Episode Five: A Fistful of Bishops: Turn Three: Naked Scripture!
The Village of Ardglass…
Get some coffee for the irritable bishop, paying for his. Improve his morale with scripture!
…"This rain is a bit unpleasant, what!" remarks
Father Lars, coming over all feckin’ English like some kind of great feckin’ eejit.
"Why don’t we have some feckin’ coffee! Read a bit of feckin’ scripture! Get the feckin' morale up!"Luckily passing right by a nearby café, Father Lars drags his bishop inside and sits him down before walking over to the counter and noticing the particularly dark and sombre décor of-
"OH MY!" shouts Father Lars, suddenly lowering his voice and turning round to check Bishop Fachs hasn’t noticed.
"Feck!" he finishes, whispering at the naked elderly waitress behind the counter and staring up in shock at the café’s logo on the wall.
"The Naked Heathen Café?!?! I can’t feckin’ well let a naked heathen pour coffee for a feckin’ bishop! I can’t even let a feckin’ bishop see any naked feckin’ heathens! I’ll never get feckin’ promoted if a bishop hears I have naked feckin’ heathens on my feckin’ island! Feck! We need to get out of here FAST!" He ambles sheepishly back to Bishop Fachs.
"Erm! Your Grace! I’m afraid they’ve not got any coffee left! Let’s go!"”No feckin’ coffee! What the feck! I need some kind of feckin’ caffeine to survive this feckin’ drizzly island of shite! Let me go and have a look over their alternatives meself then!”"Erm! No! Your Grace! I’m afraid they’ve got nothing at all!"”What?!” demands Bishop Fachs, incredulously, before turning to the waitress behind the counter.
”YOU’VE GOT NO FECKIN’ DRINKS AT ALL IN A FECKIN’ CAFÉ? WHAT KIND OF FECKIN’ EEJITS ARE YOU, YOU RIDICULOUS GOBSHITES?!””What’s that Your Grace?” asks the naked elderly heathen behind the counter.
”We’ve got plenty of coffee! Look, Your Grace, I’ll bring you some over right now!”The waitress walks towards the end of the counter.
"Nooooooooooooooo!" cries Father Lars, sprinting towards the waitress, hoping to reach her before she reveals her naked heathenness to the bishop.
"Only priests are allowed to feckin’ serve coffee to bishooooops!!"Just as the naked elderly heathen reaches the end of the counter, Father Lars flies through the air at waist height, crashes into her, and tackles her to the floor where she lands with a smash. Her tray of coffee flies through the air, two generous cups hurled towards the wall just above Bishop Fach’s head.
They smash, covering the bishop’s lovely purple cassock with hot coffee.
As Bishop Fachs rises to severely admonish Father Lars, the back door of the café bursts open. An elderly naked heathen, a man this time, stands in the doorway carrying a shotgun.
”WHAT’S ALL THIS FECKIN’ SHOUTING THEN?! Oh, hello Your Grace!”His gaze quickly switches from the bishop to the priest wrestling his naked wife.
”AND WHAT THE FECK ARE YOU DOING ON ME FECKIN' WIFE, YOU FECKIN’ PRIEST?”
A Ditch Outside the Village of Ardglass…
>Pull Bishop McFeckerty from the wreck before it can explode and deposit him a safe distance away!
The other one, too, if there's time!
>Then give Father Tiruin a good kick in the bollocks, followed up by a punch in the gob for being so dangerously feckin' boring!
…"What the feck have you done now, you bloody stupid gobshite?!" screams the furious
Father O’Feckerty, standing by the burning priestly car in the muddy ditch just outside the village of Ardglass. Suddenly he remembers the bishops in the burning car!
"Oh feck oh feck oh fecking fecked feck!" he eloquently mutters as he dashes closer to the blaze.
"Oh feck oh feck oh feckerty feck!" he adds, jumping into the fiery car head first and then delivering such a firm kick to Bishop McFeckerty’s arse that His Grace flies out of the vehicle, through the drizzly air, and lands a safe distance away in the ditch.
"Oops," mumbles O’Feckerty.
"He doesn’t look very pleased. Oh well, start as you mean to go on and all that," he affirms, hauling himself out of the car and into the path of
Father Tiruin, dashing to the fiery inferno to rescue his own bishop.
"-and then that one time wherein...Oh dear, it looks like our Bishops lacked sleep. O’Feckerty, you should be paying more attention to the road! I've been talking on and on, and it’s not like you can fall asleep by listening to my riveting words. This reminds me of one time-" Father Tiruin continues,
"Where I took a good rest in one of the king size mattresses they had on sale last week..."Father Tiruin stops abruptly as O’Feckerty kicks him right in the feckin’ bollocks and then bends to the floor to punch the stricken priest right in the gob.
Appease the situation via diplomacy, by that I mean HELP OUT THE BISHOPS - prioritizing that who is in more trouble - and my fellow Father if any conflict is to come!
Also, clear the area.
…"-and then, you, I said, well, only if you still do the old priestly discount you know, I said, flashing a bit of the old stiff Betty" recommences
Father Tiruin, flailing about on the floor and bleeding a little from the corner of his mouth. He has a sudden realisation.
”You feckin’ punched me right in the gob, you great eejit! And what about me feckin’ bishop! He’s in the burning feckin’ car!""Oh right. So he is. Don’t want the eejit to feel left out now, do we?" realises
Father O’Feckerty in his turn, heroically walking back over to the car and smashing Bishop Jordan right in the feckin’ gob. The force knocks the bishop out of his seat and out of the open door, into the wet and slippery ditch. He rolls over once and slides the few feet into the dreary ditch water at the bottom, a joyful streak of mud suggestively staining the back of his bishoply cassock.
Father Tiruin struggles to his feet and watches aghast as Father O’Feckerty wanders into the middle of the road and strips naked before using his cassock to flag down a passing car, dragging the innocent driver out onto the tarmac and kicking him right in the bollocks! Father Tiruin suddenly realises Bishop Jordan is now the nearest person to the probably-about-to-explode car!
"...Oh I… um… you see, mustn’t get too damp, Your Grace," he blurts, dashing over to his bishop.
"And, you know, you’re a bit too close to the car for my liking, Your Grace," enthuses the dronesome priest.
"You know, I read somewhere just the other day that the average car explosion radius, in the average 1992 model Vauxhall Nova like this one," he continues, as he turns the bishop over and drags him up and out of the ditch, now covering the front of his cassock in a muddy stain,
"Is about twenty seven point eight metres," he concludes as he lays the filthy bishop on the roadside exactly twenty eight metres from the car whose last few flames, as Father Tiruin turns to observe them, fizzle out in the miserable dribble.
A small wisp of smoke escapes from the wreckage.
Naked Father O’Feckerty finishes enthusiastically kicking the groaning driver in the crotch and surveys his companions: Bishop McFeckerty face down in the ditch, Bishop Jordan covered in mud on the roadside, and Father Tiruin bleeding, now quite profusely, from the face.
”Are you feckin’ well coming or not, yer big bunch of gobshites?”He climbs into his new car and starts the engine.
The Nearest Department Store in the Village of Ardglass…
Perform quick exorcism! Leave scene with bishop in tow. Drive to the nearest church with the Bishop to calm him down, maybe organize a mass, then requisition socks.
…Meanwhile, back in the nearest department store in the village of Ardglass, Mrs O’Patrick is queuing with Mrs MacBrien at the checkout in the largest lingerie department in Ireland.
”I say, Mrs O’Patrick,” says Mrs MacBrien,
”Can you hear some kind of kerfuffle going on?””I dare say I can, Mrs MacBrien,” says Mrs O’Patrick, her ears twitching with excitement.
”It seems to be coming from over there!””I say, Mrs O’Patrick,” says Mrs MacBrien,
”Is that naked priest Father Errol from your parish?””I dare say it is, Mrs MacBrien,” says Mrs O’Patrick, her eyes widening with scandal.
”He seems to be wearing a bra upon his head!””Come back here, Father Errol you great gobshite!” shouts Bishop O’Neill, chasing the priest through the blue lingerie section as fast as his aging heart allows him.
”Come back here, you stupid eejit! THAT’S NOT HOW YOU FECKIN’ WELL EXORCISE A PIECE OF LADIES UNDERWEAR! Come back at once before you suffer irreparable damage!””Oh feck, Mrs O’Patrick,” says Mrs MacBrien,
”They’re feckin’ well coming back this way!””I do believe they are, Mrs MacBrien,” says Mrs O’Patrick, her face blushing with astonishment.
”Doesn’t Father Errol look terribly spiritual! Oh feckin’ SHITE, Mrs MacBrien, LOOK OUT!”Just then
Father Errol, suddenly and partially blinded by the dangling bra strap on his head pinging back into his eye, trips over a purple panty display and tumbles at top speed into the queuing women. He slides along the floor, chafing himself lightly and turning as he lies to see Bishop O’Neill bearing down upon him.
The panting bishop catches up with Father Errol with a glint of triumph in his eyes, rips the bra off the priest’s head and, pulling a cigarette lighter out of his cassock pocket, sets the offending piece of underwear alight.
”The power of Our Lord,” shouts the bishop, flinging the burning bra away from him with all his force,
”Compels you!”The bra lands on a neatly arranged display of peach coloured pantyhose a few feet away, and immediately flares up in a six foot tall ball of flame.
”That,” yells Bishop O’Neill to Father Errol,
”Is how you bastard well exorcise a piece of women’s feckin’ underwear! Oh Jesus,” he adds,
”Me feckin’ heart!”The bishop falls to his knees, a slightly glassy expression crossing his eyes and his hands clenching his chest.
Blood pouring from one eye, Father Errol stares in horror.
”Oh no,” says Bishop O’Neill,
”It’s ok!”Two priests are naked! One post office has been robbed! One car has been burnt! One car has been stolen! One lingerie stand has been set on fire! One bra has been exorcised! Father Errol has a -1 Slightly Hideously Blinded Bonus to next turn!
