Robert De Niro credited as playing...
Father Bobby
- Father Bobby: It was the Sistine Chapel he painted.
- John Reilly: Sixteenth Chapel?
- Father Bobby: Sistine Chapel.
- John Reilly: Who painted the other fifteen?
- Father Bobby: I'm telling you as a witness... and as a priest. We were at the game.
- Michael: Yes, as a priest, and a priest wouldn't lie? Am I right?
- Father Bobby: A priest with ticket stubs wouldn't need to lie. I always keep the stubs. Do you want to see them?
- Michael: Why is that, Father? Why do you keep the stubs?
- Father Bobby: Because you never know when someone might want more than your word.
- Michael: Has anyone ever questioned your word before today?
- Father Bobby: No. No one ever has. But there's a first time for everything.
- Young John Reilly: Hey, uh, Father. How long did it take him? You know, paintin' the ceiling and all?
- Father Bobby: Took him about nine years.
- Young John Reilly: Nine years?
- Father Bobby: That's right.
- Young John Reilly: [laugh] For a ceiling? I had a Puerto Rican guy do my whole apartment in two days... and he had a bum leg.
- Father Bobby: And you won't need a doctor when I'm done, you'll need a priest - to pray over your body.
- [pause]
- Father Bobby: See you in church.
- Father Bobby: [about sermons, before the boys are sentenced] This is one of my favorites.
- Young Lorenzo 'Shakes' Carcaterra: What is?
- Father Bobby: "Whatever you do to the least of brethren, you do to me".
- Father Bobby: I stopped off at Attica today on my way up here to see an old friend of mine.
- Young Lorenzo 'Shakes' Carcaterra: You have any friends who aren't in jail?
- Father Bobby: Not as many as I'd like.
- Father Bobby: Listen, I got a story I want to tell you.
- Young Tommy Marcano: It ain't the one about the lepers, is it? Cause that one gave me nightmares.
- Father Bobby: What about the life that was taken, Shakes? What's that worth?
- Lorenzo: To me? Nothing.
