Good Will Hunting: Alternate Scene?

Just a strange sentence in this article on Matt Damon. See if you can spot it:

“Good Will Hunting,” which Mr. Damon initiated when he was a student at Harvard, became one of Miramax’s most profitable releases. Despite some hints of darkness, the film is calculated nonsense of a high order, as phony as anything cooked up by Hollywood committee. Chris Columbus could easily have directed it, after all, though unlike Mr. Van Sant he could not have slipped in the film’s one true scene: Will mocking the therapist played by Robin Williams. (In another version of the screenplay, the therapist sexually services Will.) As Mr. Damon faces the camera in searching close-up, we see the cruelty slide across Will’s face like a shadow and, as important, we see the pleasure he derives from that cruelty.

Um, did you spot it? I can't imagine Robin Williams character "sexually servicing" Matt Damon's character; doesn't seem right. Though the director Gus Van Sant is gay, so I suppose it is possible, but I still have a very hard time believing that to be true. Wtf?

Also, if you're interested, these are the scenes in the movie that contain sexual content:

  • Chuckie asks a woman in a bar why he isn't seeing any "hootchie kootchie" from her. She replies that she's not going to "spread my legs for your tootsie roll."
  • Will asks an older male psychiatrist, "Do you find it hard to hide that you're gay?" When the man acts surprised, Will adds, "A couple of minutes ago you were about to give me a jump."
  • Will sings some lyrics from the song "Afternoon Delight" to a psychiatrist, "We can make a lot of love before the sound goes down. Skyrockets in flight. Afternoon delight."
  • Sean jokes about if patients don't trust you, "how are you ever going to get them to sleep with you?"
  • When Skylar comments that Will was probably hoping to get a goodnight kiss, he responds, "I was hoping to get a goodnight lay."
  • The guys trade some insults with one of them saying, "Get off mothers" (the subject) and then one of them says, "I just got off yours."
  • Will tells a joke where a pilot says that all he needs is "a blow job and a cup of coffee."
  • Will tells Sean in one of his sessions, "I have been laid."
  • Skylar tells Will, "I won't let you sleep with me again until I meet your friends." He then immediately dials one of them on the phone, and she comments that if men aren't controlled by their "weiner," then they're acting on behalf of it.
  • Later, they passionately kiss, and he also has his head in her lap or crotch (but doesn't appear to be doing anything sexual).
  • Skylar tells a joke about a couple married for fifty years where the husband asks for "a blow job." The wife complies, and when the husband asks if he can do anything for her, she says, "Give me a kiss," and Skylar visually finishes the joke by spilling beer out of her mouth (as if it were semen) while saying that line.
  • Chuckie yells up to Morgan that he better not be watching porno films in his mother's bedroom. Morgan then appears and they make some comments about him masturbating ("jerking off").
  • At least 139 "f" words (3 used with "mother"), 29 "s" words, 7 slang terms for male genitals (the "d" and "p" words and "wiener"), 1 slang term for female genitals (the "p" word), 18 asses (3 used with "hole"), 3 damns, 1 S.O.B., 1 crap, 1 hell, and 7 uses of "Oh God," 2 uses each of "Christ," "Jesus Christ," "Swear to God," and 1 use each of "G-damn," "For God's sakes," "Jesus," "Oh Christ," and "For Christ's sakes" as exclamations.
