John Garth
- John Garth: I'm sorry, Sir, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.
- Reverend Blake: Is there something I can do?
- John Garth: No, no, I'm quite capable of taking care of my wife myself.
- John Garth: My wife has not been well lately.
- Reverend Blake: You mean physically?
- John Garth: I wish it were that simple. Illnesses of the body are so much easier to cure.
- John Garth: Well, the new Reverend certainly has a way with words, doesn't he?
- Valerie Horvat: He's an educated man.
- John Garth: Maybe he's too educated. Folks around here won't trust him.
- Valerie Horvat: I'll do my best to be a good wife.
- John Garth: You can begin now!
- [aggressively grabs and kisses Valerie]
- Valerie Horvat: You are hurting me! What's the matter with you?
- John Garth: A woman with a baby can become very graspy. Especially with a mother like yours whispering in her ear.
- John Garth: During the war, Valerie, as I've told you, my job was gaining information from prisoners. I had a reputation for always getting what I wanted.
- Valerie Horvat: No one will believe it.
- John Garth: Oh, people are always willing to believe the worst.
