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!
1:14:46
Don't do it, Shara. Don't get yourself
mixed up in an alley fight. Listen to me...

1:14:55
Why, Georgie, hello!
1:14:57
- You shut up. I am crucified to pieces.
- What's the matter?

1:15:00
What's the matter? "Why did
George F Babbitt underwrite a guarantee

1:15:04
of $30,000 to bring a revival to Zenith?"
1:15:06
"Is Sister Sharon
preaching the word of Jesus

1:15:09
or the gospel of Babbitt's
real-estate business?"

1:15:13
For God's sakes! I don't want any trouble.
1:15:16
I am in business.
I'm a 32nd-degree Mason.

1:15:19
George boy, don't take
this thing so seriously!

1:15:22
- I just sure as hell don't think it's a joke!
- We'll lick it, Georgie!

1:15:26
"Georgie!" My telephone
has not stopped ringing.

1:15:29
Everybody's mad at me or laughing at me.
Even my own family's turned against me.

1:15:33
As of right now,
1:15:35
I am cancelling out on my support -
financial and every other way.

1:15:39
George, you've got to fight back!
1:15:44
- Fight the press?
- Yes.

1:15:46
Mister, do you know anybody
ever licked the newspapers?

1:15:49
Me and you.
1:15:52
Besides, I am for a free press,
and for free enterprise,

1:15:56
and for... whatever the hell
the other freedoms are!
