And I cling to that hope.

- Now open the door.

- Don't do this.

Please open the door.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Professor,

I know you ain't mean

them words.

I'm gonna be there

in the morning.

I'm gonna be there, you hear?

I'm gonna be there!

I'm gonna be there.

You know he didn't mean

them words.

You know he didn't.

You know he didn't.

I don't understand why

you sent me down there.

I don't understand.

If you wanted me to help him, then how

come you didn't give me the words?

You give them to him.

What about me?

That's all right.

That's all right.

If you don't never speak again,

you know I'll keep your word.

You know I will.

You know I'm good for it.

Is that okay?

Is that okay?
