Judgment

Aubert: Now tell me your sins.

Go ahead. Tell me.

- I was disobedient to my dad, and I talked back to him,

and I had a fight-- Aubert: Shh.

Slow down. God can’t hear you.

- And I had a fight with my sister, and I was mean to her,

and I teased her.

Is that all?

Yes, Father, that’s all.

- Now let me hear an act of contrition.

- O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee,

and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments,

but--but most of all, because they offend thee,

my God, who art all-good and deserving all my love.

I firmly resolve, with the help of thy g--grace,

to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.

Amen.

- I absolve you in the name of the Father

and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

I got it, Dad!

- Great. Good boy.

Hey, come on in!

You’re gonna be late for church.

Okay, let’s go.

Dad, come back!

- Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Don’t want to be late for your first Communion.

Come on.

Dad--be at church.

Dad, don’t break my bike.

Emmeline: Whoo-hoo!

Emmeline:

Once again now.

Whoo-hoo!

Aubert: Behold the lamb of God.

Behold him who taketh away the sins of the world.

Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.

Say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.

Say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof.

Say but the word, and my soul shall be healed.

Body of our Lord Jesus Christ

preserve thy soul unto life everlasting.

Amen.

Body of our lord Jesus Christ

preserve thy soul unto life everlasting.

Amen.

Body of our lord Jesus Christ

preserve thy soul unto life everlasting.

Amen.

Oh.

- Now, the way I see it, Daniel,

the diocese ain’t gonna forget about us,

seeing as how we always done the right thing by the church.

See what I’m saying?

- I got to tell you, ol’ Pete, your bid’s too high,

they don’t give a damn

you done the right thing by the church.

Robbie!

Robbie, come over here.

Oh, you look-- you are all dirt.

Spit. -

More.

Father wants to talk to you.

I killed two alligators.

Here, stop it now.

Listen to Father.

They look like alligators.

I’m sure they did.

Robbie, I would like to train you

to be an altar boy.

Would you like that?

- - It’s not fair.

Is it hard, Father?

Hard like math?

- It’s harder. - Oh, Justine, shush.

- No, Robbie, it’s-- it’s not hard like math,

but, um, you do have to learn how to walk

and bow and genuflect,

and there are lots of prayers.

Will God love me more?

Well, strictly speaking, he can’t,

but between us, he will love you more.

- The way I figure it, that puts me in line

for the renovation at the diocese.

Then I can do a proper bid.

Now, the way I figure it--

- Honey, the way I figure, if you--if--

look, if you bid this the way you want,

we’re gonna lose, uh, $600.

Maybe $700.

- Where do you get that? - Look.

Where do I get it? Well, look.

You--you didn’t-- see, you forgot

to add in the excavating.

And...

with the carton, we have that.

You see?

Look.

Well, I’ll make it up

on the diocese job.

We don’t have the diocese job.

We don’t have this job.

Honey, I’ll get this job.

By taking a $600 loss?

And I’ll get the diocese job.

- We have a payment due on all that.

We’ve got a payment due on the house.

I want to do this over.

Come on, and I want to go with you

when you talk to ’em about the bid.

Okay?

- Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

Sorry I’m late.

Honey.

Hi.

- I got to help Daniel fix his generator.

- Oh, hold off on those numbers, Sabine.

Hon, they’re not quite right yet.

Aubert: Don’t spill it, now, Joseph.

Prayers on the left.

Robbie, hold up your left hand.

Now what do we do next?

Take the veil off the chalice,

and then I do the little pitchers.

Which are called?

Trusets.

Cruets, cruets.

- Joseph, let him learn at his own speed.

He’s so slow, Father.

- I expect to hear about that nasty crack

at your next confession.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit.

"As it was in the beginning,

"is now, and always will be,

"world without end.

Amen."

- Now put your hands over the page.

And this time, do it from memory.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning,

will always be

until the end.

Amen.

Father?

Are you gonna tell Mom and Dad that I can’t do it?

- Well, is that what you think I should tell them?

I’ll make you a promise, Robbie.

Father will tell them only what they need to know.

Hmm?

The problem isn’t you.

The Guitry bid is a fair bid.

The problem is overruns elsewhere.

And I’m sure I don’t have to tell you

that the church is a nonprofit organization.

Yes, well...

But we’re not.

Honey.

The pity is,

this isn’t a very big job,

so there’s not much room for whatever.

There is a much bigger job coming up.

You hear that, hon?

Yes, but, Father, you said

that our bid was fair.

And I meant that.

- So why don’t you be fair to us?

- Honey, they got these overruns.
