-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Will:\\\'\\\'\\\' Oh, come on! Why is it always this, I mean, I fucking \\\"owe it to myself\\\" to do this or that? What if I don\\\'t want to?\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Chuckie:\\\'\\\'\\\' No, no, no, no, fuck you. You don\\\'t owe it to yourself. You owe it to me. \\\'Cause tomorrow I\\\'m gonna wake up and I\\\'ll be fifty. And I\\\'ll still be doing this shit. And that\\\'s all right, that\\\'s fine. I mean, you\\\'re sitting on a winning lottery ticket. And you\\\'re too much of a pussy to cash it in, and that\\\'s bullshit. \\\'Cause I\\\'d do anything to fucking have what you got. And so would any of these fucking guys. It\\\'d be an insult to us if you\\\'re still here in twenty years. Hanging around here is a fucking waste of your time.\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Will:\\\'\\\'\\\' You don\\\'t know that.\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'\\\'Chuckie:\\\'\\\'\\\' Oh, I don\\\'t know that. Let me tell you what I do know. Every day I come by to pick you up. And we go out and we have a few drinks and a few laughs, and it\\\'s great. But you know what the best part of my day is? It\\\'s for about ten seconds from when I pull up to the curb to when I get to your door. Because I think maybe I\\\'ll get up there and I\\\'ll knock on the door and you won\\\'t be there. No goodbye, no see you later, no nothing -- just left. I don\\\'t know much, but I know that.

The whole speech is about Will being too good for that life, making it an ill-tempered TheReasonYoureAwesomeSpeech. It\\\'s pretty much exactly the opposite of this trope, even if it\\\'s abrasively phrased. I\\\'m sure there\\\'s some trope it fits into, something about tough love or shooing away the dog for his own good, but it\\\'s not this one.

Edit: On second thought, putting it back since it fits into one of the many \\\"alternately\\\" descriptions of the trope (brutally frank assessment by a friend). But the description need serious work: if it\\\'s every instance of anyone, hero, villain, friend or neutral, saying something harsh, it\\\'s getting into PeopleSittingOnChairs territory.
