O'MALLEY: You wanted to see me, Father?
FITZGIBBON: Yes, so I did.
:49:21
Sit down.
:49:30
Father O'Malley, I've been to see the Bishop.
:49:35
Oh, you have?
:49:39
And I want to be frank with you.
:49:42
I must admit that my purpose
in going to see the Bishop...
:49:46
was to have you transferred.
:49:56
I'm sorry you don't like me, Father.
:49:58
I don't dislike anyone.
It's just that I disagree with you.
:50:03
What did the Bishop say?
:50:05
After a little talk, he congratulated me...
:50:07
on me 45 years at St. Dominic's.
:50:11
He has a remarkable memory.
:50:15
He said it was a monument...
:50:18
to the fact that I had built it.
:50:22
Coming from the Bishop,
that's certainly a fine compliment.
:50:25
Then I told him
I had come to talk about you.
:50:28
That seemed to disturb him.
:50:32
Then he started telling me
about what a fine young man you are.
:50:35
Capable, progressive,
how much confidence he had in you.
:50:40
He even told me that...
:50:43
he had a nice talk with you
before you reported to me.
:50:50
Of course, he didn't tell me
what you two talked about.
:50:54
He didn't have to.
:50:57
I could see it in the good man's eyes.
