Mrs. Pring : This is the season of goodwill.
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : If it wasn't, I'd tell you there's only three things that a man can't tame, and that's: a pig, a mule and a housekeeper.
Father Neil Boyd : But in the spirit of the season, you WON'T say it.
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : Correct.

[the collection plates are found empty and Father D searches the nativity scene for the missing Christmas donations]
Father Neil Boyd : What're you doing, Father?
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : I'm seein' if the infant Jesus is sittin' on me money.

Mrs. Pring : Every year, just before Christmas, Father D makes a resolution to be good. Heaven knows: when he's bad he's hard to live with, but when he's good he's awful.
Father Neil Boyd : I can imagine.
Mrs. Pring : No, you can't. When you see him trying to be charitable, he'll make your eyes pop out.
Father Neil Boyd : I'll take your word for it.
Mrs. Pring : He's so polite you'd think the Pope was in the cupboard listening.

Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : ...Father Neil, you got a funeral in the morning at 10 o'clock.
Father Neil Boyd : Ah, yes.
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : Mm.
Mrs. Pring : Has somebody died?
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : No, no, no, not at all, no, no. No, I like burying 'em alive, ya know, sometime.

Dr. Daley : So Pontius, uh, put the mark of the beast on your bumper?
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : He did, indeed, but I'll get me revenge.
Dr. Daley : Good Catholic sentiments, Charles.
Father Neil Boyd : Remember, it's Christmastime, Father.
Dr. Daley : I don't suppose you'd, uh, let me examine the site of the excavations?
Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : It's in a spot that nature forbids even let ME to look at.
