Wilma:
They figure you don't want me around. You don't want to see me, and if I go away for awhile, maybe I'll get all of this out of my mind...Do you want to get rid of me? Tell me the truth, Homer. Do you want me to forget about you?

Homer:
I want you to be free, Wilma, to live your own life. I don't want you tied down forever just because you've got a kind heart.

Wilma:
Oh, Homer! Why can't you ever understand the way things really are, the way I really feel? I keep trying to tell you.

Homer:
But, but you don't know what it would be like to live with me. Have to face this every day, every night.

Wilma:
I can only find out by trying. And if it turns out I haven't courage enough, we'll soon know it.

Homer:
Wilma, you and I have been close to each other for a long time, haven't we? Ever since we were kids.

Wilma:
Yes, Homer.

Homer:
I'm going upstairs to bed. I wantcha, I want ya to come up and see for yourself what happens.

Wilma:
All right, Homer.
