We're No Angels Page #6

We have to take him with us.

I don't get it.

He says he's gonna rat us out?

- Let him rot in there!

- I'm way ahead of you.

He says either he sees us

coming back to save him...

or he blows the whistle

before we can get across.

- He's giving us five minutes.

- How are we gonna get across?

I have no idea.

And now, as is traditional at this time

before our procession...

we will have the drawing of our lottery.

And now, I call up to stand beside me...

Father Brown.

Father Brown?

There he is.

Father Brown.

It's another Father Brown.

No, it's another Father Brown.

It's not this one.

Ned...

Father Brown.

I never won anything before.

I'm really anxious

to get back down there...

so the procession will go on.

It is with great happiness that

I present to you Father Brown...

whom, we may say,

the hand of God himself...

has chosen to deliver

this year's sermon...

on the miraculous properties

of the shrine of the Weeping Virgin.

Father Brown.

God...

"Have you ever felt completely alone?

"Alone in a world of danger,

and no one to rely on?

"Danger on every hand.

"In a world fraught with danger.

"And at the brink of death...

"I felt in my pocket...

"and what did I find?"

What did I find?

Nothing.

There's nothing there.

It's all in your head.

They can take the money from you.

They can take the position from you.

I don't know, they can whip you.

People turn their back on you.

Everything happens to everybody.

And you ain't gonna find nothing

in your pocket that can stave it off!

Nothing can stave it off!

Pain.

Affliction. We say, "power. "

Power doesn't do it.

'Cause you'll never have enough.

Money?

I don't know. You know anybody

who has enough? Still...

trouble befalls us.

Everyone has that

sadness in their heart.

Some people are meant to be hard.

I don't know. It seems like they are.

We meet them.

Is God good?

I don't know.

All I know is...

something might give you comfort.

And maybe you deserve it.

If it comforts you to believe in God...

you do it. That's your business.

People have guilty...

You know, guilty secrets.

But if that's yours...

that you want to go

believe in something...

well, that's not so bad.

All right. I don't want your money.

Just take the kid on the procession

and pray for her.

And just you be careful

and hold her hand.

What's this?

This is our ticket across the bridge.

We got to get out of here.

We got 10 seconds.

Don't move.

If there's any trouble,

I'm coming out shooting.

If there's any trouble, it's too late.

Trust me, you'll be the first to go.

What's he doing here?

How'd Bob get here?

I'll tell you later.

Come on, let's get out of here.

They take the Madonna

that belongs jointly to us...

and the sister parish

across the river in Canada...

and the priests,

they just walk it over there and...

He's gone!

Tell those men to go down to the river.

Come on, let's go!

Warden, I'm so sorry.

For all those who labour

and are heavily laden.

My God.

Nobody move!

Hey! Come back here!

Any trouble?

Not the girl, Bob, not the girl.

Shut up!

Molly!

- No.

- Molly.

Get her!

No! Rosie.

Damn, just let me go!

So long.

No!

Rosie!

Help me! Please!

Fred, help them out.

That's okay. I'm gonna get back across.

Back across with the shrine.

Have to get...

Father, thank you.

You saved my little girl.

- Thank you so much.

- Don't thank me, thank God.

She's talking.

Oh, my God, she's talking.

My baby's talking.

He...

convict.

You've got to keep my secret. Please.

I cannot.

Please. Do good works

count for nothing?

Come on, please, don't betray me.

He's a convict.

- Is this true?

- Yes.

You're a convert?

Yes, we were both born... Lutheran.

God forgives you.

George!

Quite a show yesterday.

- True bread and circuses.

- You liked that, huh?

It's a true misapplication

of the teachings of Christ.

You know, we're all entitled to that now.

You keep smiling.

About time.

Something funny.

I'd have been

just as happy staying here.

Isn't that funny?

Yeah, it's hysterical. Come on.

Father Brown!

We missed you at Matins.

I kind of missed it, too.

But what are you going to do?

Are you coming to Lauds?

I think Lauds have their place...

but as it is,

we got to get over to Canada.

- You know how it is.

- Father Brown.

I'd like to stick around

and enjoy your hospitality and so forth.

Father Brown!

We all enjoyed your sermon last night.

That's good. I'm glad you did.

Are you leaving with the others?

Yes, I think we are. We have to.

Father Brown.

- We got to go.

- Father Brown.

Funny, right?

I could have stayed in there.

Yeah, I told you it was funny.

Now calm down, okay?

We get to the border, you make

the sign of the cross over the guy...

I make the sign of the cross over the

guy, over we go. Okay?

Okay.

- See you at vespers.

- You bet your life.

I suppose I should thank you.

Happy to serve.

Yeah, I suppose it's a miracle.

Still asleep?

Yeah, doc says she should

sleep till noon.

Thank God.

What was she shouting

at us yesterday?

Speaking in tongues.

You worked a miracle. Is that the truth?

Believe what you want to believe.

Are you still trying to

pick a fight with me? Still?

No! No, I'm not picking a fight.

No, matter of fact, I was moved.

I was thankful what happened.

What, is that so strange?

No, not strange at all.

Then, what about this?

I was moved and I'm thinking about

I'll take holy orders.

- Holy orders?

- Yeah.

You sure that's what you want to do?

Well, can you think of

a better idea, Father?

A better idea?

Yeah. Maybe I can.

A better idea?

You want to share it with me, Father?

All in good time.
