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.
:18:00
Very good, Hildie.
:18:03
Hello, everyone!
:18:07
What's wrong with you?
:18:09
- There's nothing wrong with me.
- Hi, Mom.
:18:11
- Somethin's goin' on.
- Yes, something's going on.
You look all... shiny.
:18:17
Well, I met a man
on the train.
:18:22
- The good 'ol Boston and Maine.
- You're pregnant?
:18:24
Mother, I just met him.
:18:26
The last time you met a man
on the Boston and Maine,
:18:29
- you came home pregnant.
- Mother.
:18:32
- Am I gonna have a little brother?
- Everyone, please.
:18:35
I've only spoken with him,
but I like him very much.
:18:38
- Mmm.
- Mmm.
:18:41
So, when do we get to meet
this Mr. Wonderful?
:18:49
Good Lord.
:18:53
Yolanda!
:18:55
Hey, wait up! Wait for me!
I wanna see too.
:18:59
Simon Birch, get away
from there. You'll scare him off.
