Keep ripping gentlemen. This is a battle,

a war. And the casualties could be your

hearts and souls. 

Keating holds out the basket to Charlie who spits out a wad of paper.

Thank you Mr. Dalton. Armies of academics

going forward, measuring poetry. No, we

will not have that here. No more of Mr.

J. Evans Pritchard. Now in my class you

will learn to think for yourselves again.

You will learn to savor words and language.

No matter what anybody tells you, words and

ideas can change the world. I see that look

in Mr. Pitt's eye, like nineteenth century

literature has nothing to do with going to

business school or medical school. Right?

Maybe. Mr. Hopkins, you may agree with him, 

thinking "Yes, we should simply study our

Mr. Pritchard and learn our rhyme and meter

and go quietly about the business of

achieving other ambitions." I have a little

secret for ya. Huddle up. Huddle up! 

The boys get up from their seats and gather around Keating in the center

of the class.

We don't read and write poetry because

it's cute. We read and write poetry

because we are members of the human race.

And the human race is filled with passion.

Medicine, law, business, engineering,

these are all noble pursuits, and necessary

to sustain life. But poetry, beauty,

romance, love, these are what we stay alive

for. To quote from Whitman: "O me, o life

of the questions of these recurring, of the

endless trains of the faithless, of cities

filled with the foolish. What good amid

these, o me, o life? Answer: that you are

here. That life exists, and identity.

That the powerful play goes on, and you

may contribute a verse. That the powerful

play goes on and you may contribute a verse.

Keating looks up at Todd.

What will your verse be?
