:39:00
Yes, but you must remember
that I grew up in a Christian family.
:39:05
- I was...
- A white man?
:39:13
If you wish to put it that way, yes.
:39:17
For over a hundred years,
:39:19
my ancestors fought that this church
might be established.
:39:23
Some of them died for it.
:39:25
I cannot wait 100 years,
Reverend Hale.
:39:29
I was the highest student
in the mission school in America.
:39:31
It was me and my words
that brought you here.
:39:40
That is correct.
:39:48
I've been thinking lately
:39:50
that our church is ready
for a board of deacons.
:39:53
I'm willing to make you
their head, Keoki.
:39:56
You would move among
the Hawaiians,
:39:58
find out who is smoking,
who has alcohol on his breath,
:40:01
who is sleeping with another man's wife,
that sort of thing.
:40:05
Then each week you will hand me a list
to be admonished from the pulpit.
:40:12
I sought a way to serve my people.
:40:15
Not to spy upon them.
:40:21
Your mother will not be pleased that
you have refused the deaconship.
:40:26
My mother is dying.
:40:28
Your mother is not dying, Keoki.
:40:31
I just talked with her.
There's nothing wrong with her.
:40:36
She will die.
:40:39
And then will come
the whistling wind.
