Father Ted · Season 1
(Father Jack's wake has begun. Various priests and nuns are in the living room)
I think it's absolutely great to see. I mean, the level of commitment amongst the African church in bringing the faith to the people is just wonderful! It's marvellous, isn't it?
Sure I wouldn't know, I'm from Donegal.
(One of the older priests at the wake is devastated by Jack's death)
Why him, Ted? Why is it always the good ones? You bastard! [shakes fist to Heaven]
Now, Father!
He could have been pope, Ted! But the feckin' Jesuits, they have it all tied up!
Yes...
Imagine, Ted! A Polish pope! It should have been Jack! But it's not what you know, is it? It's who you know!
Ah, it's sad, but sure look at him there; he looks quite serene.
OH, GOD! NO, NO, NO, NO!! HE'S DEAD, TED! WE'LL NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN! [continues sobbing]
We'll see him in the next world.
(sarcastically) Oh yeah, sure!
