Good Will Hunting (1997).

This quote that Ben Affleck says to Matt in the film is too impressive: "I come to your house every day to pick you up, and we go out to drink and laugh, that's great!" But my best moment of the day is only ten seconds, from parking to your doorstep... Every time I knock on the door, I hope you're gone, don't say goodbye, nothing, and you're gone. I don't know much, but I know it. ”
