17. In the Principal office room
Wright: It gives us great insight into what she must be feeling. Mr.
Dawson, its becoming clear... that shes holding herself back in the classroom. Its as if shes literally afraid to learn. No one
doubts that you love your daughter. But the Department of Child and Family Services... contacted us. They shared with us that your
records show... that your intellectual capacity... is around that of a seven-year-old. Our concern is what happens when Lucy turns
eight. Principal:
Mr. Dawson, do you understand... what Ms. Wright is trying to tell you about Lucy?
Sam: John wanted to try new things. And it wasnt Yokos fault. No, it
wasnt Yokos fault. Annie says you can hear it on The White Album. Because John wanted to try new things.
