:24:02
Say, Father, you know a youngster
around here named Tony Scaponi?
:24:06
FITZGIBBON: What about him?
O'MALLEY: This afternoon...
:24:08
Tony belongs to
a fine upstanding Catholic family.
:24:13
Eleven children. Sure, I know Tony.
As fine a lad as there is in the parish.
:24:18
Police don't think so.
:24:19
- They don't?
- No.
:24:21
If something isn't done
about Tony and his pals...
:24:23
they're gonna wind up in a reform school.
:24:25
- Who told you that?
- The police.
:24:27
You've been listening
to Patrick McCarthy, no doubt.
:24:30
Let me tell you that that man
hasn't been to Mass in the last 10 years.
:24:35
That may be, but I think
McCarthy's right about those kids.
:24:38
They're terrorising
the whole neighbourhood.
:24:42
No use talking like that.
:24:43
To hear the police talk, you'd think
that every lad in the parish was a criminal.
:24:49
I'll have you know
that the very food there before us...
:24:51
is brought to us by two of those very lads
the police are so maliciously slandering.
:24:56
Is that so?
:24:58
Tony Scaponi was one of them.
:25:01
I gave them both my blessing.
:25:03
O'MALLEY: And they gave you the bird.
FITZGIBBON: Yeah.
:25:08
[O'Malley laughs heartily]
:25:15
[Doorbell buzzing]
:25:17
I'll get it.
:25:28
O'MALLEY: Hello, McCarthy.
MCCARTHY: Good evening, Father.
:25:30
Well, I brung them.
Tony Scaponi, Herman Langerhanke.
:25:35
O'MALLEY: Hi, fellows.
I don't think you have to wait, McCarthy.
:25:40
Okay, Father.
:25:45
O'MALLEY: Say, I understand that
you fellows like baseball pretty well.
:25:49
TONY: Yeah.
O'MALLEY: I was thinking, Saturday...
:25:52
the Yanks are playing the St. Louis Browns,
a doubleheader.
:25:55
Would you like to go out
and see the games with me?
:25:59
St. Louis is my old hometown, you know.
I'll get all the passes I want.
