:49:04
I knew we could work together.
:49:06
Gantry, uh... I just hope you don't
have any ideas about who's boss.

:49:10
Boss?
:49:12
Why, the boss is God.
I'm just his messenger boy.

:49:16
I'm sure God will be relieved.
:49:19
Yes.
:49:21
- Leave the money matters to me.
- If they get a guarantee, what do we get?

:49:25
- Why is cash necessary at all?
- Order!

:49:27
Gentlemen, without a guarantee,
a revival is impossible.

:49:30
Kee-rect!
:49:31
As chairman, I can say I want the revival,
but we're ministers, not financiers.

:49:37
- I agree. After all, $30,000...
- Will be raised.

:49:40
- How, Mr Babbitt?
- By decent, respectable people

:49:43
- who want to see old-time religion...
- I agree.

:49:45
- Please let me finish.
- Of course, George.

:49:47
- Thank you, Charlie.
- OK, then.

:49:49
Everybody knows that I contribute more
:49:52
to charity and poverty and things
than anybody, hm?

:49:56
Hey, now, didn't my real-estate company
give you that corner lot rent-free

:50:00
for your church baseball team, huh? Hm?
And I'm not even a Methodist!

:50:06
All right, then. I always say, business
is business - that's the American way!

:50:12
- Now, if you boys...
- Why do you want a revival in Zenith?

:50:15
Oh, I know what you're gettin' at, Phil.
You don't fool me for a second.

:50:19
- We're aware of the financial problems.
- Are we aware, sir?

:50:23
- My church hasn't been painted for years.
- Whose fault is that?

:50:26
What about the gymnasium?
:50:28
In my area, getting milk for
the children is the problem.

:50:31
Your problem is
empty churches, gentlemen.

:50:34
That is a fact.
:50:36
The fact is that church attendance
is falling off everywhere.

:50:40
Sister Falconer can fill your churches.
That's why you're here in the first place.

:50:44
- Kee-rect!
- Tea, Mr Babbitt?

:50:46
- I always say, if you're sick, call a doctor.
- I agree.

:50:50
Now, uh, let's look at
the record, gentlemen.

:50:53
Sister Sharon has been in Lincoln -
this is going on the fifth week now.

:50:57
275 new church members,
