    The document is a transcript of a conversation between Neil and his friends in their dorm room at Welton Academy. Neil tells his friends that his father made him drop out of the school annual, which Neil was assistant editor of, because his father thinks he is taking on too many extracurricular activities. Neil's friends encourage him to stand up to his father, but Neil says he has to do what his father tells him to do for now. They then make plans to study Latin together in Meeks' room later that evening.

    your shoulders back.
    3
    00:00:54,786 --> 00:00:57,403
    Okay put your arm
    around your brother. That's it.
    4
    00:00:57,497 --> 00:00:59,457
    That's it.
    Right and breathe in.
    5
    00:01:01,209 --> 00:01:03,117
    Okay one more.
    6
    00:01:07,632 --> 00:01:09,707
    Now just to review
    7
    00:01:09,801 --> 00:01:12,210
    you're going to follow
    along the procession...
    8
    00:01:12,303 --> 00:01:15,223
    until you get
    to the headmaster.
    9
    00:01:15,306 --> 00:01:17,882
    At that point
    he will indicate to you...
    10
    00:01:17,976 --> 00:01:20,051
    to light the candles
    of the boys.
    11
    00:01:20,145 --> 00:01:22,720
    All right boys
    let's settle down.
    12
    00:01:29,320 --> 00:01:32,105
    Banners up!
    13
    00:02:22,791 --> 00:02:26,868
    Ladies and gentlemen
    boys...
    14
    00:02:26,961 --> 00:02:28,870
    the Light of Knowledge.

    15
    00:02:43,478 --> 00:02:48,900
    One hundred years ago
    in 1859
    16
    00:02:48,983 --> 00:02:52,727
    41 boys sat in this room...
    17
    00:02:52,821 --> 00:02:55,313
    and were asked
    the same question...
    18
    00:02:55,407 --> 00:02:58,576
    that now greets you
    at the start of each semester.
    19
    00:02:58,660 --> 00:03:02,487
    Gentlemen
    what are the Four Pillars?
    20
    00:03:04,958 --> 00:03:09,744
    Tradition. Honour.
    Discipline. Excellence.
    21
    00:03:11,131 --> 00:03:13,091
    In her first year
    22
    00:03:13,174 --> 00:03:17,251
    Welton Academy graduated
    five students.
    23
    00:03:17,345 --> 00:03:20,265
    Last year
    we graduated 51.
    24
    00:03:20,348 --> 00:03:23,382
    And more than 75 percent
    of those...
    25
    00:03:23,476 --> 00:03:26,229
    went on to the Ivy League.
    26
    00:03:26,312 --> 00:03:31,057
    This- This kind
    of accomplishment...
    27
    00:03:31,151 --> 00:03:33,111

    is the result...
    28
    00:03:33,194 --> 00:03:38,106
    of fervent dedication
    to the principles taught here.
    29
    00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:41,609
    This is why you parents
    have been sending us your sons.
    30
    00:03:41,703 --> 00:03:44,737
    This is why
    we are the best...
    31
    00:03:44,831 --> 00:03:47,865
    preparatory school
    in the United States.
    32
    00:03:56,134 --> 00:03:58,543
    As you know
    33
    00:03:58,636 --> 00:04:03,673
    our beloved Mr Portius of the
    English Department retired last term.
    34
    00:04:03,767 --> 00:04:07,635
    You will have the opportunity later to
    meet his replacement Mr John Keating
    35
    00:04:09,105 --> 00:04:12,640
    himself an honours graduate
    of this school.
    36
    00:04:12,734 --> 00:04:15,309
    And who for the past several years
    has been teaching...
    37
    00:04:15,403 --> 00:04:17,645
    at the highly regarded
    Chester School in London.
    38
    00:04:23,536 --> 00:04:25,445
    Richard you forgot your bag!
    39
    00:04:25,538 --> 00:04:27,697
    Hi Johnny!
    Hey how you doin'?

    41
    00:04:41,971 --> 00:04:44,891
    They haven't moved
    the dining area.
    42
    00:04:44,974 --> 00:04:46,883
    Glad you could come by.
    43
    00:04:46,976 --> 00:04:50,011
    - Thrilling ceremony
    as usual Dr Nolan.

    00:04:50,105 --> 00:04:52,013
    - Hello Dr Nolan.
    - Good to have you back.
    45
    00:04:52,107 --> 00:04:54,265
    - This is our youngest Todd.
    - Mr Anderson.
    46
    00:04:54,359 --> 00:04:57,977
    You have some big shoes to fill.
    Your brother was one of our finest.
    47
    00:04:58,071 --> 00:05:01,105
    Thank you.
    48
    00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,150
    - Lovely ceremony.
    - Thank you. Glad you liked it.
    49
    00:05:04,244 --> 00:05:06,152
    - Gale.

    50
    00:05:06,246 --> 00:05:08,154
    - Good to see you again.

    51
    00:05:08,248 --> 00:05:11,418
    - We expect great things
    from you this year.
    - Thank you sir.

    52
    00:05:11,501 --> 00:05:13,409
    Well he won't disappoint us.
    Right Neil?
    53
    00:05:13,503 --> 00:05:15,787
    I'll do my best sir.
    54
    00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,841
    Hey come on son.
    55
    00:05:17,924 --> 00:05:19,165
    - Chin up.
    - Okay.
    56
    00:05:19,259 --> 00:05:20,635
    - No tears now.
    - Chin up.
    57
    00:05:20,719 --> 00:05:22,679
    - I don't want to go here.
    - Honey I love you.
    58
    00:05:22,762 --> 00:05:26,714
    - I'll walk you over.
    - You be a good boy. Do your lessons.
    59
    00:05:31,521 --> 00:05:34,013
    Hey! I hear
    we're gonna be roommates.
    60
    00:05:34,107 --> 00:05:36,682
    - I'm Neil Perry.
    - I'm Todd Anderson.
    61
    00:05:36,776 --> 00:05:38,851
    Why'd you leave Balincrest?
    62
    00:05:38,945 --> 00:05:40,853
    My brother went here.
    63
    00:05:40,947 --> 00:05:42,907
    Oh so you're
    that Anderson.
    64
    00:05:42,991 --> 00:05:45,191
    - This is for his sinuses.
    - Yes. I see.

    65
    00:05:45,285 --> 00:05:48,538
    Oh and if he can't swallow
    you give him one of these.
    66
    00:05:48,621 --> 00:05:51,541
    And if he has trouble breathing
    you can give him some of those.
    67
    00:05:51,624 --> 00:05:54,992
    - Did you remember your vaporizer?
    - Yes I put it in my room.
    68
    00:06:00,633 --> 00:06:02,625
    - Hey how's it going Neil?
    - Hey Knox.
    69
    00:06:02,719 --> 00:06:05,472

    70
    00:06:05,555 --> 00:06:08,131
    - Yeah sure.
    - Business as usual huh?
    71
    00:06:08,224 --> 00:06:10,977
    Hey I heard you got the new kid.
    Looks like a stiff!
    72
    00:06:11,061 --> 00:06:13,897
    Oops.
    73
    00:06:16,566 --> 00:06:18,641
    Listen don't mind Cameron.
    74
    00:06:18,735 --> 00:06:23,312
    He was born with his foot in his mouth.
    You know what I mean?
    75
    00:06:25,742 --> 00:06:29,110
    Rumour has it...
    you did summer school.
    76
    00:06:29,204 --> 00:06:32,321
    Yep. Chemistry. My father
    thought I should get ahead.
    77
    00:06:32,415 --> 00:06:34,323

    How was your summer slick?


    78
    00:06:34,417 --> 00:06:36,242
    Keen.
    79
    00:06:37,921 --> 00:06:39,954
    Meeks. Door. Closed.
    80
    00:06:40,048 --> 00:06:42,206
    Yes sir.
    81
    00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,500
    Gentlemen what are
    the Four Pillars?
    82
    00:06:44,594 --> 00:06:49,338
    Travesty. Horror.
    Decadence. Excrement.
    83
    00:06:49,432 --> 00:06:52,185
    Okay. Study group.
    84
    00:06:52,268 --> 00:06:55,188
    Meeks aced Latin.
    I didn't quite flunk English.
    85
    00:06:55,271 --> 00:06:57,680
    - If you want we got our study group.
    - Sure.
    86
    00:06:57,774 --> 00:07:00,016
    Cameron asked me too.
    Anyone mind including him?
    87
    00:07:00,110 --> 00:07:02,643
    Hmm what's his specialty?
    Bootlicking?
    88
    00:07:02,737 --> 00:07:04,896
    - Come on he's your roommate.
    - That's not my fault.
    89
    00:07:04,989 --> 00:07:09,484
    I'm sorry. My name is Stephen Meeks.
    90
    00:07:09,577 --> 00:07:11,652
    Oh!

    This is Todd Anderson.


    91
    00:07:11,746 --> 00:07:13,654
    - Nice to meet you.
    - Nice to meet you.
    92
    00:07:13,748 --> 00:07:16,157
    Charlie Dalton.
    93
    00:07:16,251 --> 00:07:18,701
    Knox Overstreet.
    94
    00:07:18,795 --> 00:07:20,703
    Todd's brother was
    Jeffrey Anderson.
    95
    00:07:20,797 --> 00:07:22,997
    - Oh yeah sure.
    - What do you know?
    96
    00:07:23,091 --> 00:07:26,959
    - Valedictorian. National Merit Scholar.
    - Oh well...
    97
    00:07:27,053 --> 00:07:29,170
    welcome to Hell- ton.
    98
    00:07:29,264 --> 00:07:33,309
    It's every bit as tough as they say
    unless you're a genius like Meeks.
    99
    00:07:33,393 --> 00:07:35,843
    He flatters me.
    That's why I help him with Latin.
    100
    00:07:35,937 --> 00:07:38,857
    And English. And trig.
    101
    00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:41,974
    It's open.
    102
    00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,355
    Father I thought you'd gone.
    103
    00:07:47,449 --> 00:07:50,149
    - Mr Perry.
    - Keep your seats fellows.

    104
    00:07:50,243 --> 00:07:54,028
    Neil I've just spoken
    to Mr Nolan.
    105
    00:07:54,122 --> 00:07:57,375
    You're taking too many extracurricular
    activities this semester
    106
    00:07:57,459 --> 00:08:00,326
    and I've decided that
    you should drop the school annual.
    107
    00:08:00,420 --> 00:08:02,245
    But I'm the assistant editor
    this year.
    108
    00:08:02,339 --> 00:08:05,998
    - Well I'm sorry Neil.
    - But Father I can't.
    109
    00:08:06,092 --> 00:08:10,002
    - It wouldn't be fair.
    - Would you excuse us for a moment?
    110
    00:08:21,107 --> 00:08:24,142
    Don't you ever dispute me in public.
    Do you understand?
    111
    00:08:24,235 --> 00:08:26,644
    - Father I wasn't disputing- - After you've finished medical school...
    112
    00:08:26,738 --> 00:08:28,813
    and you're on your own
    then you can do as you damn well please.
    113
    00:08:28,907 --> 00:08:32,160
    But until then you do as I tell you.
    Is that clear?
    114
    00:08:32,243 --> 00:08:34,819
    Yes sir.
    I'm sorry.
    115
    00:08:37,082 --> 00:08:39,042
    You know how much this means
    to your mother don't you?

    116
    00:08:39,125 --> 00:08:41,325
    Yes sir.
    117
    00:08:41,419 --> 00:08:45,496
    You know me:
    always taking on too much.
    118
    00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,166
    Well that's my boy.
    119
    00:08:48,259 --> 00:08:52,170
    - You need anything you let us know.
    - Yes sir.
    120
    00:09:00,438 --> 00:09:04,223
    Why doesn't he
    let you do what you want?
    121
    00:09:04,317 --> 00:09:07,602
    Yeah Neil. Tell him off.
    Couldn't get any worse.
    122
    00:09:07,696 --> 00:09:09,604
    Oh that's rich.
    Like you guys tell your parents off?
    123
    00:09:09,698 --> 00:09:11,606
    Mr Future Lawyer
    and Mr Future Banker?
    124
    00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:14,275
    Okay so I don't like it
    any more than you do.
    125
    00:09:14,369 --> 00:09:16,486
    Well just don't tell me
    how to talk to my father.
    126
    00:09:16,579 --> 00:09:19,499
    - You guys are the same way.
    - All right all right.Jesus.
    127
    00:09:19,582 --> 00:09:21,699
    - So what are you gonna do then?
    - What I have to do.
    128

    00:09:21,793 --> 00:09:25,286


    - Drop the annual.
    - I wouldn't lose much sleep over it.
    129
    00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:27,872
    It's just a bunch of jerks
    trying to impress Nolan.
    130
    00:09:27,966 --> 00:09:31,000
    I don't care. I don't
    give a damn about any of it.
    131
    00:09:31,094 --> 00:09:34,837
    - Well uh... Latin 8:00 in my room?
    - Yes.
    132
    00:09:34,931 --> 00:09:37,965
    - That sounds okay.
    - Todd you're welcome to join us.
    133
    00:09:38,059 --> 00:09:40,510
    - Yeah come along pal.
    - Thanks.
    134
    00:10:18,308 --> 00:10:20,883
    Slow down boys!
    135
    00:10:20,977 --> 00:10:25,388
    Slow down you horrible
    phalanx of pubescence!
    136
    00:10:25,482 --> 00:10:29,392
    Pick three laboratory experiments
    from the project list...
    137
    00:10:29,486 --> 00:10:33,229
    and report on them
    every five weeks.
    138
    00:10:33,323 --> 00:10:37,733
    The first 20 questions at the end
    of chapter one are due tomorrow.
    139
    00:10:39,954 --> 00:10:41,863
    - Agricolam.
    - Agricolam.
    140
    00:10:41,956 --> 00:10:43,865

    - Agricola.
    - Agricola.
    141
    00:10:43,958 --> 00:10:46,242
    - Agricolae.
    - Agricolae.
    142
    00:10:46,336 --> 00:10:49,089
    - Agricolarum.
    - Agricolarum.
    143
    00:10:49,172 --> 00:10:51,414
    - Agricolis.
    - Agricolis.
    144
    00:10:51,508 --> 00:10:53,583
    - Agricolas.
    - Agricolas.
    145
    00:10:53,677 --> 00:10:55,918
    - Agricolis.
    - Agricolis.
    146
    00:10:56,012 --> 00:10:58,880
    - Again please. Agricola.
    - Agricola.
    147
    00:10:58,973 --> 00:11:04,729
    Your study of trigonometry
    requires absolute precision.
    148
    00:11:04,813 --> 00:11:09,557
    Anyone failing to turn in
    any homework assignment...
    149
    00:11:09,651 --> 00:11:14,729
    will be penalized one point
    off their final grade.
    150
    00:11:14,823 --> 00:11:18,691
    Let me urge you now not
    to test me on this point.
    151
    00:11:30,171 --> 00:11:32,413
    Hey Spaz. Spaz.
    152
    00:11:32,507 --> 00:11:35,082
    Brain damage!

    153
    00:11:35,176 --> 00:11:38,753
    - Shh!
    154
    00:11:56,197 --> 00:11:59,117
    Well come on.
    155
    00:12:06,458 --> 00:12:09,544
    - Let's go.
    - Let's go guys.
    156
    00:12:09,627 --> 00:12:14,914
    Let's go.
    157
    00:12:34,319 --> 00:12:37,895
    "O Captain my Captain."
    158
    00:12:37,989 --> 00:12:41,159
    Who knows
    where that comes from?
    159
    00:12:41,242 --> 00:12:42,900
    Anybody?
    160
    00:12:47,165 --> 00:12:49,407
    Not a clue?
    161
    00:12:49,501 --> 00:12:53,411
    It's from a poem by Walt Whitman
    about Mr Abraham Lincoln.
    162
    00:12:53,505 --> 00:12:56,591
    Now in this class you can
    either call me Mr Keating...
    163
    00:12:56,675 --> 00:13:00,668
    or if you're slightly more daring
    "O Captain my Captain."
    164
    00:13:04,432 --> 00:13:07,519
    Now let me dispel a few rumours
    so they don't fester into facts.
    165
    00:13:07,602 --> 00:13:11,345
    Yes I too attended Hell- ton
    and survived.

    166
    00:13:11,439 --> 00:13:15,516
    And no at that time I was not
    the mental giant you see before you.
    167
    00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:19,187
    I was the intellectual equivalent
    of a 98- pound weakling.
    168
    00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,191
    I would go to the beach and people
    would kick copies of Byron in my face.
    169
    00:13:26,621 --> 00:13:32,043
    Now... Mr Pitts?
    170
    00:13:32,127 --> 00:13:34,202
    That's a rather
    unfortunate name.
    171
    00:13:34,295 --> 00:13:37,705
    Mr Pitts where are you?
    172
    00:13:37,799 --> 00:13:42,210
    Mr Pitts would you open
    your hymnal to page 542.
    173
    00:13:42,303 --> 00:13:45,390
    Read the first stanza
    of the poem you find there.
    174
    00:13:47,976 --> 00:13:50,551
    "To the Virgins
    to Make Much of Time"?
    175
    00:13:50,645 --> 00:13:53,846
    Yes that's the one.
    176
    00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:56,724
    Somewhat appropriate isn't it?
    177
    00:13:56,818 --> 00:13:59,393
    "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
    178
    00:13:59,487 --> 00:14:01,395
    "Old Time is still a- flying.
    179

    00:14:01,489 --> 00:14:04,899


    And this same flower that smiles today
    tomorrow will be dying."
    180
    00:14:04,993 --> 00:14:08,027
    Thank you Mr Pitts.
    181
    00:14:08,121 --> 00:14:11,207
    "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
    182
    00:14:11,291 --> 00:14:15,034
    The Latin term for that sentiment
    is "Carpe diem. "
    183
    00:14:15,128 --> 00:14:17,411
    Now who knows what that means?
    184
    00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,249
    Carpe diem.
    That's "Seize the day."
    185
    00:14:21,343 --> 00:14:23,251
    - Very good Mister- - Meeks.
    186
    00:14:23,345 --> 00:14:26,598
    Meeks.
    Another unusual name.
    187
    00:14:26,681 --> 00:14:28,881
    Seize the day.
    188
    00:14:28,975 --> 00:14:32,552
    "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."
    189
    00:14:32,645 --> 00:14:34,929
    Why does the writer
    use these lines?
    190
    00:14:35,023 --> 00:14:37,859
    - Because he's in a hurry.
    - No! Ding!
    191
    00:14:37,942 --> 00:14:40,184
    Thank you
    for playing anyway.
    192

    00:14:42,155 --> 00:14:45,731


    Because we are food
    for worms lads.
    193
    00:14:45,825 --> 00:14:48,609
    Because believe it or not
    each and every one of us in this room...
    194
    00:14:48,703 --> 00:14:54,125
    is one day going to stop breathing
    turn cold and die.
    195
    00:14:56,002 --> 00:14:58,578
    I would like you
    to step forward over here...
    196
    00:14:58,672 --> 00:15:01,247
    and peruse some of the faces
    from the past.
    197
    00:15:01,341 --> 00:15:05,668
    You've walked past them
    many times. I don't think
    you've really looked at them.
    198
    00:15:11,393 --> 00:15:14,062
    They're not that different
    from you are they?
    199
    00:15:14,145 --> 00:15:16,815
    Same haircuts.
    200
    00:15:16,898 --> 00:15:20,016
    Full of hormones
    just like you.
    201
    00:15:20,110 --> 00:15:25,532
    Invincible just like you feel.
    The world is their oyster.
    202
    00:15:25,615 --> 00:15:28,733
    They believe they're destined for
    great things just like many of you.
    203
    00:15:28,827 --> 00:15:31,068
    Their eyes are full of hope
    just like you.
    204

    00:15:31,162 --> 00:15:33,832


    Did they wait
    until it was too late...
    205
    00:15:33,915 --> 00:15:37,366
    to make from their lives even one iota
    of what they were capable?
    206
    00:15:37,460 --> 00:15:42,538
    Because you see gentlemen these
    boys are now fertilizing daffodils.
    207
    00:15:44,259 --> 00:15:47,178
    But if you listen
    real close...
    208
    00:15:47,262 --> 00:15:50,181
    you can hear them whisper
    their legacy to you.
    209
    00:15:50,265 --> 00:15:52,173
    Go on lean in.
    210
    00:15:52,267 --> 00:15:57,887
    Listen.
    Do you hear it?
    211
    00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:06,521
    Carpe.
    212
    00:16:09,034 --> 00:16:11,870
    Hear it?
    213
    00:16:11,953 --> 00:16:17,292
    Carpe.
    214
    00:16:17,375 --> 00:16:22,714
    Carpe diem.
    215
    00:16:22,797 --> 00:16:27,542
    Seize the day boys.
    216
    00:16:27,635 --> 00:16:33,141
    Make your lives
    extraordinary.
    217
    00:16:46,488 --> 00:16:49,240

    - That was weird.


    - But different.
    218
    00:16:49,324 --> 00:16:51,899
    Spooky if you ask me.
    219
    00:16:51,993 --> 00:16:54,068
    Think he'll test us
    on that stuff?
    220
    00:16:54,162 --> 00:16:57,248
    Oh come on Cameron.
    Don't you get anything?
    221
    00:16:57,332 --> 00:16:59,407
    What? What?
    222
    00:17:01,670 --> 00:17:05,496
    Let's go boys. Hustle up in here.
    That means you Dalton!
    223
    00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:07,832
    Who's up for a quick
    study group tonight guys?
    224
    00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:10,001
    - Me.
    - What?
    225
    00:17:10,095 --> 00:17:13,504
    I can't make it guys. I have to have
    dinner at the Danburrys' house tonight.
    226
    00:17:13,598 --> 00:17:15,506
    The Danburrys?
    Who are the Danburrys?
    227
    00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,508
    Big alums.
    How'd you swing that?
    228
    00:17:17,602 --> 00:17:20,011
    Friends of my dad's. They're probably
    in their nineties or something.
    229
    00:17:20,105 --> 00:17:21,512
    Ooh!

    230
    00:17:21,606 --> 00:17:24,015
    Anything's better
    than Hell- ton hash Knox.
    231
    00:17:24,109 --> 00:17:26,684
    - I'll second that.
    - Yeah we'll see.
    232
    00:17:26,778 --> 00:17:30,521
    You coming to the study group tonight?
    233
    00:17:30,615 --> 00:17:34,525
    Uh... no. No I- Uh I've got some history I wanna do.
    234
    00:17:34,619 --> 00:17:37,372
    Suit yourself.
    235
    00:18:10,405 --> 00:18:12,313
    Ready Overstreet?
    236
    00:18:14,409 --> 00:18:16,692
    Ready to go sir.
    237
    00:18:41,603 --> 00:18:44,011
    Chet can you get that?
    238
    00:18:44,105 --> 00:18:46,180
    - I can't Mom.
    - I'll get it!
    239
    00:18:51,571 --> 00:18:54,188
    Can I help you?
    240
    00:18:54,282 --> 00:18:57,859
    Hi. Knox Overstreet.
    241
    00:18:57,952 --> 00:19:01,696
    - Uh Dr Hager.
    - Hi.
    242
    00:19:01,790 --> 00:19:03,666
    This is the Danburrys'
    right?
    243
    00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:07,034

    - Are you here to see Chet?


    - Mrs Danburry?
    244
    00:19:07,128 --> 00:19:11,205
    - No.
    - Sorry. Thank you. I'm Mrs Danburry.
    245
    00:19:11,299 --> 00:19:13,207
    - You must be Knox.
    - Yes.
    246
    00:19:13,301 --> 00:19:16,054
    Back by 9:00?
    Please come on in.
    247
    00:19:16,137 --> 00:19:18,045
    - Chris come on!
    - Chet I'm coming.
    248
    00:19:18,139 --> 00:19:20,506
    Knox. How are you?
    Joe Danburry.
    249
    00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,353
    - Nice to meet you sir.
    - He's the spitting image of his father.
    250
    00:19:23,436 --> 00:19:25,344
    - How is he? Come on in.
    - Chris!
    251
    00:19:25,438 --> 00:19:28,014
    - Great. He just did a big case for G.M.
    - I know where you're headed.
    252
    00:19:28,108 --> 00:19:30,433
    - I'm coming.
    - Like father like son huh?
    253
    00:19:32,112 --> 00:19:34,072
    Ooh! Psycho!
    254
    00:19:34,155 --> 00:19:36,647
    - Yes!
    - To Queen- Six.
    255
    00:19:36,741 --> 00:19:39,358
    - Another game?

    - What do you mean?


    - Duh!
    256
    00:19:39,452 --> 00:19:42,706
    just replace these numbers here
    with 'x "for 'x"and 'y. "
    257
    00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:45,323
    - Of course.
    - Of course. So what's the problem?
    258
    00:19:45,417 --> 00:19:48,086
    You think I can get in there?
    You've been hogging it all day.
    259
    00:19:48,169 --> 00:19:50,244
    - Wait. No.
    - How was dinner?
    260
    00:19:50,338 --> 00:19:52,371
    Huh?
    261
    00:19:52,465 --> 00:19:56,125
    - How was dinner?
    - Terrible.
    262
    00:19:57,512 --> 00:20:01,214
    - Awful.
    - Why? What happened?
    263
    00:20:04,144 --> 00:20:08,721
    Tonight I met
    the most beautiful girl...
    264
    00:20:08,815 --> 00:20:11,224
    I have ever seen
    in my entire life.
    265
    00:20:11,317 --> 00:20:14,018
    Are you crazy?
    What's wrong with that?
    266
    00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:18,241
    She's practically engaged
    to Chet Danburry.
    267
    00:20:18,324 --> 00:20:19,951
    That guy could eat a football.

    268
    00:20:20,035 --> 00:20:22,110
    - Too bad.
    - "Too bad"?
    269
    00:20:22,203 --> 00:20:24,737
    It's worse than "too bad"
    Pittsie. It's a tragedy.
    270
    00:20:24,831 --> 00:20:27,584
    A girl this beautiful
    in love with such a jerk.
    271
    00:20:27,667 --> 00:20:30,118
    All the good ones go for jerks.
    You know that.
    272
    00:20:30,211 --> 00:20:32,745
    Yeah forget her. Open your trig book
    and try and figure out problem five.
    273
    00:20:32,839 --> 00:20:35,248
    I can't just forget her Cameron.
    274
    00:20:35,342 --> 00:20:38,209
    And I certainly
    can't think about trig.
    275
    00:20:38,303 --> 00:20:40,461
    We got it!
    276
    00:20:40,555 --> 00:20:43,308
    All right gentlemen.
    Five minutes.
    277
    00:20:43,391 --> 00:20:45,800
    Let's go.
    278
    00:20:45,894 --> 00:20:49,595
    - Did you see her naked?
    - Very funny Dalton.
    279
    00:20:49,689 --> 00:20:52,640
    That wouldn't be a radio in your lap
    280
    00:20:52,734 --> 00:20:57,145
    - would it Mr Pitts?

    - No sir. Science experiment.


    281
    00:20:57,238 --> 00:20:59,313
    Radar.
    282
    00:21:03,912 --> 00:21:08,698
    Gentlemen open your text
    to page 21 of the introduction.
    283
    00:21:08,792 --> 00:21:12,201
    Mr Perry will you read
    the opening paragraph of the preface
    284
    00:21:12,295 --> 00:21:14,454
    entitled
    "Understanding Poetry."
    285
    00:21:15,799 --> 00:21:20,543
    "'Understand Poetry'
    by Dr J. Evans Pritchard Ph.D.
    286
    00:21:20,637 --> 00:21:23,390
    "To fully understand poetry
    we must first be fluent...
    287
    00:21:23,473 --> 00:21:26,393
    "with its metre rhyme
    and figures of speech.
    288
    00:21:26,476 --> 00:21:28,384
    "Then ask two questions.
    289
    00:21:28,478 --> 00:21:30,720
    "One.: How artfully has the objective
    of the poem been rendered?
    290
    00:21:30,814 --> 00:21:34,307
    'And two.: How important
    is that objective?
    291
    00:21:34,401 --> 00:21:36,309
    "Question one rates
    the poem's perfection.
    292
    00:21:36,403 --> 00:21:38,394
    "Question two rates
    its importance.

    293
    00:21:38,488 --> 00:21:40,897
    'And once these questions
    have been answered...
    294
    00:21:40,990 --> 00:21:44,400
    "determining a poem's greatness
    becomes a relatively simple matter.
    295
    00:21:44,494 --> 00:21:47,069
    "If the poem's score
    for perfection is plotted...
    296
    00:21:47,163 --> 00:21:49,238
    "on the horizontal
    of a graph...
    297
    00:21:49,332 --> 00:21:52,742
    "and its importance
    is plotted on the vertical
    298
    00:21:52,836 --> 00:21:56,089
    "then calculating
    the total area of the poem...
    299
    00:21:56,172 --> 00:21:58,873
    "yields the measure
    of its greatness.
    300
    00:22:01,469 --> 00:22:06,714
    "A sonnet by Byron might
    score high on the vertical
    301
    00:22:06,808 --> 00:22:09,728
    "but only average
    on the horizontal.
    302
    00:22:09,811 --> 00:22:13,012
    'A Shakespearean sonnet
    on the other hand
    303
    00:22:13,106 --> 00:22:16,443
    "would score high both
    horizontally and vertically
    304
    00:22:16,526 --> 00:22:18,434
    'yielding
    a massive total area;:

    305
    00:22:18,528 --> 00:22:21,865
    "thereby revealing
    the poem to be truly great.
    306
    00:22:21,948 --> 00:22:26,734
    'As you proceed through the poetry in
    this book practise this rating method.
    307
    00:22:26,828 --> 00:22:29,529
    'As your ability to evaluate
    poems in this manner grows
    308
    00:22:29,622 --> 00:22:35,409
    so will- - so will your enjoyment
    and understanding of poetry."
    309
    00:22:39,841 --> 00:22:41,749
    Excrement.
    310
    00:22:44,179 --> 00:22:46,546
    That's what I think
    of Mr J. Evans Pritchard.
    311
    00:22:46,639 --> 00:22:49,757
    We're not laying pipe.
    We're talking about poetry.
    312
    00:22:49,851 --> 00:22:53,104
    I mean how can you describe poetry
    like American Bandstand?
    313
    00:22:53,188 --> 00:22:58,057
    "I like Byron. I give him a 42.
    But I can't dance to it."
    314
    00:22:58,151 --> 00:23:01,237
    Now I want you
    to rip out that page.
    315
    00:23:01,321 --> 00:23:04,689
    Go on.
    Rip out the entire page.
    316
    00:23:07,327 --> 00:23:09,902
    You heard me.
    Rip it out.
    317

    00:23:09,996 --> 00:23:12,447


    Rip it out!
    318
    00:23:12,540 --> 00:23:14,657
    Go on.
    Rip it out.
    319
    00:23:16,044 --> 00:23:18,453
    Thank you Mr Dalton.
    320
    00:23:18,546 --> 00:23:20,538
    Gentlemen tell you what.
    Don't just tear out that page.
    321
    00:23:20,632 --> 00:23:25,460
    Tear out the entire introduction.
    I want it gone history. Leave nothing.
    322
    00:23:25,553 --> 00:23:29,849
    Rip it out! Rip! Be gone
    J. Evans Pritchard Ph.D.!
    323
    00:23:29,933 --> 00:23:32,383
    Rip! Shred! Tear!
    324
    00:23:32,477 --> 00:23:35,480
    Rip it out! I want to hear nothing
    but ripping of Mr Pritchard!
    325
    00:23:35,563 --> 00:23:38,316
    We'll perforate it put it on a roll!
    326
    00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,808
    It's not the Bible.
    You're not gonna go to hell for this.
    327
    00:23:43,363 --> 00:23:46,814
    Go on. Make a clean tear.
    I want nothing left of it.
    328
    00:23:46,908 --> 00:23:49,275
    We shouldn't be doing this.
    329
    00:23:49,369 --> 00:23:51,819
    Rip! Rip! Rip!
    330
    00:23:51,913 --> 00:23:53,821

    Rip it out! Rip!


    331
    00:23:58,128 --> 00:24:02,121
    Rip it! Yeah! Rip it out!
    332
    00:24:05,719 --> 00:24:08,722
    - Rip it!
    - What the hell is going on here?
    333
    00:24:10,098 --> 00:24:13,674
    - I don't hear enough rips.
    - Mr Keating.
    334
    00:24:13,768 --> 00:24:16,135
    Mr McAllister.
    335
    00:24:16,229 --> 00:24:20,723
    I'm sorry I- I didn't know you were here.
    336
    00:24:20,817 --> 00:24:26,687
    - I am.
    - Ah. So you are.
    337
    00:24:26,781 --> 00:24:28,856
    Excuse me.
    338
    00:24:30,618 --> 00:24:32,902
    Keep ripping gentlemen.
    339
    00:24:32,996 --> 00:24:35,696
    This is a battle a war.
    340
    00:24:35,790 --> 00:24:37,865
    And the casualties could be
    your hearts and souls.
    341
    00:24:37,959 --> 00:24:39,867
    Thank you Mr Dalton.
    342
    00:24:39,961 --> 00:24:43,048
    Armies of academics
    going forward measuring poetry.
    343
    00:24:43,131 --> 00:24:45,039
    No! We will not
    have that here.

    344
    00:24:45,133 --> 00:24:47,041
    No more
    of MrJ. Evans Pritchard.
    345
    00:24:47,135 --> 00:24:50,388
    Now my class you will learn
    to think for yourselves again.
    346
    00:24:50,472 --> 00:24:54,006
    You will learn
    to savour words and language.
    347
    00:24:54,100 --> 00:24:56,384
    No matter what
    anybody tells you
    348
    00:24:56,478 --> 00:25:00,221
    words and ideas
    can change the world.
    349
    00:25:00,315 --> 00:25:02,682
    I see that look
    in Mr Pitts' eye...
    350
    00:25:02,776 --> 00:25:05,017
    like 19th century literature
    has nothing to do...
    351
    00:25:05,111 --> 00:25:07,019
    with going to business school
    or medical school.
    352
    00:25:07,113 --> 00:25:09,021
    Right? Maybe.
    353
    00:25:09,115 --> 00:25:11,190
    Mr Hopkins you may agree
    with him thinking
    354
    00:25:11,284 --> 00:25:14,537
    "Yes we should simply study
    our Mr Pritchard...
    355
    00:25:14,621 --> 00:25:17,540
    "and learn our rhyme and metre
    and go quietly about the business...

    356
    00:25:17,624 --> 00:25:20,710
    of achieving other ambitions."
    357
    00:25:20,794 --> 00:25:23,713
    I have a little secret for you.
    Huddle up.
    358
    00:25:23,797 --> 00:25:25,705
    Huddle up!
    359
    00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,049
    We don't read and write
    poetry because it's cute.
    360
    00:25:37,143 --> 00:25:41,888
    We read and write poetry because
    we are members of the human race.
    361
    00:25:41,981 --> 00:25:46,726
    And the human race
    is filled with passion.
    362
    00:25:46,820 --> 00:25:49,395
    Medicine law
    business engineering:
    363
    00:25:49,489 --> 00:25:52,659
    these are noble pursuits
    and necessary to sustain life.
    364
    00:25:52,742 --> 00:25:55,234
    But poetry
    365
    00:25:55,328 --> 00:25:59,405
    beauty romance love- 366
    00:25:59,499 --> 00:26:02,074
    these are what
    we stay alive for.
    367
    00:26:02,168 --> 00:26:05,005
    To quote from Whitman.:
    368
    00:26:05,088 --> 00:26:09,134
    "O me O life of the questions
    of these recurring.

    369
    00:26:09,217 --> 00:26:12,303
    "Of the endless trains
    of the faithless.
    370
    00:26:12,387 --> 00:26:15,306
    "Of cities filled
    with the foolish.
    371
    00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:18,674
    "What good amid these
    O me O life?
    372
    00:26:18,768 --> 00:26:22,678
    "Answer:
    That you are here.
    373
    00:26:22,772 --> 00:26:26,849
    "That life exists
    and identity.
    374
    00:26:26,943 --> 00:26:29,352
    "That the powerful play
    goes on
    375
    00:26:29,446 --> 00:26:32,021
    and you may contribute
    a verse."
    376
    00:26:34,117 --> 00:26:36,786
    "That the powerful play
    goes on
    377
    00:26:36,870 --> 00:26:40,696
    and you may contribute
    a verse. "
    378
    00:26:44,294 --> 00:26:46,410
    What will your verse be?
    379
    00:26:50,425 --> 00:26:53,209
    For what we are
    about to receive
    380
    00:26:53,303 --> 00:26:56,389
    may the Lord make us
    truly grateful.
    381

    00:26:56,473 --> 00:26:58,381


    Amen.
    382
    00:27:10,111 --> 00:27:12,864
    Quite an interesting class
    you gave today Mr Keating.
    383
    00:27:12,947 --> 00:27:15,867
    - Sorry if I shocked you Mr McAllister.
    - There's no need to apologise.
    384
    00:27:15,950 --> 00:27:19,037
    It was very fascinating
    misguided though it was.
    385
    00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:21,028
    You think so?
    386
    00:27:21,122 --> 00:27:24,376
    You take a big risk by encouraging them
    to become artistsJohn.
    387
    00:27:24,459 --> 00:27:28,202
    When they realize that they're
    not Rembrandts Shakespeares or Mozarts
    388
    00:27:28,296 --> 00:27:29,871
    they'll hate you for it.
    389
    00:27:29,964 --> 00:27:33,374
    We're not talking artists George.
    We're talking freethinkers.
    390
    00:27:33,468 --> 00:27:35,877
    Freethinkers at 17?
    391
    00:27:35,970 --> 00:27:37,879
    Funny I never pegged you
    as a cynic.
    392
    00:27:40,308 --> 00:27:43,009
    Not a cynic.
    393
    00:27:43,103 --> 00:27:45,063
    A realist.
    394
    00:27:45,146 --> 00:27:49,223

    "Show me the heart unfettered


    by foolish dreams
    395
    00:27:49,317 --> 00:27:51,517
    and I'll show you
    a happy man."
    396
    00:27:51,611 --> 00:27:55,229
    "But only in their dreams
    can men be truly free.
    397
    00:27:55,323 --> 00:27:58,274
    'Twas always thus
    and always thus will be."
    398
    00:27:58,368 --> 00:28:00,401
    Tennyson?
    399
    00:28:00,495 --> 00:28:02,653
    No. Keating.
    400
    00:28:07,502 --> 00:28:10,077
    Hey I found his senior
    annual in the library.
    401

    Listen to this.

    00:28:19,556 --> 00:28:22,256
    "Man Most Likely
    To Do Anything."
    405
    00:28:22,350 --> 00:28:25,718
    Thigh man?
    Mr "K" was a hell- raiser.
    406
    00:28:25,812 --> 00:28:28,513
    What's the Dead Poets Society?

    407
    00:28:28,606 --> 00:28:30,515
    - I don't know.
    - Is there a picture in the annual?
    408
    00:28:30,608 --> 00:28:32,517
    - Nothing. No other mention of it.
    - That boy there
    409
    00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:34,519
    see me after lunch.
    410
    00:28:38,116 --> 00:28:40,024
    Mr Keating?
    411
    00:28:40,118 --> 00:28:42,819
    Mr Keating?
    412
    00:28:42,912 --> 00:28:45,446
    Sir?
    413
    00:28:45,540 --> 00:28:48,293
    - Say something.
    - O Captain my Captain?
    414
    00:28:48,376 --> 00:28:50,868
    Gentlemen.
    415
    00:28:50,962 --> 00:28:54,539
    We were just looking
    in your old annual.
    416
    00:28:54,632 --> 00:28:56,916
    Oh my God.
    417
    00:28:57,010 --> 00:29:00,378
    No that's not me.
    418
    00:29:00,472 --> 00:29:03,423
    Stanley "The Tool" Wilson.
    419
    00:29:05,935 --> 00:29:09,595
    - God.
    - What was the Dead Poets Society?
    420
    00:29:13,943 --> 00:29:17,478
    I doubt the present administration

    would look too favourably upon that.


    421
    00:29:17,572 --> 00:29:20,241
    Why?
    What was it?
    422
    00:29:23,078 --> 00:29:27,290
    - Gentlemen can you keep a secret?
    - Sure.
    423
    00:29:29,584 --> 00:29:35,173
    The Dead Poets were dedicated
    to sucking the marrow out of life.
    424
    00:29:35,256 --> 00:29:38,510
    That's a phrase from Thoreau we'd invoke
    at the beginning of every meeting.
    425
    00:29:38,593 --> 00:29:41,169
    You see we would gather
    at the old Indian cave...
    426
    00:29:41,262 --> 00:29:45,809
    and take turns reading from Thoreau
    Whitman Shelley- - the biggies.
    427
    00:29:45,892 --> 00:29:47,686
    Even some of our own verse.
    428
    00:29:47,769 --> 00:29:51,387
    And in the enchantment of the moment
    we'd let poetry work its magic.
    429
    00:29:51,481 --> 00:29:54,682
    You mean it was a bunch of guys
    sitting around reading poetry?
    430
    00:29:54,776 --> 00:29:57,696
    No Mr Overstreet.
    It wasn't just guys.
    431
    00:29:57,779 --> 00:30:01,032
    We weren't a Greek organization.
    We were romantics.
    432
    00:30:01,116 --> 00:30:06,152
    We didn't just read poetry we let it
    drip from our tongues like honey.

    433
    00:30:06,246 --> 00:30:10,875
    Spirits soared women swooned
    and gods were created gentlemen.
    434
    00:30:10,959 --> 00:30:13,409
    Not a bad way
    to spend an evening eh?
    435
    00:30:13,503 --> 00:30:14,827
    Hmm.
    436
    00:30:14,921 --> 00:30:17,705
    Thank you Mr Perry
    for this stroll down amnesia lane.
    437
    00:30:17,799 --> 00:30:19,832
    Burn that.
    438
    00:30:19,926 --> 00:30:22,710
    Especially my picture.
    439
    00:30:22,804 --> 00:30:28,226
    Dead Poets Society.
    440
    00:30:28,309 --> 00:30:30,270
    What?
    441
    00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:36,390
    - I say we go tonight.
    - Tonight?
    442
    00:30:36,484 --> 00:30:38,559
    - Wait a minute.
    - Everybody in?
    443
    00:30:38,653 --> 00:30:40,728
    - Where's this cave he's talking about?
    - It's beyond the stream.
    444
    00:30:40,822 --> 00:30:43,231
    - I know where it is.
    - That's miles.
    445
    00:30:43,324 --> 00:30:46,526
    - Sounds boring to me.
    - Don't go.

    446
    00:30:46,619 --> 00:30:49,070
    - You know how many
    demerits we're talking?
    - So don't come. Please.
    447
    00:30:49,164 --> 00:30:51,572
    Look all I'm saying
    is that we have to be careful.
    448
    00:30:51,666 --> 00:30:54,784
    - We can't get caught.
    - No shit Sherlock.
    449
    00:30:54,878 --> 00:30:57,745
    You boys there!
    Hurry up!
    450
    00:30:57,839 --> 00:31:00,925
    - All right who's in?
    - Aw come on Neil. Hager's- 451
    00:31:01,009 --> 00:31:04,377
    Forget Hager! No!
    Who's in?
    452
    00:31:04,471 --> 00:31:06,295
    I'm in.
    453
    00:31:07,474 --> 00:31:10,091
    I'm warning you! Move!
    454
    00:31:10,185 --> 00:31:11,300
    Me too.
    455
    00:31:11,394 --> 00:31:13,761
    - I don't know Neil.
    - What? Pitts!
    456
    00:31:13,855 --> 00:31:15,763
    - Pittsie come on.
    - His grades are hurting.
    457
    00:31:15,857 --> 00:31:18,558
    - You can help him Meeks.
    - What is this a midnight study group?
    458

    00:31:18,651 --> 00:31:21,404


    Forget it Pitts. You're coming.
    Meeks your grades hurting too?
    459
    00:31:21,488 --> 00:31:23,813
    - I'll try anything once.
    - Except sex.
    460
    00:31:23,907 --> 00:31:26,232
    - Ha ha ha.
    - I'm in as long as we're careful.
    461
    00:31:26,326 --> 00:31:28,901
    - What about you Knox?
    - I don't know Charlie.
    462
    00:31:28,995 --> 00:31:31,070
    Come on Knox.
    It'll help you get Chris.
    463
    00:31:31,164 --> 00:31:33,072
    Yeah? How?
    464
    00:31:33,166 --> 00:31:36,909
    - Women swoon.
    - But why do they swoon?
    465
    00:31:37,003 --> 00:31:40,455
    Charlie tell me why they swoon!
    Charlie!
    466
    00:31:43,009 --> 00:31:45,460
    Okay
    follow the stream to the waterfall.
    467
    00:31:45,553 --> 00:31:47,462
    It's right there.
    It's got to be on the banks.
    468
    00:31:47,555 --> 00:31:49,464
    I don't know.
    This is starting to sound dangerous.
    469
    00:31:49,557 --> 00:31:52,967
    - Oh well why don't you stay home?
    - Hey you're crazy.
    470
    00:31:53,061 --> 00:31:56,929

    For God's sake


    stop chattering and sit down.
    471
    00:32:03,947 --> 00:32:06,647
    - Todd are you coming tonight?
    - No.
    472
    00:32:06,741 --> 00:32:08,816
    Why not? God you were there.
    You heard Keating.
    473
    00:32:08,910 --> 00:32:11,277
    - Don't you want
    to do something about that?
    - Yes.
    474
    00:32:11,371 --> 00:32:15,667
    - But- - But? But what?
    475
    00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:21,204
    Keating said that everybody
    took turns reading
    476
    00:32:21,297 --> 00:32:24,050
    and I don't want to do that.
    477
    00:32:24,134 --> 00:32:26,292
    Gosh you really have
    a problem with that don't you?
    478
    00:32:28,471 --> 00:32:30,880
    N- No I don't have a problem.
    479
    00:32:30,974 --> 00:32:34,310
    Neil I just- I don't want to do it okay?
    480
    00:32:34,394 --> 00:32:36,886
    All right.
    481
    00:32:36,980 --> 00:32:40,556
    What if you didn't have to read?
    What if you just came and listened?
    482
    00:32:40,650 --> 00:32:43,737
    - That's not how it works.
    - Well forget how it works.

    483
    00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:47,730
    What if- What if they said it was okay?
    484
    00:32:47,824 --> 00:32:50,691
    What- - What are you gonna
    go up and ask them?
    485
    00:32:50,785 --> 00:32:53,538
    No.
    No Neil.
    486
    00:32:53,621 --> 00:32:55,822
    - I'll be right back.
    - Neil. Neil!
    487
    00:32:58,585 --> 00:33:01,921
    Oh shut up will you?
    488
    00:33:04,007 --> 00:33:06,040
    That's for my asthma okay?
    489
    00:33:06,134 --> 00:33:08,709
    Could you give that back please?
    490
    00:33:08,803 --> 00:33:10,711
    What's the matter?
    Don't you like snakes?
    491
    00:33:10,805 --> 00:33:12,880
    - You're in.
    - Get away from me okay?
    492
    00:33:12,974 --> 00:33:16,384
    - Why don't you check your pocket huh?
    493
    00:33:16,478 --> 00:33:20,221
    - Come on. I have to brush my teeth.
    - Get a- - Get off.
    494
    00:33:20,315 --> 00:33:24,225
    - Cut out that racket in there!
    495
    00:34:26,131 --> 00:34:30,708
    Go. Go.

    496
    00:36:04,104 --> 00:36:06,596
    - I'm a dead poet!
    - Aw shit Charlie.
    497
    00:36:06,690 --> 00:36:10,558
    - Guys! Over here!
    - Funny. You're real funny.
    498
    00:36:10,652 --> 00:36:12,685
    It's too wet.
    499
    00:36:12,779 --> 00:36:14,687
    God are you trying
    to smoke us out of here?
    500
    00:36:14,781 --> 00:36:16,856
    No no. The smoke's
    going right up this opening.
    501
    00:36:19,994 --> 00:36:22,695
    You okay?
    502
    00:36:22,789 --> 00:36:25,198
    Oh God. Clowns.
    503
    00:36:25,291 --> 00:36:27,867
    All right forget the fire.
    504
    00:36:27,961 --> 00:36:31,047
    Let's go gentlemen.
    505
    00:36:31,131 --> 00:36:35,176
    - I hereby reconvene
    the Dead Poets Society
    506
    00:36:35,260 --> 00:36:37,543
    Welton Chapter.
    507
    00:36:37,637 --> 00:36:39,545
    The meetings will be
    conducted by myself...
    508
    00:36:39,639 --> 00:36:41,714
    and the other
    new initiates now present.
    509

    00:36:41,808 --> 00:36:43,841


    Todd Anderson because
    he prefers not to read
    510
    00:36:43,935 --> 00:36:46,427
    will keep minutes
    of the meetings.
    511
    00:36:46,521 --> 00:36:49,555
    I'll now read
    the traditional opening message...
    512
    00:36:49,649 --> 00:36:51,557
    by Society member
    Henry David Thoreau.
    513
    00:36:51,651 --> 00:36:54,571
    "I went to the woods because
    I wanted to live deliberately.
    514
    00:36:54,654 --> 00:36:57,323
    I wanted to live deep and suck
    out all the marrow of life."
    515
    00:36:57,407 --> 00:36:58,981
    I'll second that.
    516
    00:36:59,075 --> 00:37:01,567
    "To put to rout
    all that was not life.
    517
    00:37:01,661 --> 00:37:03,486
    "And not
    when I had come to die
    518
    00:37:03,580 --> 00:37:05,947
    discover
    that I had not lived."
    519
    00:37:09,544 --> 00:37:12,630
    - Keating's marked
    a bunch of other pages.
    - All right intermission!
    520
    00:37:12,714 --> 00:37:14,831
    Dig deep. Right here.
    Right here lay it down.
    521

    00:37:14,924 --> 00:37:16,999


    On the mud? We're gonna
    put our food on the mud?
    522
    00:37:17,093 --> 00:37:19,335
    Meeks put your coat down.
    Picnic blanket.
    523
    00:37:19,429 --> 00:37:22,349
    Use Meeks' coat.
    524
    00:37:22,432 --> 00:37:24,340
    Don't keep anything back either.
    525
    00:37:24,434 --> 00:37:27,187
    - You guys are always bumming my smokes.
    - Raisins?
    526
    00:37:27,270 --> 00:37:29,178
    - Yuck.
    - Wait a minute!
    527
    00:37:29,272 --> 00:37:32,359
    - Who gave us half a roll?
    - I'm eating the other half.
    528
    00:37:32,442 --> 00:37:35,226
    - Come on!
    - What you want me to put it back?
    529
    00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,354
    It was a dark and rainy night
    and this old lady
    530
    00:37:38,448 --> 00:37:40,690
    who had a passion
    for jigsaw puzzles
    531
    00:37:40,784 --> 00:37:45,330
    sat by herself in her house at her table
    to complete a new jigsaw puzzle.
    532
    00:37:45,413 --> 00:37:48,197
    But as she pieced
    the puzzle together
    533
    00:37:48,291 --> 00:37:50,199
    she realized

    to her astonishment
    534
    00:37:50,293 --> 00:37:53,703
    that the image that was formed
    was her very own room.
    535
    00:37:53,797 --> 00:37:56,038
    And the figure
    in the centre of the puzzle
    536
    00:37:56,132 --> 00:37:58,708
    as she completed it
    was herself.
    537
    00:37:58,802 --> 00:38:02,847
    And with trembling hands
    she placed the last four pieces...
    538
    00:38:02,931 --> 00:38:08,009
    and stared in horror at the face
    of a demented madman at the window.
    539
    00:38:08,103 --> 00:38:12,013
    The last thing that
    this old lady ever heard...
    540
    00:38:12,107 --> 00:38:14,859
    - was the sound of breaking glass.
    - No she didn't.
    541
    00:38:14,943 --> 00:38:17,696
    Yes this is true. This is true.
    542
    00:38:17,779 --> 00:38:20,354
    I've got one that's better than that.
    543
    00:38:20,448 --> 00:38:22,774
    I do. There's a young
    married couple
    544
    00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:25,359
    and they're driving through the forest
    at night on a long trip.
    545
    00:38:25,453 --> 00:38:28,029
    And they run out of gas
    and there's a madman on the- -

    546
    00:38:28,123 --> 00:38:29,530
    The thing with the hand?
    547
    00:38:29,624 --> 00:38:31,532
    I love that story!
    548
    00:38:31,626 --> 00:38:33,534
    - I told you that one.
    - You did not.
    549
    00:38:33,628 --> 00:38:35,703
    - I got that in camp in sixth grade.
    - Last year?
    550
    00:38:35,797 --> 00:38:37,872
    "In a mean abode
    in the Shanking Road
    551
    00:38:37,966 --> 00:38:39,874
    "lived a man named
    William Bloat.
    552
    00:38:39,968 --> 00:38:42,043
    "Now he had a wife
    the plague of his life
    553
    00:38:42,137 --> 00:38:44,212
    "who continually
    got his goat.
    554
    00:38:44,305 --> 00:38:46,714
    "And one day at dawn
    with her nightshift on
    555
    00:38:46,808 --> 00:38:49,050
    he slit
    her bloody throat."
    556
    00:38:49,144 --> 00:38:50,885
    Oh and it gets worse.
    557
    00:38:50,979 --> 00:38:53,221
    You want to hear
    a real poem?
    558
    00:38:53,314 --> 00:38:55,389
    - You want this?

    - No I don't need- - Get this outta here.


    559
    00:38:55,483 --> 00:38:57,391
    - What did you bring one?
    - You memorized a poem?
    560
    00:38:57,485 --> 00:39:00,238
    You memorized a poem?
    561
    00:39:00,321 --> 00:39:02,647
    - An original piece by Charlie Dalton.
    - An original piece.
    562
    00:39:02,741 --> 00:39:05,108
    - Take centre stage.
    - You know this is history right?
    563
    00:39:13,043 --> 00:39:15,618
    Wow. Whoa.
    564
    00:39:15,712 --> 00:39:17,912
    Where did you get that?
    565
    00:39:18,006 --> 00:39:19,288
    Where did you- 566
    00:39:19,382 --> 00:39:22,333
    - Whoa.
    - "Teach me to love?
    567
    00:39:22,427 --> 00:39:25,347
    "Go teach thyself more wit.
    568
    00:39:25,430 --> 00:39:27,672
    "I chief professor am of it.
    569
    00:39:27,766 --> 00:39:31,509
    "The god of love
    if such a thing there be
    570
    00:39:31,603 --> 00:39:33,678
    may learn to love from me."
    571
    00:39:33,772 --> 00:39:35,763
    Wow. Did you write that?
    572

    00:39:40,945 --> 00:39:43,104


    Abraham Cowley.
    573
    00:39:43,198 --> 00:39:45,106
    Okay.
    Who's next?
    574
    00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,525
    Alfred Lord Tennyson.
    575
    00:39:47,619 --> 00:39:49,694
    "Come my friends.
    576
    00:39:49,788 --> 00:39:52,707
    "'Tis not too late
    to seek a newer world.
    577
    00:39:52,791 --> 00:39:56,367
    "For my purpose holds
    to sail beyond the sunset.
    578
    00:39:56,461 --> 00:39:58,703
    "And though we are not
    now that strength...
    579
    00:39:58,797 --> 00:40:02,540
    "which in old days
    moved Earth and heaven.

    but strong in will...

    00:40:13,144 --> 00:40:18,222
    "to strive to seek to find
    584
    00:40:18,316 --> 00:40:20,725
    and not to yield."
    585
    00:40:21,903 --> 00:40:24,572

    "Then I had religion


    then I had a vision.
    586
    00:40:24,656 --> 00:40:27,064

    589
    00:40:32,747 --> 00:40:35,417
    - Then I saw the Congo
    creeping through the black

    590
    00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:37,909
    cutting through the forest
    with a golden track.
    591

    Then I saw the Congo
    creeping through the black

    - cutting through the forest

    00:40:48,179 --> 00:40:50,588
    Then I saw the Congo
    creeping through the black
    596
    00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:53,518
    cutting through the forest
    with a golden track!
    597

    00:40:53,601 --> 00:40:55,760


    Then I saw the Congo
    creeping through the black
    598
    00:40:55,854 --> 00:40:58,096
    cutting through the forest
    with a golden track!
    599

    Then I saw the Congo

    cutting through the forest

    603
    00:41:10,618 --> 00:41:12,860
    Cutting through the forest
    with a golden track!

    00:41:12,954 --> 00:41:15,874
    Then I saw the Congo

    00:41:24,507 --> 00:41:27,208
    A man is not "very tired. "
    He is "exhausted. "
    606
    00:41:27,302 --> 00:41:29,210
    And don't use "very sad."
    Use- 607
    00:41:29,304 --> 00:41:31,546
    Come on Mr Overstreet
    you twerp.
    608
    00:41:31,639 --> 00:41:35,049
    - "Morose"?
    - Exactly! Morose!
    609

    00:41:35,143 --> 00:41:38,970


    Language was developed for one
    endeavour and that is- - Mr Anderson?
    610
    00:41:39,064 --> 00:41:42,233
    Come on
    are you a man or an amoeba?
    611
    00:41:44,736 --> 00:41:46,727
    Mr Perry?
    612
    00:41:48,990 --> 00:41:51,659
    Uh... to communicate.
    613
    00:41:51,743 --> 00:41:54,579
    No! To woo women.
    614
    00:41:54,662 --> 00:41:57,071
    Today we're going to be talking...
    615
    00:41:57,165 --> 00:41:59,918
    - about William Shakespeare.
    - Oh God.
    616
    00:42:00,001 --> 00:42:01,909
    I know. A lot of you
    look forward to this...
    617
    00:42:02,003 --> 00:42:04,370
    about as much as you look forward
    to root canal work.
    618
    00:42:04,464 --> 00:42:06,456
    We're gonna talk
    about Shakespeare...
    619
    00:42:06,549 --> 00:42:09,167
    as someone who writes
    something very interesting.
    620
    00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:12,879
    Now many of you have seen Shakespeare
    done very much like this:
    621
    00:42:12,972 --> 00:42:16,226
    "O Titus bring your friend hither."
    622

    00:42:16,309 --> 00:42:19,229


    But if any of you have seen
    Mr Marlon Brando
    623
    00:42:19,312 --> 00:42:21,387
    you know
    that Shakespeare can be different.
    624
    00:42:21,481 --> 00:42:25,558
    "Friends Romans countrymen
    lend me your ears."
    625
    00:42:28,321 --> 00:42:30,897
    You can also imagine maybe
    John Wayne as Macbeth going...
    626
    00:42:30,990 --> 00:42:34,942
    "Well
    is this a dagger I see before me?"
    627
    00:42:37,205 --> 00:42:40,990
    "Dogs sir?
    Oh not just now.
    628
    00:42:41,084 --> 00:42:45,244
    "I do enjoy a good dog
    once in a while sir.
    629
    00:42:45,338 --> 00:42:48,748
    "You can have yourself
    a three- course meal from one dog.
    630
    00:42:48,842 --> 00:42:52,971
    "Start with a canine croquette.
    631
    00:42:53,054 --> 00:42:54,962
    "Go to your Fido Flambe
    for main course.
    632
    00:42:55,056 --> 00:42:57,924
    'And for dessert
    a Pekingese parfait.
    633
    00:42:58,018 --> 00:43:00,134
    And you can pick your teeth
    with the little paw. "
    634
    00:43:02,772 --> 00:43:04,806

    Why do I stand up here?


    635
    00:43:04,899 --> 00:43:07,350
    - Anybody?
    - To feel taller.
    636
    00:43:07,444 --> 00:43:09,352
    No! Thank you for playing.
    637
    00:43:09,446 --> 00:43:11,979
    I stand upon my desk...
    638
    00:43:12,073 --> 00:43:17,193
    to remind myself that we must constantly
    look at things in a different way.
    639
    00:43:22,292 --> 00:43:24,534
    See the world looks
    very different from up here.
    640
    00:43:24,627 --> 00:43:26,661
    You don't believe me?
    641
    00:43:26,755 --> 00:43:30,206
    Come see for yourselves.
    Come on.
    642
    00:43:30,300 --> 00:43:33,709
    Come on. Just when you
    think you know something
    643
    00:43:33,803 --> 00:43:35,711
    you have to look at it
    in another way.
    644
    00:43:35,805 --> 00:43:38,558
    Even though it may seem
    silly or wrong
    645
    00:43:38,641 --> 00:43:40,550
    you must try.
    646
    00:43:40,643 --> 00:43:43,010
    Now when you read don't just
    consider what the author thinks.
    647
    00:43:43,104 --> 00:43:47,014

    Consider what you think.


    648
    00:43:47,108 --> 00:43:50,560
    Boys you must strive
    to find your own voice.
    649
    00:43:50,653 --> 00:43:52,562
    Because the longer
    you wait to begin
    650
    00:43:52,655 --> 00:43:55,022
    the less likely you are
    to find it at all.
    651
    00:43:55,116 --> 00:43:58,401
    Thoreau said "Most men lead
    lives of quiet desperation."
    652
    00:43:58,495 --> 00:44:02,029
    Don't be resigned to that.
    Break out.
    653
    00:44:02,123 --> 00:44:05,408
    Don't just walk off the edge
    like lemmings. Look around you.
    654
    00:44:05,502 --> 00:44:08,202
    There you go Mr Priske. Thank you!
    655
    00:44:08,296 --> 00:44:10,371
    Yes!
    656
    00:44:10,465 --> 00:44:14,709
    Dare to strike out
    and find new ground.
    657
    00:44:14,803 --> 00:44:17,378
    Now in addition to your essays
    658
    00:44:17,472 --> 00:44:20,923
    I would like you to compose
    a poem of your own an original work.
    659
    00:44:21,017 --> 00:44:25,563
    Ooh!
    660
    00:44:25,647 --> 00:44:27,722

    That's right.
    661
    00:44:27,816 --> 00:44:31,642
    You have to deliver it aloud
    in front of the class on Monday.
    662
    00:44:31,736 --> 00:44:33,644
    Bon chance gentlemen.
    663
    00:44:35,365 --> 00:44:37,732
    Mr Anderson.
    664
    00:44:37,826 --> 00:44:42,904
    Don't think I don't know this assignment
    scares the hell out of you you mole.
    665
    00:44:56,511 --> 00:44:58,878
    Take a power train in two!
    666
    00:45:00,682 --> 00:45:03,852
    - Three keep your eyes in the boat!
    - Stroke! Stroke!
    667
    00:45:03,935 --> 00:45:06,260
    Stroke! Stroke!
    668
    00:45:06,354 --> 00:45:10,515
    - We got it Pittsie.
    669
    00:45:10,608 --> 00:45:13,976
    Radio Free America!
    670
    00:45:14,070 --> 00:45:17,021
    Some people like to rock
    Some people like to roll
    671
    00:45:17,115 --> 00:45:20,285
    But movin'and a- groovin'
    is gonna satisfy my soul
    672
    00:45:20,368 --> 00:45:22,527
    Let's have a party
    Oooh
    673
    00:45:22,620 --> 00:45:25,373
    Let's have a party

    674
    00:45:25,457 --> 00:45:28,543
    Let's spin it to the soul
    Let's rock and roll
    675
    00:45:28,626 --> 00:45:31,379
    Let's have a party tonight
    676
    00:45:31,463 --> 00:45:34,215
    I never kissed a bear
    I never kissed a goose
    677
    00:45:34,299 --> 00:45:36,374
    But I can shake a chicken
    in the middle of the room
    678
    00:45:36,468 --> 00:45:38,376
    - Let's have a party
    679
    00:45:41,139 --> 00:45:43,714
    - I found it.
    - You found what?
    680
    00:45:43,808 --> 00:45:47,062
    What I want to do right now.
    What's really really inside of me.
    681
    00:45:47,145 --> 00:45:49,387
    - "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
    - This is it.
    682
    00:45:49,481 --> 00:45:52,348
    - What is that?
    - It's a play dummy.
    683
    00:45:52,442 --> 00:45:54,976
    I know that.
    Wh- What does it have to do with you?
    684
    00:45:55,070 --> 00:45:57,061
    All right they're
    putting it on at Henley Hall.
    685
    00:45:57,155 --> 00:45:59,480
    Open tryouts.
    Open tryouts!
    686
    00:45:59,574 --> 00:46:01,482

    - Yeah so?
    - So!
    687
    00:46:01,576 --> 00:46:05,486
    I'm gonna act.
    688
    00:46:05,580 --> 00:46:08,666
    Yes! Yes!
    I'm gonna be an actor!
    689
    00:46:08,750 --> 00:46:10,825
    Ever since I can remember
    I've wanted to try this!
    690
    00:46:10,919 --> 00:46:12,827
    I even tried to go
    to summer stock auditions last year
    691
    00:46:12,921 --> 00:46:14,996
    but of course
    my father wouldn't let me.
    692
    00:46:15,090 --> 00:46:18,499
    For the first time in my whole life
    I know what I want to do.
    693
    00:46:18,593 --> 00:46:21,169
    And for
    the first time I'm gonna do it...
    694
    00:46:21,262 --> 00:46:23,171
    whether my father
    wants me to or not!
    695
    00:46:23,264 --> 00:46:26,518
    - Carpe diem!
    - Neil Neil hold it.
    696
    00:46:26,601 --> 00:46:30,052
    How are you gonna be in a play
    if your father won't let you?
    697
    00:46:30,146 --> 00:46:32,847
    First I gotta get the part
    then I can worry about that.
    698
    00:46:32,941 --> 00:46:35,349
    But won't he kill you if he finds out

    you went to an audition


    and didn't tell him?
    699
    00:46:35,443 --> 00:46:38,394
    No no no. As far as I'm concerned
    he won't have to know about any of this.
    700
    00:46:38,488 --> 00:46:41,939
    - Well that's impossible.
    - Bullshit. Nothing's impossible.
    701
    00:46:42,033 --> 00:46:44,703
    Well why don't you just call him
    and ask him and m- maybe he'll say yes.
    702
    00:46:44,786 --> 00:46:47,361
    That's a laugh.
    703
    00:46:47,455 --> 00:46:50,709
    If I don't ask him
    at least I won't be disobeying him.
    704
    00:46:50,792 --> 00:46:53,576
    - Yeah but if he said no before- - Jesus Todd whose side are you on?
    705
    00:47:04,764 --> 00:47:08,018
    I mean I haven't even
    gotten the part yet.
    706
    00:47:08,101 --> 00:47:12,147
    Can't I even enjoy the idea
    for a little while?
    707
    00:47:21,448 --> 00:47:25,858
    - You're coming to the meeting?
    - I don't know. Maybe.
    708
    00:47:25,952 --> 00:47:30,363
    Nothing Mr Keating has to say
    means shit to you does it Todd?
    709
    00:47:30,457 --> 00:47:32,698
    - Wh- What is that supposed to mean?
    - You're in the club!
    710
    00:47:32,792 --> 00:47:35,159
    Being in the club means

    being stirred up by things.


    711
    00:47:35,253 --> 00:47:37,161
    You look about
    as stirred up as a cesspool.
    712
    00:47:37,255 --> 00:47:40,706
    - So you want me out?
    - No I want you in!
    713
    00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:43,668
    But being in means you gotta do
    something not just say you're in.
    714
    00:47:43,762 --> 00:47:46,879
    Listen Neil I mean
    I appreciate this concern
    715
    00:47:46,973 --> 00:47:49,382
    but I'm not like you
    all right?
    716
    00:47:49,476 --> 00:47:52,729
    You- - You- You say things
    and people listen.
    717
    00:47:52,812 --> 00:47:54,773
    I- - I- I'm not like that.
    718
    00:47:54,856 --> 00:47:56,931
    - Don't you think you could be?
    - No.
    719
    00:47:57,025 --> 00:47:59,944
    I- - I- I don't know
    but that's not the point.
    720
    00:48:00,028 --> 00:48:04,324
    The point is there's nothing you can
    do about it so you can just butt out.
    721
    00:48:04,407 --> 00:48:06,774
    I can take care
    of myself just fine.
    722
    00:48:06,868 --> 00:48:08,985
    All right?

    723
    00:48:11,081 --> 00:48:12,989
    No.
    724
    00:48:15,919 --> 00:48:17,879
    What do you mean "no"?
    725
    00:48:19,089 --> 00:48:21,289
    No.
    726
    00:48:21,383 --> 00:48:23,458
    Give me that!
    Neil!
    727
    00:48:23,551 --> 00:48:25,668
    - Neil give that back!
    - "We are dreaming of a tomorrow- - "
    728
    00:48:25,762 --> 00:48:27,670
    - It's poetry!
    - Neil!
    729
    00:48:27,764 --> 00:48:30,173
    I'm being chased by Walt Whitman!
    730
    00:48:30,266 --> 00:48:32,341
    Okay! Okay!
    731
    00:48:32,435 --> 00:48:35,188
    What are you guys doing?
    I'm trying- - You see this chemistry- 732
    00:48:35,271 --> 00:48:37,680
    Hey. Give me- - Neil give me- 733
    00:48:37,774 --> 00:48:39,682
    Don't be immature. Come on!
    734
    00:48:39,776 --> 00:48:42,351
    - I need my- - Give it to me!
    735
    00:48:42,445 --> 00:48:44,687
    Charlie!
    736
    00:48:44,781 --> 00:48:47,356
    Let me have my book. I need my- -

    737
    00:50:16,164 --> 00:50:20,575
    Okay everybody on the bus.
    738
    00:50:20,669 --> 00:50:24,078
    Let's go boys.
    739
    00:50:24,172 --> 00:50:26,330
    Come on. Let's go. On the bus boys.
    740
    00:50:26,424 --> 00:50:29,260
    Now!
    741
    00:50:30,512 --> 00:50:32,253
    Now devotees may argue...
    742
    00:50:32,347 --> 00:50:35,923
    that one sport or game
    is inherently better than another.
    743
    00:50:36,017 --> 00:50:38,770
    For me sport
    is actually a chance...
    744
    00:50:38,853 --> 00:50:42,346
    for us to have other human beings
    push us to excel.
    745
    00:50:42,440 --> 00:50:46,017
    I want you all to come over here
    and take a slip of paper...
    746
    00:50:46,111 --> 00:50:48,947
    and line up single file.
    747
    00:50:49,030 --> 00:50:51,105
    Mr Meeks
    time to inherit the Earth.
    748
    00:50:51,199 --> 00:50:55,109
    Mr Pitts...
    rise above your name.
    749
    00:50:55,203 --> 00:50:59,332
    I want you to hand these out
    to the boys one apiece.

    750
    00:50:59,416 --> 00:51:03,034
    You know what to do Pitts!
    751
    00:51:03,128 --> 00:51:06,381
    "Oh to struggle against great odds
    to meet enemies undaunted."
    752
    00:51:06,464 --> 00:51:09,551
    Sounds like you're daunted.
    Say it again like you're undaunted.
    753
    00:51:09,634 --> 00:51:12,721
    "Oh to struggle against great odds
    to meet enemies undaunted"!
    754
    00:51:12,804 --> 00:51:15,129
    Now go on!
    755
    00:51:15,223 --> 00:51:17,381
    Yes!
    Next!
    756
    00:51:17,475 --> 00:51:22,720
    "To be a sailor of the world
    bound for all ports."
    757
    00:51:22,814 --> 00:51:25,223
    Next.
    Louder!
    758
    00:51:25,316 --> 00:51:29,362
    "Oh I live to be the ruler of life
    not a slave."
    759
    00:51:29,446 --> 00:51:31,354
    "To mount the scaffolds.
    760
    00:51:31,448 --> 00:51:34,649
    To advance to the muzzles of guns
    with perfect nonchalance. "
    761
    00:51:39,831 --> 00:51:42,156
    Come on Meeks!
    Listen to the music!
    762
    00:51:42,250 --> 00:51:46,244
    "To dance clap hands

    exalt shout skip


    763
    00:51:46,338 --> 00:51:49,997
    - roll on float on!"
    - Yes!
    764
    00:51:51,384 --> 00:51:54,502
    "Oh to have life henceforth
    the poem of new joys."
    765
    00:51:56,598 --> 00:51:58,923
    Boo!
    766
    00:51:59,017 --> 00:52:01,384
    Come on Charlie
    let it fill your soul.
    767
    00:52:01,478 --> 00:52:03,845
    "To indeed be a god!"
    768
    00:52:05,857 --> 00:52:08,349
    Charlie I got the part!
    769
    00:52:08,443 --> 00:52:10,351
    I'm gonna play Puck!
    770
    00:52:10,445 --> 00:52:12,353
    - I'm gonna play Puck!
    - What did he say?
    771
    00:52:12,447 --> 00:52:14,355
    - Puck you!
    - The main part!
    772
    00:52:14,449 --> 00:52:16,357
    - Great Neil!
    - Charlie I got it!
    773
    00:52:16,451 --> 00:52:19,204
    - Congratulations.
    - Good for you! Good for you!
    774
    00:52:19,287 --> 00:52:22,540
    Okay okay okay okay.
    775
    00:52:22,624 --> 00:52:25,199
    Neil how are you gonna do this?

    776
    00:52:25,293 --> 00:52:29,203
    They need a letter of permission
    from my father and Mr Nolan.
    777
    00:52:29,297 --> 00:52:31,873
    - You're not gonna write it.
    - Oh yes I am.
    778
    00:52:31,966 --> 00:52:35,220
    Oh Neil- - Neil you're crazy.
    779
    00:52:35,303 --> 00:52:37,462
    Okay.
    780
    00:52:37,555 --> 00:52:41,215
    I am writing to you...
    781
    00:52:41,309 --> 00:52:44,396
    on behalf of...
    782
    00:52:44,479 --> 00:52:47,232
    my son...
    783
    00:52:47,315 --> 00:52:50,235
    Neil Perry.
    784
    00:52:50,318 --> 00:52:54,270
    This is great!
    785
    00:53:44,258 --> 00:53:48,043
    "To Chris."
    786
    00:53:48,136 --> 00:53:50,628
    Who's Chris? Mmm Chris.
    787
    00:53:50,722 --> 00:53:53,757
    "I see a sweetness
    in her smile.
    788
    00:53:53,850 --> 00:53:56,176
    "Bright light shines
    from her eyes.
    789
    00:53:58,188 --> 00:54:01,890
    "But life is complete

    contentment is mine...
    790
    00:54:01,984 --> 00:54:05,570
    "just knowing that- 791
    00:54:05,654 --> 00:54:09,105
    "Just knowing that...
    792
    00:54:09,199 --> 00:54:10,993
    she's alive."
    793
    00:54:11,076 --> 00:54:14,194
    - I'm sorry Captain. It's stupid.
    - No. No it's not stupid.
    794
    00:54:14,288 --> 00:54:18,208
    It's a good effort. It touched on
    one of the major themes: love.
    795
    00:54:18,292 --> 00:54:21,326
    A major theme
    not only in poetry but life.
    796
    00:54:21,420 --> 00:54:26,216
    Mr Hopkins you were laughing.
    You're up.
    797
    00:54:35,392 --> 00:54:39,177
    "The cat sat on the mat."
    798
    00:54:44,943 --> 00:54:46,518
    Congratulations Mr Hopkins.
    799
    00:54:46,612 --> 00:54:49,239
    Yours is the first poem to ever have
    a negative score on the Pritchard scale.
    800
    00:54:49,323 --> 00:54:52,857
    We're not laughing at you
    we're laughing near you.
    801
    00:54:52,951 --> 00:54:55,527
    I don't mind that your poem
    had a simple theme.
    802
    00:54:55,621 --> 00:54:57,862
    Sometimes the most beautiful poetry

    can be about simple things


    803
    00:54:57,956 --> 00:55:00,990
    like a cat or a flower or rain.
    804
    00:55:01,084 --> 00:55:04,285
    You see poetry can come from anything
    with the stuff of revelation in it.
    805
    00:55:04,379 --> 00:55:06,538
    Just don't let your poems
    be ordinary.
    806
    00:55:08,634 --> 00:55:11,345
    Now who's next?
    807
    00:55:12,596 --> 00:55:16,381
    Mr Anderson I see you
    sitting there in agony.
    808
    00:55:16,475 --> 00:55:19,509
    Come on Todd step up.
    Let's put you out of your misery.
    809
    00:55:22,356 --> 00:55:24,431
    I- I didn't do it.
    I didn't write a poem.
    810
    00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:33,200
    Mr Anderson thinks everything inside
    of him is worthless and embarrassing.
    811
    00:55:33,283 --> 00:55:37,861
    Isn't that right Todd?
    Isn't that your worst fear?
    812
    00:55:37,955 --> 00:55:40,530
    Well I think you're wrong. I think
    you have something inside of you...
    813
    00:55:40,624 --> 00:55:43,627
    that is worth a great deal.
    814
    00:55:43,710 --> 00:55:47,245
    "I sound...
    815
    00:55:47,339 --> 00:55:52,636

    "my barbaric...
    816
    00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:55,628
    "yawp...
    817
    00:55:58,433 --> 00:56:00,675
    "over the rooftops...

    00:56:00,769 --> 00:56:03,230
    of the world. "
    819
    00:56:05,524 --> 00:56:09,278
    W.W.
    Uncle Walt again.
    820
    00:56:09,361 --> 00:56:13,855
    Now for those of you who don't know
    a yawp is a loud cry or yell.
    821
    00:56:13,949 --> 00:56:18,245
    Now Todd I would like you to give us
    a demonstration of a barbaric yawp.
    822
    00:56:18,328 --> 00:56:21,613
    Come on you can't yawp sitting down.
    823
    00:56:21,707 --> 00:56:23,917
    Let's go.
    Come on up.
    824
    00:56:24,001 --> 00:56:28,005
    Got to get in yawping stance.
    825
    00:56:28,088 --> 00:56:31,790
    - A- Ayawp?
    - Not just a yawp. A barbaric yawp.
    826
    00:56:31,883 --> 00:56:36,378
    - Right. Yawp.
    - Come on. Louder.
    827
    00:56:36,471 --> 00:56:38,515
    - Yawp.
    - That's a mouse. Come on louder!
    828
    00:56:38,599 --> 00:56:40,507
    - Yawp.

    - Oh good God boy yell like a man!


    829
    00:56:40,601 --> 00:56:42,008
    - Yawp!
    - There it is.
    830
    00:56:42,102 --> 00:56:44,594
    You see you have a barbarian
    in you after all.
    831
    00:56:44,688 --> 00:56:47,149
    You don't get away that easy. There's
    a picture of Uncle Walt up there.
    832
    00:56:47,232 --> 00:56:51,153
    What does he remind you of?
    Don't think answer. Go on.
    833
    00:56:51,236 --> 00:56:53,478
    - A m- m- m- madman.
    - What kind of madman?
    834
    00:56:53,572 --> 00:56:55,480
    - Don't think about it just answer.
    - A cr- crazy madman.
    835
    00:56:55,574 --> 00:56:58,358
    No you can do better than that.
    Free up your mind. Use your imagination.
    836
    00:56:58,452 --> 00:57:00,996
    Say the first thing that pops into
    your head even if it's total gibberish.
    837
    00:57:01,079 --> 00:57:03,154
    A- A- A sweaty- toothed madman.
    838
    00:57:03,248 --> 00:57:05,876
    Good God boy there's
    a poet in you after all!
    839
    00:57:05,959 --> 00:57:08,743
    There. Close your eyes.
    Close your eyes. Close them.
    840
    00:57:08,837 --> 00:57:10,912
    Now describe what you see.

    841
    00:57:11,006 --> 00:57:13,717
    - Uh I- I close my eyes...
    - Yes?
    842
    00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:17,471
    - uh and his image floats beside me.
    - A sweaty- toothed madman.
    843
    00:57:17,554 --> 00:57:20,265
    A sweaty- toothed madman with
    a stare that pounds my brain.
    844
    00:57:20,349 --> 00:57:21,756
    Oh that's excellent!
    845
    00:57:21,850 --> 00:57:23,758
    Now give him action
    make him do something.
    846
    00:57:23,852 --> 00:57:26,313
    - H- His hands reach out and choke me.
    - That's it. Wonderful. Wonderful.
    847
    00:57:26,396 --> 00:57:28,304
    - And all the time he's mumbling.
    - What's he mumbling?
    848
    00:57:28,398 --> 00:57:30,306
    - Mumbling truth.
    - Yes.
    849
    00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,820
    - Truth is like a blanket that
    always leaves your feet cold.
    850
    00:57:33,904 --> 00:57:36,855
    Forget them. Forget them. Stay with
    the blanket. Tell me about that blanket.
    851
    00:57:36,949 --> 00:57:40,369
    Y- Y- You push it stretch it
    it'll never be enough.
    852
    00:57:40,452 --> 00:57:42,527
    You kick at it beat it
    it'll never cover any of us.
    853

    00:57:42,621 --> 00:57:45,958


    From the moment we enter crying
    to the moment we leave dying
    854
    00:57:46,041 --> 00:57:50,952
    it'll just cover your face
    as you wail and cry and scream.
    855
    00:57:59,471 --> 00:58:02,339
    Don't you forget this.
    856
    00:59:03,577 --> 00:59:05,954
    That a boy Pittsie.
    857
    00:59:06,038 --> 00:59:08,279
    - Inhale deeply.
    - My dad collects pipes.
    858
    00:59:08,373 --> 00:59:10,615
    - Really?
    - He must have 30.
    859
    00:59:10,709 --> 00:59:13,378
    Your parents collect pipes?
    Oh that's interesting.
    860
    00:59:13,462 --> 00:59:17,622
    - Come on Knox. Join in.
    - Yeah Knox we're from the government.
    861
    00:59:17,716 --> 00:59:19,624
    We're here to help.
    What's wrong?
    862
    00:59:19,718 --> 00:59:23,003
    - It's Chris!
    - Here's a picture of Chris for you!
    863
    00:59:23,096 --> 00:59:25,005
    - Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
    - It's not funny.
    864
    00:59:25,098 --> 00:59:28,518
    Knock it off.
    Smoke your pipes.
    865
    00:59:28,602 --> 00:59:33,315
    - Neil.

    - Friends scholars Welton men.


    866
    00:59:33,398 --> 00:59:35,609
    What is that Neil?
    867
    00:59:35,692 --> 00:59:40,822
    - Duh it's a lamp Meeks.
    - No this is the god of the cave.
    868
    00:59:40,906 --> 00:59:42,313
    The god of the cave.
    869
    00:59:44,576 --> 00:59:47,829
    - Charlie what are you doing?
    - What do you say we start this meeting?
    870
    00:59:47,913 --> 00:59:51,031
    - I need a light. Who's got a light?
    - Anybody bring earplugs?
    871
    00:59:51,124 --> 00:59:54,409
    Gentlemen.
    872
    00:59:54,503 --> 00:59:59,132
    "Poetrusic" by Charles Dalton.
    873
    00:59:59,216 --> 01:00:02,834
    Oh man.
    874
    01:00:02,928 --> 01:00:05,597
    Laughing crying
    tumbling mumbling.
    875
    01:00:05,681 --> 01:00:07,724
    Gotta do more
    gotta be more.
    876
    01:00:09,935 --> 01:00:12,719
    Pitts.
    877
    01:00:12,813 --> 01:00:16,566
    Chaos screaming chaos dreaming.
    Gotta do more gotta be more!
    878
    01:00:48,473 --> 01:00:52,008
    - Wow. Nice.
    - That was great.

    879
    01:00:52,102 --> 01:00:54,010
    Where did you learn
    to play like that?
    880
    01:00:54,104 --> 01:00:56,732
    My parents made me take
    the clarinet for years!
    881
    01:00:56,815 --> 01:00:59,224
    - I love the clarinet.
    - I hated it.
    882
    01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:06,398
    The saxophone.
    The saxophone is more... sonorous.
    883
    01:01:06,491 --> 01:01:09,119
    Ooh more sonorous.
    Vocabulary.
    884
    01:01:09,202 --> 01:01:12,789
    I can't take
    it any more. If I don't have Chris
    885
    01:01:12,873 --> 01:01:16,074
    - I'm gonna kill myself.
    - Knoxious calm down.
    886
    01:01:16,168 --> 01:01:20,172
    No Charlie!
    That's just my problem.
    887
    01:01:20,255 --> 01:01:23,926
    I've been calm all my life.
    I'm gonna do something about that.
    888
    01:01:24,009 --> 01:01:26,553
    Where are you going?
    What are you gonna do?
    889
    01:01:26,637 --> 01:01:28,795
    I'm gonna call her.
    890
    01:01:28,889 --> 01:01:32,966
    - He's gonna call her!
    - Wait for me!

    891
    01:01:35,062 --> 01:01:36,970
    Hello?
    892
    01:01:37,064 --> 01:01:39,816
    She's gonna hate me.
    893
    01:01:42,027 --> 01:01:43,852
    The Danburrys will hate me.
    894
    01:01:43,946 --> 01:01:47,147
    My parents will kill me.
    895
    01:01:51,536 --> 01:01:53,664
    All right goddam it.
    896
    01:01:53,747 --> 01:01:57,365
    You're right.
    Carpe diem.
    897
    01:01:57,459 --> 01:01:59,784
    Even if it kills me.
    898
    01:02:07,886 --> 01:02:09,794
    - Hello?
    - Hello Chris?
    899
    01:02:09,888 --> 01:02:12,808
    - Yes.
    - Hi. This is Knox Overstreet.
    900
    01:02:12,891 --> 01:02:16,478
    Oh yes. Knox.
    901
    01:02:16,561 --> 01:02:19,481
    - I'm glad you called.
    - She's glad I called.
    902
    01:02:19,564 --> 01:02:21,692
    Listen Chet's parents
    are going out of town this weekend
    903
    01:02:21,775 --> 01:02:23,683
    and he's having a party.
    904
    01:02:23,777 --> 01:02:25,821
    - Would you like to come?

    - Would I like to come to a party?


    905
    01:02:25,904 --> 01:02:28,824
    - Yes. Say yes.
    - It's Friday.
    - Well sure.
    906
    01:02:28,907 --> 01:02:30,732
    - About 7.:00.
    - Great. I'll be there Chris.
    907
    01:02:30,826 --> 01:02:33,662
    - Okay.
    - Friday night at the Danburrys'. Okay.
    908
    01:02:33,745 --> 01:02:35,987
    - Okay. Bye.
    - Thank you. I'll see you. Bye.
    909
    01:02:36,081 --> 01:02:38,406
    Yawp!
    910
    01:02:40,586 --> 01:02:42,494
    Can you believe it?
    911
    01:02:42,588 --> 01:02:45,299
    She was gonna call me.
    912
    01:02:45,382 --> 01:02:47,843
    She invited me
    to a party with her.
    913
    01:02:47,926 --> 01:02:50,637
    - At Chet Danburry's house.
    - Yeah.
    914
    01:02:50,721 --> 01:02:53,296
    - Well?
    - So?
    915
    01:02:53,390 --> 01:02:57,967
    So you don't really think
    she means you're going with her?
    916
    01:02:58,061 --> 01:03:01,481
    Well of course not Charlie.
    But that's not the point.

    917
    01:03:01,565 --> 01:03:05,809
    - That's not the point at all.
    - What is the point?
    918
    01:03:05,902 --> 01:03:11,147
    - The point Charlie...
    - Uh- huh?
    919
    01:03:11,241 --> 01:03:14,995
    - is...
    - Yeah?
    920
    01:03:15,078 --> 01:03:18,697
    that she was
    thinking about me.
    921
    01:03:18,790 --> 01:03:21,543
    I've only met her once
    and already...
    922
    01:03:21,627 --> 01:03:23,670
    she's thinking about me.
    923
    01:03:23,754 --> 01:03:26,329
    Damn it it's gonna happen guys.
    924
    01:03:26,423 --> 01:03:28,634
    I feel it.
    925
    01:03:28,717 --> 01:03:31,835
    She is going to be mine.
    926
    01:03:34,765 --> 01:03:39,227
    Carpe! Carpe!
    927
    01:03:39,478 --> 01:03:43,555
    No grades at stake gentlemen.
    Just take a stroll.
    928
    01:03:50,656 --> 01:03:55,233
    There it is.
    929
    01:04:01,833 --> 01:04:05,337
    - I don't know but I've been told.
    - I don't know but I've been told.
    930

    01:04:05,420 --> 01:04:08,090


    Doing poetry is cold.
    931
    01:04:08,173 --> 01:04:12,250
    - Doing poetry is cold.
    - Left. Left. Left right left.
    932
    01:04:12,344 --> 01:04:15,628
    Left. Left.
    Left right left.
    933
    01:04:15,722 --> 01:04:17,630
    Left. Halt!
    934
    01:04:17,724 --> 01:04:21,311
    Thank you gentlemen.
    935
    01:04:21,395 --> 01:04:25,399
    If you noticed everyone started off
    with their own stride their own pace.
    936
    01:04:25,482 --> 01:04:29,434
    Mr Pitts taking his time.
    He knew he'll get there one day.
    937
    01:04:29,528 --> 01:04:32,281
    Mr Cameron. You could see him thinking
    "Is this right? It might be right.
    938
    01:04:32,364 --> 01:04:35,200
    It might be right. I know that- Maybe not. I don't know."
    939
    01:04:35,284 --> 01:04:40,622
    Mr Overstreet
    driven by a deeper force. Yes.
    940
    01:04:40,706 --> 01:04:43,709
    We know that. All right. Now I didn't
    bring them up here to ridicule them.
    941
    01:04:43,792 --> 01:04:46,503
    I brought them up here to
    illustrate the point of conformity.
    942
    01:04:46,587 --> 01:04:50,205
    The difficulty in maintaining your
    own beliefs in the face of others.

    943
    01:04:50,299 --> 01:04:54,678
    Now I see the look in your eyes like
    "I would have walked differently."
    944
    01:04:54,761 --> 01:04:57,514
    Well ask yourselves
    why you were clapping.
    945
    01:04:57,598 --> 01:05:00,632
    Now we all have a great need
    for acceptance.
    946
    01:05:00,726 --> 01:05:03,812
    But you must trust that
    your beliefs are unique your own.
    947
    01:05:03,895 --> 01:05:06,304
    Even though others may think
    them odd or unpopular.
    948
    01:05:06,398 --> 01:05:09,026
    Even though the herd may go
    "That's ba- a- a- a- ad."
    949
    01:05:09,109 --> 01:05:11,653
    Robert Frost said
    950
    01:05:11,737 --> 01:05:17,190
    "Two roads diverged in the wood and I
    I took the one less traveled by.
    951
    01:05:17,284 --> 01:05:19,192
    And that has made
    all the difference."
    952
    01:05:19,286 --> 01:05:21,663
    I want you to find
    your own walk right now
    953
    01:05:21,747 --> 01:05:24,614
    your own way of striding
    pacing any direction.
    954
    01:05:24,708 --> 01:05:28,211
    Anything you want whether it's proud
    whether it's silly anything.

    955
    01:05:28,295 --> 01:05:32,841
    Gentlemen the courtyard is yours.
    956
    01:05:32,925 --> 01:05:37,585
    You don't have to perform
    just make it for yourself.
    957
    01:05:37,679 --> 01:05:42,007
    Mr Dalton
    will you be joining us?
    958
    01:05:42,100 --> 01:05:44,342
    Exercising the right
    not to walk.
    959
    01:05:44,436 --> 01:05:48,732
    Thank you Mr Dalton.
    Just illustrated the point.
    960
    01:05:48,815 --> 01:05:52,684
    Swim against the stream.
    961
    01:06:02,245 --> 01:06:04,154
    Todd?
    962
    01:06:06,124 --> 01:06:08,033
    - Hey.
    - Hey.
    963
    01:06:08,126 --> 01:06:11,046
    - What's going on?
    - Nothing.
    964
    01:06:13,298 --> 01:06:16,301
    - Today's my birthday.
    - Is today your birthday?
    965
    01:06:16,385 --> 01:06:18,095
    - Happy birthday.
    - Thanks.
    966
    01:06:18,178 --> 01:06:22,255
    - What did you get?
    - My parents just gave me this.
    967
    01:06:22,349 --> 01:06:23,548
    Isn't this the same desk set- -

    968
    01:06:23,642 --> 01:06:26,561
    Yeah yeah they gave me
    the same thing as last year.
    969
    01:06:29,147 --> 01:06:31,056
    - Oh.
    - Oh.
    970
    01:06:32,734 --> 01:06:34,642
    Maybe they thought you needed
    another one.
    971
    01:06:34,736 --> 01:06:38,188
    Maybe they weren't
    thinking about anything at all.
    972
    01:06:40,742 --> 01:06:45,737
    The funny thing is about this
    is I didn't even like it the first time.
    973
    01:06:48,208 --> 01:06:51,878
    Todd I think you're underestimating
    the value of this desk set.
    974
    01:06:54,006 --> 01:06:59,167
    I mean who would want
    a football or a baseball- 975
    01:06:59,261 --> 01:07:01,252
    - Or a car.
    - Mm- hmm or a car- 976
    01:07:01,346 --> 01:07:03,974
    if they could have a desk set
    as wonderful as this one.
    977
    01:07:04,057 --> 01:07:08,186
    I mean if I were ever going
    to buy a desk set... twice
    978
    01:07:08,270 --> 01:07:11,940
    I would probably
    buy this one... both times.
    979
    01:07:14,067 --> 01:07:18,395
    In fact its... shape is- -

    980
    01:07:18,488 --> 01:07:21,272
    It's rather aerodynamic
    isn't it?
    981
    01:07:21,366 --> 01:07:24,703
    You can feel it.
    982
    01:07:24,786 --> 01:07:29,864
    This desk set wants to fly.
    983
    01:07:32,544 --> 01:07:34,536
    Todd...
    984
    01:07:34,630 --> 01:07:38,790
    the world's first
    unmanned flying desk set.
    985
    01:07:43,847 --> 01:07:48,393
    Oh my!
    Well I wouldn't worry.
    986
    01:07:48,477 --> 01:07:51,813
    You'll get another one next year.
    987
    01:07:51,897 --> 01:07:54,900
    "To live deep and suck out
    all the marrow of life.
    988
    01:07:54,983 --> 01:07:58,820
    - To put to rout all that was not life- - "
    989
    01:07:58,904 --> 01:08:01,396
    My God.
    990
    01:08:01,490 --> 01:08:05,358
    - Is this it?
    - Yeah this is it.
    991
    01:08:05,452 --> 01:08:09,154
    Go ahead. Go on in.
    It's my cave. Watch your step.
    992
    01:08:09,247 --> 01:08:10,655
    Uh- oh.
    993
    01:08:10,749 --> 01:08:13,324

    In keeping with the spirit of passionate
    experimentation of the Dead Poets

    Hello? Hello Chris?

    1006
    01:09:01,717 --> 01:09:05,001
    I crashed in thejungle
    while trying to keep a date
    1007
    01:09:05,095 --> 01:09:08,181
    With my little girl
    who was back in the States
    1008
    01:09:08,265 --> 01:09:10,173

    Look I have to go find Chet.
    1012
    01:09:18,275 --> 01:09:21,028

    That's where everybody is.
    - Yeah but Chris I've- 1013

    01:09:27,451 --> 01:09:31,663
    Baby baby

    You know your old- time lover
    hasn't got a chance

    01:09:37,628 --> 01:09:41,381

    - No relation.
    1020
    01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,148
    - Never heard of him. Sorry guys.

    and we don't even offer him a drink.
    1022
    01:10:00,442 --> 01:10:03,195
    - Here you go. Have some whisky pal.

    "Shall I compare thee
    to a summer's day?
    1038
    01:10:54,621 --> 01:10:57,030
    Thou art more lovely
    and more temperate."
    1039
    01:10:57,124 --> 01:10:58,782
    That's so sweet.
    1040
    01:10:58,875 --> 01:11:03,672
    - I made that up just for you.
    - You did?
    1041

    I'll write one
    for you too Gloria.
    1042
    01:11:09,177 --> 01:11:12,431
    "She walks in beauty
    like the night.
    1043
    01:11:13,932 --> 01:11:16,935

    "She walks in beauty


    like the night...
    1044
    01:11:17,019 --> 01:11:22,180
    "of cloudless climes
    and starry skies.
    1045
    01:11:22,274 --> 01:11:24,182
    "All that's best
    dark and bright
    1046
    01:11:24,276 --> 01:11:28,520
    - meet in her aspect and her eyes."
    - That's beautiful.
    1047
    01:11:29,948 --> 01:11:32,524
    There's plenty more
    where that came from.
    1048

    1076

    - I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.
    - It's okay. It's- It's okay.
    1077
    01:13:43,498 --> 01:13:45,407
    Next time I see you
    you die.
    1078
    01:13:47,878 --> 01:13:51,496
    Go ahead.
    Pass it around.
    1079
    01:13:59,848 --> 01:14:03,383
    Me and Pitts are working
    on a hi- fi system.
    1080
    01:14:03,477 --> 01:14:07,262
    It shouldn't be that hard to
    uh to put together.
    1081
    01:14:07,356 --> 01:14:10,692
    Yeah. Uh I might

    1085
    01:14:17,616 --> 01:14:20,191
    That's part of what this club is about.
    1086
    01:14:20,285 --> 01:14:22,412
    In fact
    I'd like to announce...
    1087
    01:14:22,496 --> 01:14:25,780
    I published an article in the school
    paper in the name of the Dead Poets
    1088
    01:14:25,874 --> 01:14:29,294
    - What?
    - demanding girls
    be admitted to Welton...
    1089
    01:14:29,378 --> 01:14:32,047
    - You didn't.
    - so we can all stop beating off.
    1090
    01:14:32,130 --> 01:14:33,788
    - How did you do that?
    - I'm one of the proofers.
    1091
    01:14:33,882 --> 01:14:36,885
    - I slipped the article in.
    - It's- It's over now.
    1092
    01:14:36,969 --> 01:14:38,543
    Why?
    Nobody knows who we are.
    1093
    01:14:38,637 --> 01:14:40,879
    Well don't you think
    they're gonna figure out who wrote it?

    1094
    01:14:40,973 --> 01:14:44,591
    They're gonna come to you and ask
    to know what the Dead Poets Society is.
    1095
    01:14:44,685 --> 01:14:47,229
    Charlie you had no right
    to do something like that.
    1096
    01:14:47,312 --> 01:14:49,554
    It's Nuwanda Cameron.
    1097
    01:14:49,648 --> 01:14:52,484
    That's right. It's Nuwanda.
    1098
    01:14:52,567 --> 01:14:55,654
    Are we just playing around out here
    or do we mean what we say?
    1099
    01:14:55,737 --> 01:14:58,573
    If all we do is come together
    and read a bunch of poems to each other
    1100
    01:14:58,657 --> 01:15:00,565
    - what the hell are we doing?
    - All right.
    1101
    01:15:00,659 --> 01:15:02,703
    But you still shouldn't
    have done it Charlie.
    1102
    01:15:02,786 --> 01:15:05,247
    This could mean trouble.
    You don't speak for the club.
    1103
    01:15:05,330 --> 01:15:07,906
    Hey would you not worry about
    your precious little neck?
    1104
    01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:11,336
    If they catch me
    I'll tell them I made it up.
    1105
    01:15:25,434 --> 01:15:27,842
    Fine.
    1106
    01:15:37,946 --> 01:15:39,854

    Sit.
    1107
    01:15:45,078 --> 01:15:46,986
    In this week's issue
    of Welton Honor
    1108
    01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,918
    there appeared a profane
    and unauthorized article.
    1109
    01:15:51,001 --> 01:15:56,590
    Rather than spend my valuable time
    ferreting out the guilty persons- 1110
    01:15:56,673 --> 01:15:58,915
    and let me assure you
    I will find them- 1111
    01:15:59,009 --> 01:16:02,460
    I'm asking any and all students
    who know anything about this article...
    1112
    01:16:02,554 --> 01:16:06,391
    to make themselves known
    here and now.
    1113
    01:16:08,226 --> 01:16:10,687
    Whoever the guilty persons are
    1114
    01:16:10,771 --> 01:16:14,931
    this is your only chance to avoid
    expulsion from this school.
    1115
    01:16:20,072 --> 01:16:22,115
    Welton Academy.
    Hello.
    1116
    01:16:22,199 --> 01:16:24,743
    Yes he is.
    just a moment.
    1117
    01:16:24,826 --> 01:16:27,861
    Mr Nolan it's for you.
    1118
    01:16:27,955 --> 01:16:29,915
    It's God!
    1119

    01:16:29,998 --> 01:16:31,959


    He says we should have girls
    at Welton.
    1120
    01:16:47,766 --> 01:16:49,893
    Wipe that smirk off your face.
    1121
    01:16:49,977 --> 01:16:52,980
    If you think Mr Dalton
    1122
    01:16:53,063 --> 01:16:56,014
    that you're the first to try to get
    thrown out of this school think again.
    1123
    01:16:56,108 --> 01:17:00,185
    Others have had similar notions and have
    failed just as surely as you will fail.
    1124
    01:17:00,279 --> 01:17:03,646
    Assume the position.
    1125
    01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,369
    Count aloud Mr Dalton.
    1126
    01:17:20,799 --> 01:17:22,791
    One.
    1127
    01:17:24,970 --> 01:17:27,045
    Two.
    1128
    01:17:31,143 --> 01:17:33,770
    Three.
    1129
    01:17:33,854 --> 01:17:37,441
    Four.
    1130
    01:17:37,524 --> 01:17:39,901
    Five.
    1131
    01:17:39,985 --> 01:17:42,696
    What is this Dead Poets Society?
    I want names.
    1132
    01:18:11,934 --> 01:18:14,175
    - You kicked out?
    - No.

    1133
    01:18:14,269 --> 01:18:17,022
    So what happened?
    1134
    01:18:19,107 --> 01:18:22,694
    I'm to turn everybody in
    apologise to the school
    1135
    01:18:22,778 --> 01:18:24,853
    and all will be forgiven.
    1136
    01:18:24,947 --> 01:18:27,157
    So what are you gonna do?
    1137
    01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,525
    - Charlie- - Damn it Neil
    1138
    01:18:30,619 --> 01:18:33,570
    the name is Nuwanda.
    1139
    01:18:39,127 --> 01:18:42,547
    Excuse me.
    May we have a word Mr Keating?
    1140
    01:18:42,631 --> 01:18:44,622
    Certainly.
    1141
    01:18:50,055 --> 01:18:54,132
    This was my first classroomJohn.
    Did you know that?
    1142
    01:18:54,226 --> 01:18:56,468
    My first desk.
    1143
    01:18:56,561 --> 01:18:58,970
    I didn't know you taught
    Mr Nolan.
    1144
    01:18:59,064 --> 01:19:03,475
    English.
    Long before your time.
    1145
    01:19:03,568 --> 01:19:06,989
    It was hard giving it up
    I can tell you.
    1146

    01:19:10,242 --> 01:19:15,320


    I'm hearing rumours
    about some unorthodox
    teaching methods in your classroom.
    1147
    01:19:15,414 --> 01:19:19,657
    I'm not saying they've had anything
    to do with the Dalton boy's outburst
    1148
    01:19:19,751 --> 01:19:24,496
    but I don't think I have to warn you
    boys his age are very impressionable.
    1149
    01:19:24,590 --> 01:19:27,843
    Well your reprimand made
    quite an impression I'm sure.
    1150
    01:19:30,596 --> 01:19:34,673
    - What was going on
    in the courtyard the other day?
    - Courtyard?
    1151
    01:19:34,766 --> 01:19:37,853
    - Boys marching clapping in unison.
    - Oh that.
    1152
    01:19:37,936 --> 01:19:41,054
    That was an exercise to prove a point:
    dangers of conformity.
    1153
    01:19:41,148 --> 01:19:43,984
    WellJohn the curriculum here is set.
    It's proven. It works.
    1154
    01:19:44,067 --> 01:19:46,643
    If you question it what's to
    prevent them from doing the same?
    1155
    01:19:46,737 --> 01:19:49,145
    I always thought the idea of education
    was to learn to think for yourself.
    1156
    01:19:49,239 --> 01:19:51,867
    At these boys' age?
    Not on your life!
    1157
    01:19:51,950 --> 01:19:55,996
    TraditionJohn. Discipline.

    1158
    01:19:56,079 --> 01:20:00,490
    Prepare them for college
    and the rest will take care of itself.
    1159
    01:20:04,504 --> 01:20:07,841
    Creak.
    1160
    01:20:07,925 --> 01:20:10,844
    He starts walking around
    towards my left.
    1161
    01:20:10,928 --> 01:20:14,264
    Creak. Creak.
    1162
    01:20:14,348 --> 01:20:17,966
    'Assume the position Mr Dalton "
    which means- 1163
    01:20:18,060 --> 01:20:20,187
    All right gentlemen.
    1164
    01:20:20,270 --> 01:20:23,357
    - Mr Keating.
    - Mr Dalton.
    1165
    01:20:23,440 --> 01:20:25,682
    That was a pretty lame stunt
    you pulled today.
    1166
    01:20:25,776 --> 01:20:27,684
    You're siding with Mr Nolan?
    1167
    01:20:27,778 --> 01:20:29,686
    What about carpe diem
    and sucking all the marrow...
    1168
    01:20:29,780 --> 01:20:31,521
    - out of life and all that?
    - Sucking the marrow out of life...
    1169
    01:20:31,615 --> 01:20:34,618
    doesn't mean
    choking on the bone.
    1170
    01:20:34,701 --> 01:20:39,029
    There is a time for daring
    and there is a time for caution.

    1171
    01:20:39,122 --> 01:20:41,531
    And a wise man understands
    which is called for.
    1172
    01:20:41,625 --> 01:20:43,835
    But I thought you'd like that.
    1173
    01:20:43,919 --> 01:20:45,827
    No.
    1174
    01:20:45,921 --> 01:20:48,872
    You being expelled from school
    is not daring to me. It's stupid.
    1175
    01:20:48,966 --> 01:20:51,426
    'Cause you'll miss some
    golden opportunities.
    1176
    01:20:51,510 --> 01:20:52,970
    Yeah? Like what?
    1177
    01:20:53,053 --> 01:20:57,099
    Like if nothing else
    the opportunity to attend my classes.
    1178
    01:20:59,017 --> 01:21:01,395
    Got it ace?
    1179
    01:21:01,478 --> 01:21:04,231
    Aye aye Captain.
    1180
    01:21:04,314 --> 01:21:06,775
    Keep your head about you.
    1181
    01:21:06,858 --> 01:21:09,642
    That goes
    for the lot of you.
    1182
    01:21:09,736 --> 01:21:12,656
    - Yes Captain.
    - Yes Captain.
    1183
    01:21:12,739 --> 01:21:14,731
    Phone call from God.
    1184

    01:21:16,702 --> 01:21:20,070


    If it'd been collect
    it would have been daring.
    1185
    01:21:22,249 --> 01:21:25,617
    - All right. Go on boy.
    - No.
    1186
    01:21:35,512 --> 01:21:38,181
    - We're trying to rehearse okay? Go.
    1187
    01:21:38,265 --> 01:21:40,340
    A good persuasion
    therefore hear me Hermia.
    1188
    01:21:40,434 --> 01:21:44,302
    Wait wait. The excitement. I don't
    hear any excitement about this play.
    1189
    01:21:44,396 --> 01:21:48,807
    Now take her hand
    bring her downstage...
    1190
    01:21:48,900 --> 01:21:50,892
    and stop
    and "Fair gentle Hermia."
    1191
    01:21:50,986 --> 01:21:53,113
    Okay? Try again.
    1192
    01:21:53,196 --> 01:21:55,105
    What's for dinner?
    1193
    01:21:55,198 --> 01:21:56,940
    - Spaghetti and meatballs!
    - Food!
    1194
    01:21:59,578 --> 01:22:01,653
    Save some for me.
    1195
    01:22:03,415 --> 01:22:06,752
    "But room fairy!
    Here comes Oberon."
    1196
    01:22:09,254 --> 01:22:13,008
    - Father.
    - Neil.

    1197
    01:22:13,091 --> 01:22:15,250
    Wait a minute.
    Before you say anything
    1198
    01:22:15,344 --> 01:22:18,513
    - please let me ex- - Don't you dare talk back to me.
    1199
    01:22:20,182 --> 01:22:23,352
    It's bad enough that
    you've wasted your time...
    1200
    01:22:23,435 --> 01:22:26,886
    with this this
    absurd acting business
    1201
    01:22:26,980 --> 01:22:30,181
    but you deliberately
    deceived me.
    1202
    01:22:30,275 --> 01:22:33,810
    How- How- How did you expect
    to get away with this?
    1203
    01:22:35,948 --> 01:22:38,023
    Answer me.
    1204
    01:22:38,116 --> 01:22:40,160
    Who put you up to it?
    1205
    01:22:40,243 --> 01:22:43,497
    - Was it this new man? Keating?
    - No.
    1206
    01:22:43,580 --> 01:22:47,584
    Nobody p- - I thought I'd surprise you.
    I've gotten all A's in every class.
    1207
    01:22:47,668 --> 01:22:50,921
    Did you really think
    I wasn't going to find out?
    1208
    01:22:51,004 --> 01:22:54,956
    "Oh my niece is in a play
    with your son" says Mrs Marks.
    1209
    01:22:55,050 --> 01:22:58,887

    "No no no" I say. "You must be


    mistaken. My son's not in a play."
    1210
    01:22:58,971 --> 01:23:00,879
    You made a liar
    out of me Neil!
    1211
    01:23:04,977 --> 01:23:09,439
    Now tomorrow you go to them
    and you tell them that you're quitting.
    1212
    01:23:09,523 --> 01:23:11,431
    No I can't.
    1213
    01:23:11,525 --> 01:23:13,652
    I have the main part.
    The performance is tomorrow night!
    1214
    01:23:13,735 --> 01:23:15,727
    I don't care if the world
    comes to an end tomorrow night
    1215
    01:23:15,821 --> 01:23:18,991
    you are through with that play!
    1216
    01:23:19,074 --> 01:23:20,982
    Is that clear?
    1217
    01:23:21,076 --> 01:23:23,620
    Is that clear?
    1218
    01:23:24,496 --> 01:23:27,249
    Yes sir.
    1219
    01:23:34,464 --> 01:23:38,135
    I made a great many sacrifices
    to get you here Neil
    1220
    01:23:38,218 --> 01:23:42,431
    and you will not let me down.
    1221
    01:23:42,514 --> 01:23:44,923
    No sir.
    1222
    01:24:05,037 --> 01:24:07,706
    It's open.

    1223
    01:24:18,717 --> 01:24:20,625
    Neil what's up?
    1224
    01:24:20,719 --> 01:24:23,388
    - Can I speak to you a minute?
    - Certainly. Sit down.
    1225
    01:24:24,222 --> 01:24:26,464
    Oh.
    1226
    01:24:26,558 --> 01:24:29,050
    - I'm sorry. Here.
    - Excuse me.
    1227
    01:24:31,271 --> 01:24:35,817
    - Get you some tea?
    - Tea? Sure.
    1228
    01:24:35,901 --> 01:24:39,237
    - Want some milk or sugar in that?
    - No thanks.
    1229
    01:24:39,321 --> 01:24:41,479
    Gosh they don't give you
    much room around here.
    1230
    01:24:41,573 --> 01:24:43,398
    It's part of the monastic oath.
    1231
    01:24:43,492 --> 01:24:46,995
    They don't want worldly things
    distracting me from my teaching.
    1232
    01:24:49,915 --> 01:24:51,823
    - She's pretty.
    - She's also in London.
    1233
    01:24:51,917 --> 01:24:55,003
    Makes it a little difficult.
    1234
    01:24:55,087 --> 01:24:58,090
    - How do you stand it?
    - Stand what?
    1235
    01:24:58,173 --> 01:25:00,498
    You can go anywhere. You can do
    anything. How can you stand being here?

    1236
    01:25:00,592 --> 01:25:04,513
    Because I love teaching.
    I don't want to be anywhere else.
    1237
    01:25:08,058 --> 01:25:12,062
    - What's up?
    - I just talked to my father.
    1238
    01:25:12,145 --> 01:25:14,773
    He's making me quit the play
    at Henley Hall.
    1239
    01:25:16,650 --> 01:25:19,820
    But acting is everything to me.
    1240
    01:25:19,903 --> 01:25:23,021
    I mean- But he doesn't know. He- 1241
    01:25:23,115 --> 01:25:28,109
    I can see his point. We're not
    a rich family like Charlie's. I mean- 1242
    01:25:28,203 --> 01:25:31,290
    But he's planning the rest
    of my life for me.
    1243
    01:25:31,373 --> 01:25:33,782
    And he- he's never asked me
    what I want.
    1244
    01:25:33,875 --> 01:25:36,743
    Have you ever told your father
    what you just told me?
    1245
    01:25:36,837 --> 01:25:39,548
    About your passion for acting?
    Have you showed him that?
    1246
    01:25:39,631 --> 01:25:42,718
    - I can't.
    - Why not?
    1247
    01:25:42,801 --> 01:25:44,709
    I can't talk to him this way.
    1248

    01:25:44,803 --> 01:25:47,472


    Then you're acting for him too.
    1249
    01:25:47,556 --> 01:25:50,757
    You're playing the part
    of the dutiful son.
    1250
    01:25:50,851 --> 01:25:52,759
    I know this sounds impossible
    but you have to talk to him.
    1251
    01:25:52,853 --> 01:25:55,564
    You have to show him
    who you are what your heart is.
    1252
    01:25:55,647 --> 01:25:58,139
    I know what he'll say.
    1253
    01:25:58,233 --> 01:26:00,725
    He'll tell me that acting's a whim
    and I should forget it.
    1254
    01:26:00,819 --> 01:26:03,311
    They're counting on me.
    1255
    01:26:03,405 --> 01:26:06,742
    He'll just tell me to put it
    out of my mind for my own good.
    1256
    01:26:06,825 --> 01:26:08,650
    You are not
    an indentured servant.
    1257
    01:26:08,744 --> 01:26:13,457
    It's not a whim for you. You prove it to
    him by your conviction and your passion.
    1258
    01:26:13,540 --> 01:26:15,949
    You show him that
    and if he still doesn't believe you- 1259
    01:26:16,043 --> 01:26:19,077
    Well by then you'll be out of school
    and you can do anything you want.
    1260
    01:26:21,298 --> 01:26:25,375
    No.

    1261
    01:26:25,469 --> 01:26:27,627
    What about the play?
    The show's tomorrow night.
    1262
    01:26:27,721 --> 01:26:30,839
    Then you have to talk
    to him before tomorrow night.
    1263
    01:26:33,352 --> 01:26:35,312
    I- 1264
    01:26:35,395 --> 01:26:37,606
    - Isn't there an easier way?
    - No.
    1265
    01:26:41,735 --> 01:26:45,572
    I'm trapped.
    1266
    01:26:45,656 --> 01:26:48,148
    No you're not.
    1267
    01:27:11,223 --> 01:27:13,131
    Chris!
    1268
    01:27:14,893 --> 01:27:17,562
    Chris! Chris Noel.
    Do you know where she is?
    1269
    01:27:17,646 --> 01:27:20,190
    - Um I think she's in Room 111.
    - Thanks.
    1270
    01:27:23,527 --> 01:27:25,435
    I know.
    1271
    01:27:31,410 --> 01:27:33,370
    Excuse me. Chris- 1272
    01:27:33,453 --> 01:27:35,330
    Knox what are you doing here?
    1273
    01:27:35,414 --> 01:27:37,322
    I came to apologize for the other night.
    1274
    01:27:37,416 --> 01:27:39,459
    I brought you these

    and a poem I wrote for you.


    1275
    01:27:43,088 --> 01:27:45,716
    Knox don't you know that
    if Chet finds you here he'll kill you?
    1276
    01:27:45,799 --> 01:27:49,668
    - I don't care. I love you Chris.
    - Knox you're crazy.
    1277
    01:27:49,761 --> 01:27:52,389
    Look I acted like a jerk
    and I know it.
    1278
    01:27:52,472 --> 01:27:56,174
    - Please accept these. Please.
    - No. No I- I can't.
    1279
    01:27:56,268 --> 01:27:58,395
    Just forget it.
    1280
    01:28:13,827 --> 01:28:16,913
    - Knox I don't believe this.
    - All I'm asking you to do is listen.
    1281
    01:28:18,582 --> 01:28:22,961
    "The heavens made a girl named Chris...
    1282
    01:28:23,045 --> 01:28:24,953
    "with hair and skin of gold.
    1283
    01:28:25,047 --> 01:28:27,007
    "To touch her...
    1284
    01:28:27,090 --> 01:28:30,344
    would be paradise. "
    1285
    01:28:47,277 --> 01:28:49,738
    Get out of here. Cameron you fool.
    1286
    01:28:49,821 --> 01:28:52,908
    Hey how'd it go?
    Did you read it to her?
    1287
    01:28:52,991 --> 01:28:57,235
    - Yeah.
    - Wow. What'd she say?

    1288
    01:28:57,329 --> 01:29:00,415
    - Nothing.
    - What do you mean nothing?
    1289
    01:29:00,499 --> 01:29:03,867
    Nothing.
    But I did it.
    1290
    01:29:03,961 --> 01:29:07,631
    Well what did she say?
    She had to say something!
    1291
    01:29:07,714 --> 01:29:10,801
    - Hey Knox!
    - Seize the day!
    1292
    01:29:20,060 --> 01:29:23,094
    - Did you talk to your father?
    - Uh yeah.
    1293
    01:29:23,188 --> 01:29:26,806
    He didn't like it one bit but at least
    he's letting me stay in the play.
    1294
    01:29:26,900 --> 01:29:31,144
    He won't be able to m- make it.
    He's in Chicago.
    1295
    01:29:31,238 --> 01:29:34,241
    But uh I think he's gonna
    let me stay with acting.
    1296
    01:29:34,324 --> 01:29:38,568
    Really? You told him
    what you told me?
    1297
    01:29:38,662 --> 01:29:41,415
    Yeah.
    1298
    01:29:41,498 --> 01:29:43,458
    He wasn't happy.
    1299
    01:29:43,542 --> 01:29:47,754
    But he'll be gone
    at least four days.
    1300

    01:29:47,838 --> 01:29:52,301


    I don't think he'll make
    the show but...
    1301
    01:29:52,384 --> 01:29:54,542
    I think he'll let me
    stay with it.
    1302
    01:29:54,636 --> 01:29:56,544
    "Keep up the schoolwork."
    1303
    01:29:59,850 --> 01:30:04,980
    Thanks.
    1304
    01:30:06,148 --> 01:30:09,151
    - Oh baby.
    - Beautiful baby.
    1305
    01:30:09,234 --> 01:30:11,142
    - I am- - Excuse me.
    1306
    01:30:11,236 --> 01:30:14,823
    - Just a moment. Yes. You're so good.
    1307
    01:30:14,906 --> 01:30:16,815
    Come on Todd.
    I'm trying to fix this.
    1308
    01:30:16,908 --> 01:30:19,202
    Come on Nuwanda
    we're going to miss Neil's entrance.
    1309
    01:30:19,286 --> 01:30:21,997
    He said something about
    getting red before we left.
    1310
    01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,281
    - "Getting red"? What does that mean?
    - I- - You know Charlie.
    1311
    01:30:28,754 --> 01:30:31,840
    So Charlie
    what's this 'getting red"bit?
    1312
    01:30:33,592 --> 01:30:36,084
    - Ooh.
    - Ooh.

    1313
    01:30:36,178 --> 01:30:38,336
    W- What is that?
    1314
    01:30:38,430 --> 01:30:42,048
    It's an Indian warrior
    symbol for virility.
    1315
    01:30:42,142 --> 01:30:45,760
    Makes me feel potent
    like I can drive girls crazy.
    1316
    01:30:45,854 --> 01:30:48,263
    Oh come on Charlie.
    The girls are waiting.
    1317
    01:30:50,776 --> 01:30:52,767
    Whoa.
    1318
    01:30:56,949 --> 01:31:00,118
    Chris.
    1319
    01:31:01,703 --> 01:31:03,111
    What are you doing here?
    1320
    01:31:03,205 --> 01:31:06,541
    - Gentlemen let's go!
    - Go ahead guys. I'll catch up.
    1321
    01:31:06,625 --> 01:31:09,086
    Yeah. Come on guys.
    1322
    01:31:09,169 --> 01:31:11,077
    Chris you can't be in here.
    1323
    01:31:11,171 --> 01:31:13,163
    - If they catch you we're both
    gonna be in big trouble.
    - Come on.
    1324
    01:31:13,257 --> 01:31:15,749
    - Oh but it's fine if- - Shh shh. Chris.
    1325
    01:31:17,970 --> 01:31:21,755
    It's fine for you to come barging into
    my school and make a fool out of me?

    1326
    01:31:21,848 --> 01:31:23,757
    I didn't mean
    to make a fool out of you.
    1327
    01:31:23,850 --> 01:31:26,228
    Well you did.
    Chet found out.
    1328
    01:31:26,311 --> 01:31:30,472
    It took everything I could do to keep
    him from coming here and killing you.
    1329
    01:31:30,565 --> 01:31:35,143
    - Knox you have got to stop this stuff.
    - I can't Chris. I love you.
    1330
    01:31:35,237 --> 01:31:38,407
    Knox you say that over and over.
    1331
    01:31:38,490 --> 01:31:40,398
    You don't- You don't even know me.
    1332
    01:31:40,492 --> 01:31:42,703
    Will you bejoining us Mr Overstreet?
    1333
    01:31:42,786 --> 01:31:44,611
    Go ahead Captain. I'll walk.
    1334
    01:31:44,705 --> 01:31:47,958
    Knox. Knox
    i- it just so happens...
    1335
    01:31:48,041 --> 01:31:51,576
    that I could care less
    about you.
    1336
    01:31:54,548 --> 01:31:57,332
    Then you wouldn't be here
    warning me about Chet.
    1337
    01:32:01,847 --> 01:32:04,600
    I have to go.
    I'm gonna be late for the play.
    1338
    01:32:04,683 --> 01:32:07,717

    - Are you going with him?


    - Chet? To a play?
    1339
    01:32:07,811 --> 01:32:09,719
    - Are you kidding?
    - Then come with me.
    1340
    01:32:09,813 --> 01:32:11,773
    Knox you are so infuriating!
    1341
    01:32:11,857 --> 01:32:14,265
    Come on Chris
    just give me one chance.
    1342
    01:32:14,359 --> 01:32:17,112
    If you don't like me after tonight
    I'll stay away forever.
    1343
    01:32:17,195 --> 01:32:20,313
    - Uh- huh.
    - I promise. Dead Poets honour.
    1344
    01:32:20,407 --> 01:32:21,950
    You come with me tonight
    1345
    01:32:22,034 --> 01:32:24,494
    and then if you don't want to see me
    again I swear I'll bow out.
    1346
    01:32:24,578 --> 01:32:29,041
    - What would happen if Chet found out?
    - He won't know anything.
    1347
    01:32:29,124 --> 01:32:32,242
    We'll sit in the back
    and sneak away as soon as it's over.
    1348
    01:32:32,336 --> 01:32:35,954
    And I suppose you would promise
    that this would be the end of it?
    1349
    01:32:36,048 --> 01:32:39,134
    - Dead Poets honour.
    - What is that?
    1350
    01:32:41,511 --> 01:32:44,765
    - My word.
    - Hmm.

    1351
    01:32:55,233 --> 01:32:58,236
    You are so infuriating.
    1352
    01:33:19,800 --> 01:33:22,010
    Hey there he is!
    Hey hey hey hey!
    1353
    01:33:22,094 --> 01:33:25,097
    Shh boys.
    1354
    01:33:31,687 --> 01:33:36,014
    Either I mistake your shape
    and making quite...
    1355
    01:33:36,108 --> 01:33:41,446
    or else you are that shrewd and
    knavish sprite called Robin Goodfellow!
    1356
    01:33:41,530 --> 01:33:43,438
    Thou speak'st aright.
    1357
    01:33:43,532 --> 01:33:45,690
    I am that merry wanderer
    of the night.
    1358
    01:33:45,784 --> 01:33:48,620
    I jest to Oberon
    and make him smile...
    1359
    01:33:48,704 --> 01:33:52,405
    when I a fat and bean- fed
    horse beguile.
    1360
    01:33:52,499 --> 01:33:55,586
    Neighing in the likeness
    of a filly foal.
    1361
    01:33:55,669 --> 01:33:58,338
    Sometime lurk I
    in a gossip's bowl...
    1362
    01:33:58,422 --> 01:34:01,049
    in very likeness
    of a roasted crab.
    1363
    01:34:01,133 --> 01:34:04,136

    And when she drink


    against her lips I bob...
    1364
    01:34:04,219 --> 01:34:06,795
    and on her withered dewlap
    pour the ale.
    1365
    01:34:06,888 --> 01:34:08,963
    - The wisest aunt
    telling the saddest tale.
    - He's good. He's really good.
    1366
    01:34:09,057 --> 01:34:12,728
    Sometime for three- foot stool
    mistaketh me.
    1367
    01:34:12,811 --> 01:34:16,481
    Then slip I from her bum
    down topples she and "Tailor" cries...
    1368
    01:34:16,565 --> 01:34:18,473
    and falls into a cough.
    1369
    01:34:18,567 --> 01:34:21,403
    And then the whole quire
    hold their hips and laugh...
    1370
    01:34:21,486 --> 01:34:23,728
    and waxen in their mirth
    nee- e- e- eze...
    1371
    01:34:23,822 --> 01:34:25,866
    and swear.
    1372
    01:34:25,949 --> 01:34:29,067
    A merrier hour
    was never wasted there.
    1373
    01:34:29,161 --> 01:34:31,403
    But room fairy.
    1374
    01:34:31,496 --> 01:34:35,740
    - Here comes Oberon.
    - And here my mistress.
    Would that he were gone.
    1375
    01:34:40,422 --> 01:34:42,747
    Then by your side

    no bed- room me deny.


    1376
    01:34:42,841 --> 01:34:45,844
    For lying so Hermia
    I do not lie.
    1377
    01:34:45,928 --> 01:34:49,973
    Lysander riddles very
    prettily. Much beshrew my manners...
    1378
    01:34:50,057 --> 01:34:53,174
    and my pride if Hermia
    meant to say Lysander lied.
    1379
    01:34:53,268 --> 01:34:56,302
    But gentle friend
    for love and courtesy...
    1380
    01:34:56,396 --> 01:34:59,514
    lie further off
    in human modesty
    1381
    01:34:59,608 --> 01:35:02,976
    such separation as may well be said
    becomes a virtuous bachelor and maid.
    1382
    01:35:03,070 --> 01:35:07,147
    Good night sweet friend. Thy love
    ne'er alter 'til thy sweet life end.
    1383
    01:35:07,240 --> 01:35:11,026
    Amen.
    Amen to that fair prayer say I.
    1384
    01:35:11,119 --> 01:35:13,611
    - And then end life when I end loyalty.
    - Neil. That's your cue Neil.
    1385
    01:35:13,705 --> 01:35:16,875
    Come on Neil.
    Here's your crown. Let's go.
    1386
    01:36:22,816 --> 01:36:25,308
    If we shadows have offended...
    1387
    01:36:26,987 --> 01:36:29,531
    think but this
    and all is mended.

    1388
    01:36:29,615 --> 01:36:33,316
    That you have but slumber'd here
    while these visions did appear.
    1389
    01:36:33,410 --> 01:36:37,706
    And this weak and idle theme
    no more yielding but a dream.
    1390
    01:36:38,915 --> 01:36:41,627
    Gentles do not reprehend.
    1391
    01:36:41,710 --> 01:36:44,880
    If you pardon we will mend.
    1392
    01:36:44,963 --> 01:36:48,581
    And as I am an honest Puck
    if we have unearned luck
    1393
    01:36:48,675 --> 01:36:51,053
    now to 'scape
    the serpent's tongue
    1394
    01:36:51,136 --> 01:36:55,630
    we will make amends ere long;
    else the Puck a liar call.
    1395
    01:36:59,092 --> 01:37:00,552
    So good night
    unto you all.
    1396
    01:37:00,635 --> 01:37:03,805
    Give me your hands
    if we be friends
    1397
    01:37:03,888 --> 01:37:07,799
    and Robin shall
    restore amends.
    1398
    01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,334
    Yawp! Carpe diem!
    1399
    01:38:04,449 --> 01:38:06,774
    That was great!
    1400
    01:38:06,868 --> 01:38:10,445
    Excuse me. I'm Neil's father.

    I'd like to see him please.


    1401
    01:38:14,501 --> 01:38:18,744
    Neil your father.
    1402
    01:38:18,838 --> 01:38:24,709
    - What did you think?
    - You were all just wonderful!
    1403
    01:38:37,649 --> 01:38:39,557
    Excuse me please.
    1404
    01:38:39,651 --> 01:38:43,478
    - Excuse me. Excuse me.
    - Neil! Back here! Neil!
    1405
    01:38:43,571 --> 01:38:46,606
    Neil Neil you were great!
    Come back Neil.
    1406
    01:38:46,700 --> 01:38:48,608
    - I can't guys.
    - Neil.
    1407
    01:38:48,702 --> 01:38:50,610
    Excuse me.
    1408
    01:38:51,788 --> 01:38:55,041
    Neil. Neil.
    You have the gift.
    1409
    01:38:55,125 --> 01:38:57,492
    What a performance.
    You left even me speechless.
    1410
    01:38:57,585 --> 01:38:59,869
    - You have to stay with- - Get in the car.
    1411
    01:38:59,963 --> 01:39:03,581
    Keating
    you stay away from my son.
    1412
    01:39:03,675 --> 01:39:07,668
    Neil! Neil!
    Mr Perry come on!
    1413

    01:39:07,762 --> 01:39:10,515


    Don't make it
    any worse than it is.
    1414
    01:39:10,598 --> 01:39:14,383
    Do you want to take the other car?
    1415
    01:39:23,028 --> 01:39:25,353
    Is it okay
    if we walk back?
    1416
    01:39:25,447 --> 01:39:28,366
    Captain?
    1417
    01:39:31,119 --> 01:39:33,528
    - Knox?
    - What?
    1418
    01:39:33,621 --> 01:39:36,197
    We'll be home about 11:30.
    1419
    01:40:13,912 --> 01:40:16,612
    We're trying very hard...
    1420
    01:40:16,706 --> 01:40:21,200
    to understand why it is
    that you insist on defying us.
    1421
    01:40:21,294 --> 01:40:26,747
    But whatever the reason
    we're not gonna let you ruin your life.
    1422
    01:40:26,841 --> 01:40:30,543
    I'm withdrawing you from Welton and
    enrolling you in Braden Military School.
    1423
    01:40:30,637 --> 01:40:33,755
    You're going to Harvard
    and you're gonna be a doctor.
    1424
    01:40:36,851 --> 01:40:38,760
    But that's ten more years.
    1425
    01:40:38,853 --> 01:40:40,887
    - Father that's a lifetime!
    - Oh stop it!
    1426

    01:40:40,980 --> 01:40:45,141


    Don't be so dramatic.
    You make it sound like a prison term.
    1427
    01:40:46,361 --> 01:40:48,269
    You don't understand Neil.
    1428
    01:40:48,363 --> 01:40:51,282
    You have opportunities
    that I never even dreamt of!
    1429
    01:40:51,366 --> 01:40:54,369
    - I am not going to let you waste them!
    - I've got to tell you what I feel.
    1430
    01:40:54,452 --> 01:40:57,539
    - We've been so worried about- - What? What? Tell me what you feel!
    1431
    01:40:59,791 --> 01:41:01,699
    What is it?
    1432
    01:41:10,510 --> 01:41:14,462
    Is it more of this- this
    acting business?
    1433
    01:41:14,556 --> 01:41:18,049
    Because you can forget that.
    1434
    01:41:18,143 --> 01:41:20,635
    What?
    1435
    01:41:25,358 --> 01:41:27,975
    Nothing.
    1436
    01:41:39,330 --> 01:41:43,157
    Nothing?
    1437
    01:41:45,545 --> 01:41:47,995
    Well then
    let's go to bed.
    1438
    01:42:01,478 --> 01:42:07,067
    I was good.
    I was really good.
    1439
    01:42:11,446 --> 01:42:13,855

    Go on get some sleep.


    1440
    01:42:45,397 --> 01:42:50,026
    It's going to be all right.
    1441
    01:46:02,260 --> 01:46:05,461
    What was that?
    1442
    01:46:05,555 --> 01:46:08,423
    What?
    1443
    01:46:08,516 --> 01:46:12,468
    - That sound.
    - What sound?
    1444
    01:46:18,985 --> 01:46:20,893
    Tom?
    1445
    01:46:24,532 --> 01:46:26,441
    What is it?
    1446
    01:46:27,952 --> 01:46:29,861
    What's wrong?
    1447
    01:46:39,756 --> 01:46:42,081
    Neil?
    1448
    01:46:47,681 --> 01:46:50,965
    Tom what is it?
    1449
    01:46:51,059 --> 01:46:53,468
    What's wrong?
    1450
    01:46:55,647 --> 01:46:57,722
    Neil?
    1451
    01:47:02,821 --> 01:47:06,814
    - Neil?
    - I'll look outside.
    1452
    01:47:06,908 --> 01:47:08,816
    Neil?
    1453
    01:47:26,594 --> 01:47:31,089
    No!

    1454
    01:47:31,182 --> 01:47:35,510
    - Oh Neil! Oh my God!
    - Oh my God. Oh no no.
    1455
    01:47:35,603 --> 01:47:38,356
    - Oh my son! My son! My poor son!
    - He's all right.
    1456
    01:47:38,440 --> 01:47:42,986
    He's all right!
    - Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.
    1457
    01:47:43,069 --> 01:47:48,825
    Stop it! Stop it.
    1458
    01:47:53,288 --> 01:47:57,073
    Todd. Todd.
    1459
    01:47:57,167 --> 01:48:00,034
    Oh Charlie.
    1460
    01:48:06,051 --> 01:48:09,544
    What is it?
    1461
    01:48:16,770 --> 01:48:19,345
    Neil's dead.
    1462
    01:48:57,164 --> 01:48:59,156
    It's so beautiful.
    1463
    01:49:10,261 --> 01:49:12,836
    Todd!
    1464
    01:49:12,930 --> 01:49:14,473
    - It's okay Todd.
    - Calm down.
    1465
    01:49:14,557 --> 01:49:16,465
    It's all right Todd.
    1466
    01:49:16,559 --> 01:49:18,467
    - Todd it's okay.
    - It's okay Todd.
    1467
    01:49:18,561 --> 01:49:22,262
    It's all right. It's all right.

    1468
    01:49:22,356 --> 01:49:24,149
    - He wouldn't have done it.
    - You can't explain it Todd.
    1469
    01:49:24,233 --> 01:49:25,390
    - It was his father!
    - No!
    1470
    01:49:25,484 --> 01:49:28,268
    He wouldn't have left us.
    It's because he- 1471
    01:49:28,362 --> 01:49:29,905
    He wouldn't have.
    1472
    01:49:29,989 --> 01:49:31,313
    - His dad was- - Todd.
    1473
    01:49:31,407 --> 01:49:33,482
    His- His father did it.
    His father killed him.
    1474
    01:49:33,576 --> 01:49:35,484
    He made him do it.
    1475
    01:49:36,620 --> 01:49:38,612
    Todd!
    1476
    01:49:38,706 --> 01:49:41,073
    Leave him be.
    1477
    01:51:40,202 --> 01:51:42,486
    ...All my life
    1478
    01:51:42,580 --> 01:51:45,155
    Shall surely
    1479
    01:51:45,249 --> 01:51:50,494
    Follow me
    1480
    01:51:50,588 --> 01:51:54,998
    And in God's house
    1481
    01:51:55,092 --> 01:51:59,169

    Forevermore
    1482
    01:51:59,263 --> 01:52:03,674
    My dwelling place
    1483
    01:52:03,767 --> 01:52:08,011
    Shall be
    1484
    01:52:08,105 --> 01:52:13,861
    Amen
    1485
    01:52:20,075 --> 01:52:22,828
    The death of Neil Perry is a tragedy.
    1486
    01:52:26,415 --> 01:52:30,002
    He was a fine student
    1487
    01:52:30,085 --> 01:52:33,996
    one of Welton's best.
    1488
    01:52:34,089 --> 01:52:36,842
    And he will be missed.
    1489
    01:52:40,596 --> 01:52:45,340
    We've contacted each of your parents
    to explain the situation.
    1490
    01:52:45,434 --> 01:52:48,854
    Naturally they're all
    quite concerned.
    1491
    01:52:53,943 --> 01:52:57,196
    At the request
    of Neil's family
    1492
    01:52:57,279 --> 01:53:02,868
    I intend to conduct a thorough
    inquiry into this matter.
    1493
    01:53:04,286 --> 01:53:08,447
    Your complete cooperation
    is expected.
    1494
    01:53:17,633 --> 01:53:20,803
    - You told him about this meeting?
    - Twice.

    1495
    01:53:20,886 --> 01:53:23,128
    That's it guys.
    We're all fried.
    1496
    01:53:23,222 --> 01:53:26,141
    - How do you mean?
    - Cameron's a fink.
    1497
    01:53:26,225 --> 01:53:29,509
    - He's in Nolan's office now finking.
    - About what?
    1498
    01:53:29,603 --> 01:53:32,638
    The club Pittsie.
    Think about it.
    1499
    01:53:32,731 --> 01:53:36,475
    The board of directors
    the trustees and Mr Nolan.
    1500
    01:53:36,569 --> 01:53:40,155
    Do you think for one moment they're
    gonna let this thing just blow over?
    1501
    01:53:40,239 --> 01:53:44,900
    Schools go down because of things
    like this. They need a scapegoat.
    1502
    01:54:00,259 --> 01:54:02,417
    What's going on guys?
    1503
    01:54:03,762 --> 01:54:06,046
    You finked
    didn't you Cameron?
    1504
    01:54:06,140 --> 01:54:08,267
    "Finked"? I don't know
    what the hell you're talking about.
    1505
    01:54:08,350 --> 01:54:11,604
    You told Nolan everything about
    the club is what I'm talking about.
    1506
    01:54:11,687 --> 01:54:13,595
    Look in case you hadn't heard
    Dalton there's something...
    1507

    01:54:13,689 --> 01:54:16,181


    called an honour code
    at this school all right?
    1508
    01:54:16,275 --> 01:54:19,935
    If a teacher asks you a question
    you tell the truth or you're expelled.
    1509
    01:54:20,029 --> 01:54:21,687
    - You- - Charlie!
    1510
    01:54:21,780 --> 01:54:26,108
    He's a rat! He's in it up to his eyes
    so he ratted to save himself!
    1511
    01:54:26,202 --> 01:54:28,610
    - Don't touch him Charlie.
    You do and you're out.
    - I'm out anyway!
    1512
    01:54:28,704 --> 01:54:31,624
    - You don't know that. Not yet!
    - He's right there Charlie.
    1513
    01:54:31,707 --> 01:54:35,920
    And if you guys are smart you will do
    exactly what I did and cooperate.
    1514
    01:54:36,003 --> 01:54:40,831
    They're not after us.
    We're the victims.
    1515
    01:54:40,925 --> 01:54:43,594
    Us and Neil.
    1516
    01:54:43,677 --> 01:54:46,003
    What's that mean?
    Who are they after?
    1517
    01:54:46,096 --> 01:54:49,464
    Why Mr Keating of course.
    The "Captain" himself!
    1518
    01:54:49,558 --> 01:54:53,302
    You guys didn't really think he could
    avoid responsibility did you?
    1519

    01:54:53,395 --> 01:54:57,139


    Mr Keating responsible for Neil?
    Is that what they're saying?
    1520
    01:54:57,233 --> 01:55:01,977
    Well who else do you think dumb ass?
    The administration? Mr Perry?
    1521
    01:55:02,071 --> 01:55:04,771
    Mr Keating put us up
    to all this crap didn't he?
    1522
    01:55:04,865 --> 01:55:07,399
    If it wasn't for Mr Keating
    Neil would be...
    1523
    01:55:07,493 --> 01:55:09,860
    cozied up in his room right now
    studying his chemistry...
    1524
    01:55:09,954 --> 01:55:12,029
    - and dreaming of being called "Doctor"!
    - That is not true Cameron!
    1525
    01:55:12,122 --> 01:55:14,656
    You know that!
    He didn't put us up to anything.
    1526
    01:55:14,750 --> 01:55:17,242
    - Neil loved acting.
    - Believe what you want
    1527
    01:55:17,336 --> 01:55:20,005
    but I say let Keating fry.
    1528
    01:55:20,089 --> 01:55:23,707
    I mean
    why ruin our lives?
    1529
    01:55:33,060 --> 01:55:36,313
    You just signed
    your expulsion papers Nuwanda.
    1530
    01:55:39,066 --> 01:55:43,362
    And if the rest of you are smart
    you'll do exactly what I did!
    1531
    01:55:44,738 --> 01:55:47,741

    They know everything anyway.


    1532
    01:55:47,825 --> 01:55:51,526
    You can't save Keating
    1533
    01:55:53,122 --> 01:55:55,280
    but you can save yourselves.
    1534
    01:56:28,365 --> 01:56:30,941
    Knox Overstreet.
    1535
    01:56:57,394 --> 01:57:00,564
    - Meeks.
    - Go away. I have to study.
    1536
    01:57:02,233 --> 01:57:04,474
    What happened to Nuwanda?
    1537
    01:57:04,568 --> 01:57:06,476
    Expelled.
    1538
    01:57:09,240 --> 01:57:11,315
    What'd you tell 'em?
    1539
    01:57:11,408 --> 01:57:14,328
    Nothing they didn't
    already know.
    1540
    01:57:15,913 --> 01:57:18,363
    Todd Anderson.
    1541
    01:57:39,562 --> 01:57:42,565
    - Hello son.
    - Hello darling.
    1542
    01:57:44,233 --> 01:57:46,141
    Mom.
    1543
    01:57:51,740 --> 01:57:54,149
    Have a seat Mr Anderson.
    1544
    01:58:00,249 --> 01:58:03,836
    Mr Anderson I think we've pretty well
    put together what's happened here.
    1545
    01:58:03,919 --> 01:58:08,830

    You do admit to being a part


    of this Dead Poets Society?
    1546
    01:58:11,927 --> 01:58:14,795
    Answer him Todd.
    1547
    01:58:16,265 --> 01:58:18,173
    Yes sir.
    1548
    01:58:19,768 --> 01:58:22,855
    I have here
    a detailed description...
    1549
    01:58:22,938 --> 01:58:25,347
    of what occurred at your meetings.
    1550
    01:58:25,441 --> 01:58:27,349
    It describes how your teacher
    Mr Keating
    1551
    01:58:27,443 --> 01:58:29,351
    encouraged you boys
    to organize this club...
    1552
    01:58:29,445 --> 01:58:32,698
    and to use it as a source
    of inspiration...
    1553
    01:58:32,781 --> 01:58:35,357
    for reckless
    and self- indulgent behaviour.
    1554
    01:58:35,451 --> 01:58:40,445
    It describes how Mr Keating
    both in and out of the classroom
    1555
    01:58:40,539 --> 01:58:44,533
    encouraged Neil Perry to follow
    his obsession with acting...
    1556
    01:58:44,627 --> 01:58:47,494
    when he knew all along it was
    against the explicit orders...
    1557
    01:58:47,588 --> 01:58:50,080
    of Neil's parents.
    1558

    01:58:50,174 --> 01:58:54,084


    It was Mr Keating's blatant abuse
    of his position as teacher...
    1559
    01:58:54,178 --> 01:58:57,379
    that led directly
    to Neil Perry's death.
    1560
    01:59:07,816 --> 01:59:10,058
    Read that document carefully
    Todd.
    1561
    01:59:11,987 --> 01:59:14,479
    Very carefully.
    1562
    01:59:20,079 --> 01:59:23,249
    If you've nothing
    to add or amend sign it.
    1563
    01:59:23,332 --> 01:59:26,001
    What's gonna happen
    to Mr Keating?
    1564
    01:59:26,085 --> 01:59:30,662
    I've had enough. Sign the paper Todd!
    1565
    01:59:34,927 --> 01:59:39,171
    Grass is gramen or herba.
    1566
    01:59:39,265 --> 01:59:41,475
    Lapis is stone.
    1567
    01:59:41,559 --> 01:59:45,688
    The entire building
    is aedificium.
    1568
    02:00:22,057 --> 02:00:24,299
    Sit.
    1569
    02:00:25,561 --> 02:00:27,636
    I'll be teaching this
    class through exams.
    1570
    02:00:27,730 --> 02:00:31,473
    We'll find a permanent English teacher
    during the break.
    1571

    02:00:33,235 --> 02:00:37,479


    Who will tell me where you are
    in the Pritchard textbook?
    1572
    02:00:42,411 --> 02:00:44,403
    Mr Anderson?
    1573
    02:00:46,749 --> 02:00:49,835
    - Uh in the in the Prit- - I can't hear you Mr Anderson.
    1574
    02:00:49,919 --> 02:00:53,537
    In the in the in the Pritchard- 1575
    02:00:53,631 --> 02:00:56,331
    Kindly inform me
    Mr Cameron.
    1576
    02:00:56,425 --> 02:00:58,333
    We skipped around a lot sir.
    1577
    02:00:58,427 --> 02:01:02,421
    We covered the romantics and some of the
    chapters on post- Civil War literature.
    1578
    02:01:02,515 --> 02:01:07,884
    - What about the realists?
    - We skipped most of that sir.
    1579
    02:01:07,978 --> 02:01:10,762
    All right then
    we'll start over.
    1580
    02:01:12,983 --> 02:01:16,184
    What is poetry?
    1581
    02:01:18,113 --> 02:01:21,648
    Come!
    1582
    02:01:24,411 --> 02:01:28,280
    Excuse me.
    1583
    02:01:28,374 --> 02:01:30,991
    I came for my personals.
    1584
    02:01:31,085 --> 02:01:33,327
    Should I come back

    after class?
    1585
    02:01:33,420 --> 02:01:35,495
    Get them now
    Mr Keating.
    1586
    02:01:37,883 --> 02:01:41,835
    Gentlemen turn to page 21
    of the introduction.
    1587
    02:01:41,929 --> 02:01:44,546
    Mr Cameron
    1588
    02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:49,979
    read aloud the excellent essay
    by Dr Pritchard...
    1589
    02:01:50,062 --> 02:01:52,554
    on "Understanding Poetry. "
    1590
    02:01:54,275 --> 02:01:56,433
    That page has been
    ripped out sir.
    1591
    02:01:56,527 --> 02:01:58,810
    Well borrow
    somebody else's book.
    1592
    02:01:58,904 --> 02:02:00,896
    They're all ripped out sir.
    1593
    02:02:00,990 --> 02:02:04,358
    What do you mean
    "They're all ripped out"?
    1594
    02:02:04,451 --> 02:02:07,872
    - Sir we- - Ac- - Never mind.
    1595
    02:02:11,458 --> 02:02:13,419
    Read.
    1596
    02:02:16,672 --> 02:02:20,968
    "'Understanding Poetry'
    by DrJ. Evans Pritchard Ph.D.
    1597
    02:02:21,051 --> 02:02:23,126

    "To fully understand poetry


    we must first be fluent...
    1598
    02:02:23,220 --> 02:02:25,796
    "with its metre rhyme
    and figures of speech.
    1599
    02:02:25,890 --> 02:02:27,798
    "Then ask two questions.
    One:
    1600
    02:02:27,892 --> 02:02:31,426
    "How artfully has the objective
    of the poem been rendered?
    1601
    02:02:31,520 --> 02:02:33,731
    "And two:
    1602
    02:02:33,814 --> 02:02:37,474
    "How important
    is that objective?
    1603
    02:02:37,568 --> 02:02:39,142
    "Question one
    rates the poem's perfection.
    1604
    02:02:39,236 --> 02:02:41,144
    "Question two rates its importance.
    1605
    02:02:41,238 --> 02:02:43,146
    'And once these questions
    have been answered

    "determining a poem's greatness
    becomes a relatively simple matter.
    1607
    02:02:46,911 --> 02:02:49,997
    If the poem's score for perfection is
    plotted on the horizontal of a graph- - "
    1608
    02:02:50,080 --> 02:02:52,364
    - Mr Keating!
    They made everybody sign it.
    - Quiet Mr Anderson!
    1609
    02:02:52,458 --> 02:02:54,908
    - You've got to believe me. It's true.

    - I do believe you Todd.


    1610
    02:02:55,002 --> 02:02:56,994
    - Leave Mr Keating.
    - But it wasn't his fault!
    1611
    02:02:57,087 --> 02:03:00,831
    Sit down Mr Anderson! One more
    outburst from you or anyone else
    1612
    02:03:00,925 --> 02:03:02,833
    and you're out
    of this school!
    1613
    02:03:02,927 --> 02:03:04,835
    Leave Mr Keating.
    1614
    02:03:06,347 --> 02:03:09,631
    I said "Leave Mr Keating."
    1615
    02:03:24,823 --> 02:03:29,318
    - O Captain my Captain.
    - Sit down Mr Anderson.
    1616
    02:03:31,288 --> 02:03:33,780
    Do you hear me?
    Sit down!
    1617
    02:03:33,874 --> 02:03:36,575
    Sit down!
    1618
    02:03:38,128 --> 02:03:41,663
    This is your final warning
    Anderson.
    1619
    02:03:41,757 --> 02:03:46,001
    How dare you.
    Do you hear me?
    1620
    02:03:46,095 --> 02:03:48,545
    O Captain my Captain.
    1621
    02:03:49,974 --> 02:03:51,433
    Mr Overstreet I warn you!
    1622
    02:03:51,517 --> 02:03:53,508
    Sit down!

    1623
    02:03:55,771 --> 02:03:58,180
    Sit down!
    1624
    02:03:58,274 --> 02:04:01,861
    Sit down! All of you!
    I want you seated!
    1625
    02:04:01,944 --> 02:04:05,030
    Sit down!
    Leave Mr Keating.
    1626
    02:04:13,455 --> 02:04:16,073
    All of you down!
    I want you seated!
    1627
    02:04:16,166 --> 02:04:19,993
    Do you hear me?
    1628
    02:04:23,716 --> 02:04:26,833
    Sit down!
    1629
    02:05:06,926 --> 02:05:10,043
    Thank you boys.
