>Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm workin' at the N.S.A. and somebody puts a code on my desk, somethin' no one else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it, maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. And once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels are hidin'. Fifteen hundred people that I never met, I never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area,' 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called 'cause they were out pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie over there takin' shrapnel in the ass. He comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks.

>Meanwhile he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so that we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the little skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helpin' my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. They're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, maybe they even took the liberty of hirin' an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs. It ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work. He can't afford to drive, so he's walkin' to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks because the schrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorroids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State.
>So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure, fuck it, while I'm at it, why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president.
*ahem* What did he mean by this?
> $2.50 a gallon was considered an insane gas price in the late '90s
Fucking hell
>employment ethics from the guy who trades the world for pussy and gets into construction-yard fights despite being well into his twenties
I know this part was meant to be really poignant and cool, but it just emphasizes how selfish and infantile he was.
Will's an asshole, but the point of the movie is that you make your own happiness.
For some reason it was a 5/10 britbong, not hanging with his retarded Boston buddies.
Will should have done stand-up.
>5/10
Is this all you care about? She had a highly endearing personality.
No she didn't. She was a stupid roastie.
Why not just not join the fucking army
Fuck me this made me think so hard my brain is diamonds. My fedora selftipped itself into the fucking stratosphere.
Is this some weird copypasta or was this actually in the movie?
kino
LITERALLY this
What? Matt Damon was the first person she had sex with.
>the point of the movie is that you make your own happiness
If a movie ever wants to attempt to make that point and be taken seriously, they need to hire ugly actors, not male models.
You seriously haven't seen Good Will Hunting? Yes it's in the fucking movie.

You're right. And Robin Williams' character called him out for it. Will KNOWS all of these things, but he doesn't feel them. His fast operating mind is an elaborate, well-oiled defense that will doom him if he doesn't defeat it. He conquers it by not trying to be a k ow it all. He's essentially a non-faggy David Foster Wallace who pursues a new road versus eventually jumping off a cliff and killing himself, which was the original trajectory he was on, as evidenced by OP's quote.
>actually arguing with people who use the term roastie seriously
