Here is a movie from 1997, which put Matt Damon and Ben Affleck on the map (for good or for worse). They co-wrote the screenplay and won the Oscar for it. Damon plays a kid genius who is always in trouble with the law and so is sent to a psychiatrist (Williams) and tutored in Mathematics as part of his 'get out of jail free' clause.
The first meeting with the shrink doesn't go well, when Damon sees a paint-by-numbers picture and proceeds to psychologically de-construct the shrinks life, touching on his dead wife.
This scene is their next meeting and shows Robin Williams in perhaps his best role (he won an Oscar for this also). This is were their relationship really starts as Williams shows that Damon, despite bing a genius and despite having read many books on many topics, really knows nothing about life, love and death. It is a great monologue and performed wonderfully.
