Pope Jack the First
A Screenplay ©1999 by Patt Shea and Bud Wiser
The year was 1294. The College of Cardinals was deadlocked, unable to elect a pope. Desperate, the cardinals plucked a simple monk, Peter of Morrone, from his secluded mountaintop abbey, rode him into Rome on the back of a donkey, and elected him pontiff. It could happen again.

PETER JENNINGS
...and so we continue to wait for the traditional puff of white smoke...
DAN RATHER
(same background)...the age old signal that a new pope has been elected.
TOM BROKAW
(same b.g)Never has the world's attention been more focused on the selection of St. Peter's successor. Who thought that after such a short time the cardinals would be at it again?
JENNINGS
...The death of the last pope after serving such a short time was a shock to the world.
BROKAW
(Rather's voice lip synched)Whoever the new pope is, it will fall to him to lead the world's more than one billion Catholics into the new century and the new millennium.
RATHER
(Jennings' voice)...as we gather on this grim, gray December day, the twenty-first century is fast approaching.
JENNINGS
(Jane Pauley's voice)The third millennium is less than a month away.
ST. PETER'S SQUARE
A YOUNG MAN IN THE CROWD
YOUNG MAN
(pointing up, excited)
Is that smoke? White smoke?
The crowd gazes up. The young man busies himself, picking pockets with both hands.
A phalanx of motorcycles leads a stretch limo on to the Vatican grounds. Its side is emblazoned with the papal crest. The press surges after it. The car pulls up to the papal palace. CARDINAL ANTHONY FALCONARI, papal secretary of state, and his aide, MONSIGNOR RATIGAN, emerge. They push through the crowd and up the stairs. The media close in on their prey.
REPORTERS
Your Eminence! Your Eminence! When will we have a new pope?
Falconari stops at the top of the steps, turns and looks down on his pursuers. He stands erect, rigid actually in his crimson robe. He has been playing a cardinal for 25 years. He plays it well. He raises one hand slightly and waits.
FALCONARI
Soon. Soon. The cardinals are back in conclave.
Pray for them.ANOTHER REPORTER
It's been four months.
FALCONARI
The Holy Spirit works in his own time.
ANOTHER REPORTER
Cardinal Falconari. There's are rumors that delay is caused by financial crisis in the Church.
FALCONARI pretends not to hear. He strides into the building, crimson cape flowing.
DAN RATHER
...Rumors run rampant in this Vatican City.
BROKAW
...Insiders say three of the top contenders have withdrawn their names from consideration.
RATHER
...Poor health is the reason given. Rumor has it that the financial problems the new pontiff will have to face is the real reason.
INT. VATICAN FOYER AND HALLWAYS
Falconari strides along. Ratigan keeps pace. MONSIGNOR CHARLES THOREAU, Vatican press officer, swings out of his office and hurries to catch up. He's 45, Madison Avenue in a cassock. They exchange "good mornings."
FALCONARI
When will we have a pope? When? I wish I knew.
Ratigan shrugs.
FALCONARI (CONT'D)
This should have been my time. I've
served under two popes. But no. Not now...Ratigan nods, "Yes."
THOREAU
The press knows we've got a problem, Your
Eminence. They can smell it.FALCONARI
Get them off our backs, Thoreau. You're
the press officer. Issue a statement.Thoreau looks at him.
FALCONARI (CONT'D)
Take somebody to lunch. Isn't that what you do?
THOREAU
And what do I say? "Funny thing, nobody
wants to be pope."Falconari charges down the hallway, gesturing angrily.
FALCONARI
There's much at stake. These are crucial decisions we're confronted with.
INTERIOR VATICAN – LATER
TWO SWISS GUARDS stand alongside a heavy door. A sign on the door: "SACRED COLLEGE OF CARDINALS"
INT. CARDINALS CONCLAVE –
We're inside a CHAMBER with 120 CARDINALS.
ON CARDINAL MARTINEZ
He stands with a folder, a pencil. He leans into another cardinal.
CARDINAL MARTINEZ
(exasperated)You've got to decide something. Make up your mind.
CARDINAL 2
Okay. Okay.
He hands the menu in.
CARDINAL MARTINEZ
(writing)All right, that's forty five orders of dumplings. Thirty orders of chicken salad.
He turns to a third cardinal.
CARDINAL 1
Your eminence?
No answer. He's engrossed in a book.
CARDINAL MARTINEZ
Your Eminence!
(louder)
Cardinal Kalophski
CARDINAL KALOPHSKI continues reading his book. We see the book's logo, a stylized Celtic picture of a flying bird and the title:
"THE FLYING GOOSE NEVER LOOKS BACK" BY FATHER PATRICK
MARTINEZ
Karl!
CARDINAL KALOPHSKI
(looking up)Anything. A double cheeseburger, French fries… and a Diet Coke.
Karl turns to CARDINAL ISHIHARA who is reading the same book – in Japanese, Karl points to a page. Ishihara flips to it. They laugh. Ishihara turns to ANOTHER CARDINAL, who's reading an Arabic edition. He points to the page. OTHERS lean over. They each have copies of the book in their own language. They laugh and nod their approval.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Several Cardinals are either meditating or napping. Many are still reading "THE FLYING GOOSE." Next to Cardinal Falconari is ERNESTO CARDINAL GANELLI. He's stuffing his face with pastry. Falconari leans in.
FALCONARI
This isn't a book club. All they've done for weeks is read and re-read that book.
GANNELLI gulps the final bite of pastry and wipes his fingers on his cassock. He tries to swallow.
GANNELLI
I know, Your Eminence. It's frustrating, discouraging actually.
He hustles to stuff papers into his briefcase. A copy of the Goose Book clatters to the floor. Falconari glares at him.
GANNELLI
(babbling)I'm only reading it out of curiosity… to see what all the fuss is about. Everybody's reading it. It's a best seller.
FALCONARI
(coldly)I don't want a book review, Gannelli. I want a pope.
GANNELLI
Father Patrick gives a spin to modern theology. Listen. "How can you look at an artichoke and not believe in God?"
Falconari just half listens.
FAlCONARI
The media are getting too nosey. I don't want to have to tell them that nobody wants the job because we're facing financial ruin and scandal.
Snatches an Abba-Zabba bar out of his briefcase.
FALCONARI (CONT'D)
Maybe you'd like to tell them that?
GANELLI
No, no...
FALCONARI
Well, Cardinal Ganelli, as Vatican treasurer, it seems that would be your responsibility.
GANELLI
You're right. We have to find somebody fast.
FALCONARI
Tonight in my office. I want every member of the nominating committee… But first …
(takes Ganelli's book)CONTINUED:
We're getting every copy of this book out of this conclave. ON STACKS OF "THE WILD GOOSE NEVER LOOKS BACK"
Half a dozen cardinals are seated around the table. Monsignor Thoreau stands behind Falconari's chair. The committee is studying 8x10 glossies of candidates. It's a Hollywood casting session.
FALCONARI
(taking glossy from his briefcase)
Aldo Cardinal Baccaloni.They all look at him.
CARDINAL MARTINEZ
He's so old! He's losing it.
GANELLI
Past tense. He's lost it.
FALCONARI
Aldo Baccaloni buys us time. A little time.
We can handle him. He's very devout. We tell him it's God's will, he won't dare say "no."ISHIHARA
Well, he does look holy!
They pass the glossy around.
THOREAU
You want "holy?" Take a look at this guy.
He hold up the book. Points to author's picture.
PHOTOGRAPH OF FATHER PATRICK
A very ascetic looking monk, heavily bearded. His cowl shrouds his face. He could be 70. He stands amidst a flock of sheep.
THOREAU
Put a bird on his shoulder and you've got St.Francis.
Falconari snatches the book out of Thoreau's hand and tosses it back on the pile.
ISHIHARA
He's not even a cardinal.
THOREAU
We've had a lot of popes who weren't cardinals.
(leaning into Falconari)
You want to get the media off our fannies?
Give "em a big story.FALCONARI
Monsignor, we don't have time.
THOREAU
We want somebody who's not going to give us any trouble, right?
Falconari gestures dismissively.
THOREAU (CONT'D)
This Father Patrick has been holed up in an Irish monastery for God-knows-how many years. He's clueless!
FALCONARI
We're not electing some Irish monk!
THOREAU
He's not Irish. He's American, from Erie, Pennsylvania.
Falconari glares at him.
FALCONARI
We're not electing some American monk.
GANELLI
America,that's where the big bucks are.
FALCONARI
This is the same man who told us the big bucks were in derivatives.
GANELLI
One little mistake. Who knew the yen was
going to tank?Falconari takes the picture.
FALCONARI
Aldo Cardinal Baccaloni is our man. He
won't give us any trouble.Thoreau and Ganelli have lost.
GANELLI
He's not going to get us a plugged nickel from the Americans.
FALCONARI
(to Ganelli)Ernesto, you were Cardinal Baccaloni's
student in the seminary. You have the
honor of telling him.INT. VATICAN CORRIDOR – DAY
Falconari, Thoreau and Ratigan walk along a wide corridor.
FALCONARI
We just congratulate him, pledge our
loyalty and ask for his blessing.
Cardinal Ganelli exits a room and walks toward them.
FALCONARI
Did you tell him?
GANELLI
I told him.
THOREAU
How'd he take it?
GANELLI
Not well.
The door re-opens. TWO MEDICS wheel a gurney past the group.
A sheet covers the body. A red cap rests on the sheet covering the body. They look at Ganelli. He shrugs.
FALCONARI
Baccaloni?
GANELLI
Baccaloni.
THOREAU
And that leaves Father Patrick.
FALCONARI
(cynically)If you think you can sell your Father
Patrick to the Sacred College of Cardinals, good luck!
INT. CONCLAVE OF CARDINALS
Falconari glares across the room as Ganelli shows the picture on the Goose Book to a cardinal and whispers in his ear. Martinez and Ishihara do the same. The cardinals look up incredulously. They whisper to three others. Those three whisper to three others… etc. etc. Father Patrick's picture is passed around. There are cries of “Yes, yes!" "Si!" "Oui" etc. Applause breaks out. Congratulations are exchanged. Falconari is stunned.
EXT. ST. PETER'S SQUARE – DAY
A white puff of smoke rises. The crowd cheers.
CROWD
(various languages)
We have a pope! We have a pope!
A pope! Viva il papa!We move in on the puff of smoke.
EXT/ WHITE FOG –
The fog lifts revealing a distant hill-top abbey in the Irish countryside. A monk stands at the bottom of the hill. His back is to us. Sheep graze nearby. FATHER PATRICK stops and looks up the crest of the hill.
FR. PATRICKS POINT OF VIEW
A little red cap appears over the crest of the hill, then another and another. Under each cap is a red robe. An army of cardinals swarms over the crest of the hill. They walk toward him.
ON LINE OF CARDINALS
They approach. They kneel and say something. The monk crumples in a faint. The cardinals pick him up and, in an orderly procession, carry him off over the hill.EXT. THE ABBEY –
Father Patrick stumbles toward a line of limousines. His hair and beard are very long. He carries a small duffel bag. In a daze, he waves goodbye. A DOZEN OTHER MONKS look on, dumbfounded. Father Patrick hugs an old monk, MICHAEL FITZGERALD. Patrick gets in the limo and looks out the rear window as the abbey recedes. FITZGERALD gazes dumb struck after the disappearing cars.
EXT. PAPAL JET PLANE IN FLIGHT
In each window we see a little red beret. In the last window, we see white – the face of Father Patrick staring out.
EXT. ROME AIRPORT – NIGHT
The plane lands.
EXT. ROME STREETS – NIGHT
The papal caravan winds through the city.
INT. PAPAL LIMOUSINE
Patrick stares in awe at the sights of Rome.
EXT. VATICAN – NIGHT
The limousine pulls up to the papal palace. The cheering mob crowds in. The media and the paparazzi surge forward with microphones and cameras. Father Patrick steps out of the car into blinding light and chaos. He still wears the robes of a simple monk. FALCONARI steps forward as others hustle him into the building. Patrick stops,smiles uncertainly, and gives a hesitant "two thumbs up."
FALCONARI
Please. Please. The new pontiff has had a grueling trip. Tomorrow, after the installation, he'll have a few words. Thank you. Thank you.
The media push forward, but Patrick is gone.

SCHEERER
...who was taken from his hermitage and crowned Pope Celestine the Fifth. That was in 1294.
INT. POPE'S PRIVATE QUARTERS – NIGHT
The rooms are palatial, ornate and dreary. The walls are covered with dark religious paintings and faded tapestries.
This I a palace from ages past. Papal robes are hung on stands. Patrick gazes around as he's led across the room by the Vatican hierarchy. He's totally overwhelmed.
FALCONARI
(pointing everything out)These are your private quarters.
They move through a set of double doors.
FALCONARI (CONT'D)
And this is one of your reception areas.
John the Twenty Third's favorite.THOREAU
You'll meet heads of state here. President Kennedy sat on that couch.
Patrick studies a particularly gloomy portrait.
FALCONARI
(reverentially)
Fourteenth century. St. John the Apostle.PATRICK
How can you tell?
Falconari just looks at him.
THOREAU
Any questions, Holy Father?
PATRICK
Just one...
Patrick walks around the room. He touches things.
PATRICK (CONT'D)
Why me?
FALCONARI
It was the will of the Holy Spirit.
PATRICK
But I don't know how to be pope.
FALCONARI
The Holy Spirit will guide you, as he
guided the cardinals who elected you.
Trust him. And, trust us.
Thoreau hands Patrick a few stapled papers.
THOREAU
Here's the schedule for tomorrow's
investiture.PATRICK
(panicked)
Tomorrow?FALCONARI
The world is anxious to see its new pope.
THOREAU
We've actually delayed it a few hours,
Holy Father
Patrick looks at him.
THOREAU (CONT'D)
So we can go live on the "Today Show,"
DISSOLVE
Int. POPE;S QUARTERS –
ON A JEWEL CASE CONTAINING SEVERAL CROSSES
A hand picks one up.
GANELLI (VOICE OVER)
This was first worn by Pope Clement the Ninth.
Ganelli hands the cross to Patrick.
PATRICK
These are diamonds.
GANELLI
And sapphires.
Patrick drops the piece back in the box,
PATRICK
I couldn't wear that.
FALCONARI
It's tradition. It's a symbol of the
office. It's like your shepherd's staff.
FALCONARI hands the shepherd's staff to the pontiff. Patrick checks it for balance and breaks into a fancy twirling routine, The others look on in surprise.
PATRICK
That was my last job … herding sheep,
He leans the staff against the wall.
PATRICK (CONT'D)
Ah, I don't think I could carry this.
GANELLI
But, it's the historic sign of the papacy.
PATRICK
Yeah, but people really aren't sheep, are they?
They do not answer.
PATRICK
And do you have to call me "Holy Father?"
THOREAU
After tomorrow, you will be "His Holiness, Pope Gregory the Seventeenth."
FALCONARI
The synod thought it appropriate. Gregory Sixteenth was pope, in 1999, before the Second Millennium.
PATRICK
I thought I go with my own name. If that's all right.
They exchange glances.
FALCONARI
Of course, "Patrick." "Pope Patrick." We've n never had a Pope Patrick.
PATRICK
No. "Father Patrick" is my pen name. My real name is "Jack."
GANELLI
Oh, Pope John the
(he thinks)
...Twenty-fourth?PATRICK
No. Not John. "Jack."
FALCONARI
"Jack?"
PATRICK
Jack Cleary. That's my real name.
GANELLI
"Pope Jack The First?"
Jack smiles. The group is speechless.
PATRICK
Well, good night.

Falconari is in shock.

REGIS AND KATHY LEE are fifty feet or so above the procession route. It's the Rose Parade set up. And they do pre-Rose Parade commentary.

REGIS
Not too crisp. It's perfect. Perfect,

Ann flips up the goggles and switches off the machine. She glances up at the wall clock.

EXT. NEW YORK STREETS
CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS EVERYWHERE
Ann tries frantically to get a cab. The city is at a standstill. Gridlock. Crowds watch portable TV's and monitors in store windows. Images of the coronation circle the Times' Building. Ann dashes along the streets. We catch glimpses of the ceremony on TV monitors.

El Papa.
ANN
(in Spanish)
It's okay, Maria. Sit down. Watch your pope.Ann glances at the monitor. St. Peter's Square is jammed.
ANN'S POV
COMMENTATOR (V.O.)

being cheered by the crowds.

Ann reels back and collapses into a chair. She points at the monitor, speechless.
CLEANING LADY
Si, El Papa. El Papa.
ANN
(gasping)
He can't be the pope. That's my husband!
And of course he is. And that is the dilemma and the story. Gradually, we learn that Jack and Ann are each sure that the other is dead… killed in a Central American uprising. Without telling anyone her secret, Ann flies to Rome. She wants her husband back. Now the pope too has a secret… and a dilemma that is unique in the history of the modern papacy.
The film is a love story unlike any other… a romantic comedy set in the Vatican.
The premise is simple. The pope has a wife no one knows about. What does he do? What would you do?
