care about the movie.

You don't care

about the movie?

What are you so crazy

about movies for?

Ah... That was my favorite night

at the orphanage. Movie night.

We'd all... We'd all

race into the dining hall,

and, of course, everyone wanted

to sit in front.

So we'd be packed in so tight you could

feel the kid next to you breathing.

You don't miss it?

I miss things.

I miss people.

I miss reading to the boys.

You had so much

responsibility, huh?

I didn't ask

for any responsibility.

Just a little privacy.

Well, you're in luck.

Let me show you.

Because privacy is what

drive-in movies are all about.

So, scrunch down like this.

Come on.

Scrunch down.

All the way.

And then

give me your arm.

Put your arm around me.

You just cuddle and hug

and, you know.

You don't really

watch the movie.

I would watch the movie.

Sorry, Fuzzy.

It's Homer's splice again.

Fuzzy?

Fuzz?

If the little ones

want to know what happened,

tell them that Fuzzy

was adopted.

- Okay.

- So, what happened to Fuzzy?

- He was adopted.

- Good.

- Will they believe that, you think?

- They'll believe it...

because they

want to believe it.

- Shouldn't we tell Homer?

- If Homer wanted to know

what was happening here,

he could pick up

the telephone and call us.

I think it was a nurse or a nanny

who, uh, who adopted Fuzzy.

Someone who could

take care of him.

Because they had a better

breathing machine...

than the one that Dr. Larch

built for him.

So I think we should be

happy for Fuzzy, okay?

He found a family.

Good night, Fuzzy.

Good night, Fuzzy.

Homer.

Morning, everybody.

Mornin', Miss Olive.

- Look. There's mail for you, Homer.

- Oh, thank you.

Rose, I brought those clothes for you.

Come on. Let's go see if they fit.

What's that?

- Oh, ain't you gonna open it, Homer?

- No.

Mind your business,

now, Peaches.

- Sorry 'bout that, Homer.

- It's okay.

- Okay, okay, okay.

- Oh, look. Right here.

It's glass.

Look at that.

- Isn't that beautiful?

- Mm-hmm.

Give me your hand.

Feel that.

- Feel that?

- Mm-hmm.

The ocean rubs it

against the sand.

That's how it gets

that smooth.

Takes a year for it to get

like that, though.

Come on.

Ah!

You're too fast!

He volunteered.

Jesus. Nobody volunteers for

the Burma run. He said so himself.

He just leaves me here. What does

he want? He wants me to wait for him?

Oh, God, he knows me.

He knows I'm not good

at being alone.

This was right.

I know this was right.

- You're right. This was right.

- Yeah.

Just tell me. Do you want me to stay?

Do you want me to go?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I just...

think we should

just wait and see.

Okay.

- Are we all set?

- Yeah, that's it.

Goodbye, Arthur. Thank you again

for all your hard work.

- My pleasure, ma'am.

- Have a safe trip, Rose. God bless.

- Take care now.

- Homer, you take care of yourself.

- Okay. You too. Okay.

- We'll see you next year.

- Homer, see you later.

- Bye, everyone.

- Bye.

- Don't freeze to death, Homer.

- Don't get yourself

in no trouble, Homer.

- Go on and freeze to death

if you want to, Homer.

- Shut up, Jack.

Take care

of yourself, Homer.

So you're staying.

Olive told me.

You know, you could have

told me yourself.

I'm just waiting and seeing,

like you said.

Dear Dr. Larch,

Thank you for your doctor's bag,

although it seems that I will not

have the occasion to use it,

barring some emergency,

of course.

I'm not a doctor.

With all due respect to your profession,

I'm enjoying my life here.

I'm enjoying being

a lobsterman and an orchardman.

In fact, I've never

enjoyed myself as much.

The truth is, I want to stay here.

I believe I'm being of some use.

I've looked at

so many women,

and I've never...

I've never felt a thing,

you know.

I mean, I've seen everything.

Just felt nothing.

With you, it, uh...

To look at you, it hurts.

Come here.

My dear Homer:

I thought you were over

your adolescence...

the first time in our lives

when we imagine we have...

something terrible to hide

from those who love us.

- Homer?

- Do you think it's not obvious

to us what's happened to you?

You've fallen in love,

haven't you?

By the way, whatever you're up to can't

be too good for your heart.

Then again, it's the sort

of condition that could be

made worse by worrying about it,

so don't worry

about it.

- Dear Dr. Larch:

What I'm learning here may not be

as important as what I learned from you,

but everything

is new to me.

Yesterday, I learned

how to poison mice.

Field mice girdle an apple tree,:

Pine mice kill the roots.

You use poison oats

and poison corn.

I know what you have to do.

You have to play God.

Well, killing mice is as close as I want

to come to playing God.

Homer, here

in St. Cloud's,

I have been given

the opportunity of playing God...

or leaving practically

everything up to chance.

Men and women of conscience

should seize those moments...

when it's possible

to play God.

There won't be many.

Do I interfere when

absolutely helpless women...

tell me they simply can't

have an abortion...

that they simply must go through with

having another and yet another orphan?

I do not.

I do not even recommend.

I just give them

what they want.

You are my

work of art, Homer.

Everything else

has been just a job.

I don't know if you've got

a work of art in you,

but I know what your job is:

You're a doctor.

I'm not a doctor.

You're going to

replace me.

The board of trustees

is looking for my replacement.

I can't replace you.

I'm sorry.

"Sorry"?

I'm not sorry.

Not for anything I've done.

I'm not even sorry

that I love you.

I think we may have

lost him to the world.

Come on, come on.

Just read the label.

- Come on. Come on.

- Okay.

Okay. You can

have the book.

You can have the book,

but please don't tickle me.

Oh.

Who is it?

Don't know.

It's Mr. Rose.

Hey!

- Hey, Homer.

- Hero. How ya doin'?

Good.

Miss Candy.

- Hey, Homer.

- Good to see you again.

- Thank you.

- Welcome back.

- Hey, Muddy.

- Hi, Miss Candy.

- We put in new sheets for you.

- I see you ain't freezed your ass off.

- It's fine. I'm sure.

- I was just finishing.

- Hey, Mr. Rose.

- Peaches, how are you?

- Good to see you again.

- Good to see you.

- Leave it. It's good.

- You sure?

- Candy.

Mr. Rose. Welcome back.

Thank you.

Don't this place

feel just like home?

- Nicer than home.

- What you all been doin'

make it feel so nice?

- Hey, Rose.

- Rose, Rose.

Good to see you again.

How are you?

Where's Jack?

He, uh, he just wasn't up

for the trip this season.

Jack didn't know

what his business was.

- Ain't that right, Muddy?

- Mm-hmm.

Muddy, Muddy,

half these is bruised.

This one ain't got no stem.

What is this, now?

That's a spur,

ain't it?

You're in too much

of a hurry. What is wrong with you?

You shakin' the tree

to get these apples down?

You're bruisin'

all of these apples.
