Quotes
-
Father Tanner McBride : [as they dance] They're blue.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : What?
Father Tanner McBride : Your eyes. They're a beautiful shade of blue.
[beaming smile from her]
-
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Come on, Jeffrey, be a sport.
Jeff Colby : Sport? You ask me to take you to a... a formal charity event that ends up being a sock hop for kids, and you've already got a date!
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Tanner is not my date. Why don't you call Monica?
Jeff Colby : Monica?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Your sister, remember? We could all go together.
Jeff Colby : You really think this is funny, don't you?
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : No, I think you are funny.
[knock on door, sure to be Tanner]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : Will you get that? And be nice.
Jeff Colby : [goes off to door, mumbling:] "Be nice."
-
Father Shea : [as Sammy Jo watches Tanner dance] Not bad for a man of the cloth, is he?
[she sighs]
Father Shea : Priests aren't that different from anyone else. In most respects.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : [still reeling after her discovery of Tanner's calling] Isn't it unusual for a priest to take a year off?
Father Shea : You have to realize what a year off means in our line of work. Even though Tanner is living and working in the secular world, he's still a priest. The vows are still sacred.
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : I see.
[hopefully:]
Sammy Jo Dean Carrington : And... some men who take this leave, decide to leave the priesthood?
Father Shea : Some do. It isn't easy for a man to turn a deaf ear to his calling. Of course the church doesn't give up easily, either.
[Sammy Jo nods, little bit daunted]
