15 Greatest Ending Lines In Film History
10. He Stole My Line - Good Will Hunting (1997)
The film that launched Matt Damon and Ben Affleck to superstardom and won the late, great Robin Williams his Oscar, Good Will Hunting is bursting with bittersweet moments, endearing characters, and warm, comforting twists.
The very best of these twists comes at the end, when Will packs up his things without warning and sets out after his girlfriend, Skylar. Not only does this poetically mirror a speech from Affleck earlier in the movie, but it also gives Robin Williams the last laugh as he reads a note from Will saying "I had to go see about a girl."
This is what Williams' character, Sean, tells Will he said to his friends when he met his late wife. Reading it, he smiles, gives a slight scoff, and says:
“Son of a bitch. He stole my line.”
It's a simple, heartwarming ending, made even more poignant by the fact that Williams improvised it, and in his delivery gave the movie one of its finest moments. If you're not grinning ear-to-ear watching it, chances are you're not human.
