1:17:01
- Walking out on me, huh?
- Look, Stan.

1:17:04
Anytime you wanna go back
into show business...

1:17:06
Yeah, you and all that talk
of yours about love.

1:17:08
You were going to be
such a good wife to me.

1:17:10
I've tried to be.
You know I'd do anything.

1:17:13
Sure, sure. Anything in the world for me.
Or to me.

1:17:17
- What do you mean, "to you"?
- What are you doing now?

1:17:19
What do you think the newspapers will say
when they find out about this?

1:17:22
- "Wife quits miracle worker."
- I won't say anything.

1:17:24
You can tell them
I've gone to visit some friends.

1:17:27
No, they'll follow you. They'll get it
out of Bruno or some of the others.

1:17:30
Honey, look.
It's not me that I'm thinking about.

1:17:32
But what about this poor guy Grindle?
What's gonna happen to him?

1:17:35
Mrs. Peabody,
all those other people that I've helped.

1:17:38
Look. Look at these.
Hundreds of them every day.

1:17:41
Simple, honest, little people who believe in me.
They say I've given them hope.

1:17:45
I'm not worrying about them.
They're gonna be all right.

1:17:47
But you won't.
1:17:50
You've got to stop it.
Do you hear?

1:17:52
You've got to, Stan,
or I'll make you.

1:17:56
I will walk out on you.
1:17:59
Are you crazy?
1:18:02
No, I'm not crazy.
Just plain scared.

1:18:06
Scared?
Of what?

1:18:08
I don't know.
I can't explain it.

1:18:11
But I feel...
Well, you're going against God.

1:18:14
How do you figure that?
1:18:17
Do you think I'd be getting
all those letters?

1:18:19
That's what makes it so terrible.
1:18:22
Everything you say and do
is so true and wonderful...

1:18:24
and you make it sound
so sacred and holy...

1:18:27
when all the time
it's just a gag with you.

1:18:29
You'rejust laughing your head off
at those chumps.

1:18:32
You think God's gonna stand for that?
1:18:35
Do you want him
to strike you dead?

1:18:37
You can't do it, Stan.
1:18:39
Nobody's ever done it.
Never!

1:18:42
Now, honey, don't get yourself all worked up
about nothing.

1:18:45
I've gone over this in my mind
a hundred times.

1:18:48
If anybody comes back, they're not gonna
get all steamed up because we fake a little.

1:18:52
Another thing. I've met a lot of these
spook workers. They're all hustlers just like me.

1:18:56
I didn't see one of them
wearing a lightning rod.

1:18:58
But they don't act like you do.
They don't talk like ministers.
