Quotes6

  • Father Greg Pilkington: [addressing Father Redstone in Latin] Abi et futue te ipsum, sordide senex.
  • [Translation: Go fuck yourself, you dirty old man]
  • Father Greg Pilkington: And how would you feel if someone robbed your car?
  • Boy Car Thief: I haven't got one.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: Well, suppose you did.
  • Boy Car Thief: I'd get a weed-on.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: Exactly. I'd get a... weed-on too.
  • Boy Car Thief: You haven't got a car.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: Well, what about Father Matthew?
  • Boy Car Thief: No one would wanna rob his car, would they?
  • Father Greg Pilkington: Because he's a priest?
  • Boy Car Thief: Because it's crap!
  • Father Greg Pilkington: [Father Redstone has been addressing Father Pilkington in Latin] You've lost me, I'm afraid.
  • Father Redstone: I said: I know all about you. You're a boil on the body of Christ. A monstrous, living, breathing boil, ready to erupt at any moment into pus, and blood, and stench.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: I think I preferred it in Latin.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: When we were in seminary, it was a sort of standard question: a man tells you in confession that he's poisoned the altar wine. Do you still go out and say Mass? Now, I had no problem with that: I'd go out and say Mass, drink the wine. There's a bit of the martyr in all of us.
  • Father Greg Pilkington: [seeing the housekeeper's neck brace] So, you've hurt your neck, have you?
  • Housekeeper: [sarcastically] No, I'm a dedicated follower of fashion.
  • [She escorts him to his room and opens the door]
  • Father Greg Pilkington: Thank you.
  • Housekeeper: Dinner at 7:30 - dead pig.
  • Charge Sergeant: [Father Pilkington is being charged with public indecency] Occupation?

  • Father Greg Pilkington: Priest.
  • Charge Sergeant: Catholic?
  • Father Greg Pilkington: [quietly] Yes.
  • Charge Sergeant: [grinning] You little devil!
