1:05:01
The boiler's out again.
1:05:03
I'll call the plumber in the morning.
1:05:06
We've got a big enough investment
in that boiler to sell shares in it.

1:05:10
Stop making conversation, Liguori.
1:05:13
After all these years, I know when you
have something on your mind. What is it?

1:05:18
All right.
1:05:23
I knew you wouldn't expel them.
1:05:27
It's a good thing you didn't make book on it.
You might have been taken to the laundry.

1:05:32
To the cleaners, Mother.
1:05:34
It's the point, not the vernacular,
that's important.

1:05:37
I intended to expel them.
1:05:40
I was determined to expel them.
It wasn't an easy decision...

1:05:44
but I had reached it,
and they were going to go.

1:05:47
What they did could have had
very serious consequences.

1:05:51
Yes, I know.
1:05:54
We can't permit anarchy, can we?
1:05:57
We can't remain passive
in the face of utter disregard...

1:06:00
for personal safety and property,
now, can we?

1:06:03
Of course not.
1:06:07
Still, I couldn't do it.
1:06:10
I couldn't expose Mary to that man and his...
1:06:14
secretaries.
1:06:16
She's still a child...
1:06:19
and my conscience wouldn't permit it.
1:06:22
And Rachel?
1:06:23
Rachel?
1:06:25
Rachel has a home
and parents who love her.

1:06:29
She's a follower, not a leader.
She can be guided.

1:06:33
But, Mary...
1:06:36
Mary has a will of iron.
1:06:40
To bend but not to break.
1:06:42
To yield but not capitulate.
1:06:45
To have pride...
1:06:49
but also humility.
1:06:53
This has always been my struggle, Sister.
1:06:56
Can I be less tolerant of Mary
than the Church has been of me?
