Hope?
1:51:06
Chuck, when you're young, it's easy to keep
the fires of hope burning bright.
1:51:11
But at my age, you're lucky if the pilot light
doesn't go out.
1:51:19
I know, Father, 45 years
of your efforts in ashes.
1:51:24
Here, take this.
1:51:30
That'll keep the pilot light burning.
1:51:33
Yes, it ought to.
Tastes like it had kerosene in it.
1:51:36
[Chuckles]
1:51:37
- Well, did you make your parish calls?
- Yes.
1:51:40
Mrs. McGonigle's rheumatism
is kicking up again.
1:51:43
I told her to bury a potato in the backyard.
1:51:46
- That's for warts.
- That's what she said.
1:51:48
And I heard Mrs. Quimp's new gossip.
1:51:50
- What else?
- Then I went to see Carol and Mr. Haines.
1:51:55
- Did they hear from young Ted?
- Young Ted has been wounded in Africa.
1:51:59
- Too bad.
- They're shipping him home.
1:52:02
Fine, upstanding young fella.
1:52:04
- Maybe they'll decorate him.
- No, I doubt it.
1:52:08
Some friend of his ran over him in a jeep.
1:52:11
But I've got some good news.
1:52:13
- I have a letter from Miss Linden.
- That's very nice. Where is she?
1:52:18
She's in St. Louis.
1:52:20
And here it comes. I gave you that medicine
to quiet your nerves.
1:52:24
Tony and the boys are with her.
They're on a concert tour.
1:52:27
- They're on a what?
- Now I had their parents' consent...
1:52:29
- and they'll be back in time for school.
- But you...
1:52:31
Besides, travel's a great education.
1:52:34
If they make enough money,
it's gonna build you a new church.
1:52:37
Not much of one, maybe,
but something to go on with.
1:52:42
Miss Linden sent you a cheque
with her love.
1:52:50
$3,500.
1:52:53
O'MALLEY: How's the pilot light
burning now?
1:52:55
It's burning brighter, Chuck.
1:52:57
It's a long road back, but we've started.
1:52:59
You know, I've a feeling
that St. Dominic's may rise again.
