CONTINUED: (4) 12. Ben and George, on the piano seat, look at each other and kiss. Some applaud, some whistle, a noisy crowd. FADE OUT. INT. ST. GRACE’S SCHOOL / AUDITORIUM - DAY FATHER RAYMOND is sitting alone in the back of a large auditorium where a choir rehearsal is taking place. His eyes are closed, his head tilted down, as if in prayer. In the background, the voices of the chorus sing the powerful Miserere, by Allegri. Up on stage, BOYS and GIRLS sing together, wearing their own casual clothes, under a modern sculpture of Christ on the cross. They sing in Latin; Tibi soli peccavi et malum, coram te fecci: ut justificeris in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum judicaris (Having sinned against none other than You, having done what You regard as wrong, You are just when you pass sentence on me). It’s a very democratic group: different ages, races and attitudes. Each face has a story, and together they give extraordinary power to the music. In front of them, George conducts with passion for the music, moving his arms, mouthing some of the words that he knows by heart. In the back of the auditorium, Father Raymond continues to pray, invisible to the people on stage. INT. ST. GRACE’S SCHOOL / OFFICE - DAY The small administrative office of Father Raymond.

Both men look tense. (CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 13. GEORGE (interrupting) Father. You’re not going to read me the whole Witness Statement, are you Father Raymond hands him the piece of paper. FATHER RAYMOND The Christian Witness Statement, George. You signed it when you took this job. GEORGE Father, how long have we known each other FATHER RAYMOND I wish I didn’t have to do this, George. GEORGE Twelve years. Twelve years, Father. FATHER RAYMOND You must understand that... GEORGE Understand what FATHER RAYMOND That day when you announced you were getting married, at the spring semester meeting GEORGE You’ve all known this whole time that Ben and I have been living together. FATHER RAYMOND Word got out to the Archdiocese. And then someone showed the Bishop pictures of you and Ben in Petra - on Facebook, of all places. GEORGE I wouldn’t have done it any differently, Father. FATHER RAYMOND I’m not saying you should have, George. But the Bishop wasn’t happy. (CONTINUED)
