Quote context

[...]

- But I don't want to go. I want to stay here.

- You see, the reason they want me to go is so that I'll forget about you. They figure you don't want me around, you don't wanna see me and if I go away for a while, maybe I'll get all this out of my mind.

- Maybe that's a good idea, Wilma. Maybe you ought to do that.

- Do you wanna get rid of me? Tell me the truth, Homer. Do you want me to forget about you?

- 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.

- Oh, Homer, why can't you ever understand the way things really are, the way I really feel? I keep trying to tell you.

- But you don't know, Wilma. You don't know what it'd be like to have to live with me, to have to face this every day, every night.

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

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

- Yes, Homer.

- I'm going upstairs to bed. I want you to come up and see for yourself what happens.

- All right, Homer.
