:08:02
Thy first turn's at the crossroads.
Bear right for three miles.

:08:06
Is thee preaching there this morning?
:08:08
- Who's preaching there?
- Thee?

:08:10
- Who?
- Thee.

:08:12
Me?
:08:14
That's a dandy!
Son, I'm not a man of the cloth.

:08:17
I sell organs.
:08:19
Now, what in thunderation is all this
thee-ing and thou-ing about?

:08:22
Bible talk to honor the Sabbath?
:08:24
No, we talk that way weekdays too.
:08:27
Excuse me, but it sounds mighty queer.
:08:30
Who's "we"?
:08:31
Quakers.
:08:33
Quakers! Have you folks
got a church around here?

:08:36
Yes, we call it a Meeting House.
It's just beyond the Methodist Church.

:08:40
Hast thou an organ in thine
Meeting House, friend?

:08:43
We don't hold with music playing.
:08:45
What, no organ?
:08:47
Dear me! Why, a church
without an organ...

:08:50
...is like a tree without a bird.
:08:52
Wait till I talk
to that minister of yours.

:08:54
He'll never be content
until he buys an organ.

:08:58
I wish thee luck with the preacher.
:09:00
That's three miles over, take
the main road, turn right. I got it.

:09:04
Thank you.
:09:05
Thee.
:09:06
Get up!
:09:09
Now look, Mildred...
:09:10
...there is a horse!
:09:13
- I'm going by Caleb's, Pa.
- All right, son.

:09:20
Red Rover, that man
paid thee a compliment.

:09:23
If he only knew.
:09:30
Listen, Red, just don't slow down...
:09:33
...when thee hears Sam Jordan
coming behind us...

:09:36
...and, by sugar, we'll stay
out in front today.

:09:39
- Thee say something, Jess?
- I was just soothing Red Rover.

:09:43
If thee talked as much to the Almighty
as thee does to that horse...

:09:47
...thee might stand more squarely
in the light.

:09:50
Sounds like thy sermon's
already begun, Eliza.

:09:52
Why, Jess!
I thought thee liked my preaching.

:09:56
Now, Eliza, thee has the prettiest
pulpit voice I ever heard.
