Good Will Hunting 1997 quotes, page 4

Will

There is a lengthy legal precedent, your honor, going back to 1789, whereby a defendant can claim self-defense against an agent of the government, if that act is deemed a defense against tyranny, a defense of liberty.

Your Honor...

Will

Henry Ward Beecher in Proverbs from the Plymouth Pulpit, 1887 says, and I quote--

1887? This is the 20th century, your honor.

Will

Excuse me. Excuse me.

You're making a mockery of the court here!

Will

I'm afforded the right to speak in my own defense, sir, by the Constitution of the United States. This is the same document that guarantees my liberty.

Hey, don't tell me about the Constitution of the United States.

Will

Now, liberty, in case you've forgotten, is the soul's right to breath. And when it cannot take a long breath, laws are girdered too tight. Without liberty, man is a syncope.

Man is a what?

Will

Ibid, your honor..

Will

What do you want to know? What? That I don't have twelve brothers?

Skylar

Yes.

Will

That I'm a ****in' orphan!

Skylar

Yes.

Will

No, you don't wanna hear that!

Skylar

I didn't know that.

Will

No, you don't wanna hear that.

Skylar

I didn't know it.

Will

You don't wanna hear that I had ****in' cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid.

Skylar

Oh...I didn't know that...

Will

That this isn't ****in' surgery, that the mother****er stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar.

Skylar

I do wanna hear it.

Will

Don't tell me you want to hear that shit!

Skylar

I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to--

Will

Help me! What the ****? What I got a **** sign on my back? That says "save me?"

Skylar

No.

Will

Do I look like I need that?

Skylar

No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you!

Will

Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you ****in' bullshit me!

Skylar

I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life...

Will

I don't love you.

Will

What the **** do you want?

Lambeau

'm Gerald Lambeau. The professor you told to **** himself.

Will

Well what the **** do you want?

Will

You ever wonder what your life would be like if you uh..if you never met your wife?

Sean

What? Wonder if I'd be better off without her?

Will

No, no, no, I'm not saying, like, better off.

Sean

No.

Will

I didn't mean it like that.

Sean

It's all right. It's an important question. Because you'll have bad times, but that'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to.

Will

And you don't regret meeting your wife?

Sean

Why? Because of the pain I feel now? Well, I got regrets, Will, but I don't regret a single day I spent with her.

Will

You know, I was on this plane once. And I'm sitting there and uh...the captain gets on, he does his whole, you know, we'll be cruisin' at 35,000 feet. But then he puts the mic down n forgets to turn it off.

Sean

Mmm-hmm.

Will

And so he turns to the co-pilot 'n' he's like, "You know, all I could use right now is a ****in' blow job and a cup of coffee." So the stewardess ****in' goes bombin' up from the back of the plane to tell him that the microphone's still on. And this guy in the back of the plane is like, "Hey, hon, don't forget the coffee!"

Sean

You ever been on a plane?

Will

No, but it's a ****in' joke. It works better if I tell it in the first person.

Sean

Yeah, it does.

Will

Hey, does this violate the uh...patient-doctor relationship?

Sean

Only if you grab my ass.

Chuckie

Who'd you call?

Will

No one. I forgot the number.

Morgan

You're **** ****. You went all the way out there in the rain and you didn't bring the number?

Will

No, it was your mother's 900 number, I just ran outta' quarters.

Morgan

Why don't we get off of mothers I just got off of yours.

Will Hunting

This is a...this is just a shot in the dark, but uh...there's no chance that you're uh...pre-law, is there?

Gerald Lambeau

A difficult theorem can be like a...symphony. It's very erotic.

Sean Maguire

See you Monday. We'll be talking about Freud and why he did enough cocaine to kill a small horse.

Will Hunting

So what's this? A Taster's Choice moment between guys? This is really nice.

Will Hunting

Yeah, let's do it, I'm pumped! Let's let the healing begin!

Sean Maguire

And why does he hang out with those **** gorillas, as you called them, because any one of them, if he asked them to, would take a **** bat to your head, okay? It's called loyalty.

Will Hunting

Do you buy all these books retail, or do you send away for like, a shrink kit that comes with all these volumes included?

Sean Maguire

Hey..you know you'd be better off shoving that cigarette up your ass, it'd probably be healthier for you.
