A Confession Request and Understanding Response
Father Brendan
I understand you'd like me to hear your confession.
Mark O'Brien
Yes, I would. I told my attendant to come back in half an hour. Is that okay?
Father Brendan
I'm in no rush.
Mark O'Brien
I can be a bit time consuming, but I'm, uh, worth the trouble.
Father Brendan
I'm here for you, Mark.
Mark O'Brien
Okay, this is not exactly a confession. I haven't yet done the deed. I was hoping sort of hoping to get a quote in advance.
Father Brendan
What's on your mind?
Mark O'Brien
The most immediate thing on my mind would be one of my attendants, Joan. I'm thinking of getting rid of her. It's an evil thought, but I - I can't help it.
Father Brendan
Is she dishonest, or incompetent?
Mark O'Brien
No, neither of those. She looks at me the wrong way. It's that you-need-me-more-than-I-need-you look. I'd like to show her she's wrong, just for the evil satisfaction it will give me. Is that a sin, Father?
Father Brendan
Well, it obviously troubles you.
Mark O'Brien
Yes, it troubles me a lot because what if it's really just a power trip. You know? Me against her. Me against the world.
Father Brendan
I really wouldn't worry about that. The question is whether you like having her around.
Mark O'Brien
I can't stand her.
Father Brendan
Well, then get rid of her. If I were in a position to choose, I'd find someone nice. Even if it was a power trip.
Mark O'Brien
Then I have your blessing to fire her?
Father Brendan
Unofficially, yes.
Mark O'Brien
That's good enough for me.
