Answer: Tennyson

Neil read an extract from "Ulysses", by Alfred Lord Tennyson. "Come, my friends...'Tis not too late to seek a newer world, for my purpose holds to sail beyond the sunset.

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

Answer: Tom

We can hear Mr. Nolan and Mrs. Perry address him as "Tom". Gale is the first name of Mr. Nolan.

Answer: banker

We know that as Neil once said to Knox and Charlie, "Oh, that's rich. Like you guys tell your parents off, Mr. Future Lawyer and Mr. Future Banker." Later we know Knox's father is a lawyer from Mr. Danburry. So Charlie's father should be a banker.
