:48:02
The mob don't like
their gods to be human.

:48:05
- They hurt you?
- Not as much as you hurt me.

:48:08
Nothing personal.
:48:11
What'll you do now?
:48:14
Well, the way I got it figured, you're up,
you're down, you sin, you're saved.

:48:18
You do the best you can,
and you leave the rest to the Lord.

:48:21
You really do believe
in the Lord, don't you?

:48:24
Damn right I do. It does a man good
to get down on his knees once in a while.

:48:29
That's why people
come to a place like this,

:48:31
because they're scared, or sick,
or... because they got no money,

:48:36
or too much money.
Or before a war, or after a war.

:48:42
Praying's the cheapest
first-rate medicine I know.

:48:46
That's why Shara was so good for them.
:48:50
She's a lotta woman.
:48:55
Yeah.
:48:58
You oughta marry her.
:49:00
- You believe in holy matrimony?
- I can recommend it, never having tried it.

:49:06
Too late now, Jim boy.
:49:09
Maybe not.
:49:12
Miss Bains was waiting for me
at the paper with that story.

:49:28
- How'd you get her to do it?
- I didn't.

:49:33
The Lord sure moves in mysterious ways.
:49:42
Any minute now, you will hear
the voice of Sister Sharon Falconer,

:49:47
but not that, I'm afraid, of Elmer Gantry.
:49:49
For Mr Gantry has completely vanished
since three nights ago.

:49:53
I've checked the police,
hospitals, railroads, bus depots...

:49:56
Where is he? Where?
:49:58
Every wire service in the country's asking
the same question. He's page-one news.
