Here’s your crown. Let’s go.

If we shadows have offended,

Think but this, and all is mended,

That you have but slumber’d here While these visions did appear.

And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream,

Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend:

And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck

Now to ‘scape the serpent’s tongue, We will make amends ere long;

Else the Puck a liar call;

So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends,

And Robin shall restore amends.

Yeah, Neil.

Great job, Neil.

Great show, everyone.

Excuse me, I’m Neil’s father. I need to see him.

Your father, he’s…

What did you think of it?

Really, I thought you were all just wonderful.

Excuse me, please. Excuse me.

Excuse me, please. Neil. Neil.

Neil. We love you, wait.

I can’t, guys. Neil.

Neil. Excuse me.

Neil. Neil. You have the gift.

What a performance. You left even me speechless.

You have to stay… Get in the car.

Keating, you stay away from my son.

Neil. Neil. Mr. Perry, come on.

Don’t make it any worse than it is.

Is it okay if we walk back?

Captain?

Knox.

We’ll be home about 11:30 still. I know where he gets it.

Ahem; We’re trying very hard to understand why it is that you insist on defying us.

Whatever the reason, we’re not gonna let you ruin your life.

Tomorrow I’m withdrawing you from Welton and enrolling you in Braden Military School.

You’re going to Harvard and you’re gonna be a doctor.

But that’s 10 more years.

Father, that’s a lifetime. Oh, stop it.

Don’t be so dramatic. You make it sound like a prison term.

You don’t understand, Neil.

You have opportunities that I never even dreamt of.

I am not going to let you waste them. I’ve got to tell you what I feel.

We’ve been so worried about… What? What? Tell me what you feel.

What is it?

Is it more of this, This acting business?

Because you can forget that.

What?

Nothing.

Nothing?

Well, then, let’s go to bed.

I was good.

I was really good.

Go on, get some sleep.

It’s all right. It’s going to be all right.
