S2Hell

Will I put on the kettle?

Go on then.

...must be one of those ones that clicks off automatically.

Mmm...bit of steam there. Incidentally, did you bring any teabags?

...no.

Kettle's boiled there Ted.

Mmm.

Will I put more water in and turn it on again?

No... I liked it best the first time.

Maybe we could turn it on with no water at all, see what happens.

I don't think you should do that. It would just blow up. You'd be picking lumps of metal out of your face for a year. You'd have puffy fish lips bigger than your face.

Like Father Bigley.

Exactly like Father Bigley.

Maybe that's what happened to him!

Mrs Doyle [talking to Father Ted about ingredients in her cake] Oh, no, not cocaine. God, what am I on about. No, what d'you call them. Raisins.

S2Think Fast, Father Ted

The parochial house roof is leaking, and they need to raise some money...

God Almighty, that's going to cost a fortune to fix. Where are we going to get the money? Think, Dougal, how can we raise some money?

Hmmm....

Yes, I know. Aha! (give knowing glance)

Aha!

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

I think so, Ted. But now wait, I'm not sure....

What?

I mean, it is a big step, and err, where are we going to get the guns?

(mystified) What are you talking about?

Oh, wait a minute now - actually I might have been thinking about something different...

You thought we were going to rob a bank, didn't you?

I did, yeah!

Well, Dougal, this isn't a Bruce Willis film. I was thinking more along the lines of a raffle.

(The roof is leaking and water is dripping onto Father Jack's head down his arm and into his glass. Ted and Dougal begin to move Jack's chair away from the leak)

(Using a long stick with Dougal's help to wake Jack up from distance) Father, father, wake up! It's just us.

(Waking up) Get to feck! (Throws down stick) Drrrriiink!(Reaches for his glass and begins to drink)

(Panicked) No Father don't drink that it's...

FECKIN' WATER!

[being attacked by a murder of crows] Feckin' feathered eejits! Gobshites, the lot of ya!

(Ted has just convinced Father Finnegan, the 'Dancing Priest', to loan him his car to show off as a 'raffle prize' in place of the wrecked car from Bishop Brennan. Ted holds the keys in front of Dougal)

Dougal, Purcell's the most boring priest in the world. He was working in Nigeria a few years ago, and he woke up one morning to find everyone in the village had had enough of him and gone off in a big boat. It sank after about a mile and they were eaten by crocodiles.

We run the gas off the electricity and the electricity off the gas and we save two hundred pounds a year, but then a few weeks later ah god, I'll never forget it now, we got a new boiler..."

Are you alright there Fathers?

HELP ME!!!

Ah hello Ted, I was just telling Father Jack about the thing there last year, how did you fare with yours?

Er I don't know what you're....

Because you know they have no morals and no respect for human life. But what they do have and no-one can deny this now, they have the finest collection of boilers in the world! And I include Canada in that!

(to Father Purcell) Actually I'd just like to borrow Father Jack for a moment...

Thank CHRIST!

Ah God, I remember the first time I saw that boiler now, beautiful!

(on struggling to make out the number eleven on his ticket) Sorry Ted, I was looking at the ticket upside down.

FOFather O'Dwyer

Look, I'll have the money for you next week. Please, just one more chance that's all I ask, please. For Gods sake have some pity. I'm a priest!

Oh they have you everywhere you know. I was in the AA there for a while, but the insurance was very expensive.

Oh right (getting bored)

I had to crash the car to get the money back and they had witnesses who said they'd seen me steer it towards the wall you know. There was talk of me going to jail for a while!! (Dougal gets up and walks off, he turns to the holy father) Ah its yourself!! (carries on rambling on to Him)

Father Jack, where did you get the air freshener?

Oh, god...

Drived the car!

Not the new car! Tell me the truth, Father, have you been drinking?

(looks at the half-empty bottle of whisky he's holding and thinks for a moment) YES!

Tell me from the beginning. Where did you drive?

Shops! Drink! Corner! Shops! Got out! TRUCK!

A truck?!

(smashing two empty cans of lager together) TWO trucks!!!

Let's take a look. See if there's anything we can salvage.

This is a piece of advice my father gave to me. Now this refers not only to lagging, but all forms of insulation. He said "dont ever"...no, wait, it was "always"...no er, "never, never" - oh wait now, I've forgotten. Never mind. Whats your favourite humming noise? Would it be mmm-mmmmm or would it be mmmm-mm? The first one there, now thats the sound of a fridge humming and the second one, now thats the sound of a man humming. You never hear a woman humming. I knew a woman once, but she died soon afterwards. Now if you push me to it, I'd have to say my favourite colour is grey. No, blue. A soft blue with a hint of grey. No, orange. Yes, orange. I remember now. I had an extension put on the house, and I put it on the extension, so the house is in a circle now, you see...
