He Married the Wrong Woman

There is a scene in the movie, Good Will Hunting, in which Will Hunting (patient) meets Sean McGuire(psychologist) in his office for the first time. Will is yet to come to terms with his painful past. He is a genius, yet works as a janitor at MIT. He does complex math equations for "kicks," which gets the attention of one of the math professors, Professor Lambeau. Professor Lambeau tries to help him get past his past in order to reach his potential in mathematics. After unsuccessfully meeting with many other prominant psychologist, Lambeau finally takes him to his former college roommate, psychologist Sean McGuire.
The scene as transcribed on http://www.un-official.com/GWH/GoodWillS.htm:

Will gets up again and moves around his chair to Sean's
painting. It is a picture of an old sailboat in a tremendous
storm--by no means a masterpiece. Will studies it.

WILL (cont'd)
You paint this?
SEAN
Yeah. Do you paint?
WILL
No.
SEAN
Crayons?
WILL
This is a real piece of ----.
SEAN
Tell me what you really think.
WILL
Poor color composition, lousy use of
space. But that ---- doesn't really
concern me.
SEAN
What does?
WILL
The color here, see how dark it is?
It's interesting.
SEAN
What is?
WILL
I think you're one step away from
cutting your ear off.
SEAN
Oh, "Starry Night" time, huh?
WILL
You ever heard the saying, "any port in
a storm?"
SEAN
Sure, how 'bout "still waters run deep"--
WILL
--Well, maybe that means you.
SEAN
Maybe what mea--
WILL
Maybe you were in the middle of a storm,
a big ------- storm. -- the waves were
crashing over the bow, the ned
mast was about to snap, and you were
crying for the harbor. So you did
what you had to do, to get out. Maybe
you became a psychologist.
SEAN
Maybe you should be a patient and sit
down.
WILL
Maybe you married the wrong woman.
SEAN
Watch your mouth.
WILL
That's it isn't it? You married the
wrong woman. She leave you? Was she
bangin' someone else?

Sean is walking slowly towards Will.

WILL (cont'd)
How are the seas now, D--

In a flash, Sean has Will by the throat. Will is helpless.

SEAN
If you ever disrespect my wife again...I
will end you.
WILL
Time's up.

Will's interpretation of the painting was off the mark. The storm wasn't that Sean had married the wrong woman, but that Sean's wife, the woman he loved died of cancer. The storm was the battle against cancer.

After several readings of the letters, the thought occurred to me that my father, Ronald Benjamin Hutchinson, had married the wrong woman. Beverly Jane Jenkins, my mother, was the wrong woman! This may be an odd thing to say, since my very existence is a product of their marriage. However, the remaining letters from my father tell the story.
