Fred Bowlby : [describing the most unusual feature of his honeymoon in Rome] And in St. Peter's Basilicate there's this great big horrible statue of St. Peter with his foot worn smooth from kisses.
Father Neil Boyd : Well, the Italians ARE very passionate.
Fred Bowlby : And Ilene said to me "For my sake, Fred, give it a kiss."

Fred Bowlby : [telling the tale of the chair's third victim] Charlie Skinner, a regular, yeah. Folks used to say if they ever do a post mortem on him they'd be lucky to find any blood in his alcohol. Anyway, there he is, soakin' his back teeth for a couple of hours - you know, one double scotch chasin' another down the old tunnel - and he must have sat down there without realizing. Well, then none of his mates would give him a hand, so he gets up, staggers out, gets into his car and drives straight into the river. Only three foot deep and Charlie six foot two. Drowned.
Father Neil Boyd : Ironic.
Fred Bowlby : Very. Normally he never took water with his whiskey.
