Laughter as the boys converge on Will. He goes willingly out

the door.

EXT. L STREET -- CONTINUOUS

As they come out the door, rather than beating Will

mercilessly, they stop. Morgan goes into his own, personal

rendition of "Danny Boy." No one joins in.

CHUCKIE:

Shut up, Morgan.

(to Will)

Here's your present.

Chuckie indicates an old CHEVY NOVA, parked illegally in

front of the bar.

WILL:

You're kiddin' me.

CHUCKIE:

Yeah, I figured now that you got

your big job over in Cambridge, you

needed some way to get over there

and I knew I wasn't gonna drive you

every day...

Laughter.

CHUCKIE:

Morgan wanted to get you a "T" pass.

MORGAN:

No I didn't...

Will approaches the car to take a closer look.

CHUCKIE:

But you're twenty-one now, so--

BILLY:

Yeah, now that you can drink legally,

we thought the best thing to get you

was a car.

More laughter. Will inspects the Nova.

WILL:

You're kiddin' me.

(a beat)

This is the ugliest f***in' car I

ever seen in my life.

Laughter, a beat.

WILL:

(serious)

How the f*** did you guys do this?

CHUCKIE:

Me and Bill scraped together the

parts, worked on it. Morgan was out

panhandlin' every day.

MORGAN:

F*** you, I did the body work. Whose

f***in' router you think sanded out

all that bondo?

CHUCKIE:

Guy's been up my ass for two years

about a f***in' job. I had to let

him help with the car.

WILL:

So, you finally got a job Morgan?

MORGAN:

Had one, now I'm f***ed again.

WILL:

(to Chuckie)

So what do you got, a f***in' Hyundai

engine under there? Can I make it

back to my house?

CHUCKIE:

F*** you. I re-built the engine

myself. That thing could make it to

Hawaii if you wanted it to.

Chuckie gives Will a look.

CHUCKIE:

Happy 21, Will.

CUT TO:

INT. SEAN'S OFFICE -- DAY

Will sits across from Sean.

SEAN:

Which one did you take, Will?

WILL:

Over at Tri-tech. One of the jobs

Professor Lambeau set me up with. I

haven't told him yet, but I talked

to my new boss over there and he

seemed like a nice guy.

SEAN:

That's what you want?

WILL:

Yeah, I think so.

SEAN:

Good for you. Congratulations.

WILL:

Thanks you.

(a beat)

So, that's it? We're done?

SEAN:

We're done. You did your time. You're

a free man.

A beat.

WILL:

I just want you to know, Sean...

SEAN:

You're Welcome, Will.

WILL:

I'll keep in touch.

SEAN:

I'm gonna travel a little bit, so I

don't know where I'll be.

Will smiles.

SEAN:

I just... figured it's time I put my

money back on the table, see what

kind of cards I get.

Will smiles. Sean hands him a piece of paper.

SEAN:

I'll be checking in with my machine

at the college. If you ever need

anything, just call.

Sean smiles.

SEAN:

Do what's in your heart, son. You'll

be fine.

WILL:

Thanks you, Sean.

They embrace.

SEAN:

No. Thank you.

WILL:

(re:
embrace)

Does this violate the patient/doctor

relationship?

SEAN:

Only if you grab my ass.

They laugh.

WILL:

See ya.

SEAN:

Good luck.

Both men smile.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE SEAN'S OFFICE - MOMENTS LATER

Will comes out of Sean's office and sees Lambeau walking up.

LAMBEAU:

(surprised)

Will.

WILL:

Hey, how you doin'?
