    From Good Will Hunting:

    Sean Maguire (Robin Williams)

    "If I ask you about women, you'd probably give me a syllabus about your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel truly happy. You're a tough kid. And I'd ask you about war, you'd probably throw Shakespeare at me, right, "once more unto the breach dear friends." But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap, watch him gasp his last breath looking to you for help. I'd ask you about love, you'd probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable. Known someone that could level you with her eyes, feeling like God put an angel on earth just for you. Who could rescue you from the depths of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel, to have that love for her, be there forever, through anything, through cancer. And you wouldn't know about sleeping sitting up in the hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes, that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you. You don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much..."

    • This is one of my favorite movies ever. I love Matt and Robin in that movie and makes me cry evertime I see it. Being from close to Boston myself, it made it even better for me..

    • How can that be 'a line'?

      smart9426

      by smart9426 on April 8th, 2007

    • Technically, you're right. This is a scene. But, it's so over flowing with one great LINE after another, and the end just tops it off...that it gets AB dispensation! lol

      Redhawk

    • There is no dialog interruption. I would classify it as a line. Sort of like the A-B-C speech in Glengarry

      Someguy

      by Someguy on April 8th, 2007

    • You can't re-classify 'a line' to suit your choice.Its technically NOT a line, as previously agreed

    • who cares??? its a good scene!!

      El Fabrizio

      by El Fabrizio on April 9th, 2007

    • Ohhh but Glengarry...lol come on now...it was one long azzed run-on sentence at times...good flick, but you know it was! Typically a Line is one sentence.

    • glengarry..... i didnt like that movie as much as i did this one. but maybe thats blinded by the fact that i really like matt damon's acting and that robin williams is just amazing. btw im a guy. and im not gay.

      El Fabrizio

      by El Fabrizio on April 9th, 2007

    • lol I'm a gal, and I am a lesbian...but I LOVE both Damon and Williams...they are top drawer all the way! And, it's ok...you can appreciate ANY guy's outstanding qualities without having to be gay...it's allowed! <wink> I felt the same about Glengarry as you say Good Will was simply OUTSTANDING!
