"Psychic Catcher" classic lines

1,

Sean——So, if I asked you about art, you'd probably give me the skinny on Every art book ever written.

Sean: If I ask you about art, you might suggest a rough argument in art books.

Michelangelo. You know a lot about him: life's work, political aspirations, him and the Pope, sexual orientation, the whole works, right?

Regarding Michelangelo, you know a lot, his political enthusiasm, the conflict with the pope, and the sex, you know him very well?

But I bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling...seeing that.

But you didn't even smell the smell of the Sistine Church? You haven't stood there, looking up at the famous paintings on the ceiling? But I have seen it.

If I ask you about women, you'll probably give me a syllabus of your personal favorites. You may have even been laid a few times. But you can't tell me what it feels like to wake up next to a woman and feel Truly happy.

If I ask about a woman, you can tell me a few treasures, you may have been to bed several times, but you can't say that when you wake up beside a woman, that is the true joy that comes from the heart.

You're a tough kid. And I ask you about war, you'd probably, uh, throw Shakespeare at me, right? "Once more onto the breach, dear friends..."

You are young, if I talk to you about war, you will throw Shakespeare to me, recite "to the battlefield, dear friend"

But you've never been near one. You've never held your best friend's head in your lap...and watched him gasp his last breath, lookin' to you for help.

But you have never been in the battlefield, have not tried to hold your friend's head into your arms, watching him suck the last breath, staring at you, dying to ask for help.

I ask you about love, you'll probably quote me a sonnet. But you've never looked at a woman and been totally vulnerable...

I ask you what is love, you may only get the wind, but you have not tried to fully pour your heart,

Known someone that could level you with her eyes......feelin' like God put an angel on earth just for you......who could rescue you from the depths of hell...

When you are in the four eyes, you know each other's heart. It is like God arranged that the angels will only give you and save you from the abyss of hell. And you wouldn't know what it's like to be her angel...to have that love for her, Be there forever...through anything...through cancer.

You have never experienced the feelings of her care. You have never been obsessed with her love, and know that she is suffering from a terminal illness. You have never tried to feel the loss of love.

And you wouldn't know about sleeping sittin' up in a hospital room for two months, holding her hand, because the doctors could see in your eyes that the terms "visiting hours" don't apply to you.

You have never experienced an unwavering companionship in front of her bed, clinging to her hand, because the doctor knows that you don't even care about the explicit constraints of "visiting time."

You don't know about real loss...'cause that only occurs when you love something more than you love yourself. I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.

You have not experienced the true meaning of "lost"...because you only understand when you love someone more than yourself. I suspect that you have never paid such love.

I look at you.I don't see an intelligent, confident man. I see a cocky, scared-shitless kid.

Now I look at you. I don’t see a smart, confident man, but a shameless, fearful child.

But you're a genius, Will. No one denies that. No one could possibly understand the depths of you.

But you are a genius, Will. This is beyond doubt. No one can fully understand your depth.

But you presume to know everything about me, because you saw a painting of mine. You ripped my fuckin' life apart.

But when you glance at my painting, I thought I understood everything about you? Your madness ruined my life!

You're an orphan, right? Do you think I know the first thing about how hard your life has been? How you feel? Who you are? Because I read Oliver Twist? Does that encapsulate you?

Are you an orphan? But do you think that I can see through your tragic life and know all of you, just because I have read "The Orphan of the Mist"? Could it simplify your life?

Personally, I don't give a shit about all that. Because you know what? I can't learn anything from you I can't read in some fuckin' book.

Personally, I don't care about it. Because you know? I can't get to know you bit by bit through some broken books.

Then I you want to do that, do you? You're terrified of what you might say.

Unless you talk about yourself first, tell me who you are. So I am fascinated by this, I am willing to help you. But you don't want to do this, are you? You are even scared that you will be said to be scared.

Will——This girl's, like, perfect right now. I don't wanna ruin that.

Will: In my eyes, this girl is perfect now. I don't want to destroy this perfection.

Sean-Maybe you're perfect right now. Maybe you don't wanna ruin that. But I think that's a super philosophy. That way, you can go through your entire life without ever having to really know anybody.

Sean: Maybe you are perfect now, maybe you don't want to destroy your own perfection. But I think this is a wonderful philosophy, because you can not know anyone for a lifetime.

People call these things "imperfections," but they're not.That's the good stuff. And then we get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds.

People call it "瑕疵", but it is not. "Imperfect" is the good thing, you can choose who to enter our small world.

You're not perfect. And let me save you the suspense.This girl you met, she isn't perfect either.But the question is whether or not you're perfect for each other.That's the whole deal. That's what intimacy is All about.Now you can know everything in the world, but the only way you're findin' out that one is by givin' it a shot.

You are not perfect, and I don't want to hang your appetite. What I want to say is that the girl you know is not perfect, but the key is whether you can adapt to each other perfectly. Intimacy is what it is. You can understand everything in the world, but the only way to trace the source is to try it for yourself.

Sean-You ever think about gettin' remarried?-My wife's dead.

- Have you considered remarriage? - My wife is dead.

Will- Hence the word "remarried." - She's dead.

- So it is called "remarriage." - My wife is dead.

Will-Well, I think that's a super philosophy, Sean..I mean, that way, you can actually go through the rest of your life...without ever really knowing anybody.

- I think this is a wonderful philosophy... I mean, you can have no one to know anyone for the rest of your life.

That's why I'm not talkin' right now about some girl I saw at a bar 20 years ago...and how I always regretted not goin' over and talkin' to her.

That's why I don't regret my life now because I didn't talk to her at the bar.

I don't regret the 18 years I was married to Nancy.I don't regret the six years I had to give up counseling when she got sick, and I don't regret the last years when she got really sick. And I Sure as hell don't regret missin' a damn game.That's regret.

I don't regret the 18 years of crusade with Nancy. I don't regret giving up counseling for taking care of her seriously. I don't regret the last few years of silent adherence, and I won't regret the game I missed. Just regret, nothing more.

Will——I look at a piano, I see a bunch of keys, three pedals and a box of wood.But Beethoven, Mozart-- They saw it. They could just play.I couldn't paint you a picture. I probably Can't hit the ball out of Fenway.

Will: When I look at the piano, I can only see a bunch of keys, pedals and wood. But for Beethoven and Mozart, they can play naturally as soon as they see the piano. I can't paint, and I can't even play the ball.

Skylan - But you can do my O-chem paper in under an hour.

Skelan: But you will finish my organic chemistry in an hour.

Will -Right. Well, I mean, when it came to stuff like that, I could always just play.

Yes, I just have this kind of talent. This kind of thing is handy.

6,

Most days I wish I never met you,because then I could sleep at night.I didn't have to walk around with the knowledge that there was someone like you out there.I didn't have to watch you throw it all away.

I often hope that I will never meet you, so I will be able to sleep every night. Don't worry about having someone like you outside. I just can't bear to see you squander your talent.

-Do you have a soul mate?-Define that.-Somebody who challenges you.I'm talking about someone who opens up things for you, touches your soul.

- Do you have a "spiritual companion"? - What do you mean? - Those who can rival you. I mean those who can open your heart and touch your heart.

- I got.- Who?- I got plenty.Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke--That's great. They're all dead.- Not to me they're not.

- Yes. - Who? - There are many. Shakespeare, Nietzsche, Frost, O'Connor, Kant, Pope, Locke... - Very good, but they are all dead. - This is not the case for me.

- You don't have a lot of dialogue with them.You can't give back to them.That's what I'm saying.You'll never have that kind of relationship in a world...where you're always afraid To take the first step,because all you see is every negative thing ten miles down the road.

- You can't talk to them, you can't respond to them with your thoughts. This is what I mean. You will never have a soul mate now, because you always see negative things, but they are actually far away.

Sean——There's honor in takin' that 40-minute train ride so those college kids could come in in the morning and their floors are clean.

Sean: You take a 40-minute train every morning to clean the university to create a clean classroom for the students. Of course, there is a honourable glory of labor.

You can be a janitor anywhere.Why did you work at the most prestigious technical college in the whole fuckin' world?Why did you sneak around at night and finish other people's formulas...that only one Or two people in the world could do and then lie about it?'

I just have a small problem. You can be a coworker everywhere, but why do you pick the most prestigious science and technology institutions in the world? Why do you secretly calculate the equations in the world that only one or two people can solve in the night, and lie afterwards?

Cause I don't see a lot of honor in that.

I did not see any glory in it?!

Every day I come by your house, and I pick you up.We go out and have a few drinks and few laughs, and it's great.You know what the best part of my day is?It's for about ten seconds: from when I Pull up to the curb and when I get to your door. 'Cause I think maybe I'll get up there and I'll knock on the door and you won't be there.No "good-bye," no "see Ya later." No nothing. You just left.I don't know much, but I know that.

I come to your residence every day to pick you up. We went out to spend the day and had a good time. But do you know what is the best time of the day? It's only about ten seconds: from parking to walking to the door of your residence. Because whenever I knock on the door, I hope you are not in the house. There is no such thing as "goodbye" or "see you tomorrow." Nothing to say, you just left. I don't know much, but I know very well.

Sean-It's not your fault...

Sean: This is not your fault...
