Wonderful things, these new brakes.
How are you, Father Fulton?
Well enough Monsignor.
It was all my fault.
I was in too much of a rush.
You stayed over for a good
steak dinner, didn't you?
They don't feed you well
at your place, do they.
It was a concert. I meant to leave
before the last movement started but ..
Mr Toscanini and Mr Beethoven digging
away at the discipline of a Jesuit, huh?
No. This time it was Edvard Grieg.
His piano concerto.
Was it? Well, I'm a man who
likes words with his music .. songs.
That's what makes me merry.
Excuse me while I get my paper.
Father, aren't you the
man who gave up music?
Yes, I gave up my piano. Monsignor,
I wonder. I know it is out of your way.
Not a bit. Sure, step in. Step in.
Thank you, Monsignor.
Caesar .. Caesar. Down!
Down. Nothing wrong in helping a Jesuit.
Smell this spring. You smell it?
Ah, the old bones.
Every one of them begins
remembering this time of year.
Pollen. Never could stand the stuff.
Monsignor, I'm rather late.
There should be a law
against classrooms in spring.
Oh, Father Keene!
Father Keene, I called Father
Fulton and he's not in his room.
Again?
Very well. I shall take his class.
That's the third time this month.
I shall have to speak to him about
those concerts. Excuse me, Paul.
The Jesuits embrace
certain basic disciplines.
The disciplines of mind,
body, prayer, work.
Fifteen years of study and preparation.
we are a very young society.
We are only four hundred years old.
And yet in that time, fourteen Popes
have received Jesuit training.
And we have given to the
church twenty-four Saints.
And now if .. ah ..
Good morning Father Fulton. I was just
starting to give your lecture for you.
Yes, I know.
We'll say no more about it.
For now ..
He's not a good example for the students.
As Master of Novices I feel it
my duty to warn you of that.
With your permission, Father Rector ..
I shall take it as my duty to ask Father
Fulton several, very pointed questions.
No, I think we'll leave
that to father Arnoux.
What? Why not?
Before he joined us, he was a
remarkably successful lawyer.
This is hardly a legal matter.
Nor is it legal to condemn a man
before hearing his defense.
Oh, Brother Clifford.
Yes, Father Rector.
Will you ask Father Arnoux
to stop by and see me please.
Yes Father, yes .. a telegram.
Thank you .. one moment.
As a matter of fact, Father Arnoux is
coming to see me in a few minutes.
Good.
I'm having my own difficulties with him.
Is it anything serious?
He persists in writing articles
that I do not approve of.
Nor do I like the magazines
that publish what he says.
Brother Clifford, have someone meet
Father Quarterman at the station.
Father Quarterman?
Yes, she's stopping off here
on his way to the Far East.
Father Quarterman will be an inspiration
to your novices, Father Stuart.
Good, Father Rector. I'm sure we can all
do with a little inspiration these days.
Now as regards Father Fulton ..
And Father Arnoux. Yes.
For four centuries, we have been
known as the militant Jesuits.
Don't you feel that it's rather soon for
us to begin turning our swords inwards?
I have a great deal of
faith in Father Fulton.
I'll see him in your office as soon
as you've had your talk with him.
Very well, Father Rector.
