Going My Way Page #4

- Excuse me.

FITZGIBBON:
Who is it?

MRS. CARMODY:
Mrs. Quimp.

[Mumbling]

- Does he know?

- Does he know what?

- That you're in charge.

- How'd you know?

I didn't. I gathered as much

when I heard you were here.

Everybody knows

that St. Dominic's is in a bad way.

Father Fitzgibbon

is getting to be an old man.

- This needs a young fellow...

- Timmy, look.

- Don't mention it to anybody.

- No.

When I had my talk with the Bishop,

it was our understanding...

that Father Fitzgibbon

was to remain here as pastor...

and I was to try and straighten out

St. Dominic's without hurting his feelings.

I see. You're in charge, but you're not.

I don't think I'd like an assignment like that.

But the Bishop couldn't very well

put him out to pasture, could he?

"Pasture"?

What's this I hear about a pasture?

I was just saying to him, Father...

the next time I come past your church

I'm going to drop in and see you.

Good day, Father. So long, Chuck.

[O'Malley clears throat]

I was going to ask you something.

Oh, yes, the telephone.

Mrs. Quimp just telephoned.

Her landlord is throwing her out again.

She wants somebody to go and see her.

You better go.

I'll go right along, Father.

Would you mind the puppies?

Thank you.

I'll bet you're the new assistant...

the one who's going to get St. Dominic's

out of all its trouble.

And I'll bet you're all the trouble.

I'll wager you're the man with the mortgage.

- You've heard about the mortgage?

- All churches have mortgages.

It isn't respectable

for a church not to have one.

- My name's O'Malley.

- Mine's Haines.

Nice meeting you. We may have to

touch you for a little more a little later on.

We're gonna need

a new paint job here soon.

I must run along. You look like a man

it'll be a pleasure to do business with.

Yes.

HATTIE:
Get out! You're not putting me out!

I'll pay you me rent when I get it!

HATTIE:
Good morning, Father.

O'MALLEY:
Good morning.

Hello, Father.

Mrs. Quimp and I were just discussing you.

- You were?

- As you know, I represent...

the Knickerbocker Savings

and Loan Company.

Inasmuch as Mrs. Quimp

declines to pay her rent...

the Knickerbocker Savings

and Loan Company...

- refuses to offer her any further hospitality.

- Is she very far in arrears?

TED:
Mrs. Quimp has paid us nothing

for six months.

O'MALLEY:
It's certainly very nice of you

to show her leniency.

Supposing the poor old woman

has no place to go?

The Knickerbocker Savings and Loan

Company is not a charitable institution...

like St. Dominic's.

With us, it's just a matter

of cold-blooded business.

With you it's different. You haven't got

anything and you don't want anything.
