1:16:02
Rather a nice-looking piano you have here.
1:16:04
Well, she needs one, doesn't she?
1:16:07
- She's got to practice. She's a singer.
- It was very thoughtful.
1:16:10
Of course, pianos are a little expensive
these days.
1:16:14
I asked her first
if she couldn't play a ukulele.
1:16:17
- Well, then naturally...
- Yeah, naturally.
1:16:21
Carol tells me you can play, Father.
1:16:23
How about trying it out
to see if I got a good buy?
1:16:25
Yes, play something for us, Father.
1:16:31
[Playing soft music]
1:16:39
Would you mind us asking you
a few questions, Father?
1:16:41
- No.
- Where'd you get that wicked left hand?
1:16:44
Well, I've always been interested in music.
1:16:47
Used to write a bit of it at school.
I had a little band.
1:16:50
We used to play for the school dances.
1:16:53
O'Malley's Orioles.
1:16:55
[Playing upbeat music]
1:16:57
You know, at one time
I had quite a decision to make:
1:17:00
Whether to write the nation's songs
or go my way.
1:17:06
- Any regrets, Father?
- Regrets? No.
1:17:09
I get a great happiness
out of helping people realise that...
1:17:12
religion doesn't have to be this.
1:17:15
[Playing sombre music]
1:17:16
Taking all the fun out of everything.
1:17:19
It can be bright.
1:17:21
Bring you closer to happiness.
Do you go to church, Ted?
1:17:26
Or would you rather I change the subject?
1:17:30
If I could just express musically
what I have in my mind...
1:17:33
it would be much more eloquent.
1:17:36
It would sound simpler,
and you'd remember it.
1:17:40
Sometimes the spoken word
can be pretty dull.
1:17:44
You mean, sing your sermons, Father?
1:17:47
Yeah, sort of.
1:17:48
CAROL: Have you
had anything published?
1:17:50
No.
1:17:52
Will you play us
one of your unpublished ones?
