Denis O'Hare: Archbishop McCarthy

Quotes 

• Reverend Mother : The memos sent over from your office used the word "suggestion" in regards to all these changes we're suddenly...

  Archbishop McCarthy : [laughs]  Well, that's amusing. I think you're the only one to miss the subtext there. You see, for most of us, the word "suggestion" is understood as synonymous with "obligation".

  Reverend Mother : Perhaps I'm not all that attuned to subtext.

  [Puts her right fist to her chest and bows] 

  Reverend Mother : My apologies.
