doesn't fancy his stay in Africa...
I could take his place.
The sisters here will tell ya I've been
looking for a beautiful black man.
Come on, Jack. Bed.
A wee rest.
I have to laugh at you,
Christina Mundy.
Whenever you say you've to laugh at me,
I know you're not laughing.
And I've to say I have
to laugh at you, Rose Mundy.
A brother home
from the foreign missions.
A priest,
confronted by one sister...
who's given birth
to an illegitimate child.
And Rose...
talkin' about men
separated from their wives.
I was talkin' about Danny Bradley.
He loves me, Kate!
Love?
Gander! Gander!
That's what you're called
in your classroom.
You're not even a woman.
You're called a gander.
I am woman enough
to know what modesty is.
A woman's modesty is everything.
Thank you, Okawa.
Who is Okawa?
You are.
She's right, you know. Kate's right.
I brought shame on this family.
- Deep shame.
- You brought Michael to this family.
And he is not shame.
You know that, as does Kate.
What's wrong with Jack?
- His nerves.
- Oh, aye, nerves.
We were so proud of him.
To have a priest in the family was
a great honor. Poor Jack. God help him.
Maybe Michael will become a priest.
Maybe.
You could love Uganda, Maggie.
As I lie myself down to sleep...
I pray to God my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake...
I pray to God my soul to take.
I think I've come home to die.
Jesus, don't.
We can't afford to bury ya.
I'm glad you're home.
Watch yourself.
- Go to sleep.
- Aye.
Watch yourself.
Go to sleep, Okawa.
What does Okawa mean?
Okawa is my houseboy
in Uganda.
He is Okawa.
Damn it. I thought
it was Swahili for "gorgeous. "
Am I called 'the gander"?
No, Aunt Kate.
Who calls me "'the gander"?
The big fellas do.
And you let 'em.
Why have you no friends?
You're another gander.
Aren't you, son?
I've brought you this.
I was saving it for your birth day...
but you might as well have it now.
Do you know how it goes?
Here. You pump it.
Push it down.
Push it.
That's it.
Sacred Heart of Jesus!
I don't believe it.
What's wrong?
That's him. That's Christina's man!
That's Gerry.
It's Gerry Evans!
He's not coming in this house.
When are we gonna get a decent mirror
to see ourselves in?
- You can see enough to do you.
- You're not going to meet that blaggard!
I couldn't look that man
in the face.
I hate him.
I hate him!
Look at my hands shakin'.
No, you're not...
You're not shaking.
You're perfectly calm.
You're looking beautiful.
And what you're gonna do is this:
You'll meet him outside. Tell him
that his son is healthy and happy.
- Then you'll send him packing.
- No.
He can stay the night.
