1:40:02
Why do you think he does that?
You have any fuckin' clue why?
1:40:05
He can handle the problems.
He can handle the work.
He obviously handled you.
1:40:09
Listen to me.
Why is he hiding?
1:40:11
Why doesn't
he trust anybody?
1:40:13
Because the first thing
that happened to him,
1:40:15
he was abandoned by the people
who were supposed to love him the most.
1:40:17
Don't give me
that Freudian crap.
1:40:19
Why does he hang out with those
retarded gorillas, as you call them?
1:40:22
Because any one of them, if he asked
them to, would take a bat to your head.
1:40:25
- That's called loyalty.
- Yeah, that's very touching.
1:40:28
Who's he handling?
He pushes people away before
they have a chance to leave him.
1:40:31
It's a defense mechanism,
all right?
1:40:34
For 20 years, he's been
alone because of that.
1:40:36
If you push him right now, it's gonna
be the same thing all over again.
1:40:39
I'm not gonna
let that happen to him.
1:40:41
- Don't you do that.
- What?
1:40:43
Don't infect him with the idea
that it's okay to quit, that
it's okay to be a failure.
1:40:46
Because it's not okay, Sean!
1:40:48
And if you're angry at me
for being successful, for
being what you could have been--
1:40:52
- I'm not angry at you.
- Oh, yes, you're angry at me.
1:40:55
You resent me, but I'm not gonna
apologize for any success I've had.
1:40:59
You're angry at me for doing
what you could have done!
1:41:02
But ask yourself, Sean--
Ask yourself...
1:41:04
if you want Will to feel that way--
if you want him to feel like a failure?
1:41:07
You arrogant shit!
1:41:09
That's why I don't come to the
goddamn reunions, 'cause I can't
stand that look in your eye.
1:41:13
- That condescending, embarrassed look.
- Oh, come on, Sean.
1:41:16
You think I'm a failure.
I know who I am.
1:41:18
I'm proud of what I do. It was
a conscious choice. I didn't fuck up!
1:41:23
And you and your cronies think
I'm some sort of pity case.
1:41:25
You and your kiss-ass chorus following
you around going, "The Field's medal!"
1:41:29
Why are you still so
fuckin' afraid of failure?
1:41:32
It's about my medal, isn't it?
Oh, God, I could go home and get
it for you. You can have it.
1:41:36
Shove the medal up
your fuckin' ass, all right?
1:41:39
'Cause I don't give
a shit about your medal,
1:41:41
because I knew you before
you were a mathematical god,
1:41:43
when you were pimple-faced
and homesick and didn't know
what side of the bed to piss on.
1:41:47
Yeah, you were smarter than me then
and you're smarter than me now.
1:41:49
So don't blame me for
how your life turned out.
1:41:51
I don't blame you!
It's not about you!
1:41:53
You mathematical dick!
It's about the boy!
1:41:56
He's a good kid! And I won't
see you fuck him up like you're
tryin' to fuck up me right now.
