* Walts confession is pretty funny(though mixes with Tearjerker at the end)as he confesses his sins: kissing another woman at a Christmas party in 1978 while his wife was alive(though nothing else happened), that he didn't pay the taxes when he sold a boat and a motor(which was the same as stealing in his book)and that he never could connect with his sons after the war(a Tearjerker moment). Father Janovich listens, hearing nothing about the war and asks "Thats it?" Walts reaction of surprise at the sedate reaction is hilarious as well, giving the Father a glare through the screen and saying these were the things that bothered him his whole life.
