*smoking pipes*

Pitts

*coughs badly*

Charlie

That a boy, Pittsie. Inhale, deeply.

Meeks

My dad collects a lot of pipes.

Todd

Really?

Meeks

He must have 30.

Pitts

Your parents collect pipes? Oh that's really interesting! *sarcastically*

Dead Poets

*laugh*

Charlie

Come on, Knox, join in!

Cameron

Yeah, we're all here to help.

Meeks

Yeah what's wrong?

Dead Poets

It's Chris!

Pitts

Here's a picture of Chris for you! *shows the page with the very naked women

appears to be on*

Meeks

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Knox

That's not funny!

Charlie

Knock it off! Smoke your pipes.

Neil

*walks in with old lamp in hands*

Pitts

Neil!

Neil

Friends! Scholars, Welton men.

Meeks

What is that Neil?

Neil

*sits besides Todd*

Pitts

Duh! It's a lamp, Meeks.

Neil

No! This is the god of the cave! *gets lampenkap off, all that remains is a beeldje*

Charlie

*gets a sax from behind him*

Meeks

The god of the cave!

Charlie

*plays one note on the sax*

Neil

Charlie, what are you doing?

Charlie

What about we start this meeting?

Todd

Yeah yeah yeah, I need a light. Who's got a light?

Charlie

*stands up* Gentlemen... "Poetrusic" by Charles Dalton. *plays sax badly*

Dead Poets

Oh no!

Meeks

Oh man!

Charlie

Laughing, crying, tumbling, mumbling.

Dead Poets

*Chuckle*

Charlie

Gotta do more, gotta be more. *plays sax badly*

Dead Poets

*Chuckle*

Charlie

Chaos screaming, chaos dreaming. Gotta do more, gotta be more! *Plays sax really

good*

Dead Poets

*Look up at Charlie in awe* (except for Konx who is looking at the ground)

Charlie

*still playing, kneels down in front of Knox* *stops playing* *ruffles Knox' hair*

Dead Poets

*applause*

Cameron

Wow! Nice!

Neil

That was great! Where did you learn to play like that?

Charlie

*Sits back down next to Knox* My parents made me take the clarinet for years!

Cameron

I love the clarinet!

Charlie

I hated it.

Dead Poets

*laugh* (except for Cameron)

Charlie

The saxophone. The saxophone is more... Sonorous.

Cameron

Ooohh... Sonorous, vocabulary.

Knox

I can't take it anymore! *stands up aggressively* If I don't have Chris I'm gonna kill

myself.

Charlie

Knoxious, you gotta calm down.

Knox

No! Charlie. That's just my problem. I've been calm all my life. I'm gonna do

something about it. *starts walking away*

Neil

Where are you going?

Charlie

What are you gonna do?

Knox

I'm gonna call her. *leaves*

Dead Poets

He's gonna call her! *stand up and leave as well*
