and thank heaven you can't see them -
:16:02
lewd, dirty, obscene...
:16:06
And I'm ashamed to say this.
:16:07
..French postcards.
:16:12
They were sold to me, in front of
your own innocent high school,

:16:16
by a man with a black beard. A foreigner!
:16:20
- Shocking!
- And last night...

:16:22
last night, right here on Main Street,
I was accosted by three painted women!

:16:29
- The tramps.
- Your streets are made unsafe

:16:32
by shameless, diseased hussies,
:16:34
raPacious PickPockets,
and insidious oPium-smokers

:16:39
And Elmer Gantry.
:16:45
This newspaper... this newspaper
says everybody's against me.

:16:49
The mildewed Methodists, Episcopalians,
and Baptists are against me.

:16:54
Even the ossified, petrified, horizontal,
:16:56
perpendicular Presbyterians
are against me!

:16:59
But this newspaper lies!
:17:02
Some of the preachers
might be against me.

:17:04
Unitarianism, Russellism,
Spiritualism - they hate me!

:17:09
And what hates me
most of all is Harvardism,

:17:12
Yaleism, and Princetonism!
:17:15
But you're some of God's best people.
:17:18
- And you don't hate me, do you?
- No!

:17:21
- Smack 'em down, preacher!
- Kill 'em! Murder 'em!

:17:30
Can you hear me, Jesus?
:17:34
I'd like you to save this
old friend of mine, Jim Lefferts,

:17:39
who's been writin' all these dirty, black
lies about me. But I'll warn you, Jesus.

:17:44
You better wear rubber gloves
and use a strong disinfectant.

:17:48
But if you can save sinner Jim...
I'd like for you to do it.

:17:52
What the hell's he trying to do?
