How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Good Will Hunting.
Quote #7
SKYLAR: You know there are very smart people here at Harvard, and even they have to study because this is really hard.
Skylar recognizes how insanely smart Will is. But she also needs to remind him that for the rest of the world, homework is hard and they have to try their best to learn. It's not like Will can always be there to figure everything out for her.
Quote #8
SKYLAR: No. I—I've got to learn this.
All Will wants to do is goof around and hang out, but Skylar is focused on getting the most out of her expensive education. It's true that everything she does is easy for Will, but that doesn't change the fact that she needs an education if she's going to do what she wants with her life.
Quote #9
SKYLAR: Growing up in England, you know, I went to a very nice school. You know, it was kind of progressive, organic, do-it-yourself, private school. Then Harvard. And then med-school. You know, if you think about it, at the end, my brain's going to be worth two hundred and fifty thousand dollars...
Skylar isn't naïve about how much has been spent on her education, especially compared to Will, who has never spent a dime on school. But all that aside, Skylar has chosen a certain path in life and she's determined to stay on it.
