Father Greg Pilkington:
They used to ask us a question when we were in seminary: a man comes up to you in confession and tells you that he's poisoned the altar wine. Do you go out and say Mass? I had no problem with it; I'd go out and drink the wine. I suppose there's a little of the martyr in all of us.
Father Greg Pilkington:
And how would you feel if someone robbed your car?
Boy Car Thief:
I haven't got one.
Father Greg Pilkington:
Well, suppose you did.
Boy Car Thief:
I'd get a weed-on.
Father Greg Pilkington:
Exactly. I'd get a... weed-on too.
Boy Car Thief:
You haven't got a car.
Father Greg Pilkington:
Well, what about Father Matthew?
Boy Car Thief:
No one would wanna rob his car, would they?
Father Greg Pilkington:
Because he's a priest?
Boy Car Thief:
Because it's crap!
