Quotes 

• 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]

  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.

• Father Bobby : [about Shakes' prank in the church]  Nuns are such easy targets.
