:16:01
- Girls don't kiss baby turtles.
- How do you know?
:16:04
I just know.
If you were me,
:16:08
you'd know too.
:16:32
But things
will be different...
:16:34
once God makes me
a hero.
:16:36
You know, you shouldn't talk
about this hero stuff, Simon.
:16:39
- Why not?
- Because it's weird.
:16:42
- The other kids tease you
enough as it is.
- I don't care. It's the truth.
:16:45
But you don't have
any proof.
:16:48
I don't need proof.
I have faith.
:16:52
Your problem is that
you have no faith.
:16:57
I got faith.
I just want proof to back it up.

We lived
in my grandmother's house,
a monster of a place.
:17:07
- It was frequently mistaken
for the Gravestown Inn.
- Shoo! Shoo!
:17:09
- It's not an inn.
- The fact that never ceased...
:17:11
to irritate my grandmother.
:17:13
But then again, most everything
irritated my grandmother.
:17:18
- Hi, Grandmother.
- Slow down.
:17:20
Particularly Simon Birch.
:17:22
- Hi, ladies!
- That creature.
:17:26
But that's not to say
that she didn't have her kind side.
:17:29
In fact, when our maid Hildie got cancer
and had to have her leg removed,
:17:33
Grandmother hired
two more maids,
:17:35
one just to look
after Hildie.
:17:37
Hildie never worked
another day in her life.
:17:40
And as the years went on, she even
began to look like my grandmother...
:17:43
- and not like a maid at all.
- That child is positively...
:17:48
- unnatural.
- Most peculiar.
:17:50
- And his voice like...
- A mouse.
:17:53
More than one.
Like mice.
:17:56
- Strangled mice.
- Strangled mice.
