- Get you some tea?
- Tea. Sure.

1:21:07
- Like some milk or sugar in that?
- No, thanks.

1:21:10
Gosh, they don't give you
much room around here.

1:21:12
No. It's part of the monastic oath.
1:21:14
They don't want worldly things
distracting me from my teaching.

1:21:20
- She's pretty.
- She's also in London.

1:21:23
Makes it a little difficult.
1:21:25
- How do you stand it?
- Stand what?

1:21:27
You can go anywhere. You can do
anything. How can you stand being here?

1:21:30
'Cause I love teaching.
I don't want to be anywhere else.

1:21:37
What's up?
1:21:40
I just talked to my father. He's making
me quit the play at Henley Hall.

1:21:46
Acting's everything to me.
1:21:49
I re...
But he doesn't know. He...

1:21:53
I can see his point. We're not
a rich family like Charlie's, and we...

1:21:58
But he's planning the rest of my life
for me, and l...

1:22:00
H-He's never asked me what I want.
1:22:02
Have you ever told your father
what you just told me?

1:22:05
About your passion for acting.
You ever show him that?

1:22:08
- I can't.
- Why not?

1:22:11
I can't talk to him this way.
1:22:13
Then you're acting for him, too.
1:22:16
You're playing the part
of the dutiful son.

1:22:19
I know this sounds impossible,
but you have to talk to him.

1:22:21
You have to show him who you are,
what your heart is.

1:22:23
I know what he'll say.
1:22:26
He'll tell me that acting's a whim,
and I should forget it.

1:22:29
That they're counting on me.
1:22:31
He'll just tell me to put it out
of my mind for my own good.

1:22:34
You are not an indentured servant.
If it's not a whim for you...

1:22:38
you prove it to him by your conviction
and your passion.

1:22:40
You show him that, and if he still
doesn't believe you...

1:22:43
well, by then you'll be out of school
and you can do anything you want.

1:22:48
No.
1:22:52
What about the play?
The show's tomorrow night.

1:22:54
Well, you have to talk to him
before tomorrow night.
