02. Carpe Diem

chapter 2. Carpe Diem

12. INT. MATH CLASSROOM - DAY

Dr. Hager walks up the classroom aisles with his arms behind his back.

HAGER : Your study of trigonometry requires absolute precision. Anyone failing to turn in any homework assignment will be penalized one point off their final grade. Let me urge you not to test me on this point.

13. INT. KEATING'S CLASSROOM- DAY

Students enter Keating'js classroom, talking and acting up. Keating glances out from his room off to one side.

KNOX : Hey Spaz, Spaz.

Spaz turns around in time to be hit by a ball of crumpled up paper while Cameron smacks him on the shoulder.

* aisle: 복도, 통로 / trigonometry : 삼각함수 / urge:몰나내다,자극하다,압박하다 / glance: 힐끗보다, 잠깐 보다     * crumple:(종이 따위를) 뭉쳐구기다 / smack: 찰싹 치다(때리다)

CAMERON : Brain damage.

The students quickly quiet down as Keating emerges from the other room. whistling the 1812 Overture. He walks up the length of the classroom and out the door without a word. The students look around at one another, uncertain of what to do. Keating pokes his head back in the doorway

KEATING : Well, come on.

He gestures them to follow and the students, after some hesitation, grab their books and follow Keating out into the main entranceway.

BOYS : (murmuring and chattering) Let's go. Let's go, guys.

14. INT.ENTRANCEWAY -DAY

Keating stands before the school's trophy cabinets and waits until all the boys arrive.                                     He continues whistling.

KEATING : "Oh Captain, My Captain." Who knows where that comes from? Anybody?

Todd looks up as if he knows the answer, but says nothing. Cough. Spaz blows his nose a little too close to Meeks for his liking.

KEATING : Not a clue? It's from poem by Walt Whitman about Mr.Abraham Lincoln. Now in his class you can call me Mr.Keating. Or, if you're slightly more daring, "Oh Captain,My Captain"

The students laugh slightly.

*poke: 찌르다.구멍으내다,내밀다 / gesticulate: (몸짓)이야기하다 n.gesture / blow : 불다 / blow one's nose: 코풀다. 폭파하다(up)

KEATING : Now let me dispel a few rumors so they don't fester into facts. Yes, I too attended Hell-ton and I survived. And no, at the time I was not the mental giant you see before you.I was the intellectual equivalent of a ninety-eight pound weakling. I would go to the beach and people would kick copies of Byron in my face.

The boys laugh once again, while Carmen, obviously trying to write all this down, looks around confusedly. Keating looks down at papers in his hand.

KEATING : Now, Mr.Petts. That's a rather unfortunate name. Mr.Pitts, where are you?

Pitts raises his hand while everyone around him snickers.

KEATING : Mr.Pitts, would you open your hymnal to page 542 and read the first stanza of the poem you find there?

All the boys open their books.

PITTS : "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time?"

Some boys around him chuckle.

KEATING : Yes, that's the one. Somewhat appropriate, isn't it?

* fester:(상처)곪다.악화되다/ a mental giant: 걸출한 지성인 / equivalent : 등가의, 동등한 / weakling : 허약자,약골 * snicker : 숨죽여 웃다. 

PITTS : "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, old time is still a-flying. And this same flower that smiles today, tomorrow will be dying."

KEATING : Thank you. Mr.PITTS."Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." The Latin term for that sentiment is "Carpe Diem." Now, who knows what that means?

Meeks immediately puts his hand up.

MEEKS : Carpe Diem. That's "Seize the Day."

KEATING : Very good, Mr...

MEEK : Meeks.

KEATING : Meeks. Another unusual name. Seize the day. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may." Why does the writer use these lines?

CHARLIE : Because he's in a hurry.

KEATING : No, ding!

Keating slams his hand down on an imaginary buzzer.

KEATING : Thank you for playing anyway. Because we are food for worms, lads. Because, believe it or not, each and every one of us in this room is one day going to stop breathing, turn cold, and die.

Keating turns towards the trophy cases, filled with trophies, footballs, and team pictures.

*ye: 너희들 / lad:소년,청년 / my lad : 제군들 / turn cold : 싸늘히 식다

KEATING : I would like you yo step forward over here and peruse some of the faces from the past. You've walked past them many times. I don't think you've really looked at them.

The students slowly gather round the cases, looking at the old photographs and Keating moves behind them.

KEATING : They're not that different from you, are they? Sam haircuts. Full of homones, just like you. Invincible, just like you feel. The world is their oyster. They believe they're destined for great things, just like many of you. Their eyes are full of hope, just like you. Did they wait until it was too late to make from their lives even one iota of what they were capable? Because you see, gentleman, these boys are now fertilizing daffodils. But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen. Do you hear it?

The boys lean in and Keating over Cameron's shoulder.

KEATING : (whisphering in a gruff voice) Carpe.

Cameron looks over his shoulder with an aggravated expression on his face.

KEATING : Hear it? (whisphering again) Carpe. Carpe Diem. Sieze the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

* peruse:정독하다.읽다 / ful of hurmones: 호르몬으로 가득찬 / invincible: 무적의,이길 수없는 / iota:아주 적은 양   * fertiize: 비옥하게하다 / hover:배회하다 / gruff: 쉰, 거친, 난폭한 / aggravated:짜증난,악화된

The boys stare at the faces in the cabinet in silence.

15.INT.SCHOOL STEPS - DAY

The boys emerge from the building, loaded down with numerous books.

PITTS : That was weird.

NEIL : But different.

KNOX : Spooky if you ask me.

CAMERON : Think he'll test us on that stuff?

CHARLIE : Oh, come on Cameron, don't you get anything?

CAMERON : What? What?

Charlie scoffs.

16.INT.LOCKER ROOM - EVENING

A coach sticks his head around the corner into the room.

COACH : Let's go, boys, hustle up in here. That means you, Dalton.

Meeks emerges from showers, drying himself off.

MEEKS : Alight, who's up for a trig study group tonight, guys?

PITTS : Me.

NEIL : Me.

CHARLIE : (still annoyed by what the coach said) What?

KNOX : I can't make it, guys. I have to have dinner at the Danburry's house.

PITTS : The Danburry's? Who are the Danburry's?

*weird: 이상한 / spooky:괴상한,무서운 / hustle:재촉하다, 서두르게하다 / make it:성공하다.처리하다

KNOX : Firends of my Dad's. They are probably in their nineties or somgthing.

CHARLIE : Ooh!

KNOX : Hey. Sounds great, doesn't it?

NEIL : Anything's better than Hell-ton hash.

CHARLIE : I'll second that.

KNOX : Yeah, we'll see.

Neil approaches Todd. who's been sitting by the window staring down at the floor. Neil snaps his fingers to get Todd's attention.

NEIL : Hey! You coming to the study group tonight?

TODD : Uh, no, no I, uh, I've got some history I wanna do.

17.INT.TODD'S ROOM-EVENING

Todd is seated at his desk. He scrawls "SIEZE THE DAY" across a blank page of his notebook. He looks at it for a few moments before crumpling it up and opening up his Chemistry book.

18.INT.ENTRANCEWAY-NIGHT

Hager comes down the stairs. Knox is looking at one of the old class photos on the walls.

Knox manages to break ou of her daze.

KNOX : Hi, Knox Overstreet. Uh, Dr.Hager.

CHRIS : Hi.

KNOX : That is the Danburry's, right?
