The Cider House Rules Page #2
EXT. ORPHANAGE - DAY
Angela and Edna call and wave good-bye to a two-year-old
Homer, leaving with COUPLE #2. Larch stands on the porch and
watches the family head down the hill.
LARCH (V.O.)
The second family has an unfortunate
gift for getting sounds out of Homer.
Larch bursts into the home of the second couple and lifts a
crying and bruised Homer out of his bed. There is rage in
Larch's eyes as he looks at the couple.
LARCH (V.O.)
The rumor was true. They beat him.
He couldn't stop crying.
EXT. HILL, ST. CLOUD'S - DAY
Larch carries Homer up the orphanage hill.
LARCH (V.O.)
Here is St. Cloud's, I try to
consider, with each rule I make or
break, that my first priority is an
orphan's future.
The naked belly of a VERY PREGNANT WOMAN.
LARCH (V.O.)
Easier said than done.
A tiny hand comes in with a stethoscope and puts it on the
big belly. Young Homer's head, with the stethoscope around
his neck, pops up behind the belly; he closes his eyes as he
concentrates on listening to the sounds of the unborn child.
Larch stops in the doorway, catching sight of Homer. He smiles
faintly.
The door opens to a THIRD COUPLE smiling at us, welcoming
and embracing a sixteen-year-old Homer. Behind them waits
the would-be STEPSISTER--an attractive girl, a little older
then Homer.
LARCH (V.O.)
I told the third family to take good
care--this was a special boy.
INT. STEPSISTER'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Homer and the stepsister are in bed together. The parents
burst in on them--the father chasing Homer around and around
the bed, the mother beating her daughter, who covers herself
with a pillow.
LARCH (V.O.)
It was Homer who took too much good
care of himself.
