What church? Well, uh, at present,
I don't exactly have a church, but...

:23:05
What is it this time, brother?
Booze or women?

:23:07
Why, Sister Falconer. Me?
:23:10
Whichever one it is,
you have my blessing. Jim?

:23:13
- Uh, Sister, I, uh...
- Nice try, brother.

:23:22
- Will prayer cure diabetes?
- Would you give me your address?

:23:26
- Sister?
- Just a moment.

:23:28
- What denomination?
- I must talk to you.

:23:30
- If you'll just leave your name.
- I have an important message for you.

:23:34
A message? From Sister Falconer?
:23:36
- I heard you sing last night.
- Oh?

:23:38
I know flattery don't mean much
to a talented person like you,

:23:42
but when you sang that
inspiring song "Beulah Land",

:23:44
it made me realise that music
is the voice of love.

:23:47
- Oh.
- And what is love?

:23:50
Love is the morning and the evening star.
:23:52
America. A land of great opportunity.
:23:55
Take me. I've been with the Central
States Appliance Company a year.

:23:59
I'm their crack salesman already. They
wanna make me a partner. It's a great life.

:24:03
Folks in 14 states know me by my
first name. Makes a fella feel humble.

:24:08
- Would you like to start with a cocktail?
- A cocktail in the middle of the day?

:24:12
Don't you know that drinkin' is sinful
and against the principles of Coolidge?

:24:17
I meant shrimp cocktail.
:24:18
Just bring us some of
Mother's apple pie and coffee.

:24:21
Yes, sir.
:24:23
I'm sorry.
:24:26
Tell me, when did you
first start servin' God?

:24:30
Two years ago. In Cato, Missouri. Sister
Sharon's gospel singer got hurt in a riot.

:24:35
A riot? In a Christian town like...
What was the name?

:24:39
Cato.
:24:40
Cato, Missouri. Yes, some roughnecks
started yellin' and screamin' and hollerin'.

:24:44
During the services?
:24:46
Sister Sharon yelled to a farmer on our
side "Hit him one for the Lord, brother!"

:24:51
Apple pie. They ought to write
a song about apple pie.

:24:54
A gospel song. And you should sing it.
