(lrish accent) Pat says to Mike
"Why are you diggin' a hole?"
1:11:11

Speaking seriously, I remember that day,
and it was not so long ago,
1:11:24
when the creditors were banging
at the doors of this archdiocese,
1:11:28
when, as the saying goes,
we didn't have a pot to... spit in...
1:11:33
(laughter)
1:11:34
...when we had buildings to build,
churches, schools, convents, hospitals,
1:11:39
and not a copper penny
to build them with.
1:11:41
That was when His Eminence asked our
designee as Catholic Layman of the Year
1:11:47

I think all of you know what he said.
1:11:51
"Yes" said Jack Amsterdam.
1:12:11
And if I might add a personal note...
1:12:13
Brenda was right.
1:12:15
Amsterdam was in St John's Hospital
the night Fazenda was killed.
1:12:18
(Des)... has promised to do,
and that's beat me in golf.
1:12:21

1:12:24
Gentlemen, the Catholic Layman
of the Year, Jack Amsterdam.

How's your drink? Scotch?
