Good Will Hunting - That`s regret

The main story of this movie was made by Matt Damon, as he was doing an assignment in Harvard.

WILL

Do you ever wonder what your life would

be like if you never met your wife?

 

SEAN

What? Do I wonder if I'd be better

off if I never met my wife?

 

Will starts to clarify his question.

 

SEAN (cont'd)

No, that's okay. It's an important

question. 'Cause you'll have your bad

times, which wake you up to the good

stuff you weren't paying attention to.

And you can fail, as long as you're

trying hard. But there's nothing worse

than regret.

 

WILL

You don't regret meetin' your wife?

 

SEAN

Why? Because of the pain I feel now?

I have regrets Will, but I don't regret

a singel day I spent with her.

 

WILL

When did you know she was the one?

 

SEAN

October 21, 1975. Game six of the

World Series. Biggest game in Red Sox

history, Me and my friends slept out

on the sidewalk all night to get

tickets. We were sitting in a bar

waiting for the game to start and in

walks this girl. What a game that

was. Tie game in the bottom of the

tenth inning, in steps Carlton Fisk,

hit a long fly ball down the left

field line. Thirty-five thousand fans

on their feet, screamin' at the ball

to stay fair. Fisk is runnin' up the

baseline, wavin' at the ball like a

madman. It hits the foul pole, home

run. Thirty-five thousand people

went crazy. And I wasn't one of them.

 

WILL

Where were you?

 

SEAN

I was havin' a drink with my future wife.

 

WILL

You missed Pudge Fisk's homerun to

have a drink with a woman you had never

met?

 

SEAN

That's right.

 

WILL

So wait a minute. The Red Sox haven't

won a World Series since nineteen

eighteen, you slept out for tickets,

games gonna start in twenty minutes,

in walks a girl you never seen before,

and you give your ticket away?

 

SEAN

You should have seen this girl. She

lit up the room.

 

WILL

I don't care if Helen of Troy walked

into that bar! That's game six of the

World Series!

 

Sean smiles.

 

WILL (cont'd)

And what kind of friends are these?

They let you get away with that?

 

SEAN

I just slid my ticket across the table

and said "sorry fellas, I gotta go see

about a girl."

 

WILL

"I gotta go see about a girl"? What

did they say?

 

SEAN

They could see that I meant it.

 

WILL

You're kiddin' me.

 

SEAN

No Will, I'm not kiddin' you. If I

had gone to see that game I'd be in

here talkin' abouta girl I saw at a

bar twenty years ago. And how I always

regretted not goin' over there and

talkin' to her. I don't regret the

eighteen years we were married. I

don't regret givin' up couseling for

six years when she got sick. I don't

regret being by her side for the last

two years when things got real bad.

And I sure as Hell don't regret missing

that damn game.

 

A beat. Will is impressed.

 

WILL

Would have been nice to catch that

game though.

 

SEAN

(breaking)

Well hell, I didn't know Pudge was

gonna hit the home run.

 

They laugh.
