:02:01
We turn away
from matters of the flesh...
:02:04
and we turn to things...
:02:07
of the spirit.
:02:11
Lust...
:02:13
has a thousand avenues...
:02:16
the dance hall,
the ice cream parlor...
:02:19
the tenement saloon...
:02:21
the Turkish bath.
:02:24
Like the Hydra...
:02:26
it grows new heads everywhere.
:02:34
Even the modern inventions
of science...
:02:37
are used to cultivate immorality.
:02:42
The gas engine...
:02:45
has brought us
the automobile joyride...
:02:48
and an even more
pernicious menace...
:02:51
the roadside brothel.
:02:55
Electricity...
:02:57
has made possible
the degrading picture show.
:02:59
Because of the telephone...
:03:01
a young woman...
:03:03
can hear the voice of her suitor...
:03:07
on the pillow, right next to her.
:03:12
And let's not forget
the most scandalous invention of all...
:03:16
the talon-slide fastener...
:03:18
otherwise known as the zipper...
:03:20
which provides every man and boy
speedy access...
:03:25
to moral oblivion.
:03:27
Are you currently in good health?
:03:29
I suppose so. Mm-hmm.
:03:31
What makes you doubtful?
:03:33
Every doctor I've ever seen.
:03:35
Early disease left me
with a weakened heart.
:03:38
Did you have any illnesses
that kept you out of school?
:03:41
I had typhoid fever and rickets.
:03:43
Also rheumatic fever.
:03:45
Measles, chicken pox, pneumonia...
:03:48
and several bouts of influenza.
:03:54
Pomeroy, what are you doing?
:03:56
You're worse than Martin.
:03:58
Never make judgments about people.
