1:54:00
It never occurred to me
that someday you might.
1:54:04
But, me boy,
what am I going to do without you?
1:54:07
- You didn't ask to?
- No. I asked to stay with you.
1:54:12
But the Bishop asked me to help him out,
and I...
1:54:15
- St. Dominic's. What's going to happen?
- Well, you'll be all right, Father.
1:54:18
I wish you could've heard some
of the things the Bishop said about you.
1:54:22
Says you're looking 10 years younger.
1:54:24
He has all the confidence
in the world in you.
1:54:26
Don't worry. You'll have a new assistant.
1:54:29
I want to wish you all the success
in the world, which I know you'll have.
1:54:33
Is it a parish of your own?
1:54:36
Not exactly, Father.
1:54:38
You see this church, St. Charles, it's...
1:54:42
Well, the pastor's getting along in years
and things aren't...
1:54:45
You mean they're in trouble.
1:54:47
Yes. And I'm supposed to go in there
and try and help...
1:54:51
You mean without the old fella knowing.
1:54:55
Well, that's a difficult assignment.
But it'll work out.
1:55:00
You may have trouble
with the old man at first.
1:55:03
He may be running off to the Bishop every
few minutes, but don't let that bother you.
1:55:09
You'll bring him around
to your way of thinking.
1:55:11
[Bell ringing]
1:55:12
Well, there's dinner.
1:55:14
You know how to manage
these old fussbudgets.
1:55:18
Take him out on the golf course.
Bring him out in the fresh air.
1:55:21
- We'll get along. Just so he...
- He knows enough to come out of the rain.
1:55:26
That's it, Father. That's it exactly.
1:55:32
[Church bell chiming]
1:55:37
[Knock at door]
1:55:38
Come in, Tony.
1:55:40
- Hi, Father. So you're really leaving us?
- Yes, I've got my orders, Tony.
1:55:44
I guess when the Bishop says
you gotta go, you gotta go.
1:55:47
- That's right, Tony.
- Sometimes I think I don't like bishops.
1:55:50
Tony, bishops are like umpires.
1:55:52
You have to have them
to call the close decisions.
1:55:54
- Really?
- I got a little Christmas present here for you.
1:55:57
I want you to take my place with the choir.
