2:02:01
goodbye.
2:02:03
Amen.
2:02:06
Jim boy!
2:02:07
You look like a man
who could use a drink.

2:02:10
Booze. You know somethin', Jim?
There oughta be a law against drinkin'.

2:02:16
- There is. Prohibition.
- That's against sellin', not drinkin'.

2:02:19
Amen.
2:02:21
- Happy days!
- I'll drink to that.

2:02:26
God, that's good.
2:02:30
Would you look at this place, Jim?
2:02:35
What were they so mad about, anyhow?
2:02:38
The mob don't like
their gods to be human.

2:02:42
- They hurt you?
- Not as much as you hurt me.

2:02:45
Nothing personal.
2:02:48
What'll you do now?
2:02:50
Well, the way I got it figured, you're up,
you're down, you sin, you're saved.

2:02:54
You do the best you can,
and you leave the rest to the Lord.

2:02:58
You really do believe
in the Lord, don't you?

2:03:01
Damn right I do. It does a man good
to get down on his knees once in a while.

2:03:05
That's why people
come to a place like this,

2:03:08
because they're scared, or sick,
or... because they got no money,

2:03:13
or too much money.
Or before a war, or after a war.

2:03:18
Praying's the cheapest
first-rate medicine I know.

2:03:22
That's why Shara was so good for them.
2:03:27
She's a lotta woman.
2:03:31
Yeah.
2:03:34
You oughta marry her.
2:03:37
- You believe in holy matrimony?
- I can recommend it, never having tried it.

2:03:43
Too late now, Jim boy.
2:03:46
Maybe not.
2:03:49
Miss Bains was waiting for me
at the paper with that story.
