Wilma tells Homer she could help him. “If you’d let me,” she says. <\/p>\n
“I’ve got to work it out myself,” replies Homer. “All I’ve wanted is for people to treat me like anybody else, instead of pitying me. I guess it’s – it’s hard for them to do that. I’ve just got to learn to get used to it and – – pay no attention.”<\/p>\n
“Couldn’t I-” begins Wilma, touching his arm.<\/p>\n
“No!” shouts Homer, pounding his arm on the workbench. “I’ve gotta do it myself!”<\/p>\n
Wilma begins to cry, and runs out of the workshop. <\/p>\n
Homer looks down at the workbench, and then at the workshop door. <\/p>\n
Wilma hurries down the Parrish driveway, then breaks into a run as she nears the front of her house. <\/p>\n
Later that night, Homer finishes brushing his teeth. He wipes his mouth with a towel. He exits the bathroom and closes the bathroom door. <\/p>\n
In the darkened upstairs hallway, Homer peers into Luella’s room. <\/p>\n
