This scene is beautiful and perfect, such amazing script writing. I really think they should write again! However the whole bit about his wife farting was ad-libbed, which I suspect is why Matt Damon seems to be genuinely cracking up. Genius

ctrlaltbleachTrue but I suspect that this is actually the best scene in the film.
dagFantastic chemistry there. Great film.
brycewi19Wiliams totally deserved the Oscar that year. Just a tremendous performance.
PaybackFavourite line: "Son of a bitch... he stole my line."
cosmovitelli says...Nice scene but I swear to god it got brutally cut after the 'maybe you're perfect..' line.
No shame in a bit of judicious editing of course.
dannym3141Very good. I think the whole maths/genius/superman thing is a little bit far fetched, but because that's just a framework around which to hang the beautiful film on, i'll suspend my disbelief. And it really is a great film, with fantastic acting.
QuboidRobin Williams can be a great actor and a great comedian. It's a shame that for whatever reasons, he doesn't show his talent very often.
poolcleaner^ Almost every American sketch comedy show from the late-70s and early-80s, Popeye, Mork & Mindy, Good Morning Vietnam, Dead Poets Society, Baron Munchausen, The Fisher King, Toys, Hook, Aladdin (say what you will about the movie, but his genie is THE genie), Mrs. Doubtfire, The Birdcage (remake), Good Will Hunting, Patch Adams, What Dreams May Come (I liked it at least), One hour Photo, Insomnia (remake), and then there's all of his random, unforgetable guest appearance and talk show circuit adlibbing...
Or do you just mean in recent years?
Have your say...
