In 1993, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon found a new apartment in Los Angeles. Two imaginative young artists chose this fairytale house. This unusual little house was created in 1923 by the French architect Jean-Louis Egasse and the owners Albert and Constance Braasch. The cottage draws inspiration from French architecture and Scandinavian flair, and adds some quirky character elements, such as stained glass windows, wall reliefs and rough woodwork, and a playful asymmetrical arched entrance. It was here that Ben and Matt completed the script for Good Will Hunting. In 2013, it was listed as a historical and cultural building by the City of Los Angeles.

Good Will Hunting quotes

  • Lambeau: You're angry at me for doing what you could have done; but ask yourself, Sean. Ask yourself if you want Will to feel that way, if you want him to feel like a failure.

    Sean: Oh, you arrogant shit! That's why I don't come to the goddamned reunions, 'cause I can't stand that look in your eye. Ya know, that condescending, embarrassed look. You think I'm a failure. I know who I am, and I'm proud of what I do. I was a conscientious choice, I didn't fuck up! And you and your cronies think I'm some sort of pity case. You and your kiss-ass chorus following you around going, "The Fields Medal! The Fields Medal!" Why are you still so fuckin' afraid of failure?

  • Chuckie: [in a bar] I didn't get on Cathy last night.

    Will: No?

    Chuckie: Nah.

    Will: Why not?

    Chuckie: I don't know.

    [yells across room]

    Chuckie: Cathy!

    Cathy: What?

    Chuckie: Why didn't you give me none of that nasty little hoochie-woochie you usually throw at me?

    Cathy: Oh, fuck you and your Irish curse, Chuckie. Like I'd waste my energy spreading my legs for that Tootsie Roll dick? So go home and give it a tug yourself.
