Will: What do I wanna way outta here for? I’m gonna live here the rest of my fuckin’ life. We’ll be neighbors, have little kids, take ’em to Little League up at Foley Field.
Chuckie: Look, you’re my best friend, so don’t take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you’re still livin’ here, comin’ over to my house, watchin’ the Patriots games, workin’ construction, I’ll fuckin’ kill ya. That’s not a threat, that’s a fact, I’ll fuckin’ kill ya.
Will: What the fuck you talkin’ about?
Chuckie: You got somethin’ none of us have…
Will: Oh, come on! What? Why is it always this? I mean, I fuckin’ owe it to myself to do this or that. What if I don’t want to?
Chuckie: No. No, no no no. Fuck you, you don’t owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me. Cuz tomorrow I’m gonna wake up and I’ll be 50, and I’ll still be doin’ this shit. And that’s all right. That’s fine. I mean, you’re sittin’ on a winnin’ lottery ticket. And you’re too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that’s bullshit. ‘Cause I’d do fuckin’ anything to have what you got. So would any of these fuckin’ guys. It’d be an insult to us if you’re still here in 20 years. Hangin’ around here is a fuckin’ waste of your time.

Great, great dialogue and it helped win Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Academy Awards for Best Screenplay for, “Good Will Hunting,” which came out 15 years ago today.

Raise your glass tonight….Today in 1933 Prohibition was ended in the United States. The 21st Amendment repealed the 18th, which banned the sale, manufacturing and distribution of alcohol. Prohibition never really worked and led to mobsters and gangsters everywhere taking root and moving product. Kinda sounds a lot like what’s going on today with Mary Jane.

Speaking of corruption, “Serpico” hit screens today in 1973. Al Pacino followed up his work in “The Godfather,” with the true story of NY cop Frank Serpico, who went undercover to expose all the bad cops in NYC. Pacino was nominated for Best Actor, but lost out to Jack Lemmon, who won for, “Save the Tiger.” Pacino was in very good company as the other losers were Marlon Brando, Robert Redford and Jack Nicholson. Try to find a more heavyweight group of losers than that. You can’t.

Our final Hall of Fame movie that debuted on December 5 was released in 1984. “Beverly Hills Cop” was the role that shot Eddie Murphy into the stratosphere. It raked in $234 million dollars, making it the biggest film of the year, narrowly edging another classic comedy, “Ghostbusters.” Axel Foley was the perfect, smart-ass, cool character for Murphy to play.

The Rolling Stones released their 10th album today in 1969. “Let It Bleed” received five stars from both Rolling Stone and AllMusic and placed #32 on RS top 500 albums list from 2003. “Gimme Shelter,” “Let It Bleed,” “Midnight Rambler,” “Love in Vain,” and “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” made for one of the Stones best albums.

We’ll go a little further down the musical food chain with our last two items. You can poke fun, but they’ve both had fantastic careers themselves. Today in 2003, Chris Martin married Gwyneth Paltrow.
