Good Will Hunting

For the first 20 years of his life, Will Hunting has called the shots. Now he's about to meet his match.

"Do you have a soul mate?"
"Define that."
"Someone you can relate to, someone who opens things up for you."
"Sure, I got plenty."
"Well, name them."
"Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Conner..."
"Well that's great. They're all dead."
"Not to me, they're not."
"You can't have a lot of dialogue with them."
"Not without a heater and some serious smelling salts."

    --  Sean and Will
 

"I read your book last night."
"So you're the one."

    --  Will and Sean
 

"Do you like apples?"
"Yeah."
"Well, I got her number. How do you like them apples?"

    --  Will and Clark
 

"The reason he hangs around with those "gorillas," as you called them, is because anyone of those "gorillas" would take a baseball bat to your head anyday. It's called loyalty."

    --  Sean
 

"You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for a buck fifty in late charges at the public library."

    --  Will
 

"Sometimes I wish I had never met you. Because then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there."

    -- Lambeau
 

"I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president."

    --  Will
 

"You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much. And 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."

    --  Sean

"Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way. In twenty years, if you're still livin' here, comin' over to my house to watch the Patriots games, still workin' construction, I'll fuckin' kill you. That's not a threat. Now, that's a fact. I'll fuckin' kill you."

    --  Chuckie
 

"Nail them while they're vulnerable, that's my motto."

    --  Sean
 

"My dad used to make us walk down to the park and collect the sticks he was going to beat us with. Actually the worst of the beatings were between me and my brother. We would practice on each other, trying to find sticks that would break."
"He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, 'Choose.'"
"Gotta go with the belt, there."
"I used to go with the wrench."
"The wrench, why?"
"'Cause fuck him, that's why."
