:12:01
Well, I have the right to a mistake or two,
haven't I, Bishop?

:12:04
And now you want to do something
I think is harder to do...

:12:07
- certainly more unorthodox.
- That's true.

:12:10
So I'm going to assign you to a parish.
:12:13
That's good work, and you're a good man.
:12:15
- Don't make the decision yet, please.
- Why not?

:12:19
Why, you'd dream the best part
of your life away, if I'd let you.

:12:22
But I'm not dreaming.
:12:24
There's one thing I know, I really know.
:12:26
And that is, that there's no such thing
in the world as a bad boy. I'm sure of that.

:12:30
Do you realize the fight
you want to take on?

:12:33
I know that a mother can take a whip
to the toughest boy in the world...

:12:36
and he forgets it,
because he knows that she loves him.

:12:40
I know the fight, and I haven't anything
to do it with, except faith.

:12:45
But...
:12:47
with your kind permission,
I would rather have it than the parish.

:12:50
I can't help you.
:12:52
We have no arrangement
for outside things like this.

:13:00
But you have my permission.
:13:02
How are you beginning?
:13:03
First, I must rent a house.
:13:06
No doubt, fumigate and launder it.
:13:09
Bishop, I shall never forget this.
:13:13
My blessing.
:13:17
Hello. I thought you got lost.
:13:20
No. I had a little chat with my bishop.
:13:23
I rented a house.
:13:24
- You're renting houses now?
- Yes.

:13:27
Of course, I have to pay something down,
so I need a little money.

:13:31
- A little money? Yeah.
- $100.

:13:35
$100?
:13:37
What security have you got?
:13:40
Well, let's see here.
:13:49
- You want $100 for this?
- Yes.

:13:54
Look...
:13:56
you can have any one of those
for 65 cents.

:13:58
And any one of them is better than yours.
