look, statues are there for people -- what about father macanally?e'd no problem taking a few shillings. well, that's a very complex theological and philosophical point about a greater good coming from a lesser evil. he didn't break into a church and tamper with a statue. he would have if he'd thought of it first. i'm sorry, father, we shouldn't have done it. father, look, what you were saying about the greater good. i mean, think about it. donal's got sue ellen. the people of ballykissangel have got a fine new food outlet. and maybe we can give you a complimentary meal to make up. sue ellen. waitress! yeah? you're not getting me. i've wiped the statue clean. there will be no more sweat, no more mockery, and no more cynicism. your tacky little game is up. but, father -- don't, liam. just don't. so what now? is the sky going to fall on us? is lightning going to strike us down? excuse me. who's the owner of this vehicle? i am. what can i do for you? you can let me in that yoke, for a start. excuse me? i'm from the department of health. oh. you want how

i took the summer camp for father macanally last year. well, brendan accepted money from me without declaring it for tax. you suggested it father. just tell him, brendan. the last thing i want to do is stand up in court and plead guilty to tax evasion -- so brendan wondered if it could be claimed that you took the summer camp as part of your priestly duties without extra payment. i'm sorry, no. i don't want to get involved in any of this. father clifford -- i will not collude father macanally. and that's your final word? yes. you may find you're too self-righteous for your own good, father. i'm a priest! oh, yes, we must never forget that. okay, off you go. all we can do now is wait. that's the bit i hate. i get bored. don't tell me. tell you what, why don't we head back to the pub and worry the natives? why not? ambrose! ambrose! yes, father. just a second niamh, sorry. excuse me, niamh. ambrose, who are those two men? what two men? come on, everyone's in a panic; kathleen's close to a breakdown. that's not my fault. maybe not, but you c
