Harry O'Shea:
It's been a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Wade.
T. M. Wade:
I know.
Off-Screen Narrator:
...But his everyday work was with the people of his parish, and especially with those who sought his advice and counsel. Since he was a man of God, his labors sometimes led him into the strains and secret places of mens' souls. He was just and forgiving, but he was also a man, and a stern and uncompromising judge of character.
Father George A. Lambert:
[
Speaking to an anguished-looking middle-aged man] Stop that! Even if I wanted to forgive you, I... I couldn't. It's out of my hands.

pause]
Father George A. Lambert:
Jim, you're a sick man.
Jim Crossman - Killer:
But Father, I...
Father George A. Lambert:
We've been through it all before. I can't help you - the sanitarium, perhaps...
Jim Crossman - Killer:
No, I won't! If... if people would just...
Father George A. Lambert:
It's not people, son; it's you. I told you that before. This time, fortunately, no great harm has been done. But the next time... No, I can't let you go any longer; it's got to be the sanitarium. Have you spoken to your mother about this?
Jim Crossman - Killer:

panicked] You wouldn't tell *her*!
Father George A. Lambert:
I haven't spoken to anyone.
Jim Crossman - Killer:
What about Father Gardiner?
Father George A. Lambert:
Oh, Jim, you're starting all over again. This is just between the two of us. I prefer that you make up your own mind, son, but if you can't... I won't wait long. For your own sake, I can't wait long.
[
Jim slowly turns his head toward the priest, looking dazed and frightened. He walks away]
