Simon Birch1998

Miss Leavey:
Didn't your mother ever tell you to keep quiet during mass? What am I saying? Of course she didn't. Your parents don't go to church, do they, Simon? That's because they don't belong here, Simon. And neither do you. Speaking out of turn, disrupting the class, saying that God has a special plan for you? What kind of nonsense is that?

Rebecca Wenteworth:
[Furiously bursts into the classroom, having heard the whole thing] And what kind of nonsense is this?!

Miss Leavey:
Hello, Rebecca...

Rebecca Wenteworth:
Come on, Simon.

Miss Leavey:
No, wait, I was teaching him a lesson!

[Joe and Simon lean against the door to hear the argument between Rebecca and Leavey on the other side]

Rebecca:
What lessons? Humiliation?

Joe Wenteworth:
Oh, man! This is so boss!

Simon Birch:
This is all my fault.

Joe Wenteworth:
Don't take all the credit, she's my mom.

Miss Leavey:
...telling the other children that he's some kind of hero, that he's God's instrument!

Rebecca Wenteworth:
And who's to say he isn't?

Joe Wenteworth:
Who do you think would win in a fight?

Simon Birch:
Tough say. Miss Leavey's meaner, but she's a smoker. Your mom can outlast her.

Miss Leavey:
We can't have him talking that way. It frightens the other children.

Rebecca Wenteworth:
Oh, I think the only one who's frightened here is you, Miss Leavey.

Miss Leavey:
What? Why would I be afraid of little Simon Birch?

Rebecca Wenteworth:
Because that child has more faith than you'll ever know.
