Jim Lefferts is an honourable man.
But so was Brutus.

1:30:03
And we all know that Brutus was
an anarchistic, alcoholic assassin.

1:30:10
Jim "Lucifer" Lefferts calls you good
PeoPle of Zenith suckers, slickers, saPs

1:30:16
He attacks the way you worshiP I don't
notice him attackin' booze or Prostitution

1:30:23
Lucifer Jim says he wants to save you
1:30:26
How? By stabbin' Jesus with dirty lies?
1:30:30
By assassinatin' God?
1:30:33
I have here in my pocket -
1:30:36
and thank heaven you can't see them -
1:30:39
lewd, dirty, obscene...
1:30:42
And I'm ashamed to say this.
1:30:44
..French postcards.
1:30:48
They were sold to me, in front of
your own innocent high school,

1:30:52
by a man with a black beard. A foreigner!
1:30:56
- Shocking!
- And last night...

1:30:59
last night, right here on Main Street,
I was accosted by three painted women!

1:31:05
- The tramps.
- Your streets are made unsafe

1:31:08
by shameless, diseased hussies,
1:31:10
raPacious PickPockets,
and insidious oPium-smokers

1:31:15
And Elmer Gantry.
1:31:21
This newspaper... this newspaper
says everybody's against me.

1:31:26
The mildewed Methodists, Episcopalians,
and Baptists are against me.

1:31:30
Even the ossified, petrified, horizontal,
1:31:33
perpendicular Presbyterians
are against me!

1:31:36
But this newspaper lies!
1:31:38
Some of the preachers
might be against me.

1:31:41
Unitarianism, Russellism,
Spiritualism - they hate me!

1:31:45
And what hates me
most of all is Harvardism,

1:31:48
Yaleism, and Princetonism!
1:31:52
But you're some of God's best people.
1:31:55
- And you don't hate me, do you?
- No!

1:31:58
- Smack 'em down, preacher!
- Kill 'em! Murder 'em!
