INT. TODD AND NEIL'S ROOM-MORNING
Todd and Neil stand in the middle of the room. A suitcase sits on both of their beds. The door is open.
TODD
You ready for this?
NEIL
As ready as I'll ever be. It's not weird for me to be nervous about staying with your family, is it?
TODD
Of course not. I think I'd be worried if you weren't nervous.
Neil chuckles. Charlie knocks on the door frame. Todd and Neil both turn towards him as he speaks.
CHARLIE
We're all heading down to wait for our parents to show up. You guys coming?
NEIL
Yeah, we're coming.
INT. WELTON ENTRANCE HALL-MORNING
The Dead Poets are standing in a clump, talking amongst themselves. There are similar clumps of boys around the room. The room slowly empties out as boys get picked up. Cameron gets picked up and the other Dead Poets wave good-bye. Mr. Keating walks through the entrance hall.
KEATING
Have a good holiday, boys.
DEAD POETS
[all smiling]
Happy holidays, Captain!
Todd turns his head towards the door, and his face falls. We see Mr. and Mrs. Anderson walking towards their son.
TODD
[mumbling]
Mother...father...
MRS. ANDERSON
Darling.
MR. ANDERSON
Son.
TODD
T-this...Neil...
NEIL
[brightly]
Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson! I'm Neil Perry. Thank you so much for giving me a place to stay over the break.
Neil shakes Mr. and Mrs. Andersons hands politely. The other Dead Poets watch this interaction.
MRS. ANDERSON
We're welcome to help you in your rough time.
MR. ANDERSON
You have a good handshake. You seem like a nice, polite, outgoing young man. I believe having you in the house will be a good influence on Todd.
The Dead Poets look flabbergasted. Neil's smile falters as he looks at Todd. Todd just shakes his head slightly as if to say "Don't bother. Comments like this are normal."
MR. ANDERSON
Well, come on, we haven't got all day. We have to pick Jeffery up from the airport later.
Mrs. Anderson nods and follows Mr. Anderson who is moving towards the door. Todd and Neil pick up their suitcases.
NEIL
Bye, guys!
TODD
Yeah, good-bye.
Todd and Neil hurry to catch up to Mr. and Mrs. Anderson. Charlie, Meeks, Pitts, and Knox all shout their good-byes at Todd and Neil's retreating backs.
