"I was in love with her and I didn't want to hurt him." "And the others didn't kick my ass 'cause you and Geno cut in before I had a chance to finish 'em off." "With what. your face?" "The trouble with you is." "you've got selective memory." "What about the time the Lupo brothers were chasing you and Geno down Flatbush Avenue?" " Who took 'em out?" " You did." " You're damn right I did." " You ran over 'em with a T-Bird." "So?" "What does that have to do with fat guys kicking your ass?" "I don't know." "It's gotta mean something." "This rookie's never seen a stiff before in his life." "Papa di Morte nailed this old fart right in the middle of eating a burrito." "Now. he must've gone just like that."

"until I can work something out." "In the loft." "you said you believed me." "Now you're not sure." "are you?" "Angela. your just happening into my confessional... is one helluva coincidence." "Padre. it was not a coincidence." "I was praying to the Virgin." "She sent me to you." "Listen. uh." "I have the only key to this room... so no one will bother you." "You look exhausted." "You should get some sleep." "Where are you going?" "A priest has to go to work just like everybody else." "Angela." "Padre." "Whatever you decide... I owe you my life." "I'll never forget that." "I got it!" "Let us pray." "Lord Jesus Christ. for the three days you lay in the tomb." "you made holy the graves of all who believe in you." "and even though their bodies lie in the earth."
