[@rocktown5014]

It's always been interesting to me to see Will's nervousness when Skylar starts telling her story, as if he's uneasy about what their reaction will be, but obviously you can see that tension in him subside when she delivers the punchline which gets a good laugh. There's so many subtleties that you can pick up within the actors' performances in this movie, which is one of the reasons why this has always been one of my favorites.

[@pritpalsingh3609]

I think he was uneasy because he has build such huge walls that he can't open up with anyone and he knows that and he is wondering whether he will have ever live that moment with a women when he'll wake up one day on his 50th anniversary.

Dave stops play and turns towards towards the funeral procession takes his cap off , bows his head , sniffs , wipes a tear from the corner of one eye puts his cap back on and then turns around and with a whack of his golf club drives his golf ball off the tee and down the fairway ! Well Dave's Golfing Partners were astonished, in all their years of playing together they had never once seen anything like this from Dave or seen him show any such emotion ! Over come with curiosity one of the golfing partners decided to ask " Dave what was that all about just then when that funeral drove past ? " . Dave replied " Ah well it was the least l could do really ! l mean after all , we had been married for nearly 35 years ! "
