But Tolstoy, Darwin, Jefferson, Lincoln -
they had the same doubts.
1:23:06
Then they'll burn in hell, too!
1:23:10
Mr Eddington, in spite of
Mr Lefferts' confessed bigotry,
1:23:13
I defend your right to publish these
articles. But give us equal rights.
1:23:17
- Your reply'll be published prominently.
- Mr Eddington, I'm no writer.
1:23:21
Now, Jim is brilliant and witty.
Uses words like a stiletto.
1:23:24
He learned from Mencken, Ingersoll,
Sinclair Lewis, other atheists.
1:23:28
- Atheists!
- But you own a radio station.
1:23:30
Set the time. Half an hour.
Tonight? Tomorrow? Name it.
1:23:33
Every day for two weeks -
half-hour in the morning and evening.
1:23:37
- Just to answer this article?
- I don't intend to answer anything.
1:23:42
You don't debate the existence of God.
1:23:44
Jim, here, has spread
the poison of doubt and disbelief.
1:23:47
Just give me a chance to spread the
gospel, to raise the banner of Christianity,
1:23:52
to restore the faith he stole.
1:23:55
Now, sir, I realise time means money -
especially radio time.
1:23:58
Right.
1:24:01
So our good citizen, George F Babbitt,
1:24:03
has kindly consented to pay for every
minute of radio time. Right, George?
1:24:08
Georgie boy?
1:24:12
- Right.
- Thank you, sir. Good night.
1:24:16
Sister.
1:24:18
Good night, Mr Eddington. Mr Lefferts.
1:24:21
- Jim boy.
- Congratulations.
1:24:24
I bear you no malice. Mr Babbitt.
1:24:27
Blasphemy! Good night, Mr Eddington.
1:24:31
And you... you ought to be
ashamed of yourself.
1:24:48
Oh, it was... glorious.
1:24:51
Outrageously, blissfully glorious.
1:24:55
Oh, you really are an alley fighter.
You hit Brother Jim both sides of the belt!
