How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Good Will Hunting.
Quote #1
WILL: You dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a f**in' education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late charges at the public library.
When he's smack-talking Clarke at the Harvard bar, Will reminds us all that an education is only as good as what you do with it. There's no point in dropping a ton of money on your education if all you're going to do is repeat what you've read in books. You need to have some sort of original thinking.
Quote #2
CLARK: Yeah, but I will have a degree. And you'll be serving my kids fries at a drive-thru on our way to a skiing trip.
In his final effort to save face, Clarke reminds Will that there actually is a reason for spending so much money on his education, because the degree he gets from Harvard will get him a good job. But Will isn't impressed. In his mind, having a good job can't cover up the fact that someone has no original thoughts in his head.
Quote #3
SKYLAR: Well, I've got to go. Gotta get up early and waste some more money on my overpriced education.
Skylar has heard Will criticize a Harvard education in his argument with Clarke. He didn't mean to make Skylar feel bad, but there's still some part of her that realizes he's right, even though she makes a joke about it.
