When they are, use "who" when referring to the subject, and "whom" about the object... if you don't know which is which, ask yourself a question about the person using the verb. If the answer is "he," "she" or "they" it's a subject; use "who." If the answer is "him," "her" or "them" it's an object; use "whom."
("he" is trying to go straight, so it would be "who" if it was needed at all; "he" is smitten with Laura, so it would be "who" if it was needed at all; finally, "she" is rebelling... again, "who.")
