Good Will Hunting (1997)Movie Script

LAMBEAU:

Well, have you talked to him at all about his future?

SEAN:

We haven't really gotten into it.

LAMBEAU:

Maybe you should. My phone's been ringing off the hook with job offers.

SEAN:

Jobs doing what?

LAMBEAU:

Cutting edge mathematics. Think tanks.

The kind of place where a mind like Will's is given free reign.

SEAN:

That's great, Gerry, that there's interest -- But I'm not sure he's ready for that.

LAMBEAU:

Sean, I really don't think you understand--

SEAN:

What don't I understand?

Timmy comes over with the sandwiches.

SEAN:

Thanks, Timmy.

LAMBEAU:

Excuse me, Timmy. Could you help us?

We're trying to settle a bet.

TIMMY:

Uh-oh.

LAMBEAU:

Have you heard of Jonas Salk?

TIMMY:

Yeah, cured polio.

LAMBEAU:

You've heard of Albert Einstein?

Timmy smiles. Gives him a look.

LAMBEAU:

How about Gerald Lambeau? Ever heard of him?

TIMMY:

No.

LAMBEAU:

Okay thank you, Timmy.

TIMMY:

So who won the bet?

LAMBEAU:

I did.

A beat. Timmy leaves.

LAMBEAU:

This isn't about me. I'm nothing compared to this young man.
