A Christmas Story1983

[During Ralphie's daydream where he has gone blind]

Mrs. Parker:
Why, it's Ralph!

Mr. Parker:
Well, come on in, Ralph. Where have you been?

Mrs. Parker:
Why... he's carrying a cane!

Mr. Parker:
What is it, Ralph? What happened?

Mrs. Parker:
Why, he's... blind!

Mr. Parker:
Blind? Oh, my God!

Randy:
Ralphie!

Mrs. Parker:
Ralph, is this something WE did?

Mr. Parker:
What brought you to this lowly state?

Mrs. Parker:
Ralph, please tell us, no matter how it hurts. What did we DO?

Ralphie:
Look, I can't.

Mrs. Parker:
Oh, please, Ralph.

Mr. Parker:
Please.

Mrs. Parker:
I must know what we did. What brought you to this?

Mr. Parker:
Please.

Mrs. Parker:
Please... Please?

Ralphie:
It... it was...

Mrs. Parker:
Yes? ...Yes?

Ralphie:
Soap... poisoning!

[Mr. & Mrs. Parker begin wailing]

Mr. Parker:
How could we do it?

Ralphie:
Well, I'll manage to get along... somehow.

Mrs. Parker:
I'll never forgive myself.

Ralphie:
Thanks, Mom.

Mr. Parker:
I told you not to use Lifebuoy! Oh, I feel awful!
