Daily Dialogue — February 1, 2012
Skylar: What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. You don’t think that every day I wake up and wish I could give it back? That I would give it back in a second if I could have one more day with him? But I can’t, and that’s my life and I deal with it. So don’t put your shit on me when you’re the one that’s afraid.
Will: I’m afraid? What am I afraid of? What the fuck am I afraid of?
Skylar: You’re afraid of me! You’re afraid that I won’t love you back! Fuck it, I wanna give it a shot! At least I’m honest with you.
– Skylar (Minne Driver), Will (Matt Damon), Good Will Hunting (1997), written by Matt Damon & Ben Affleck
The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is break-ups, suggested by Teddy Pasternak. Today’s suggestion by Sean Harris
Trivia: Director Gus Van Sant at one point asked Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to rewrite the script so that Chuckie is killed in a construction accident. Damon and Affleck protested, but reluctantly wrote the scene in. After Van Sant read it, he agreed that it was a terrible idea.
Dialogue On Dialogue: Perhaps the single best way to get at the essence of a character is to explore what they are afraid of? And Skylar is right: Will is afraid of her. He’s afraid of virtually everyone because of his inability to trust, based upon his childhood experiences.
