Will Quote #91

Quote from Will in Def Poet's Society

Christina: Will, I'm glad you know him so well, because I have a favor to ask you.
Will: Anything.
Christina: Could you bring Raphael to poetry night?
Will: Excuse me?
Christina: We have it at school once a month. You see, usually club members get up and recite their poetry. I'm in charge of it this month and I thought, "Wouldn't it be great if we had a real poet?"
Will: Well, I don't know, Christina. Raphael really doesn't like to leave the house. You wouldn't either if you had the same dashiki on for 20 years.
Christina: Could you just ask him, Will? I'd be so grateful.
Will: I could ask him, baby, but I'm sure he'll say no.
Christina: Well, please try, Will. It would mean so much to me. [they kiss]
Will: Yo, he'll be there.
