　　So Christ， call her up.
　　
　　WILL
　　Why？ So I can realize she’’s not so
　　smart. That she’’s boring. You don’’t
　　get it. Right now she’’s perfect， I
　　don’’t want to ruin that.
　　
　　SEAN
　　And right now you’’re perfect too.
　　Maybe you don’’t want to ruin that.
　　
　　Will says nothing.
　　
　　SEAN （cont’’d）
　　Well， I think that’’s a great philosophy
　　Will， that way you can go through your
　　entire life without ever having to
　　really know anybody.
　　
　　Sean looks directly at Will， who looks away. A beat.
　　
　　SEAN （cont’’d）
　　My wife used to turn the alarm clock
　　off in her sleep. I was late for work
　　all the time because in the middle of
　　the night she’’d roll over and turn the
　　damn thing off. Eventually I got a
　　second clock and put it under my side
　　of the bed， but it got to where she was
　　gettin’’ to that one too. She was
　　afraid of the dark， so the closet light
　　was on all night. Thing kept me up
　　half the night. Eventually I’’d fall
　　asleep， out of sheer exhaustion and
　　not wake up when I was supposed to
　　cause she’’d have already gotten to my
　　alarms.
　　
　　Will smiles， Sean takes a beat.
　　
　　SEAN （cont’’d）
　　My wife’’s been dead two years， Will.
　　And when I think about her， those are
　　the things I think about most. Little
　　idiosyncrasies that only I knew about.
　　Those made her my wife. And she had
　　the goods on me too. Little things I
　　do out of habit. People call these
　　things imperfections Will. It’’s just
　　who we are. And we get to choose who
　　we’’re going to let into out weird
　　little worlds. You’’re not perfect.
　　And let me save you the suspense， this
　　girl you met isn’’t either. The question
　　is， whether or not you’’re perfect for
　　each other. You can know everything
　　in the world， but the only way you’’re
　　findin’’ that one out is by giving it a
　　shot. You sure won’’t get the answer
　　from an old fucker like me. And even
　　if I did know， I wouldn’’t tell you.
　　
　　Will smiles. A beat.
　　
　　WILL
　　Why not？ You told me every other
　　fuckin’’ thing. You talk more than any
　　shrink I ever met.
　　
　　Sean laughs.
　　
　　SEAN
　　I teach this shit， I didn’’t say I knew
　　how to do it.
　　
　　WILL
　　You ever think about gettin’’ remarried？
　　
　　SEAN
　　My wife’’s dead.
　　
　　WILL
　　Hence， the word remarried.
　　
　　SEAN
　　My wife’’s dead.
　　
　　WILL
　　Well I think that’’s a wonderful
　　philosophy， Sean. That way you can go
　　through the rest of your life without
　　having to really know anyone.
　　
　　A beat. Sean smiles.
　　
　　SEAN
　　Time’’s up.
　　
　　CUT TO:
　　
　　EXT. SKYLAR’’S DORM -- AFTERNOON
　　
　　Will is waiting outside the door for someone to come out -- so
　　he can go in.
　　
　　INT. SKYLAR’’S DORM -- AFTERNOON
　　
　　The door to Skylar’’s dorm is partially open. Will stands
　　outside while Skylar remains on the threshold.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　Where have you been？
　　
　　WILL
　　I’’m sorry， I been real busy.
　　
　　SKYLAR
　　You were busy？ You know， I really was
　　waiting for you to call me.
