1:01:02
Yes.
1:01:04
Well, now that you've brought it up,
1:01:07
I must confess I have come for
a purpose - an unhappy one, I'm afraid.
1:01:11
It doesn't look as if
we accomplish anything, but in time...
1:01:14
Time, I'm afraid,
is what we can no longer afford.
1:01:18
My good friends,
after careful deliberation,
1:01:21
headquarters has decided
to close this branch of the mission.
1:01:24
- Close the mission?
- No, General. Please!
1:01:28
Even if I haven't made a success of it,
someone will.
1:01:31
Sarah Brown, if you can't
attract sinners, nobody can.
1:01:35
There are so many calls on us. So many
other places where our work is needed.
1:01:41
How do you do?
1:01:43
- I don't believe we've met, Brother...?
- Brother Sky Masterson. Former sinner.
1:01:48
I am General Cartwright,
regional director of Save-A-Soul.
1:01:52
- Why isn't his name on the report?
- What were you doing in there?
1:01:56
I was resting, Sister Sarah.
I was going to ask Brother Arvide
1:02:00
if he might let me carry the drum
when we go out again this afternoon.
1:02:04
On behalf of former sinners of the future,
I protest the closing of this mission.
1:02:08
- General, I think I should explain to you...
- Sarah, this man has a right to be heard.
1:02:13
Continue, Brother Sky.
1:02:17
General, would you be open
to a proposition?
1:02:21
The general is flying back to Boston. She
will not be available for dinner tonight.
1:02:26
Sarah, what are you talking about?
1:02:29
- What have you got in mind, young man?
- Faith in Sister Sarah.
1:02:33
I ask you to give her 36 hours to show
that she can make this mission pay off.
1:02:37
Saving souls should not be
referred to as paying off.
1:02:41
- Why 36 hours?
- Because he knows our big meeting,
1:02:45
36 hours from now,
will be a great success.
1:02:48
Uncle Arvide!
1:02:49
But how can you guarantee that,
Brother Sky?
1:02:54
Well, let's just say
I have a feeling about it.
1:02:58
"If sinners entice thee, consent thou not."
That's the wrong thought.
