over in Manhattan, very sick.
He's been taken to a hospital.

1:27:04
See that Neeley gets to school on
time in the morning.

1:27:06
There's an apple for your lunches.
1:27:07
The report says that he just
collapsed,

1:27:10
right in the doorway of
an employment agency.

1:27:12
And he'd just been going out on a
job, as sand hog in a tunnel, they said.

1:27:16
And he hadn't been drinking, ma'am.
1:27:18
He'd been waiting there a long time
for the job.

1:27:21
He was just sick.
1:27:30
We did everything we could.
1:27:31
Yeah, sure, l know.
1:27:34
What are you writing down that he
died from, Doctor?

1:27:36
Acute alcoholism and pneumonia.
One led to the other.

1:27:40
l don't want you to write down that
he died like that.

1:27:45
Put just the pneumonia.
1:27:46
l can't do that.
1:27:47
Pneumonia was the direct cause of
death, but the alcoholism was...

1:27:50
Look, he's dead.
1:27:51
l've got two nice kids that are going
to grow up to amount to something.

1:27:53
Why do you have to make it hard by
saying that their father

1:27:56
died from the drink when thas
only a little piece of the truth?

1:28:00
He wasn't drinking, they said so.
He was out looking for work.

1:28:06
Why can't you put that down?
1:28:10
Cause of death: pneumonia.
1:28:18
Everlasting rest and happiness,
1:28:20
through the infinite merits
of Jesus Christ.

1:28:23
Oh, God,
1:28:24
great and omnipotent judge of the
living and the dead,

1:28:27
if all whom we are to appear
after this short life,

1:28:31
to render an account of our worth,
1:28:33
let our hearts we pray to be deeply
wounded at the sight of this death,

1:28:37
and while we consign the body of the
deceased to the earth,

1:28:40
let us be mindful of our own frailties
and mortality,

1:28:44
that walking always in thy fear and
in the ways of thy commandments,

1:28:48
we may after our departure from this world,
experience

1:28:52
a merciful judgement and rejoice
in everlasting happiness.

1:28:56
Through Christ our lord.
1:28:58
All them people, and the flowers.
