to silence
for most of the year.
Yeah?
And, you know,
it's such a pleasure
when the bonds are lifted
for the Feast of the Shrine.
And then, this week,
to have all this company...
lt's a heady thing.
Well, and then we-we heard
your bags were stolen and, uh,
well, in-in line
with that verse,
''kindness to the stranger,''
uh, l wan...
l wanted you to have these.
Get out of here.
No.
lt's an honor.
lt's... it's an honor
meeting you.
Back at ya.
Hey, thanks.
Well...
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Here.
We got to get out of here.
Sheriffs all over the place.
l-l really wanted to ask you,
will you sign my book?
Sure, give it to me.
We all, especially, enjoyed
your section about the Shrine.
You liked that, huh?
Oh, yes, very much.
Which one am l?
l think Father Brown and l,
we have to talk.
Father? Fathers?
Will you be coming
in the Procession tomorrow?
Depends on
how things falls out.
l can't give you
a definite yes or no.
lf you'll excuse us--
we have to talk about
writing things.
Oh, of course.
What took you so long?
l got lost.
Look, that kid gave me
his beads.
Yeah, l'm very happy for you.
Hold still.
Ah, thank you.
Now, a dash across the river,
and it's Free Street, baby.
l'm with you, Neddy.
Some booze and some broads,
and this country
can kiss my ass!
We hit the border, you make the
sign of the cross over the guy.
l make the sign of the cross
over the guy.
-Afternoon, Father.
-Afternoon, Afternoon.
Open your book.
Look in your book.
Mumble something.
Here we go.
Down in your book.
What do you think happened
to Bobby?
l don't know.
We'll talk about it later.
What's the first thing
you're gonna do
-when you get free, Ned?
-Keep your mouth open, Jim,
and we'll talk about it
on the northern side.
l'm gonna do... l'm gonna do
something important.
Yeah, that's fine.
Figure you're only alive
so long,
you might as well do
something with yourself.
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Piece of cake.
Head in the book.
Read the book,
mumble, over we go.
l just wanted
to thank you.
You don't owe me anything.
lt's so rare that someone cares,
you know.
-You didn't say l was weak.
-Well, you know, that's...
And l think l'm going
to tell my wife--
just put it all at her feet.
Well, that's a great idea.
Father, would you do me
the honor of shaking my hand?
-Sure.
-Thank you.
Let Fathers Brown
and Riley through.
Thank you.
Thank you, Father.
George!
George!
Stand over here!
Not there, here!
Almost home free.
We're almost home free.
Head in the book.
Head in the book.
Good day, Fathers.
-Oh, no.
-What?
Oh, no, it's the warden.
No, no, don't run,
don't run, don't run.
lt's okay. We're okay.
lt's okay.
lt's okay.
One more minute
and over we go.
l can't go back
to the joint, Ned.
You don't have to.
Just read the book.
Fathers, l'm looking forward
to the Procession.
Oh, aren't we all?
Now, friends of mine tell me
you two are the authors
of some pretty deep books.
Well, you know,
it depends on your taste.
Well, l'd like to read
them sometime if l could.
l mean, l think of myself
as a good Catholic.
We'll send you some.
Yep. l did a little
writing myself once.
Did you, now?
That's great.
Yeah, but l didn't have
any luck selling it.
l was just wondering
if you just might have
a look at this for me...
Oh, my goodness!
Did we say our solemn prayer?
We're busy right now.
l understand.
Gentlemen, it's all right.
Let them through.
Folks, let them pass, please.
Father?
Father.
Just find them.
You instruct your men
to shoot on sight,
or at my command.
$100 on the head
of each man, dead.
Uh-huh.
-You understand that?
-Yeah.
$100.
Father? Father.
You didn't answer my question.
You didn't answer my question.
ls your shrine going
to cure my little girl?
l mean, yous told me to be true,
and l thought about it,
and l thought l would be true.
l-l'd be glad to be true.
What's in it for me?
You understand?
