He opens the door, he's got that look on his face 104
- Fucking, let's go, man. - Step on his fucking head. 105
Get his ass on the ground.
Stop that motherfucker. 106
Motherfucker, die! 107 - Carter! - Come on! 108
Will! Will, come on! 109
Will, come on. 110
Easy, brother, easy. 111
- Hey, fellas, thanks for coming out.
- Come here! 112
Whoa! Whoa! 113 Ah. Fuck. 114
Is it just my imagination, or has my class grown considerably? 115
Well, by no stretch of my imagination... 116
do I believe you've all come here
to hear me lecture. 117
Rather, to ascertain the identity of the mystery math magician. 118
So without further adieu, come forward,
silent rogue, and receive thy prize. 119
Well, I'm sorry to disappoint my spectators, but... 120
it seems there will be no unmasking here today. 121
However, uh, my colleagues and I
have conferred, 122
and there is a problem on the board right now... 123 that took us
more than two years to prove. 124
So let this be said:
The gauntlet has been thrown down, 125
but the faculty have answered and answered with vigor. 126
When's the arraignment? 127 Next week.
128 Sorry. 129
- What are you doing? - Sorry. 130
That's people's work. You can't graffiti here. 131
- Don't you walk away from me! - Hey, fuck you! 132
Oh, you're a clever one. What's your name? 133 Oh, my God. 134 Looks right. 135
Will, how retarded do you gotta be
to get fired from that job? 136
I mean, how hard is it
to push a motherfucking broom around? 137
Mitch, you got fired
from pushing a fucking broom. 138
I got fired 'cause management was
restructuring.
139
Yeah, restructuring the amount of retards they had working for 'em. 140
Shut up. You get canned more than tuna, bitch. 141
At least I got a motherfucking job
right now, don't I? 142
- Why'd you get fired, Will? Come on. - Management
was
restructuring.
143
- My uncle could probably get you on a demo team. - Can he do that? 144
You kidding me! I asked you yesterday if I could get a job. 145
And I told you "no" yesterday. 146
- What's up, Casey? - What's up, Case? - What's up, Big Case? 147
Let's sit over here. 148
All right. Let's go.
149
Oh, this is- this is a Harvard bar, huh? 150
I thought there'd be, like, equations and shit on the wall. 151
I will take a pitcher
of the finest lager in the house. 152
Timeout. I'm gonna have to bust a little move
on them Harvard hotties down there at the bar. 153
- Work some magic. - Get some potion for us. 154 - Oh, hello. - Oh, hello. 155
- Hi. How are ya? - Fine. 156
- So, do you ladies, uh- - Come here often? 157
Do I come here? I come here a bit. 158
I'm here, you know, from time to time. 159
- Do you go to school here? - Yep. 160
- Yeah, that's it. I think I had a class with you.
- Oh, yeah. What class? 161 - History. - Maybe. 162 Yes, I think that's what it was. 163
You don't necessarily- may not remember me. You know, I like it here. 164
- It doesn't mean 'cause I go here, I'm a genius. I am very smart. - Hey. 165
- Hey, how's it going? How are ya?
- Good. How ya doing? 166 What class
did you say that was? 167 - History. - History. Yeah. 168
Just history? It must have been a survey course then.
169
- Yeah, it was. It was surveys. - Right. 170
You should check it out. It's a good
course. It'd be a good class. 171
- How'd you like that course? - You know, frankly, 172
- I found that class, you know, rather elementary. - Elementary. 173
- You know, I don't doubt that it was. - Yeah. 174 I, uh,
I remember that class. 175 It was, um-
It was just between recess and lunch. 176
Clark, why don't you go away? 177
- Why don't you relax? - Why don't you go away? 178
- I'm just having fun with my new friend.
- Are we gonna have a
problem? 179
No, no, no, no.
There's no problem here. 180
I was just hoping you might give me some insight
into
the
evolution...
181
of the market economy in the southern colonies. 182
My contention is that prior to the
Revolutionary War,
the
economic modalities-
183 especially
in the southern colonies- 184
could most aptly be characterized as... 185
- agrarian precapitalist. - Let me tell you something. 186 Of
course
that's
your
contention.
You're a first-year grad student. 187
You just got finished reading some Marxian
historian-
Pete
Garrison, probably-
188
You're gonna be convinced of that till
next month when you get to James Lemon. 189
Then you're gonna be talking about how the
economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania... 190
were entrepreneurial
and capitalist way back in 1740. 191
That's gonna last until next year. You're
gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, 192
talking about, you know, the prerevolutionary utopia... 193
and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization. 194 Well,
as a matter of fact, I won't, 195
because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of- 196 Wood
drastically
underestimates the
impact
of
social distinctions... 197
predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth. 198
You got that from Vickers' Work in Essex County. Page 98, right? 199
I read that too. Were you gonna
plagiarize the whole thing for us? 200
Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? 201
Or is that your thing? You come into
a bar. You read some obscure passage. 202
Then pretend-
pawn it off as your own. 203
As your own idea just to impress
some girls? Embarrass my friend? 204
See, the sad thing about a guy like
you is, in 50 years, 205
you're gonna start doing
some thinking on your own. 206
You're gonna come up with the fact that
there are two certainties in life. 207
One: Don't do that. 208
And two: You dropped 150 grand
on a fucking education... 209
you could've got for $1.50 in late charges at the public library. 210 Yeah, but
I will have a degree, 211
and you'll be serving my kids fries at a
drive through on our way to a skiing trip. 212
Maybe, but at least I won't be unoriginal. 213
If you have a problem with that, we could
step outside. We could figure it out. 214
No, man, there's no problem. It's cool.
215 - It's cool? - Yeah. 216 - Cool.
- Damn right, it's cool. 217
How do you like me now? 218
My boy's wicked smart. 219
I just spent three minutes in this
fucking place and run into a barney, huh? 220 There it is. 221
I was gonna close the deal, but then
Chuck- Billy insulted one of 'em- 222
The heavyset girl said I had a receding
hairline, and I was a few pounds overweight. 223
And I was, like, "Go fuck yourself. " 224
I swallowed a bug. 225 Hi.
226
- You're an idiot. - What? 227
You're an idiot. I've been sitting over there for 45 minutes... 228
waiting for you to come and talk to me. 229
But I'm tired now, and I have to go home. 230
I couldn't sit there anymore waiting for you. 231 - I'm Will. - Skylar. 232 - Skylar.
- Oh, and by the way, 233
that guy over there- Michael Bolton clone- 234
He wasn't sitting with us, so to speak. 235
- I know. I kinda got that impression. - Good. Okay. 236
Well, I've got to go.
237
Gotta get up early and waste some more
money on my overpriced education. 238
- No, I didn't mean you. - That's all right. 239
There's my number. Maybe we can
go out for coffee sometime. 240
All right, yeah. Maybe we can just get
together and eat a bunch of caramels. 241
- What do you mean? - When you think about it, 242
- it's as arbitrary as drinking coffee.
- Oh. Yeah. Okay. 243
Uh, right, then. 244
Oh, come on. You're kidding. 245 Yo! 246
- Fuck you, bitch! - Fuck you.
247
- There goes them fucking barneys right now with his skiing trip. - Hold on. 248
We should've beat that old bitch's ass. 249
Do you like apples? 250 - Yeah. - Yeah? 251
Well, I got her number! How do you like them apples? 252
We arrived tonight 253
The miles were over me 254
I turned off the light 255
So, come on, night 256
Everyone who's gone 257
Home to oblivion 258
So come home 259
So come on by
260 Come. 261
Excuse me? Is this
the Buildings and Grounds office? 262
Yeah. What can I do for you? 263
I just need the name of a student who works here. 264
- No students work for me. - Could you please check? 265
I have this guy
who works in my building. 266
- He's about this high. - Which one is your building? 267 - Two.
- Two. Building two. 268
- Look, if anything was stolen, I should know about it. - No, it's nothing like that. 269
I just need his name. 270
- I can't give you his name unless you have a complaint. - This is Professor Lambeau.
271
And this is Professor Hayes. 272 Tom, please. 273
This is important. Please. 274
Will didn't show for work today. 275
Got this job through his P.O. You can call him. 276 - P.O.?
- Yeah. Parole Officer. 277 Thank you. 278 Asshole. 279
There is a lengthy legal precedent,
Your Honor, going back to 1789, 280
whereby a defendant can claim self-defense
against an agent of the government... 281
if that act is deemed a defense against
tyranny, a defense of liberty.
282 Your Honor,
Henry Ward
Beecher,
283 -
in
Proverbs
from
the
Plymouth
Pulpit, 1887, said, quote- - 1887? 284
- Excuse me.
- This is the 20th century. 285
- He's gonna make a mockery. - I am afforded the right to speak in my own defense, sir, 286
by the Constitution of the United States. 287
- Don't tell me about the Constitution.
- This guarantees my liberty. 288 "Liberty," in
case
you've
forgotten,
is a soul's right to breathe. 289
When it cannot take a long breath,
laws are girded too tight. 290
- Without liberty, man is a syncope. - Man is a what?
291
- Ibid., Your Honor. - Son, my turn. 292
I've been sitting here for ten minutes
now looking over this rap sheet of yours. 293
I just can't believe it. June '93, assault. 294
September '93, assault. 295
Grand theft auto, February of '94. 296 Where,
apparently,
you
defended yourself
and had the case thrown out by citing... 297
"free property rights
of horse and carriage" from 1798. 298
Joke. January '95, impersonating an officer. 299
Mayhem, theft, resisting. All overturned. 300
I'm also aware that you've been
through several foster homes.
301
The state removed you from three
because of serious physical abuse. 302
You know, another judge might care,
but you hit a cop. You're going in. 303
Motion to dismiss is denied. $50,000 bail. 304 Thank you. 305 Rise. 306 - Hello? - Uh, Skylar? 307 - Yep.
- Hey, uh, it's Will. 308 - Who? - It's Will. 309
You know, the really funny, good-looking
guy you met at the bar the other night. 310
I don't recall meeting anyone who matches
that description. I think I'd remember. 311
Oh, all right, you got me. It's the ugly, obnoxious,
toothless
loser... 312 who
got
hammered
and
wouldn't
leave you alone all night. 313
Oh, Will! I remember. 314
How are you?
I was wondering if you'd call me. 315
- Yeah, look, I was wondering- - Yo, what's up, baby? 316
Hold on one second. 317
What you doing? Want some of my ass? 318
- Herve, I remember you from juvi. How you doing? - What you doing? 319 Oh, yeah, sorry about that. 320
I was wondering maybe we
could
get together sometime this week. 321
- Sit out at a cafe. Maybe have some caramels.
- Oh, that sounds wonderful. 322 - Yeah?
- Yeah, sure. Where are you? 323
Uh, well, actually,
this is just a shot in the dark, 324
but, uh, there's no chance that you're pre-law, is there? 325
- Have a seat. - Thank you. 326
Nice talking to ya. 327
What the fuck do you want? 328
I'm Gerald Lambeau. 329
Professor you told to fuck himself. 330
Well, what the fuck do you want? 331
I've spoken to the judge, and
he's agreed
to release you under my supervision. 332 - Really? - Yeah. 333
- Under two conditions. - What are those? 334
First condition is that
you meet with me every week. 335 - What for?
- Go over the proof you're working on, 336 get into
some more advanced... 337
combinatorial mathematics, 338 finite math. 339
Sounds like a real hoot. 340
And the second condition is that- 341
that you see a therapist. 342
I'm responsible to submit reports
on those meetings. 343
If you fail to meet with any of those
conditions, you will have to serve time. 344
All right. I'll do the math, but I'm not
gonna meet with any fucking therapist. 345
It's better than spending that time in jail, isn't it? 346
I read your book, and "Mike" was having
the
same
problems...
347
that "Chad," the stockbroker, was having. 348
Absolutely right. Right on the button.
Good for you, Will. 349 - Very nice. - Thank you. 350
Will, the pressures- and I'm not judging them. 351
I'm not labeling them, 352
but they are destroying your potential. 353
No more shenanigans. No more tomfoolery. No more ballyhoo. 354 You're right. God, I know. 355
You're not gonna get off that easily.
Come on, Will. A bit more. 356
- Well, I mean, I do do things, you
know? - What- What kind of things? 357
I do things that, you know, I mean, I hide from people. 358
- You hide, do you? - No, no. I mean, I like- I go places. I interact. 359
- Really? What sort of places? - Just certain clubs. 360
More. That's nice. Yes. What sort of clubs? 361
Like, uh, like Fantasy. 362
Fantasy. That's nice. A bit more. 363
It's something like when you get
in there, the music, like, owns you. 364
It's like that house music. It's like-
Bom, bom, bom 365
Bom-bom-bom
Boom, boom, boom, boom 366
- You know, you start dancing. - Boom, boom, boom. Yeah. 367 It's just- 368 Yes. 369
Do you find it hard to hide the fact that you're gay? 370
What are you talking about? What? 371
Look, buddy, two seconds ago, you were ready to give me a jump. 372
A jump? Are you-
373
I'm terribly sorry to disappoint you. 374
Hey, I don't have a problem with it.
I don't care if you putt from the rough. 375
What are you- P- Putting from the rough?
What on earth are you talking about? 376
A difficult theorem could be like a symphony. 377
It's very erotic. 378 - Wow.
- Thank you, Henry. 379 - Ah, Henry. - Hi, Gerry. 380
You know something?
I can't do this pro bono work anymore. 381
- It's just not- It's not worth it. - What happened? 382
Well, I'm going on national television next week.
383
I mean, I haven't got time to tell you, much
less talk to that raving looney in there. 384
An absolute lunatic, he is. 385 Henry. 386 Okay,
you are in your bed, Will. 387
Now, how old are you? 388 Seven. 389
What do you see? 390
Something's in my room. 391 What is it? 392
It's like a- It's a figure. It's hovering over me. 393
You are in a safe place, Will. 394 It's t-
It's touching me. 395
Where is it touching you?
396
It's touching me down there, 397
and I'm nervous. 398
You don't have to be nervous, Will. 399
We start dancing and dancing. 400
It's just beautiful, 401
'cause we can make... 402 a lot of love
before the sun goes down. 403
Skyrockets in flight 404
Afternoon delight 405
- Hey, hey, hey, afternoon delight - Jesus. 406
Skyrockets in flight Da-da-da-da 407
- I'm sorry, Rich.
- I have better things to do with my time.
408
Hey, hey, afternoon delight Come on! One dance! 409
You really hypnotized me, you know? 410
- For God's sake, Will. - What? Oh, come on. He left. You can't pin that on me. 411
- I told you to cooperate with these people. - Look... 412
- into my eyes. - Get out, Will. 413
I don't need therapy. 414
- That's enough. Get out! 415
- I called Mel Weintraub this morning to see- - Oh, what's the use? 416
What do you want to do? 417
- Well, there's someone. - Who is he? 418
He used to be my, uh- my roommate in college.
419
Trust. Very important in a relationship. 420
It's also very important in a clinical situation. 421 Why is trust
the most important thing... 422
in making a breakthrough with a client? 423
Maureen, stop the oral fixation for a moment and join us. 424 - Vinnie. - Um- 425
Because, uh- 426 Trust is, uh- Trust is life. 427
Wow. That's very deep. Thank you, Vinnie. 428 Next time,
get the notes from your brother. 429
If a patient doesn't feel safe enough trust
you, then they won't be honest
with you. 430
Then there's really no point for them being in therapy. 431
I mean, hey, if they don't trust you, you're
never gonna get them to sleep with you. 432
That should be the goal of any good
therapist. Nail 'em while they're vulnerable. 433
That's my motto. 434
Oh, good, everyone's back. Welcome back, everybody. 435
- Hello, Sean. - Hey, Gerry. 436
Um, ladies and gentlemen, we are in the presence of greatness. 437
Professor Gerald Lambeau, Field's medal winner for
combinatorial
mathematics.
438 - Hello.
- Anyone know what the Field's medal is?
439
It's a really big deal.
It's like the Nobel prize for math. 440
Except they only give it out once
every four years. It's a great thing. 441
It's an amazing honor.
Okay, everybody, that's it for today. 442
Thanks. We'll see you Monday. We'll be talking about Freud. 443
Why he did enough cocaine to kill a small horse. Thank you. 444
- How are you? - It's good to see you. 445
Good to see you. 446
- Sean, I think I got something interesting for ya. - Yeah? 447
What, you have to have blood and urine? What's up? 448
Why didn't you come
to the reunion? 449
You know, I'm- I've been busy. 450
- You were missed. - Really? 451
- So how long has it been since we've seen each other? - Before Nancy died. 452
Yeah, I'm sorry. 453
I was in Paris.
It was that damn conference. 454
I got your card. It was nice. 455
- Come here.
- Now that's a takedown. 456
Hey, what happened? Did you get leniency or what? 457
I got, uh, probation
and then counseling two days a week. 458
Joke. You're a smoothie. Come on, Morgan! Just submit! 459
Hey, Bill, just-just get off him. We're gonna miss the game. 460
- I've got a full schedule. I'm very busy. - Sean, Sean. 461
This-This boy is incredible. I've never seen anything like him. 462
What makes him so incredible, Gerry? 463 -
You
ever
heard
of
Ramanujan? - Yeah, yeah. No. 464
It's a man. He lived
over 100 years ago. He was Indian. 465
- Dots, not feathers. - Not feathers. Yeah. 466
He lived in this tiny hut somewhere in India. 467
He had no formal education. 468
- He had no access to any scientific work. - Coffee? 469
- You, sir? - Just a little. 470
But he came across this old math book, 471
and from the simple text, he was able to extrapolate theories... 472
that had baffled
mathematicians for years. 473
Yes. Continued fractions. He wrote, uh- 474
- Well, he mailed it to Hardy at Cambridge.
- Yeah, Cambridge. Yeah. 475
- And Hardy immediately recognized
the brilliance of his work... - Mm-hmm. 476
and brought him over to England,
and then they worked together for years, 477
creating some of the most exciting math theory ever done. 478
This-This Ramanujan-
479
his-his genius
was unparalleled, Sean. 480
- Well, this boy's just like that. - Hmm. 481
- But he's- he's a bit defensive. - Hmm. 482
I need someone
who can get through to him. 483 - Like me? - Yeah, like you. 484 - Why?
- Well, because you have the same kind of background. 485
- What background?
- Well, you're from the same neighborhood. 486
- He's from Southie? - Yeah. 487
Boy genius from Southie. 488
- How many shrinks you go to before me? - Five. 489
- Let me guess. Barry? Henry? Not Rick? - Yeah. Yeah. 490
- Sean, please, just meet with him once a week. - Mm-hmm. 491 Please? 492
It's a poker game with this kid. Don't let him know what you've got. 493
He probably even read your book,
if he could find it. 494
It's gonna be hard for him to find. 495 - Hi, Will. - Hi. 496
This is Sean Maguire. Will Hunting. 497 How are ya? 498
- Yeah. Let's get started. - Yeah, let's do it. 499 I'm pumped.
Let's let the healing begin.
500
- Will you excuse us? - Yeah, please, Tom. 501
You, too, Gerry. 502
Yeah, of course. 503
How are you? 504
Where you from in Southie? 505
- I like what you've done with the place. - Oh, thanks. 506
Do you buy all these books retail, 507
or do you send away for, like, a "shrink kit"
that comes with all these volumes included? 508
- Do you like books? - Yeah. 509
- Did you read any of these books? - I don't know. 510
- How about any of these books?
- Probably not. 511
What about the ones
on the top shelf? You read those? 512
- Yeah, I read those.
- Good for you. What do you think about 'em? 513
I'm not here for a fucking book report.
They're your books. Why don't you read 'em? 514
I did. I had to. 515
- Must've taken you a long time. - Yeah, it did. 516
United States of America: A Complete History, Volume I. 517
Jesus. If you wanna read a real history book, 518
read Howard Zinn's
A People's History in the United States. 519
That book'll fucking knock you on your ass. 520
Better than Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent? 521
- Do you think that's a good book?
- You fucking people baffle me. 522
You spend all your money on these fucking
fancy books. You surround yourselves with 'em. 523
- They're the wrong fucking books.
- What are the right fucking books, Will? 524
- Whatever blows your hair back.
- Yeah. Haven't got much hair left. 525
Hey, you know you'd be better shoving that cigarette up your ass. 526
- It'd probably be healthier for you.
- Yeah, I know. 527
- It really gets in the way of my yoga.
- You work out, huh? 528
- What, you lift? - Yeah.
529 - Nautilus? - No, free weights. 530
- Oh, really? Free weights, huh?
- Yeah. Yeah, big time. 531 - Yeah? - Just like that. 532
- What do you bench? - 285. What do you bench? 533
You paint that? 534
- Yeah. Do you paint? - Uh-uh. 535
- Do you sculpt? - No. 536
Do you like art? 537
- Do you like music? - This is a real piece of shit. 538
Oh, tell me what you really think. 539 Just the linear and
impressionistic mix
makes
a
very
muddled
composition. 540
It's also a Winslow Homer rip-off, except
you got whitey rowing the boat there. 541
Well, it's art, Monet. It wasn't very good. 542
- That's not really what concerns me though. - What concerns you? 543
- Just the coloring.
- You know what the real bitch of it is? 544
It's paint-by-number. 545
Is it color-by-number? Because the colors are fascinating to me. 546
- Aren't they really? - You bet. 547
I think you're about one step away
from cutting your fucking ear off. 548 - Really? - Oh, yeah. 1
Think I should move to the south of
France, change my name to "Vincent"? 549
- You ever heard the saying, "any port in a storm"? - Yeah. 550
- Yeah, maybe that means you. - In what way? 551
- Maybe you're in the middle of a storm, a big fucking storm. - Yeah, maybe. 552
The sky's falling on your head. The
waves are crashing over your little boat. 553
The oars are about to snap. 554
You just piss in your pants. You're crying for the harbor. 555
So maybe you do
what you gotta do to get out. 556
You know, maybe you became a psychologist. 557
Bingo. That's it. Let me do my job now.
You start with me. Come on.
558
- Maybe you married the wrong woman.
- Maybe you should watch your mouth! 559
Watch it right there, chief, all right? 560 Ah. 561
That's it, isn't it? 562
You married the wrong woman. 563
What happened? What, did she leave you? 564
Was she, you know- banging some other guy? 565
If you ever disrespect my wife again, I will end you. 566
I will fucking end you. 567
Got that, chief? 568 Time's up. 569 Yeah.
570
At ease, gentlemen. 571 You okay? 572
Look, I'll understand if you don't
wanna meet with him again. 573
Thursday, 4:00.
Make sure the kid's here. 574 Yeah. 575 Thanks. 576
Well, you look lovely in those glasses. 577
- Thank you very much. - They're just beautiful. 578
- Yes, I always wanted dark blue eye shadow. - Wonderful. 579
Growing up in England, you know,
I went to a very nice school. 580
You know, it was kind of progressive,
organic, do-it-yourself, private
school. 581
Then Harvard. Hopefully med school. 582
You know, I figured out, by the end, 583
my brain's gonna be worth $250,000. 584
That sounded horrible, didn't it? 585
Bring me another mai tai! 586
Yeah, that's cool. I mean, I bet your parents were happy to pay. 587
No, I was happy to pay. I inherited the money. 588
Wow. Is Harvard getting all that money? 589
No, Stanford. I'm going there in June when I graduate. 590
All right, so you just wanted to use
this sailor and then run away, huh?
591
I was gonna, you know, experiment on you for anatomy
class
first,
obviously.
592
In that case, that's fine. 593
- Hey, you wanna see my magic tricks, Skylar? - Of course. 594 All right. Promise to- 595 All right. 596
- This one's for you, Rudolph. - Wait, wait. You need my wand. 597
All right, give me a hit. Thank you. All right. 598
I'm gonna make
all these caramels disappear. 599 You ready? Ready. 600
One, two, three. 601
They're all gone.
602
That was my- It works better when I have my rabbit. 603
I don't really date, you know, that much. 604
How very unfortunate... I think for me. 605
You know what I mean? I know you've been thinking about it. 606
- Oh, no, I haven't. - Yes, you have. 607
- No, I really haven't.
- Yes, you have. You were hoping to get a good night kiss. 608
No, you know, I tell ya, I was hoping to get a good night laid. 609
But I'll settle for, like, a kiss, you know? 610
- How very noble of you. - Thank you. 611 - Mm.
- No, I was- I was hoping for a kiss.
612
Well, why don't we just get it out of the way now? 613 - Right now? - Yeah. 614 Come on. 615 I think I got some of your pickle. 616
You again, huh? 617
Come with me. 618
So what's this?
A Taster's Choice moment between guys? 619
This is really nice. You got a thing
for swans? Is this, like, a fetish? 620
Is it something, like, maybe we need to devote some time to? 621
- Thought about what you said to me the other day. About my painting. - Oh. 622
Stayed up half the night thinking about it. 623
Something occurred to me. 624
I fell into a deep, peaceful sleep
and haven't thought about you since. 625
- You know what occurred to me? - No. 626
You're just a kid. You don't have the
faintest idea what you're talking about. 627
- Why, thank you. - It's all right. 628
You've never been out of Boston. 629 Nope. 630
So if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny... 631
on every art book ever written. 632
Michelangelo?
You know a lot about him. 633 Life's
work,
political
aspirations. Him and the pope. 634
Sexual orientation. The whole works, right? 635
I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. 636
You never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling. 637 Seeing that. 638
If I ask you about women, 639
you'll probably give me a syllabus
of your personal favorites. 640
You may have even been laid a few times. 641
But you can't tell me what it feels
like to wake up next to a woman... 642
and feel truly happy.
643
You're a tough kid. 644
I ask you about war, you'd probably
throw Shakespeare at me, right? 645
"Once more into the breach, dear friends. " 646
But you've never been near one. 647
You've never held your best friend's
head in your lap... 648
and watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. 649
If I asked you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet, 650
but you've never looked at a woman
and been totally vulnerable. 651
Known someone that could level you with her eyes. 652
Feeling like God put
an angel on Earth just for you,
I doubt you've ever dared 653
who could rescue you from the depths of hell. 654
And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, 655
to have that love for her be there forever. 656
Through anything. Through cancer. 657
And you wouldn't know about sleeping
sitting up in a hospital room... 658
for two months, holding her hand, 659
because the doctors could see in your eyes... 660
that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. 661
You don't know about real loss, 662
'cause that only occurs when you love
something more than you love yourself. 663
to love anybody that much. 664
I look at you. I don't see an intelligent, confident man. 665
I see a cocky, scared shitless kid. 666
But you're a genius, Will. No one denies that. 667 No
one
could
possibly
understand the depths of you. 668
But you presume to know everything about
me because you saw a painting of mine. 669 You ripped
my fucking life apart. 670
You're an orphan, right? 671
Do you think I'd know the first thing
about how hard your life has been- 672
how you feel, who you are- 673
because I read Oliver Twist?
674
Does that encapsulate you? 675
Personally, I don't give a shit about all that, because- 676
You know what? I can't learn anything from you... 677 I can't read
in some fucking book. 678
Unless you wanna talk about you, 679
who you are. 680
And I'm fascinated. I'm in. 681
But you don't wanna do that, do you, sport? 682
You're terrified of what you might say. 683
Your move, chief. 684
Hello? Hello? 685 Hello?
686
Professor Valenti, are you calling me again? 687 Freak. 688 - Oh, God.
- Christ, who did you call? 689
- No one. I forgot the number. - You fucking retarded? 690
You went all the way out there in the
rain, and you didn't bring the number. 691
No, it was your mother's 900 number.
I just ran out of quarters. 692
Why don't we get off on mothers? I just got off yours. 693
That's pretty funny, Morgan. 694
That's a fucking nickel, bitch. 695
- Keep antagonizing me. Watch what happens.
- All right, then, Morgan. 696
- Watch what happens.
- All right, then, Morgan. 697
Keep fucking with me. 698 No smoking. 699
What do you mean, he didn't talk?
You were in there for an hour. 700
He just sat there counting the seconds
until the session was over. 701
- Pretty impressive, actually. - Why would he do that? 702
To prove to me he doesn't have to talk to me if he doesn't want to. 703
What is this? Some kind of staring contest
between two kids from the old neighborhood? 704 Yeah, it is, and I can't talk first. 705 We know your theory, Alexander, but the boy's found
a
simple
geometrical picture.
706
- A tree structure won't work. - Look now. He's joining the two vertices. 707
But I can do the sum. 708
- It's how you group the terms, Alexander. - But, Gerry. 709
If we do the whole thing this way, then- 710
Hey, look, look. 711
I wrote it down. It's simpler this way. 712
Sometimes people get lucky. 713
You're a brilliant man. 714 You know,
I was on this plane once, 715
and I'm sitting there, and... 716
the captain gets on,
he does his whole, you know, 717
"we'll be cruising at 35,000 feet,"
but then he puts the mike
down. 718
- He forgets to turn it off. - Mm-hmm. 719
So he turns to the copilot. He's, like, 720
"You know, all I could use right now is
a fucking blow job and a cup of coffee. " 721
So the stewardess fucking goes bombing
up from the back of the plane... 722 to tell him
the microphone's still on. 723
This guy in the back of the plane's like,
"Hey, hon, don't forget the coffee. " 724
You ever been on a plane? 725
No, but it's a fucking joke. It works
better if I tell it in the first person. 726
Yeah, it does. 727
I have been laid, you know? 728
Really? Good for you. 729
- Big time, big time. - Big time, huh? 730
I went on a date last week. 731
- How'd it go? - It was good. 732
- Going out again? - I don't know. 733 - Why not? - Haven't called her. 734
- Christ, you're an amateur. - I know what I'm doing. 735
Yeah. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing. 736
Yeah, but this girl was, like, you know, beautiful. 737
She's smart. She's fun. She's different
from most of the girls I've been with. 738
- So call her up, Romeo.
- Why, so I can realize she's not that smart. 739
That she's fucking boring? You know, I mean, you don't- 740
This girl's, like, fucking perfect right now. I don't wanna ruin that. 741
Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't wanna ruin that. 742
But I think that's a super philosophy, Will. 743
That way, you can go through your entire life
without ever having to really know anybody. 744
My wife used to fart when she was nervous. 745
She had all sorts
of wonderful idiosyncrasies. 746
You know, she used to fart in her sleep. 747
Just thought I'd share that with you. 748
One night it was so loud, it woke the dog up. 749
She woke up and gone, like, "Was that you?" 750
I said, "Yeah. " I didn't have the heart to tell her. Oh, God. 751
- She woke herself up? - Yes. 752
Oh, Christ. But, Will, she's been dead
two years and that's the shit I remember. 753
It's wonderful stuff, you know? Little things like that. 754
Yeah, but those are the things I miss the most. 755
Those little idiosyncrasies that only I knew about. 756
That's what made her my wife. 757
Boy, and she had the goods on me too. She knew
all
my
little
peccadillos.
758
People call these things "imperfections," but they're not. 759
That's the good stuff. 760
And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds. 761
You're not perfect, sport. 762
And let me save you the suspense. 763
This girl you met, she isn't perfect either. 764
But the question is whether or not
you're perfect for each other. 765
That's the whole deal.
That's what intimacy is all about. 766
Now you can know
everything in the world, sport, 767
but the only way you're finding out
that one is by giving it a shot. 768
You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me.
769
Even if I did know,
I wouldn't tell a pissant like you. 770
Yeah, why not? 771
You told me every other fucking thing. Jesus Christ. 772
Fucking talk more than any shrink
I ever seen in my life. 773
I teach the shit.
I didn't say I knew how to do it. 774 Yeah. 775
You ever think
about getting remarried? 776
My wife's dead. 777
- Hence the word "remarried. " - She's dead. 778
Yeah, well, I think
that's a super philosophy, Sean. 779
I mean, that way, you can actually
go through the rest of your life... 780
without ever really knowing anybody. 781 Time's up. 782 Hold it open. 783 - Okay. - Thanks. 784
I am happy with you 785
I know I'm about to love you 786
Yeah, yeah, yeah You know him 787
Oh, my, you made me- 788
"G" minor seventh. Saddest of all chords. 789 - Hello. - Hey. 790
- Where have you been? - I'm sorry. I've
been, like- I've been really busy, and-
791 - But, um- - Mmm. Me too. 792 Yeah. I-
I thought you'd call. 793 Yeah, um- 794
- I mean, we had a really good time.
- I had a really good time too. 795
I mean, I just- I- 796
I'm sorry, you know. I blew it. 797
No. No, I mean, you know, it's all right. 798
Yeah, um, so, I was wondering if, uh, 799
if, you know, you'd give me another crack at it. 800
You know, let me take you out again. 801 - I can't. - All right.
802
Oh, no, I didn't- I didn't mean I can't, like, ever. 803
I just can't right now. 804
I've got to assign the proton
spectrum
for
"ebogamine. "
805
All that sounds really, really interesting.
It's actually fantastically boring. 806
- All right, um-
- Maybe some other time. 807
- Like tomorrow? - Um, yeah, all right. 808 - Okay. - Okay. 809 - Bye. - Bye. 810
What are you doing here? 811
I couldn't wait till tomorrow. 812
Where the fuck did you get this? 813
I had to sleep
with someone in your class. 814
Oh, I hope it was someone with the
open-toed sandals and the really bad breath. 815
- Come on. Let's go have some fun.
- No, I've got to learn this. 816
Well, you're not going into surgery tomorrow, are you? 817 - No. - Let's go. 818 Oh, my God! My dog is winning! 819
Come on, Misty! 820
Come on! Run! Look at that! Come on! 821
Look, there he goes. Misty, run! Come on! 822 - We won. - He totally won. 823
So did you grow up around here then?
824
Not far. South Boston. 825
Still glowing from my win. 826 Look at you. You're so happy. 827
And what was that like then? 828
It was normal, I guess. Nothing special. 829
Do you got lots of brothers and sisters? 830
- Do I have a lot of brothers and sisters? - That's what I said. 831
- Well, Irish Catholic, what do you think?
- Right. That's right. 832
- How many?
- You wouldn't believe me if I told you. 833
- Why? Go on. What? Five? - No. 834
Seven? Eight?
How many? 835
- I have 12 big brothers. - You do not! 836
No, I swear to God. I swear to God.
I'm lucky 13 right here. 837
Do you know all their names? 838 Do I- Yeah, they're my brothers. 839
What are they called? 840
Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey,
Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny and Brian. 841 Say it again. 842
Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey,
Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny and Brian. 843 And Willy. 844 - Willy? - Yeah.
845 - Will. - Wow. 846
- Do you still see all of them? - Yeah, well, they all live in Southie. 847
- I'm living with three of 'em right now. - Oh, yeah? 848 - Yeah.
- I'd like to meet them. 849
Yeah, we'll do that. 850
Oh, you know,
I read your book last night. 851
Oh, so you're the one. 852
Do you still, uh-
Do you still counsel veterans? 853 No, I don't. 854 - Why not?
- Well, I gave it up when my wife got sick. 855
You ever wonder what your life would be
like if you, uh, if you never met
your wife? 856
What? Wonder if I'd be better off without her? 857
- No, no, no, I'm not saying, like, better off. - No. 858
- I didn't mean it like that. - It's all right. It's an important question. 859
'Cause you'll have bad times, but that'll always wake you up... 860
to the good stuff
you weren't paying attention to. 861
And you don't regret meeting your wife? 862
Why? 'Cause the pain I feel now? 863
Oh, I got regrets, Will, but I don't
regret a single day I spent with her. 864
So when did you know, like, that she was the one for you? 865
October 21, 1975. 866
Jesus Christ.
You know the fucking day? 867
Oh, yeah, 'cause it was game six of the
World Series, biggest game in Red Sox history. 868 - Yeah, sure.
- My friends and I had slept out all night to get tickets. 869
- You got tickets?
- Yep. Day of the game I was sitting in a bar, 870
waiting for the game to start and in walks this girl. 871
It was an amazing game though. You know,
bottom of the eighth, Carbo ties it up. 872 It was 6-6. It went to 12. 873
Bottom of the 12th, in stepped Carlton Fisk, old Pudge. 874
Steps up to the plate.
You know, he's got that weird stance.
875
- Yeah, yeah. - And then- Boom! He clocks it, you know. 876 High fly ball
down the left field line! 877
35,000 people on their feet, yelling at the ball. 878
But that's nothing, 'cause Fisk, he's waving at the ball like a madman. 879
- Yeah, I've seen that. - "Get over! Get over! 880 - Right. - Get over!" 881
Then it hits the foul pole. He goes ape-shit, and 35,000 fans- 882
They charge the field, you know. 883
Yeah, and he's fucking blowing people outta the way. 884
"Get outta the way! Get outta the way!" 885
I can't fucking believe you had tickets to that fucking game! 886
- Did you rush the field? - No, I didn't rush the fucking field. I wasn't there. 887 - What?
- No, I was in a bar, having a drink with my future wife. 888
You missed Pudge Fisk's home run to have a
fucking drink with some lady you never met? 889
Yeah, but you should have seen her. She was a stunner. 890
- I don't care if-
- Oh, no, no, she lit up the room. 891
- I don't care if Helen of Troy walks into the room. - Oh, Helen of Troy! 892
That's game six! Oh, my God, and who were these friends of yours? 893
- They let you get away with that? - They had to. 894
- What did you say to 'em? - I just slid my ticket across the table. 895
I said, "Sorry, guys. I gotta see about a girl. " 896
- "I gotta go see about a girl"? - Yes! 897
That's what you said?
They let you get away with that? 898
Oh, yeah. They saw it in my eyes that I meant it. 899
- You're kidding me?
- No, I'm not kidding you, Will. 900
That's why I'm not talking right now about
some girl I saw at a bar 20 years ago... 901
and how I always regretted not going over and talking to her. 902
I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. 903
I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick,
916
927
904
and I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. 905
And I sure as hell don't regret missing a damn game. 906
That's regret. 907 Wow! 908
Would have been nice to catch that game though. 909
I didn't know Pudge was gonna hit a home run. 910
You know, I'm very, very useful on the court. 911
I'm extremely tall. 912
- You're not that tall. - I dunk. 913
Will I ever play in the N.B.A.? 914
"It is decidedly so. " Hmph. 915
Why do we always stay here?
'Cause it's nicer than my place. 917
Yes, but I've never seen your place. 918 I know. 919
When am I gonna meet your friends and your brothers? 920
Well, they don't really come down here that much. 921
I think I can make it to South Boston. 922
It's kind of a hike. 923
Is it me you're hiding from them or the other way around? 924
- All right, we'll go. - When? 925 I don't know.
We'll go sometime next week. 926
What if I said I would not sleep with you
again until you let me meet your friends?
I'd say it's, like, 4:30 in the morning.
They're probably up. 928 Oh, my God. Men are shameless. 929
If you're not thinking with your wiener,
then you're acting directly on its behalf. 930
You bet. And on behalf of my wiener,
can I get an advance payment? 931
I don't know. Let's ask. "Outlook does not look good. " 932
- What? - Fuck the- Hey, Chuck.
No. Nothing. Go back to sleep. 933
"Outlook"? That's the same thing that
told you you was gonna play in the N.B.A. 934
Exactly, so look out. You'd better
start buying some season tickets. 935
Mmm! I plan to. I'm tall. I like wearing shorts.
Did I ever tell ya what 936
Hook, hook. Dunk, dunk. 937
- You're not that tall. - Yes, I am. 938
Maybe I'm all about three points. 939
I'm all about home runs. 940
Stop mixing your sporting metaphors. 941
A leprechaun's got his dick in the monkey's ass. 942
Morgan comes running in, going,
"I don't mind it. I don't mind-" 943
Well, I can't believe you brought Skylar here
when we're fucking all bombed and drinking. 944
I know, Morgan. It's a real rarity we'd be all drinking. 945
My uncle Marty drinks. He'll go on a bender for six, eight months. 946
happened to him when he was driving up there and got pulled over? 947
- I told you guys, right? - Marty, yeah. 948
Let me tell ya what happened to my uncle
Marty, because you oughta know this. 949
He's always telling stories. Every time
we come here he's got another story. 950
But we all heard this one. Go ahead. Say it anyway. 951
I will go ahead. Thanks a lot. Guess I have the floor now. 952
My uncle Marty's driving home, right? 953
Bombed out of his tree, right? Just
hammered out of his gourd. Just wrecked. 954
This state trooper sees him, pulls him
over. So my uncle's fucked basically.
955
Got him out of the car, trying to make him walk the line. 956
He gets out of the car, pukes, and the
statie's pretty sure he's over the legal limit. 957
So he's about to throw the cuffs on him and put him in jail. 958
All of a sudden, 50 yards down the road,
there's this huge fucking boom. 959
- Statie gets real spooked. He turns around- - He got shot? 960
No. So- So- You heard this story before. 961
Yeah, Morgan, stop. Stop. 962
Some other guy's car had hit a tree.
There was an accident. 963 Anyway- 964
- How could he hear-
- Shut the fuck up! 965
- You're driving him nuts. - I'm gonna break your neck. Shut up! 966
He told you the story once before. 967
So he tells my uncle, "Stay here. Don't move. " 968
Statie goes running down the road
to deal with the other accident. 969
After a few minutes of just lying in his own piss and vomit, 970
my uncle starts wondering what he's doing there. 971
Gets up, gets in his car and just drives home. 972
The next morning
my uncle's just passed out. 973
He hears this knocking at the door. 974
So he goes downstairs, pulls the door open- "What?"
975
It's the state trooper that pulled him over. 976 Statie says,
"Fuck you mean, 'What?' 977
You know what. I pulled you over
last night is what, and you took off. " 978
He's like, "I never seen you before in my life. 979
I've been home all night with my kids.
I don't know who the fuck you are. " 980
He's like, "You know who I am. Let me get in your garage. " 981
My uncle's like, "What?" He said, "You
heard me. Let me get in your garage. " 982
He was like, "All right. Fine. " Takes
him out to the garage, opens the door. 983
And there's- The statie's police cruiser is in my uncle's garage.
984
He was so fucking- 985
He was so fucking hammered he drove the wrong car home. 986
The best part about it is, the fucking state trooper... 987
was so embarrassed he didn't do anything. 988
He'd been driving around all night in my
uncle's Chevelle, looking for the house. 989
All right, Chuck, what the fuck is the point of your story? 990
He got away. That's the point. 991
- Well, question- - Come on. Stop. 992
- I'm trying to clarify something. - You're embarrassing him. 993
- It doesn't make any sense. - It does make sense, 994
if you listen to the story and quit asking questions.
995
Well, let's see if you can get this one.
I've got a little story for you. 996
All right, there's an old couple in bed, Mary and Paddie. 997
They wake up on the morning of their 50th anniversary. 998
Mary looks over and gazes adoringly at Paddie. 999 She's like,
"Oh, Jesus, Paddie. 1000
You're such a good-looking feller. I love ya. 1001
I want to give ya a little present. 1002 Anything your
little
heart
desires,
I'm going to give it to ya. 1003
What would ya like?" 1004
Paddie's like, "Oh, gee, Mary. That's a very sweet offer. 1005
Now, in 50 years, there's one
thing
that's been missing, 1006
and, uh, I would like you to give me a blow job. 1007
I would like for it. " Mary's like, "All right. " 1008
She takes her teeth out, puts 'em in
the glass. She gives him a blow job. 1009 Afterwards, Paddie's
like,
"Yeah, geez,
now that's what I've been missing. 1010
That was the most beautiful, earth-shattering thing ever! 1011
Beautiful, Mary! I love ya! 1012
Is there anything that I can do for you?" 1013
Mary looks up to him and she goes,
"Give us a kiss. " 1014 - Oh!
- Oh, my God!
1015 - That's filthy.
- It's not that filthy. I've heard filthy. 1016
- Get off of me!
- All right. See you guys later. 1017 All right. Take it easy, Bill. 1018 So, Skylar,
thanks for coming by. 1019
Changed my opinion of Harvard people. 1020
You don't want to rush to judgment on
that one, 'cause they're not all like me. 1021 Oh. I'm sure.
It was nice to meet ya. 1022 - Oh.
- Take it easy. Slowly back away. 1023
- Oh, come on. Brother. - I don't know what you're doing, dude. 1024
- You're giving us a ride. - What the fuck do I look like to
you? 1034
1025
- Come on, Chuck.
- You're walking, bitch. Will's taking the car. 1026
All right, thanks, sucker. I appreciate it. 1027
I don't know what you're getting all serious about. 1028
- You're dropping me off first. - It's really out of the way. 1029
Oh, okay. Just 'cause you don't have to
sleep in your one-room palace tonight... 1030 don't start
thinking you're bad. 1031
Hey, wait a minute. You said we were gonna see your place. 1032 - Not tonight.
- Oh, no, not tonight. Not any other night. 1033
He knows once you see that shit-hole
he's getting dropped like a bad habit.
But I wanted to meet your brothers. 1035
We're gonna do that another time. 1036 All right. 1037
Need them keys. 1038
The stewardess hears this and goes hauling ass down the aisle. 1039 I yell,
"Don't forget the coffee. " 1040 No shit!
You didn't say that. 1041
For Christ's sake, Marty, it's a joke. 1042
- I know someone that actually happened to, Marty. - A joke. 1043 - Gerry. - Hi. 1044
- Have trouble finding the place?
- No, I took a cab.
1045
Timmy, this is Gerry. We went to college together. 1046
How you doing? Nice to meet ya. 1047
- Pleased to meet you. - Can I get you a beer? 1048
Um, no, just a Perrier. 1049
That's French for club soda. 1050
- Club soda, yeah.
- Couple of sandwiches too. 1051 - Sure.
- Put it on my tab. 1052
You ever planning on paying your tab? 1053
Yeah, chief, got the winning lottery ticket right here. 1054
- What's the jackpot? - Twelve million. 1055
- I don't think that'll cover it. - It'll cover your sex change operation.
1056 - Nuts? - No, thank you. 1057
So, you wanted to talk about Will. 1058
- Well, it seems to be going well. - I think so. 1059
Have you talked to him at all about his future? 1060
No, we haven't gotten into that yet.
We're still banging away at the past. 1061
Maybe you should. My phone's been
ringing off the hook with job offers. 1062 - What kind?
- Cutting edge mathematics, think tanks. 1063
The kind of place where a mind like Will's is given free rein. 1064
That's great that there are offers, but
I don't really think he's ready for that.
1065 I'm not sure
you understand, Sean. 1066
- What don't I understand? - Here you go, guys. 1067
- Thanks, Tim. - Yeah, thank you. 1068
Just so you don't get sticky fingers. 1069
Tim, can you help us? 1070
We're trying to settle a bet. 1071 Uh-oh. 1072
- Ever heard of Jonas Salk? - Sure. Cured polio. 1073
- Ever heard of Albert Einstein? - Hey. 1074
How about Gerald Lambeau? Ever heard of him? 1075 - No.
- Thank you, Tim. 1076
- So who won the bet? - I did.
1077
This isn't about me, Sean. 1078
I'm nothing compared to this young man. 1079
You ever hear of Gerald Lambeau? 1080
In 1905 there were hundreds of professors
renown for their study of the universe. 1081
But it was a 26-year-old Swiss patent clerk, 1082
doing physics in his spare time, who changed the world. 1083
Can you imagine if Einstein would have given that up... 1084
just to get drunk with his buddies
in Vienna every night. 1085
We all would have lost something. 1086
Tim would never have heard of him. 1087
- Pretty dramatic, Gerry. - No, it isn't, Sean. 1088
This boy has that gift. 1089
He just doesn't got the direction,
but we can give that to him. 1090
Hey, Gerry, in the 1960s, there was a young
man graduated from University of Michigan. 1091
Did some brilliant work in mathematics. 1092 Specifically,
bounded harmonic functions. 1093
Then he went on to Berkeley. He was
assistant professor. Showed amazing potential. 1094
Then he moved to Montana, and
he blew the competition away. 1095
- Yeah, so who was he? - Ted Kaczynski. 1096
Haven't heard of him. 1097
- Hey, Timmy! - Yo! 1098
- Who's Ted Kaczynski? - Unabomber. 1099 That's exactly what I'm talking about. 1100
- We gotta give this kid direction. - Yeah- 1101
He can contribute to the world, and we can help him do that. 1102
Direction's one thing. Manipulation's another. 1103 - Sean-
- We have to let him find- 1104
I'm not sitting at home every night
twisting my mustache and hatching a plan... 1105
to ruin this boy's life! 1106 I
was
doing
advanced
mathematics when I was 18, 1107
and it still took me over 20
years to do
something worthy of a Field's medal. 1108
Maybe he doesn't want what you want. 1109
There's more to life
than a fucking Field's medal. 1110
This is too important, Sean, and it's above personal rivalry. 1111
Wait a minute.
Let's talk about the boy. 1112
Why don't we give him time to figure out what he wants? 1113
That's a wonderful theory, Sean.
It worked wonders for you, didn't it? 1114 Yeah, it did,
you arrogant fucking prick! 1115
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I came here today. 1116
I came here out of courtesy. I wanted to keep you in the loop. 1117
Nice to be in the loop. 1118
The boy's in a meeting right now
I set up for him over at McNeil. 1119
Well, Will, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. 1120
We've already offered you a position. 1121
Nobody in this town works without a retainer, guys. 1122 You
think
you
can
find
somebody
who does, you have my blessing. 1123
But I think we all know that person is
not gonna represent you as well as I can. 1124 Will, our offer is $84,000 a year. 1125 Retainer! Retainer. 1126
You want us to give you cash right now? 1127
Whoa-ho-ho. Easy- Now, I didn't say that. 1128 Allegedly,
your situation, for you, 1129
would be concurrently improved if I had... 1130
$200 in my back pocket right now. 1131
I don't think I can- Larry? 1132 - I've got $73.
- Will you take a check? 1133
Let me tell you something. You're suspect. 1134
Yeah, you. I don't know what your reputation is in this town, 1135
but after the shit you tried to pull today, 1136 you can bet
I'll be looking into you. 1137
Now, any business we have heretofore, 1138
you can speak with
my aforementioned attorney. 1139
Good day, gentlemen. 1140
And until that day comes, keep your
ear
to
the
grindstone.
1141
- How's it going? - Fine. 1142 Yeah. 1143 Good. 1144
- Want some help? - No! 1145
- Come on. Give me one little peek, and we'll go to the batting cages. - No. 1146
It is actually important that I learn this. 1147
- It's really important... to me, okay? - All right. 1148
- Why don't we just hang out here all day? - Yes, why don't we?
1149
All right, Mr. Nosey Parker. 1150
Seeing as you're intent on breaking my balls, 1151
- let me ask you a question. - All right. 1152 Do you have
a photographic memory? 1153
I don't know. I just kind of remember. I
mean, how do you remember your phone number? 1154 You just do. 1155
- Have you studied organic chemistry? - A little bit. 1156
- Oh, just for fun? - Yeah, for kicks. 1157
Yeah, it's so much fun studying organic chemistry. 1158
Are you mad? 1159
Have you completely lost your mind?
1160
Nobody studies it for fun. It's not a necessity, especially
for
someone like you.
1161
- Someone like me? - Yeah. 1162
Someone who divides their time, fairly
evenly, between batting cages and bars. 1163
- I would hardly say it was a necessity. - Oh. 1164
You know, there are very smart people here at Harvard. 1165
Even they have to study, because this is really hard. 1166
And yet... you do it
so easily. I don't understand. 1167
I don't understand how your mind works. 1168
- Did you play the piano? - I want to talk about this. 1169
No, I'm trying to explain it to
you.
Do you play the piano? 1170 - Yeah, a bit.
- So when you look at a piano, you see Mozart. 1171
- I see "Chopsticks. "
- All right, well, Beethoven, okay? 1172
He looked at a piano, and it just
made sense to him. He could just play. 1173
- So what are you saying? You play the piano? - Not a lick. 1174
I look at a piano, I see a bunch of
keys, three pedals and a box of wood. 1175
But Beethoven, Mozart- They saw it. They could just play. 1176
I couldn't paint you a picture. I probably can't hit the ball out of Fenway. 1177
- And I can't play the piano. - But you
can do my O- chem paper in
under an hour. 1178
Right. Well, I mean, when it came to
stuff like that, I could always just play. 1179
That's the best I can explain it. 1180
- Come here. I have to tell you something. - Huh? 1181
- I have to tell you something. - Oh. 1182 Well 1183 - It's not fair.
- What's not fair? What? 1184
I've been here for four years, 1185
and I've only just found you. 1186
Well, you found me. 1187
- Are you awake? - No. 1188 Yes, you are.
1189 Will, come to California with me. 1190 What? 1191
I want you to come to California with me. 1192
- You sure about that? - Oh, yeah. 1193
Yeah, but how do you know? 1194 I don't know. I just know. 1195
Yeah, but how do you know? 1196
I know because I feel it. 1197
- Because that's a really serious thing you're saying. - I know. 1198
You could be in California next week... 1199
and you might find out something about me you don't like. 1200
Maybe you wish
you hadn't said that, 1201
but you know it's such a serious thing you can't take it back. 1202
Now I'm stuck in California with someone
that doesn't really want to be with me, 1203
- just wish they had a take-back.
- A what? What's a take-back? 1204
I don't want a take-back. I just want
you to come to California with me. 1205
Well, I can't go to California with you, so- 1206 Why not? 1207
Well, one, because I got a job here. 1208 And, two,
because I live here. 1209
Look, um, if you don't love me, you should just tell me. 1210
I'm not saying I don't love you. 1211
Then why? Why won't you come?
What are you so scared of? 1212
What am I so scared of? 1213
Well, what aren't you scared of? 1214
You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you- 1215
Don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world. 1216
You just want to have your little fling
with the guy from the other side of town. 1217
Then you're gonna go off to Stanford.
You're gonna marry some rich prick... 1218
who your parents will approve of... 1219
and just sit around with the other trust fund babies... 1220
and talk about how you went slumming, too, once. 1221
Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? 1222
My father died when I was 13, and I inherited this money. 1223
You don't think every day I wake up,
and I wish I could give it back. 1224
That I would give it back in a second if
it meant I could have one more day with him. 1225
But I can't, and that's my life, and I deal with it. 1226
So don't put your shit on me when you're the one that's afraid. 1227
I'm afraid? What am I afraid of? What the fuck am I afraid of? 1228
You're afraid of me. You're afraid
that I won't love you back. 1229
You know what? I'm afraid too.
1230
But fuck it, I want to give it a shot.
At least I'm honest with you. 1231
- I'm not honest with you? - No, what about your 12 brothers? 1232 All right. 1233
No, you're not going. You're not leaving. 1234
What do you want to know? That I don't
have 12 brothers? That I'm a fucking orphan? 1235
- You don't want to hear that. - I didn't know that. 1236
You don't want to hear I got fucking
cigarettes put out on me when I was little kid. 1237
- I didn't know that.
- That this isn't fucking surgery. 1238
The motherfucker stabbed me. You don't
want to hear that shit, Skylar! 1239
- I do want to hear that. - Don't tell me you want that shit! 1240
- I want to help you. - Help me? What the fuck? 1241
What do I got, a fucking sign on my back that says, "Save me"? 1242 - No.
- Do I look like I need that? 1243
- No, I just want to be with you- - Don't bullshit me! 1244 - I love you.
- Don't bullshit me! Don't you fucking bullshit me! 1245 I love you. 1246
I want to hear you say that you don't love me. 1247
Because if you say that... 1248
then I won't call you... 1249
and I won't be in your life. 1250
I don't love you.
1251
Most people never get to see how brilliant they can be. 1252
They don't find teachers that believe in them. 1253
They get convinced they're stupid. 1254
I hope you appreciate what he's doing, 1255
because I've seen how much he enjoys working with you, 1256
not against you. 1257 Hello, Will. 1258
Tom, can you get us some coffee? 1259 Sure. 1260
Now, let's see. 1261
Good. This is correct. 1262
I see you used Maclaurin here. 1263
Yeah, I don't know what you call it, but- 1264
This can't be right. 1265 This would be very embarrassing. 1266
- Did you ever consider- - I'm pretty sure it's right. 1267
Hey, look, can we do this at Sean's office from now on? 1268
Because I got to knock off work to come
here and the commute is killing me. 1269
- Yeah, sure. Did you think of the possibility- - That's right. 1270 It's right.
Just take it home with you. 1271
What happened at the McNeil meeting? 1272
I couldn't go. I had a date. 1273
So I sent my chief negotiator. 1274
On your own time, you can do
whatever you like, Will. 1275
But when I set up a meeting with my associates, 1276
and you don't show up, it reflects poorly on me. 1277
- Then don't set up any more meetings. - I won't. 1278 I'll cancel 'em. 1279
I'll give you a job myself. I just wanted you to see what was out there. 1280
Maybe I don't want to spend the rest of
my fucking life explaining shit to people. 1281
I think you could show me some appreciation. 1282
A little appreciation?
Do you know how easy this is for me? 1283
Do you have any fucking idea how easy
this is? This is a fucking joke. 1284
I'm sorry you can't do this- I really am- 1285
Because I wouldn't have to fucking sit here
and watch you fumble around and fuck it up. 1286
Then you'd have more time to sit around
and get drunk instead, wouldn't you? 1287
You're right. This is probably a total waste of my time. 1288
You're right, Will. 1289
I can't do this proof, but you can. 1290
And when it comes to that, it's only about
just a handful of people in the world... 1291
who can tell the difference between you and me. 1292
- But I'm one of them. - Sorry. 1293
Yeah, so am I. 1294
Most days I wish I never met you, 1295
because then I could sleep at night. 1296
I didn't have to walk around with the knowledge
that there was someone like you out there. 1297
I didn't have to watch you throw it all away. 1298
Bill, hold it. Did you hear that? 1299 Morgan! 1300
If you're watching pornos in my mom's room
again, I'm gonna give you a fucking beating! 1301
What's up, fellas? 1302
Morgan, why don't you jerk off in your
own fucking house. That's fucking filthy. 1303
I don't have a V.C.R. in my house. 1304
Come on. Not in my glove.
1305
I didn't use the glove. 1306
That's my Little League glove. 1307
What do you want me to do? 1308
I mean, what's wrong with you? 1309
You'll hump a baseball glove? 1310
I- I just used it for cleanup. 1311
Stop jerking off in my mother's room. 1312
- Is there another V.C.R. in the house?
- It's just sad, bro. 1313
So why do you think I should work for the
National
Security
Agency?
1314
Well, you'd be working on the cutting edge. 1315
You'd be exposed to the kind of technology you wouldn't see anywhere else, 1316
because we've classified it. 1317
Superstring theory, chaos math,
advanced
algorithms.
1318
Code breaking. 1319
That's one aspect of what we do. 1320 Oh, come on. That is what you do. 1321
You guys handle 80% of the intelligence workload. 1322
You're seven times the size of the C.I.A. 1323
We don't like to brag about that, Will,
but you're exactly right. 1324
So the way I see it, the question isn't: 1325
"Why should you work for the N.S.A.?" 1326
The question is: "Why shouldn't you?" 1327
Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? 1328
That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. 1329
Say I'm working at the N.S.A. and somebody puts a code on my desk. 1330
Something no one else can break. 1331
Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. 1332
I'm real happy with myself because I did my job well. 1333
But maybe that code was the location of some
rebel army in North Africa or Middle East. 1334
Once they have that location, they bomb
the village where the rebels are hiding. 1335
Fifteen hundred people that I never met,
never had no problem with, get killed. 1336
Now the politicians are saying,
"Send in
the Marines to secure the area," 1337
'cause they don't give a shit. 1338
It won't be their kid over there getting shot, 1339
just like it wasn't them when their number got
called 'cause they were in the National Guard. 1340
It'll be some kid from Southie over there taking shrapnel in the ass. 1341
He comes back to find the plant
he used to work at... 1342
got exported to the country he got back from, 1343
and the guy who put the shrapnel
in his ass got his old job... 1344
'cause he'll work for 15 cents a day and no bathroom breaks. 1345
Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason
he was over there in the first
place... 1346
was so we could install a government
that would sell us oil at a good price. 1347
Of course, the oil companies used a skirmish over there
to
scare
up
domestic oil prices.
1348
A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but
it ain't helping my buddy at 2.50 a gallon. 1349
They're taking their sweet time bringing the oil, of course. 1350
Maybe they even took the liberty
to hire an alcoholic skipper, 1351
who likes to drink martinis and fucking
play slalom with the icebergs. 1352
It ain't too long till he hits one, spills the oil... 1353
and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. 1354
So now my buddy's out of
work,
he can't afford to drive, 1355
so he's walking to
the fucking job interviews... 1356
which sucks because the shrapnel in his
ass is giving him chronic hemorrhoids. 1357 Meanwhile, he's
starving,
'cause every
time he tries to get a bite to eat, 1358
the only blue plate special they're serving... 1359
is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. 1360
So what did I think?
I'm holding out for something better. 1361
I figure, fuck it. While I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, 1362 take his job,
give it to his sworn enemy, 1363
hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, 1364
hit the hash pipe
and join the National Guard? 1365
I can be elected president. 1366
- You feel like you're alone? - What? 1367
Do you have a soul mate? 1368 Do I have a- Define that. 1369
Somebody who challenges you. 1370
- Uh, Chuckie.
- No, Chuckie's family. He'd lie down in fucking traffic for you. 1371
I'm talking about someone who opens
up things for you, touches your soul. 1372 - I got- I got- - Who? 1373 - I got plenty. - Well, name 'em. 1374 Shakespeare, Nietzsche,
Frost,
O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke-
1375 That's great. They're all dead. 1376
- Not to me they're not. - You don't have a lot of dialogue with them. 1377
You can't give back to them, Will. 1378
- Not without some serious smelling salts and a heater. - That's what I'm saying. 1379
You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world... 1380
where you're always afraid to take the first step, 1381
because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road. 1382 -
You
gonna
take
the
professor's side on this? - Don't give me a line of shit. 1383 - No.
- I didn't want the job. 1384
It's not about the job. I don't care
if you work for the government. 1385
But you can do anything you want.
You are bound by nothing. 1386
What are you passionate about?
What do you want? 1387
There are guys who work their entire life laying brick... 1388
so their kids have a chance at the opportunities you have here. 1389
- I didn't ask for this. - No. 1390
You were born with it, so don't cop out
behind: "I didn't ask for this. " 1391
- What do you mean, cop out? What's wrong with laying brick? - Nothing. 1392
There's nothing wrong. That's somebody's home I'm building. 1393 Right. My dad laid brick, okay?
1394
Busted his ass so I could have an education. 1395
Exactly. That's
an honorable profession. 1396
What's wrong with fixing somebody's car? 1397
Someone will get to work the next day
because of me. That's honor in that. 1398
Yeah, there is, Will. There is honor in that. 1399
There's honor in taking that 40-minute train ride... 1400
so those college kids could come in in
the morning and their floors are clean. 1401
- And their wastebaskets are empty. That's real work. - That's right. 1402
And that's honorable. I'm sure that's why you took that job. 1403
I mean, for the honor of it.
1404
I just have a little question here. You could
be
a
janitor
anywhere.
1405
Why did you work at the most prestigious
technical college in the whole fucking world? 1406
Why did you sneak around at night and finish other
people's
formulas...
1407
that only one or two people in the world
could do and then lie about it? 1408
'Cause I don't see a lot of honor in that, Will. 1409
So what do you really wanna do? 1410
I wanna be a shepherd. 1411 Really? 1412
I wanna move up to Nashua, get a nice little
spread, get some sheep and tend to them.
1413
- Maybe you should go do that. - What? 1414
You know, if you're gonna jerk off, why don't
you just do it at home with a moist towel? 1415
- You're chucking me? - Yeah, get the fuck outta here. 1416
- No, no, no, time's not up yet. - Yeah, it is. 1417
- I'm not leaving. No.
- You're not gonna answer, you're wasting my time. 1418
I thought we were friends. 1419
- Playtime's over, okay? - Why are you kicking me out? 1420
You're lecturing me on life? Look at you, you fucking burnout. 1421
- What winds your clock? - Working with you. 1422
Where's your soul mate? You wanna
talk about soul mates? Where is she?
1423 - Dead.
- That's right. She's fucking dead. 1424
She fucking dies and you just cash in
your chips and you walk away? 1425
- At least I played a hand. - You played a hand and you lost. You lost a big fucking hand. 1426
Some people will lose a big hand like
that and have the sack to ante up again. 1427 Look at me.
What do you wanna do? 1428
You and your bullshit.
You got a bullshit answer for everybody. 1429
But I ask you a very simple question and
you can't give me a straight answer, 1430
because you don't know. 1431
I'll see ya, Bo-peep.
1432 - Fuck you.
- You're the shepherd. 1433 Shepherd. 1434
White little prick. 1435
I just wanted to, you know, um, 1436 call you up,
uh, before you left, um- 1437
I've been taking all these jobs interviews and stuff, 1438
so I'm not gonna be just a construction worker. 1439
Well, you know, I never really cared about that. 1440 Yeah. 1441 I love you. 1442 Will? 1443
You take care. 1444
Someone's always coming around here
1445
- Trailing some new kill - Bye. 1446
Says, I seen your picture on a 1447
Hundred-dollar bill 1448
What's a game of chance to you 1449 In this world 1450 Of real skill 1451
So glad to meet ya 1452 Angeles 1453
Picking up the ticket
shows there's money to be made 1454
Go on, lose the gamble 1455
That's the history of the trade 1456
Did you add up all the cards left to play 1457
To zero 1458
And sign up with people 1459 Angeles 1460
Don't start with me trying... 1461 Will! 1462 Will, that's it! We're done! 1463
I'm sitting in your office and the boy isn't here. 1464
Well, it's ten past 5:00. 1465
An hour and ten minutes late. 1466
Well, if he doesn't show up and I file
a report saying he wasn't here... 1467
and he goes back to jail, he won't be on my conscience. 1468 Okay. Fine. 1469 What's up?
1470 Thanks. 1471
Ah! God, that's good. 1472
So how's your lady? 1473
Ah, she's gone. 1474
Gone? Gone where? 1475 Med school.
Medical school in California. 1476 - Really? - Yeah. 1477
- When was this? - It was, like, a week ago. 1478 That sucks. 1479
So, uh, when are you done with those meetings? 1480
I think the week after I'm 21. 1481
They gonna hook ya up with a job or what? 1482
Yeah, fucking sit in a room and do
long division for the next 50 years. 1483
Nah, probably make some nice bank though. 1484 I'm gonna be a fucking lab rat. 1485
Better than this shit. Way outta here. 1486
What do I want a way outta here for? 1487
I mean, I'm gonna fucking live here the rest of my life. 1488
You know, be neighbors. You know, have little kids. 1489
Fucking take 'em to Little League
together up Foley Field. 1490
Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. 1491
But in 20 years if you're still living here, 1492
coming over to my house to watch the Patriots games,
1493
still working construction, I'll fucking kill ya. 1494
That's not a threat. That's a fact.
I'll fucking kill ya. 1495 What the fuck are you talking about? 1496
- Look, you got something none of us have. - Oh, come on! 1497
Why is it always this? I fucking owe it to myself to do this or that. 1498
- What if I don't want to? - No, no, no. Fuck you. You don't owe it to yourself. 1499
You owe it to me, 1500
'cause tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be 50, 1501
and I'll still be doing this shit. 1502
That's all right. That's fine. 1503
I mean, you're sitting on a winning lottery ticket. 1504
You're too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that's bullshit. 1505
'Cause I'd do fucking anything to have what you got. 1506
So would any of these fucking guys. 1507
Be an insult to us
if you're still here in 20 years. 1508
Hanging around here
is a fucking waste of your time. 1509
- You don't know that. - I don't? 1510
- No. You don't know that. - Oh, I don't know that. Let me tell you what I do know. 1511
Every day I come by your house,
and I pick you up. 1512
We go out and have a few drinks
and few laughs, and it's great. 1513
You know what the
best part of my day is? 1514
It's for about ten seconds: from when I pull
up to the curb and when I get to your door. 1515
'Cause I think maybe I'll get up there and
I'll knock on the door and you won't be there. 1516
No "good-bye," no "see ya later. "
No nothing. You just left. 1517
I don't know much, but I know that. 1518
This is a disaster, Sean. 1519
I brought you in here because I wanted you to help me with the boy, 1520
- not to run him out.
- I know what I'm doing with the boy. 1521
I don't care if you have a rapport with the boy! 1522
I don't care if you have a few laughs,
even at my expense.
1523
- But don't you dare undermine what I'm trying to do here. - Undermine? 1524 This boy is at
a fragile point right now. 1525
I do understand. He is at a fragile point. He's got problems. 1526
What problems does he have? That he's
better off as a janitor, in jail? 1527
Better hanging out with a bunch of retarded gorillas? 1528
Why do you think he does that?
You have any fucking clue why? 1529
He can handle the problems. He can
handle the work. He obviously handled you. 1530 Listen to me. Why is he hiding? 1531 Why doesn't he trust anybody?
1532
Because the first thing that happened to him, 1533
he was abandoned by the people
who were supposed to love him the most. 1534 Don't give me that Freudian crap. 1535
Why does he hang out with those
retarded gorillas, as you call them? 1536
Because any one of them, if he asked
them to, would take a bat to your head. 1537
- That's called loyalty. - Yeah, that's very touching. 1538
Who's he handling? He pushes people away
before they have a chance to leave him. 1539
It's a defense mechanism, all right? 1540
For 20 years, he's been alone because of that.
1541
If you push him right now, it's gonna
be the same thing all over again. 1542 I'm not gonna let that happen to him. 1543
- Don't you do that. - What? 1544
Don't infect him with the idea that it's
okay to quit, that it's okay to be a failure. 1545
Because it's not okay, Sean! 1546
And if you're angry at me for being
successful, for being what you could have been- 1547
- I'm not angry at you.
- Oh, yes, you're angry at me, Sean. 1548
You resent me, but I'm not gonna
apologize for any success I've had. 1549
You're angry at me for doing what you could have done!
1550
But ask yourself, Sean- Ask yourself... 1551
if you want Will to feel that way-
if you want him to feel like a failure? 1552
You arrogant shit! 1553
That's why I don't come to the goddamn reunions,
'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. 1554 -
That
condescending,
embarrassed look. - Oh, come on, Sean. 1555
You think I'm a failure. I know who I am. 1556
I'm proud of what I do. It was a conscious choice. I didn't fuck up! 1557
And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. 1558
You and your kiss-ass chorus following
you around going, "The Field's medal!" 1559
Why are you still so fucking afraid of failure? 1560
It's about my medal, isn't it? Oh, God, I could
go home and get it for you. You can have it. 1561
Shove the medal up your fucking ass, all right? 1562
'Cause I don't give a shit about your medal, 1563
because I knew you before you were a mathematical god, 1564
when you were pimple-faced and homesick and
didn't know what side of the bed to piss on. 1565
Yeah, you were smarter than me then
and you're smarter than me now. 1566
So don't blame me for how your life turned out. 1567
I don't blame you! It's not about you! 1568
You mathematical dick! It's about the boy!
1569
He's a good kid! And I won't see you fuck him
up like you're trying to fuck up me right now. 1570
I won't see you make him feel like a failure too! 1571
- He won't be a failure! - But if you push him! If you ride him! 1572
I am what I am today because I was pushed
and because I learned to push myself. 1573
He's not you! You get that! 1574
I can come back. 1575 No, come in.
Uh, I was just leaving. 1576
A lot of that stuff goes back a long way between me and him. 1577
You know. Not about you. 1578 What is that? 1579
This is your file. I have to send it back to
the
judge
for
evaluation.
1580
Oh. Hey, you're not gonna fail me, are you? 1581 What's it say? 1582
- Wanna read it? - Why? 1583
Have you had any, uh, experience with that? 1584
Twenty years of counseling. Yeah, I've seen some pretty awful shit. 1585
I mean, have you had any experience with that? 1586 - Personally? - Yeah. 1587 Yeah, I have. 1588
It sure ain't good. 1589
My father was an alcoholic. 1590
Mean fucking drunk.
1591
He'd come home hammered, looking to whale on somebody. 1592
So I'd provoke him so he wouldn't go
after my mother and little brother. 1593
Interesting nights when he wore his rings. 1594
He used to just put a wrench, 1595
a stick and a belt on the table. 1596
- Just say, "Choose. "
- Well, I gotta go with the belt there. 1597
I used to go with the wrench. 1598
Why the wrench? 1599
'Cause fuck him, that's why. 1600
- Your foster father? - Yeah. 1601
So, uh, what is it, like, Will
has
an
attachment
disorder? 1602
Is it all that stuff? 1603
Fear of abandonment? 1604
Is that why I broke up with Skylar? 1605
- I didn't know you had. - Yeah, I did. 1606
- You wanna talk about it? - No. 1607 Hey, Will, I don't know a lot. 1608 You see this? All this shit? 1609
It's not your fault. 1610
Yeah, I know that. 1611
Look at me, son. 1612
- It's not your fault. - I know. 1613
No. It's not your fault.
1614 I know. 1615
No, no, you don't. It's not your fault. 1616 - Hmm? - I know. 1617
- It's not your fault. - All right. 1618
It's not your fault. 1619
- It's not your fault. - Don't fuck with me. 1620
It's not your fault. 1621
Don't fuck with me, all right? Don't fuck with me, Sean, not you. 1622
It's not your fault. 1623
It's not your fault. 1624 My God- 1625
My God! I'm so sorry! My God! 1626
Fuck them, okay? 1627
- Can I help you?
- Yeah, I'm Will Hunting. I'm here about a position. 1628
Could you just have a seat for a moment? 1629 Yes, there's
a Mr. Hunting in the lobby. 1630
Which one did you take? 1631
I was over at McNeil. It's one of the jobs the professor set me up with. 1632
I haven't told him yet, but I went
down there and talked to my boss- 1633 My new boss.
He seemed like a good guy. 1634
- Is that what you want? - Yeah, you know, I think so. 1635
Well, good for you. Congratulations. 1636 Thanks.
1637 Time's up. 1638
So that's- So that's it? So we're done? 1639 Yeah, that's it. 1640 You're done. You're a free man. 1641
Well, um, I just want you to know, Sean, that- 1642
You're welcome, Will. 1643
So, you know, I hope we keep in touch, you know. 1644 Yeah, me too. 1645
I'll be traveling around a bit. It'll be a little hard, but, uh- 1646
I've got an answering machine at
the college I'll be checking in with. 1647
So, here's the number. 1648 You call that.
I'll get back to you right away.
1649
Yeah, you know, I figured I'm just gonna... 1650
put my money back on the table
and see what kind of cards I get. 1651
You do what's in your heart, son. You'll be fine. 1652
- Thank you, Sean. - Uh- 1653
Thank you, Will. 1654
Hey, does this violate
the patient-doctor relationship? 1655
Naw. Only if you grab my ass. 1656 - Take care. - You too. 1657 Yeah. 1658 Hey. 1659
Good luck, son. 1660
Two beers. 1661 What's up? Did you guys go? 1662
No. I had to talk him down. 1663
- Why didn't you yoke him? - Little Morgan's got a lot of scrap to him. 1664
People try to whip his ass every week. 1665
- Fucking kid won't back down. - What are you saying about me? 1666
Was I talking to you?
None of your fucking business. 1667
- Go get me a beer. - I ordered two beers! 1668
- Hey, asshole. - What, bitch? 1669
- Happy birthday.
- Thought we forgot, huh, bitch? 1670 - Come on!
- I'm going. I'm going.
1671
All right. Who's first? 1672
- Come on, motherfucker! - Who's first? 1673
Oh, Danny boy 1674
Here's your present. 1675
- Come on, bro. - What? 1676
Well, we knew you had to get back and
forth to Cambridge for your new job. 1677
I knew I wasn't gonna fucking drive you every day, so- 1678
- Morgan wanted to get you a "T" pass.
- That's not what I was saying! 1679
But, uh, you're 21 now. 1680
You're legally allowed to drink, so we
figured the best thing for ya was a car. 1681
- How do you like it? - This is like-
- It's a straight fucking six. 1682
It's the ugliest fucking car I've ever seen in my life. 1683
- Come on, brother. - How'd you guys do this? 1684
You know, me and Bill scraped together the parts, 1685 and
Morgan
was
out
panhandling
for change every day. 1686
I had the router to do all the bodywork. 1687
Yeah, I have a fucking job, too, brother. 1688
Guy's been up my ass for two years about
a job. I had to let him help with the car. 1689
So you finally got a job, huh, Morgan? 1690
- Yeah, had one. Now I'm fucked again. - So what is it? 1691
- A lawn mower? What do ya got?
1692
Me and Bill rebuilt
this engine ourselves here. 1693
It's a good car.
The engine's good. Engine's good. 1694
- Happy 21, Will. - Happy 21, brother. 1695 Hi. 1696 Come on in. 1697 Sean, I, um- 1698
Me too, Gerry. 1699 Yeah. Good. 1700 I heard you're taking some time. 1701
Yeah. Travel a little bit, maybe write. 1702
So where are you going? 1703
India and China and Baltimore.
1704 Oh. 1705
You know when you'll be back? 1706
Oh. I got this flyer the other day. 1707
It says, uh, class of '72 is having a reunion in six months. 1708 Yeah, I got one of those too. 1709
Why don't you come? I'll buy ya a drink. 1710 The drinks at those things are free. 1711 I know, Gerry. I was being ironical. 1712 - Oh.
- How about a drink right now? 1713
Yeah. It's a good idea. 1714 Come on. This one's on me.
1715
- I got the winner right here, pal. - Oh! 1716
Yes, sir, this is the one. 1717
This is my ticket to paradise. 1718
Do you know what the odds are against winning the lottery? 1719
- What? Four to one? - About 30 million to one. 1720
I still have a shot, you know? 1721
Yes, just about as big chance as you being hit
by lightning here on the staircase right now. 1722
It's a possibility too. I mean, 32 million. If you look at the size- 1723 Will! 1724 Will! 1725
He's not there. 1726
I'll fake it through the day 1727
Sean, If the professor calls about that job, 1728
just tell him sorry,
I had to go see about a girl. 1729 Will. 1730
Son of a bitch. He stole my line. 1731 To take its toll and in having a lot 1732
Of nothing to do 1733
Do you miss me 1734 Miss misery 1735
Like you say you do 1736
I know you'd rather see me gone 1737
Than to see me 1738 The way 1739
That I am, when I am 1740
In the life anyway 1741
Next door TV's flashing through 1742
Frames on the wall 1743 It's a comedy 1744
Of errors, you see 1745
It's about taking a fall 1746 To vanish into 1747 Oblivion 1748 It's easy to do 1749 And I try to be 1750
But you know me I come back 1751
When you want me to 1752
Do you miss me 1753
Miss misery 1754
Like you say you do 1755
Gonna find my baby gonna hold her tight 1756 Gonna grab
some afternoon delight 1757
My motto's always been when it's right, it's right 1758
Why wait until the middle of a cold, dark night 1759
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day 1760
And we know the night is always gonna be here anyway 1761
Thinking of you
is working up an appetite 1762
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight 1763
Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite 1764
And the thought of rubbing you
is getting so exciting 1765
Skyrockets in flight 1766
Afternoon delight 1767
Afternoon delight 1768
Afternoon delight 1769
Started out this morning feeling so polite 1770
I always thought a fish could not be caught who didn't bite 1771 But you got
some bait a waiting and I think I might 1772
Like nibbling a little afternoon delight 1773
Skyrockets in flight 1774
Afternoon delight 1775
Afternoon delight 1776
Be waiting for me, baby when I come around
1777
We can make a lot of loving before the sun go down 1778
Thinking of you
is working up an appetite 1779
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight 1780
Rubbing sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite 1781
And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting 1782
Skyrockets in flight 1783
Afternoon delight 1784
Afternoon delight 1785 Aft- 1786
Afternoon delight 1787 Aft- 1788
Afternoon delight
