- No, not now.
- I've been holding it for, like,
- an hour.
- Take your laptop with you.
I can't watch it on the toilet.
I can't pee while I'm watching.
I don't like these zombies as
much as the fast-moving ones.
I know, but
I believe them more.
Like, if they're dead,
they're gonna move slower.
But I don't think the
28 Days Later zombies are dead.
I just think they're
they've got a virus, you know?
- That's why they move fast.
- But they're both better
than The Walking Dead ones. [LAUGHS]
Oh, my God, they're awful.
You could step around them.
If we had zombies
you and me we would be brilliant.
We'd save everyone.

Lila saw zombies.
She was watching a scary movie.
It's just her imagination, Mom.

Okay, that's enough,
let's get back inside.
It's cold.

There was definitely

[GROWLING]
Throughout every religion
and mythology,
there is the story of the destroyer.
Lucifer.
The Devil.
He is as timeless as the Creator.
And despite what the modern
world would have you believe,
he is just as real today
as he ever has been.
The word Lucifer
comes from the Greek.
Eosphorus.
It means "dawn-bringer".
DAVID: [CLEARS THROAT] Father.
- But it is also
- Father.
[WHISPERS]: Your back is bleeding.
I was light-headed
getting out of the shower.
I must have
scratched up my back when I fell.
Let's go to the doctor.
No. I'm fine.
You don't look fine, Father.
David.
This stays between us.
Of course.
I, uh
haven't been myself lately.
The blood on my back, it just
develops.
It heals,
then starts up again.
I feel as if I'm under some kind of
attack.
- Spiritual attack?
- I don't know.
I've been angry.
I have trouble forgiving.
And I don't want to pray.
Father
let me conduct an assessment.
Of me?
No.
You conduct five exorcisms a month.
Who knows what the demonic
can do to you over that time?
The only way to know
is if we conduct an assessment.
- We?
- My team and myself.
David,
if the archdiocese knows
Let me do it confidentially.
I'll keep the results just between us.

We need photographic evidence.

- This is her job.
She's, like, a vampire stalker.

I thought you were sleeping in the yard.
We were.
Mom, we just
We heard a noise up here.
Go to bed, you two.
- Mom, wait.

What?
[GROWLING]
Nothing.
Good night, Mom.
Hey, Mom, can dogs
be arrested for murder?
- Mom?
- Can I get a haircut, Mom?
- Oh, that's too long.
- Mom, are you even listening to me?
- Do you hear me right now?
- All right.
Almost ready? Bus is in two minutes.
I want eggs, Mom.
Why can't we have eggs in the morning?
If you put your orders in by
2:00 a.m., I'll think about it.
No, seriously, can dogs be
arrested for murder or not?
What does your teacher say?
- ALL: "Don't talk during class".
- [KRISTIN LAUGHS]
Mom, can I have another
sleepover tonight?
Again? You just did one last night.
Mind your own business, Lynn.
No, it's about zombies, right?
- Catching zombies.
- Hmm.
[SING-SONGY]: Imagination
Shut up!
Hey! Don't say "shut up".
If it's all right with Mrs.
Metellus, it's okay with me.
But I don't want you to be

- Have fun, love you, bye.
- [RINGTONE PLAYING]
- [GIRLS CLAMORING]
David, what's up?
I need your help.
Father Mulvehill is having some issues.
The exorcist might need an exorcism.
[EXHALES]
I, um
I know this must feel awkward,
but I thought
it'd be easier if David wasn't present.
It's just that I've never been
on the other side
of one of these assessments.
I'll try to make it quick and painless.
Last person who promised me
quick and painless
was the doctor taking out my appendix.
And was it either?
- No.
- [LAUGHS]
Okay.
Why did you become a priest, Father?
Actually, should I call you Father?
Joe's good.
I heard the calling.
You heard?
Are we talking a voice?
No. I understood
what God wanted from me.
Do you think God has
a special purpose for you?
- Of course.
- Why "of course"?
Because God did not just call me
to the priesthood.
He also called me to be an exorcist.
That's your question, right?
Secular professionals love priests
when we open food kitchens
and protest nuclear weapons.
We unnerve them
when we start talking about
demons and angels
and true evil.
Am I right?
Are you right that I'm unnerved
by your profession
- as an exorcist?
- Yes.
I don't know if I'm unnerved.
I'm just trying to deal
with the reality as you see it.
Um
do your thoughts jump
from place to place
so much you can't keep track of them?
Recently I have felt
confused.
But, uh
I haven't been getting enough sleep.
Have you been doing anything
that's out of character?
Father, I'm
gonna be honest with you.
You do seem troubled.
By something. I don't what it is.
But
it's keeping you from
completing your mission.
So use me.
Use the secular to cure the spiritual.
[EXHALES]
[CLEARS THROAT]
When I was
a younger man, before the priesthood,
in seminary, in fact,
I had a habit.
An addiction.
Nothing dramatic.
Gambling.
Okay.
When I heard the call,
I gave it up completely.
I never felt the draw again.
Just like
people who give up cigarettes.
After a while,
the thought of a cigarette
makes them nauseous.
But then
this.
It was like that whiff
of a cigarette from the past.
Call it
nostalgia, call it
Uh, I don't know.
[CHUCKLES]
But I started gambling online.
Didn't feel like gambling. I could
play poker anonymously
with other anonymous people.
And I wouldn't be a priest
in a card club.
Have you bet with money?
Not at first, but
lately, yes.
A lot of money?
Well, as a priest,
I don't have a lot of money.
But I want to be clear.
I I don't think
my issues are spiritual.
I-I think they are
a backsliding into old habits.
That's all.
And I-I have to resist it.
It's about
willpower.
Nothing else.
KRISTEN: He admitted
to a gambling problem.
That, combined with the cycles
of high energy
and confusion are
all warning signs of mania.
- Gambling?
- KRISTEN: Online.
He started back in seminary, but
he gave it up until a month ago.
- When he exorcised Leland?
- David, this is
a vicarious trauma issue,
not a demonic one.
A trauma issue can be a demonic one.
No, let me look at his computer.
Why?
Because that's what I do.
A lot of things are more simple
than devils and diseases.
What?
We think you should take the month off.
What?
[LAUGHS] No. I'm fine.
You were almost dead.
Come on. I was missing in a basement
for 24 hours. That's nothing.

What do you mean?
I looked into his eyes,
and
that wasn't my dad.
♪
Okay, is this what's
been on your laptop?
Mm no, not like that.
Okay, but when you surf the Web,
this is how they appear, right?
MULVEHILL: Yeah.
Uh, maybe. I don't know.
Yeah, okay. It's not psychological
you going back to gambling
and it's not spiritual,
it's not the Devil
it is Internet advertising.
- The temptation is spiritual.
- BEN: No.
These big social media companies have
algorithms that search
for characteristics
that they then target ads at.
Shopping ads, porn,
even gambling ads.
It's not the Devil at work.
It's just social media.
I haven't gambled in 30 years.
What characteristics
could they possibly be looking for?
Articles that interest you.
Keywords in your emails, searches.
Look, these algorithms
are pretty subtle,
cross-referencing search words
in your emails
that push you toward knitting,
violent videos,
kittens, whatever
- unknown obsession you have.
- DAVID: So,
what does he do to conquer it?
BEN: Well, I can clean out
his browser of cookies and
upload some ad blockers.
Type in your password,
I can do it right now.
Unless
you want to keep gambling.
No. No.
Great, I'll do it right now.
- Thanks.
- [TYPING]
I'd better get to class.
David?
Okay, now tell me the real story.
[LAUGHS] The real?
- Yeah.
- What do you mean?
You're doing something.
I know you.
I don't need an algorithm to know you.
[CHUCKLES]
Okay.
So I was looking
at his number of emails.
- Mm-hmm.
- There are none.
What do you mean there are no emails?
I mean his email cache
is empty, clean.
- Spotless. Not even spam.
- So?
So when somebody cleans out their inbox,
trashes all the emails and
then throws out the trash,
in my experience,
they're hiding something.
Porn?
Give me a minute.
DAVID: He likes you guys.
Mm-hmm.
- What's going on?
- No emails.
Meaning?
Mm, almost, almost there, almost.
Okay, if I search
an email from his inbox
and type in just the symbol "at",
the auto-correct pulls up
the most recently sent email.
Uh what?
Uh, it's a trick.
Watch. He trashed
every one of his emails
that he sent or received, right?
- Mm-hmm.
- And I want to find
the last one sent.
Watch.
KRISTEN: D4power?
Mm-hmm, that is the person
that he most recently
exchanged emails with.
Okay.
DAVID: Wait, wait,
what-what're you doing?
- Writing him.
- Why?
- What are we looking for?
- Your priest friend's cohorts.
- He's not been up-front with us.
- He confessed to gambling.
- That's not everything.
- Why would he confess to that
- and not something else?
- I don't know.
But that's why we assess, right?
Find out if he's having an affair
or if he paid off somebody?
"Great talking to you"
- No, no, no, no, no. Um
- Hmm?
"Thinking about our last conversation".
- Now what?
- Well, now we wait.
That was fast.
BEN: "I'm warning you.
One last time".
What's he warning about?
BEN: "Let's meet in person
and clear this up".
Wait, is that a good idea?
We'll find out.
What the hell?
[WOMAN MOANING]
LILA: Hey, Mom.
Hey. How are you doing? Come here.
How's it going?
- You seem upset.
- No. No, I'm not.
Just dealing with everything.
- In your work, Mom?
- Mm-hmm.
The stuff you do,
is there really monsters?
- Is my work bothering you, babe?
- No, no, no.
I I actually think
- it's kind of cool.
- Okay.
I tell my friends
at school about it, and
Oh, no.
Although I do tell them
you carry a samurai sword.
[LAUGHS] That's great.
I'm gonna get one.
Well, are there monsters?
Like, real monsters?
Well, there are people
who do monstrous things,
I guess.
But I don't know
if I'd call them monsters
because they're still people underneath.
You just have to find that person?
Yeah. And sometimes that's hard
because they've forgotten
who they really are
or they like being a monster too much.
Is that what happened
with that LeRoux guy?
Why do you ask?
I know he was bad.
Yes, he was.
He did monstrous things.
What happens if they can't
be a person again?
If they're always gonna be a monster?
I don't know.
Do you ever give up on anyone?
- A friend or
- A dad?
Lila
- your dad loves you.
- I know.
- This isn't about Dad.
- [PHONE RINGS]
- Okay.
- Oh, love you.
Hey, you can sleep here if you want.
No, that's okay, uh
- I have homework.
- Okay.
Hey, Ben. I'm glad you called.
I have a question.
Uh, okay.
Um, so what you did today
with Mulvehill's gambling ads
on my Web browser
it's just covered in ads I don't think
I ever did anything to encourage.
What kind of ads?
Like, um
people ads, meeting
meeting people ads.
Okay, uh [CHUCKLES]
well, just bring in
your laptop tomorrow,
I'll clean out your cookies.
Okay. I-It's not just that.
I also just don't understand
why this is happening;
I mean, I never did anything.
Uh, social media has a mind of its own.
It it guesses at what you may want.
Or somebody's just messing
with your computer.
Hello? You still there?
Oh
- They can do that?
- Yeah,
if they have your password.
Listen, c-can I
can I just tell you why I called?
Uh, yeah, of course. Sorry. What is it?
I think I found the person
that Mulvehill was emailing.
Who is it?
BEN: It's a guy he owes money to.
He's an enforcer.
Mulvehill has gambling debts.
- How much?
- $40,000 from online poker.
- Ooh.
- Oh, my God.
Yeah, I got him a one-week extension,
but he really has to
get out of this situation.
Clearing out his browser is not enough.
I can get him medication for his mania.
But I don't think
he's gonna listen to us.
- Mm.
- Okay, I
I'll talk to him.
What's wrong?
My dad just came home from work.
And he just stares at the wall
and doesn't say anything.
I'm sorry.
Alex?
Where does your dad work?
CongoRun.
Their warehouse.
That's like Amazon?
Yeah.
Like them?
Alex
I think that's what
we saw from upstairs.
"CongoRun Warehouse Turns Employees
into Zombies".
REPORTER: Millions of people
order from CongoRun.com
every day, making it
the third-richest company in the world.
But accusations continue
to grow that CongoRun
mistreats its employees.
All are non-union,
many are forced to work
without regular bathroom breaks
or even routine safety precautions.
[DISTORTED VOICE]: They fired me
because I couldn't keep up.
Every night I come home to my
family feeling like a zombie.
And then I finally got injured
on their new distro machine.
- That's like Dad's.
- They just fired me.
No workman's comp, no nothing.
Get a lot of complaints about
blood left on people's lawns
and sidewalks and driveways.
What can I do?
There's no time to even stop
and put on a Band-Aid.
You're right.
It is your dad's work.
So what do we do?
[MUSIC PLAYING QUIETLY ON RADIO]
Whose phone is locked?
Are you talking to us?
If you want to get your hair braided,
you need to make an appointment.
We're not here to do our hair
or our phone.
We read online you deal with zombies.
People becoming zombies.
Who's becoming a zombie?
My dad.
And why is that?
He started working at a factory.
Where does your dad work?
CongoRun, their warehouse.
Long Island.
LILA: What are you doing?
In Haiti, the slaves
in the sugar cane fields
were worked to death.
It was backbreaking work.
Painful.
Deadening.
Some of the slaves
thought the only escape
from this nightmare
was to kill themselves.
But that, of course,
meant the slave driver
lost a good worker.
So the slave drivers
perpetuated a story.
A story of zombies.
If a slave were to commit suicide,
they wouldn't go to heaven
or hell.
They'd be cursed
to work the plantation
as zombies for eternity.
So, now, fast-forward to today.
The CongoRun factory
is physically
and emotionally toxic.
And, like slavery,
can turn the workers into zombies.
By making them dead inside.
So what's the solution?
Two solutions.
This one.
The blue one.
It's for your dad.
Add it to his food and don't tell him.
Just let him consume it.
What does it do?
This one.
The green one.
It's for the slave driver.
LILA: Who's the slave driver?
I don't know.
But he'll reveal himself.
They always do.
ALEX: Hey, how you doing, Dad?
Fine.
Lila came over and helped me make
spaghetti and meatballs.
I do not need this now, David.
DAVID: That's too bad.
We need to talk.
You have $40,000 in gambling debts.
- What?!
- Don't deny it, Father.
We're assessing you.
That's what we do.
I told you I have a weakness.
- And I
- No. Stop it.
You're making it worse.
I don't know what happened.
Maybe it was Leland.
Maybe it was just a
a weakness in your character.
But I can't ignore it.
You promised you wouldn't
go to the bishop.
And I won't.
As long as you take six months off.
Go into a program.
Promise that,
and I won't go to the bishop.
- You going to school?
- Shh.
[WHISPERS]:
Mom and Dad are still asleep.
They're still asleep now?
Wow. You think this is because of our

Okay. If you think so, sir.

- No, it isn't.
You're just lazy.
Um
do you know Father Mulvehill,
the exorcist?
- [SIGHS]
- Why do you do that?
What?
[IMITATES SIGH]
I find the good Father, shall we say,
full of himself.
You find Father Mulvehill
His little exorcism kit
the leather one.
He spends his nights
making it look weathered.
The leather is new, but he rubs it down
with sandpaper to make it look old.
- You're kidding.
- No.
How do you know that?
We Sisters of Mercy clean your rooms.
We know a lot more
than you want us to know.
What is your question?
Okay, you're probably
ahead of me on this.
I think Father Mulvehill should
take a break from his exorcisms.
He conducts five or six a month,
and I think he's, um,
spiritually exhausted.
- You have reason to believe this?
- I do.
He's been texting his next
subject, Leland Townsend.
He's the man that you
I know who he is. What's he texting?
I'd rather not say.
It's of a personal matter.
Then go to Bishop Marx.
I promised the Father I wouldn't.
Well, that was a dumb promise.
I could confront him
and tell him
he has to go to Bishop Marx.
No. Mulvehill will never
give up exorcisms willingly.
He loves the drama of them.
He thinks he's in a movie.
You confront him, he'll just lie to Marx
and say you're trying to undercut him.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You see so clearly.
It's just odd, because you're, uh
Cleaning the kitchen?
Yes.
- When's his next exorcism?
- Tomorrow.
- With Leland.
- And you'll be there?
- I will.
- Good.
Then I'll join you.

Of course we are. 40 of our friends
are out of work and in the hospital.
MAN: CongoRun isn't
giving them severance.
And they can't even sue.
They have to go to arbitration.

The question is do we have
enough support to unionize?
Our power is in a union.

HAMLIN: Hey, the solution, the solution
is never a union.
You trade the face of the boss you know
for the one you don't. Because the union
- becomes your boss.
- Found it.
A boss you'll have to pay.
You'll have to pay dues
and go along with their rules
or they won't
protect you anymore. But the thing is,
- you don't need any protection.

HAMLIN: CongoRun will
always take care of you.
We're like a family.

Brandon, I would suggest you end this
if you plan on keeping your job.

- I need to re-wrap it.

into work yesterday.
BRANDON: Failed to come
into work and get sick

I heard the calling.
You heard?
Are we talking a voice?
No. I understood
what God wanted from me.
Do you think God has
a special purpose for you?

Because God did not just call me
to the priesthood.
He also called me to be an exorcist.

Secular professionals love priests
when we open food kitchens

We unnerve them

demons and angels
and true evil.

willpower.

Who's becoming a zombie?
My dad.

He started working at a factory.
Where does your dad work?
CongoRun, their warehouse.
Long Island.
LILA: What are you doing?
In Haiti, the slaves
in the sugar cane fields
were worked to death.
It was backbreaking work.
Painful.
Deadening.
Some of the slaves
thought the only escape
from this nightmare
was to kill themselves.
But that, of course,
meant the slave driver
lost a good worker.
So the slave drivers
perpetuated a story.
A story of zombies.
If a slave were to commit suicide,
they wouldn't go to heaven
or hell.
They'd be cursed
to work the plantation
as zombies for eternity.
So, now, fast-forward to today.
The CongoRun factory
is physically
and emotionally toxic.
And, like slavery,
can turn the workers into zombies.
By making them dead inside.
So what's the solution?
Two solutions.
This one.
The blue one.
It's for your dad.
Add it to his food and don't tell him.
Just let him consume it.
What does it do?
This one.

Do you have a minute, Sister?
How's your breathing?
I'm still working on it.
Been distracted.
Well, you need silence.
I know.
- It's hard to find.
- No, it isn't.
You're just lazy.
Um
do you know Father Mulvehill,
the exorcist?
- [SIGHS]
- Why do you do that?
What?
[IMITATES SIGH]
I find the good Father, shall we say,
full of himself.
You find Father Mulvehill
His little exorcism kit
the leather one.
He spends his nights
making it look weathered.
The leather is new, but he rubs it down
with sandpaper to make it look old.
- You're kidding.
- No.
How do you know that?
We Sisters of Mercy clean your rooms.
We know a lot more
than you want us to know.
What is your question?
Okay, you're probably
ahead of me on this.
I think Father Mulvehill should
take a break from his exorcisms.
He conducts five or six a month,
and I think he's, um,
spiritually exhausted.
- You have reason to believe this?
- I do.
He's been texting his next
subject, Leland Townsend.
He's the man that you
I know who he is. What's he texting?
I'd rather not say.
It's of a personal matter.
Then go to Bishop Marx.
I promised the Father I wouldn't.
Well, that was a dumb promise.
I could confront him
and tell him
he has to go to Bishop Marx.
No. Mulvehill will never
give up exorcisms willingly.
He loves the drama of them.
He thinks he's in a movie.
You confront him, he'll just lie to Marx
and say you're trying to undercut him.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You see so clearly.
It's just odd, because you're, uh
Cleaning the kitchen?
Yes.
- When's his next exorcism?
- Tomorrow.
- With Leland.
- And you'll be there?
- I will.
- Good.
Then I'll join you.

- BRANDON: Wait-wait, wait, wait.
The question isn't whether we're angry.
Of course we are. 40 of our friends
are out of work and in the hospital.
MAN: CongoRun isn't
giving them severance.
And they can't even sue.
They have to go to arbitration.

- BRANDON: Wait, wait, wait.
The question is do we have
enough support to unionize?
Our power is in a union.
LILA: Looks like the blue bottle worked.

Yeah.
If we move now, maybe.
Everybody's angry.
- We know that anger dissipates.

Brandon?
How did you know that we were meeting?
I just, uh, wanted to give you an update
about your colleagues.

WOMAN 2: This is for the workers.
MAN: Yeah, get out here, go.

Our CongoRun family is hurting.

You're trying to kill us.
Brandon, you know that isn't true.
We're putting aside a fund of $300,000
- to take care of
- [ALL SHOUTING, CLAMORING]
HAMLIN: Hey, the solution, the solution
is never a union.
You trade the face of the boss you know
for the one you don't. Because the union
- becomes your boss.
- Found it.
A boss you'll have to pay.
You'll have to pay dues
and go along with their rules
or they won't
protect you anymore. But the thing is,
- you don't need any protection.
- WOMAN: We want to pay dues.
HAMLIN: CongoRun will
always take care of you.
We're like a family.
[ALL CLAMORING]
Brandon, I would suggest you end this
if you plan on keeping your job.
BRANDON: Mr. Hamlin, you can't fire me
- for unionizing.
- HAMLIN: That's not why
- I'd be firing you.
- I need to re-wrap it.
HAMLIN: You failed to come
into work yesterday.
BRANDON: Failed to come
into work and get sick
from your little gas attack.
Well, you still failed to show up.
A fireable offense.
I would disband
your little communists here.
No. In fact, you can leave my house
right now, sir.
He's coming, quickly.
Excuse me.
Thanks.
Little girl?
I'd tell your dad it's a bad economy
to be out looking for a job.

No, you can leave that on, Leland.

that's probably the
CongoRun delivery men.
I ordered some 40-pound weights.
I don't need any.
I just like seeing someone
try to deliver 'em.

Oh, my.
- Don't know my own strength.
- Shut up, hell fiend!
You think you have power
over Jesus Christ,
- demon?
- I think I have power
over a priest who owes
money to his bookie.
You have no power over God.
Try me, bitch.
Show me where God is.
In Bergen-Belsen?
In the Uighur concentration camps?
Just show me.
- Take over, David.
- I'm not an exorcist.
Oh, no, not the holy water again.
Now I'm in real trouble.
ANDREA: Do it.
[SIZZLING]
ANDREA: God drive out
the Devil, drive him
from where he dwells. David.
Ooh. Ow!
[WAILING]
Stop it. Stop it, damn it!
Out, devil, out!
[DOOR CLOSES]
How did that happen, David?
I don't know.
But it did happen, right?
What?
David threw holy water on Leland
and his skin burned.
It was smoking.
- He ran out, terrified.
- What?
What, are you suddenly
holy or something?
It's not me.
It's her.
Sister Andrea.
[DOORBELL BUZZES]
- KENSIA: Hello?
- Oh, hi,
my name is Zach Neville.
I'm the regional director of
operations for distribution.
Sounds like the slave driver.
NEVILLE: I got to say
that, uh, your name
has been coming up quite a bit lately.
BRANDON: I don't
understand, Mr. Neville.
He was threatening to fire me.
He was standing where you are right now
and he said if I continue to organize,
- I would be fired.
- Yeah, and I'm here to say
that Mr. Hamlin overstepped his bounds.
- So you're not firing me?
- [CHUCKLES] Of course not.
In fact, we had to
let Mr. Hamlin go today.
He came into work inebriated.
Did we do that?
I think so. From the green bottle.
So Brandon still has his job?
Well, actually, I wanted to
offer him Mr. Hamlin's job.
- Oh, my goodness.
- W If I stop organizing?
Yeah, well, you wouldn't
be a worker anymore.
You'd be in management, that's true,
but at ten times the salary.
Of course, we want
industrious people like you
- in the corporate ranks.
- Now, wait a minute, now
Can we think about it, Mr. Neville?
Of course, of course. But, Brandon,
I am sorry we put you through this.
We want to make it right
for you and your family.
Thank you, Mr. Neville. Thank you.
Now, you call me. You have my card.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
Father Mulvehill agreed to move
into isolation for six months.
Don't step there it's wet.
Y-You heard what I said?
I did. Father Mulvehill
is going on retreat.
Yes.
He'll be back, and
just as proud as before.
That's why I need you.
This-this battle is
too important for you
to spend 12 hours a day
cleaning this rectory.
I don't spend 12 hours
a day cleaning this rectory.
I spend 12 hours a day praying.
Then use your prayer
to beat back this demon.
David, you have all the power you need.
That didn't happen because of me.
That holy water happened because of you.
And for the first time,
Leland was scared.
Not of me, of you.
[SIGHS] Sister, he
he gets into my mind.
He interrupts my prayers.
Then work on your breathing.
Clear your mind of everything but God.
Focus.
Why won't you join me?
'Cause I'm a woman and this
is the Holy Catholic Church.
Here, dump this outside.
