Hello readers. I wrote this during Script Frenzy. However, since it is 100 pages (as is Script Frenzy standard) I have broken it up into 20 smaller "chapters." I plan to upload one chapter a day.

Disclaimer: I do not own Dead Poets Society. Otherwise I wouldn't be writing fanfiction.

INT. THEATER LOBBY-EVENING

Mr. Perry leads Neil through the lobby, not letting him stop to talk to his friends. Neil smiles at his friends as he passes them, although there is a sadness in his eyes and his smile is strained. The Dead Poets call out to Neil, but Mr. Keating shushes them, sensing that there is trouble for Neil.

EXT. OUTSIDE THEATER-EVENING

Mr. Perry leads Neil to the car, which is parked partway down the block. The Dead Poets and Mr. Keating stand in front of the theater and watch Neil and Mr. Perry walk away.

TODD

[To Mr. Keating]

Will he be alright?

MR. KEATING

He will be, if he keeps his wits about him.

INT. PERRY LIVING ROOM-NIGHT

Mr. Perry walks into the room, followed by a downcast Neil.

MR. PERRY

Edith!

Mrs. Perry walks into the room a few moments later, a confused look on her face. Upon seeing Neil her confusion turns into something resembling sadness.

MR. PERRY

Neil, I thought I told you to give up this silly acting business. Why are you so intent on disobeying us? We've raised you right Neil. You shouldn't be acting out like this.

NEIL

But, father I...I had to. No one else knew my part. The whole play would have been ruined.

MR. PERRY

I don't give a damn about the play!

NEIL

Father...

MR. PERRY

No, Neil, you listen to me. From now on you are done with this acting crap. You are going to study hard, and go to medical school. Once you're done with medical school you can do whatever the hell you want.

NEIL

Good! As soon as I finish medical school I'll start acting and all of that money you spent on medical school will have gone to waste. I won't even wait that long to get back into acting! I'm not going to just give it up! Even if I do end up in medical school, which I am going to fight very hard against, by the way, I'll do community theater in my free time.

MR. PERRY

You won't have any free time in medical school!

NEIL

I'll make some!

Throughout this whole exchange Mrs. Perry has looked between her husband and her son, a defeated look on her face.

MR. PERRY

[his face livid]

You are no longer my son.

NEIL

Father...

MR. PERRY

Don't call me that ever again. You have half an hour. Get out.

NEIL

Mother, you honestly can't agree with him.

Mrs. Perry opens her mouth to speak, but Mr. Perry cuts her off.

MR. PERRY

Don't be ridiculous! Of course she agrees with me! Now go!

Mr. Perry storms out of the room. Mrs. Perry has tears streaming down her face.

NEIL

Mother...

MRS. PERRY

Go, Neil. Go before he decides to do something worse.

Neil nods, walking out of the room. He pauses at the door to look at his mother one more time.
