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.

1:22:59
l...
1:23:01
- Isn't there an easier way?
- No.

1:23:09
I'm trapped.
1:23:11
No, you're not.
1:23:36
Chris!
1:23:39
Chris. Chris Noel.
Do you know where she is?

1:23:42
- Um, I think she's in room 111.
- Thanks.

1:23:47
I know.
1:23:55
- Excuse me. Chris.
- Knox, what are you doing here?

1:23:59
I came to apologize for the other night.
