Frank Galvin:
[after the church has offered a check for $210,000 to settle the case] How did you settle on the amount?

Bishop Brophy:
We thought it was just.

Frank Galvin:
You thought it was just?

Bishop Brophy:
Yes.

Frank Galvin:
Because it struck me, um, how neatly 'three' went into this figure: 210,000. That means I would keep seventy.

Bishop Brophy:
That was our insurance company's recommendation.

Frank Galvin:
Yes, that would be.

Bishop Brophy:
Nothing we can do can make that woman well.

Frank Galvin:
And no one will know the truth.

Bishop Brophy:
What is the truth?

Frank Galvin:
That that poor girl put her trust into the... into the hands of two men who took her life. She's in a coma. Her life is gone. She has no home, no family. She's tied to a machine. She has no friends. And the people who should care for her - her doctors... and you and me - have been bought off to look the other way. We've been paid to look the other way. I came here to take your money. I brought snapshots to show you so I could get your money. I can't do it; I can't take it. 'Cause if I take the money I'm lost. I'll just be a... rich ambulance chaser. I can't do it. I can't take it.
