Good Will Hunting1997

Will:
So, when did you know, like, that she was the one for you?

Sean:
October 21st, 1975.

Will:
Jesus Christ. You know the f***in' date?

Sean:
Oh yeah. Cus' it was game six of the World Series. Biggest game in Red Sox history.

Will:
Yeah, sure.

Sean:
My friends and I had, you know, slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets.

Will:
You got tickets?

Sean:
Yep. Day of the game. I was sittin' in a bar, waitin' for the game to start, and in walks this girl... Oh it was an amazing game, though. You know, bottom of the 8th Carbo ties it up at a 6-6. It went to 12. Bottom of the 12th, in stepped Carlton Fisk. Old Pudge. Steps up to the plate, you know, and he's got that weird stance.

Will:
Yeah, yeah.

Sean:
And BAM! He clocks it. High fly ball down the left field line! Thirty-five thousand people, on their feet, yellin' at the ball, but that's not because of Fisk. He's wavin' at the ball like a madman.

Will:
Yeah, I've seen...

Sean:
He's going, "Get over! Get over! Get OVER!" And then it HITS the foul pole. OH, he goes apeshit, and 35,000 fans, you know, they charge the field, you know?

Will:
Yeah, and he's f***in' bowlin' police out of the way!

Sean:
Goin', "God! Get out of the way! Get 'em away!" Banging people...

Will:
I can't f***in' believe you had tickets to that f***in' game!

Sean:
Yeah!

Will:
Did you rush the field?

Sean:
No, I didn't rush the f***in' field, I wasn't there.

Will:
What?

Sean:
No — I was in a bar havin' a drink with my future wife.

Will:
You missed Pudge Fisk's homerun?

Sean:
Oh yeah.

Will:
To have a f***in' drink with some lady you never met?

Sean:
Yeah, but you shoulda seen her. She was a stunner.

Will:
I don't care if Helen of Troy walks in the room, that's game six!

Sean:
Oh, Helen of Troy...

Will:
Oh my God, and who are these f***in' friends of yours they let you get away with that?

Sean:
Oh... They had to.

Will:
W-w-w-what'd you say to them?

Sean:
I just slid my ticket across the table and I said, "Sorry guys, I gotta see about a girl."

Will:
I gotta go see about a girl?

Sean:
Yeah.

Will:
That's what you said? And they let you get away with that?

Sean:
Oh yeah. They saw in my eyes that I meant it.

Will:
You're kiddin' me.

Sean:
No, I'm not kiddin' you, Will. That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar twenty years ago and how I always regretted not going over and talking to her. I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy. I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick. And I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I sure as hell don't regret missin' the damn game. That's regret.

[pause]

Will:
Wow... [smiles] Woulda been nice to catch that game, though.

Sean:
[shrugs sheepishly] I didn't know Pudge was gonna hit a homer!
