- Ah.
- Gee, I hope not.

1:13:02
- Break it up. A party of johns want action.
- Keep readin', honey.

1:13:05
- But, Lulu, they'll be right over.
- Drop dead!

1:13:08
- Cigarette me, Pete, honey.
- Honey, read!

"To Elmer Gantry, God is an all-American
football player with a long white beard,

1:13:17
who carries lightning in one hand,
and a bag of tricks in the other."

1:13:22
"And Gantry has the high-pressure
style and personality to sell this God

1:13:26
even to big-city slickers."
1:13:29
"He can make
innocent people feel guilty...

1:13:33
and bad people feel good."
1:13:36
"Gantry has a voice made for promises."
1:13:38
- Can he save anybody?
- Can he?

1:13:44
Can he? Anywhere, any time.
1:13:48
In a tent, standin' up,
layin' down, or any other way.

1:13:52
And he's got plenty of ways!
1:13:55
Lulu? Was you saved
by him, Lulu, honey?

1:13:58
Sister, I was saved by him
way back in Schoenheim, Kansas.

1:14:02
"Love... love is the mornin'
and the evenin' star."

1:14:07
"And what is love?
Not the carnal, but the divine love!"

1:14:12
Oh, he gave me special instructions
back of the pulpit Christmas Eve.

1:14:16
He got to howlin' "Repent. Repent!"
1:14:18
And I got to moanin' "Save me. Save me."
1:14:21
He rammed the fear of God into me so
fast I never heard my old man's footsteps.

1:14:26
The next thing I knew, I was out in the
cold, hard snow in my bare little soul.

1:14:33
Oh, Brother Gantry, save me!
