- Just let her rip, I guess.
- I've heard powerful Bible-wallopers,

:42:08
but you not only put the fear of God
into them, you scared the hell out of 'em.

:42:12
And the way you strung certain words
together - "America, home, mother".

:42:16
"Heaven, hell... Love, hate, sin".
:42:19
You know, it's a funny thing, Jim.
I get up here and I... I see them out there.

:42:26
Next thing you know,
I'm howlin', they're moanin'.

:42:29
It's like a mighty spirit
movin' inside of me.

:42:32
Words and ideas come pourin' out
like... like riled-up strangers.

:42:37
I feel so powerful and full of love,
I'm about to explode.

:42:41
I do explode.
:42:43
And then I just about love everybody
:42:49
Especially the giris.
:42:54
Yes, this is where I belong, all right.
Right here, in religion.

:42:59
Even if it is a tent.
:43:01
Every circus needs a clown,
Brother Gantry.

:43:03
And you might turn out to be the funniest
clown of 'em all. And the most successful.

:43:10
Clown!
:43:12
Jim boy, you're terrific. Terrific.
:43:21
Some of them smart-aleck college
professors are trying to prove

:43:24
that this here ape is your
great-great-grandfather.

:43:27
Come back here. Let folks see you.
:43:30
Well, he might be Darwin's uncle,
but he certainly ain't yours or mine.

:43:34
Right, Grandpop?
:43:53
Just a monkey, folks. Just a monkey.
:43:57
Would Jesus play poker?
