Robin Williams Good Will Hunting about a girl

    作者 Yuna: Robin Williams

    There was never a soulmate speech from Robin Williams. What he actually said was that he figured out she was the one by giving up Game 6 of the '75 World Series, Carlton Fisk's homer included, so he could sit in a bar with a woman he'd only just met. Supposedly he dropped his ticket on the table and told his friends he had to go see about a girl. That one line, according to the take here, is Good Will Hunting in miniature. And the definition of romance that falls out of it isn't grand gestures. It's picking a person over the story you'd get to tell forever. Good Will Hunting

    So when did you know, like, that she was the one for you? October 21st, 1975. Jesus Christ, you know the f***ing day? Oh, yeah. Because it was Game 6 of the World Series. Biggest game in Red Sox history? Yeah, sure. My friends and I had slept out on the sidewalk all night to get tickets. You got tickets? Day of the game. We're sitting in a bar waiting for the game to start. And in walks this girl. It was an amazing game, though. Bottom of the eighth, Carbo tied it up with a 6-6. It went to 12. Bottom of the 12th, in stepped Carlton Fisk. Old Pudge. Steps up to the plate. You know, he's got that weird stand. Yeah, yeah. He clocks it, you know. High fly ball on the left field line. 35,000 people on their feet. Yelling at the ball, but that's nothing. Fisk, he's waving at the ball like a madman. Get over. Get over. Get over. And then it hits a foul pole. He goes there. And 35,000 fans, you know, they charge the field, you know? Yeah, and he's f***ing home. He's like, oh, I'm going to get on the... Get out of the way! Get out of the way! I can't believe you had tickets in that f***ing game! Did you rush the field? No, I didn't rush the f***ing field. I wasn't there. What? No, I was in a bar having a drink with my future wife. You missed Pudge Fist's home run? Oh, yeah. To have a f***ing drink with some lady you never met? Yeah, but you should have seen her. She was a stunner. I don't care if... Oh, no, she lit up the room. I don't care if Helena Troy walks into the room. That's game six. Oh, my God. And who are these friends of yours? They let you get away with that? They had to. What did you say to them? Just slid my ticket across the table, and I said, sorry, guys. I got to see about a girl.
