THE SECOND ACT

Amy

Sure, I know that.

Father McKee

If ever you need a word of comfort, call on me, my daughter.

Amy

Thanks.

Father McKee

You may not be a Cath’lic, but I’ll do my best by you. [Amy smiles wanly.] I had my doubts of this here marriage, but God knows who’s meant for who in this world, He ain’t done a bad turn by either you or Tony.

Amy

I got no kick.

[The Doctor enters, quietly closing the bedroom door after him.]

Father McKee

Be patient with him. He’s old enough to be your father, and no man ain’t got no business marryin’ at his age, but he’s a good fella.

Amy

I guess I better go in there now.
