:51:02
When you get to my age,
you can do that, you know. Oh, yes.
:51:07
Then, after a little more telling me
how progressive you were...
:51:11
he asked me why I'd come.
:51:13
And knowing what was on his mind
and to save him the embarrassment...
:51:16
of having to tell me...
:51:18
The Bishop.
:51:20
The Bishop wouldn't hurt anyone.
:51:23
I put him at his ease.
:51:25
"Bishop," I said...
:51:28
"the very thing that's on your mind
is on mine.
:51:30
"It's the very thing
I've come to see you about.
:51:34
"I want you to put young Father O'Malley...
:51:38
"in charge of St. Dominic's."
:51:41
The Bishop seemed much relieved.
:51:44
He congratulated me on my ability to see...
:51:47
so clearly at my age...
:51:51
on my ability to face the inevitable.
:51:57
Then what happened?
:51:59
[Sniffs]
:52:02
That was all.
:52:06
O'MALLEY: Father, why can't we go along
just as we have been?
:52:11
No. You're in charge now.
:52:15
Sit down.
:52:18
No, Father.
:52:19
Sit down. I'll familiarise you with...
:52:22
O'MALLEY: There's no hurry about it.
We can do that anytime, Father.
:52:26
Is there anything you'd like me to do.
I mean, now?
:52:30
O'MALLEY: Nothing.
:52:33
Well, then...
:52:36
if you don't mind,
I'll lie down a while before dinner.
:52:40
O'MALLEY: All right, Father.
:52:45
When you and the Bishop
had your little talk...
:52:48
it was more or less
along those lines, wasn't it?
:52:51
O'MALLEY: Yes.
