Good Will Hunting Page #38

LAMBEAU:

You know, you're no longer required

to come here.

WILL:

I was just sayin' goodbye to Sean.

LAMBEAU:

(a beat)

Sam called me. From Tri-tech. He

says you start working for them next

week.

Will nods.

LAMBEAU:

Well, that's, I think that's terrific.

Congratulations.

WILL:

Thank you.

LAMBEAU:

I just want you to know... It's been

a pleasure.

WILL:

Bullshit.

They laugh.

LAMBEAU:

This job... Do it if it's what you

really want.

WILL:

I appreciate that.

A moment. Will starts to go, Lambeau watches him for a beat,

Will turns back around.

WILL:

Hey, Gerry.

LAMBEAU:

Yes.

WILL:

Listen, I'll be nearby so, if you

need some help, or you get stuck

again, don't be afraid to give me a

call.

LAMBEAU:

(has to smile)

Thank you, Will. I'll do that.

Will smiles, turns and walks away.

INT. SEAN'S OFFICE -- DAY

Sean is packing his office. Lambeau opens the door.

LAMBEAU:

Hello, Sean.

SEAN:

Come in.

LAMBEAU:

Sean...

SEAN:

(a beat)

Me too.

A moment.

LAMBEAU:

So I hear you're taking some time.

SEAN:

Yeah. Summer vacation. Thought I'd

travel some. Maybe write a little

bit.

LAMBEAU:

Where're you going?

SEAN:

I don't know. India maybe.

LAMBEAU:

Why there?

SEAN:

Never been.

Lambeau nods.

LAMBEAU:

Do you know when you'll be back?

SEAN:

(picks up a flyer

from his desk)

I got this mailer the other day.

Class of Sixty-five is having this

event in six months.

LAMBEAU:

I got one of those too.

SEAN:

You should come. I'll buy you a drink.

Lambeau smiles.

LAMBEAU:

Sean...

A beat.

LAMBEAU:

The drinks at those things are free.

Sean smiles.

SEAN:

Hell, I know that.

Both men laugh.

LAMBEAU:

How about one now?

SEAN:

Sounds good.

They start to walk out.

SEAN:

It's on you though, until eight

o'clock tonight when I win my money.

Sean pulls out his lottery ticket. They start out down the

hall.

CUT TO:

INT. HALLWAY -- CONTINUOUS

On their backs as they walk down the hall.

LAMBEAU:

Sean, do you have any idea what the

odds are against winning the lottery?

SEAN:

I don't know... Gotta be at least

four to one.

LAMBEAU:

About thirty million to one.

SEAN:

You're pretty quick with those

numbers. How about the odds of me

buying the first round?

LAMBEAU:

About thirty million to one.

CUT TO:

EXT. BANK OF THE CHARLES RIVER -- AFTERNOON

Will sits alone, thinking. We hold on him for an extended

beat until he gets up and walks away.

OMITTED:

EXT. SEAN'S APARTMENT -- EARLY EVENING

Begin final sequence.

A wide, establishing shot of Sean's apartment complex as the

sun is setting. The lights are on in one unit. A tighter

shot reveals Sean, in his apartment, packing his belongings

in cardboard boxes.

EXT. SEAN'S APARTMENT, STREET -- SAME

The camera cranes down from Sean's window and onto the street,

where we pan to reveal Will, sitting in his car and looking

up at Sean as he packs his things. Will's car is packed full

of clothes and books.

EXT. SOUTH BOSTON STREET -- SAME

Chuckie and the boys drive down the street in the Cadillac.

Morgan and Billy ride in the back, leaving the shotgun seat

open for Will.

EXT. SEAN'S APARTMENT -- SAME

Will holds an envelope which he slips in Sean's mailbox. He

puts the flag up and smiles as he looks up at Sean in his

apartment who is still unaware that Will is there.
