- Homer?
- Do you think it's not obvious
to us what's happened to you?

1:16:06
You've fallen in love,
haven't you?

1:16:10
By the way, whatever you're up to can't
be too good for your heart.

1:16:14
Then again, it's the sort
of condition that could be
made worse by worrying about it,

1:16:18
so don't worry
about it.

1:16:23
- Dear Dr Larch:
1:16:26
What I'm learning here may not be
as important as what I learned from you,

1:16:29
but everything
is new to me.

1:16:32
Yesterday, I learned
how to poison mice.

1:16:35
Field mice girdle an apple tree, :
Pine mice kill the roots.

1:16:39
You use poison oats
and poison corn.

1:16:43
I know what you have to do.
You have to play God.

1:16:47
Well, killing mice is as close as I want
to come to playing God.

1:16:52
Homer, here
in St. Cloud's,

1:16:54
I have been given
the opportunity of playing God...

1:16:56
or leaving practically
everything up to chance.

1:17:00
Men and women of conscience
should seize those moments...

1:17:02
when it's possible
to play God.

1:17:05
There won't be many.
1:17:07
Do I interfere when
absolutely helpless women...

1:17:09
tell me they simply can't
have an abortion...

1:17:12
that they simply must go through with
having another and yet another orphan?

1:17:16
I do not.
I do not even recommend.

1:17:20
I just give them
what they want.

1:17:29
You are my
work of art, Homer.

1:17:32
Everything else
has been just a job.

1:17:35
I don't know if you've got
a work of art in you,

1:17:38
but I know what your job is:
You're a doctor.

1:17:41
I'm not a doctor.
1:17:44
You're going to
replace me.

1:17:46
The board of trustees
is looking for my replacement.

1:17:48
I can't replace you.
I'm sorry.

1:17:51
"Sorry"?
I'm not sorry.

1:17:54
Not for anything I've done.
1:17:57
I'm not even sorry
that I love you.
