And God said,
"Let there be light,"
and there was light.
Brothers and sisters,
Iet us send our prayers to heaven.
Who will come forward and testify?
Today, on this very day,
But you know, Willie,
if you work hard,
pray hard, do your studies,
you can do really well.
You know a priest
has the respect of everyone.
You want to be a priest,
don't you, Willie?
Yeah.
For the eyes of God sees all!
Hey, who are you styling up for?
No-one, Mum.
Dad's losing all his money again.
And Mum won't be very happy
when he gets home.
Check this.
Gerry, you gambling old bugger!
You wait till I get hold of you!
No-one's coming.
Rosie, I...
What?
Well, because this is my last night,
I thought that maybe...
Well, I mean...just...
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
I just thought that...
Just wondering if you'd like to come
with me to the pictures?
What, like a date?
Well...no, no, not a date. Like,
well, we could sit together, maybe.
Willie, that's a date.
Oh. Well, yeah. OK.
Shh.
You're a deadly singer,
you know that?
You should come inside
and do a tune with the band.
I'm Lester.
Rosie.
Hi.
Er, I'm Willie.
Come on, Rosie, we've got to go.
Who is this? Your little brother?
No. No.
Ah, is he your boyfriend?
No.
Well, alright, then. I'll just be in there.
If you want me.
Why did you say we have to go?
- Because we're not allowed in there.
- Why not?
You know why not.
Alright, boys!
Come on. This is my big chance.
Well, I guess I'll see you
Iater then. At the pictures?
Willie!
Go on, Willie.
You run to your mum.
About time. Where you been?
Fishing.
Lord, we thank you
for all the gifts you give us.
Special prayers goes out to that
sinner cousin of mine, Johnny.
Please, Lord, help him
to stop drinking his life away
at that Roebuck Hotel.
May the Lord Jesus Christ
burn that house of sin down!
Sorry, Lord.
And please keep my son safe
while he is away in the city
and please help him, Lord,
not to be late
Amen.
Amen.
Hi.
Hey, Rosie, where's Willie?
I don't know.
He wanna sit with you.
Where is Willie?
I don't know. He's gone fishing.
Hey, Lester boy!
Ah, Willie.
Welcome back to the city.
Thank you, Father Benedictus.
Come in, fellow.
How were your holidays?
Did you catch any fish?
Ah, one or two.
Perhaps you're not
praying hard enough.
Now, Willie...
Yes, Father?
I have been inspecting
my inventory of supplies.
You weren't one of those boys
drinking the altar wine last year,
were you, Willie?
No, Father.
Good. Good.
Because this year you are a prefect.
And as head student
you must set an example.
Yes, Father.
Mmm. I have great faith
in you, Willie.
Yes, Father.
How is your lovely mutter?
Good, Father.
She has high hopes in you.
You can become a very
successful individual, Willie.
You too can become close to God.
I can see it!
Willie, you can go forth
and help your Aborigine people.
They are crying in the wilderness.
You have so much to give the world.
So, my little friend, if you
knuckle down to some serious study
and pray hard -
not for me but for you -
you can become like me!
Oh, ja! Ja!
Ja.
Hey, Willie!
Where'd Willie go?
Whoo-whoo!
Rosie.
Here, catch!
Well,
I've got something for you too.
What, like a present...?
Honour thy father
and thy mother
that thy days may be long
upon the lands
which the Lord giveth thee.
Thou shall not kill.
Thou shall not...adultery.
Thou shall not steal.
Thou shall not bear false witness
against thy name
or covet thy neighbour's wife
