1:12:15
Can I get down now?
1:12:23
Congratulations, Simon.
1:12:25
You've just given us our first
full-contact Christmas pageant.

1:12:32
Well, do you have
anything to say?

1:12:35
- Can I have my baseball cards back?
- No you may not!

1:12:41
Oh, Simon.
1:12:44
- What happened tonight?
- I don't know.

1:12:48
Sex makes people crazy.
1:12:51
That may be, uh... That may be true.
1:12:55
But, uh, that is
no kind of answer.

1:13:00
Simon,
1:13:02
you spend more time sitting
alone in a corner downstairs...

1:13:05
than you do
with the other children.

1:13:07
You, uh, frighten them
with your stories...

1:13:11
- about being an-an instrument of God.
- They're not stories.

1:13:15
And you interrupt my sermons
and you refuse to apologize.

1:13:19
I'm out of ideas, Simon.
1:13:23
I can't speak
to your parents because,

1:13:26
well, they don't
attend church.

1:13:28
And I-I can't speak
to Rebecca because...

1:13:32
because, uh...
1:13:35
um...
1:13:38
Simon, what I'm trying
to say is that...

1:13:40
all of us around here...
1:13:43
Well, we need a break from you.
1:13:46
So, once this all simmers down,
1:13:50
and Marjorie Albright's father
accepts your apology,

1:13:53
we'll talk about
you coming back.

1:13:55
- What about the retreat?
- Joe will go alone.

1:13:58
And it's about time
I had a talk with him too.
