And icicles would grow
from your upraised palms.

:08:08
If you're freezing,
you burn the furniture...

:08:10
...but you get off your knees.
- Somewhat unorthodox, Reverend Scott.

:08:14
But realistic.
:08:16
John, the church is
for more than prayer.

:08:19
With those sermons, it's a wonder
you're still ordained.

:08:22
- Or are you?
- The best kind.

:08:24
Angry, rebellious,
critical, a renegade...

:08:28
...stripped of most of my
so-called clerical powers.

:08:31
But I'm still in business.
:08:33
- You seem to enjoy the punishment.
- Punishment?

:08:37
The church has blessed me.
:08:39
Banished to a new country in Africa.
Hell, I had to look it up on a map.

:08:45
My bishop doesn't know, but he's
given me exactly what I wanted:

:08:50
Elbow room. Freedom!
:08:53
Real freedom. Freedom to dump
all the rules and all the trappings.

:08:58
And freedom to discover God
in my own way.

:09:02
I'd better be going.
I'll see you later.

:09:07
John.
:09:10
Still want me to give
that sermon this afternoon?

:09:13
Well, one thing's for sure:
Nobody will sleep through it.

:09:17
The weather report, sir.
:09:20
"Weather moderate to the southeast.
Barometer 1016 millibars.

:09:24
Smooth seas, clear skies. " Good.
:09:27
Keep her on slow,
start taking on ballast.

:09:29
Aye, sir.
:09:33
Full ahead, captain.
:09:35
As I've told you, we don't have
enough ballast yet to run full ahead.

:09:41
I suggest we talk privately.
:09:44
Linus, start taking on ballast.
:09:49
I did not suggest full ahead, captain.
:09:52
As the new owner's representative...
:09:54
...I ordered it.
- Damn it, man...

:09:57
...the Poseidon is too fine a lady
to be rushed to the junkyard.
