Daniel Abineri: Father Neil Boyd

Quotes 

• Matron : I want you to remain strictly within your province of caring for souls. Bodies belong to us...

  Father Neil Boyd : Yes, Matron.

  Matron : ...while there is still life in them, that is - so work hard at keeping out of our way.

• Nurse Owen : Jesus went all over Palestine healing the sick, didn't he?

  Father Neil Boyd : Yes, well... Matron wasn't alive then.

• Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : Have you been able to help that black man, yet?

  Father Neil Boyd : Oh, the nurse and I are preying for him.

  Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : And?

  Father Neil Boyd : He's getting worse every day.

  Father Charles Clement Duddleswell : Well, do him a favor - don't prey for him anymore.

• Dr Spinks : You are the only one who CAN help him.

  Father Neil Boyd : Well, why me?

  Mr. Affram : Because my grandfather told me that he thinks you're the white witch doctor.

  Dr Spinks : All you've got to do is put on your brightest vestments and utter a few spells over him.

  Father Neil Boyd : Oh, in Latin, I suppose.

  Mr. Affram : You may add incense, burnt feathers, chicken's blood - my grandfather would like that.
