Good Will Hunting Page #4

WILL:

Well, she out did herself today...

MORGAN:

I don't got a crush on her.

Push in on Will who sees something O.S.

Will's P.O.V. reveals BOBBY CHAMPA and his friends walking

down the street. One of them casually lobs a bottle into a

wire garbage can. It SHATTERS and some of the glass hits a

FEMALE PASSERBY who, although unhurt, is upset.

CHUCKIE:

What do we got?

WILL:

I don't know yet.

Will's P.O.V.:
The woman says something to Bobby. He says

something back. By the look on her face, it was something

unpleasant.

MORGAN:

Come on, Will...

CHUCKIE:

Shut up.

MORGAN:

No, why didn't you fight him at the

park if you wanted to? I'm not goin'

now, I'm eatin' my snack.

WILL:

(smiles)

So don't go.

Will is out of the door, jogging toward Bobby Champa. Billy

gets out, following Will with a look of casual indifference.

CHUCKIE:

Morgan, Let's go.

MORGAN:

I'm serious Chuckie, I ain't goin'.

Leaving the car, Chuckie opens his door to follow.

CHUCKIE:

(spins in his seat)

You're goin'. And if you're not out

there in two f***in' seconds, when

I'm done with them you're next!

And with that, Chuckie is out the door.

CUT TO:

EXT. SIDEWALK --CONTINUOUS

Will comes jogging up towards BOBBY CHAMPA, calling out from

across the street,

WILL:

(smiling, good

naturedly)

Hey, Bobby Champa! I went to

Kindergarten with you right? Sister

Margaret's class...

Bobby is bewildered by this strange interruption and unsure

of Will's intentions. Just when it looks as though Bobby

might remember him, Will DRILLS HIM with a sucker-punch which

begins the

FIGHT SEQUENCE:
40 FRAMES OVER M. GAYE'S "LET'S GET IT ON."

Will's momentum and respectable strength serve to knock the

hapless Champa out cold.

As soon as Will hits Bobby, his friends CONVERGE ON WILL.

Billy JUMPS IN and wrestles one guy to the ground. The two

exchange messy punches on the sidewalk.

Will is in trouble, back pedaling, dodging punches, trying

to avoid being overrun.

When Will goes for one guy, another has an open shot and he

HAMMERS WILL with a right hand to the head.

Will is staggered and bleary, as a second guy winds up for a

shot he is BLIND SIDED by Chuckie who hits the kid like he

was a tackling sled, lifting him off the ground.

Chuckie turns to see Will still outnumbered. It's all Will

can do to stay standing as Morgan DROP KICKS one of Champa's

boys from the hood of a car.

Contrary to what we might think, Morgan is actually quite a

fighter. He peppers the kid with a flurry of blows.

The fight is messy, ugly and chaotic. Most punches are thrown

wildly and miss, heads are banged against concrete, someone

throws a bottle.

In the end, it's our guys who are left standing, while Bobby's

friends stagger off. Chuckie and Morgan turn to see Will,

standing over the unconscious Bobby Champa, still POUNDING

him.

ANGLE ON WILL:
SAVAGE, UGLY, VICIOUS, AND VIOLENT

Whatever demons must be raging inside Will, he is taking

them out on Bobby Champa. He pummels the helpless, unconscious

Champa, fury in his eyes. Chuckie and Billy pull Will away.

The POLICE finally arrive on the scene and having only

witnessed Will's vicious attack on Champa, they grab him.

EXT. SIDEWALK (FULL SPEED) -- CONTINUOUS

A crowd of onlookers have gathered. Chuckie addresses them.

CHUCKIE:

Hey, thanks for comin' out.

WILL:

Yeah, you're all invited over to

Morgan's house for a complementary

fish sandwich.

The Police slam Will into the hood of a car.

WILL:

(to Police)

Hey, I know it's not a French cruller,

but it's free.

The cop holding Will SLAMS his [Will's] face into the hood,

another cop uses a baton to press Will's face into the car.

The look of rage returns to Will's eye.

WILL:

Get the f*** off me!

Will resists. Another cop comes over. Will KICKS HIM IN THE

KNEE, dropping the cop. Momentarily freed, Will engages in a

fracas with three cops. More converge on Will, who -- though

he struggles -- takes a beating.

CUT TO:

EXT. SEAN'S ROOF -- NIGHT

Sean sits, exactly as we first saw him, except his tie is

now loose and an empty bottle of BUSHMILLS is at his side.

He stares out over the City. A MATRONLY LANDLADY comes out

of a doorway on the roof.
