Would it be unethical to ask just what
you'll write about Sister Sharon?

:30:08
- It would.
- Oh?

:30:10
- I'm sorry.
- She's brilliant.

:30:12
"Inspired" is a more appropriate word.
:30:15
- It means "touched by the hand of God".
- Precisely.

:30:18
Now, get the picture.
:30:21
It's Christmas Eve. God's pure snow
driftin' down, and joy in the air.

:30:25
I enter the Schoenheim church
late at night to pray for guidance.

:30:29
And what do I find, right behind the altar?
:30:32
Lulu Bains, my betrothed, my bride-to-be,
:30:35
half-naked, locked in the arms of
her lover, a cardsharp from Chicago.

:30:42
A couple of years later he was bumped
off in a gang war, God rest his soul.

:30:46
Well, that's it, I guess.
I lost all interest in religion.

:30:50
But when I saw you,
it was like a call from beyond.

:30:52
Could I see you again?
Have breakfast with me?

:30:54
What's your hotel room number
in Lincoln, hm? Tell me.

:30:58
You're so completely... so outrageous.
I... I think I like you.

:31:04
I guess I've been around
sanctimonious folks too long.

:31:07
You're amusing,
and you smell like a real man.

:31:12
Yes, I'll meet you by my tent.
That's where I breakfast. Good night.

:31:15
- Oh, but, Sister...
- Oh, this time I mean it.

:31:20
Pleasant dreams.
:31:25
Evening, Brother Morgan. Oh, I wouldn't
bother her now. She's resting, poor child.

:31:37
The wind will come from there, so keep
the centre poles where you've got them.

:31:43
That way the canvas won't snap
and crackle all through the sermon.

:31:47
Here they come.
:31:51
Morning, Sister! Jim boy!
A lovely morning it is.

:31:53
- Good morning.
- I woke with a terrific idea.

:31:56
Later. Good morning, Captain.
:31:58
- You can't erect that tent here, ma'am.
- Why not?
