The Cider House Rules1999
[Candy is sitting on a dock:
inconsolable after receiving the news about Wally]
Homer Wells:
Just tell me. I'll do whatever you wanna do.
Candy Kendall:
Nothing.
Homer Wells:
Isn't that like waiting and seeing?
Candy Kendall:
No. Nothing's nothing. I want Wally to come home. I'm afraid to see him too.
Homer Wells:
I know.
[Homer starts to put him arm around her and pull her close]
Candy Kendall:
Oh, don't do that, Homer.
[Dejected, he puts both hands in his own lap]
Candy Kendall:
I just want to sit here and do nothing.
Homer Wells:
To do nothing. It's a great idea, really. Maybe if I just wait and see long enough, then I won't have to do anything or decide anything, you know? I mean, maybe if I'm lucky enough, someone else will decide and choose and do things for me.
Candy Kendall:
What are you talking about?
Homer Wells:
But then again, maybe I won't be that lucky. And it's not my fault. It's not your fault. And that's just it. Someone's gonna get hurt, and it's no one's fault.
Candy Kendall:
I don't want to talk about this.
Homer Wells:
If we just sit here and, we wait and see a little longer, then maybe you won't to choose, and I won't have to do anything!
Candy Kendall:
What do you want from me? Wally's been shot down. He's paralyzed. What do you want me to do?
Homer Wells:
Nothing. I'm sorry. You're not the one who has to do anything.
