If she had come to you four months ago
and asked for a simple D&C,

:23:06
what would you have done?
:23:08
Nothing!
This is what doing nothing gets you.

:23:12
It means that somebody else
is gonna do the job, some moron
who doesn't know how.

:23:20
I wish you'd have
come to me, dear child.

:23:36
What did she die of?
:23:38
She died of secrecy.
:23:40
- She died of ignorance.
- Oh.

:23:45
Homer, if you expect people to be
responsible for their children,

:23:48
you have to give them the right to
decide whether or not to have children.

:23:53
- Wouldn't you agree?
- How about expecting people
to be responsible enough...

:23:56
to control themselves
to begin with?

:23:58
How about this child?
You expect her to be responsible?

:24:01
I'm not talking about her.
:24:04
I'm talking about adults.
:24:07
You know who I mean.
:24:14
- What?
- It's just... It's just a marvel to me...

:24:17
that you still have such
high expectations of people.

:24:21
- I'm happy I amuse you.
- Look at it this way.

:24:25
What choice does Buster have?
What are his options?

:24:29
- Nobody will ever adopt him.
- Look at it this way.

:24:32
Buster and I are sitting here
right beside you. We could have
ended up in the incinerator.

:24:37
Happy to be alive under any
circumstances. Is that your point?

:24:49
Happy to be alive?
Yeah, I guess so.
