Man, I love these quotes and the film!
Neil Perry:
I just talked to my father. He's making me quit the play at Henley Hall.
Acting's everything to me. I- But he doesn't know! He- I can see his
point; we're not a rich family, like Charlie's. We- But he's planning
the rest of my life for me, and I- He's never asked me what I want!
John Keating:
Have you ever told your father what you just told me? About your passion for acting? You ever showed him that?
Neil Perry:
I can't.
John Keating:
Why not?
Neil Perry:
I can't talk to him this way.
John Keating:
Then you're acting for him, too. You're playing the part of the dutiful
son. Now, I know this sounds impossible, but you have to talk to him.
You have to show him who you are, what your heart is!
Neil Perry:
I know what he'll say! He'll tell me that acting's a whim and I should
forget it. They're counting on me; he'll just tell me to put it out of
my mind for my own good.
John Keating:
You are not an indentured servant! It's not a whim for you, you prove it
to him by your conviction and your passion! You show that to him, and
if he still doesn't believe you - well, by then, you'll be out of school
and can do anything you want.
Neil Perry:
No. What about the play? The show's tomorrow night!
John Keating:
Then you have to talk to him before tomorrow night.
Neil Perry:
Isn't there an easier way?
John Keating:
No.
Neil Perry:
[laughs] I'm trapped!
John Keating:
No you're not.
(Dead Poets Society, 1989)
