Up here, Father.

I brought this priest here

to avow our sins.

I don't care.

Whore, we have sinned.

Hey, I don't care.

And I told you I don't care.

You did what you did.

If you think it's a sin, you live with it.

Now, I'm busy now.

Please, help me.

You got a problem? Stop coming here.

You think you're filthy?

You think you're a swine?

All those names you say

while we're doing it?

I'm gonna be sick.

You be sick,

you be sick somewhere else.

Well...

He's got no cause

to be coming here like that.

You don't like the guy,

what'd you go to bed with him for?

For $5.

What, do you have $5?

I'll go to bed with you, too.

What, you think that's a sin?

You think I care?

Your mumbo-jumbo. You think I...

I slept with him, yeah, and I'll sleep

with anybody that comes up with $5.

That's evil? Yeah, throw me out.

What you priests pay me to work here,

do your own goddamn washing.

And don't you talk to me about God.

Don't you tell me about sin.

Your religion's so good, your God,

get him to cure my little girl.

Cure that girl out there.

Your blessed shrine...

your Saint Anne...

your Weeping Virgin,

yeah, cure my little girl.

Get out of here. You've got your nerve.

I need a man.

I need a husband.

My little girl needs help.

I got nothing.

Are you gonna give me those things?

Are you gonna give me those things?

I wish I could.

I wish you could, too.

But you can't...

so why don't you just

get the hell out of my life!

Father, here.

- What's this for?

- It's for your beautiful project.

It's for the restoration of the shrine.

I can't thank you enough.

God bless you.

It's for a good cause.

You don't know the half of it.

- Here, have a key chain.

- Thank you.

- Actually, I got $5...

- Get out of here!

I've had enough of your bullshit

for one day.

Come on.

Son of a b*tch.

I knew it. Those convicts are here.

Here, get the scent, quick, come on.

Yeah, who is it?

- Father?

- Yeah, what is it?

I wanted to ask you...

A New Look At Revelation,

you approached 10:19...

"Love the stranger, for you yourselves

"were strangers once

in the land of Egypt. "

And you used the word, a "sacrament. "

You liked that?

Yes, I appreciated it.

And what I believed was

an echo of the Gnostic.

The ecstatic mode.

That is say, a true...

Well, that is to say...

a non-interpretive

understanding of the text.

You got it.

I did?

I mean, I thought that I did. I just...

Forgive me if I'm running on.

You know, here at the monastery...

we're enjoined to silence

for most of the year.

Yeah?

And, you know, it's such a pleasure

when the bonds are lifted...

for the feast of the shrine.

And then, this week,
