...looking down, passing the cathedral.

- That gave you the idea, huh?

That's funny, I got an idea on the top

of a bus once. Got me six years.

I was around while you were

singing with the kids...

...and I kept thinking of you and me

- With Father Boyle.

- Yeah.

Remember slipping "Merry Oldsmobile"

into the hymnbook?

- How could I forget it?

- How'd it go?

Lead, kindly light

Amid the encircling gloom

Lead thou me on, for the night is dark

And I am far from...

- Did a lot of crazy things in those days.

- Certainly did. Certainly did.

Come in.

Father, you're supposed to be down at

the store. The fellas are waiting for you.

You run and tell them I'll be right over.

Tell them to get the game started.

- Okay, Father!

- All right.

What's this store racket?

Got the kids shilling for the parish?

That's not a bad idea, Rocky.

No. It's a pet scheme of mine.

- A recreation spot for the kids.

- Kind of a kindergarten place, huh?

No, it's for the big fellas too.

You'd be surprised how tremendously it's

helped to keep the kids from becoming...

Hoodlums like me?

- You've cost me a lot of prayer.

- I've been in kind of a retreat myself.

- Yes. Will you be here for some time?

- Depends. I got a little business to attend.

- I gotta find a place to live.

- Get a room here in the parish.

- Not a bad idea. No place like home.

- Yes, and it's great to have you home.

- I came back to take a look at your kisser.

- Stick around and take a lot of them.

This is Maggione's. Go in and get a

furnished room. Remember her, don't you?

Took a lot of good lead pipe

out of that cellar.

Church is just around the corner.

I can drop in to see you from time to time.

- See you at Mass Sunday?

- Sure. I'll help you with your collection.

- It's a deal.

- Fair enough.

- Mrs. Maggione at home?

- What do you want?

Looking for a room.

My mother ain't here, but the lady

in number two will show you the rooms.

Yes?

Yes?

I'm looking for a room. Mrs. Maggione's

kid told me you'd take care of that.

Yes. I'll get the key.

Third floor.

There's something about your face

that looks awfully familiar.

- You've been looking at the funny papers.

- No, really.

Listen, sister, all I'm looking for

is a room.

Here it is.

Mrs. Maggione will give it

a good cleaning.

- It's all right. I've seen worse.

- I guess you have.

- I'll take the room. What's the tariff?

- Five dollars a week.

- Sold.

- In advance.

All right.

Write me a receipt.

You can trust me.

How did you happen to come

to this house?

Looking for references, huh?

An old friend of mine sent me over here.

Jerry Connolly, the priest from the parish.

- You know him?
