pop back in, no big deal.
God bless you.
l can't, Father,
l can't help myself.
You have to help me.
Now, look,
l did what l could.
You know, there's a time
when a man's got to stand up,
take a stand.
Why don't you take
a few days off,
go in the woods, something,
make your peace with God.
No, no, l can't leave town
until we catch those convicts.
l'm stuck here in town.
l'm in a state
of constant temptation.
Please, l can't control myself.
l need your help,
Father.
You're a good man.
You're a pious man.
Help me.
How can l help you?
Come with me.
Come with me.
Talk to her,
talk to us together.
Now, look, look, buddy...
l've dragged her in sin, Father.
Well, l'm sure...
Father, please,
l'm begging you!
-Please, help me!
-Get up, get up.
Please, Father, please.
l need your help.
All right, all right, all right,
all right, okay, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Thank you, Father.
Get in there.
Back, come on.
Come on, come on.
Take it out.
Take it out.
And l prayed.
l prayed to the Blessed Virgin,
and l prayed to Saint Anne,
and l asked,
l asked myself, ''Why,
why am l so weak?
Why am l branded?''
And l said, ''Lord, Lord,
l am a fornicator.
''What am l doing to myself
and to my wife?
l am a fornicator.''
Shh.
She can't hear-- the poor
child's deaf and dumb.
Up here, Father.
l brought this priest here
to avow our sins.
l don't care.
Whore, we have sinned.
Hey, l don't care.
And l told you l don't care.
You did what you did.
lf you think it's a sin,
you live with it.
Now, l'm busy now.
Please, help me.
Please, help me.
You got a problem?
Stop coming here.
You think you're filthy?
You think you're a swine?
All those names you say
while we're doing it?
l'm going to be sick.
You be sick--
you be sick somewhere else.
Well...
He's got no cause to be
coming here like that.
Yeah, well,
you don't like the guy,
why'd you go to bed
with him for?
For five dollars.
What, do you have five dollars?
l'll go to bed with you, too.
What, you think that's a sin?
You think l care?
Your mumbo jumbo.
You think l...
l slept with him, yeah,
and l'll sleep
with anybody
comes up with five bucks.
That thievery?
Yeah, throw me out.
What you priests
pay me to work here,
do your own goddamn washing.
And don't you
talk to me about God.
Don't you tell me about sin.
Your religion's so good,
your God,
get him to cure my little girl.
Hey, cure that girl out
there, your Blessed Shrine.
Your Saint Annie,
your Weeping Virgin, yeah,
cure my little girl.
Get out of here.
You've got your nerve.
l need a man.
l need a husband.
My little girl needs help.
l got nothing.
Are you gonna give me
those things?
Are you gonna
give me those things?
l wish l could.
l wish you could, too.
But you can't,
so why don't you just get
the hell out of my life!
Father, here.
What's this for?
lt's for your
beautiful project.
lt's for the restoration
of the Shrine.
Oh. l can't thank you enough.
God bless you.
lt's for a good cause.
You don't know the half of it.
Here.
Have a key chain.
Thank you.
Uh, actually,
l got five dollars.
Get out of here!
l had enough of your bullshit
for one day.
Come on.
Son of a bitch.
l knew it,
those convicts are here.
Here, get the scent,
quick, come on, come on.
Yeah, who is it?
Father?
Yeah, what is it?
Uh, l wanted to ask you...
A New Look at Revelations,
you-you approached 10:19,
''Love the Stranger,
for you yourselves
were strangers once
in the land of Egypt.''
And-and you used the word,
a ''sacrament.''
You liked that, huh?
Well, yes, yes.
l appreciated it.
And-and what l believed was
an echo of the Gnostic.
The-the ecstatic mold.
Well, that is
to say a true...
Well, that is to say, uh,
a noninterpretive
understanding of the text.
You got it.
l did?
l thought... l mean, l thought
that l did. l just...
Forgive me if l'm running on.
You know, here at the
monastery, we're-we're
