Store front, apartment in rear.
Owner: George F Babbitt.
:03:06
Business...
:03:09
- Business: prostitution.
- On my property?
:03:13
- Well, I'll have them evicted.
- Of course. Of course.
:03:16
You've been victimised, George.
:03:19
- Same as me.
- Yeah.
:03:22
Evening, boys. Never bet into an open
pair... unless you've got the lock!
:03:29
- Say good night, George.
- Oh, this?
:03:31
Well, we're just playing for chips -
you know, sociable.
:03:36
- You takin' me for a ride or somethin'?
- To the publisher of the Times-DisPatch
:03:40
- You got somethin' on him, too?
- I got you.
:03:43
- Yeah, sure, but...
- It's getting late, George.
:03:46
The point is, why did he write this trash,
and why did you publish it?
:03:49
- Are you suggesting censorship, Miss?
- Only fair play.
:03:52
- This is muckraking!
- Is it true?
:03:54
- No!
- Then sue us for libel.
:03:56
Oh, you're much too clever for that.
It's what you imply - the veiled slurs.
:04:00
- Hints that I misused collection money.
- I never said that.
:04:03
Did I ever preach anything
but God's word? Well? Did I?
:04:07
- Are you ordained?
- What?
:04:10
Do you hold a degree from any
recognised theological seminary?
:04:13
- Does Gantry?
- No.
:04:16
Are you sanctioned
to preach by any church?
:04:20
No, Mr Lefferts, but... neither was Peter
or Paul or any of the other apostles.
:04:24
Ah, but they said that they lived with
the Son of God, were taught by him,
:04:28
were sanctified by him.
:04:31
What gives you
the right to speak for God?
:04:38
I couldn't possibly be doing
God's work without his approval.
:04:42
How did you get his approval?
:04:46
Did God speak to you personally?
:04:51
Did he send you a letter?
:04:54
Did you have a visitation from God?
:04:56
A burning bush, perhaps?
