Hell, Homer,
I was born for this.
1:07:04
I guess it shouldn't surprise me
that you were too.
1:07:08
Let's go watch 'em
shoot some coal.
1:07:18
Elsie, hold dinner
for a while, will you?
1:07:23
I have to make a call.
1:07:30
Homer,
1:07:34
I was in the store today,
and I heard some talk.
1:07:51
Boy, it's sure hard to keep
a secret in this town, isn't it?
1:07:54
But I guess I did
a pretty good job.
1:07:57
You know, there's a rumor going
around that I been sneaking off
to Welch to see some beau.
1:08:02
- I wish that rumor'd been true.
- Yeah.
1:08:05
They told me Hodgkin's can go into
remission, so I might have some time.
1:08:11
Is there anything I can do,
Miss Riley?
1:08:13
You can accept my apology.
1:08:17
For what?
1:08:19
My life's work is teaching.
1:08:22
And I believed that if you boys won
that science fair,
1:08:26
got scholarships, went off and did
something great with your lives,
1:08:30
somehow my life would have counted
for something.
1:08:35
Homer.
1:08:40
You know what?
1:08:43
Sometimes you really can't listen
to what anybody else says.
1:08:47
You just gotta listen inside.
1:08:51
You're not supposed to
end up in those mines.
1:08:54
You know why?
'Cause I think you made other plans.
1:08:57
I want you
to know something.
