Loose Teeth and Game Disappointments
Derek Thompson Oh great...
[driving in his car when he sees Carly and her kids; gets out the car to see them]
Carly Hey honey, how was your game?
Derek Thompson Not good.
Tess Derek, guess what? I have another loose tooth.
Derek Thompson Good for you, honey.
Carly What's the matter, hon?
Derek Thompson Everything. Nothing, you know. Forget it.
Randy Can we go practice now?
Derek Thompson You know what, can we skip today's session. I just don't have it in me.
Randy But the Talent Show's tomorrow night.
Derek Thompson You will be fine.
Randy I need at least one more run through it.
Derek Thompson No, you don't, okay.
Randy No, I do need it. I just need a little more practice. Just so I can get down.
Derek Thompson Hey, hey, hey! It doesn't matter what you do in the Talent Show. You're never gonna be a famous rock star. You're just gonna be another kid with a guitar. So do yourself a favor and just give it up, okay?
[snaps; Randy stares, feeling hurt]
Carly Derek, (please...)
Derek Thompson Look, baby. I am sorry but it's for his own good. Trust me.
[with his dreams crushed, Randy tearfully smashes his guitar on the ground like a blue shell from Mario Kart. Carly gasps, Tess looks on in shock, while Randy gives one last tearful look at Derek, who looks guilty, before picking up his broken guitar and heading to the car]
Randy Come on, Tess! (Tess, let's go!)
[sobbing]
Carly What is wrong with you?!
[moans in disappointment over Derek's actions]
Derek Thompson (Look.) I had a bad day.
Carly You had a bad day?!
Derek Thompson Yeah, I had a bad day, okay.
Carly No, no. That is not okay! You are never gonna speak to my children again! We are done.
[Carly starts heading back to her car]
Derek Thompson Carly.
Carly You know what your problem is, Derek? You can't say what if. And you never will.
[sadly; Carly drives off, leaving Derek feeling awful about what he just did]
Challenge of Belonging in Faith and Community
Miss Leavey Didn't your mother ever tell you to keep quiet during mass? What am I saying? Of course she didn't. Your parents don't go to church, do they, Simon? That's because they don't belong here, Simon. And neither do you. Speaking out of turn, disrupting the class, saying that God has a special plan for you? What kind of nonsense is that?
Rebecca Wenteworth And what kind of nonsense is this?!
[Furiously bursts into the classroom, having heard the whole thing]
Miss Leavey Hello, Rebecca...
Rebecca Wenteworth Come on, Simon.
Miss Leavey No, wait, I was teaching him a lesson!
Rebecca What lessons? Humiliation?
Joe Wenteworth Oh, man! This is so boss!
Simon Birch This is all my fault.
Joe Wenteworth Don't take all the credit, she's my mom.
Miss Leavey ...telling the other children that he's some kind of hero, that he's God's instrument!
Rebecca Wenteworth And who's to say he isn't?
Joe Wenteworth Who do you think would win in a fight?
Simon Birch Tough say. Miss Leavey's meaner, but she's a smoker. Your mom can outlast her.
Miss Leavey We can't have him talking that way. It frightens the other children.
Rebecca Wenteworth Oh, I think the only one who's frightened here is you, Miss Leavey.
Miss Leavey What? Why would I be afraid of little Simon Birch?
Rebecca Wenteworth Because that child has more faith than you'll ever know.

Libby Parsons I don't want to kill you, Nick. I just want you to suffer.
Tension and Humor in Unexpected Situations
Joe Wenteworth Okay, you grabbed her boobs, and you pulled her into the manger. Big deal. It could've happened to anybody. Well, maybe not anybody.
Joe Wenteworth Jesus, Simon, you look like shit.
[At Simon's bed in the hospital]
Rebecca Wenteworth Do your thing, Simon! Show em how it's done!
Miss Leavey Help. Please. I'm gonna strangle him. I swear to God I'm gonna strangle that little granite mouse if it's the last thing I do.
