I wonder what's holding you back
You wouldn't be in a hurry either if you had he been fired. Isn't that so?
Reverend Fallon was not fired
Look, here comes your daughter
This morning my father was going to give them his farewell sermon.
But, as you know, he's been sick.
And today he will not be able to be with you.
And as he did for so many years, he has dictated his sermon to me.
Here I have it, and I'm going to read it.
"Friends, today I leave you, after spend many years in this church,
as a servant of the Lord, whom I pray
put words in my mouth
and that the tribulations of my heart, be acceptable in his sight
I have baptized many of you in the grace of the Lord
I have joined others in marriage.
And over the deceased bodies of some of your loved ones
I have spoken of the beautiful, final victory
that comes with the salvation of the Lord
I would have liked to continue as his shepherd for the years that remain to me,
since I hoped to live and die in this pulpit.
But, you have decided to call someone else,
A younger man, May he guide you and serve you.
So, he left it to you, but I do not leave the Lord.
Surely, goodness and mercy They will follow me all the days of my life.
And I have to stay in the house of the Lord forever.
When the heart is thirsty, there are springs in the Testaments:
The Lord is my shepherd, I will not desire.
He makes me lie in the green pastures
He has guided me through walls of water
� he has restored him..."
It came this far.
This was her farewell message.
They notice that she stopped in the middle of a sentence
My father is dead.
He died in my arms five minutes ago.
Before I could finish his message.
But, I'm going to finish it instead. Miss Fallon,
The news it brings is painful, but, I don't think it's appropriate...
You are the head deacon of this church, Mr. Simpson,
And I wish you would listen to what I have to say,
Because, it was his gang that that started all this problem.
Go away if you want.
My father preached to hollow hearts. Me I wouldn't mind doing it to empty benches.
My father is dead, you killed him!
You crucified him, so sure as he was crucified.
He died of disappointment, of grief, of ingratitude.
He gave his life to serve them, and when he became old and tired
You fired him.
You all come in cars to the church. He always had to walk.
I didn't even leave enough money, after 20 years of service,
to buy a decent place in the cemetery. Ah, Ah.
This is not the time nor the place to talk about those things.
And I must ask you to remember that is in the house of God
What God? Which God? Yours?
This is not the house of God, this is a meeting place for hypocrites.
It's out of control, I won't listen...
�Okay, go ahead, get out of here!
You have been leading this church, but I'm going to direct it for the next hour.
I'm going to preach the sermon that my father should have given.
The Bible says that the worker deserves his salary.
But you didn't pay your pastor what they pay their drivers.
I have also worked without pay.
I have served them by helping them, and That's why you have to listen to me.
I don't have to make any notes either.
I have grown up with the Bible, and I know her by heart.
I have chosen my text for this morning
from chapter 23, Gospel of Matthew.
And he will tell them what Christ He said to the scribes and the Pharisees,
"Misfortune befall you, hypocrites, over their devouring widows and their houses,
and for trying to make long sentences. "
Woman, you are crazy. Get out of that pulpit!
You are crazy. Leave it to they. I'm with you, Florence.
Who among you is poor in spirit?
Who among you cries?
Which of you is pious and humble?
Some of you have listened to my father for 20 years,
and they can't remember a word of those told you, but surely you will remember this:
You subscribe to temperance,
and I can tell you the names of the liquor smugglers here.
They pretend to be decent. I I know which of you deceives
wives and husbands.
Should I say their names?
What are they running from? Do they fear the truth?
Was that why they fired my father?
You are thieves, murderers, adulterers, blasphemers and liars
six days a week.
And on the seventh day, you are hypocrites.
Go on, get out, everyone!
Come out, so I can open these windows
and allow air to enter fresh to this church.
Attababy! Attababy!
What do you want? You can believe it or not,
I'm waiting for a train to take me out of this city. Hornsby is my name.
I passed through this city by accident.
I don't mind telling you what I was thinking in all the things he just said.
This trip came to seem useless to me,
but I've had the idea that, after all it won't be like that.
I would like to have one conversation with you, Sister.
Leave me alone, get out of here.
Forgive me for disturbing you, Sister.
I have heard her say that there wasn't much money left
to give the reverend a decent funeral.
I am well placed and if you allow me...
No thanks, I can handle myself.
Don't get me wrong.
I know I have no right at a time like this.
But, if there is something I can do...
Has he called her family?
I don't have family.
That's hard.
I know how she feels.
What are her plans?
I have no plans.
You were great.
But she was hitting her head against a wall.
Just like her father.
What did you get him?
What was achieved?
After what a while she told them in the churches,
I guess he won't stay here. Right?
Where do you think it will go? Oh, I don't know.
Please leave. No There is nothing I can do.
Well, I'm sorry.
I thought I could help, that was all.
Thank you for being so kind.
Sister, you must listen to me, because We are both in the same thing.
I don't have any plans either.
Without profession, without beliefs and without limits.
But I do have one thing:
a way to get ahead.
And it works.
You think you gave him a good spank those people, don't you?
Well, you didn't. They gave it to you.
There's only one way to get there to the crowd. Join her.
Now wait a minute, Sister. Let me finish.
You're not a hypocrite, if you admit it.
The thing is, being with the winners. Play by percentage.
Most of the problems in this world It comes from people with convictions.
The answer is, don't have any.
If you don't have it, you can assume the one they pay for.
Are you upset with those people? because they fired your father,
and that killed him. You want to hurt them, don't you?
Well, I can tell you how to do it,
and be famous and rich, and also
get what you are looking for.
- Are you interested? - Wait.
OK, now let's get organized.
First of all, what do you know? You know the Bible with your heart.
You can get bunches of teachings from it.
Your father was a preacher.
And you have to have a lot persuasion in your blood.
You were born with it. you have to do something with that, right?
Now, religion, like all the others things. It's wonderful if you can sell it,
It's not good if you give it away. Now, let him show you.
And I bring you the promise and supplication
that God is the heaven of him, and all is well with the world.
Oh, my dears, I cannot see you,
but I can feel them around me.
Thousands and thousands of you tuned in to the station G-I-O-S, GOD,
at a wavelength that carries his blessed Word
to the most distant regions of the universe.
Just like this little microphone in front of me
bring my voice to your ears...
�Mrs. Johnson!
Do you mind going down a little the volume of that radio?
- The Lord transmits to you on a universal frequency
that penetrates hearts and souls
of those who are ready for this program.
I come to you with a message of hope...
Between. It's me, Mrs. Higgins.
Give me a minute to recover Breath, Mr. John.
Some letters for you.
Letters or packages?
Packages.
But you can never judge a book for its cover, as I always say.
I will open it for you.
They are the songs. They have returned again.
There is a letter too.
It's from Ziegler Music Corporation, Songs that sell.
"Dear. Carson..." I know, I know.
"We regret that they are ineligible to our current needs
and we are returning them attached.. Thanking you. and so on... so on... so on...
That's right.
Either way, they are always friendly,
- You said that's from Ziegler? - Yes.
Well, we've sent them from A to Z.
After Z, what?
X, Y, Z... Nothing.
Well, here we go to nothing.
Now, you shouldn't get too depressed.
Oh, what makes you think I'm depressed?
I know what would lift your spirits:
a good cup of coffee.
Now, stay right there while I go to prepare it.
YOU have been very kind to me, Mrs. Higgins.
I will remember him in my will.
She will be dead and gone for a long time before you make her will.
The problem with most people It's that they are deserters, they are treacherous.
At the moment when they are put to the test, they crumble.
The difference between a man and a weak man
it is the fact that man He has determination.
�What did God give him determination for?
To stay standing on your feet.
That's what real men do.
Beethoven wrote his best deaf symphonies.
Oscar Wilde wrote his great poems in prison.
And Milton, a blind man, gave Paradise Lost.
It is easy to forgive sinners but It is difficult to do so with deserters.
God has a plan... What are you laughing at?
I'm laughing at you for telling me that there is nothing else after the Z.
Well, what comes after the Z?
- A. - Un? "A what?"
A good blow to the nose for being so depressive.
Me?
I've been thinking.
It came to me like lightning.
I'll tell you, "Un que."
A wife.
Now, you leave me alone.
I've been trying talk to you about it before.
I would have liked to be 30 years younger.
Who is that eccentric broadcast on the radio every day?
Eccentric?
Oh, you mean Sister Fallon?
Yes. Have you ever seen her?
Oh, who hasn't seen it?
Good...
What is she like?
Oh, she's wonderful...
You can barely describe it.
Good afternoon Good afternoon.
I'm glad I arrived early. It is the It is the early bird that catches the worm.
I always say it. I always say it.
Good afternoon, two?
Right this way.
Thank you.
When do they bring the elephants?
Don't be sacrilegious.
That's great, everyone. That's the spirit.
Now, we only have time for one more song before the start of the service.
Number 14, everyone.
Gee, I would like to have some peanuts.
I always say. Shh!
Looks like we'll stick around tonight.
Give me fire.
Hey, nix, Mr. Hornsby. He fire inspector lift...
I will take charge of the fire inspectors.
It will be his funeral.
Come on, turn it on.
Okay, raise the curtain.
Is she blonde or brunette?
Shh.
Be careful with those weapons.
Don't let anything happen to Sister.
How she secures her ticket for food, isn't it?
The grace of the Lord is with you.
Amen.
Dearest brothers,
all you meek of the earth,
all of you hardworking and overwhelmed,
I come here to raise the weight of your hearts.
All of you who suffer hunger and thirst,
I come to feed your hungry souls.
I'm in a cubicle It's a cage of terror
behind these bars that They are the bars of doubt.
I am facing the beasts that cry and destroy,
and listen, they can't hurt me, because I am...
Tonight is great. Giving to everyone.
- As Daniel said to Darius,
my God has sent an angel,
and has closed the jaws of the lion.
And I tell them. that there is not one soul among you
that these beasts can hurt, if they come to this cage
with love and understanding is their hearts.
Who among you will prove that is there no fear in the Kingdom of God?
What man, what woman?
Get up, someone. Any.
�There is not one among Do you trust in the Almighty?
Did not the Lord guide Daniel?
Why not any man?
What's up with that Collins guy? He hasn't shown up tonight?
�UD. I paid you last night, right? Well?
Drinking again, huh? Sure.
He's drunk as hell.
Hallelujah! Why not any man?
�They don't know that the lions don't can they hurt them if they have faith?
I know it, you know it. But do the lions know this?
"There is no one here who accepts the challenge of the Almighty?
What is wrong with these people?
Are they going to leave her alone?
Shh.
Where are you going?
I always wanted to join a circus.
Praise the Lord, here is a brother with faith.
The lions will eat you. No, They won't. I have a nickname.
Usher, show that man the way.
Right over there, sir.
Permission please?
She is trying to tell him that I am blind.
Oh, I'm sorry, sir.
Oh dear, I hope nothing happens to you.
Oh, I'm sure nothing It will happen with the Sister there.
Come in, brother. Don't be afraid. These beasts won't hurt you.
I fear you more. than to the lions.
Oh, bless him, brother.
Here, sit there.
Who is that idiot?
Where do we get it from?
He is one of the boys the city. He was an aviator.
Is he really blind? Yes. Blind as a bat.
I wonder how much he'll want for that.
How long has he been blind? How did that happen?
I joined the Navy to see the world.
What is his name?
Well, I think it has to be Daniel.
Oh, it's glorious to see faith like yours.
A blind man has entered this cage because he has Faith.
Oh, did not the Lord guide Daniel?
Hallelujah!
blessed are the blind They can't see the fear.
Or ye should have the faith of this blind boy.
He responded to God's call
to come up here among the beasts,
as much as he responded to the call of his country
to go among the beasts of the war in France.
Hallelujah, my people! Hallelujah!
Bless you, my friends.
I thank the Lord that you are here, because I love each of you,
and particularly this boy blind man, who shamed us all
with a brilliant example of Faith.
And I will take him in my arms
and he will sigh in your ears sweet secret of salvation.
Hallelujah!
Outside this temple, the pulse of the world beats with hatred.
Hate!
But in here, there is a heartbeat of love.
I wish you to join hands.
Join hands, where You are sitting, everyone.
That's brothers, That's sisters,
It doesn't make any difference the hand of whom they take
Take the one closest to you.
I want a complete chain of love in this store tonight.
I want you to be one, not many.
One with me, and one with God.
I want you to look at each other to others with a smile.
Smile and allow love and charity enter your hearts.
Now, don't you feel better already?
Faith.
You have shown it brother, when you came up here tonight with me.
And I solemnly promise that the day will come
In which your Faith will be rewarded.
The Lord will direct you as he did with Daniel.
I will open your eyes, and you will see again
Sister, would you put that in writing?
Because, it is written.
It's in the Bible, in every word, on every page.
You have shown Faith, and you should see again.
Hallelujah!
Who died?
Nobody, but I would bet that someone of us will be very sick
before the day ends.
Did Hornsby send for you, too? Yes...
If he yells at me, I quit.
I bet you he will. Me too.
That's not even half of what I will wait for it to start...
The worst gang of bums that I have never hired.
Here I am, breaking my neck to bring multitudes,
and we're packing them in rafts. And what good does that do?
Night after night I keep telling them,
"Learn your lines! Know your material!
And when they go up to the platform to testify, believe it!
"Believe him!"
You told me you were a perfect invalid.
And when I hire you, I promise you that that you could see yourself with a Rolls-Royce.
Boss, I... - Because, you couldn't limp
on a pair of skates.
A week ago you missed the appointment to walk towards the lions' den.
Today you missed the appointment again. I didn't hear it!
Well, listen to this: if it happens again, you are fired.
And you're supposed to be a widow,
devastated by the loss of her loved ones, alone in the world.
You told me you were 10 years old experience and that you could finish them off.
Oh, I... I can, Mr. Hornsby. Surely you can. With your breath.
You almost knocked me out the other night.
You also know like me that Hiccups and hallelujahs don't mix.
What happened to you tonight, Brown? You looked like a doll.
Well, he was supposed to be paralyzed.
Yes, but from the head up.
And you. I guess you're going to say
And he was paralyzed too. - You can't paralyze ivory.
We prepare a sad routine for you that would move a mountain.
And you did it as if you were reading the phone book.
What do you hope to obtain with the mouth full of gum?
Bernhardt can't do it, and you are not Bernhardt.
You're not even one of the Cherry Sisters.
I want action on the platform! I want sincerity and energy.
How do you expect customers to Do they believe it if you don't?
The Sister takes them to paroxysm, almost to the clouds.
So you idiots go up, and They start grabbing their hats.
They sleep with you. Now yes You want to eat regularly,
You must digest what I just told you.
Now, escape, you incompetents.
Believe in your characters!
I don't know what I'm going to do with these profiteers.
Why don't you fire them.
Now, Flo, I'll tell you over and over again,
we can't run a business like this one without these fakers.
Surely you can.
You know why always do we slow down at the end?
Because they don't do their job well.
No, it's because I don't do my part well.
They are fake, Bob, and I know they are false.
It makes me feel like them. And then I'm not good.
What do you mean? - Oh, I don't know.
Well, all I know is this: When I'm out there, talking to those people,
I have to make them feel that is real, or I couldn't do it.
You have worried me.
You're starting to believe your own propaganda.
And that's bad.
Why don't you take the lesson from your Bible that says:
"Do not let your left hand know what the right is doing. "
Do you know why we are in the top of the world right now?
Because we are professionals and not amateurs.
You can't go on without these fakes.
How much did you pay the blind man who Did he enter the cage last week?
Oh, that guy.
Tell me, we would starve if we had We had to wait for people like that to show up.
It takes a lot of money to for a tabernacle to function.
Do you know how much it costs to grease politicians?
so that they let us operate in this old farm?
No, and I don't want to know. - Correct.
I don't want to worry you with these things.
That's my part.
Tell me, what's bothering you, girl?
You have obtained everything you want.
No, I haven't achieved it. Me I feel like Exhibit A.
I never go anywhere. Never I have the opportunity to meet people.
Because, you know thousands of people.
Oh, not that way.
Why do you watch me all the time?
I can't go around corner without someone being behind.
That's just for your protection.
You have to remember who are you. We have created a brand.
We have to take care of ourselves.
Well, that doesn't mean I have to be a prisoner all the time, right?
Oh, now, dear, you're tired.
You have to go home and go to bed.
I don't want to go to bed. No I couldn't sleep in any way.
Tell me, there is a carnival in the city, a pack of old friends.
I will gather them all, and We will have a lot of laughter.
Laughter.
I've almost forgotten how to laugh. - You will learn everything again tonight.
Tell me, where should we go?
What do you think of my apartment? - Oh, I don't care.
Any place, anyone. - Correct.
Just leave it to your old friend Hornsby.
Now, you've been Working too hard, darling.
You've been giving these too much fools for their money.
Now you must rest,
and daddy will take off your shoes.
We will join...
and we will make love.
You drive me crazy, when you get angry, baby.
You look more beautiful.
Hello boss! Hello, Sister! Follow forward. Don't worry about me.
I don't see, I don't hear and I don't speak.
I know what you're going to say,
"Don't think. " - What do you want?
I just checked the list of assholes from last night.
And boys, when leaving this town,
We will own everything except of the next wheat harvest.
How many times have I told you not to talk? business when sister is around
I didn't think you would object if He brought good news to her.
object to anyone tell him anything.
And don't come in here again without first knocking on the door.
What do you have in mind?
Well, as your general sales manager,
I allow myself to report that since we installed the new system
not to take anything disgusting money in the tabernacle,
but putting pressure on those fools the next day at their homes,
We have more than doubled the collection.
Yes? For the time you have yours,
we will not have more than what we collected when we passed the hat around.
It's costing us too much. - If so, what?
Well, you can be working for the Lord, brother. But I do it for Bill Welford.
There are 20 tricksters with me, and I have I have to share my commission with them.
You may think I'm getting too much, but I don't think 20% is enough.
You are crazy.
You seem to forget that we are collecting that money for the construction of the Tabernacle.
I know, I know, that's it which I also tell you.
The problem with you, Welford, It's that you are too mercenary.
Now, come to my meeting and you will know some carnival figurines.
that will make you forget everything about money.
Oh, is that so?
They never make you forget it.
Sister? "Sister"?
I'm sorry.
Oh my god.
Lew! Lew!
Can you help a lady in trouble?
My car is parked in front the street and my driver is asleep.
I wonder if you would be so good to run there
and you would ask him to drive here.
Because, I... Here, do you mind?
I'm sorry, I... Oh, It's okay. Don't bother.
Lew!
Sure, I would be delighted.
Please.
Oh, I'm so sorry.
Forgive me. You see, I didn't recognize him.
Here, you must allow me to give you a push.
Oh no. Please don't bother.
It will be fine, there's one for bus on the corner.
No, now, you will wait here, and I will return. Now, wait.
Lew! Lew! Yeah.
Do you see that man who goes down the street?
Yes, ma'am.
Advance it. Ah.
Taxi, sir? I'm fine thanks.
The rain won't hurt me. - Neither do I. Come on.
Hey, wait for me.
This is as close as I can get be by Sir Walter Raleigh.
Well, his hat is a little big. - Used by you.
exaggerate my importance. - Thank you.
"Wait for me, Lea!" I better take...
Better put her back in the car.
Well, if she does, she'll just have to bring him back here again.
Oh, I've given you enough trouble already.
Listen, Sir Walter Raleigh doesn't he would leave a woman in the rain
On a night like this, would he do it? - Well, it's four floors up.
The elevator doesn't work. - Do you know something?
I never use elevators They make you feel terrible dizziness.
Come on.
Here it is. Running water, heating.
On a good day, you can see clearly across the alley.
I can take off my hat and look across the alley?
Oh, but games aside, I know you I'm stopping myself from going somewhere.
You yourself told me that You were changing clothes.
Oh I am, but I don't have nowhere to go.
Absolutely? - Positively, Mr. Shean.
You are terribly anxious for getting rid of me, right?
I must be terribly boring.
Oh, no, no. Stay. Sit down. I'll prepare some tea.
Let me take off your coat.
I should say, let me take off my coat.
Oh, excuse me. I can turn on a little light.
Oh, how will you drink your tea? With lemon or...
lemon? Lemon, please.
Well, the kettle is on. That's good.
What will he do now?
I'm tough in entertainment, especially for ladies.
Outside of Mrs. Higgins, you are the The only woman who has come up here.
And who is Mrs. Higgins? Oh...
It's me, Mrs. Higgins.
Oh, excuse me.
Oh, I didn't know you had company. I'll be out in a minute.
Mrs. Higgins, This is Sister Fallon.
Oh, sure.
And I suppose you are Saint John, and I am Martha Washington.
Tell me, you really look like Sister.
But it happens that I know the voice of the sister as well as her face.
Say something, and it will tell you whether or not you are the Sister.
- Mrs. Higgins... Come on, say a few words.
Eenie, meenie, minie, mo.
For the holy land! You are Sister Fallon.
Oh, and I'm fresh and everything.
But I'm so used to it to see her float in white robes.
Why didn't you tell me that she was the Sister?
I always say: Calm waters are deep,
Oh how funny, she was so excited which I almost forgot to upload.
There is a package for you.
I will open it.
For the holy land!
What is it?
Oh, why did you have to bring that up here now?
It's me, Mrs. Higgins. - Yes, but for what?
Nothing. Someone gave it to me.
Perhaps he would be a suitable chaperone.
Chaperone?
Oh I always say two is one company and three a crowd.
Good night, Sister. - Good night.
Good evening, Mr. John. - Good night.
You shouldn't pay attention to her.
Why don't you come and sit here, near the fire.
I want you to know that I do not approve the sale of that plaster thing.
Anyway, what made you buy it?
Well, I wanted to know what you are like.
Yes, but how could you...?
Oh.
You were an aviator, weren't you?
Oh well,
It was so long ago, really I don't remember much about that.
What will we do now?
Who plays the piano? - I do it, when no one is there.
Tell me, would you like to listen to the best music?
I would love to.
Let me introduce you to my two friends:
Pagliacci the clown, and Sambo the dancer.
Now, what would you like to hear? Ballads, songs, symphonies?
Oh...
Oh, a little opera. - Opera. Very good.
Laugh, clown, laugh.
Is that nice?
Can you sing it?
Come on, sing.
The Tabernacle does not respond, Mr. Hornsby.
Well, he calls his apartment again and he keeps calling until he answers you.
Please, I can't laugh anymore more. I'm almost sick.
Because, you haven't seen yet nothing. Here, he takes a card.
It's the ace of spades. Uh-huh.
Put it back in the middle.
Is it in the middle? - Yeah.
Take the card above.
Well, how in the world...?
Oh, cheater, they're all aces spades. Give me my money back.
Write me about it.
Oh, I can read it, Okay. But you will have to write it with scissors.
Scissors? - Yes...
I told you that the hand is faster That look, right? Look.
Do you know what this is?
It looks like King Tut's will.
It's called Braille.
It's like Morse code, only that the points are elevated,
and you can read them with your fingers. Observe.
A book of verses under the branches
Take it, try.
A piece of bread, a jug of wine And you after me.
Oh, cheater. You are not Reading you are remembering.
Yes, but I can learn it. It's like shorthand.
You know that my father He dictated all his sermons.
Oh, is your father also a Pastor?
Yeah.
Gee, he must be very proud of you.
Do you have...?
Do you have someone? - Not a soul.
�Don't feel lonely, living here, alone on your own?
But I don't live here just for my account. I have a partner.
Oh my God. I hope I didn't wake you up.
I will bring it. I want you to meet him.
No. Oh no. - Please, another time.
Oh, Al wouldn't forgive me if I didn't introduce him to you.
Get out, chump, get out of there.
Come on, I want you to meet a lady.
Leave me alone. I know a lady.
Come on, chump.
It's okay, it's okay. But It better be worth it.
Al, I want you to meet Sister Fallon. - Oh, how are you, Sister?
Where have you been all my life?
Cut that, Al.
Oh, lay an egg. Beam an omelette, will you do it?
You know, Sister, every time I speak,
This big doll tries to stop me.
Do you mind if I join the party? - Come.
Lucky stroke for you, chump.
Do you know who I am? I am the skeleton inside the closet.
He keeps me locked up until the He gets into trouble and then he gets me out.
Not utsgay. Not utsgay.
Here, Al. Another rude thing like that one, and I'll put the drawer back for you.
Yes. You and what else?
I bet the partner has been telling you the story of his life.
I bet it's been banging around he always does.
He even thinks he's a ventriloquist.
There you go again, getting personal.
Sure, I'm getting personal.
It's time here Someone get personal.
You know, Sister. I have heard a lot about you.
From whom?
Of the toad here present. Which is the only thing he talks about.
Sister this, Sister that that the stupid Sister...
I wish you to do a favor. Now, look here, Al...
Shut up. I'm not talking to you. - Don't bother the little boy.
I would be happy to make you a favor You know me, AL.
See, will you stay out of this?
It's not for me personally. It's for the groom.
You know what's wrong with him foolish? He is looking for a job.
Foolish. Job. Hey! I am a poet.
What rhymes with Sister? I have it.
"Mister."
Once upon a time there was a Sister named Flo
All dressed and unable to go out
One night in the rain I ran towards love
And she was impatient?
No no.
Do you know why Johnny was in the stage door tonight?
I wanted to go work for you. - For me?
Not for money. He can handle himself with what the government pays him.
He wants to work for you for nothing.
Isn't that correct? - It's right.
Yes, but why?
Come on, give it to him.
Well, if you don't, I will I It's because you saved his life.
Me? - Yes, you.
The funny part is that you don't you knew what you were doing.
�she ll go jump out that window,
but you were on the radio then. and you stopped it
with a few and well chosen words about deserters.
Is this true? Truly, it is true.
I told him the same thing many times times, but he didn't listen to me.
As far as I'm concerned, I should have jumped.
I just wouldn't have liked it stay alone with Mrs. Higgins.
I always say two is one company, three a crowd.
You mean something I said on the radio
"It really prevented will you jump out the window?
Yes. I started out like Hamlet, but you got me out of there.
Tell me, I can't do something for you? Work for you?
Card tricks or anything?
Good...
You write music. Do you believe that you can write hymns?
Boy, and I ask to write hymns. - Good, you're hired.
Thank you very much, and Al thank you very much
It will be around the tabernacle first thing in the morning.
Oh, I... I don't think it is It is convenient for you to come to the tabernacle.
Too many people coming in and going out all the time.
I think you would work better here at home.
Whatever you say.
And that would give me an excuse
to come see you from time to time.
Tell me, if you do that, don't I will have to leave the house.
Well, it was a pleasant visit.
And you taught me to laugh almost after having forgotten it.
Now stay out of the rain and don't be Hamlet again, will you?
It's okay.
- Good night. - Good night.
I'm...
I'm happy to have saved your life.
Up, Boys.
Don't miss the great show. Drown your sins in old gin,
and don't miss the big one, the only miraculous lady.
Oh dears!
The speech that I have cooked for you this afternoon is about
"Will you drink ginger ale, or will you drink white rum?"
Come in, Sister. We're taking a break.
- There is no worse sin in the world than mixing drinks!
Yes, Brothers and Sisters"...
Oh, hello, Sister. Hallelujah!
Please leave.
I phoned a dozen at your house of times. Where the hell were you?
Do I have to bring home letter reports?
Where did you pick up all that trash?
Now, wait for them to warm up.

Tell me, boss, listen to that you look for some comedians.
They are not paying salaries in our land, and I am available.
Yes? - Yeah.
Take this as a miracle.
You see, I come to a Sister like this.
She proclaims the myths of healing. I see the light and...
Hard!
Hallelujah!
I play the saxophone too. - Drop down and see me tomorrow.
Okay, boss.
It's not bad, right? - What is happening?
I thought you wanted to relax.
You don't like my party? - No.
Now, I'll kick you all out.
And we will have a nice and quiet small party just for us.
No, thanks. I want to go home.
Hello, Sister. I'm glad she decided to come.
I just told Hornsby... - Leave it!
No, I want her to hear this. She doesn't You can also assign me this Pollyanna thing.
I'm tired of doing the hard work, while you two keep all the sauce.
Twenty percent for me, and I have than give half to my tricksters.
And you share 80 percent.
I told you to go through the tabernacle.
Oh yes? Good. Who is going to live in it? Santa Claus?
I want a division between three. And I'm going to get it.
Not from me.
If I don't get it from you, I know where I can get it.
Where? - The nearest newspaper office.
Well?
I will get mine, I will not have should I dedicate myself to journalism?
You will get yours.
Okay, baby. She lives and lets live. That's my thing.

Amen!
Glory hallelujah!
Here are your papers, sir.
Lew? Yes, sir.
Where does Sister Fallon go all the nights after service?
Because, home.
Always?
Well, sometimes she wants to go for a walk.
Alone?
Sure. - You like your job, right?
Certainly. - And you want to keep it?
Yeah. - Well, if you do, remember,
the people I like stay here. the one I don't like, no
Okay, sir.
And this damn business of yours.
EVANGELIST EMPLOYEE FOUND DEAD
You've been feeling pretty good lately, right?
Yes. I think the weather suits me.
That doesn't show at the box office.
Now that business is bad, You don't stop singing all the time.
Maybe it's because I'm a bad businesswoman.
Maybe.
You finished early tonight, right?
I'm tired. I want to go home.
If you leave, I can get dressed.
Did you read the evening newspaper? - No.
We're on the first page again.
Look.
The police are bothering you.
It's a simple case of suicide.
Hornsby, do you have anything to do with this?
Me? Because, I haven't seen Welford in more than a week.
I guess there is a couple out there of detectives who will want to see us.
If it happened that they come when I'm not here,
I warn you that you should not say nothing you can know about that.
What can I know about that?
You know as well as I do, that he was drinking like a fish.
It was a hopeless case, I had hallucinations.
Briggs, bring the report from last week.
Suicide, simple as day.
Still, I suppose there will be a couple of police investigating there.
Could be a good I think we should take a break.
What do you mean?
Well, I thought we should Put up the tents and get out of here.
You need a change. - Not that kind of change.
No? Well, what do you suggest?
I suggest you fire those tricksters!
We don't need more, and I'm tired of them.
Is that it? Well, take this.
We made a deal, and this one worked.
I fulfilled everything I promised you and more.
When I get to you, You were smooth on your back.
Now that you have all the money what do you want. You have grown,
a car, a driver,
all the clothes and all the things that a woman could want.
What do you have? What more do you want?
Come. - Come back clean.
Come back clean, that's what I want.
We don't need those fakers. I want to play fair.
So why don't you play fair? with me, do you think I'm blind?
What happens to you after the services every night? Where are you going?
Where I want. I don't belong to you.
No. But I'm lucky first rank mortgage.
And it wouldn't be safe for anyone try to stick your nose in.
You make a complaint about that you are a prisoner.
Surely you are, and I I'm going to keep you prisoner,
because I'm crazy about you.
I loved you from the first time I saw you.
Let me go!
Hornsby, if you do that again...
We made 8,300 last week, sir.
Where are you going tonight? - Home.
Correct.
Early to bed and early to get up...
makes a lady healthy and wise.
I think I'll go home too.
Good...
See you at Church.
Home, Mr. Hornsby? No.
Take me to Sister Fallon's apartment.
- 22, 23, 24.
Many joyful returns. Oh wait.
Don't push me into another year like this.
It's four minutes until my birthday.
Just the time needed to...
Are you a total abstainer? No no to the point of annoying.
Good.
Here is something I have saved for a long time, more than 10 years.
I bought it in Paris.
Real Napoleon. Look.
�1804? The year of the great harvest.
Just think. It was bottled more 100 years before your birth.
I've been saving it for something special.
something particularly special, extra special.
now if you hold your breath for a moment...
Here, looking at you.
Happy birthday!
Let him speak! Let him speak!
Mr. President,
To the,
ladies and gentlemen,
Unusual as I'm going to speak in public,
I want to take advantage of this opportunity
to thank our host for this wonderful banquet.
Listen, listen!
I have eaten, I have drunk and I have laughed.
And as if my host didn't would have done nothing more for me,
I should always be grateful because he taught me to laugh.
I never had a birthday party before,
and I will never forget this, that is a promise.
And it reminds me of a promise I made to a young man
a few weeks ago in tabernacle platform.
I wonder if he remembers it. He-he remembers.
With all my heart...
I wish it to come true.
And now we will listen to our host.
Ladies and gentlemen.
You too, Al.
I want everyone to close their eyes for for a moment and keep them closed.
Now, what do you see? - Nothing.
Well, when you can't see the world, you have to invent one.
and, friends, mine has It's been a lovely world
since the guest entered him.
You will never meet another like her.
Even before we met, he saved my life.
And since then, she has changed it.
I never thought so much about God before.
But I do it now. He must be nice and wonderful
If she believes in him.
I'm not going to be the one who bores you making speeches tonight.
I'm just here to introduce it.
We have tonight with us a man who is so well known,
that needs no introduction.
I have great pleasure in presenting to you...
To that freeloader, that total dissolute,
that experienced traveler,
the greatest of the Don Juans,
the drunk of the Romeos, Aloysius K. Eucalyptus.
Hooray!
Mr. Eucalyptus to his health.
The same for you.
Ladies and gentlemen.
You too, Carson.
Naturally he was asleep
while our distinguished guest was addressing you.
what the story reminds me of from the traveling salesman...
Oh, we've heard that one before.
- And that of the farmer's daughter. We have heard that too.
Thanking you for your kind attention,
Ladies and gentlemen, I say goodbye, Al.
Good night, guys!
Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Enjoy it, Sister! Wonderful, Al.
Are you sober? - Yes, your ladyship.
Well, then, say: "Truly rural."
Tooly, rural rooly. Guilty!
Next case.
Are you sober? Positively.
Thirty days!
Sister, I was hoping that he was drunk too.
Why, Al?
If he was very drunk,
Maybe I would have the courage to say something to him.
Continue, Carson.
Give it to them in your own words.
If I were sure that She wouldn't laugh at me.
Suppose he laughs. Give it any way.
Come on, get it off your chest.
I won't laugh.
Do you hear that? Give it to him, Carson.
All she can say is no.
You give it to him, Al. - Good.
Here it goes.
Sister, he wants to tell you...
He...
I must have left my keys somewhere.
Someday I will do the same for you.
Thank you.
Did you have a good time?
You would NOT have been interested.
- What do you want? We're leaving, Sister.
We leave this station with Exit ticket only.
Not me. I like this city. - I've noticed it.
But we're leaving...
for the benefit of your health.
It has nothing to do with me.
Oh, yeah, you're exhausted.
You are on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Don't ask me.
Look.
I left at 4:00 in the morning, especially to bring you a copy of the newspaper.
"Rest by medical order."
And I am the doctor.
Hornsby, are you going to send a rectification to this story right now.
How? I'm not going to Palestine.
Of course not. The newspapers believe it is to Palestine.
My idea of ​​the Holy Land is in the south of France.
Monte Carlo, champagne, roulette,
and your old friend Hornsby around,
just so it doesn't turn into a tour.
I'm not going with you to Monte Carlo nor anywhere else.
I'll tell you what I'll do. I will commit to you.
It will give you the choice between two places:
Monte Carlo or...
the jail
I DON'T know what you're talking about.
You know this: I always keep my word,
even with rats like Welford.
And I'm warning you now, yeah You don't do what I told you,
You will have a long time to regret it.
Conviction for fraud This state is ten years.
You can't scare me like that.
You collected a lot of money to build a tabernacle.
What has become of that?
Don't know. - You have taken part.
Well, it was collected in your name, deposited in your name. It's still like this.
You signed all the checks. I I have the receipts to prove it.
If scamming doesn't bother you,
Maybe a little trial for murder for your money?
Murder? -The more I think about it,
It seems to me that Welford was murdered.
Only tonight, I realized that it was
on his way to the newspaper when it happened.
He had a briefcase full of data.
Everything about you too. -How do you know?
I have the briefcase.
As a good citizen, I must hand him over to the police.
You wouldn't dare. - No?
Why not? I'm just an honest employee.
You are the boss.
Poor old Welford.
I should have worked hard to write that material.
It can still make it to the newspapers...
if you insist.
There must be thousands of people
who contributed to the fund for the tabernacle.
What a disappointment it will be for them. read the secret story...
from Sister Fallon.
Don't you envy me? I go to him Jordan laughed and perhaps swam in it.
And then to the Wailing Wall, of which I have read so much in Jerusalem.
I guess I'll have to give some simple sobs.
Like sobs?
Ooh!
Come on, you taught me to laugh. Now teach me to sob.
My sobbing is not working tonight.
Why didn't you tell me last night that you were leaving?
OH, I didn't know that myself. my manager He is the one who takes care of those things.
We go every year. It's all part of the routine.
You're not leaving because of me, are you?
What do you mean, fool?
I mean, I don't expect...
Well, I have nothing to complain to you.
You know how I... - Like you...
What if you wanted to stay? You should see me again.
Now, you're not going to be Hamlet again, are you?
Listen, I'll take a dozen pairs of scissors with which to write to you.
And one of these days, like the bad penny, I will return.
Forgive me for being so conceited...
but last night I forgot that there is thousands of others who need you.
You and I were the only ones two people in the world.
I even started to think that... Oh...
With you gone it won't be the same world for me.
No, John.
Just pretend I'm not leaving.
Darling, you are...
You are crying.
No, I'm not.
God, Florence, I would just like to see your face just once before you leave.
I...
I have NOT forgotten.
Holy Father in heaven...
Your first commandment was "Let there be light."
Oh God...
please send light to these eyes without vision...
Reward the faith that...
Oh, it's no use, I can't. - What's wrong?
Everything is wrong.
I don't know how to play at this level anymore.
God wouldn't believe me even under oath.
You can see my face now without your eyes.
It is the face of a liar and a hypocrite.
NO, don't say things like that.
Do you want to know why I'm leaving?
It's because I'm a fake. And all those people
What do they say about good things? what I have done, are false too.
They are paid to testify. They are lies. All lies!
I'm not leaving, I'm running away.
Of what?
Of all those people that I have stolen and deceived.
Of those people who believe that I have performed miracles.
Miracles.
I wouldn't have believed it either.
The only decent thing since I met you
has been telling you the truth now.
Honey, I don't care. I love you.
You are fine, you are from TRUE. You are not a falsehood.
Because, it can't be. I'll prove it to you.
All those people who love and respect you,
you have helped them, I know you have done, because you did it with me.
No, they wouldn't believe you, not even if you had a platform and you will confess it to them.
There is something that is... Something that It has changed and it has scared you.
Tell me, what is it?
Tell me. I love you, darling. Don't go. I love you.
Am I bothering you?
I'm glad I agreed. I wanted to meet your boyfriend.
Oh, God. He is blind. -Yes?
Well, well, yes this is my old friend Daniel who entered the lion's cage.
What is Sister doing to you? Is she giving you treatment?
Florence, who is this? - Oh, come on, Hornsby, please.
Wait a minute. What is happening? You're not ashamed of me, are you, Sister?
I'll tell you who I am.
I'm the guy who tells you what to do and she does it.
You are very lucky, bastard you're blind.
I would like to show you some few stars for that.
Keep Sister out so late when she has so many things to do.
Oh, Hornsby, come on, please.
She takes Mr. Carson home. I'm going with Mr. Hornsby.
Yes, ma'am.
For the holy land. What time is it?
Okay, I'm going.
I'm in your room.
I'm dying of curiosity. What happened?
Mrs. Higgins, will you do something for me without asking so many questions?
Oh, you do the most impossible things.
Come on, take your hat and coat. Where are we going?
To the tabernacle. I want you Bring some matches and candles.
Candles?
Here is a window.
Where? Over here.
This is it.
open it.
I can't, it's closed.
Dirty too.
I always say that the cleanliness is close to God.
What are you doing this for?
He has broken it.
Oh, I hope there isn't no police around here.
In any case, for what are we doing this?
Follow me. Me?
Oh dear.
I don't think I can.
Oh, go I'm going to fall. If we were thieves, we would not approve.
Oh, I haven't been through a window in years.
Here. Turn this on.
Not since I came out with that... Where are the matches?
- Good-for-nothing sailor.
I don't believe it.
Now show me Sister Fallon's room. - Good.
I hope there are no mice.
Find your room. - Good.
"Tabernacle Committee."
"Sister Fallon, private." - This is it.
Now, what are we going to steal? - Nothing.
All I want you to do is be my eyes.
I want to know this room, every part of it.
For what? - To pretend that I can see.
Now, what's in it?
Well, two chairs and an armchair
and a dressing room... -How far is the dressing room?
About six steps.
No, to the left.
“This way?” - That is.
Why do you want to pretend that you can see?
To make Sister believe that she made me see.
And maybe she will stay.
I want to manufacture a miracle. Do you understand now?
But what good will there be in it?
What is this? - A little table.
She'll find out the next time she sees him.
There are some cigarettes on it.
There will be no other time. Leave.
Now, what's on this side of the room?
A large table.
How far?
About three steps.
But why if you leave? Do you want her to stay?
What is this? A photo of someone.
There's something written on it, too.
Read it for me.
"To Florence, with love from her father."
Ah, isn't it nice?
Put it back where it was, please.
And sit down and tell me if I'm doing it right.

The place is full, Mr. Hornsby. Can I put a chair on the stage?
Don't do anything, leave them standing. - Fine, I'll leave you standing.

Sorry, you can't see Sister now. She is getting ready.
My name is Mr. Hornsby? Yeah. Let him enter the group.
Yeah. Yeah.

Get out there, Brown, and stop The rest of the people keep coming in.
Good.
Now understand this. We want you this farewell sermon of Sister
It's the biggest thing I've ever done.

"Whenever you say goodbye, leave a smile."
Now, Georgie was a great showman, but I'm going to be a better one.
I'm going to leave them all crying.
He has spent a lot of money in flowers tonight.
I want those flowers moistened with tears.
I want those rhythmic steps very open.
Let's give Sister a farewell that she will never forget.

Give us today our daily bread
And forgive our sins
How we forgive to those who offend us
Don't let us fall into the temptation and deliver us from all evil
For the believer it is the reign power, and glory
Forever and ever Amen.

For six months I have fed you, and You haven't won a single fight for me.
But, boss, give me a chance...
If you don't knock that pack out tonight,
I deposit you again in the garbage dump from which I took you.
I can't waste my time on losers.
Oh, don't worry. I'm ready to fight
How are you, boss?
What do you think of the hooks? left that I have been showing you?
When you get in the ring, everything What you do is throw a package of right hands.
Where do you suppose it would be? Dempsey without his left hook?
But I have to hit him... - Oh, shut up.
What are all those people for?
Holy Smoke.
