'Bless me
Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.'
The
priest asks, 'Is that you, little Dominic Savino?'
'Yes,
Father, it is.'
'And who
was the girl you were with?'
'I can't
tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation.'
"Well,
Dominic, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well
tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?'
'I cannot
say.'
'Was it
Teresa Mazzarelli?'
'I'll
never tell. '
'Was it
Nina Capelli?'
'I'm
sorry, but I cannot name her.'
'Was it
Cathy Piriano?'
'My lips
are sealed.'
'Was it
Rosa DiAngelo, then?'
'Please,
Father, I cannot tell you.'
The
priest sighs in frustration. 'You're very tight lipped, and I
admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone. You
cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself.'
Joey
walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
'What'd you get?'
'Four
months vacation and five good leads.'
