Good Will Hunting Page #11

WILL:

You're right. I know.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

Will, your not getting off that easy.

WILL:

No, but, I mean you know... I do

other things. That no one knows about.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

Like what, Will?

WILL:

I go places, I interact.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

What places?

WILL:

Certain, clubs.

(beat)

Like, Paradise. It's not bad.

Will gives the Psychologist a furtive look.

WILL:

It's just that feeling when you can

take your shirt off and really dance.

(beat)

When the music owns you. Do you

understand?

PSYCHOLOGIST:

I might understand that.

WILL:

Do you find it hard to hide the fact

that you're gay?

PSYCHOLOGIST:

What?

WILL:

C'mon, I read your book. I talked to

you. It's just something I know to

be true.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

That's very presumptuous.

WILL:

Buddy, two seconds ago you were ready

to give me a jump.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

(a little laugh)

Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but I'm married and I have two

children.

WILL:

I'm sure you do. You probably got a

real nice house, nice car -- your

book's a best seller.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

You're getting defensive, Will.

WILL:

Look, man. I don't care if you're

putting from the rough. There are

solid arguments that some of the

greatest people in history were gay;

Alexander the Great, Caesar,

Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, Napoleon,

Gertrude Stein, not to mention Danny

Terrio, not many straight men can

dance like that.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

Who is "Danny Terrio?"

WILL:

If you wanna hit "Ramrod," take your

shot. Take some pride in it. You go

to church? So f***in' what, God loves

you. I mean, Christ. A guy as well

known as you? By the time you put

your disguise on and skulk out of

the house Sunday nights you probably

look like "Inspector Clouseau."

The Psychologist calmly packs his things.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

Well, I can see this is pointless...

WILL:

You're getting defensive... Henry.

And hey, chief -- tell the wife, at

least. Christ, set her free.

The shrink gets up and walks out.

WILL:

F***in' hypocrite...

INT. HALLWAY -- CONTINUOUS

The Psychologist comes walking out, much to the surprise of

Lambeau and Tom who have been waiting in the lobby.

LAMBEAU:

Henry?

The Psychologist keeps walking.

PSYCHOLOGIST:

No. You know what, Gerry? This is

why I don't do pro-bono anymore.

It's not worth it to me.

LAMBEAU:

What happened?

PSYCHOLOGIST:

I don't have the time. I'm going on

national television this week.

LAMBEAU:

Wait a minute, Henry...

He [Henry] is out the door. Lambeau looks to Tom.

CUT TO:

INT. LAMBEAU'S OFFICE -- DAY

Will is in Lambeau's office. Lambeau is at the board, working

on a diagram as Tom takes notes. Will seems disinterested.

LAMBEAU:

This rectangle is subdivided into

rectangles. One edge of an inner

rectangle is an integer. Can you

prove that one edge of the larger

rectangle is an integer?

WILL:

Of course.

LAMBEAU:

Okay. How?

WILL:

It's an integer proof.

Lambeau smiles.

WILL:

What? Hey, look buddy my time's almost

up. You want me to sit here for an

hour and write it out?

Lambeau says nothing. Will gets up and goes to the board.

WILL:

Look, I'll give you the key steps to

it but I'm not gonna do the whole

thing.

Lambeau keeps smiling.

LAMBEAU:

That would be a monumental waste of

time, wouldn't it, Will?

WILL:

I think so.

LAMBEAU:

I happen to know so.
