for the last ten years.
for the last ten years, i have had a dream. a dream of a time when modern medical care would come to this small community, which sometimes seems so far from durham, with her lifesaving hospitals. i hope that this meeting, at which i see so many of my friends gathered, will be the start of making my dream come true.
an endeavor like this seems to me to be the very definition of community - all of us pulling together as one, farmers and merchants.  protestants and catholics.
mr. and mrs. kincaid have asked that there be no mass said here this afternoon. there will be a requiem mass for brady kincaid this sunday. they did ask me to say a word of comfort to you, if i could.
if there is any word of comfort i can give you, it's just this: the face of the beast always becomes known; the time of the beast always passes.
if there are times when we feel alone and afraid, only small creatures in the dark, then these are the times when we must turn to one another for our comfort and our hope. to our neighbors. to our community. to our love for each other. i alone cannot ease the pain for herb and naomi kincaid, nor can i ease your pain, nor you ease mine. but if i believe anything it's this: we can comfort each other. we can heal each other. we can go on together.
the bible tells us not to fear the terror that creepeth by night or that which flieth by noonday, and yet we do.  we do. because there is much we don't know, and we feel very small. but we must not be alone. we must not allow ourselves to be alone, for there is the wide gate to the hell of terror. turn to each other. join hands in your sorrow and try to remember that the face of the beast always becomes known. the time of the beast always passes. let us pray.
billy.  billy, this is a bad idea. joe can.
but-
but can't we do anything?
mr. and mrs. kincaid have asked that there be no mass said here this afternoon. they did ask me to say a word of comfort to you if i could.
uh, if there's any word of comfort i can give you, it's just this: the face of the beast always becomes known; the time-
the time.  the time of the beast always passes. there are answers.  ways.  ways to.  to cope.  if we turn to each other.
take your cart around to the garage and unload, jane! then bring me your tally sheet!
would you like to come in the parlor and lie down for a bit? or have a cold drink? i have some soda-
i'll give you a ride!
give my best to your brother, jane.
oh, you bastard!
i'm very sorry about this. i don't know if you believe that or not, but it's true. i would never willingly hurt a child. you should have left me alone, marty.
you're going to have a terrible accident, marty. you're going to fall into the river.
