Good Will Hunting (1997)Movie Script

A beat.

SEAN:

I just want to know why you decided to sneak around at night, writing on chalkboards and lying about it.

(beat) 'Cause there's no honor in that.

Will is silent.

SEAN:

Something you want to say?

Sean gets up, goes to the door and opens it.

SEAN:

Why don't you come back when you have an answer for me.

WILL:

What?

SEAN:

If you won't answer my questions, you're wasting my time.

WILL:

What?

Will loses it, slams the door shut.

WILL:

F*** you!

Sean has finally gotten to Will.

WILL:

Who the f*** are you to lecture me about life? You f***in' burnout!

Where's your "soul-mate?!"

Sean lets this play out. Possible "shepard" change.

WILL:

Dead! She dies and you just cash in your chips. That's a f***in' cop- out!

SEAN:

I been there. I played my hand.

WILL:

That's right. And you f***in' lost!

And some people would have the sack to lose a big hand like that and still come back and ante up again!

SEAN:

Look at me. What do you want to do?

A beat. Will looks up.

SEAN:

You and your bullshit. You got an answer for everybody. But I asked you a straight question and you can't give me a straight answer. Because you don't know.

Sean goes to the door and opens it. Will walks out.
