Father Howard
- Tada Cuda: You were sent here or you asked to come?
- Father Howard: I was sent by the diocese, when Father Carelli retired.
- Tada Cuda: Retired? Huh! Father Carelli is younger than I am. He asked to leave. He left like the rest of them. He thinks this town is finished!
- Father Howard: [with mock solemnity] No, he has cancer. He's very near the end. In fact, I haven't heard, he may be gone.
- [crosses himself]
