Fantastic. Easily my favourite monologue ever.

ON THE WATERFRONT,
by Bud Schulberg
Father Barry (Karl Malden)

FATHER BARRY
I came down here to keep a promise. I gave Kayo my word that if he stood up to the mob I'd stand up with him all the way. Now
Kayo Nolan is dead. He was one of those fellows who had the gift of getting up. But this time they fixed him good unless it was an accident like Big Mac says.

Pop, Moose, and some of the others glare at Big Mac, who chews his
tobacco sullenly. Some of the others snicker "accident."

FATHER BARRY
Some people think the Crucifixion
only took place on Calvary. They better wise up. Taking Joey Doyle's life to stop him from
testifying is a crucifixion Dropping a sling on Kayo Nolan because he was ready to spill his guts tomorrow that's a crucifixion. Every time the
mob puts the crusher on a good man-tries to stop him from doing his duty as a citizen- it's a crucifixion.

CLOSE ON TERRY

Voice of Father Barry continues.

FATHER BARRY
And anybody who sits around and lets it happen,keeps silent about something he knows has happened shares the guilt of it just as much as the Roman soldier who pierced the flesh of Our Lord to see if He was dead.
