"And now I truly begin to understand that I am also a thing in this world. Not like the doll who is writing a few feet away with all the mindfulness of water choosing a path downhill. Something more. But also not the same as this fainting man, made of soft flesh. Somehow, I am. And, I tell you, I find it a strange thing, to be... From within this little world in my head, I am making decisions."

“They are dying,” he says, voice muffled. “The long-lived ones will do anything to survive. They control everything. They know everything.”...
“You tried to kill me,” I say.
Oleg rolls off the bed and onto his knees. He looks up at me, hair wild, blood smeared on his face. Blue and red flashes of light from police cars outside roll off his gray skin. His hands are clasped together, as if he is praying.
“I tried to protect you,” he says. “You learned their name.”
“Whose name? I ask.
“You should run from here.
They are coming.”
“Who!? Who is coming, Oleg!?”
“Miss June,” he says, tears in his eyes. “It’s the
automat.”

“WILL
What am I so scared of?
SKYLAR
Well, what aren't you scared of? You live in this safe little world where no one challenges you and you're scared shitless to do anything else but defend yourself because that would mean you'd hafta' change.
WILL
Oh no. Don't, don't, don't tell me about my world. Don't tell me about my world! I mean you just wanna have you fling with like the guy from the other side of town. Then you're going to go off to Stanford, you're going to marry some rich prick who your parents will approve of and just sit around with the other trust fund babies and talk about how you went slumming too, once.
SKYLAR
Why are you saying this? What is your obsession with this money? My father died when I was 13 and I inherited this money. Nearly every day I wake up, and I wish that I could give it back, that I would give it back in a second if it meant I could have one more day with him, but I can't and that's my life and I deal with it. So don't put your shit on me, when you're the one that's afraid.
WILL
I'm afraid? Wha--wha--what am I afraid of, huh? What the fuck am I afraid of?
SKYLAR
You're afraid of me. You're afraid that I won't love you back. And you know what? I'm afraid too. Fuck it. I want to give it a shot and at least I'm honest with you.
WILL
I'm not honest with you?
SKYLAR
No, what about your twelve brothers?
WILL
All right.
SKYLAR
No. You're not going. You're not leaving.
WILL
What do you want to know? What? That I don't have twelve brothers?
SKYLAR
Yes.
WILL
That I'm a fuckin' orphan!
SKYLAR
Ye
WILL
No, you don't wanna hear that!
SKYLAR
I didn't know that.
WILL
No, you don't wanna hear that.
SKYLAR
I didn't know it.
WILL
You don't wanna hear that I had fuckin' cigarettes put out on me when I was a little kid.
SKYLAR
Oh...I didn't know that...
WILL
That this isn't fuckin' surgery, that the motherfucker stabbed me. You don't wanna hear that shit, Skylar.
SKYLAR
I do wanna hear it.
WILL
Don't tell me you want to hear that shit!
SKYLAR
I want to hear it because I want to help you. Because I want to--
WILL
Help me! What the fuck? What I got a fucking sign on my back? That says "save me?"
SKYLAR
No.
WILL
Do I look like I need that?
SKYLAR
No. God, I just want to be with you because I love you!
WILL
Don't bullshit me. Don't bullshit me. Don't you fuckin' bullshit me!
SKYLAR
I love you. I wanna hear you say that you don't love me. Because if you say that, then I won't call you, and I won't be in your life...
WILL
I don't love you.”

“SEAN
My father was an alcoholic. Mean fuckin' drunk. He'd come home hammered, lookin' to wail on somebody. So, I had to provoke him so he wouldn't go after my mother and little brother. Interesting nights were when he wore his rings.

SEAN
Why the wrench?
WILL

SEAN
Your foster father?

I didn't know you had.
WILL
Yeah...I did.
SEAN

SEAN

sobbing) Oh God....Oh God, I'm so sorry...” (Miramax, Good Will Hunting transcript)

Wish Fulfillment
"Soon Tigger and Roo were bouncing through the Hundred-Acre Wood. "Bet I can bounce twice as high as you can!" Said Roo, giggling. "Tiggers can bounce twice as high as anybody!" Answered Tigger. So Tigger and Roo began a bouncing contest, bouncing over rocks and fallen branches along the way. When they reached the Trash Tree, Tigger and Roo were surprised to find that their pots had all disappeared."
