Elmer Gantry

Sister Sharon Falconer: But tonight is a thousand years away. George Babbitt: Besides, I'm for a free press, for free enterprise... and for whatever the hell the other freedoms are! Lady in red on Christmas Eve: That's the trouble with this stinking world. Nobody loves nobody. Clean-up man: Mister, I've been converted five times. Billy Sunday, Reverend Biederwolf, Gypsy Smith, and twice by Sister Falconer. I get terrible drunk, and then I get good and saved. Both of them done me a powerful lot of good - gettin' drunk and gettin' saved. Well, good night.
