1:18:05
- Say good night, George.
- Oh, this?

1:18:08
Well, we're just playing for chips -
you know, sociable.

1:18:12
- You takin' me for a ride or somethin'?
- To the publisher of the Times-DisPatch

1:18:16
- You got somethin' on him, too?
- I got you.

1:18:19
- Yeah, sure, but...
- It's getting late, George.

1:18:22
The point is, why did he write this trash,
and why did you publish it?

1:18:25
- Are you suggesting censorship, Miss?
- Only fair play.

1:18:28
- This is muckraking!
- Is it true?

1:18:31
- No!
- Then sue us for libel.

1:18:32
Oh, you're much too clever for that.
It's what you imply - the veiled slurs.

1:18:37
- Hints that I misused collection money.
- I never said that.

1:18:40
Did I ever preach anything
but God's word? Well? Did I?

1:18:44
- Are you ordained?
- What?

1:18:46
Do you hold a degree from any
recognised theological seminary?

1:18:50
- Does Gantry?
- No.

1:18:53
Are you sanctioned
to preach by any church?

1:18:56
No, Mr Lefferts, but... neither was Peter
or Paul or any of the other apostles.

1:19:01
Ah, but they said that they lived with
the Son of God, were taught by him,

1:19:05
were sanctified by him.
1:19:07
What gives you
the right to speak for God?

1:19:15
I couldn't possibly be doing
God's work without his approval.

1:19:18
How did you get his approval?
1:19:22
Did God speak to you personally?
1:19:27
Did he send you a letter?
1:19:30
Did you have a visitation from God?
1:19:33
A burning bush, perhaps?
1:19:37
Where in the New Testament does it say
that God spoke to anyone except his son?

1:19:45
But it does say in the First Corinthians
1:19:47
"Let your women
keep silence in the churches."

1:19:51
"It is a shame for women
to speak in the church."

1:19:54
Congratulations, Jim boy. I see you're
a student of the Bible. I'm delighted.

1:19:58
What is it? Are you responsible for some
of these crackpot calls I've been getting?
