SEAN
--I don’’t want your trophy and I don’’t
give a shit about it! ’’Cause I knew
you when!! You and Jack and Tom
Sanders. I knew you when you were
homesick and pimply-faced and didn’’t
know what side of the bed to piss on!
LAMBEAU
That’’s right! You were smarter than
us then and you’’re smarter than us
now! So don’’t blame me for how your
life turned out. It’’s not my fault.
SEAN
I don’’t blame you! It’’s not about
that! It’’s about the boy! ’’Cause
he’’s a good kid! And I won’’t see this
happen to him-- I won’’t see you make
him feel like a failure too!
LAMBEAU
He won’’t be a failure!
SEAN
If you push him into something, if you
ride him--
LAMBEAU
You’’re wrong, Sean. I’’m where I am
today because I was pushed. And because
I learned to push myself!
SEAN
He’’s not you!
A beat. Lambeau turns, something catches his eye. Sean turns
to look, IT’’S WILL. He is standing in the doorway.
WILL
I can come back.
LAMBEAU
No, that’’s fine, Will. I was just
leaving.
There is an awkward moment as Lambeau gets his coat and leaves.
WILL
Well, I’’m here.
(beat)
So, is that my problem? I’’m afraid of
being abandoned? That was easy.
SEAN
Look, a lot of that stuff goes back a
long way. And it’’s between me and him
and it has nothing to do with you.
WILL
Do you want to talk about it?
Sean smiles. A beat. Will sees a FILE on Sean’’s desk.
WILL (cont’’d)
What’’s that?
SEAN
Oh, this is your file. I have to send
it back to the Judge with my evaluation.
WILL
You’’re not going to fail me are you?
Sean smiles.
WILL (cont’’d)
So what’’s it say?
SEAN
You want to read it?
WILL
No.
(beat)
Have you had any experience with that?
SEAN
Twenty years of counselling you see a
lot of--
WILL
--No, have you had any experience with
that?
SEAN
Yes.
WILL
(smiles)
It sure ain’’t good.
INT. WILL’’S CHILDHOOD APARTMENT -- FLASHBACK

CUT BACK TO:
INT. SEAN’’S OFFICE -- DAY
SEAN
(after a pause)
My dad used to make us walk down to
the park and collect the sticks he was
going to beat us with. Actually the
worst of the beatings were between me
and my brother. We would practice on
each other trying to find sticks that
would break.
