    "Our shortcomings allow us to find the right person." No one is a perfect person. The closest person is able to perfectly accept each other's imperfections. In that era, there were many such inspirational films, and perhaps now I look back and feel cliche and preaching, but the exquisite dialogue, moving soundtrack, and Damon and Robin's buzzing drama will always catch you. Life is sometimes just a disguise, and the real voice comes from our hearts. ★★★★

    [Will lights the math sheet on fire]

    Lambeau: [Runs and grabs the math sheet to blow out the fire] You're right Will. I can't do this proof. But you can, and when it comes to that it's only about... it's just a handful of people in the world who can tell the difference between you and me. But I'm one of them.
