Calvary Page #3
Whitewashed walls without adornment, save for a crucifix.
Cupboard. Writing desk with a large white seashell. Two
chairs, one at the desk, one beside the bed.
He tosses Moby Dick onto the bed. Bruno yawns. He sits on
the chair beside the bed. Thinks.
Removes one of his black leather Oxfords. Then the other.
Pauses, the second shoe still in his hand. Thinking.
Puts down the shoe beside its comrade. Gets up and goes to
the desk. Takes off his clerical collar. Pauses.
He looks out the window over the writing desk.

TITLE -- “Monday”.
The cathedral is an imposing structure. A handsome modern
edifice, with a massive tower.
15
BISHOP GARRET MONTGOMERY is eating a large cream scone the
size of a baby’s head. A silver tea-set in front of him.
His office opulently furnished and decorated.
MONTGOMERY:
So do you know who it was?
REVERSE SHOT -- LAVELLE seated opposite. Bereft of tea.
LAVELLE:
Yes, Your Excellency.
I know who it was.
MONTGOMERY:
Do you know him well?

15 CONTINUED:
15LAVELLE:
Well enough.
MONTGOMERY:
Knowing this man as you do, do you
think it was an idle threat?
LAVELLE:
I don’t know. I’m not sure.
MONTGOMERY:
“Not sure” means it’s possible.
LAVELLE:
Yes. I suppose.
MONTGOMERY puts down the scone. Licks his fingers.
MONTGOMERY:
You didn’t grant him absolution,
obviously.
LAVELLE:
He didn’t ask for it.
MONTGOMERY:
Well there you have it. The man is
not penitent. There is no contrition.
He’s threatening to commit a crime,
not asking for forgiveness for one.
The inviolability of the sacramental
seal does not apply.
LAVELLE:
You’re saying I should go to the
police?
MONTGOMERY:
I’m not saying anything. The choice
is yours.

EXT. SLIGO TRAIN STATION (PLATFORM) - DAY 16
A train exits the station to reveal FIONA LAVELLE. Thirty,
attractive, her wrists bandaged. A suitcase at her feet.
[Note:
she has an English accent.]LAVELLE appears.
LAVELLE:
Don’t tell me. You made the classic
error.
FIONA:
You’re supposed to cut down, not
across.
(CONTINUED)

16 CONTINUED:
16LAVELLE:
(after a pause)
I don’t know what else to say.
They look blankly at one another. LAVELLE opens his arms.
FIONA stands up. They embrace.

EXT. SLIGO TRAIN STATION - DAY 17
CLOSE on a little red convertible sports car. Bruno in the
passenger seat. He barks.
REVERSE SHOT -- FIONA and LAVELLE looking at the car.
LAVELLE:
Always wanted a fast car. A red one.
FIONA:
I thought you’d already had your
mid-life crisis.
LAVELLE shoots her a glance.
