KEATING
Then today you will see that what is
inside of you is worth a great deal.

Keating strides to the blackboard. Rapidly, he writes:

"I SOUND MY BARBARIC YAWP OVER THE ROOFTOPS OF THE WORLD.--
Walt Whitman

KEATING
A yawp, for those who don’t know, is
a loud cry or yell. Todd, I would
like you to give us a demonstration
of a barbaric yawp.

TODD
(barely audible)
A yawp?

KEATING
A barbaric yawp.

Keating pauses, then suddenly moves fiercely at Todd.

KEATING
Good god, boy! Yell!

TODD
(frightened)
Yawp!

KEATING
Again! Louder!

TODD
YAWP!
