You may have trouble
with the old man at first.
1:55:03
He may be running off to the Bishop every
few minutes, but don't let that bother you.
1:55:09
You'll bring him around
to your way of thinking.
1:55:11
[Bell ringing]
1:55:12
Well, there's dinner.
1:55:14
You know how to manage
these old fussbudgets.
1:55:18
Take him out on the golf course.
Bring him out in the fresh air.
1:55:21
- We'll get along. Just so he...
- He knows enough to come out of the rain.
1:55:26
That's it, Father. That's it exactly.
1:55:32
[Church bell chiming]
1:55:37
[Knock at door]
1:55:38
Come in, Tony.
1:55:40
- Hi, Father. So you're really leaving us?
- Yes, I've got my orders, Tony.
1:55:44
I guess when the Bishop says
you gotta go, you gotta go.
1:55:47
- That's right, Tony.
- Sometimes I think I don't like bishops.
1:55:50
Tony, bishops are like umpires.
1:55:52
You have to have them
to call the close decisions.
1:55:54
- Really?
- I got a little Christmas present here for you.
1:55:57
I want you to take my place with the choir.
1:56:00
From now on, you're in charge.
1:56:02
That's swell of you, Father.
It's a great present.
1:56:04
- I always had my eye on it.
- I thought you did.
1:56:06
When you gonna give
Father Fitzgibbon his surprise?
1:56:09
Not so loud. Later on in the church.
1:56:11
- Those boys haven't told anybody?
- Not a word. If they did, I'd kick the...
1:56:15
I mean, I'd be disappointed in them.
I guess I'll get going.
1:56:18
I know you wanted to tell me
about taking your place with the gang...
1:56:21
but I'll make it easy for you.
I'll be everything you want me to be.
1:56:24
Just as if you were here checking on me.
1:56:26
If you don't, I'm gonna drop you
like you was a hot potato.
1:56:29
- It's a deal. Good luck to you.
- Good luck to you. So long.
