:04:13
I'm gonna leave you alone
with your thoughts now.
:04:16
And when I come back
we'll talk about...
:04:19
what we've just read.
:04:21
Silently and seriously,
:04:28
that's how I want you to think.
:04:31
Our Sunday school teacher
was an unhappy woman...
:04:33
by the name of Miss Leavey.
:04:35
Her name suited her perfectly,
as she was always leaving class.
:04:47
He's so cute.
:04:54
Simon Birch was so tiny
that we loved to pick him up.
:04:58
Hey, put me down.
:05:00
In truth, we couldn't resist
picking him up.
:05:02
We thought it was a miracle
how little he weighed.
:05:04
Cut it out,
you assholes.
:05:07
Hey, no tickling.
:05:19
I'm warning you.
:05:22
Pass him to me!
:05:24
Simon Birch?
:05:26
Down!
:05:35
I never understood
Miss Leavey's reaction.
:05:37
Did she think Simon
climbed up there on his own?
:05:40
Or that leaving us alone with our
thoughts had so empowered us that...
:05:43
Simon was levitating up
to heaven?
:05:46
But Simon was no rat.
As vividly as any story in the Bible,
:05:50
Simon showed us what
a martyr was.
:05:53
Simon Birch
was the smallest delivery...
:05:56
every recorded in the history
of Gravestown Memorial Hospital.
:05:59
Okay, Mrs. Birch...
