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.

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.
