Mr Holland's Opus

I don't know what he wants, I don't understand what he's trying to say. Don't you get it?...

[Glenn and Iris are discussing the possibility of sending Cole to a special school] Glenn Holland:
The doctor said that gestures meant... Iris Holland:
It's way more than gestures. Glenn Holland:
That gestures meant that Cole would never learn how to lip read or to talk! Iris Holland:
He can barely talk now, he can't say two or three words! Glenn Holland:
The guy is a specialist, Iris! Iris Holland:
Ohhh, he's a specialist who thinks that deaf people are retarded and he is not retarded, he is... [Cole is screaming, asking for something and Iris doesn't know what it is] Iris Holland:
Cole! Glenn Holland:
What does he...? Give him what he wants! Iris Holland:
I don't know what he wants, I don't understand what he's trying to say. Don't you get it? You walk to school every day with all these children who are normal. I can't talk to my son! I don't know what he wants or what he thinks or what he feels. I can't tell him that I love him, I can't tell him who I am. I want to talk to my son! I don't care what it costs, I don't care what the stupid doctor says it's right or wrong. I want to talk to my son!
