Episode 2.00 transcript - “welcome back”

[SFX: The curtain to the confessional opens.]

[MUSIC: Bouncy violin music begins.]

FR. BEN: Welcome back. What would you like to confess today?

CAITLIN: I don't know. I can't think of anything super bad that I did.

TANNA: I painted my dog’s toenails the other day and I'm feeling kinda bad about it.

STACY: Father, I'm afraid I failed in my role as a contributing member of society.

[SFX: The curtain to the confessional moves again.]

[MUSIC: Drums, keyboards, and glockenspiel join the strings.]

FR. BEN: What exactly happened? How'd you do this?

STEVE: It all started 20 years ago.

FR. BEN: (RESIGNED, UNDER HIS BREATH) Of course it did.

BILL: I'm not entirely sure that my faith is my own.

DYLAN: I keep having these dreams about my mom's friend Jessica.

JEREMY: And it's horrible. It's gotten so out of hand and I... I'm just so sorry.

ANDREW: So, the thing is… I did kind of convince this kid in my class to poop on our teacher's chair.

DARLA: And I'm over here, saddled with his skid-marked underwear and an encyclopedic knowledge of his mother's daily medication and I can't.

[MUSIC: The song fades for a moment.]

FR. BEN: Well, if you’re open to it, I’d just like to take a small step back here.

[MUSIC: The upbeat end credits song begins to play over the rest of the trailer.]

KLEM: I've tried to ignore you and sprint toward my own black hole of death, but I know moping when I see it.

FR. BEN: Your secret unfortunately is safe with me.

MITCHELL: Of course it was!

STEVE: I've never personally had a taste for killing, but in this area?

STACY: I at least should've been smart enough to see who he was becoming. Between his untold ambition... and the math.

FR. BEN: I mean, so he's a bit of a tool, but I'm still not seeing the big problem here.

BILL: And don’t get me wrong, Father, I’m not saying this out of some misplaced jealousy or... or anything so petty as that, I—

[MUSIC: The music abruptly cuts.] 

CLARA: Oh, wait—anyone mention me?

FR. BEN: You know I can’t talk about the confessions of others.

[MUSIC: The song comes back in softly, before bouncing back up to the regular tempo.]

DARLA: Then why should I do this? Give me one good reason.

FR. BEN: This is just a space for you to clear the docket. Sometimes getting out the little things can be just as refreshing as the really big stuff.

FR. KLEM: Or what? God will strike me down? He already tried once, the spineless bastard.

FR. BEN: I mean confession can be a great way to talk things through and connect with God, but if you really think you…

CLARA: BEN, SHE LEFT.

[MUSIC: The trailer ends on one final strum of an electric guitar.]
