Will: You're chucking me?
Sean: Yeah, get the fuck outta here.
Will: No, no, no, time's not up yet.
Sean: Yeah, it is.
Will: I'm not leaving. No.
Sean: You're not gonna answer, you're wastin' my time.
Will: I thought we were friends.
Sean: Playtime's over, okay?
Will: Why are you kicking me out? You're lecturing me on life? Look at you, you fucking burnout. What winds your clock?
Sean: Workin' with you.
Will: Where's your soul mate? You wanna talk about soul mates? Where is she?
Sean: Dead.
Will: That's right. She's fuckin' dead. She fucking dies and you just cash in your chips and you walk away?
Sean: At least I played a hand.
Will: You played a hand and you lost. You lost a big fucking hand. Some people will lose a big hand like that and have the sack to ante up again.
Sean: Look at me. What do you wanna do? You and your bullshit. You got a bullshit answer for everybody. But I ask you a very simple question and you can't give me a straight answer, because you don't know. I'll see ya, Bopeep.
Will: Fuck you.
Sean: You're the shepherd. Shepherd. White little prick.
在对话之前Sean已经和Will针对工作的选择问题有过一番针锋相对。Will说如果可能，自己想当牧羊人。但用Sean的话说，如果你真的觉得做那些会给你带来满足的感觉，为什么要跑到一流的大学来当清洁工，为什么偷偷完成全世界只有几个人能完成的数学题。但Will还是不肯面对事情本质、依旧逃避的态度激怒了Sean，于是生气的赶Will走。这才有了大家听到的这一段。
You’re chucking me? Chuck，丢弃；驱逐。No, no, no, time’s not up yet. Time’s up. 时间到了。Will不肯走，于是Sean说他不肯给自己真正的答案就是在浪费自己时间，继续赶Will离开。
这下激怒了Will，他接连抛出了三个问题：Why are you kicking me out? 为什么赶我走。Kick sb out踢出；赶走。You’re lecturing me on life? 这句话虽然是陈述句结构，但是用了疑问语气，相当于一个一般疑问句，你是在给我讲人生大道理吗？What winds your clock?Wind clock本意是指给钟表上发条，这里用于指代让人重新焕发生机。这一句里Will还把Sean称为是fucking burnout。Burnout，原意指烧尽了的，这里被翻译为“该死的糟老头儿”。
接下来Will将Sean问他的问题 “Do you have a soul mate?” 抛回给了Sean。之前Will说他的朋友就是自己的灵魂伴侣，结果被否定掉，因为他算亲人；又说尼采，莎士比亚等是，也被否定掉，因为他们不会对你的想法予以回应。不过，Sean的答案也好不到哪里。Dead。死去了。这给了Will进一步反击的理由。因为死掉了，就cash in your chips and walk way? Cash in chips原指赌场里将筹码换成钱。这里指鸣金收兵，不再尝试。再比如：In the Depression, many small businesses had to cash in their chips. 在经济大萧条时期，很多小企业只好关门歇业。
但Sean反驳说at least I played a hand. Play a hand指打扑克时出牌，这里正好对应了上面cash in chips的用法，都是赌博用语，来表示自己至少曾经努力过，经历过。
Will对此的反应是，你是出了牌，但你输了，然后不敢再玩儿。可是很多人一样输了，确敢于have the sack to ante up again. Ante up, 又一个打牌时的用语，还是“下注”的意思。Sack本意是麻袋。整句话是说，即便输了，还是有足够的勇气再做一次努力。
咄咄逼人的Will攻势却在最后Sean诚恳又平和的问句What do you wanna do? 后衰弱下来。看到Will无话可说，Sean再一次让他离开，并称他为Bopeep。Bopeep指“藏猫，躲猫猫游戏”，在这里指Will躲闪着不肯敞开心扉。
两个同样很天才的人过起招来是你来我往，不过，诚意也许就是可以定乾坤的那一神招。Sean对Will是发自内心的关怀，这样的关怀每个人都能体会的到。也只有真正关心的人，才能将问题问到点子上，问到让对方不得不认真思考。也许，对话最后的问题能问倒不只是Will一个人。如果您是Will，你能清楚地回答出来吗？好了。几部电影下来，我们已经可以总结出一个“好”老师必备的特质了，那就是，能够帮助学生心灵成长的老师才是真正的好老师。下期，让我们一同“邂逅浪漫”。
