　　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
　　From a child’’s P.O.V. we see a man， partially obscured by a
　　doorframe. The man turns toward the P.O.V.
　　
　　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.
