:11:00
Now l suppose you have all sorts
of rosary biz and the like.
:11:04
No, no. Loose as a goose.
Maybe you should go home and rest.
:11:09
-l can't go home.
-Why?
:11:12
-The carp.
-You know, l thought you said. . . .
:11:17
My wife's mother is visiting, Father.
:11:22
Tuesday night, she's cooking a carp.
lt's a tasty fish.
:11:26
l have nothing against it.
:11:28
But because it's supposedly filled
with impurities, she buys it live.
:11:35
And for three days it's been. . .
:11:38
. . .swimming up and down in my bathtub.
:11:42
Up. . .
:11:44
. . .and down.
:11:47
And l hate it.
l can't stand the sight of it.
:11:51
Moving its gills.
:11:53
You're standing very close to me.
Have you noticed?
:11:57
Yes. l haven't had a bath
for three days.
:12:03
l can't go home
until the carp is asleep.
:12:07
Because if l see it swimming,
l'll kill it.
:12:18
-And a salad.
-Okay.
:12:20
The whole world is
a homicide victim, Father.
:12:24
Would a God who is good
invent something like death?
:12:28
Plainly speaking, it's a lousy idea.
Not popular.
:12:32
-You're blaming God.
-Who should l blame?
:12:35
-You don't want to live forever.
-l do.
:12:38
-You'd get bored.
-l have hobbies.
:12:40
ln the meantime, we have cancer
and mongoloid babies and murderers. . .
:12:46
. . .monsters prowling the planet.
Even prowling this neighborhood.
:12:51
Right now, all our children suffer. . .
:12:55
. . .and our loved ones die.
:12:58
And your God goes waltzing
blithely through the universe. . .
