Oh.
:31:07
Mother Superior tells me
she believes God sent you to her.

:31:11
No. I don't think he sent
a black Baptist to a Catholic nun!

:31:15
That's what she tells me.
:31:18
She also says
you're gonna build her a chapel.

:31:22
She asked me.
:31:24
But you know how it is.
I got other fish to fry.

:31:28
She believes there was a need
and she put her trust in prayer.

:31:31
When I was ordained, how I prayed.
:31:33
How I prayed for a call to a great majestic
cathedral in some wealthy diocese.

:31:39
I sent the message up in English,
in Latin, and he answered.

:31:44
He answered.
:31:46
I baptise them,
christen them, confirm them,

:31:50
hear their confessions, give absolution,
last rites, bless their remains,

:31:54
fill the tank, check the oil and water,
take off again and pray.

:31:57
Pray that I don't blow out
one of those old tyres.

:32:01
- You staying with the sisters?
- I'm just passing through.

:32:04
Well, I think that's for the best.
:32:54
- Sing another.
- Was sollen wir singen?

:32:58
"Ave Maris Stella".
