Will Quote #903

Quote from Will in All Guts, No Glory

Professor Mansfield: Reality is, reality changes constantly. Yesterday's reality may not necessarily be today's. Everybody got a pencil? Okay, good. Hold it up. Little higher. Little lower. Perfect, right there. Now break it in half. What a sound. From now on, we're going to be using our minds.
Will: Hey, hey, give me a pencil. Give me a pencil.
Professor Mansfield: This course isn't about taking notes. This course is about creative thinking. All right, look, conservatives, right? Liberals, rappers, skinheads, nudists and televangelists, they all have something in common. You know what it is?
Will: Ooh, they all been on Montel Williams.
Professor Mansfield: See, I can't hear you because you no longer exist.
Will: Oh, but you could shove me, though, right?
Professor Mansfield: What they have in common is they all have a distinct version of the truth. But do we really care what the truth is? No, not really. We want to know, "How come nobody loves me?" "Where's my next paycheck coming from?" "How come I never get any breaks in life?" Okay, let's get on our feet. We need a couple of volunteers to start with. Let's get some people who have a personal philosophy that is rooted in, oh, I don't know, sex. [all hands go up] Okay, that's what I thought. Nothing kinky, we just need two. Denise, right? Denise and... [closes the door on Will] Evan. Good. All right, right up there. Now, don't be nervous. You're gonna engage in a little dialectic. Dialectic is a ten-dollar word, and it means "debate." [closes the blinds on Will]
Janitor: [to Will] Man! I should have never dropped out of his class.

Quote from Philip

Will: Uncle Phil, let me tell you, this dude is hilarious. I mean, he's fun, he's funny. He makes me think about stuff in a way that I never even looked at it before. And I dropped his class.
Philip: Let me guess. Western Philosophy, right?
Will: How does everybody know that?
Philip: Because every time you're faced with a challenge, you run for cover.
Will: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Come on, now, that is not true, Uncle Phil. I mean, this whole college thing is just kind of new to me.
Philip: Oh, bull! It's old territory. I mean, you're always going on about how you want to be out on your own and get respect. But you don't do anything to earn it.
Will: Oh, look, I think it's my break time.
Philip: What the hell is wrong with you, anyway? I mean, you're smart, you're charming. You have gifts that other people would kill to have. And what do you do? You throw it away by taking the easy road.
Will: Uncle Phil, this is one class.
Philip: No, this is not one class, Will. This is your life. It's not my life, it's not Carlton's life and you only get out of it what you put into it. And you are off to one lousy start.
Will: But enough about me, Uncle Phil. Let's talk about you.
Philip: That's exactly what I'm talking about.
