How about a satirical sequel? Same plot, similar characters and setting but add a couple new guys, Archie and πass.
Archie is sent to the waterfront. He soon discovers that Father Barry is keeping company with Terry, who is suspected of complicity in Joey Doyle's murder. Archie orders Fr. Barry to stay way from Terry. When Fr. Barry reaches out to Terry, Archie fires him just after Archie chases Fr. Barry out of the hold where Fr. Barry gave his crucifixion homily.

Archie is sent to the waterfront. He soon discovers that Father Barry is keeping company with Terry, who is suspected of complicity in Joey Doyle's murder. Archie orders Fr. Barry to stay way from Terry. When Fr. Barry reaches out to Terry, Archie fires him just after Archie chases Fr. Barry out of the hold where Fr. Barry gave his crucifixion homily.
In the ship Archie gives his own soliloquy. He says that on the docks harmony and unity is what's important. He asks that everyone pray for Johnny Friendly and his "brothers." Forgiveness, Archie says. When Edie goes to the church looking for justice, hoping that Archie will reach out to her, Archie turns his back on her and walks into the church.


The next and probably final chapter in the Reaching Out Saga
ReplyDelete“MORE REACHING OUT ON THE WATERFRONT--THE SATIRICAL SEQUEL”
will be posted shortly. Turn on your Sarcasm Filter.
As per my comment of 2:27 PM, this is the promised sarcastic Satirical Sequel to:
“MORE REACHING OUT-- A MEMBER OF THE LAITY ‘REACHES OUT’ TO A PRIEST ON THE WATERFRONT”
which was posted on Friday. If this post doesn’t make a lot of sense to you, you might want to go back to the Friday’s post for background. If you do, then this post might make more sense—or maybe it won’t!
I think you should have wrote a part for Reginald Van Dough Jr.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, 5:02 PM. He would fit right in at the Chancery, wouldn't he!
