The scene was originally written for Maguire to remain silent, simply absorbing the weight of the moment.
However, Williams improvised response, Son of a bitch.
He stole my line, became an instant classic.

So I would say that.
And what was scripted was that he just takes a moment and realizes that I’m gone.
In true Robin fashion, we did 60 takes.
Like we just left the camera rolling and he kept coming out, and kept coming out.
He did something different every single time.
I remember when he said, ‘Son of a bitch.
He stole my line,’ I grabbed Gus' shoulders.
I felt him tense up like we both knew.
We were like, ‘Holy shit.’
How did we not think of that?"
