1:10:00
My neck was black and blue
from where his thumbs had been.
1:10:03
Did you report
this deplorable incident to anyone?
1:10:05
Yes, l phoned the police.
They will confirm every word.
1:10:08
Sister Theresa decided, out of the charity
of her heart, not to press charges.
1:10:12
No further questions, my lord.
1:10:17
Have l messed it up for us all, then?
1:10:19
You may have.
1:10:21
We're just gonna have to show
that this was an isolated incident...
1:10:24
not part of a pattern of behavior.
1:10:26
-l hope that was the only such incident?
-Of course it was.
1:10:30
Apart from the time you tried to punch
Father O'Malley at Fergal's.
1:10:33
That.
1:10:34
-And when you tried to kidnap your kids.
-Yes, but l was drunk on both occasions.
1:10:38
For God's sake, don't try to use
drunkenness as a defense.
1:10:42
lt doesn't impress them.
1:10:43
Haven't you heard the phrase,
''As sober as a judge''?
1:10:51
So, you see, Your Lordship...
1:10:53
l only shook Sister Brigid when
l found out she'd beaten up my little girl.
1:10:58
-l object, Your Lordship.
-Not as much as l object.
1:11:00
l object to anyone laying a finger
on my kids.
1:11:03
Objection upheld.
1:11:05
That's Mr. Wolfe's objection,
not yours, Mr. Doyle.
1:11:08
Continue with your testimony.
1:11:10
Wouldn't any father have done what l did?
1:11:13
Evelyn's face was all battered and bruised.
1:11:17
Silence in court.
1:11:21
Even as a very dubious kind of Catholic...
1:11:24
who finds himself throttling a nun...
1:11:27
you must know that the fundamental
building block of our society...
1:11:31
is the family...
1:11:32
whose very model is the Holy family...
1:11:35
Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
1:11:38
How can you, as a single father
and as a Catholic...
1:11:41
possibly claim to bring up your children
without a mother?
1:11:45
There is absolutely no precedent for it...
1:11:47
in the religion
in which you allegedly believe.
