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.
1:19:01
When did I ever talk
like a minister?
1:19:04
Oh, you do it all the time.
1:19:07
I am talking exactly the same way I did
when we were in the nightclub.
1:19:10
And I'll tell you another thing.
I never mentioned God in the nightclub, did I?
1:19:14
No. l-I don't think so.
1:19:17
Have I ever mentioned him
in this racket?
1:19:19
Have you ever heard me do it?
Come on, come on. When did I do it?
1:19:22
- You haven't, but...
- No, I'll say I haven't.
1:19:24
I know what I'm doing.
I've read the Bible.
1:19:27
I can recite the Ten Commandments
backwards.
1:19:29
And I'll tell you
what the Third Commandment is too:
1:19:31
"Thou shalt not take the name
of the Lord, thy God, in vain."
1:19:34
A lot of people think that means swearing.
But I'll tell you what it means.
1:19:38
It means exactly
what you're talking about.
1:19:41
I'm not taking any chances, baby.
There's nothing to worry about.
1:19:44
There's no difference
between this and mentalism.
1:19:46
It's just another angle
of show business.
1:19:48
Wait a minute, mister.
You're not talking to one of your chumps.
1:19:52
You're talking to your wife. You're talking to
somebody who knows you red, white and blue.
1:19:57
And you can't fool me anymore.
1:19:59
There's only one way
I can stop you from doing this thing...
