The death of Neil Perry is a tragedy.

He was a fine student.

One of Welton’s best.

And he will be missed.

We’ve contacted each of your parents to explain the situation.

Naturally, they’re all quite concerned.

At the request of Neil’s family,

I intend to conduct a thorough enquiry into this matter.

Your complete cooperation is expected.

You told him about this meeting? Twice.

That’s it, guys. We’re all fried.

How do you mean? Cameron’s a fink.

He’s in Nolan’s office right now, finking. About what?

The club, Pittsie. Think about it.

The board of directors, the trustees and Mr. Nolan.

Do you think for one moment they’re gonna let this thing just blow over?

Schools go down because of things like this.

They need a scapegoat.

What’s going on, guys?

You finked, didn’t you, Cameron?

Finked? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

You told Nolan everything about the club is what I’m talking about.

Look, in case you hadn’t heard, Dalton,

there’s something called an honor code at this school, all right?

If a teacher asks you a question, you tell the truth or you’re expelled.

You little punk. Charlie.

He’s a rat! He’s in it up to his eyes, so he ratted to save himself.

Don’t touch him. You do and you’re out.

I’m out anyway. You don’t know that, not yet.

He’s right there, Charlie.

And if you guys are smart, you will do exactly what I did and cooperate.

They’re not after us. We’re the victims.

Us and Neil.

What’s that mean? Who are they after?

Why, Mr. Keating, of course. The “captain” himself.

I mean, you guys didn’t really think he could avoid responsibility, did you?

Mr. Keating responsible for Neil?

Is that what they’re saying? Well, who else do you think, dumb-ass?

The administration? Mr. Perry?

Mr. Keating put us up to all this crap, didn’t he?

If it wasn’t for Mr. Keating, Neil would be cozied up in his room right now

studying his chemistry and dreaming of being…

That is not true, Cameron. You know that.

He didn’t put us up to anything. Neil loved acting.

Believe what you want, but I say let Keating fry.

I mean, why ruin our lives?

Charlie.

You dummy. Charlie.

You just signed your expulsion papers, Nuwanda.

And if the rest of you are smart, you’ll do exactly what I did.

They know everything anyway.

You can’t save Keating,

but you can save yourselves.

Knox Overstreet.

Meeks. Go away, I have to study.

What happened to Nuwanda? Expelled.

What’d you tell them?

Nothing they didn’t already know.

Todd Anderson.

Hello, son. Hello, darling.

Mom.

Have a seat, Mr. Anderson.

Mr. Anderson, I think we’ve pretty well put together what’s happened here.

You do admit to being a part of this Dead Poets Society?

Answer him, Todd.

Yes, sir.

I have here a detailed description of what occurred at your meetings.

It describes how your teacher, Mr. Keating,

encouraged you boys to organize this club

and to use it as a source of inspiration for reckless and self-indulgent behavior.

It describes how Mr. Keating, both in and out of the classroom,

encouraged Neil Perry to follow his obsession with acting

when he knew all along it was against the explicit orders of Neil’s parents.

It was Mr. Keating’s blatant abuse of his position as teacher

that led directly to Neil Perry’s death.

Read that document carefully, Todd.

Very carefully.

If you’ve nothing to add or amend, sign it.

What’s gonna happen to Mr. Keating?

I’ve had enough. Sign the paper, Todd.

Grass is garment or herbal.

Lapis is stone.

The entire building is aedificium.

Sit.

I’ll be teaching this class through exams.

We’ll find a permanent English teacher during the break.

Who will tell me where you are in the Pritchard textbook?

Mr. Anderson.

In the… In the Pr… I can’t hear you, Mr. Anderson.

In the Pritchard?

Kindly inform me, Mr. Cameron.

We skipped around a lot, sir.

We covered the romantics and some of the chapters on post Civil War literature.

What about the realists?

I believe we skipped most of that, sir.

All right, then, we’ll start over.

What is poetry?

Come.

Excuse me.
