Voila! Finally, the Priest
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the Linus Roache gay
priest movie. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Priest. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

ALL THE SINS OF THE TRIBE
INTO A GOAT.
THEN KICK IT UP THE BACKSIDE

AND WE'VE GOT
A SCAPEGOAT TODAY.

AREN'T YOU SPITTING

DON'T YOU SPIT

IF YOU KILL AND MAIM,
THROW PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR HOMES,

HELLO. CAN I HELP YOU ?
CAN I HELP YOU ?
NO.
[ Hangs Receiver Up ]
YEAH, TA-TA, PHIL.
TA-TA, CHRIS.
SEE YA.
YEAH ?
IT'S GOT TO STOP.
[ Scoffs ]
LOOK, SHE'S TAKING FITS
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU'RE DOIN'.
PISS OFF !
ALL RIGHT ?
[ Rotary Dialing ]
THEY USED TO ASK
A QUESTION WHEN WE
WERE IN SEMINARY.
IT WAS A SORT OF
STANDARD QUESTION.
[ Sea Gulls Cawing ]
A MAN TELLS YOU
IN CONFESSION THAT HE'S
POISONED THE ALTAR WINE.
DO YOU STILL GO OUT
AND SAY MASS ?
OH, THANKS.
NO, I HAD NO PROBLEM
WITH THAT.
I'D GO OUT AND SAY MASS,
DRINK THE WINE.
THERE'S A BIT OF THE MARTYR
IN ALL OF US.
BUT WHEN IT'S
NOT YOU SUFFERING,
WHEN IT'S SOMEONE
ELSE SUFFERING,
AND YOU KNOW
YOU COULD STOP IT
JUST BY SPEAKING OUT--
GERONIMO !
GIVE US A CUP OF COFFEE.
GO AHEAD.
BUGGER OFF !
THERE IT IS.
JUST LEAVE MY FLASK.
LEAVE MY FLASK !
DON'T TOUCH THAT.
COME ON.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YA ?
JUST BEAT IT !
COME ON,
GIVE US A SWIG.
NOT VERY NICE, IS IT, EH ?
[ Sniffles ]
NOT VERY CHRISTIAN !
[ Yelling ]
[ Sea Gulls Cawing ]
HE WASN'T HUMAN ENOUGH,
THE SON OF GOD.
HE HAD CERTAINTY.
HEAVEN, EVERLASTING LIFE,
HE KNEW IT ALL WITH
ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.
WELL, GIVE ME THAT,
AND, FINE, NO PROBLEM,
YOU CAN CRUCIFY ME AS WELL.
ALL THE AGONIES OF THE WORLD,
NO BLOODY PROBLEM WHATSOEVER...
BECAUSE I'D BE CERTAIN
THAT GOD EXISTS.
BUT I'M NOT CERTAIN.
ALL I'VE GOT IS FAITH.
THEN SOMETHING EVIL
COMES ALONG,
GRINNING,
SICKENING EVIL,
AND FAITH JUST
RUNS AWAY IN TERROR.
DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK
TO MY PLACE ?

[ Fr. Greg ]
THE DAY BEFORE HE SUFFERED,
HE TOOK BREAD
IN HIS SACRED HANDS,
AND LOOKING UP TO HEAVEN,
TO YOU, HIS ALMIGHTY FATHER,
HE GAVE YOU
THANKS AND PRAISE.
HE BROKE THE BREAD,
GAVE IT TO HIS DISCIPLES
AND SAID,
"TAKE THIS...
ALL OF YOU AND EAT IT.
"THIS IS MY BODY...
WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP
FOR YOU."
[ Altar Boy
Rings Bells ]
WHEN SUPPER WAS ENDED,
HE TOOK THE CUP.
AGAIN, HE GAVE YOU
THANKS AND PRAISE.
GAVE THE CUP
TO HIS DISCIPLES AND SAID,
"TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU,
AND DRINK FROM IT.
"THIS IS THE CUP
OF MY BLOOD,
"THE BLOOD OF THE NEW
AND EVERLASTING COVENANT.
"IT WILL SHED FOR YOU
AND FOR ALL,

WHO WAS HE ?
NO IDEA.
AND YOU COULDN'T
GIVE HIM COMMUNION ?
NO.
I NEVER DENIED
ANYONE COMMUNION.
THEY HAD MORE RIGHT
TO RECEIVE IT
THAN I HAD TO GIVE IT.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS
BEEN CELIBATE ?
BUT I'M NOT PROUD OF IT.
IT'S A GIFT FROM GOD.
HE GAVE ME
THE GIFT OF CELIBACY.
HE GAVE YOU
CERTAINTY OF VOCATION.
TWO TOTALLY
DIFFERENT GIFTS.
I WANT BOTH.
AH, NOW,
THAT'S BEING GREEDY.
SITTING IN MY ROOM,
SWEATING.
I TURN TO HIM FOR HELP.
I SEE A NAKED MAN...
UTTERLY DESIRABLE.
I TURN TO HIM FOR HELP
AND HE JUST MAKES IT WORSE.
UP THERE IN MY ROOM...
THAT'S MY GETHSEMANE.
I UNDERSTAND HUMANITY THEN;
EVERY SIN, EVERY COMPULSION.
I UNDERSTAND IT ALL.
SALIVA, RACING PULSE,
ADRENALINE;
THE ECSTASY
BEFORE THE FALL.
AND, MATTHEW--
WHAT I SHOULD SAY IS, MATTHEW,
I CAN'T SMILE AND HUG...
AND PREACH THE BEAUTY
OF CREATION,
BECAUSE INSIDE HERE THERE'S JUST
SIN AND SICKNESS AND EVIL AND--
WHOA.
I WAS GOING TO GET OUT,
GREG,
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.
BUT IT WOULD'VE BROKEN
MY MOTHER'S HEART.
SO I WAITED.
BY THE TIME SHE DIED...
IT WAS TOO LATE.
THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE
I COULD DO.
GET OUT NOW, GREG,
WHILE YOU STILL HAVE
YOUR HEALTH AND STRENGTH.
LOVE WHO YOU WANT,
WHEN YOU WANT.
GET OUT.
I CAN'T GET OUT.
GOD WANTS ME
TO BE A PRIEST.
I DON'T THINK IT,
I DON'T JUST... BELIEVE IT.
I KNOW IT.
I'LL PRAY FOR YOU.
[ Man ] AND WHAT ABOUT
THEM NEW FLATS THEY BUILT, EH ?
YOU REMEMBER THEM, DON'T YOU ?
[ Mrs. Unsworth ]
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
GONNA SAY, TOMMY.
[ Tommy ]
THEY RENT THEM IN NO TIME AT
ALL. IT'S HOUSES THEY WANT...
WITH A FRONT
AND A BACK GARDEN.
THAT IS WHAT THEY WANT.
YEAH, YOU'RE RIGHT. THOSE
FLATS ARE WHAT THEY WANTED.
AND THEY RENT THEM
IN NO TIME AT ALL !
[ Mrs. Unsworth ]
LOOK, WHAT I'M SAYING IS HOUSING
ISN'T THE ANSWER ON ITS OWN.
THERE'S A WHOLE LOAD

THAT IS NOT WHAT
I'M SAYING, TOMMY.
[ Voices Become Distant ]
WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO
WITH US THEN ?
MAROON US ALL ON A DESERT ISLAND
UNTIL YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING
JUST THERE ?
YOU CAN'T JUST PUT 'EM
IN A HOUSE WITH HOT AND COLD
WATER AND SAY, "THERE YOU GO.
THAT'S MY BIT." I'M TALKING
ABOUT VALUES. I'M TALKING
ABOUT CHANGING ATTITUDES.
[ Tommy ]
GOD, GIVE ME PATIENCE !
CHANGING ATTITUDES TAKES...
[ Thumping ]
A BIT OF MONEY
AND IT TAKES EDUCATION.
[ Thumping Continues ]
[ Mrs. Unsworth,

[ Thumping Stops ]
I'M SORRY,
I CAN'T GO ON WITH THIS.

BEEN SOMETHING YOU SAID.
DO SOMETHING !
DON'T JUST HANG THERE, YOU SMUG,
IDLE BASTARD ! DO SOMETHING !
FEMINISTS AND LIBERALS,
THAT'S ALL YOU NEED,
ISN'T IT ?
[ Group Chattering ]
OOH ! EARLY FINISH,
EH, PHILLY ?
[ Slams Fist ]
I'M GONNA TELL SOMEONE.
THAT'S WHAT YOU'D DO.
SHE'S A -YEAR-OLD GIRL.
YOU WOULDN'T SEE HER SUFFER.
YOU'D SAY, YOU'D SAY,
"THIS GIRL IS ME.
THIS GIRL IS
ALL-SUFFERING HUMANITY.
FOR THIS I CAME."
YOU WOULDN'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT THE CHURCH AND ITS RULES
AND ITS REGULATIONS.
THE SECRECY OF CONFESSION--
HOW CAN THAT BE GOOD...
WHEN IT ALLOWS EVIL
TO THRIVE ?
YOU'D SPEAK OUT !

SO YOU SHOULD DEMAND
TO BE TREATED THE SAME
AS ANY OTHER PRIEST.
HETEROSEXUAL, HOMOSEXUAL,
IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE.
UTTER BOLLOCKS !
YOU'VE BROKEN
A MAN-MADE RULE,
THAT'S ALL.
IT'S THERE FOR THE PROTECTION
OF PROPERTY TO KEEP IT AWAY
FROM THE WIDOWS OF PRIESTS.
CHRIST WAS CELIBATE.
IT'S THERE FOR
THE MOBILITY OF LABOR.
NO WIFE, NO KIDS,
SO YOU CAN KICK A PRIEST...
CHRIST WAS CELIBATE.
FROM ONE END OF THE EARTH
TO THE OTHER.
CHRIST WAS CELIBATE !
LOOK, MATTHEW,
THE CHURCH GIVES US EVERYTHING:
MONEY, FOOD, SHELTER, RESPECT.
AND ALL SHE ASKS
IN RETURN IS CELIBACY.
CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE.
ALL WE'RE ASKED FOR
IS CELIBACY AND WE CAN'T
EVEN MANAGE THAT.
CHRIST DIDN'T ASK US TO BE
CELIBATE. IT'S MANMADE.
SOLEMN VOWS !
IT'S A MANMADE THING.
"DO YOU SOLEMNLY SWEAR ?"

SOLEMN VOWS.

I'M TALKIN' TO YA !
TO CALL ANOTHER HUMAN BEING
SATAN, I MEAN--
WHAT KIND OF RELIGION
IS THAT ?
WHAT KIND OF SICK,
TWISTED BRAINWASH...
HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH ?
HIS SOLE PURPOSE IN LIFE
IS TO TEMPT YOU INTO SIN,
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN' ?
YOU'RE CHRIST
AND HE'S JUST
THE BLOODY SERPENT.
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYIN',
YOU ARROGANT PRICK ?
I THINK I LOVE HIM.
YES.
DO YOU WANT HIM ?
YES.

TO WANT TO SCRATCH THAT ITCH,
TO WANT TO MAKE LOVE
