:11:00
- Thank you, Your Honor.
- And good luck to you.

:11:02
Thank you. Come on, boys.
:11:05
You're one of the finest fellows in town.
:11:08
Why in the name of all that's holy
don't you want to meet nice people?

:11:11
- Well, Dave, I know you.
- You...

:11:13
- Father, do you want this?
- What is it, son?

:11:16
It's a puzzle. You have to jiggle it around
till you get the eyes in the sockets.

:11:19
Isn't that wonderful.
:11:21
Thank you very much, Skinny.
I'll have a lot of fun with this.

:11:24
Dave. Come on, boys.
:11:26
Could you take the boys to your place
and keep them there a little while?

:11:29
Sure. What?
:11:31
I've got an important call to make.
:11:32
All right, gentlemen, get in.
:11:33
Oh, boy. A car ride.
:11:36
Tommy, you better sit up here
in the front seat.

:11:42
On second thought, you better all sit up
in the front seat. I feel safer.

:11:46
Hold on, boys. Be careful.
:11:48
- Dave, I'll see you a little later.
- Could you make it a little sooner?

:11:51
Do you want me to drive, Mr. Morris?
:11:56
I gave you permission three years ago
for your refuge.

:11:59
You thought you could do a lot of good.
:12:01
Well, I have the right to a mistake or two,
haven't I, Bishop?

:12:04
And now you want to do something
I think is harder to do...

:12:07
- certainly more unorthodox.
- That's true.

:12:10
So I'm going to assign you to a parish.
:12:13
That's good work, and you're a good man.
:12:15
- Don't make the decision yet, please.
- Why not?

:12:19
Why, you'd dream the best part
of your life away, if I'd let you.

:12:22
But I'm not dreaming.
:12:24
There's one thing I know, I really know.
:12:26
And that is, that there's no such thing
in the world as a bad boy. I'm sure of that.

:12:30
Do you realize the fight
you want to take on?

:12:33
I know that a mother can take a whip
to the toughest boy in the world...

:12:36
and he forgets it,
because he knows that she loves him.

:12:40
I know the fight, and I haven't anything
to do it with, except faith.

:12:45
But...
:12:47
with your kind permission,
I would rather have it than the parish.

:12:50
I can't help you.
:12:52
We have no arrangement
for outside things like this.
