Movie Dialogue Sample
972
00:45:10,276 --> 00:45:11,777
[Chuckling] In a way, you are.
973
00:45:11,777 --> 00:45:14,280
You know, you-- you kill one of their fairy-tale notions,
974
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,781
and they'll bring down
975
00:45:16,282 --> 00:45:19,785
the wrath of god, Brady and the state legislature on you every time.
976
00:45:19,785 --> 00:45:21,787
You make a joke out of everything.
977
00:45:21,787 --> 00:45:23,289
Young lady
978
00:45:24,290 --> 00:45:26,292
I know what Bert is going through.
979
00:45:26,292 --> 00:45:28,294
It's the loneliest
feeling in the world.
980
00:45:28,794 --> 00:45:30,296
It's like walking down an empty street
981
00:45:30,796 --> 00:45:34,300
listening to your own footsteps.
982
00:45:34,300 --> 00:45:37,303
But all you have to do is to knock on any door
983
00:45:37,803 --> 00:45:39,805
and say, "if you'll let me in,
984
00:45:39,805 --> 00:45:41,807
"I'll live the way you want me to live,
985
00:45:41,807 --> 00:45:44,810
and I'll think the way "you want me to think,"
986
00:45:44,810 --> 00:45:46,312
and all the blinds will go up,
987
00:45:46,312 --> 00:45:47,813
and all the doors will open,
988
00:45:47,813 --> 00:45:50,816
and you'll never be lonely, ever again.
989
00:45:52,818 --> 00:45:54,820
Now, it's up to you, Cates.
990
00:45:54,820 --> 00:45:57,823
You just say the word, and we'll change the plea--
991
00:45:57,823 --> 00:46:01,327
th-that is, of course, if you honestly believe that the law is right
992
00:46:01,327 --> 00:46:03,329
and you're wrong.
993
00:46:03,329 --> 00:46:04,830
Now, if that's the case, just tell me,
994
00:46:04,830 --> 00:46:06,832
and I'll pack my bag and go back to Chicago
995
00:46:06,832 --> 00:46:09,335
where it's a nice, cool 100
in the shade.
996
00:46:09,335 --> 00:46:11,337
Bert, I've gone to my father's church
997
00:46:11,837 --> 00:46:14,340
every sunday as long as I can remember.
998
00:46:14,340 --> 00:46:16,342
This is where I live.
999
00:46:16,342 --> 00:46:18,844
This is where my children will be born.
1000
00:46:18,844 --> 00:46:20,846
What kind of a life could we have
1001
00:46:23,099 --> 00:46:25,601
Well, what kind of a life could we have if I gave up now
1002
00:46:27,103 --> 00:46:28,104
your father's kind
1003
00:46:28,104 --> 00:46:30,106
Hallelujah, and ignorance, here we come
1004
00:46:30,606 --> 00:46:32,108
Rach, what goes on in this town is not necessarily
1005
00:46:32,108 --> 00:46:34,110
the christian religion everyplace else.
1006
00:46:39,482 --> 00:46:41,984
Rach, I can't live the way you want me to
1007
00:46:43,486 --> 00:46:45,488
You're the one who's got to decide.
1008
00:46:46,489 --> 00:46:48,491
It's his church or our house.
1009
00:46:48,491 --> 00:46:49,992
You can't live in both.
1010
00:46:52,995 --> 00:46:54,497
[Mort] sorry, Bert.
1011
00:46:54,997 --> 00:46:56,999
I have to take you back now.
1012
00:47:16,519 --> 00:47:18,521
You ever been in love, Hornbeck
1013
00:47:19,021 --> 00:47:21,524
Only with the sound of my own words, thank God.
1014
00:47:24,527 --> 00:47:26,529
I have been to their cities
1015
00:47:27,029 --> 00:47:29,532
and I have seen the altars upon which they sacrifice
1016
00:47:29,532 --> 00:47:32,535
the futures of their children to the gods of science.
1017
00:47:33,536 --> 00:47:35,037
And what are their rewards
1018
00:47:35,037 --> 00:47:37,039
confusion and self-destruction.
1019
00:47:37,540 --> 00:47:40,042
New ways to kill each other in wars
1020
00:47:40,042 --> 00:47:43,045
I tell you, gentlemen, the way of scientism is the way of darkness
1021
00:47:43,045 --> 00:47:46,048
Now, Mr. Brady, do you, ah, believe
seriously
1022
00:47:46,048 --> 00:47:48,050
that the majority of the American people
1023
00:47:48,551 --> 00:47:50,553
hold with your views
1024
00:47:50,553 --> 00:47:53,556
not just the views
of Matthew Harrison
Brady, Mr. Hornbeck.
1025
00:47:53,556 --> 00:47:55,558
There isn't one state in the union
1026
00:47:55,558 --> 00:47:58,060
where the evolutionists are in the majority.
1027
00:47:58,060 --> 00:48:01,564
It'll be the people themselves of our great land who will speak.
1028
00:48:01,564 --> 00:48:04,066
Mr. Brady, how do you account for the unfortunate comment
1029
00:48:04,066 --> 00:48:06,068
that your crusade has aroused
1030
00:48:06,569 --> 00:48:09,572
the attacks upon me stem from a vociferous minority
1031
00:48:09,572 --> 00:48:12,074
which happens to control the press.
1032
00:48:12,074 --> 00:48:14,577
I hope you gentlemen--
madam--
1033
00:48:14,577 --> 00:48:17,580
will not be influenced by this same negative bias.
1034
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:19,582
Pardon me.
1035
00:48:20,583 --> 00:48:23,085
Thank you, O lord, dear father,
1036
00:48:23,085 --> 00:48:25,588
from whom all blessings flow, for thy bounty,
1037
00:48:25,588 -->
