In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Our Father, who art in Heaven,

hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread,

and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive them that trespass against us

And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace,

the Lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou amongst women,

and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

pray for our sins now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Amen.

WOMAN. The Old Folks at Home

Children. # Way down upon the Suwannee River

# Far, far away

# There's where my heart is turning ever

# There's where the old folks stay

# All up and down the whole creation,

# sadly I roam

# Still longing for the old plantation

# And for the old folks at home

# All the world is sad and dreary

# everywhere I roam

# Oh darkies, how my heart grows weary

# Far from the old folks at home

Children. I believe in one God

the almighty Father

maker of Heaven and Earth

maker of all things visible and invisible

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ

the only begotten son of God

born of the Father before time began

God from God

Light from light

True God from true God

MAN. We humbly beseech the for the soul of thy servant

which thou hast this day commanded to pass up this world

That they would not deliver into the hands of the enemy

nor forget unto the end

but wouldst commend it to be received by the holy angels

and be conducted to paradise its true country

That as this has happened,

and believed it may not suffer the pains of hell,

it may take possession of eternal joys,

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

God rest his soul.

(Weeps)

(Robbie tries to suppress moans)

(Robbie's moaning escalates)

Bang bang.

You�re dead.

Is your Mam in, lad?

Yeah, Mrs May.

Can you tell her?

We've come to see your dad.

Go on, lad, go on.

I'm scared, Mrs May. I'm scared.

What of, lad?

I'm scared to go past the parlor, Mrs May.

Well, your dad can't hurt you now, son.

The dead can't bite.

I'm scared, Mrs May, I'm scared!

You run in and tell your Mam.

We're here.

We'll watch you.

Well, he can't feel any more pain now, Nelly.

Thanks for the wreath.

It's lovely.

We wanted to.

It's the least we could do.

(Sighing)

(Whispers) Mam.
