Sean : You ever been on a plane?
Will : No, but it's a fuckin' joke.It
works better if I tell it in the first person.
Sean : Yeah, it does.
Will : I have been laid, you know?
Sean : Really? Good for you. Big time. Big time, huh?
Will : I
went on a date last week.
Sean : How'd it go?
Will : It was good.
Sean : Goin' out again?
Will : I don't know.
Sean : Why?
Will : Haven't called her.
Sean : Christ, you're an amateur.
Will : I know what I'm doin'. Yeah. Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doin'.
Yeah, but this girl was, like, you know, beautiful. She's smart. She's fun.
She's different from most of the girls I've been with.
Sean : So call her up, Romeo.
Will : Why, so I can realize she's not that smart. That she's fuckin' boring? You
know, I mean, you don't-- This girl's, like, fuckin' perfect right now. I don't
wanna ruin that.
Sean : Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't wanna ruin that. But I
think that's a super philosophy, Will. That way, you can go through your entire
life without ever having to really know anybody. My wife used to fart when she
was nervous. She had all sorts of wonderful idiosyncrasies. You know, she used
to fart in her sleep. Just thought I'd share that with you. One night it was so
loud, it woke the dog up. She woke up and gone, like, "Was that you?" I said,
"Yeah." I didn't have
the heart to tell
her. Oh, God.
Will : She woke herself up?
Sean : Yeah. Oh, Christ. But, Will, she's been dead two years and that's the shit
I remember. It's wonderful stuff, you know? Little things like that. Yeah, but
those are the things I miss the most. Those little idiosyncrasies that only I
knew about. That's what made her my wife. Boy, and she had
the goods on me too.
She knew all my little peccadillos. People call these things "imperfections,"
but they're not. That's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let
into our weird little worlds. You're not perfect, sport. And
let me save you the suspense. This girl you met, she isn't perfect either. But
the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other. That's the whole
deal. That's what intimacy is all about. Now you can know everything in the
world, sport, but the only way you're findin' out that one is by givin' it a
shot. You certainly won't learn from an old fucker like me. Even if I did know,
I wouldn't tell a pissant like
you.
Will : Yeah, why not? You told me every other fuckin' thing. Jesus Christ. Fuckin'
talk more than any shrink I ever seen in my life.
Sean : I teach the shit. I didn't say I knew how to do it.
Will : Yeah. You ever think about gettin' remarried?
Sean : My wife's dead.
Will : Hence the word "remarried."
Sean : She's dead.
Will : Yeah, well, I think that's a super philosophy, Sean. I mean, that way, you
can actually go through the rest of your life without ever really knowing
anybody.
Sean : Time's up. |
