:47:01
about bringing your revival to our fair city
of Zenith, capital of America's Midwest?"
:47:06
"Kindly telegraph reply immediately.
Signed, George F Babbitt, Secretary,
:47:10
Zenith Chamber of Commerce,
Chairman of the Church Board."
:47:14
Zenith.
:47:14
- We're not ready for Zenith.
- Mr Babbitt thinks we are.
:47:17
I know we are. Next stop, Zenith.
Then Chicago, New York, London.
:47:21
Straight to the top
on the Sharon Falconer Express!
:47:23
- In a tent? They'll laugh at us.
- Not at Shara.
:47:26
It's pitchman's talk. What do you know
about the background of our work?
:47:30
The nature of revivalism is rural.
It grew out of frontier life.
:47:33
- Big-city people are more cynical...
- They're more sinful, too.
:47:36
And more lonely
and more unhappy. And...
:47:39
And, Shara, they need you more.
:47:44
- I'm against this.
- Bill boy, you're an old sourpuss.
:47:47
- This is a passport to the Promised Land.
- Gantry, I am not your boy.
:47:51
You deluded her, but to me,
everything about you's offensive.
:47:55
You're a crude, vulgar show-off, and
your vocabulary belongs in an outhouse.
:48:08
Crude.
:48:10
Vulgar.
:48:12
Show-off, huh? You know something?
You're right, Bill. Let's put it this way.
:48:18
You're a five-dollar textbook.
Me, I'm a two-cent tabloid newspaper.
:48:22
You're too good for the people.
:48:24
I am the people. Sure, I'm common -
just like most people.
:48:28
The common people put Christianity
on the map in the first place.
:48:32
What are you saying, Shara?
That you want to go to Zenith? Now?
:48:37
I wonder what God wants.
:48:41
All right, Shara. All right.
Maybe you are ready for Zenith.
:48:45
- Thank you. I'll be with you in a minute.
- Just think of it, Shara. Zenith.
:48:51
I think the answer to Mr Babbitt
ought to come from you.
:48:54
Tell 'em we're ready to talk, but they gotta
act fast. Only don't say it as crude as that.
:48:59
No, no. I'll use some of my
sweet-smelling five-buck words, huh?
