The Cider House Rules Page #4
LARCH (V.O.)
God forgive me. I have *made* an
orphan by loving him too much. Homer
Wells will belong to St. Cloud's,
forever.
Hold on Homer's disgusted expression as he stares at the
contents of the pail.
END TITLE SEQUENCE. FADE OUT. We hear a song playing on an
old phonograph.
INT. DISPENSARY - DAY
We see the song playing on the old phonograph. Dr. Larch is
taking ether. He holds the bottle in one hand, the cone over
his mouth and nose with the other.
SUPER:
ST. CLOUD'S, MAINE, MARCH 1943.When Larch dozes off, his hand loosens its grip on the cone;
the cone falls off his face, and he wakes up. Then he puts
the cone back in place, dripping more ether from the bottle
to the gauze covering the cone.
Pan the dispensary, which also serves as Larch's photo gallery
and bedroom apartment. The ether-bed is separated from the
room by a hospital curtain (the kind on casters). We see the
recording revolving, the glass-encased cabinets of medical
supplies, the old photographs of St. Cloud's.
Homer enters, he stands uncomfortably, watching Larch for a
moment. Then he turns around and walks back into the corridor.
INT. CORRIDOR - DAY
Homer calls out as though he's just coming down the corridor.
HOMER:
Dr. Larch! Dr. Larch!
INT. DISPENSARY - DAY
Larch wakes up; he shakes off the ether haze. Homer reenters.
HOMER:
We've got two new patients, one to
deliver.
Dr. Larch and Homer leave together.
INT. CORRIDOR - DAY
The *two* doctors walk briskly down the hall, a couple of
professionals.
LARCH:
First pregnancy?
HOMER:
Yes, for both.
LARCH:
(sarcastically)
I presume you'd prefer handling the
delivery.
HOMER:
(tiredly; an old topic)
All I said was, I don't want to
perform abortions. I have no argument
with *you* performing them.
