S1Good Luck, Father Ted

(After Dougal pretends to be on Top of the Pops using the screen from the broken TV.)

How did that gobshite get on the television???!!!

Tom (wearing an "I Shot JR" T-shirt): Father?

Yes, Tom?

I've killed a man.

(nonchalantly) Did you, Tom? I'll have to talk to you about that later. I'm going to do an interview for the television!

Terry (On the phone to Ted): Where is Craggy Island?. We can't find it on any maps.

Ted (smiling): Oh no, it wouldn't be on any maps. We're not exactly New York! No, the best way to find it is to head out from Galway and go slightly north until you see the English boats with the nuclear symbol. The go very close to the island when dumping the old 'glow-in-the-dark'.

Come on, Ted. Sure it's no more peculiar than all that stuff we learned in the seminary, you know, Heaven and Hell and everlasting life and all that type of thing. You're not meant to take it seriously, Ted!

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?

(Father Dougal, walks in to the living room. He has shaving cream all over his face)

Er.. Dougal? There's some shaving cream just there (points to his own face)

(Dougal looks carefully at Ted's face)

No there's not Ted. No. You're grand.

No. On You.

Where exactly Ted?

Dougal it's all over the place.

(Dougal walks over to a mirror)

How on earth did all that get there? I didn't even shave this morning! (Towels face)

(Dougal walks over to the window to check the weather)

(Smiling) God it's lovely out!

(A tropical hurricane is destroying things outside)

(Dougal is excited about Funland, an annual fair on Craggy Island, which opens that afternoon

(Dougal is at the window looking through binoculars. Somehow he is able to see a close-up of an ants nest)

The ants are back Ted!
