:38:16
How dare you compare a bundle of myths
to the Holy Scriptures?
:38:27
These Kahuna superstitions
are dangerous, Keoki.
:38:31
Your task is to spread the word
of Almighty God.
:38:35
I have waited eight years
to spread it.
:38:38
And you have not ordained me yet.
:38:41
How long must I wait,
Reverend Hale?
:38:43
I'll answer you truthfully.
:38:46
For the present I have no plans
for ordaining you at all.
:38:52
- What do you hold against me?
- My dear Keoki.
:38:57
You're too young.
:38:58
I'm older than you
when you were ordained.
:39:00
Yes, but you must remember
that I grew up in a Christian family.
:39:05
- I was...
- A white man?
:39:13
If you wish to put it that way, yes.
:39:17
For over a hundred years,
:39:19
my ancestors fought that this church
might be established.
:39:23
Some of them died for it.
:39:25
I cannot wait 100 years,
Reverend Hale.
:39:29
I was the highest student
in the mission school in America.
:39:31
It was me and my words
that brought you here.
:39:40
That is correct.
:39:48
I've been thinking lately
:39:50
that our church is ready
for a board of deacons.
:39:53
I'm willing to make you
their head, Keoki.
:39:56
You would move among
the Hawaiians,
:39:58
find out who is smoking,
who has alcohol on his breath,
