Simon: I've been thinking. Joe: Yeah? Simon: Last year we were in the squirt league, and this year we're in the pewee. Joe: So? Simon: So what do they want us to do, play baseball or urinate? Anyway, I was just thinking.

Adult Joe Wenteworth: When someone you love dies, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time, like how the mail stops coming. What I remember most to this day was my mother's scent and how I hated it when it began to disappear. First from her closets, then from her dresses she had sewn herself and then finally from her bedsheets and pillow cases. Simon and I never talked much about that day on the baseball field. It was too painful for both of us. For as much as I loved my mother, I knew that Simon loved her just as much. She was the only real mother he ever had.

Simon: What I want to do and what I do are two separate things. If we all went around doing what we wanted all the time, there'd be chaos.

Joe: [narrating] I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice, not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God. What faith I have, I owe to Simon Birch, the boy I grew up with in Gravedown, Maine.
12
Joe: I have faith. I just need proof to back it up.
13
Simon: I said, what does coffee and donuts have to do with God? Reverend Russell: They're merely refreshments so people can socialize and talk about up coming events. Simon: Who ever said church needs a continental breakfast?
14
Reverend Russell: What are you doing sitting in a corner Simon? Simon: Thinking about God. Reverend Russell: In a corner? Simon: Faith is not in a floor plan.
15

25
