[The Scene cuts To Ralphie And Randy Sleeping, And It Zooms Into Ralphie's Head]
Ralphie as an Adult: [Narrating] Three blocks away, Schwartz was getting his. There has never been a kid who didn't believe vaguely but insistently, that he would be stricken blind before he reached 21, And then they'd be sorry. [When Ralphie's daydream begins, it starts where he has gone blind wearing an overcoat, sunglasses, and a derby holding a cane]
Mother: Why, it's Ralph!
The Old Man: Well, come on in, Ralph. Where have you been?
Mother: Why... he's carrying a cane!
The Old Man: What is it, Ralph? What happened?
Mother: Why, he's... BLIND?!
The Old Man: Blind? Oh, my God!
Randy: Ralphie!
Mother: Ralph, is this something WE did?
The Old Man: What brought you to this lowly state?
Mother: Ralph, please tell us, no matter how it hurts. What did we DO?
Ralphie: Look, I can't.
Mother: Oh, please, Ralph.
The Old Man: Please.
Mother: I must know what we did. What brought you to this?
The Old Man: Please.
Mother: Please... Please?
Ralphie: It... it was...
Mother: Yes? ...Yes?
Ralphie: Soap... poisoning!
[The Old Man and Mother begin wailing]
The Old Man: That's terrible. How could we do it?
Ralphie: Well, I'll manage to get along... somehow.
Mother: I'll never forgive myself.
Ralphie: Thanks, Mom.
The Old Man: I told you not to use Lifebuoy! Oh, I feel awful! [They both continue crying as Ralphie, breaking the fourth wall, smiles at the camera]
