Our Father, who art in heaven...

How old was he?

Father Dougal

I'd say he was about 80.

And how long were you up on him?

Father Dougal

About an hour?

So you were up on an 80-year-old man's back for 60 minutes, whipping him around the place. Do you realise that image will stay with me for the rest of my life?

(Ted is recovering from a fright because he thought he saw a vision of Mary. It was actually Dougal moving a statue of Mary at the window)

Father Dougal

Ted, I'm so sorry. It was just a joke.

Try to avoid doing that again Dougal. I thought it was really... Herself. It's the last thing I need!

Father Dougal

You're right there Ted.

(Dougal is about to take Father Jack for a walk. Dougal asks him if he is coming too)

You're not coming yourself?

(Evasively) No, I think I'll stay here and... pray for a while.
