What's really going on
Two proud men meet, and neither wants to be the one who needs the other. Lambeau sells Sean on the case with a warning that gives the game away: "It's a poker game with this kid. Don't let him know what you've got." The therapy session itself is less treatment than measuring contest. Will does not answer Sean's opening "How are you?" in kind; he turns the questions around, asking whether the books were bought retail and which ones Sean actually read. When he snaps, "I'm not here for a fuckin' book report," he is setting the terms: he will not be handled. Sean, for his part, lets the insults land without flinching, which is the first real move in a long test of patience.
Theme
TrustThe first session is really about whether Will will let anyone in; Sean's calm under insults is the opening bid.
IdentityWill guards his background fiercely, and the whole meeting is about who gets to define him.

And I need someone who can get through to him.Lambeau admits the boy's mind is not the problem; what he needs is a therapist who can reach him emotionally, someone the kid will actually listen to.
It's a poker game with this kid. Don't let him know what you've got.Lambeau frames the sessions as a contest of nerve: Will reads people fast, so Sean must not reveal his own hand or let the kid control the room.
I'm pumped! Let's let the healing begin.The line mocks the upbeat language of therapy, cheerful clichéd enthusiasm that sounds nothing like what the meeting will actually be.
Hey, I'm not here for a fuckin' book report. They're your books. Why don't you read 'em?Will refuses to be interviewed; instead of discussing his feelings, he attacks the therapist's credentials by mocking a bookshelf he suspects was never read.
このシーンについての質問
Why does Lambeau ask Sean instead of someone else?
Sean comes from the same South Boston neighborhood as Will, so Lambeau believes he can connect with the kid in a way the other therapists could not.
Why does Will interrogate Sean about his books?
It is his way of taking control of the session. By asking whether the books were even read, he sizes up the therapist and refuses to be the one on the couch.
Does Sean agree to meet Will right away?
Not easily. He insists his schedule is full, and it takes Lambeau's appeal and the promise of one meeting a week before Sean agrees.
What does "shrink" mean in this scene?
It is slang for a psychiatrist or therapist. Will counts the ones he has already seen, and the word underlines how lightly he treats the whole thing.
