:05:01
But not no more.
:05:05
I lost the spirit.
:05:09
I got nothing to preach about
no more, that's all.

:05:13
I ain't so sure of things.
:05:15
I remember you preaching a sermon
:05:18
walking around on your hands,
shoutin' your head off.

:05:22
Yeah, I remember.
:05:24
Went pretty good that way.
:05:27
But that was nothin'.
:05:29
I preached a whole sermon once
straddling the ridge pole of a barn.

:05:32
Like this.
:05:38
- Did you see that one?
- No.

:05:41
You didn't?
:05:44
Oh.
:05:46
Well, it's all gone anyway.
:05:49
You should have got yourself a wife.
:05:52
Why, at my meetings, I used to get the girls
a-glory-shoutin' till they about passed out.

:05:58
Then I'd go to comfort 'em.
:06:00
I'd always end up by loving 'em.
:06:03
I'd feel bad and pray and pray,
but it didn't do no good.

:06:07
Next time do it again.
:06:10
I figured I just wasn't worth saving.
:06:13
Pa always says you was never
cut out for no preacher.

:06:17
I never let one get by me if I could catch her.
Have a snort?

:06:21
But you wasn't a preacher.
A girl was just a girl to you.

:06:26
To me they's holy vessels.
:06:30
I was saving their souls.
:06:34
I asked myself,
what is this here called holy spirit?

:06:39
Maybe that's love.
:06:41
Why, I love everybody so much
I'm fit to burst sometimes.

:06:48
So... maybe there ain't no sin
and there ain't no virtue.

:06:53
It's just what people does.
:06:59
Some things folks do is nice
and some ain't so nice.
