Father Greg Pilkington : [Father Redstone has been addressing Father Pilkington in Latin] You've lost me, I'm afraid.
Father Redstone : I said: I know all about you. You're a boil on the body of Christ. A monstrous, living, breathing boil, ready to erupt at any moment into pus, and blood, and stench.
Father Greg Pilkington : I think I preferred it in Latin.
