Quotes 

• [Father Mac is holding Tony on the train tracks at gunpoint] 

  Tony Pronti : You're crazy, man. You're a priest! You you can't do this!

  Father McRoberts : I was a man first, kid.

  Tony Pronti : All right, just tell me what you want and I'll do it.

  Father McRoberts : I want you to bring Sonny back! I want you to brink back the clerk.

  Tony Pronti : I can't bring 'em back! I'm not God, and neither are you, man!

  Father McRoberts : Then may He forgive us both, son.

• Father McRoberts : [telling Sam about his time in the war]  The enemy ran suicide squads at us all day long. All day. I don't know how many men I killed that day - fifty, hundred... I just can't remember anymore. But I swore, if I lived, I'd spend the rest of my life making up for it.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : So you became a priest.

  Father McRoberts : It seemed like a good start at the time. Now I don't know.

• Father McRoberts : [to Sam - in the body of Frank Pistano - about the Montocelli sisters]  I was here ten years before they quit reviewing my sermons. Now they just shoot me dirty looks from the front row. At least you're Italian. They consider being Irish a birth defect.
