MR. PERRY: Don't you


dare talk back to me! It's bad enough that you've


wasted your time with this, this absurdacting business. But you


deliberately deceived me! How, how, how did you expect to get away


with this? Answer me. Who put you up to it? Was it this new man?


This, uh, Mr. Keating?


NEIL: No. Nobody--I


thought I'd surprise you. I've gotten all A's in every

MR. PERRY: Did you


think I wasn't going to find out? "Oh, my niece is in a play with


your son," says Mrs. Marks. "No, no, no," I say, "you must be


mistaken. My son's not in a play." You made me a liar out of me,


Neil! Now, tomorrow you go to them and you tell them that you're


quitting.


NEIL: No, I can't. I


have the main part. The performance is tomorrow night.


MR. PERRY: I don't


care if the world comes to an end tomorrow night. You are


through with that play. Is that clear? Is that

NEIL: Yes,


sir.


MR. PERRY: I made a


great many sacrifices to get you here, Neil, and you will not


let me down.


NEIL: No,


sir.
