1:33:02
We're all sinners,
every blessed one of us

1:33:12
Booze! Booze put a bullet
through Lincoln and McKinley!

1:33:18
Booze is the way white slavers rob the
virtue of 60,000 American giris every year!

1:33:27
The bootleggers, the white slavers,
1:33:30
and that newspaper are tryin'
to scare me and Sister outta town!

1:33:37
But as long as I got a foot, I'll kick booze!
1:33:39
As long as I got a fist, I'll punch it!
1:33:42
And as long as I've got a tooth, I'll bite it!
1:33:45
And when I'm old and grey
and toothless and bootless,

1:33:49
I'll gum it, till I go to heaven,
and booze goes to hell!

1:33:59
That's a hell of a speech.
1:34:01
It's been eight days. It's been eight days
since I gave you the addresses

1:34:06
of 11 blind tigers, two cocaine peddlers,
1:34:10
and 16 brothels.
1:34:12
And what's been done about it?
1:34:14
- Nothing, Captain.
-

1:34:19
We're gettin' sick and tired of scoldin' sin.
1:34:22
We're gonna abolish it!
1:34:24
We'll show 'em how to clean up
this town tonight! Right now!

1:34:28
Charge!
1:34:34
Elmer, be careful.
1:34:35
Courage, Sister. Courage.
1:34:50
Brother Jim! Glad to see you
on the side of the angels.

1:34:55
Aren't you afraid some of these
desperate bootleggers carry guns?

1:34:59
- No bullet could pierce the Holy Bible.
- They might not aim at the Holy Bible.
