Will Wants to Be a Shepherd, Explained：cash in your chips
Sean keeps asking what Will actually wants, and Will finally answers with the one thing that cannot be taken seriously: he wants to raise sheep. "So what do you really want to do?" is the question he cannot answer honestly, and his cruelty about Sean's dead wife is how he avoids it. Sean ends the session.
あらすじ
In a therapy session, Sean presses Will about what he wants to do with his life. Will replies that he wants to be a shepherd in Nashua, and Sean throws him out for giving a joke instead of an answer. On his way out Will attacks Sean over his dead wife, and Sean lands the harder blow about who actually stopped living.

What's really going on
Will's shepherd answer is not random; it is the most extreme version of his usual move. Sean has just finished arguing that ordinary work carries honor and that Will's real problem is having no direction, so Will replies with a fantasy that sounds like a refusal to want anything real. "You and your bullshit. You got a bullshit answer for everybody" is Sean naming the pattern: Will can argue about anything and commit to nothing. The exchange turns genuinely cruel when Will goes after Sean's dead wife, because that is the one subject Will cannot deflect. Sean's answer about losing a big hand and having the sack to ante up again is not advice he follows himself; it is the standard he holds Will to.
Theme
Death & griefWill weaponizes Sean's dead wife, and Sean answers with the difference between losing and refusing to play again.
IdentityThe shepherd joke is Will's sharpest refusal to define himself; Sean calls it a bullshit answer for everybody.

So what do you really want to do?Sean's repeated question cuts past all of Will's clever talk: not what he can do, but what he actually wants, which Will has never had to answer.
You and your bullshit. You got a bullshit answer for everybody.Sean names Will's habit of using wit as a shield: he can produce a dazzling answer for any question without ever committing to a real one.
And some people will lose a big hand like that and have the sack to ante up again.Sean's poker metaphor: losing everything is not the same as quitting, and the courage to risk again is exactly what he says Will lacks.
You're lecturin' me on life? Look at you, you fuckin' burnout.Will's cruel counterattack, dismissing Sean as a washed-up man with no right to give advice, right after Sean touches on his own loneliness.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Will say he wants to be a shepherd?
It is a deliberate joke meant to end the conversation. Sean asked for a real answer about what Will wants, and the shepherd fantasy is Will's way of refusing to give one.
Why does Sean throw Will out of the session?
Because Will keeps giving clever non-answers. When Will jokes about sheep instead of saying what he wants, Sean decides the session is wasting both their time and ends it.
What does "cash in your chips" mean?
It comes from poker: to exchange your chips for cash and leave the table. Will uses it to say Sean stopped living after his wife died instead of risking another hand.
Why does Will bring up Sean's dead wife?
He is lashing out after being pushed. Sean's questions have hit something Will cannot answer, so Will attacks the one soft spot he knows to change the subject.
Does Sean lose the argument?
He gets the last word about who really gave up, but the session ends with both men wounded. Will's parting shot about Sean being alone lands, and the scene shows how much they have in common.
