Miss Lang: Mr. Holland? 
Mr. Holland: You're late. Aren't you left your clarinet here the other day?  
Miss Lang: Yeah, um, if you know anyone who wants it I'm giving up the clarinet. I'm just, I'm just goofing everybody else up anyway. So, um, just want to say thanks. Thanks for trying. 
Mr. Holland: Is it any fun? 
Miss Lang: I wanted it to be. 
Mr. Holland: You know what we've been doing wrong, Miss Lang? We've been playing the notes on the page. (He went to play the recorder) 
Miss Lang: Well, what else is there to play? 
Mr. Holland: Well, there's a lot more to music than notes on the page. (The music starts from the recorder) These guys, for example, now, they can't sing, and they have absolutely no harmonic sense. And they're playing the same three chords. over and over again. And I love it. Do you? 
Miss Lang: Yeah. 
Mr. Holland: (chuckles) Yeah, why? 
Miss Lang: I don't know. 
Mr. Holland: Yeah, you do.
Miss Lang: Because it's fun?
Mr. Holland: That's right. Because playiog music is supposed too be fun; it's about heart; it's about feelings and moviog people and something beautiful in being alive. And it's not about notes on a page; I could teach you notes on a page; I can't teach you that other stuff. Do me a favor. Pick up your clarinet and play with me. 
Miss Lang: Okay. 
Mr. Holland: Aod this time no music. (Take the music book away) Because you already know it. It's already in your head aod your fingers and your heart. You just don't trust yourself to koow that. Okay, here we go. Ready? One, two, three, four. (Music starts，miss Lang failed again) Okay, let's do it again, and this time not so much lip on the mouth piece. One, two, three, four. (Music starts again, still Miss Lang failed for a second time) All right, no no, don't do that. Let me ask you a question. 
Miss Lang: What? 
Mr. Holland: When you look in the mirror, what do you like best about yourself? 
Miss Lang: My hair. 
Mr. Holland: Why? 
Miss Lang: My father always says that it reminds him of a sunset. 
Mr. Holland: Play the sunset. Close your eyes. One, two, three, four. (Music starts for the third time. and it goes on very successfully) Don't stop playing.
