CAMERON:「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 he wasn't for Mr. Keating, Neil would be cozied up in his room right now, studying his chemistry and dreaming of being called doctor.」
TODD:「That is not true, Cameron. You know that. He didn't put us to anything. Neil loved acting.」
CAMERON:「Believe what you want, but I say let Keating fry. I mean, why ruin our lives?」
narrator:Charlie lunges at Cameron again and punches him in the face. Cameron falls to the floor as the boys pull Charlie away. Cameron lifts a hand to his bloody nose.
CAMERON:「You just signed your expulsion papers, Nuwanda.」
narrator:Cameron rises to his feet.
CAMERON:「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.」
narrator:Cameron walks away, closing the door behind him.

TODD:「Mom.」
narrator:THe door closes behind Todd. He remains standing, not knowing what to do.
 MR. NOLAN Have a seat, Mr. Anderson.
 Todd sits down next to his parents.
 MR. NOLAN 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?
 Todd says nothing.
 MR. ANDERSON Answer him, Todd.
TODD:「Yes, sir.」


narrator:Mr. Nolan puts his glasses on and glances at a paper before him before removing his glasses once more.
 MR. NOLAN 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 order of Neil's parents. It was Mr. Keating's blatant abuse of his position as teacher that led directly to Neil Perry's death.
 Mr. Nolan motions to Todd's father, who passes along a sheet of paper to Todd.
 MR. NOLAN Read that document carefully, Todd. Very carefully.
 Todd looks at the paper, which already contains the signatures of the other four boys.
 MR. NOLAN If you've nothing to add or amend, sign it.
TODD:「What's gonna happen to Mr. Keating?」
narrator:MR. ANDERSON I've had enough. Sign the paper, Todd.
 Mr. Nolan holds out a pen for Todd to take.
 EXT. CAMPUS - DAY
 Mr. McAllister leads his students, textbooks in hand, through the snow outside the classrooms.
 McALLISTER Grass is gramen or herba. Lapis is stone. The entire building is aedificium.
 Keating looks out from his office window. McAllister pauses and looks up at Keating, giving him a brief wave. Keating waves back.
 INT. KEATING'S OFFICE - DAY
 Keating laughs slightly as he watches McAllister from the window. Inside, all his belongings have been packed up.
 INT. KEATING'S CLASSROOM - DAY
 The students are all seated at their desks in silence. Everyone looks as the door opens. They quickly stand as Mr. Nolan enters the room.
 MR. NOLAN Sit.
 The students sit once again as Mr. Nolan walks to the front of the room.
 MR. NOLAN 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. NOLAN Mr. Anderson?
TODD:「Uh, in the, in the Pr-」
narrator:MR. NOLAN I can't hear you, Mr. Anderson.
TODD:「In the, in the, in the Pritchard?」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Kindly inform me, Mr. Cameron.
CAMERON:「We skipped around a lot, sir. We covered the Romantics and some of the chapters on Post Civil War literature.」
narrator:MR. NOLAN What about the Realists?
CAMERON:「I believe we skipped most of that, sir.」
narrator:MR. NOLAN All right, then, we'll start over. What is poetry?
 There is a knock at the classroom door.
 MR. NOLAN Come.
 The students look back as the door opens. They quickly turn away when hey see it is Keating.


John Keating:「Excuse me. I came for my personals. Should I come back after class?」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Get them now, Mr. Keating.
 MR. NOLAN Gentlemen, turn to page 21 of the introduction. Mr. Cameron, read aloud the excellent essay by Dr. Pritchard on "Understanding Poetry."
 Todd slowly closes his book. Keating opens the door to the tiny room off the classroom.
CAMERON:「That page has been ripped out, sir.」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Well, borrow somebody else's book.
CAMERON:「They're all ripped out, sir.」
narrator:MR. NOLAN What do you mean, they're all ripped out?
CAMERON:「Sir, we, uh-」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Never mind.
 Mr. Nolan takes his own book over to Cameron's desk and then slaps the open page.
 MR. NOLAN Read!
 As Cameron begins to read, Keating looks out at Todd as he puts his scarf on. Todd looks at him for a moment and then glances away.


CAMERON:「Understanding Poetry by Dr. J Evans Pritchard, Ph.D. To fully understand poetry, we must first be fluent with its meter, rhyme and figures of speech, then ask two questions: 1) How artfully has the objective of the poem been rendered and 2)..."」
narrator:The door squeaks as Keating shuts it behind him. Cameron pauses.
CAMERON:「How important is that objective? Question 1 rates the poem's perfection; question 2 rates its importance. And once these questions have been answered, determining the poem's greatness becomes a relatively simple matter. If the poem's score for perfection is plotted on the horizontal of a graph--"」
narrator:Keating passes by Todd and the others and gets to the back of the classroom before Todd leaps up from his seat and turns to face him.
TODD:「Mr. Keating! They made everybody sign it.」
narrator:Mr. Nolan gets up from his desk and approaches Todd.
 MR. NOLAN Quiet, Mr. Anderson.
TODD:「You gotta believe me. It's true.」
John Keating:「I do believe you, Todd.」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Leave, Mr. Keating.
TODD:「But it wasn't his fault!」


narrator:MR. NOLAN Sit down, Mr. Anderson!
 Todd reluctantly returns to his seat.
 MR. NOLAN One more outburst from you or anyone else, and you're out of this school! Leave, Mr. Keating.
 Keating hesitates at the back of the classroom.
 MR. NOLAN I said leave, Mr. Keating.
 Keating slowly turns and heads to the door. As he opens it, Todd, stands upon his desk and turns to Keating.
TODD:「O Captain! My Captain!」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Sit down, Mr. Anderson!
 Keating pauses at the door and looks back at Todd on his desk.
 MR. NOLAN Do you hear me? Sit down! Sit down! This is your final warning, Anderson. How dare you? Do you hear me?
 After a moment of indecision, Knox climbs up onto his desk.
KNOX:「O Captain! My Captain!」
narrator:MR. NOLAN Mr. Overstreet, I warn you! Sit down!
 Pitts climbs up onto his desk, followed by several others, including Meeks.
 MR. NOLAN Sit down! Sit down. All of you. I want you seated. Sit down. Leave, Mr. Keating.
 More students stand on their desks until half the class is standing.
 MR. NOLAN All of you, down. I want you seated. Do you hear me?
 MR. NOLAN Sit down!
 Keating stands in the doorway, staring up at the boys in wonder. A smile comes to his face.
John Keating:「Thank you, boys. Thank you.」
